00:09:46,870 --> 00:09:49,490
Who rigs their own nest
with so many traps?

192
00:09:49,630 --> 00:09:50,730
Afraid of thieves, huh?

193
00:09:50,750 --> 00:09:52,420
You are quite something now.

194
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:53,530
You have improved.

195
00:09:53,870 --> 00:09:55,220
You even withstood
the Softspirit Powder.

196
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,010
You underestimate me.

197
00:09:57,030 --> 00:09:57,610
Let me tell you.

198
00:09:57,630 --> 00:09:58,700
I have consumed more knockout powder

199
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,250
than the Great Restoration Pills
you have ever taken.

200
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:02,940
Mentor, what is there to boast about?

201
00:10:03,910 --> 00:10:04,770
A disciple of Jade Division

202
00:10:04,790 --> 00:10:05,890
may be killed but not dishonored.

203
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:07,980
A disciple?

204
00:10:08,030 --> 00:10:09,530
You failed to strive hard,

205
00:10:09,550 --> 00:10:11,580
so I have to take another disciple.

206
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,100
Mentor, why are you kneeling?

207
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,340
I did not mean to kneel.

208
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,490
But I am too dizzy.

209
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:17,850
Mentor.

210
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:23,770
Senior.

211
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,010
I have had no parents since childhood.

212
00:10:43,030 --> 00:10:44,130
I wandered everywhere.

213
00:10:44,150 --> 00:10:45,530
Half a year ago, the Mistveil Division

214
00:10:45,550 --> 00:10:46,770
took me in
as an outer-sect probationary disciple.

215
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:48,100
They said it was probationary;

216
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,250
in truth, it was mere menial labor.

217
00:10:49,750 --> 00:10:51,100
I endured all manner of humiliation.

218
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,370
I simply could not bear it any longer,

219
00:10:52,510 --> 00:10:54,100
so I fled down the mountain.

220
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,820
Fortunately, Mentor passed by.

221
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:04,700
Mentor...

222
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:05,220
No.

223
00:11:05,870 --> 00:11:06,650
Child.

224
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,180
The Mistveil Division
has always been high-handed.

225
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,180
She's such a fine piece of jade,

226
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,370
and they tortured her so cruelly.

227
00:11:15,550 --> 00:11:17,220
Look at her.

228
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:18,220
Look.

229
00:11:18,750 --> 00:11:19,370
Look at her.

230
00:11:19,750 --> 00:11:21,250
Look what they have done to her.

231
00:11:22,910 --> 00:11:25,060
If we don't intervene,

232
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,100
who will?

233
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,460
In that case,

234
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:37,820
listen to this question.

235
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:38,890
Question?

236
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,220
If you're at the Ascension Stage IX,

237
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:40,940
and one day, you discover

238
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,060
a Qi refiner at the Ascension Stage VI

239
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,300
harassing a female disciple
at the Refining Stage.

240
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:44,300
What should you do?

241
00:11:44,550 --> 00:11:45,610
Wait, I... He...

242
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,300
A: Go and kill him.

243
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:48,650
B: Throw a magic instrument from afar.

244
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:50,100
C: Pretend you saw nothing.

245
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,010
Which do you choose?

246
00:11:51,030 --> 00:11:51,890
No, wait!

247
00:11:51,910 --> 00:11:52,890
Three... two...

248
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:53,680
One.

249
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:54,300
I'll go and kill him!

250
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,060
Be off with you, then.

251
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:05,490
Senior.

252
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:11,610
Insolent!

253
00:12:11,630 --> 00:12:12,420
What are you doing?

254
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,250
This is no place for her.

255
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:15,650
What nonsense!

256
00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:17,650
Please, sit.

257
00:12:18,870 --> 00:12:19,770
At the last Sect Competition,

258
00:12:19,790 --> 00:12:20,940
what was
the Mistveil Division's ranking?

259
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,250
Testing me?

260
00:12:22,270 --> 00:12:23,530
Among the 800 divisions,

261
00:12:23,550 --> 00:12:24,700
their rankings never budge.

262
00:12:24,870 --> 00:12:26,730
Griefbane Division, Skyrend Division,
Mistveil Division...

263
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:29,850
And what of the Jade Division?

