22
00:01:44,290 --> 00:01:44,910
Grandmaster.

23
00:01:46,140 --> 00:01:47,240
Grandmaster, are you all right?

24
00:01:48,010 --> 00:01:51,270
Is the Spirit Fire inside you restless again?

25
00:01:56,570 --> 00:01:57,840
Have you found Shi Qianlv?

26
00:02:00,260 --> 00:02:00,760
He...

27
00:02:01,650 --> 00:02:02,520
he escaped.

28
00:02:03,170 --> 00:02:04,320
Then why are you back here?

29
00:02:09,860 --> 00:02:10,840
Grandmaster, look.

30
00:02:15,260 --> 00:02:16,030
Ye Ruling?

31
00:02:16,940 --> 00:02:18,030
She was Hongluo,

32
00:02:20,170 --> 00:02:23,240
the girl killed by those two

33
00:02:23,260 --> 00:02:24,590
from the Zhihun clan.

34
00:02:27,490 --> 00:02:28,870
So she ended up in the Demon Realm as well.

35
00:02:29,730 --> 00:02:30,590
Grandmaster,

36
00:02:32,450 --> 00:02:33,240
have you heard?

37
00:02:34,730 --> 00:02:36,030
The people at Rouge Terrace said

38
00:02:37,050 --> 00:02:39,310
they found her by Yin-Yang Lake.

39
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:42,200
And they told me

40
00:02:42,610 --> 00:02:46,150
she was carrying the tube whistle I gave her.

41
00:02:47,660 --> 00:02:48,430
Grandmaster,

42
00:02:48,940 --> 00:02:50,870
I finally got word of her,

43
00:02:52,220 --> 00:02:54,120
but then I instantly lost her again.

44
00:02:57,010 --> 00:02:57,840
Does this mean

45
00:02:58,660 --> 00:03:00,680
I will never see her again?

46
00:03:09,540 --> 00:03:10,990
Her soul has been transferred.

47
00:03:13,140 --> 00:03:14,150
You guarded the rite.

48
00:03:18,140 --> 00:03:18,840
Really?

49
00:03:21,010 --> 00:03:24,400
When I stood guard over the Soul Transfer,

50
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:26,750
all I found was a handful of ashes.

51
00:03:27,660 --> 00:03:28,550
I never knew

52
00:03:30,050 --> 00:03:31,200
that was her.

53
00:03:40,260 --> 00:03:40,870
But

54
00:03:43,050 --> 00:03:44,550
don't be too quick to rejoice.

55
00:03:45,890 --> 00:03:47,470
When I performed the Soul Transfer Spell for her,

56
00:03:47,890 --> 00:03:51,030
I found that her soul was badly damaged.

57
00:03:51,420 --> 00:03:53,520
The memories of when she was Ye Ruling

58
00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:57,150
may never return.

59
00:03:58,380 --> 00:04:00,120
Grandmaster, are you saying

60
00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:02,430
that she

61
00:04:04,260 --> 00:04:06,200
may not remember me?

62
00:04:11,010 --> 00:04:12,240
She may even treat your devotion

63
00:04:15,610 --> 00:04:16,840
as nothing,

64
00:04:21,660 --> 00:04:22,880
leaving you in pain.

65
00:04:24,020 --> 00:04:25,910
Even though none of this

66
00:04:27,340 --> 00:04:28,470
has happened yet,

67
00:04:31,460 --> 00:04:32,590
your words

68
00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:35,640
already make my heart ache.

69
00:04:37,340 --> 00:04:38,590
As long as she remains alive,

70
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:41,520
no matter how much it hurts you,

71
00:04:43,860 --> 00:04:44,790
you must endure it.

72
00:04:47,050 --> 00:04:48,320
You are right, Grandmaster.

73
00:04:49,730 --> 00:04:50,840
What matters most

74
00:04:52,610 --> 00:04:53,910
is that she remains alive.

75
00:05:03,020 --> 00:05:03,560
Move it.

76
00:05:06,020 --> 00:05:06,560
Keep up.

77
00:05:07,460 --> 00:05:08,080
Hurry.

78
00:05:11,580 --> 00:05:12,110
Move it!

79
00:05:14,420 --> 00:05:14,960
Move!

80
00:05:19,780 --> 00:05:20,790
- Keep up. - Qianlv,

81
00:05:21,540 --> 00:05:23,030
people from the Demon Realm and Sima Jiao's men

82
00:05:23,780 --> 00:05:25,080
are all looking for us.

83
00:05:25,260 --> 00:05:25,850
Hurry up!

84
00:05:25,850 --> 00:05:27,440
If Liao Tingyan doesn't act soon,

85
00:05:28,460 --> 00:05:29,960
are we just going to wait for death?

86
00:05:32,460 --> 00:05:33,590
Avoid that squad of ghost envoys.

87
00:05:34,900 --> 00:05:35,470
Hurry!

88
00:05:39,370 --> 00:05:40,560
Greetings, Preceptor.

89
00:05:40,730 --> 00:05:41,590
Routine inspection.

90
00:05:50,250 --> 00:05:51,400
Who is in the carriage?

91
00:05:56,930 --> 00:05:57,520
Qianlv...

