The meaning of life is

41
00:01:42,470 --> 00:01:43,550
a broad concept.

42
00:01:45,350 --> 00:01:47,960
Life is meaningful per se.

43
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,470
I came.

44
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:52,520
I did.

45
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:53,990
I had.

46
00:01:56,110 --> 00:01:58,320
Whether you succeed or fail,

47
00:02:00,550 --> 00:02:01,990
isn't your life

48
00:02:02,950 --> 00:02:04,670
meaningful per se?

49
00:02:11,070 --> 00:02:11,910
Also...

50
00:02:18,510 --> 00:02:19,510
Who are you?

51
00:02:20,910 --> 00:02:22,190
This is my life.

52
00:02:23,190 --> 00:02:24,560
Who are you to interfere?

53
00:02:24,910 --> 00:02:28,040
Who are you to judge it?

54
00:02:29,350 --> 00:02:31,160
People's lives are different.

55
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,560
We live in our own ways.

56
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,070
If everyone copies yours,

57
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,120
all living in the same way,

58
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,390
that kind of life is meaningless.

59
00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:44,670
We define our own lives.

60
00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:46,030
Listen,

61
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,630
don't think you're so good by asking me

62
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,600
pretentious questions with a long face.

63
00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:54,230
If you really are good,

64
00:02:54,230 --> 00:02:55,070
then tell me,

65
00:02:55,230 --> 00:02:56,950
what's the meaning of your life?

66
00:02:57,950 --> 00:02:59,160
You don't know, do you?

67
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,390
So shut up and listen.

68
00:03:02,510 --> 00:03:04,470
I'm so sick of your...

69
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,120
Hold on.

70
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,440
I'm out of breath.

71
00:03:09,510 --> 00:03:10,350

Don't leave.

75
00:03:16,510 --> 00:03:17,350
We'll continue

76
00:03:17,470 --> 00:03:18,560
in my next life.

77
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,160
- Director!
- Do CPR!

78
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,190
- Got it.
- Yes.

79
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,230
- Mr. Yang, stay put.
- Don't go!

80
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,350
- Sir, lie down.
- Carry on in my next life!

81
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,390
Hey, Ku,

82
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,320
where was I?

83
00:03:39,670 --> 00:03:40,600
The meaning of life.

84
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:41,440
Yes, right.

85
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,120
I've figured it out.

86
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,320
The meaning of my life is to come here

87
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:46,790
to scold you!

88
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,230
Did you have nothing to do in Tianyu
that you came

89
00:03:50,230 --> 00:03:52,950
to the Dafeng to find the meaning of life?

90
00:03:52,950 --> 00:03:54,760
Go back to find it in Tianyu.

91
00:03:54,950 --> 00:03:56,470
You asked me about the meaning of life.

92
00:03:56,630 --> 00:03:57,770
I want to ask you something.

93
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,670
What's the meaning of work?

94
00:04:00,630 --> 00:04:02,510
What's the meaning of eating?

95
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,320
What's the meaning of love?

96
00:04:08,230 --> 00:04:09,280
Think it over.

97
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,360
I'm dying again.

98
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:13,440
Nurse!

99
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,360
Nurse...!

100
00:04:22,710 --> 00:04:24,000
- Mr. Yang,
- Don't go.

101
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,800
- stay put.
- Carry on in my next life.

103
00:04:30,830 --> 00:04:32,150
have you figured it out?

104
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,070
What's the meaning of love?

105
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,240
Answer me.

106
00:04:36,270 --> 00:04:38,150
Wait. Have you never been in love?

107
00:04:38,630 --> 00:04:39,560
Oh, Ku,

108
00:04:39,630 --> 00:04:41,630
you really are a poor boy!

109
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,880

110
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,030
Du'e.

111
00:04:45,030 --> 00:04:46,360

112
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,000
Also no?

113
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,800
I feel bad for you two.

114
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,760
You have a nice mustache.

115
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,120
Girls don't like you?

116
00:04:55,270 --> 00:04:57,710
You don't even know love.

117
00:04:57,830 --> 00:05:00,000
Forget about life!

118
00:05:00,150 --> 00:05:01,630
You know nothing!

119
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,320
I'm dying again.

120
00:05:05,710 --> 00:05:07,070
We'll continue in my next life.

don't use your rules

People's lives are unique and wonderful.

deal with our own sorrow and regrets.

186

Just take things as they come.

Whether we smile or cry,

188
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,150
we'll have to face it.

189
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,830

lost.

227
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:17,840
We won.

228
00:10:18,310 --> 00:10:19,630
We won, Father!

229
00:10:19,790 --> 00:10:20,630
We won!

230
00:10:21,270 --> 00:10:22,790
Top Poet Xu's skills are divine.

Ningyan won!

236
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,000
I knew it. That's my nephew,

237
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,000
right?

238
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,000

00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,480
200 liang of silver a year,

Pingzhi!

241
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,000
Ningyan is an extraordinary talent.

242
00:10:52,030 --> 00:10:53,760
My nephew is the best!

243
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:59,880
When can I be as great as him?

244
00:11:05,630 --> 00:11:07,030
Calm down.

245
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:09,600
My nephew is brilliant.

246
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,960
Wei Yuan has gained another warrior.

247
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,360
He was always mediocre,

248
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:16,630
but he made it this time.

249
00:11:17,430 --> 00:11:20,120
I knew Ningyan was able to win.

250
00:11:21,430 --> 00:11:22,630
Still, he's slightly

251
00:11:23,030 --> 00:11:24,240
inferior to you.

252
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:25,840
Simu.

253
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:26,960
Xinnian.

254
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:30,760
Xu Qi'an

255
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,150
defeated Tianyu with a saber alone.

256
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,000
Did he win with Supervisor's help in secret?

257
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,760
This duel wasn't about cultivation.

258
00:11:42,030 --> 00:11:43,360
An ordinary man's bravery

259
00:11:43,630 --> 00:11:45,310
could take the enemy unawares.