264
00:12:30,340 --> 00:12:33,380
[800th in the Sect Competition]

265
00:12:35,790 --> 00:12:37,940
As my prized disciple,

266
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,980
you have held fast to 800th place.

267
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,530
How dare you bring that up?

268
00:12:43,550 --> 00:12:44,850
[800th in the Sect Competition]
Half that shame

269
00:12:44,870 --> 00:12:46,730
is yours.

270
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,730
Besides,

271
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,060
among the 800 Lords,

272
00:12:50,150 --> 00:12:51,340
aren't you the only one

273
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:52,730
who has yet to become immortal?

274
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:56,980
Wait. After all that talk,

275
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,730
what does this have to do with Ling'e?

276
00:12:58,750 --> 00:13:00,100
The gap in strength is enormous.

277
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,940
Yet we are to tend
someone else's cold hearth?

278
00:13:02,030 --> 00:13:05,130
Would that not just invite trouble?

279
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:06,850
Invite trouble...

280
00:13:06,870 --> 00:13:08,610
You are simply afraid.

281
00:13:08,670 --> 00:13:09,580
You never change.

282
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:10,530
You change too easily.

283
00:13:10,550 --> 00:13:11,730
You make things up as you go.

284
00:13:11,750 --> 00:13:12,530
You move without a trace.

285
00:13:12,550 --> 00:13:13,530
Our sect is unfortunate.

286
00:13:13,550 --> 00:13:13,940
You are...

287
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:14,130
Senior.

288
00:13:14,150 --> 00:13:14,650
You are...

289
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:15,460
Senior.

290
00:13:18,910 --> 00:13:20,940
Give me one more chance.

291
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,060
I can surely do it.

292
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,220
Listen to the question.

293
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,050
You: Ascension Stage IX.

294
00:13:29,070 --> 00:13:30,810
Male disciple: Ascension Stage VI.

295
00:13:30,870 --> 00:13:32,970
He's harassing a female disciple
at the Refining Stage.

296
00:13:33,110 --> 00:13:34,220
What do you do?

297
00:13:34,550 --> 00:13:35,900
B: Throw a magic instrument at him.

298
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:37,740
Senior!

299
00:13:41,510 --> 00:13:42,330
My leg.

300
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,180
Senior! Senior!

301
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:51,300
Mentor.

302
00:13:53,270 --> 00:13:54,060
Well...

303
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,700
May Senior let me in now?

304
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:57,460
Not yet. Not now.

305
00:13:58,030 --> 00:13:59,010
Do not worry, Ling'e.

306
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:00,220
Who am I?

307
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,010
I am the Lord of Jade Division.

308
00:14:02,030 --> 00:14:03,220
My word is law here.

309
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,340
If need be, I shall stand guard here.

310
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,180
That wayward disciple
will have to agree.

311
00:14:12,550 --> 00:14:13,700
Thank you, Mentor.

312
00:14:14,510 --> 00:14:15,300
But...

313
00:14:15,670 --> 00:14:16,460
No need.

314
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:18,300
Since Senior dislikes me here,

315
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,820
I will not insist on staying.

316
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,100
Mentor, please take care.

317
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:21,820
I am leaving.

318
00:14:22,510 --> 00:14:23,060
Ling'e.

319
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:24,890
Ling'e.

320
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,850
I rule the Jade Division.

321
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:30,730
You...

322
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,370
Have you no compassion at all?

323
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,580
When I found you back then,

324
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,770
you were no better off than her.

325
00:14:57,030 --> 00:14:57,890
Yes, yes.

326
00:14:58,030 --> 00:14:59,490
Taking me in back then

327
00:14:59,510 --> 00:15:01,130
left you utterly exhausted,

328
00:15:01,150 --> 00:15:02,700
so you couldn't focus
on your own cultivation.

329
00:15:03,150 --> 00:15:04,770
Stop being sarcastic.

330
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:07,850
My foundation was destroyed back then,

331
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,300
so my progress was always slow.

332
00:15:10,510 --> 00:15:12,890
If not for the immortal elixirs
you refined for me,

333
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,370
I could not even maintain
my current stage.

334
00:15:18,910 --> 00:15:21,250
In all the world,
useless mentors like me

335
00:15:21,270 --> 00:15:22,180
are few indeed.

