Senior!

44
00:05:19,950 --> 00:05:21,210
Senior, where are you?

00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:22,600

46
00:05:24,870 --> 00:05:25,430

No!

52
00:05:56,950 --> 00:05:57,310
No!

53
00:05:57,430 --> 00:05:57,830
No...

54
00:06:00,070 --> 00:06:00,920
Don't come any closer.

55
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:01,800
Don't come any closer!

56
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,060
Don't come any closer!

00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:06,870
No!

58
00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:08,630
Don't come any closer.

59
00:06:08,630 --> 00:06:10,270
Don't come any closer...

60
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:11,980
Don't come any closer!

61
00:06:23,190 --> 00:06:24,240
Everyone in the back, keep up.

62
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:24,800
Hurry up!

63
00:06:26,310 --> 00:06:26,800
Coming.

64
00:06:36,870 --> 00:06:37,510
Senior.

65
00:06:39,180 --> 00:06:39,840
This is bad.

66
00:06:39,860 --> 00:06:41,920
The Young Sect Master has been taken!

67
00:06:45,260 --> 00:06:46,060
Senior Jiang,

68
00:06:46,159 --> 00:06:48,090
please save the Young Sect Master.

69
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:48,970
Who took him?

70
00:06:49,659 --> 00:06:50,950
Someone from Chongling Valley.

71
00:06:50,950 --> 00:06:52,480
He claimed to be Su Taiyi's Master.

72
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,560
He looked quite young.

73
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:54,630
We couldn't tell his actual age.

74
00:06:54,630 --> 00:06:55,560
Su Taiyi's master.

75
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:56,600
is just a physician.

76
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:57,720
What kind of cultivation could he have?

77
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:58,360
Lin Muhan

78
00:06:58,830 --> 00:06:59,310
is a cultivator

79
00:06:59,310 --> 00:07:00,800
at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

80
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:01,360
His father also

81
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,160
equipped him with magical artifacts.

82
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,430
Even someone at the Golden Core Stage
is no challenge for him.

83
00:07:05,430 --> 00:07:06,760
How did he get captured?

84
00:07:06,950 --> 00:07:08,310
His power is unfathomable.

85
00:07:08,310 --> 00:07:09,510
At Chongling Valley,

86
00:07:09,620 --> 00:07:10,800
he struck Mr. Bai Yun down

87
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:11,680
with a single palm,

88
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,080
and injured Cang Fengzi.

89
00:07:13,330 --> 00:07:14,940
Bai Zongying from Tianyuan Sect

90
00:07:14,940 --> 00:07:17,000
stood by and didn't dare make a sound.

91
00:07:17,210 --> 00:07:18,510
With the Young Sect Master's skills,

92
00:07:18,510 --> 00:07:20,370
it's normal that he was captured.

93
00:07:20,730 --> 00:07:21,660
How did Lin Muhan

94
00:07:22,330 --> 00:07:24,000
provoke this formidable enemy?

95
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,430
He didn't exactly provoke him.

96
00:07:25,430 --> 00:07:26,340
Actually,

97
00:07:27,130 --> 00:07:28,390
they are somewhat friends.

98
00:07:28,390 --> 00:07:29,830
The situation was too chaotic that day.

99
00:07:29,830 --> 00:07:31,070
We were fighting the demonic cultivators

100
00:07:31,070 --> 00:07:32,100
from the Wushuang Society,

101
00:07:32,100 --> 00:07:33,159
and he was fighting

102
00:07:33,159 --> 00:07:33,920
the people from Qinghong Sect.

103
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,120
Later, he was losing,

104
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:36,560
and the Young Sect Master
couldn't bear to watch it,

105
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:37,950
so he helped him out a bit.

106
00:07:37,950 --> 00:07:38,830
He helped him,

107
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:40,770
but still got captured?

108
00:07:41,159 --> 00:07:41,750
Yes.

109
00:07:42,310 --> 00:07:43,240
And then,

110
00:07:43,270 --> 00:07:45,240
the big guy from Qinghong Sect died,

111
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:46,270
and the rest fled.