260
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:46,910
Am I right?

261
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,200
Supervisor, you made the right choice.

262
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:16,480
Xu Qi'an!

263
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:17,360
Lin'an...

264
00:12:45,550 --> 00:12:47,550
Help him, Loong!

265
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:37,960
You're awake.

266
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:46,600
Dean Zhao,

267
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:48,910
why am I...

268
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:50,440
Here?

269
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,760
The knife in your hand

270
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,360
is most cherished by the Academy.

271
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,000
You've been holding it.

272
00:13:58,360 --> 00:13:59,910
No one could draw it out.

273
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,360
That's why you were

274
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,510
brought back here.

275
00:14:13,790 --> 00:14:15,120
Thank you, Dean.

276
00:14:28,820 --> 00:14:30,860
(Second Sage's Hall)

277
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,310
Did it belong to the Second Sage?

278
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,200
That's right.

279
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,550
Ever since he passed away,

280
00:14:40,790 --> 00:14:42,030
his knife

281
00:14:42,310 --> 00:14:44,790
has been quiet for over 1,000 years.

282
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,510
Is Mr. Xu awake?

283
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,270
His Majesty sent me to check on him.

284
00:14:56,510 --> 00:14:58,000
Greetings, Dean Zhao.

285
00:15:01,670 --> 00:15:02,630
Mr. Xu,

286
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,270
it's great to see you awake.

287
00:15:05,030 --> 00:15:06,840
His Majesty needs to ask you something.

288
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:11,910
Zhao Shou?

289
00:15:12,390 --> 00:15:13,360
Your Majesty,

290
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,120
Dean Zhao said

291
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,510
if the Yunlu Academy could

292
00:15:17,510 --> 00:15:19,080
resist Tianyu 400 years ago,

293
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,760
so can it now.

294
00:15:23,510 --> 00:15:25,790
Did he activate the Second Sage's Knife?

295
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,960
He said the masters joined hands

296
00:15:28,430 --> 00:15:30,310
and activated it together.

297
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,670
As for the Loong,

298
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,270
the activated knife

299
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,480
brought back the Second Sage's energy,

300
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:36,720
so...

301
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,600
What did Supervisor say?

302
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:44,630
Your Majesty,

303
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:45,760
Supervisor

304
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,910
agreed with their sayings.

305
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,120
What about Xu Qi'an?

306
00:15:54,670 --> 00:15:56,150
Did he say anything?

307
00:15:56,150 --> 00:15:57,240
Mr. Xu said,

308
00:15:57,550 --> 00:15:59,270
"I wouldn't dare take credit

309
00:15:59,630 --> 00:16:01,630
for breaking the Dharma.

310
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,080
I'd appreciate it

311
00:16:03,790 --> 00:16:05,030
if His Majesty

312
00:16:05,430 --> 00:16:07,310
could grant me a reward."

313
00:16:12,630 --> 00:16:14,480
I didn't know you helped me.

314
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,270
Tianyu was provoking our state.

315
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,550
The Academy couldn't sit and do nothing.

316
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:23,720
While the energy lingers,

317
00:16:24,270 --> 00:16:27,510
I'm going to meditate
at the Second Sage's Hall.

318
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:28,880
Mr. Xu,

319
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,360
make yourself at home.

320
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:31,960
Dean,

321
00:16:32,390 --> 00:16:34,480
I have one more question.

322
00:16:36,510 --> 00:16:38,310
The Dafeng holds a galaxy of talents.

323
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,240
Wouldn't it be better if the Academy
and the Bureau fought together?

324
00:16:43,550 --> 00:16:45,720
Why choose me of all people?

325
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,720
There are many talents,

326
00:16:50,790 --> 00:16:52,270
but as for those

327
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,270
who're close to the two sides,

328
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,030
other than you,

329
00:16:58,030 --> 00:16:59,870
is there anyone else?

330
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,240
Thanks for your appreciation.

331
00:17:15,350 --> 00:17:16,680
How long did I sleep?

332
00:17:17,140 --> 00:17:20,420
(Second Sage's Hall)

333
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,760
I see that you chose him.

334
00:17:28,590 --> 00:17:31,030
So did the Second Sage, right?

335
00:17:37,510 --> 00:17:39,270
He could awaken the knife

336
00:17:39,510 --> 00:17:41,400
and command the Power of All.

337
00:17:41,510 --> 00:17:44,640
Clearly, he owns the great fortune of humans.

338
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,000
No one would be better than him.

339
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,640
I chose him not for his great fortune.

340
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,160
The real reason that Xu Qi'an won

341
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,400
was because of his personality.

342
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,200
He's extraordinarily persistent,

343
00:17:59,590 --> 00:18:02,240
but he's also an ordinary man.

344
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,000
This mission is vital.

345
00:18:06,590 --> 00:18:08,960
However talented he is,

346
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,270
he remains inexperienced.

347
00:18:11,870 --> 00:18:15,510
He doesn't know what lies ahead of him.

348
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:16,960
Can he take

349
00:18:17,510 --> 00:18:19,510
this huge responsibility?

350
00:18:20,290 --> 00:18:21,590
One lapse can

351
00:18:21,740 --> 00:18:23,100
plunge the Yunlu Academy

352
00:18:23,100 --> 00:18:24,780
and even the world

353
00:18:24,780 --> 00:18:27,700
into dire straits.

354
00:18:28,420 --> 00:18:29,580
When a storm comes,

355
00:18:29,580 --> 00:18:31,180
heroes will rise from chaos.

356
00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:33,060
That's the universal law.

357
00:18:37,220 --> 00:18:38,860
Now that he's emerged,

358
00:18:39,260 --> 00:18:41,980
I believe that day will come soon.

359
00:18:42,220 --> 00:18:45,140
What we old geezers can do

360
00:18:45,140 --> 00:18:47,460
is be his shield for now.