336
00:15:22,910 --> 00:15:25,300
But I can't ignore children

337
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,060
like you and Ling'e.

338
00:15:28,910 --> 00:15:30,010
Cultivating immortality

339
00:15:31,630 --> 00:15:34,250
is not merely about cultivation;

340
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,100
it is about humanity.

341
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,460
Isn't this Lan Ling'e?

342
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:00,010
Let me go!

343
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,130
Our outer disciple?

344
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:03,580
The Mistveil Division has come for her!

345
00:16:04,270 --> 00:16:04,940
You will not intervene?

346
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:05,890
Fine, then I will.

347
00:16:06,910 --> 00:16:07,340
Freeze!

348
00:16:08,670 --> 00:16:09,820
Release me, you insolent disciple!

349
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:10,940
Patience, Mentor.

350
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,770
Just watch me handle this.

351
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:15,490
- What outer disciple?
- Let me go!

352
00:16:15,790 --> 00:16:17,010
She's only been here half a year,

353
00:16:17,030 --> 00:16:18,490
a menial servant without a mentor.

354
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,130
How dare you

355
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,530
crack a senior's head open?

356
00:16:22,030 --> 00:16:22,730
You are courting death.

357
00:16:23,150 --> 00:16:23,940
What is this?

358
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:25,730
Trying to run?

359
00:16:26,670 --> 00:16:28,610
[Yuan Heng, Mistveil Division]
Thinking of Jade Division?

360
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,850
They won't have you either.

361
00:16:31,100 --> 00:16:31,630
[Yuan Lang, Mistveil Division]

362
00:16:31,630 --> 00:16:32,220
You little

00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:33,300
piece of trash.

365
00:16:35,910 --> 00:16:37,940
[Yuan Man, Mistveil Division]
She broke my head to save you.

366
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,340
Why not play the hero too?

367
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:42,250
I would not dare.

368
00:16:42,630 --> 00:16:44,420
Senior, I will go keep watch.

369
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,460
You struck me once.

370
00:16:47,150 --> 00:16:48,300
I shall return tenfold.

371
00:16:48,550 --> 00:16:49,610
Perfectly fair, isn't it?

372
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,900
Let me go. I must save that child.

373
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:57,700
The time is not yet right.

374
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:58,700
Calm down. Wait a little longer.

375
00:16:58,720 --> 00:16:59,700
What are you waiting for?

376
00:17:00,430 --> 00:17:01,490
A 98% chance.

377
00:17:01,510 --> 00:17:02,700
What is it now?

378
00:17:03,430 --> 00:17:04,250
Right now,

379
00:17:04,510 --> 00:17:05,410
97%, perhaps.

380
00:17:05,510 --> 00:17:07,380
97%? Why wait?

381
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:08,930
Less than 98%

382
00:17:09,510 --> 00:17:11,060
means suicide.

383
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:17,690
Go!

384
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:20,770
What are you doing?

385
00:17:21,230 --> 00:17:22,610
Let go of me! Let me see!

386
00:17:27,070 --> 00:17:28,050
Why are you hitting me?

387
00:17:28,070 --> 00:17:28,850
I didn't!

388
00:17:30,590 --> 00:17:31,090
Who?

389
00:17:31,550 --> 00:17:32,250
Was it you?

390
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:34,330
Was it you?

391
00:17:34,510 --> 00:17:34,980
Was it you?

392
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:35,570
No, no.

393
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,420
Why are you hitting me again?

394
00:17:39,590 --> 00:17:40,460
Why are you pushing me?

395
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:41,700
Clearly, you hit me.

396
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:42,460
Why are you hitting me?

397
00:17:42,550 --> 00:17:44,050
Why are you hitting me? Why?

398
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:45,570
Stop!

399
00:17:46,070 --> 00:17:46,730
Stop!

400
00:17:47,830 --> 00:17:50,380
We're here to discipline Lan Ling'e.

401
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,180
Why hit me?

402
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,530
- You struck first.
- Let me go!

403
00:17:53,550 --> 00:17:54,530
- No, I...
- Fine.

404
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:56,980
Lan Ling'e,

405
00:17:57,110 --> 00:17:58,380
you won't get away today.

406
00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:59,980
Who says so?

407
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,180
Mentor.