92
00:06:32,170 --> 00:06:32,760
Go on.

93
00:06:33,490 --> 00:06:34,030
Yes.

94
00:06:44,690 --> 00:06:47,110
That man once held power in the Celestial Palace.

95
00:06:47,580 --> 00:06:49,030
He has some cunning.

96
00:06:49,690 --> 00:06:51,230
But look at him now.

97
00:06:51,900 --> 00:06:53,000
How laughable.

98
00:06:53,660 --> 00:06:54,440
Preceptor,

99
00:06:55,660 --> 00:06:57,320
why did you let him go?

100
00:06:58,020 --> 00:07:00,910
I've heard Liao Tingyan has called him Father these past 18 years,

101
00:07:01,860 --> 00:07:04,590
believing he was her savior.

102
00:07:06,130 --> 00:07:07,840
He's also the one who knows her history

103
00:07:08,020 --> 00:07:09,440
in the Celestial Palace best.

104
00:07:10,020 --> 00:07:10,910
I'm letting him live.

105
00:07:11,610 --> 00:07:13,230
Perhaps one day he'll be of use to me.

106
00:07:16,170 --> 00:07:19,110
But what if he doesn't repay the favor?

107
00:07:20,930 --> 00:07:22,230
I don't need him to.

108
00:07:24,540 --> 00:07:26,230
Once he is driven to a dead end,

109
00:07:27,050 --> 00:07:28,440
he will swallow his pride.

110
00:07:30,290 --> 00:07:31,440
Keep a close watch on him.

111
00:07:32,340 --> 00:07:32,840
Understood.

112
00:07:35,050 --> 00:07:36,350
We're lucky they didn't realize

113
00:07:36,370 --> 00:07:37,520
we were from the Celestial Palace.

114
00:07:39,290 --> 00:07:41,910
That was Mingli, the Preceptor of the Demon Realm.

115
00:07:42,780 --> 00:07:44,560
With his cultivation, he surely saw

116
00:07:44,580 --> 00:07:45,640
our true identity.

117
00:07:46,580 --> 00:07:49,440
Then why did he let us go?

118
00:07:52,250 --> 00:07:55,440
Perhaps he has an ulterior motive.

119
00:08:12,100 --> 00:08:12,710
Hey, you.

120
00:08:13,340 --> 00:08:13,840
Stop.

121
00:08:16,020 --> 00:08:17,790
Why are you still here?

122
00:08:18,370 --> 00:08:19,590
Your Grandmaster said

123
00:08:20,690 --> 00:08:21,790
I could stay.

124
00:08:26,290 --> 00:08:27,110
Listen up.

125
00:08:27,860 --> 00:08:29,080
You're only still alive

126
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:30,590
because our Grandmaster cares

127
00:08:30,860 --> 00:08:32,080
about Tingyan's feelings.

128
00:08:32,580 --> 00:08:34,350
You should be keeping your head down.

129
00:08:35,770 --> 00:08:37,390
How dare you strut around like this?

130
00:08:40,490 --> 00:08:41,390
Listen.

131
00:08:41,770 --> 00:08:44,470
From now on, you are not to appear before Tingyan again.

132
00:08:46,610 --> 00:08:47,230
Fine.

133
00:08:48,860 --> 00:08:51,230
But Yan loves the food I make.

134
00:08:52,060 --> 00:08:53,870
If she can't have it, she'll grow restless

135
00:08:54,220 --> 00:08:55,040
and have trouble sleeping.

136
00:08:55,610 --> 00:08:58,390
If she falls ill because of this, who will take responsibility?

137
00:09:01,820 --> 00:09:02,590
Are you saying

138
00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:06,280
she can't do without you?

139
00:09:07,250 --> 00:09:08,200
It seems that way.

140
00:09:10,130 --> 00:09:11,080
You are too dangerous

141
00:09:11,770 --> 00:09:12,470
for her.

142
00:09:13,820 --> 00:09:14,680
I'm staying by her side

143
00:09:15,490 --> 00:09:16,680
to shield her from you.

144
00:09:18,860 --> 00:09:20,160
She and I are cultivation partners.

145
00:09:21,730 --> 00:09:22,280
You

146
00:09:24,010 --> 00:09:25,470
are nothing but a clown.

147
00:09:38,890 --> 00:09:39,560
Still,

148
00:09:40,860 --> 00:09:44,080
these do smell nice.

149
00:09:49,410 --> 00:09:49,960
Don't flatter yourself.

150
00:09:50,490 --> 00:09:51,870
This is nothing.

151
00:09:52,010 --> 00:09:53,110
Our Grandmaster can get Tingyan

152
00:09:53,300 --> 00:09:54,200
whatever she wants to eat.

153
00:10:00,460 --> 00:10:01,280
Grandmaster,

154
00:10:02,130 --> 00:10:03,750
even if you don't kill him,

155
00:10:04,250 --> 00:10:05,560
you can't let him act so arrogantly.

156
00:10:09,610 --> 00:10:10,630
Someone like him

157
00:10:12,530 --> 00:10:13,680
is not worth my anger.

158
00:10:16,220 --> 00:10:17,710
I won't take him seriously.