112
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:47,630
As the Young Sect Master

113
00:07:47,630 --> 00:07:49,190
was capturing those demonic cultivators,

114
00:07:49,190 --> 00:07:50,920
he was suddenly grabbed and taken away.

115
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:51,600
Before leaving,

116
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:52,630
he left a message.

117
00:07:53,510 --> 00:07:54,310
What message?

118
00:07:54,510 --> 00:07:55,630
"If any of you dare make a move,

119
00:07:55,630 --> 00:07:57,630
I will kill your Young Sect Master."

120
00:08:02,260 --> 00:08:03,000
He is protecting

121
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,660
Wushuang Society's members.

122
00:08:04,870 --> 00:08:06,190
How did Chongling Valley
and Wushuang Society

123
00:08:06,190 --> 00:08:07,650
end up helping each other?

124
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,050
I don't know about that either.

125
00:08:09,050 --> 00:08:10,480
But isn't it normal

126
00:08:10,510 --> 00:08:11,070
for members of Chongling Valley
and Wushuang Society

127
00:08:11,070 --> 00:08:12,130
to help each other?

128
00:08:12,430 --> 00:08:13,120
Just look at

129
00:08:13,390 --> 00:08:15,100
his attitude towards ordinary mortals

130
00:08:15,100 --> 00:08:16,090
and his attitude

131
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,920
towards us in the immortal sect.

132
00:08:20,140 --> 00:08:20,970
Senior Jiang,

133
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,210
what should we do now?

134
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:23,490
What do you mean?

135
00:08:23,510 --> 00:08:25,020
The Young Sect Master has been captured.

136
00:08:25,020 --> 00:08:25,750
We must save him.

137
00:08:25,750 --> 00:08:27,120
Isn't that your business?

138
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,040
Mine?

139
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,070
I came here on my master's orders

140
00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:32,380
to capture the people of Wushuang Society.

141
00:08:32,380 --> 00:08:34,059
I don't care about anything else.

142
00:08:34,059 --> 00:08:35,150
Nangong Guhong and I

143
00:08:35,150 --> 00:08:36,409
will continue forward

144
00:08:36,669 --> 00:08:37,600
to Phoenix City.

145
00:08:38,030 --> 00:08:39,120
That is the ultimate goal

146
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,320
of Wushuang Society.

147
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,570
Take your people and go.

148
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,160
Go and save Lin Muhan.

149
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:52,170
Who's there?

150
00:09:00,870 --> 00:09:01,510
Don't run!

151
00:09:30,750 --> 00:09:31,320
Xin.

152
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,150
They ate my leg.

153
00:09:33,270 --> 00:09:34,240
They ate my leg!

154
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:35,120
Kill me!

155
00:09:35,220 --> 00:09:36,720
Quick, kill me!

156
00:09:38,630 --> 00:09:39,270
Yes.

157
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:40,760
The War Demons

158
00:09:41,270 --> 00:09:42,080
are all evil.

159
00:09:42,910 --> 00:09:44,500
You're a disciple of the immortal sect.

160
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:46,150
I am a remnant of the War Demons.

161
00:09:46,150 --> 00:09:47,150
It's only natural

162
00:09:47,550 --> 00:09:48,880
that you want to kill me.

163
00:09:57,550 --> 00:09:58,350
Go find Sheng.

164
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,080
Tell her not to take risks

165
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,880
and come back as soon as possible.

166
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,550
Don't take risks,
come back as soon as possible.

167
00:10:02,550 --> 00:10:03,120
Tell her,

168
00:10:03,670 --> 00:10:04,930
I am worried about her.

169
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,300
Worried about her.

170
00:10:06,390 --> 00:10:07,450
Worried about her.

171
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:35,270
[Phoenix City]

172
00:10:53,030 --> 00:10:53,840
Come, Lu.

173
00:10:54,420 --> 00:10:55,350
It's time to eat.

174
00:10:57,390 --> 00:10:58,030
Lu.

175
00:11:01,910 --> 00:11:02,550
Lu?

176
00:11:04,900 --> 00:11:05,550
Have your injuries

177
00:11:05,550 --> 00:11:06,630
worsened again?