408
00:18:04,510 --> 00:18:05,700
Easy now. Easy.

409
00:18:06,510 --> 00:18:07,420
Right now, you have not joined

410
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,490
my division.

411
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,490
I am Qi Yuan,

412
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,770
Lord of Jade Division.

413
00:18:17,790 --> 00:18:20,380
Kuai Si of Mistveil Division is my peer.

414
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,180
I entered the sect before him.

415
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:24,660
So, by seniority,

416
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,380
you should call me Uncle

417
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,050
or Granduncle.

418
00:18:31,030 --> 00:18:32,250
Uncle? Please.

419
00:18:33,070 --> 00:18:34,290
You're just an old man
with a damaged foundation,

420
00:18:34,310 --> 00:18:35,810
yet to undergo the Tribulation.

421
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:37,420
Isn't that so?

422
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:38,090
Exactly.

423
00:18:38,550 --> 00:18:39,180
That's right.

424
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:44,460
You guys

425
00:18:45,270 --> 00:18:47,810
hurt this little girl so badly.

426
00:18:49,030 --> 00:18:51,490
I will not stand by.

427
00:18:52,030 --> 00:18:53,460
Then what do you want?

428
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:55,900
We're purging our division.

429
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,620
What has it to do with you?

430
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:58,980
Exactly.

431
00:19:04,070 --> 00:19:04,900
I have heard

432
00:19:05,070 --> 00:19:07,860
of your division rules.

433
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:08,940
If I recall correctly,

434
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,450
you have a curfew, right?

435
00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:14,460
Trying to scare me?

436
00:19:14,890 --> 00:19:16,140
- I am scared.
- Oh, no, Senior.

437
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,050
We were too busy fighting

438
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:18,340
and forgot to check the time.

439
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:19,980
For disciples of the Mistveil Division

440
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,020
who fail to return by sunset,

441
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:24,900
how many lashes was it again?

442
00:19:27,310 --> 00:19:29,180
Senior, let's hurry back.

443
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,250
Any later, and it'll be too late.

444
00:19:30,590 --> 00:19:31,010
Let's go, hurry!

445
00:19:31,030 --> 00:19:31,660
Lan Ling'e,

446
00:19:31,830 --> 00:19:33,770
if I don't teach you a lesson today...

447
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:35,490
No, no, not again.

448
00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:36,420
I'm not leaving then.

449
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:37,010
Wait.

450
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:38,770
Didn't you hear it?

451
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,250
Listen more carefully.

452
00:19:43,350 --> 00:19:45,530
The Grandlord's patrol crane.

453
00:19:49,030 --> 00:19:50,810
The Grandlord resides
in Griefbane Division.

454
00:19:50,830 --> 00:19:54,730
The patrol crane patrols 800 divisions.

455
00:19:54,750 --> 00:19:56,530
Today, it came here.

456
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:58,900
Hurry, pay respects!

457
00:20:02,550 --> 00:20:03,380
What a coincidence.

458
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,730
This patrol crane

459
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,290
is also an old friend.

460
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:11,660
It said

461
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,660
that if you keep causing trouble,

462
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,290
it'll peck your eyes out.

463
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:18,420
Peck them out!

464
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:34,220
Senior.

465
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,380
See? You talk too much.

466
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,010
Yuan Qing is here.

467
00:20:43,030 --> 00:20:43,900
Senior.

468
00:20:44,900 --> 00:20:48,140
[Yuan Qing, head disciple
of Mistveil Division]

469
00:20:50,750 --> 00:20:51,460
Yuan Qing.

470
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,490
It's almost nightfall.

471
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,220
Why aren't you back yet?

472
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,010
It's all their fault.

473
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:58,330
They...

474
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:03,770
I understand.

475
00:21:04,510 --> 00:21:06,290
You had your reasons; it's forgivable.

476
00:21:06,830 --> 00:21:09,010
When we return,
if Mentor punishes you,

477
00:21:09,310 --> 00:21:10,420
I'll plead for you.

478
00:21:11,070 --> 00:21:12,180
Thank you, Senior.

479
00:21:19,030 --> 00:21:20,980
I'm Yuan Qing,
disciple of Mistveil Division.

480
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,900
Greetings, Uncle Qi Yuan.