159
00:10:18,770 --> 00:10:20,110
But Grandmaster,

160
00:10:20,730 --> 00:10:21,680
you don't really seem

161
00:10:22,370 --> 00:10:25,160
like you're not angry.

162
00:10:30,060 --> 00:10:30,510
Let's go.

163
00:10:38,650 --> 00:10:39,800
Your spells are getting stronger.

164
00:10:40,180 --> 00:10:40,920
Have you been practicing in secret?

165
00:10:41,410 --> 00:10:42,110
Of course not.

166
00:10:42,180 --> 00:10:42,800
Come on.

167
00:10:43,250 --> 00:10:44,440
I know you love training.

168
00:10:44,890 --> 00:10:45,470
Again.

169
00:10:46,700 --> 00:10:48,710
Love it? I'm forced into it.

170
00:10:51,180 --> 00:10:51,750
What?

171
00:10:52,770 --> 00:10:53,960
Nothing. Let's keep going.

172
00:10:56,220 --> 00:10:56,960
It's already dark.

173
00:10:57,650 --> 00:10:58,510
Go back and rest.

174
00:10:59,250 --> 00:11:00,160
I'll scout outside to see

175
00:11:00,180 --> 00:11:01,390
if there are any gaps in the defenses

176
00:11:01,650 --> 00:11:03,630
and prepare for our departure.

177
00:11:04,010 --> 00:11:04,510
All right.

178
00:11:11,980 --> 00:11:13,920
Why doesn't Feng Qi listen?

179
00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:15,470
I told him to leave, but he just won't.

180
00:11:16,180 --> 00:11:18,160
Every day, he drags me to train like he's on stimulants.

181
00:11:21,650 --> 00:11:22,870
I only train for self-defense,

182
00:11:22,890 --> 00:11:24,080
not because I like it.

183
00:12:02,700 --> 00:12:03,590
When did you come in?

184
00:12:04,530 --> 00:12:05,630
Let me take you somewhere.

185
00:12:15,530 --> 00:12:18,350
Why can't I ever say no to him?

186
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,960
[Central Tower, Winter City Lord Residence]

187
00:13:09,250 --> 00:13:11,320
Why does it feel like I've been here before?

188
00:13:15,340 --> 00:13:16,160
You remember?

189
00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:18,920
No.

190
00:13:20,410 --> 00:13:21,990
I just feel

191
00:13:22,610 --> 00:13:24,590
like I saw it in a dream.

192
00:13:30,410 --> 00:13:31,350
That was no dream.

193
00:13:34,610 --> 00:13:37,160
This is where we first met.

194
00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:48,320
I'm exhausted.

195
00:13:52,370 --> 00:13:53,080
Can't walk anymore?

196
00:13:53,980 --> 00:13:54,710
Grandmaster,

197
00:13:55,460 --> 00:13:56,800
forgive me for asking,

198
00:13:57,130 --> 00:13:58,390
but why are we

199
00:13:58,860 --> 00:14:00,200
climbing so high?

200
00:14:00,580 --> 00:14:01,200
No reason.

201
00:14:03,220 --> 00:14:04,800
Back then, when you climbed these stairs,

202
00:14:05,250 --> 00:14:07,040
you nearly collapsed.

203
00:14:08,100 --> 00:14:09,110
I had never met anyone

204
00:14:09,130 --> 00:14:10,110
weaker than you.

205
00:14:13,700 --> 00:14:14,590
Even the snake I kept

206
00:14:16,060 --> 00:14:17,230
was 100 times stronger.

But now you can climb them

210
00:14:27,730 --> 00:14:28,710
without tiring so much.

211
00:14:32,180 --> 00:14:33,680
At the Soulbud stage,

212
00:14:34,730 --> 00:14:36,320
some flights of stairs are nothing to me.

213
00:14:38,770 --> 00:14:39,390
But I know

214
00:14:41,220 --> 00:14:44,110
that even if you can climb them, you don't like doing it.

You've always liked delicate things.

221
00:15:23,610 --> 00:15:24,230
I put up

222
00:15:27,180 --> 00:15:29,040
these lanterns after moving the tower here.

223
00:15:31,940 --> 00:15:32,560
Do you like them?

224
00:15:35,460 --> 00:15:37,280
In the Demon Realm, everything is practical.

225
00:15:37,890 --> 00:15:39,320
It's rare to see something so beautiful.

226
00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:42,870
If you like them,

227
00:15:46,100 --> 00:15:47,840
I'll light them for you every day.

00:16:10,980 --> 00:16:12,110
This is so beautiful,

236
00:16:14,410 --> 00:16:16,230
like a sky full of stars.

237
00:16:21,370 --> 00:16:22,560
You like watching the stars?

238
00:16:37,530 --> 00:16:38,470
This is breathtaking.

239
00:16:39,730 --> 00:16:41,510
It's been so long since I last saw a meteor shower.

240
00:16:44,010 --> 00:16:45,510
This tower is perfect for stargazing.

241
00:16:47,220 --> 00:16:49,750
It once stood on Three Saints Mountain.

242
00:16:50,530 --> 00:16:51,680
I moved it here.