178
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:08,510
Right,

179
00:11:09,150 --> 00:11:09,670
I have

180
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,720
the last two Yangyuan Pills here.

181
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:12,250
Eat them.

182
00:11:12,630 --> 00:11:13,750
You'll have strength after that.

183
00:11:13,750 --> 00:11:14,390
No need.

184
00:11:15,620 --> 00:11:16,820
What day is it today?

185
00:11:16,910 --> 00:11:17,510
Today?

186
00:11:17,820 --> 00:11:18,750
July 15th.

187
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:19,960
Oh yeah,

188
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,720
it's the Ghost Festival.

189
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:23,630
Later,

190
00:11:24,150 --> 00:11:25,300
leave the city from the west gate

191
00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:26,510
and keep walking south.

192
00:11:26,510 --> 00:11:28,370
You'll reach the inn we came from.

193
00:11:29,670 --> 00:11:30,720
Are we going back?

194
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,930
You are going back by yourself.

195
00:11:33,910 --> 00:11:35,390
You brought me here,

196
00:11:35,410 --> 00:11:36,940
and now you want me to leave?

197
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:38,290
I'm not leaving.

198
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,820
Here comes the sheep blood tofu stew.

199
00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:45,670
Let's eat.

200
00:11:46,940 --> 00:11:48,540
Enjoy your meal, gentlemen.

201
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:49,200
Lu,

202
00:11:49,670 --> 00:11:50,980
you must try this.

203
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:52,720
The sheep blood tofu stew

204
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,250
is a North Xiang specialty.

205
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,220
Phoenix City makes the
most authentic ones.

206
00:11:56,220 --> 00:11:57,750
They use fresh sheep blood.

207
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:58,540
By the way,

208
00:11:58,540 --> 00:12:00,080
I took a peek in the backyard.

209
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,740
They're using young lambs.

210
00:12:01,850 --> 00:12:02,680
Very tender.

211
00:12:07,910 --> 00:12:09,040
Why isn't it cooked?

212
00:12:09,790 --> 00:12:10,450
Attendant!

213
00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:12,670
The sheep blood isn't fully cooked!

214
00:12:12,670 --> 00:12:13,550
Come here and take a look.

215
00:12:13,550 --> 00:12:14,210
Attendant!

216
00:12:14,670 --> 00:12:15,330
Attendant!

217
00:12:22,390 --> 00:12:24,120
Hurry up and get me a cooked one.

218
00:12:24,150 --> 00:12:24,880
I am so sorry.

219
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:26,270
I will get you a new one right away.

220
00:12:26,270 --> 00:12:27,530
I will get you a new one.

221
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:33,590
Where is he?

222
00:12:45,220 --> 00:12:45,820
Qianqiao,

223
00:12:46,390 --> 00:12:48,120
your Bloodthirst is acting up.

224
00:12:48,670 --> 00:12:49,360
Mother...

225
00:12:50,250 --> 00:12:50,960
Go kill him.

226
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,270
Then you won't feel so miserable.

227
00:12:53,270 --> 00:12:54,200
You killing them

228
00:12:54,270 --> 00:12:54,840
is like them

229
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,020
slaughtering a chicken

230
00:12:56,020 --> 00:12:56,960
or a dog at will.

231
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,170
Cats catch mice,

232
00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:59,310
and humans eat meat.

233
00:12:59,310 --> 00:13:00,570
It's the law of nature.

234
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:01,680
And we

235
00:13:02,270 --> 00:13:03,790
were born to eat them.

236
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:05,480
Do it.

237
00:13:06,340 --> 00:13:07,330
Drain their blood,

238
00:13:07,330 --> 00:13:08,390
and you'll be free.

239
00:13:13,630 --> 00:13:14,120
No.

240
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:16,270
No!

241
00:13:16,410 --> 00:13:17,050
Do it.

242
00:13:17,870 --> 00:13:18,600
Do it!

243
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,150
Do it!

244
00:15:04,630 --> 00:15:05,360
You again.

245
00:15:06,780 --> 00:15:07,630
I was just wondering

246
00:15:07,630 --> 00:15:09,430
where to find you for my revenge.

247
00:15:09,740 --> 00:15:11,670
And here you've found me yourself.