361
00:18:48,780 --> 00:18:52,180
I'm concerned about his great fortune.

362
00:18:52,900 --> 00:18:53,900
After all,

363
00:18:54,340 --> 00:18:57,340
it belongs to the Dafeng royalty.

364
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:58,340
Now,

365
00:18:58,340 --> 00:19:00,060
he's in the capital

366
00:19:00,060 --> 00:19:02,300
and right under His Majesty's nose.

367
00:19:02,620 --> 00:19:04,940
Are you sure he won't find out?

368
00:19:06,300 --> 00:19:08,260
As you said,

369
00:19:08,940 --> 00:19:11,940
we old geezers will be his shield.

370
00:19:13,140 --> 00:19:15,580
If Yuanjing means to touch him,

371
00:19:18,020 --> 00:19:19,980
he'll have to think it through.

372
00:19:27,700 --> 00:19:28,700
Master said

373
00:19:28,820 --> 00:19:30,050
you were thinking too much.

374
00:19:31,340 --> 00:19:34,340
If Xu Qi'an carried royalty's fortune,

375
00:19:34,820 --> 00:19:36,580
she'd know instantly

376
00:19:37,020 --> 00:19:38,420
and tell you about it.

377
00:19:39,980 --> 00:19:41,940
What if someone

378
00:19:42,540 --> 00:19:44,180
helped him conceal it?

379
00:19:46,300 --> 00:19:47,460
Conceal fortune?

380
00:19:49,340 --> 00:19:50,420
As far as I know,

381
00:19:51,420 --> 00:19:53,140
those who can achieve that

382
00:19:53,780 --> 00:19:55,420
are less than three in the Dafeng.

383
00:19:55,900 --> 00:19:56,780
None of them

384
00:19:56,780 --> 00:19:58,340
would dare defy you, Your Majesty.

385
00:19:59,060 --> 00:20:00,620
You're supported by everyone.

386
00:20:00,740 --> 00:20:01,900
You were chosen by heaven.

387
00:20:02,380 --> 00:20:03,500
Why not

388
00:20:04,140 --> 00:20:05,380
stop troubling yourself,

389
00:20:05,860 --> 00:20:07,100
Your Majesty?

390
00:20:09,180 --> 00:20:11,420
Maybe I was thinking too much.

391
00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:13,340
Alright.

392
00:20:14,100 --> 00:20:15,460
Enough of that.

393
00:20:18,940 --> 00:20:20,740
The State Preceptor is watching

394
00:20:21,060 --> 00:20:23,100
the Dafeng for me

395
00:20:23,220 --> 00:20:24,460
even in closed cultivation.

396
00:20:25,340 --> 00:20:26,900
I'm pleased and grateful.

397
00:20:27,940 --> 00:20:29,020
I'll relay your gratitude

398
00:20:30,220 --> 00:20:31,460
to my master.

399
00:20:44,580 --> 00:20:46,780
Am I thinking too much,

400
00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:49,420
or is the State Preceptor

401
00:20:49,660 --> 00:20:51,740
lying to me as well?

402
00:20:52,580 --> 00:20:53,420
Your Majesty,

403
00:20:53,940 --> 00:20:55,380
you've had a long day.

404
00:20:55,740 --> 00:20:56,940
Don't exhaust yourself.

405
00:20:57,660 --> 00:20:59,260
Why not take a break?

406
00:21:00,060 --> 00:21:03,340
What reward did Xu Qi'an want?

407
00:21:03,460 --> 00:21:04,500
He wanted

408
00:21:04,660 --> 00:21:06,100
the rank of viscount.

409
00:21:12,020 --> 00:21:15,300
Although he won the duel,

410
00:21:15,460 --> 00:21:18,140
he wouldn't have had this chance

411
00:21:18,330 --> 00:21:19,780
without your appreciation.

412
00:21:19,980 --> 00:21:22,740
Rewarding him with some valuables

413
00:21:22,940 --> 00:21:24,260
is already

414
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:26,620
too great an honor to him.

415
00:21:26,740 --> 00:21:28,180
The rank of nobility

416
00:21:28,460 --> 00:21:30,620
can't be granted easily.

417
00:21:31,100 --> 00:21:32,220
He did

418
00:21:32,740 --> 00:21:34,300
overreach himself.

419
00:21:34,980 --> 00:21:35,860
Grant his wish.

420
00:21:38,140 --> 00:21:38,980
Yes.

421
00:21:39,740 --> 00:21:40,580
Summon

422
00:21:41,060 --> 00:21:43,060
the tri-ministries to the Palace.

423
00:21:43,740 --> 00:21:44,700
Tell them

424
00:21:44,980 --> 00:21:46,780
I've selected

425
00:21:46,780 --> 00:21:48,140
the Lead Investigator

426
00:21:48,980 --> 00:21:50,500
of the bloodshed.

427
00:21:51,100 --> 00:21:51,940
Yes.

428
00:22:03,020 --> 00:22:05,100
(Even if I'm paranoid,)

429
00:22:05,660 --> 00:22:07,180
(I can't keep you alive,)

430
00:22:07,540 --> 00:22:09,140
(Xu Qi'an.)

431
00:22:13,620 --> 00:22:14,460
Lord Wei,

432
00:22:14,660 --> 00:22:15,660
Dean Zhao said

433
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:17,020
I was chosen

434
00:22:17,020 --> 00:22:17,860
because

435
00:22:17,860 --> 00:22:21,420
I was the only one close to the Yunlu Academy

436
00:22:21,420 --> 00:22:22,460
and the Bureau.

437
00:22:22,580 --> 00:22:23,980
There was no one else.

438
00:22:26,300 --> 00:22:28,100
What do you think?

439
00:22:30,060 --> 00:22:31,260
If you ask me,

440
00:22:31,740 --> 00:22:32,580
Supervisor was sure

441
00:22:32,580 --> 00:22:34,260
that we'd win the duel.