243
00:16:52,770 --> 00:16:54,230
You must really like it.

244
00:16:57,730 --> 00:16:58,560
I hate it.

245
00:17:00,580 --> 00:17:01,920
It imprisoned me for 500 years.

246
00:17:03,130 --> 00:17:03,910
Five hundred years?

247
00:17:08,190 --> 00:17:10,060
Then why did you bring it here?

248
00:17:11,170 --> 00:17:12,800
Because we once lived here.

249
00:17:14,370 --> 00:17:15,560
It carries your aura.

250
00:17:18,970 --> 00:17:22,280
I nearly forgot. I'm only a substitute.

251
00:17:23,890 --> 00:17:26,910
None of this is really for me.

252
00:17:54,610 --> 00:17:56,430
Is something missing here?

253
00:18:09,690 --> 00:18:10,870
I'll kill you!

254
00:18:11,130 --> 00:18:12,800
So what if your cultivation partner died?

255
00:18:13,260 --> 00:18:14,870
Yes, my power caused her death,

256
00:18:15,260 --> 00:18:16,480
but I didn't kill her!

257
00:18:16,780 --> 00:18:18,080
You were the fool who schemed

258
00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:18,950
against others

259
00:18:19,170 --> 00:18:20,760
and ended up burning her to death by accident!

260
00:18:21,340 --> 00:18:23,480
You keep blaming me.

261
00:18:24,060 --> 00:18:26,240
Even if you feel nothing, I suffer!

262
00:18:28,020 --> 00:18:29,870
You huge jerk! You scum!

263
00:18:31,740 --> 00:18:33,720
Why does this flame curse

264
00:18:34,060 --> 00:18:35,630
just like me?

265
00:18:36,650 --> 00:18:37,110
Shut up.

266
00:18:37,780 --> 00:18:39,520
You brought her back?

267
00:18:41,130 --> 00:18:42,630
I once had you water it

268
00:18:44,020 --> 00:18:45,350
so it would produce Bloodseal Blooms,

269
00:18:47,210 --> 00:18:48,590
and you taught it to talk this way.

270
00:18:50,690 --> 00:18:52,390
You vile, wicked woman!

271
00:18:52,740 --> 00:18:54,590
How could you still water me after learning the truth?

272
00:18:54,610 --> 00:18:56,480
You're just

273
00:18:56,500 --> 00:18:57,630
a petty little evil flame.

274
00:18:57,780 --> 00:18:58,590
Of course I'd choose

275
00:18:58,610 --> 00:19:00,630
to obey the far more terrifying Grandmaster.

276
00:19:01,580 --> 00:19:04,480
So this is the famed Bloodseal Bloom.

277
00:19:05,690 --> 00:19:06,630
I taught it?

278
00:19:25,130 --> 00:19:28,110
These loungers are exactly my style.

279
00:19:50,690 --> 00:19:52,040
You really know how to enjoy yourself.

280
00:19:54,100 --> 00:19:54,630
You taught me this.

281
00:19:56,500 --> 00:19:58,560
So the body's original owner used facial masks too?

282
00:20:02,020 --> 00:20:03,110
I haven't had time

283
00:20:03,450 --> 00:20:05,910
to put on a mask and relax like this in years.

284
00:20:06,690 --> 00:20:07,590
What's the point of it?

285
00:20:09,740 --> 00:20:11,430
It keeps the skin moisturized.

286
00:20:15,170 --> 00:20:16,720
When you were gone,

287
00:20:17,890 --> 00:20:19,280
I once came here alone.

288
00:20:20,930 --> 00:20:22,240
And somehow,

289
00:20:25,300 --> 00:20:26,480
the past ten-odd years felt

290
00:20:29,130 --> 00:20:31,040
even longer than the 500 years

291
00:20:31,060 --> 00:20:31,950
in the Three Saints Mountain.

292
00:20:34,300 --> 00:20:35,430
Remember:

293
00:20:36,500 --> 00:20:38,480
he isn't doing any of this for you.

294
00:20:39,890 --> 00:20:40,800
We once shared

295
00:20:44,740 --> 00:20:46,280
countless memories here.

296
00:20:52,500 --> 00:20:54,560
They are real,

297
00:21:12,300 --> 00:21:13,240
unchanging,

298
00:21:21,060 --> 00:21:22,110
and will never fade.

299
00:21:24,340 --> 00:21:26,350
The truth is, I am not the Liao Tingyan you speak of.

300
00:21:34,970 --> 00:21:36,630
We went through life and death together.

301
00:21:38,210 --> 00:21:39,430
How could I mistake you?

302
00:21:50,690 --> 00:21:51,670
But none of that matters.

303
00:21:52,860 --> 00:21:53,950
You can treat today

304
00:21:55,860 --> 00:21:56,950
as our first encounter.

305
00:21:59,740 --> 00:22:00,590
From now on,

306
00:22:03,260 --> 00:22:04,800
I will create new memories for us,

307
00:22:06,210 --> 00:22:07,320
memories that belong

308
00:22:08,500 --> 00:22:09,520
only to the present.

309
00:22:17,780 --> 00:22:18,590
Will you allow it?