481
00:21:28,350 --> 00:21:29,490
Yuan Qing,

482
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,290
no need for such courtesy.

483
00:21:31,350 --> 00:21:32,140
Uncle,

484
00:21:32,750 --> 00:21:34,980
Lan Ling'e is punished at our division.

485
00:21:35,110 --> 00:21:36,140
By the sect's laws,

486
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,570
she may not join another division.

487
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,180
Please return Lan Ling'e.

488
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:40,140
Yuan Qing,

489
00:21:41,110 --> 00:21:42,900
cultivation is about humanity.

490
00:21:43,070 --> 00:21:44,490
We should honor affection.

491
00:21:45,070 --> 00:21:46,810
Lan Ling'e has no formal mentor.

492
00:21:46,830 --> 00:21:48,570
Why mind where she goes?

493
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:51,660
Uncle.

494
00:21:52,270 --> 00:21:53,730
Forgive my blunt words.

495
00:21:53,750 --> 00:21:56,490
You mimicked
the Grandlord's patrol crane.

496
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,460
That was overstepping.

497
00:21:59,750 --> 00:22:01,980
If I tell the Grandlord,

498
00:22:02,310 --> 00:22:03,090
I fear

499
00:22:04,310 --> 00:22:05,730
it may not favor you.

500
00:22:06,310 --> 00:22:08,660
Yuan Qing, don't use him to scare me.

501
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:09,660
So what if he comes?

502
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:10,810
Kuai Si is my junior.

503
00:22:11,030 --> 00:22:11,730
He... I...

504
00:22:11,750 --> 00:22:12,250
She's here.

505
00:22:19,030 --> 00:22:21,090
Wine is the bane of grief.

506
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,570
The Detached Master has nine disciples.

507
00:22:23,590 --> 00:22:24,940
All bear the Jiu character.
[*Jiu: wine]

508
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,980
She is young, with a high seniority.

509
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,460
She's the last disciple
in the Griefbane Division.

510
00:22:30,590 --> 00:22:32,570
Good at swordsmanship, fond of wine.

511
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,810
[Jiu Jiu, Griefbane Division]
She is Aunt Jiu Jiu.

512
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,180
Aunt Jiu Jiu loves wine.

513
00:22:37,350 --> 00:22:39,570
Our Pearl Brew has a wondrous scent.

514
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:40,940
She'll definitely come.

515
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:41,810
Wine!

516
00:22:42,830 --> 00:22:43,250
Go!

517
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:44,620
Target: Jade Division.

518
00:22:51,270 --> 00:22:53,250
Now I'm 98% sure.

519
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:58,530
This is the scent.

520
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:00,330
Let's talk.

521
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:02,380
What's going on?

522
00:23:02,510 --> 00:23:03,140
Aunt.

523
00:23:03,310 --> 00:23:04,050
It was them.

524
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:05,220
They...

525
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,220
And they came to bully me!

526
00:23:09,350 --> 00:23:10,050
Aunt, I...

527
00:23:10,070 --> 00:23:10,700
Junior Jiu Jiu,

528
00:23:11,310 --> 00:23:12,180
I can bear witness.

529
00:23:18,110 --> 00:23:18,980
Look, look!

530
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:19,980
Seeing is believing.

531
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:20,490
Oh, my heavens!

532
00:23:20,510 --> 00:23:21,660
Look what they've done
to this poor girl.

533
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:23,420
But she also struck my senior's head!

534
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:24,570
The witnesses and evidence are all here.

535
00:23:24,590 --> 00:23:25,290
Yuan Qing,

536
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,290
do you have anything else to say?

537
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:32,660
Aunt,

538
00:23:33,590 --> 00:23:34,620
I have been foolish.

539
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,180
I only listened to one side of the story

540
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:37,810
and harmed Junior Ling'e.

541
00:23:39,070 --> 00:23:40,140
I know my mistake now.

542
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:41,530
Junior Ling'e.

543
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,420
It was all my fault before.

544
00:23:43,590 --> 00:23:44,660
I let you suffer unfairly.

545
00:23:45,790 --> 00:23:46,940
Now that the truth is clear,

546
00:23:47,510 --> 00:23:48,980
if you will return with me,

547
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,770
I will clear your name with Mentor.

548
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,180
Weren't you the ones who made me leave?