442
00:22:34,900 --> 00:22:36,380
Whoever was there to fight

443
00:22:36,380 --> 00:22:37,620
would gain merits.

444
00:22:37,820 --> 00:22:39,300
I serve under you.

445
00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:40,700
He recommended me

446
00:22:41,180 --> 00:22:43,980
to do you a favor as a friendly gesture.

447
00:22:48,340 --> 00:22:49,180
Serve tea.

448
00:23:01,940 --> 00:23:04,980
(Shaoyin Palace)

449
00:23:13,260 --> 00:23:14,140
How did it go?

450
00:23:14,980 --> 00:23:16,740
Your Highness, your mother said your action

451
00:23:16,740 --> 00:23:18,140
of breaking into the Academy

452
00:23:18,140 --> 00:23:19,650
provoked much discussion in the Palace.

453
00:23:20,220 --> 00:23:22,140
To prevent more rumors, you're grounded.

454
00:23:22,940 --> 00:23:23,980
No negotiation.

455
00:23:23,980 --> 00:23:25,380
Not even a walk outside?

456
00:23:25,700 --> 00:23:28,140
Everyone knows that's not what you'd do.

457
00:23:28,580 --> 00:23:30,060
You want to see Mr. Xu.

458
00:23:30,060 --> 00:23:30,900
I...

459
00:23:32,300 --> 00:23:33,300
Yes, so what?

460
00:23:33,780 --> 00:23:35,860
My guest adviser won honor for the state,

461
00:23:36,380 --> 00:23:37,980
but I'm not sure if he's still alive.

462
00:23:38,940 --> 00:23:40,660
Can't I be worried?

463
00:23:47,940 --> 00:23:48,780
Come.

464
00:23:52,260 --> 00:23:54,460
The guards are watching me closely.

465
00:23:55,020 --> 00:23:56,420
I can't get out,

466
00:23:56,580 --> 00:23:57,500
but you're free.

467
00:23:59,940 --> 00:24:00,980
From now on,

468
00:24:01,300 --> 00:24:02,340
you're Princess Lin'an

469
00:24:02,820 --> 00:24:04,420
while I'm Gang.

470
00:24:04,740 --> 00:24:07,020
Let's swap our clothes
and disguise ourselves.

471
00:24:07,220 --> 00:24:09,460
When the guards change shifts,

472
00:24:09,460 --> 00:24:10,820
I can sneak out from the back door.

473
00:24:10,980 --> 00:24:12,420
No, Your Highness.

474
00:24:12,620 --> 00:24:14,180
It's too risky.

475
00:24:14,460 --> 00:24:15,980
I'll only take a quick peek from afar.

476
00:24:16,100 --> 00:24:17,660
Just one peek!

477
00:24:17,780 --> 00:24:19,140
Once I'm sure he's fine,

478
00:24:19,140 --> 00:24:20,010
I'll come back.

479
00:24:20,010 --> 00:24:20,980
No one will find out.

480
00:24:20,980 --> 00:24:22,660
But if someone finds out

481
00:24:22,660 --> 00:24:24,020
and reports it to your mother,

482
00:24:24,980 --> 00:24:26,860
I'll be severely punished.

483
00:24:27,140 --> 00:24:28,740
You say no to everything.

484
00:24:29,020 --> 00:24:30,180
What else can I do?

485
00:24:36,860 --> 00:24:38,540
Am I nice to you?

486
00:24:40,180 --> 00:24:41,020
Yes...

487
00:24:41,030 --> 00:24:41,910
No...

488
00:24:44,780 --> 00:24:46,380
- Yes!
- Good.

489
00:24:46,820 --> 00:24:48,340
Play me for a few days.

490
00:24:48,340 --> 00:24:49,820
No, just half a day.

491
00:24:50,300 --> 00:24:51,380
A few hours are enough.

492
00:24:51,380 --> 00:24:52,580
I'll be quick.

493
00:24:55,460 --> 00:24:56,780
Your Highness! Your Highness!

494
00:24:57,580 --> 00:24:58,940
News came in from the outside.

495
00:24:58,940 --> 00:25:00,420
Mr. Xu has woken up!

496
00:25:01,620 --> 00:25:02,460
Really?

497
00:25:06,030 --> 00:25:07,100
A fine Tianyu saber

498
00:25:07,770 --> 00:25:09,260
made by Zhu Maogong.

499
00:25:09,620 --> 00:25:11,660
Worth at least 800 liang.

500
00:25:11,660 --> 00:25:13,420
(Wang Simu)

501
00:25:13,620 --> 00:25:16,180
From the new Minister of Rites.

502
00:25:23,460 --> 00:25:25,380
An emerald hairpin.

503
00:25:25,660 --> 00:25:27,100
Given its quality,

504
00:25:27,700 --> 00:25:28,540
it's only worth...

505
00:25:28,980 --> 00:25:30,660
about 200 liang.

506
00:25:30,820 --> 00:25:33,540
But there are 12 of them,

507
00:25:34,180 --> 00:25:35,700
worth at least 2,000 liang.

508
00:25:38,620 --> 00:25:39,540
Let me see.

509
00:25:41,220 --> 00:25:43,940
From the Minister of War's wife.

510
00:25:47,300 --> 00:25:48,820
This drawing...

511
00:25:50,820 --> 00:25:52,060
is a treasure.

512
00:25:52,540 --> 00:25:56,580
It should be a real masterpiece
by the late artist Gu Yunzhi,

513
00:25:56,580 --> 00:25:58,300
the top of the Four Dafeng Artists.

514
00:25:58,620 --> 00:26:00,500
It must be priceless.

515
00:26:02,780 --> 00:26:04,740
Easy. Simu gave it to me.

516
00:26:04,900 --> 00:26:06,260
It's different from those gifts.

517
00:26:08,820 --> 00:26:10,100
Good.

518
00:26:10,620 --> 00:26:11,460
Very good.