310
00:22:27,500 --> 00:22:28,150
Then this

311
00:22:28,170 --> 00:22:30,240
first meeting of ours, filled with lanterns and stars,

312
00:22:32,060 --> 00:22:33,150
is quite romantic.

313
00:22:48,450 --> 00:22:49,760
Other wounds, no matter how grave,

314
00:22:49,780 --> 00:22:51,000
always heal under my treatment.

315
00:22:52,020 --> 00:22:54,000
Why is it so hard with yours?

316
00:22:59,540 --> 00:23:00,480
The more you gain,

317
00:23:01,370 --> 00:23:02,910

My lord,

338
00:24:13,580 --> 00:24:15,280
one of our men sent word that he saw him,

339
00:24:16,130 --> 00:24:17,190
but by the time we got here,

340
00:24:17,540 --> 00:24:18,800
all we found was this empty carriage.

341
00:24:27,540 --> 00:24:28,480
He really was here.

342
00:24:34,020 --> 00:24:34,720
He's over there.

343
00:24:35,100 --> 00:24:35,520
After him!

344
00:24:35,930 --> 00:24:36,390
Yes.

345
00:24:36,780 --> 00:24:37,280
Let's go!

346
00:24:46,930 --> 00:24:48,560
Qianlv...

347
00:24:48,890 --> 00:24:49,870
- Well? - They're coming.

348
00:24:50,100 --> 00:24:50,760
What do we do?

349
00:24:51,210 --> 00:24:51,840
Already?

350
00:24:54,580 --> 00:24:55,110
Run.

351
00:24:56,130 --> 00:24:56,670
Qianlv!

352
00:24:57,210 --> 00:24:57,840
Your legs...

353
00:24:58,130 --> 00:24:59,150
Run, now!

354
00:25:06,820 --> 00:25:07,430
Shi Qianlv,

355
00:25:08,500 --> 00:25:09,630
you cannot escape.

356
00:25:09,930 --> 00:25:11,150
They say you were crippled.

357
00:25:11,370 --> 00:25:13,800
But now it seems you lied to Tingyan.

358
00:25:15,210 --> 00:25:16,190
Enough talk!

359
00:25:36,930 --> 00:25:38,520
Qianlv, go!

360
00:25:48,860 --> 00:25:49,840
Keep chasing him.

361
00:25:50,450 --> 00:25:51,840
I'll bring this one back to the Grandmaster.

362
00:25:52,130 --> 00:25:52,480
Understood.

363
00:26:13,410 --> 00:26:15,720
I actually slept all the way till morning again.

364
00:26:30,260 --> 00:26:31,110
If you like them,

365
00:26:34,860 --> 00:26:36,800
I'll light them for you every day.

366
00:26:47,930 --> 00:26:49,240
Why is my face so hot?

367
00:26:52,020 --> 00:26:53,800
Have I really fallen for Sima Jiao?

368
00:26:59,020 --> 00:27:00,910
Yan, may I come in?

369
00:27:01,450 --> 00:27:02,040
Come in.

370
00:27:09,060 --> 00:27:09,670
Thank you.

371
00:27:12,450 --> 00:27:13,590
I saw everything.

372
00:27:14,820 --> 00:27:17,110
Sima Jiao really was laughable,

373
00:27:17,540 --> 00:27:19,150
thinking he could win you over with tricks like that.

374
00:27:19,970 --> 00:27:21,390
He's really underestimated you.

375
00:27:25,300 --> 00:27:26,280
In fact,

376
00:27:28,170 --> 00:27:29,670
he is very kind to me.

377
00:27:30,450 --> 00:27:31,190
He treats you well

378
00:27:31,210 --> 00:27:32,590
because of the woman he once loved.

379
00:27:32,930 --> 00:27:33,840
It has nothing to do with you.

380
00:27:34,170 --> 00:27:35,280
You said so yourself. Remember?

381
00:27:36,170 --> 00:27:36,950
Those lanterns

382
00:27:37,260 --> 00:27:37,870
and that tower

383
00:27:38,580 --> 00:27:40,040
have nothing to do with you.

384
00:27:40,890 --> 00:27:41,840
Don't get confused.

385
00:27:45,650 --> 00:27:47,280
Enough. I know.

386
00:27:48,820 --> 00:27:50,840
I feel like I'm the other woman right now.

387
00:27:52,060 --> 00:27:53,720
His feelings aren't really for me.

388
00:27:56,540 --> 00:27:57,150
Yan,

389
00:27:58,300 --> 00:27:59,040
in fact, we...

390
00:28:05,970 --> 00:28:07,000
I want to take you to see someone.

391
00:28:11,210 --> 00:28:11,800
Aunt!

392
00:28:12,130 --> 00:28:12,910
Don't call me that!

393
00:28:14,410 --> 00:28:17,110
Our clan has no traitor like you!

394
00:28:18,370 --> 00:28:21,080
How dare you speak such nonsense in front of me?

395
00:28:22,890 --> 00:28:23,950
Please, calm down.

396
00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:27,240
Free her first, will you?

397
00:28:27,650 --> 00:28:29,520
I will let you see for yourself

398
00:28:32,060 --> 00:28:33,840
how the Shi clan deceived you.