549
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:54,420
So, now, I am leaving.

550
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:56,770
That is what I wanted to hear.

551
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,420
Ling'e has not bowed to a mentor.

552
00:23:58,440 --> 00:23:59,940
She is free to go where she wishes.

553
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:00,660
Yuan Qing,

554
00:24:01,110 --> 00:24:01,900
what do you think?

555
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,900
She is backing the Jade Division.

556
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:06,620
Then...

557
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:08,620
We shall follow your words.

558
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:09,900
Yes.

559
00:24:10,790 --> 00:24:11,570
You...

560
00:24:12,350 --> 00:24:14,330
You harassed your peers, fought outside,

561
00:24:14,350 --> 00:24:15,460
and stayed out so late.

562
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,570
You've brought shame to our division.

563
00:24:18,790 --> 00:24:20,220
All of you, go back and be punished!

564
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:21,570
Yes, Senior.

565
00:24:22,350 --> 00:24:23,140
Stop!

566
00:24:28,510 --> 00:24:29,290
That's it?

567
00:24:32,310 --> 00:24:34,180
Anything wrong with my actions?

568
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,380
Please enlighten me.

569
00:24:35,510 --> 00:24:36,900
You smashed this jar of fine wine.

570
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:38,620
Aren't you going to apologize to it?

571
00:24:39,070 --> 00:24:39,570
This...

572
00:24:46,070 --> 00:24:47,660
I accept punishment willingly.

573
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:48,420
Ten jars.

574
00:24:48,790 --> 00:24:49,730
Give me now.

575
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:50,620
Ten?

576
00:24:50,830 --> 00:24:51,140
This...

577
00:24:53,030 --> 00:24:53,980
Worth the trip.

578
00:24:54,510 --> 00:24:55,010
Thanks.

579
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:55,620
Going back.

580
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,490
Mentor, am I really safe?

581
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:05,250
Heavens.

582
00:25:05,310 --> 00:25:06,730
So, how did Aunt Jiu Jiu

583
00:25:06,750 --> 00:25:08,730
just happen to pass by

584
00:25:08,750 --> 00:25:10,290
and save me?

585
00:25:10,310 --> 00:25:11,380
Right, and that crane too.

586
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,380
I arranged all that.

587
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,050
Mentor, you really are...

588
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,010
Ling'e, you're truly naive.

589
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:20,460
It was him.

590
00:25:20,790 --> 00:25:21,420
He...

591
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,250
Do you know what you did wrong?

592
00:25:36,350 --> 00:25:37,140
What?

593
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,980
When you see a Qi refiner
at the Ascension Stage VI

594
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,860
harassing a female disciple,

595
00:25:42,510 --> 00:25:43,860
you'll choose to go kill him.

596
00:25:44,030 --> 00:25:46,660
How can you know
he wasn't hiding his strength?

597
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,700
That's a beast who'd commit
such a vile act.

598
00:25:51,590 --> 00:25:52,730
Would he be so honest?

599
00:25:55,110 --> 00:25:57,050
Am I wrong to hurl
a magic instrument at him?

600
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,140
How do you know he doesn't have one?

601
00:25:59,550 --> 00:26:00,940
If he is a Great Immortal,

602
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,460
with power above yours,

603
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,140
and you anger him, how will you escape?

604
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:07,250
Moreover,

605
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:08,980
you are a female disciple yourself.

606
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,250
If that brute turns and harasses you,

607
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:12,860
what can you possibly do?

608
00:26:16,750 --> 00:26:19,420
In the Primordial World,
all is uncertain.

609
00:26:20,510 --> 00:26:21,980
You think you are saving someone,

610
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,460
but you are only harming yourself.

611
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,460
You think you are doing good,

612
00:26:25,790 --> 00:26:28,180
but you are courting your own ruin.

613
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:30,980
Love can breed hate.

614
00:26:31,750 --> 00:26:32,900
Helping can be harmful too.

615
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,900
Rash actions always lead to tragedy.

616
00:26:39,750 --> 00:26:41,700
Then, I was wrong.

617
00:26:43,070 --> 00:26:44,290
To survive,

618
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,050
there is only one method.

619
00:26:46,830 --> 00:26:48,460
Stay away from all disputes and karma.