519
00:26:11,780 --> 00:26:13,060
Very well!

520
00:26:13,540 --> 00:26:14,940
Excellent.

521
00:26:16,260 --> 00:26:18,340
While I was away in the last few days,

522
00:26:18,660 --> 00:26:20,100
our family

523
00:26:20,220 --> 00:26:21,620
underwent great changes.

524
00:26:22,820 --> 00:26:24,900
Who gave you that screen?

525
00:26:25,260 --> 00:26:28,020
The Minister of Works had it made earlier.

526
00:26:29,740 --> 00:26:31,820
Ever since I broke the Dharma,

527
00:26:32,020 --> 00:26:34,820
you all have more or less benefited from it.

528
00:26:34,940 --> 00:26:35,820
That's true.

529
00:26:35,980 --> 00:26:37,620
Thanks to you, Ningyan,

530
00:26:37,820 --> 00:26:40,180
the Xu Clan has gained great honor.

531
00:26:40,180 --> 00:26:42,460
You're our hero!

532
00:26:43,100 --> 00:26:45,020
Father, not just our hero.

533
00:26:45,020 --> 00:26:46,940
He's also the hero of the Dafeng.

534
00:26:46,940 --> 00:26:47,940
- Right.
- Of course.

535
00:26:48,140 --> 00:26:49,820
Ningyan has made me proud, too.

536
00:26:49,980 --> 00:26:51,300
I could sit with others.

537
00:26:51,540 --> 00:26:52,580
Great job, Ningyan.

538
00:26:52,940 --> 00:26:55,180
All of you took it for granted

539
00:26:55,220 --> 00:26:56,700
that you deserved those gifts

540
00:26:56,700 --> 00:26:59,220
and completely forgot about your "hero".

541
00:26:59,220 --> 00:27:00,500
When I woke up,

542
00:27:00,500 --> 00:27:01,700
none of you was there.

543
00:27:05,980 --> 00:27:06,820
Lingyue,

544
00:27:07,580 --> 00:27:09,420
is the chicken stew still on the stove?

545
00:27:09,980 --> 00:27:12,180
Yes, to welcome Ningyan back home.

546
00:27:12,780 --> 00:27:13,740
Hold on!

547
00:27:19,020 --> 00:27:20,340
Aunt and Lingyue

548
00:27:20,500 --> 00:27:21,460
couldn't visit

549
00:27:21,740 --> 00:27:22,900
a man alone.

550
00:27:23,380 --> 00:27:24,660
I forgive you two.

551
00:27:29,740 --> 00:27:31,620
As for you guys...

552
00:27:35,890 --> 00:27:36,740
Uncle,

553
00:27:36,740 --> 00:27:38,340
I'm your nephew by blood!

554
00:27:38,540 --> 00:27:39,780
And you, Cijiu.

555
00:27:39,860 --> 00:27:41,860
You study at the Yunlu Academy.

556
00:27:41,860 --> 00:27:43,460
I was there, unconscious, for days.

557
00:27:43,460 --> 00:27:45,100
How could you leave me there alone?

558
00:27:45,100 --> 00:27:46,500
Are we still family?

559
00:27:47,700 --> 00:27:48,540
Ningyan,

560
00:27:48,820 --> 00:27:50,780
you were wrong about us.

561
00:27:51,780 --> 00:27:53,140
After you fainted, we were worried.

562
00:27:53,140 --> 00:27:54,780
We followed Dean Zhao to the Academy

563
00:27:54,980 --> 00:27:55,820
to look after you,

564
00:27:55,820 --> 00:27:57,780
but someone else beat us to it.

565
00:28:00,340 --> 00:28:01,780
When we arrived,

566
00:28:01,980 --> 00:28:03,220
Princess Lin'an

567
00:28:03,300 --> 00:28:04,220
was right behind us.

568
00:28:04,220 --> 00:28:05,620
Dean Zhao, Dean Zhao,

569
00:28:05,740 --> 00:28:06,900
you brought him back,

570
00:28:07,060 --> 00:28:08,820
so you could save his life, right?

571
00:28:09,060 --> 00:28:10,420
Don't worry, Your Highness.

572
00:28:10,420 --> 00:28:11,820
Mr. Xu fainted

573
00:28:11,940 --> 00:28:13,180
simply because

574
00:28:13,380 --> 00:28:14,540
he exhausted his energy.

575
00:28:14,540 --> 00:28:15,780
He'll be fine

576
00:28:15,940 --> 00:28:17,140
after a few days of rest.

577
00:28:18,260 --> 00:28:19,500
Please follow me.

578
00:28:20,140 --> 00:28:20,980
After you.

579
00:28:22,620 --> 00:28:23,900
She couldn't stop worrying

580
00:28:24,620 --> 00:28:27,220
until she heard you'd be fine.

581
00:28:27,460 --> 00:28:29,180
Then we went to check on you.

582
00:28:48,420 --> 00:28:49,260
Allow me.

583
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,370
♪Thousands of words♪

584
00:29:04,370 --> 00:29:06,800

587
00:29:13,620 --> 00:29:14,460
Allow me.

589
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,060

591
00:29:22,770 --> 00:29:24,140
It is a bit hot.

592
00:29:31,100 --> 00:29:31,940
Allow me.

593
00:29:32,820 --> 00:29:33,660
Sure.

594
00:29:35,660 --> 00:29:36,500
It was like that.

595
00:29:36,940 --> 00:29:38,220
We meant to take care of you,

596
00:29:38,700 --> 00:29:39,980
but with Princess Lin'an there,

597
00:29:40,140 --> 00:29:41,620
there was nothing we could do.

598
00:29:42,340 --> 00:29:43,380
Later,

599
00:29:43,580 --> 00:29:45,700
she sent us away, saying she could

600
00:29:45,700 --> 00:29:46,520
look after you alone.