399
00:28:38,260 --> 00:28:39,280
You wicked girl.

400
00:28:40,260 --> 00:28:41,480
You killed your own brother.

401
00:28:41,820 --> 00:28:43,760
And now, are you going to watch me

402
00:28:43,780 --> 00:28:44,670
die for you too?

403
00:28:45,610 --> 00:28:47,240
You should kill him now!

404
00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:56,430
I'll cooperate.

405
00:28:57,130 --> 00:28:58,150
But promise me this:

406
00:28:59,650 --> 00:29:01,040
no matter what happens, don't harm her.

407
00:29:12,650 --> 00:29:13,280
Very well.

408
00:29:15,370 --> 00:29:16,080
I promise.

409
00:30:12,410 --> 00:30:13,390
Sima Jiao,

410
00:30:14,260 --> 00:30:15,550
you vile man!

411
00:30:15,660 --> 00:30:18,420
Let me go! Let my father go!

412
00:30:22,820 --> 00:30:23,870
Sima Jiao!

413
00:30:26,820 --> 00:30:27,720
How could this be?

414
00:30:50,970 --> 00:30:51,350
Yan.

415
00:30:51,580 --> 00:30:52,110
Zhenxu.

416
00:30:52,780 --> 00:30:53,190
Come on.

417
00:30:57,370 --> 00:30:59,040
Let's go. Come with me.

418
00:31:00,370 --> 00:31:01,670
But Father...

419
00:31:02,170 --> 00:31:03,240
Don't worry about him.

420
00:31:03,260 --> 00:31:04,390
I'll take care of it. Go now.

421
00:31:04,890 --> 00:31:06,040
Leave this to me. Go!

422
00:31:06,740 --> 00:31:07,190
I...

423
00:31:14,690 --> 00:31:15,390
Zhenxu!

424
00:31:15,890 --> 00:31:17,000
Just leave me.

425
00:31:17,500 --> 00:31:18,430
Go!

426
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:20,720
Remember: kill Sima Jiao

427
00:31:21,060 --> 00:31:22,950
to avenge our clan.

428
00:31:25,410 --> 00:31:26,480
Zhenxu!

429
00:31:34,690 --> 00:31:35,350
Tingyan...

430
00:31:57,020 --> 00:31:58,190
She's using

431
00:32:01,370 --> 00:32:03,080
Father's energy to heal my wounds?

432
00:32:06,020 --> 00:32:08,430
He would even shorten his own life for me...

433
00:32:25,130 --> 00:32:26,630
Someone tampered with her memories.

434
00:32:27,130 --> 00:32:27,950
But weren't you the one

435
00:32:29,260 --> 00:32:30,760
who showed me all that?

436
00:32:35,130 --> 00:32:35,630
Aunt!

437
00:32:51,690 --> 00:32:53,800
You promised not to hurt her.

438
00:32:57,500 --> 00:32:58,870
When I performed Soul Search,

439
00:33:00,170 --> 00:33:01,390
I shielded her soul.

440
00:33:04,210 --> 00:33:05,190
I didn't hurt her.

441
00:33:09,130 --> 00:33:09,950
My mind is a mess.

442
00:33:11,130 --> 00:33:12,040
Give me time to think.

443
00:33:12,300 --> 00:33:12,910
Tingyan...

444
00:33:13,100 --> 00:33:14,190
I am not your Liao Tingyan!

445
00:33:14,210 --> 00:33:15,480
And I don't want to be her!

446
00:33:23,970 --> 00:33:25,480
You only need to be yourself.

447
00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:28,590
You don't even know who I really am.

448
00:33:30,020 --> 00:33:30,670
I do.

449
00:33:33,500 --> 00:33:34,480
You like vacations.

450
00:33:35,410 --> 00:33:36,280
You like touching fish.

451
00:33:39,610 --> 00:33:40,720
And you hate killing most of all.

452
00:33:42,170 --> 00:33:42,720
You're courting death!

453
00:33:52,370 --> 00:33:52,870
Tingyan!

454
00:33:55,820 --> 00:33:56,350
Tingyan!

455
00:34:12,340 --> 00:34:13,240
Qiandu.

456
00:34:18,300 --> 00:34:20,240
Please forgive me.

457
00:34:28,450 --> 00:34:30,470
I never thought it would come to this,

458
00:34:31,890 --> 00:34:34,350
using your life to buy myself

459
00:34:34,860 --> 00:34:36,550
one last chance.

460
00:34:40,010 --> 00:34:40,600
Qianlv,

461
00:34:41,010 --> 00:34:42,430
we are already at the end of the road.

462
00:34:43,050 --> 00:34:45,390
I am willing to give my life to win a chance for the Shi clan's revenge.

463
00:34:46,260 --> 00:34:46,910
Absolutely not.

464
00:34:47,970 --> 00:34:49,510
If you appear before Sima Jiao,

465
00:34:50,260 --> 00:34:51,510
you will surely die.

466
00:34:51,660 --> 00:34:52,280
Besides,

467
00:34:52,660 --> 00:34:53,430
we still have

468
00:34:53,620 --> 00:34:54,950
Liao Tingyan as a piece on the board.