620
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:49,860
Focus on protecting yourself.

621
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,250
If everyone protects themselves

622
00:26:51,270 --> 00:26:52,220
and harms no one else,

623
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,050
wouldn't the world be wonderful?

624
00:26:55,510 --> 00:26:56,290
So,

625
00:26:57,110 --> 00:26:58,140
you know the answer?

626
00:26:58,480 --> 00:26:59,250
I do.

627
00:27:00,030 --> 00:27:01,380
Tell me loudly.

628
00:27:02,030 --> 00:27:03,250
What should you do?

629
00:27:03,750 --> 00:27:04,530
I...

630
00:27:06,830 --> 00:27:07,810
I'll pretend I didn't see it

631
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:08,860
and go find you.

632
00:27:10,790 --> 00:27:11,460
Junior.

633
00:27:12,550 --> 00:27:13,330
Please.

634
00:27:13,500 --> 00:27:15,980
[Steady]

635
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,180
So much delicious food.

636
00:27:18,750 --> 00:27:19,530
Come.

637
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:21,250
Mentor.

638
00:27:22,110 --> 00:27:23,660
Shouldn't you have tea first?

639
00:27:26,790 --> 00:27:29,220
To the old tree sprouting anew

640
00:27:29,750 --> 00:27:30,980
and new additions to the family.

641
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,420
You never have a kind word.

642
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:37,180
Good.

643
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:45,250
Senior,

644
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:46,700
please have some tea.

645
00:28:11,310 --> 00:28:13,050
Did you know that the Mistveil Division

646
00:28:13,070 --> 00:28:14,620
would come for her?

647
00:28:16,350 --> 00:28:18,250
To have Ling'e stay here,

648
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:19,700
we had to face this sooner or later.

649
00:28:21,350 --> 00:28:23,810
Senior, you wanted me to stay?

650
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,570
Then why set up all those plans?

651
00:28:25,590 --> 00:28:26,570
Your senior here

652
00:28:26,590 --> 00:28:27,700
learns nothing else,

653
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,860
but when it comes to sly schemes,

654
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,570
if he ranks second
in the Ascendance Sect,

655
00:28:31,590 --> 00:28:32,860
no one dares rank first.

656
00:28:33,070 --> 00:28:34,220
I'm telling you.

657
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:35,810
Remember one word:

658
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:37,250
Steady.

659
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:39,250
[Steady]
Senior,

660
00:28:40,070 --> 00:28:41,980
you are truly far too steady.

661
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:44,770
Senior.

662
00:28:46,070 --> 00:28:47,770
Open that lid.

663
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,090
I made it just for you.

664
00:28:51,750 --> 00:28:53,290
You're not teasing me, are you?

665
00:28:58,550 --> 00:28:59,770
You forgot it yourself, didn't you?

666
00:29:00,590 --> 00:29:03,570
Today is the seventh day
of the third month.

667
00:29:04,350 --> 00:29:05,420
Your birthday.

668
00:29:05,830 --> 00:29:07,220
The day I found you.

669
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:13,180
Senior.

670
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:15,250
Happy birthday.

671
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,250
Ages pass in a finger snap.

672
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,330
Why struggle over it?

673
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:27,700
[33 years ago]
The world is vast.

674
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:29,380
Let's seek peace.

675
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:30,570
Come back with me.

676
00:29:30,590 --> 00:29:32,250
You'll eat your fill every day.

677
00:29:33,350 --> 00:29:34,490
Why won't you heed my words?

678
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:43,810
Those who cultivate the Way

679
00:29:44,830 --> 00:29:46,380
should keep kindness in their hearts.

680
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:48,770
We cannot leave the dying unaided.

681
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,460
This little rascal is heavy.

682
00:29:53,830 --> 00:29:54,620
Why should I save him?

683
00:29:55,110 --> 00:29:56,860
He seems stronger than I am.

684
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:58,860
Sheep, follow me.

685
00:30:08,750 --> 00:30:09,530
Mentor.

686
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,330
These thirty long years,

687
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:14,700
you have toiled hard.

688
00:30:17,270 --> 00:30:18,460
You are truly disgusting.

689
00:30:18,790 --> 00:30:19,620
Heavens above.

690
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,290
Take this wayward disciple.