601
00:29:51,620 --> 00:29:52,620
So,

602
00:29:53,460 --> 00:29:54,460
Lin'an was there.

603
00:29:55,140 --> 00:29:56,780
How come I didn't see her?

604
00:29:57,060 --> 00:29:59,100
She looked after you for two days and nights,

605
00:29:59,180 --> 00:30:00,100
but that was

606
00:30:00,780 --> 00:30:01,660
improper after all.

607
00:30:01,660 --> 00:30:02,540
That's right.

608
00:30:13,620 --> 00:30:14,460
Get out.

609
00:30:34,580 --> 00:30:35,940
- Mother...
- Lin'an!

610
00:30:35,940 --> 00:30:36,900
Ouch!

611
00:30:38,780 --> 00:30:39,620
Lin'an,

612
00:30:40,420 --> 00:30:41,580
you're a princess,

613
00:30:41,580 --> 00:30:42,820
an unmarried princess.

614
00:30:42,940 --> 00:30:45,060
Here you're looking after a single man,

615
00:30:45,060 --> 00:30:45,900
and you...

616
00:30:46,580 --> 00:30:48,100
were lying next to him.

617
00:30:49,060 --> 00:30:50,260
That was indecent.

618
00:30:50,260 --> 00:30:51,940
If words get out, who will marry you?

619
00:30:52,220 --> 00:30:53,060
Mother,

620
00:30:53,540 --> 00:30:54,980
he's my guest adviser

621
00:30:55,220 --> 00:30:56,220
and a national hero.

622
00:30:56,220 --> 00:30:57,140
As a princess,

623
00:30:57,420 --> 00:30:58,300
I should wait for him

624
00:30:58,580 --> 00:31:00,580
to wake up and make sure he's fine

625
00:31:00,820 --> 00:31:02,300
for our relationship and his merits.

626
00:31:02,300 --> 00:31:03,140
Mother,

627
00:31:04,540 --> 00:31:05,380
Lin'an,

628
00:31:05,860 --> 00:31:07,180
I'll have others stay with him.

629
00:31:07,300 --> 00:31:08,220
Don't worry.

630
00:31:08,780 --> 00:31:10,580
But you shouldn't be here.

631
00:31:11,340 --> 00:31:12,180
Mother,

632
00:31:12,260 --> 00:31:13,340
I'll take her back.

633
00:31:17,820 --> 00:31:18,700
How is he?

634
00:31:22,060 --> 00:31:23,260
Dean Zhao said

635
00:31:23,740 --> 00:31:24,580
he'd be fine.

636
00:31:45,140 --> 00:31:46,220
I see.

637
00:31:46,860 --> 00:31:49,780
I heard she was brought back and rounded.

638
00:31:50,020 --> 00:31:51,780
I wonder how she's doing.

639
00:31:52,020 --> 00:31:52,860
Ningyan,

640
00:31:52,980 --> 00:31:55,020
that was all because of you!

641
00:32:00,100 --> 00:32:01,060
(Shaoyin Palace)

642
00:32:01,060 --> 00:32:02,740
- Really?
- Absolutely.

643
00:32:02,900 --> 00:32:05,260
Our men said Mr. Xu was in fine fig.

644
00:32:05,340 --> 00:32:06,620
He went to the Guardian Yamen

645
00:32:06,620 --> 00:32:07,780
and then headed home.

646
00:32:08,940 --> 00:32:09,780
And

647
00:32:09,780 --> 00:32:11,100
there's better news.

648
00:32:11,740 --> 00:32:12,860
Better news?

649
00:32:13,060 --> 00:32:14,740
On my way back just now,

650
00:32:14,740 --> 00:32:16,100
I saw Eunuch Yang

651
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:17,540
rushing to the Hanlin Academy.

652
00:32:17,700 --> 00:32:18,820
Turns out, he went there

653
00:32:18,820 --> 00:32:21,580
to have them draft an edict to reward Mr. Xu.

654
00:32:21,900 --> 00:32:22,740
It's

655
00:32:22,740 --> 00:32:23,940
a big reward!

656
00:32:31,820 --> 00:32:33,740
What is it? Say it!

657
00:32:35,100 --> 00:32:36,180
You may take a guess.

658
00:32:37,500 --> 00:32:39,140
Don't leave me hanging.

659
00:32:40,180 --> 00:32:42,620
I heard he asked for it himself,

660
00:32:43,180 --> 00:32:44,940
the rank of viscount.

661
00:32:56,740 --> 00:32:58,580
The rank of viscount?

662
00:32:58,820 --> 00:32:59,660
Yes.

663
00:32:59,780 --> 00:33:02,140
His Majesty has granted it.

664
00:33:06,460 --> 00:33:07,300
Good choice.

665
00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:09,540
Smart choice.

666
00:33:10,740 --> 00:33:13,380
I'm not blabbering.

667
00:33:13,740 --> 00:33:14,780
Actually,

668
00:33:15,140 --> 00:33:17,580
I asked for this rank for you, Cijiu.

669
00:33:17,820 --> 00:33:18,660
For me?

670
00:33:20,580 --> 00:33:21,700
At first,

671
00:33:21,820 --> 00:33:24,020
I also didn't understand

672
00:33:24,020 --> 00:33:25,980
until Princess Lin'an enlightened me.

673
00:33:25,980 --> 00:33:27,860
If our family wants to keep a foothold,

674
00:33:28,180 --> 00:33:31,980
my relationship with the two princesses

675
00:33:32,220 --> 00:33:33,620
is not enough.

676
00:33:33,940 --> 00:33:35,380
The rank of viscount

677
00:33:35,380 --> 00:33:36,700
isn't about power.

678
00:33:37,180 --> 00:33:38,540
Do you know what it's about?

679
00:33:38,860 --> 00:33:39,860
It's about...

680
00:33:41,020 --> 00:33:42,540
honor and social status.

681
00:33:42,540 --> 00:33:43,660
Wrong.