469
00:34:55,370 --> 00:34:56,950
If Liao Tingyan ever meant to strike,

470
00:34:56,970 --> 00:34:58,200
would she have waited until now?

471
00:34:59,490 --> 00:35:01,070
If I am captured and brought before Sima Jiao,

472
00:35:01,530 --> 00:35:02,800
he will certainly use Soul Search on me

473
00:35:03,490 --> 00:35:04,870
to prove himself to her.

474
00:35:05,890 --> 00:35:07,470
You can implant the memories we want her to see

475
00:35:08,140 --> 00:35:09,350
into my Soul Manor.

476
00:35:10,300 --> 00:35:11,550
Once she has seen them,

477
00:35:12,010 --> 00:35:13,070
I will end my own life,

478
00:35:14,180 --> 00:35:16,800
and her hatred for Sima Jiao will be completely awakened.

479
00:35:18,860 --> 00:35:20,600
But...

480
00:35:22,740 --> 00:35:25,320
Qianlv, we have no time left.

481
00:35:25,620 --> 00:35:27,030
They are closing in.

482
00:35:32,820 --> 00:35:35,640
Let me bid you farewell here.

483
00:35:36,370 --> 00:35:38,120
When the Shi clan's vengeance is fulfilled,

484
00:35:39,010 --> 00:35:42,310
please let the winds carry word of it to me.

485
00:36:12,220 --> 00:36:13,550
Sima Jiao,

486
00:36:16,340 --> 00:36:18,870
you will die at the hands of the one you love most.

487
00:36:32,570 --> 00:36:33,200
Grandmaster,

488
00:36:33,660 --> 00:36:34,720
Senior Sister Tingyan is fine.

489
00:36:34,820 --> 00:36:37,550
But she seems to have been forcibly subjected to repeated marrow cleansing.

490
00:36:38,010 --> 00:36:39,720
Her Soul Manor has been badly damaged,

491
00:36:40,570 --> 00:36:42,640
which is why she fainted when her emotions

492
00:36:42,660 --> 00:36:43,350
became unstable.

493
00:36:44,340 --> 00:36:45,800
As her cultivation partner,

494
00:36:46,220 --> 00:36:47,990
you may try to enter her Soul Manor

495
00:36:48,370 --> 00:36:49,390
and repair it yourself.

496
00:36:51,090 --> 00:36:52,510
She has not accepted me yet.

497
00:36:54,140 --> 00:36:56,870
Forcing my way into her Soul Manor would only hurt her.

498
00:37:00,570 --> 00:37:01,870
Use my blood to heal her.

499
00:37:02,140 --> 00:37:02,760
Grandmaster,

500
00:37:03,490 --> 00:37:04,430
your wounds are already

501
00:37:04,660 --> 00:37:06,120
harder to heal than before.

502
00:37:06,780 --> 00:37:07,950
If you draw your blood directly...

503
00:37:09,660 --> 00:37:11,070
With her spirit veins blocked,

504
00:37:11,660 --> 00:37:12,950
using raw blood

505
00:37:13,930 --> 00:37:15,430
might cause backlash.

506
00:37:16,260 --> 00:37:17,600
It must be refined into a pill.

507
00:37:18,010 --> 00:37:20,350
I've heard there are skilled alchemists in Winter City.

508
00:37:20,930 --> 00:37:22,870
Perhaps I can seek their aid.

509
00:37:23,490 --> 00:37:25,120
I will summon every alchemist in the city.

510
00:37:26,090 --> 00:37:27,280
The pill must be made,

511
00:37:27,860 --> 00:37:29,720
but see to it that it is not bitter.

512
00:37:31,660 --> 00:37:31,990
Understood.

513
00:37:38,780 --> 00:37:39,280
Nianjiu,

514
00:37:40,820 --> 00:37:42,510
have you arranged the search for Shi Qianlv?

515
00:37:42,890 --> 00:37:44,600
All preparations are complete.

516
00:37:44,970 --> 00:37:46,760
We can depart at any time.

517
00:37:47,260 --> 00:37:48,070
Then go now.

518
00:37:48,370 --> 00:37:48,840
Yes.

519
00:37:49,820 --> 00:37:50,390
By the way, Grandmaster,

520
00:37:50,700 --> 00:37:51,800
while searching for him,

521
00:37:52,300 --> 00:37:54,390
we could also seize the southwest of the Demon Realm.

522
00:37:57,490 --> 00:37:58,350
The three cities there

523
00:37:59,090 --> 00:38:00,120
have no intention of surrendering.

524
00:38:01,820 --> 00:38:02,990
Don't waste lives needlessly.

525
00:38:04,780 --> 00:38:05,430
Grandmaster,

526
00:38:06,090 --> 00:38:08,720
you care about other people's lives now.

527
00:38:13,180 --> 00:38:13,840
Grandmaster,

528
00:38:15,010 --> 00:38:17,070
before I go, I have one more request.

529
00:38:19,140 --> 00:38:20,240
When Hongluo is reborn,

530
00:38:21,260 --> 00:38:22,240
I will send word to you.

531
00:38:23,740 --> 00:38:24,600
Thank you, Grandmaster.