691
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:23,250
You've got a new disciple.

692
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:25,380
True.

693
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:27,900
Ling'e has stayed.

694
00:30:28,110 --> 00:30:30,490
And today is Changshou's birthday.

695
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:32,530
Let us have some wine.

696
00:30:35,070 --> 00:30:36,010
Oh, it's this way.

697
00:30:36,550 --> 00:30:38,570
Century-old Pearl...

698
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:39,620
Brew.

699
00:30:42,830 --> 00:30:43,380
Stop right there.

700
00:30:44,110 --> 00:30:46,730
This is my century-old Pearl Brew.

701
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,050
Did you give it to Jiu Jiu?

702
00:30:48,270 --> 00:30:48,730
Mentor.

703
00:30:48,750 --> 00:30:50,490
Do you know how long I saved it?

704
00:30:50,510 --> 00:30:51,050
Mentor.

705
00:30:51,070 --> 00:30:52,700
- It's fine liquor, but don't drink it.
- Out!

706
00:30:52,790 --> 00:30:54,980
You never give me any peace.

707
00:30:55,550 --> 00:30:56,770
I swear...

708
00:30:59,510 --> 00:31:01,220
Mother. Brother.

709
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,420
I've reached my new home.

710
00:31:05,780 --> 00:31:09,340
[Mistveil Division]

711
00:31:10,780 --> 00:31:13,540
[Hall of Virtue]

712
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,140
Will Yuan Qing survive this?

713
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:19,380
Senior.

714
00:31:20,350 --> 00:31:20,940
How is it?

715
00:31:21,270 --> 00:31:22,900
Mentor is raging inside.

716
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:23,810
How long has it been?

717
00:31:28,510 --> 00:31:29,330
Yuan Qing,

718
00:31:30,750 --> 00:31:32,700
these eighty lashes of the Golden Whip

719
00:31:33,310 --> 00:31:35,220
are for acting on your own

720
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,140
and disgracing our division.

721
00:31:38,550 --> 00:31:40,180
You're their senior.

722
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,700
You must set an example.

723
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:46,330
I know my mistake.

724
00:31:48,140 --> 00:31:49,790
[Kuai Si, Sect Elder,
Lord of Mistveil Division]

725
00:31:49,790 --> 00:31:51,660
Though I am still

726
00:31:52,350 --> 00:31:53,660
one step from the Aureate Stage,

727
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,220
who is Qi Yuan to challenge me?

728
00:31:57,790 --> 00:31:59,530
Once I have the chance,

729
00:31:59,750 --> 00:32:01,810
I can reduce him to dust.

730
00:32:02,070 --> 00:32:02,860
Mentor.

731
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,220
Yet after this disturbance,

732
00:32:06,830 --> 00:32:08,460
we did gain something.

733
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,900
Go on. Tell me.

734
00:32:26,310 --> 00:32:27,250
From start to finish,

735
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,490
the Grandlord never appeared.

736
00:32:29,790 --> 00:32:32,010
Aunt Jiu Jiu spoke for him.

737
00:32:33,110 --> 00:32:34,140
From this, we can infer

738
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,250
that the Grandlord

739
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:37,980
is still in secluded cultivation.

740
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,330
The Detached Master is always punctual.

741
00:32:42,350 --> 00:32:43,980
He never delays emerging from seclusion.

742
00:32:45,750 --> 00:32:46,530
Could it be

743
00:32:47,510 --> 00:32:49,660
that he ran into some trouble?

744
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:51,530
I believe

745
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,770
extraordinary times bring
unique chances.

746
00:33:00,070 --> 00:33:01,700
In our division,

747
00:33:02,030 --> 00:33:03,810
I trust

748
00:33:05,270 --> 00:33:06,460
you alone.

749
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,570
Three years later, the Training Assembly

750
00:33:08,590 --> 00:33:12,140
is when you'll shine for our division.

751
00:33:12,310 --> 00:33:13,490
Those who are worthy

752
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,940
may stay here.

753
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,700
Useless disciples are nothing

754
00:33:22,270 --> 00:33:24,330
but walking corpses.

755
00:33:26,790 --> 00:33:28,220
You are their senior.

756
00:33:28,790 --> 00:33:30,530
Handle it as you see fit.

757
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:35,330