682
00:33:43,860 --> 00:33:45,460
You silly boy.

683
00:33:46,020 --> 00:33:48,060
With that rank, you and Simu

684
00:33:48,060 --> 00:33:50,500
will be matched in terms of status.

685
00:33:52,220 --> 00:33:53,060
Ningyan...

686
00:33:53,460 --> 00:33:55,220
That's the best I can do for you.

687
00:33:55,940 --> 00:33:56,900
But you guys

688
00:33:57,180 --> 00:33:58,900
are a disappointment,

689
00:33:59,300 --> 00:34:01,340
taking so many gifts from others.

690
00:34:05,780 --> 00:34:06,660
Give me that.

691
00:34:09,380 --> 00:34:10,460
The saber.

692
00:34:14,180 --> 00:34:15,420
You were happy,

693
00:34:15,420 --> 00:34:17,820
but you forgot I'm a Guardian.

694
00:34:18,140 --> 00:34:20,180
These gifts are too expensive.

695
00:34:20,380 --> 00:34:21,740
What should I tell Lord Wei?

696
00:34:21,740 --> 00:34:23,500
Did you consider I'd be impeached?

697
00:34:23,820 --> 00:34:25,820
Now, I have to go to the Haoqi Tower

698
00:34:25,820 --> 00:34:27,020
to register all of them.

699
00:34:28,140 --> 00:34:29,380
Forget about the rank

700
00:34:29,540 --> 00:34:30,700
or the impeachment.

701
00:34:31,380 --> 00:34:32,460
It doesn't matter.

702
00:34:33,940 --> 00:34:35,220
Father embarrassed

703
00:34:35,540 --> 00:34:37,780
our entire family at the Star Tower.

704
00:34:38,580 --> 00:34:39,780
What's that supposed to mean?

705
00:34:39,780 --> 00:34:42,460
How did I embarrass our family?

706
00:34:42,940 --> 00:34:45,500
Other than greeting Lord Wei briefly,

707
00:34:45,500 --> 00:34:47,380
I was watching you battling the Dharma.

708
00:34:47,380 --> 00:34:48,980
What did I do wrong?

709
00:34:49,140 --> 00:34:50,940
Do you know who sat next to you?

710
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:51,900
Who was it?

711
00:34:51,900 --> 00:34:52,980
I saw an old man.

712
00:34:53,260 --> 00:34:54,260
An old man?

713
00:34:54,780 --> 00:34:55,980
That was Simu's father,

714
00:34:55,980 --> 00:34:57,540
Prime Minister Wang Zhenwen!

715
00:34:59,580 --> 00:35:00,580
You know what?

716
00:35:01,020 --> 00:35:02,620
Prime Minister Wang is

717
00:35:02,900 --> 00:35:05,420
my future in-law.

718
00:35:08,460 --> 00:35:09,300
Are you alright?

719
00:35:09,340 --> 00:35:11,220
Slow down. Don't choke on it.

720
00:35:21,140 --> 00:35:22,300
Can you hear

721
00:35:22,660 --> 00:35:23,780
what they're saying?

722
00:35:24,780 --> 00:35:26,940
Sounds like a girl took good care

723
00:35:26,940 --> 00:35:28,420
of Ningyan at the Academy.

724
00:35:28,860 --> 00:35:29,700
A girl?

725
00:35:32,540 --> 00:35:36,060
The one who brought him herbs
before the duel?

726
00:35:40,020 --> 00:35:41,220
What a shame.

727
00:35:42,020 --> 00:35:43,340
We missed her.

728
00:35:44,140 --> 00:35:46,780
She must be from a prominent family, too.

729
00:35:47,060 --> 00:35:48,500
Otherwise, she couldn't have

730
00:35:48,500 --> 00:35:50,220
been so generous.

731
00:35:50,340 --> 00:35:52,180
You're so sharp, Mother.

732
00:35:52,700 --> 00:35:53,940
Her family is indeed prominent.

733
00:35:54,460 --> 00:35:55,620
What does her father do?

734
00:35:56,140 --> 00:35:57,180
Is he also an official?

735
00:35:58,140 --> 00:35:58,980
Yes.

736
00:35:59,300 --> 00:36:01,140
His rank must also

737
00:36:01,540 --> 00:36:02,380
be high.

738
00:36:03,100 --> 00:36:03,940
Quite high.

739
00:36:06,100 --> 00:36:08,100
How high is quite high?

740
00:36:09,660 --> 00:36:10,860
Let me put it this way.

741
00:36:11,340 --> 00:36:12,540
Father is an Imperial Guard

742
00:36:12,540 --> 00:36:13,700
of the 7th Rank.

743
00:36:13,700 --> 00:36:14,660
You know that, right?

744
00:36:15,060 --> 00:36:16,660
Of course.

745
00:36:16,980 --> 00:36:19,580
Her father is above him

746
00:36:20,340 --> 00:36:21,660
by seven ranks.

747
00:36:22,580 --> 00:36:24,020
By seven ranks?

748
00:36:27,100 --> 00:36:28,900
By seven ranks?

749
00:36:30,940 --> 00:36:32,020
By seven ranks!

750
00:36:36,860 --> 00:36:38,860
A princess!

751
00:36:47,860 --> 00:36:48,700
Well...

752
00:36:49,180 --> 00:36:51,900
I... I didn't know who he was.

753
00:36:52,060 --> 00:36:54,260
You can't punish me for ignorance.

754
00:36:54,980 --> 00:36:58,380
That old man didn't seem to be petty, anyway.

755
00:36:58,660 --> 00:36:59,500
How about this?

756
00:36:59,860 --> 00:37:01,620
I'll explain it to him.

757
00:37:01,980 --> 00:37:02,820
No, Father.

758
00:37:03,100 --> 00:37:04,060
You cannot go.

759
00:37:04,700 --> 00:37:07,180
You'll be helping me if you don't do worse.

760
00:37:07,340 --> 00:37:08,980
I won't do worse!