532
00:38:50,860 --> 00:38:51,760
Where am I?

533
00:39:09,180 --> 00:39:11,510
Could this be the legendary Soul Manor?

534
00:39:13,220 --> 00:39:14,550
But my body's original owner is dead.

535
00:39:14,570 --> 00:39:15,910
There shouldn't be a Soul Manor at all.

536
00:39:18,050 --> 00:39:18,640
No...

537
00:39:19,860 --> 00:39:21,510
This seems to be my Soul Manor.

538
00:39:34,010 --> 00:39:35,160
Why does this flower

539
00:39:35,180 --> 00:39:37,430
look so much like Sima Jiao's Bloodseal Bloom?

540
00:39:40,370 --> 00:39:41,070
Liao Tingyan!

541
00:39:51,820 --> 00:39:52,470
Zhenxu?

542
00:40:01,820 --> 00:40:02,510
I'm out.

543
00:40:06,700 --> 00:40:07,470
Tingyan!

544
00:40:10,780 --> 00:40:11,390
Tingyan!

545
00:40:12,820 --> 00:40:14,030
I'm back!

546
00:40:14,340 --> 00:40:14,840
Hongluo!

547
00:40:19,340 --> 00:40:20,720
Why are you a child?

548
00:40:21,530 --> 00:40:23,120
I've grown quickly.

549
00:40:23,410 --> 00:40:25,430
Truth is, I've only been alive three or four days.

550
00:40:25,530 --> 00:40:27,640
If not for all the spirit medicines

551
00:40:27,660 --> 00:40:29,390
poured on me since the Soul Transfer,

552
00:40:29,530 --> 00:40:31,470
I'd still be a newborn now.

553
00:40:31,490 --> 00:40:33,160
Why did you just now call me Tingyan,

554
00:40:33,570 --> 00:40:34,510
like Sima Jiao does?

555
00:40:34,820 --> 00:40:35,390
Did I?

556
00:40:36,780 --> 00:40:38,070
It must have been instinct.

557
00:40:38,660 --> 00:40:40,070
Since my rebirth,

558
00:40:40,260 --> 00:40:42,800
strange visions keep surfacing in my mind.

559
00:40:43,140 --> 00:40:44,910
I see you, me,

560
00:40:45,570 --> 00:40:48,320
even Sima Jiao, and that City Lord, the Black Serpent.

561
00:40:49,740 --> 00:40:51,120
But I have no memory

562
00:40:51,140 --> 00:40:52,430
of living through any of them.

563
00:40:53,570 --> 00:40:55,280
Anyway, I heard

564
00:40:55,930 --> 00:40:59,050
it was you who asked Sima Jiao to perform the Soul Transfer for me.

565
00:40:59,860 --> 00:41:00,970
Why would you do that?

566
00:41:01,530 --> 00:41:02,840
Aren't you two supposed to be enemies?

567
00:41:03,660 --> 00:41:05,010
That's a long story.

568
00:41:07,090 --> 00:41:08,280
So,

569
00:41:08,530 --> 00:41:10,470
you and your enemy, Sima Jiao,

570
00:41:10,490 --> 00:41:12,200
once fell in love, and now you've reunited.

571
00:41:12,340 --> 00:41:13,870
He says your father deceived you,

572
00:41:14,340 --> 00:41:16,720
but your father says Sima Jiao deceived you.

573
00:41:17,260 --> 00:41:19,350
Then, in a conflict,

574
00:41:19,370 --> 00:41:21,430
Sima Jiao killed your aunt.

575
00:41:21,970 --> 00:41:23,600
But when I accidentally entered my Soul Manor,

576
00:41:24,220 --> 00:41:25,470
I felt something was off.

577
00:41:25,780 --> 00:41:27,070
You actually entered your Soul Manor?

578
00:41:28,260 --> 00:41:31,000
They say fragments of past memories appear there.

579
00:41:31,410 --> 00:41:32,430
What did you see?

580
00:41:33,140 --> 00:41:37,680
I saw that the one who killed my brother wasn't Sima Jiao.

581
00:41:40,570 --> 00:41:41,430
It was me.

582
00:41:42,010 --> 00:41:42,680
What?

583
00:41:42,930 --> 00:41:44,200
Why would

584
00:41:44,220 --> 00:41:46,200
such a memory appear in your Soul Manor?

585
00:41:47,410 --> 00:41:50,640
Could it really be, as Sima Jiao said,

586
00:41:50,740 --> 00:41:52,030
that you are Liao Tingyan

587
00:41:52,370 --> 00:41:54,430
but have only lost that part of your memory?

588
00:41:55,370 --> 00:41:57,160
That is exactly what baffles me.

589
00:41:58,300 --> 00:42:00,280
If what I saw in my Soul Manor was true,

590
00:42:01,090 --> 00:42:03,070
then my aunt's memories were false.

591
00:42:04,780 --> 00:42:07,320
Besides, if Sima Jiao had something to hide,

592
00:42:08,050 --> 00:42:10,350
he wouldn't have insisted on taking me to search for my aunt's soul.

593
00:42:10,530 --> 00:42:14,600
So you suspect your father has been lying to you all along?