248
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:12,510
Jiang Ji,

249
00:15:12,910 --> 00:15:14,510
aren't you going to stab her?

250
00:15:15,550 --> 00:15:16,410
After that day,

251
00:15:16,810 --> 00:15:18,610
I tossed and turned every night,

252
00:15:18,770 --> 00:15:20,630
worried that Senior Jin Lun
had struck too hard

253
00:15:20,630 --> 00:15:21,830
and finished you off,

254
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,240
giving you a quick death.

255
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:24,280
Fortunately,

256
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:26,340
you didn't let me down.

257
00:15:26,630 --> 00:15:28,600
You think reaching the Golden Core Stage

258
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:29,800
is enough to catch me?

259
00:15:30,630 --> 00:15:31,920
I'm not stopping there.

260
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,320
Not only will I catch you,

261
00:15:33,810 --> 00:15:34,870
but I will also lock you up,

262
00:15:34,870 --> 00:15:36,130
torture you every day,

263
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,240
and make you wish you were dead.

264
00:16:20,090 --> 00:16:20,940
It's you.

265
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:23,860
Do you know her?

266
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:25,910
She's a disciple of Xin Xie Manor.

267
00:16:25,910 --> 00:16:26,770
Sheng, I think.

268
00:16:27,340 --> 00:16:28,200
Before, in Chongling Valley,

269
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:29,130
I met her senior,

270
00:16:29,230 --> 00:16:30,320
and almost got into a fight

271
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,920
with Bai Zongying's people.

272
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:35,390
This is my senior.

273
00:16:35,910 --> 00:16:38,360
She left the mountain for errands
and hasn't returned for a long time.

274
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:39,270
You know her,

275
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:40,440
don't you?

276
00:16:41,750 --> 00:16:43,210
What's her senior's name?

277
00:16:43,230 --> 00:16:43,780
Xin Mei.

278
00:16:52,390 --> 00:16:53,850
Still won't admit defeat?

279
00:16:54,030 --> 00:16:55,290
As long as I'm not dead,

280
00:16:55,390 --> 00:16:56,390
I have not lost.

281
00:16:58,440 --> 00:16:59,670
I see.

282
00:17:01,150 --> 00:17:03,080
I didn't expect a mere Xin Xie Manor

283
00:17:03,150 --> 00:17:04,069
to stir up

284
00:17:04,069 --> 00:17:05,400
such a huge wave.

285
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:01,350
Stop.

286
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:02,110
Stop.

287
00:18:04,870 --> 00:18:05,430
Madam Wu.

288
00:18:05,700 --> 00:18:06,830
There is a girl here.

289
00:18:13,060 --> 00:18:16,960
[Madam Wu]

290
00:18:13,900 --> 00:18:15,070
She looks decent

291
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,080
and has a good figure.

292
00:18:18,550 --> 00:18:19,440
Let's take her back.

293
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:20,000
Yes.

294
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:25,000
Here.

295
00:18:25,350 --> 00:18:26,480
Boss, this way please.

296
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:27,030
Here.

297
00:18:27,550 --> 00:18:29,070
The work this time isn't that heavy.

298
00:18:29,070 --> 00:18:29,830
Once it's done,

299
00:18:29,830 --> 00:18:31,090
we'll take a good rest.

300
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:31,750
Sure.

301
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,120
When we get into the city,

302
00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:35,400
we'll find a good restaurant

303
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:36,750
and have a good drink.

304
00:18:37,070 --> 00:18:37,870
That's great.

305
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:39,030
Here.

306
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:39,680
Okay.

307
00:18:40,830 --> 00:18:41,960
I'll treat you then.

308
00:18:42,790 --> 00:18:43,680
Sure.

309
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,090
When did you arrive?

310
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:47,520
A few days ago.

311
00:18:49,510 --> 00:18:50,960
What took you guys so long?

312
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,820
We got new information
right before we set off.

313
00:18:52,820 --> 00:18:54,260
Those demonic cultivators

314
00:18:54,260 --> 00:18:55,010
split into 3 groups

315
00:18:55,010 --> 00:18:56,590
while heading for Phoenix City.