761
00:37:08,980 --> 00:37:11,180
Maybe we'll have a good chat.

762
00:37:11,180 --> 00:37:12,540
No discord, no concord.

763
00:37:12,540 --> 00:37:13,540
Do you know what you are?

764
00:37:13,860 --> 00:37:14,940
You're old and ignorant.

765
00:37:14,940 --> 00:37:16,580
Old and ignorant, you say?

766
00:37:17,020 --> 00:37:19,020
Is that how you should talk to your father?

767
00:37:19,980 --> 00:37:20,860
- Come here!
- No.

768
00:37:20,860 --> 00:37:22,500
We need to talk. Come here!

769
00:37:22,500 --> 00:37:23,370
- Wait...
- Let's go!

770
00:37:23,380 --> 00:37:24,940
How does it make a different?

771
00:37:40,020 --> 00:37:41,420
One Chop to Kill...

772
00:37:43,660 --> 00:37:44,500
All!

773
00:37:52,700 --> 00:37:53,540
Hey...

774
00:38:16,620 --> 00:38:18,300
I find you quite familiar.

775
00:38:19,220 --> 00:38:20,300
Can you tell me

776
00:38:21,900 --> 00:38:22,900
who I am?

777
00:38:33,170 --> 00:38:34,620
It's as it should be.

778
00:38:47,260 --> 00:38:48,140
What...

779
00:38:48,140 --> 00:38:48,980
what was...

780
00:38:49,140 --> 00:38:50,140
what was that?

781
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,260
It was what you went through.

782
00:38:52,860 --> 00:38:53,900
What I went through...

783
00:38:54,140 --> 00:38:55,100
What I went through...

784
00:38:55,380 --> 00:38:56,220
I seemed...

785
00:38:56,420 --> 00:38:57,260
I seemed...

786
00:38:58,740 --> 00:38:59,580
I seemed...

787
00:38:59,820 --> 00:39:01,340
to be divided into many parts.

788
00:39:02,540 --> 00:39:03,460
That girl...

789
00:39:04,820 --> 00:39:06,540
Who was that girl?

790
00:39:09,340 --> 00:39:10,300
The Sovereign.

791
00:39:11,340 --> 00:39:12,500
The Sovereign, right?

792
00:39:13,700 --> 00:39:15,380
She seemed so familiar.

793
00:39:15,580 --> 00:39:16,620
Can you tell me

794
00:39:17,260 --> 00:39:18,460
who I am?

795
00:39:20,140 --> 00:39:21,300
Not now.

796
00:39:23,180 --> 00:39:24,820
Your primordial spirit is incomplete.

797
00:39:25,780 --> 00:39:27,860
Once it's fully recovered,

798
00:39:28,660 --> 00:39:30,340
you'll remember everything.

799
00:39:31,780 --> 00:39:32,620
Recover...

800
00:39:33,220 --> 00:39:34,220
Incomplete...

801
00:39:43,140 --> 00:39:44,060
Where am I?

802
00:39:53,980 --> 00:39:54,980
Did I make myself clear?

803
00:39:55,020 --> 00:39:55,900
Yes.

804
00:39:57,260 --> 00:39:58,420
How did you know

805
00:39:58,620 --> 00:39:59,860
Shen Shu was inside me?

806
00:40:02,020 --> 00:40:02,940
Do you mean

807
00:40:03,180 --> 00:40:04,500
Shen Shu is

808
00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:06,420
living in a man called Xu Qi'an?

809
00:40:07,620 --> 00:40:09,140
But even so,

810
00:40:09,740 --> 00:40:11,900
why did you come to tell us?

811
00:40:13,460 --> 00:40:14,940
There's something else in him

812
00:40:14,940 --> 00:40:16,660
that belongs to me.

813
00:40:19,060 --> 00:40:19,940
A trade?

814
00:40:21,820 --> 00:40:22,660
Yes.

815
00:40:23,220 --> 00:40:25,060
Shen Shu is yours.

816
00:40:25,060 --> 00:40:26,260
Xu Qi'an

817
00:40:26,900 --> 00:40:27,940
is mine.

818
00:40:41,300 --> 00:40:42,140
Master,

819
00:40:42,700 --> 00:40:44,580
who was that man in black?

820
00:40:48,100 --> 00:40:50,020
He's formidable.

821
00:40:50,900 --> 00:40:52,300
What we know for sure is that

822
00:40:52,500 --> 00:40:54,300
he's a Hypnotizer of The Witcher's Sect.

823
00:40:54,700 --> 00:40:56,580
He told us about Shen Shu

824
00:40:56,740 --> 00:40:57,580
to

825
00:40:57,590 --> 00:40:59,220
force us to battle Supervisor

826
00:40:59,620 --> 00:41:01,460
so that he could take you away.

827
00:41:03,660 --> 00:41:04,740
We'll entrust

828
00:41:06,820 --> 00:41:07,940
Shen Shu to you.

829
00:41:09,220 --> 00:41:10,220
To me?

830
00:41:10,380 --> 00:41:11,740
He's well recovered,

831
00:41:12,620 --> 00:41:14,300
and he'll reappear soon.

832
00:41:14,810 --> 00:41:15,660
He'll

833
00:41:15,660 --> 00:41:17,060
fulfill his duty.

834
00:41:17,820 --> 00:41:18,980
That's all

835
00:41:19,660 --> 00:41:20,660
thanks to your fortune.

836
00:41:20,940 --> 00:41:22,220
It nourished him.

837
00:41:23,260 --> 00:41:24,820
So is that man in black

838
00:41:25,060 --> 00:41:26,860
coveting my fortune?

839
00:41:28,980 --> 00:41:31,100
Here's a friendly reminder.

840
00:41:31,340 --> 00:41:32,820
Before Shen Shu reemerges,

841
00:41:33,260 --> 00:41:35,020
do not set foot outside the Dafeng.