316
00:18:56,590 --> 00:18:57,310
So we had no choice but to

317
00:18:57,310 --> 00:18:59,310
split into 3 groups to go after them.

318
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,240
Senior Bai led the Tianyuan Sect,

319
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,480
Jiang Ji and I moved together,

320
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:04,880
and Lin Muhan went alone.

321
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,080
Lin Muhan went alone?

322
00:19:07,270 --> 00:19:09,070
You were supposed to go with him,

323
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,110
but your Master said
you had already hit the road.

324
00:19:11,110 --> 00:19:12,030
So we made a temporary arrangement

325
00:19:12,030 --> 00:19:13,090
for him to go alone.

326
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,290
We don't expect him to succeed anyway.

327
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:16,460
It doesn't matter.

328
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,270
We have already succeeded

329
00:19:18,270 --> 00:19:20,460
and eliminated
all the demonic cultivators.

330
00:19:20,460 --> 00:19:21,460
Senior Bai's side

331
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,070
probably won't have any problems either.

332
00:19:23,070 --> 00:19:25,160
Didn't they say
it was enough to capture them?

333
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,350
You killed them all?

334
00:19:27,070 --> 00:19:28,880
Wushuang Society
is not to be trifled with.

335
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,140
They had experts, too.

336
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:31,540
Capturing them

337
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:32,810
was not an easy task.

338
00:19:33,550 --> 00:19:34,310
What's more,

339
00:19:35,550 --> 00:19:37,400
they were all demonic cultivators.

340
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:38,240
It's not a pity

341
00:19:39,310 --> 00:19:40,440
killing them at all.

342
00:19:42,510 --> 00:19:43,370
One more thing.

343
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,100
The female cultivator in the capital

344
00:19:46,110 --> 00:19:46,880
is Xin Mei.

345
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:48,510
How do you know?

346
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,330
We met that woman again.

347
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:51,110
Who?

348
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:52,700
The one who stopped

349
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,380
Nangong and me on our way here.

350
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,000
She is also a disciple of Xin Xie Manor,

351
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:56,780
named Sheng.

352
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,890
The senior she was looking for before

353
00:19:58,890 --> 00:19:59,650
was Xin Mei.

354
00:20:00,290 --> 00:20:01,240
You fought her?

355
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:02,960
Yes.

356
00:20:03,570 --> 00:20:04,330
How is she?

357
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:10,960
I mean,

358
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:12,790
she is quite skilled

359
00:20:12,790 --> 00:20:14,070
and has high cultivation.

360
00:20:14,070 --> 00:20:15,070
Are you guys okay?

361
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:16,140
We are fine.

362
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,400
Last time, she played some tricks.

363
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:19,860
This time, we met head-on.

364
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,960
Jiang Ji's cultivation has improved too.

365
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,550
She had no chance to hurt her.

366
00:20:23,550 --> 00:20:25,400
I am already at the Golden Core Stage.

367
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,530
So you captured her?

368
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,200
Where did you put her?

369
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:30,860
You killed her?

370
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:31,510
Yes.

371
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,650
Just as she was about to escape,

372
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,900
Jiang Ji struck her
with her sword from afar.

373
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,310
But we didn't find

374
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:40,330
her body either.

375
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,340
Your sword pierced her chest.

376
00:20:42,350 --> 00:20:43,720
In this vast desert,

377
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,060
where could she

378
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:46,770
possibly escape to?

379
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,050
She won't live long.

380
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:32,310

when the child was born,

00:28:13,420 --> 00:28:14,830
Call the manager here.

572
00:28:15,170 --> 00:28:16,430
I have some questions.

573
00:28:20,670 --> 00:28:21,400
Sir,

574
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,180
are you here for Yaoniang?

575
00:28:25,070 --> 00:28:26,200
You are smart, Miss.

576
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:30,550
Then I can't help you

577
00:28:30,550 --> 00:28:31,550
with this favor.

578
00:28:32,270 --> 00:28:32,920
Look.

579
00:28:33,580 --> 00:28:35,440
All the gentlemen in this building

580
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:36,880
are here for Yaoniang.

581
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:38,880
Everyone is offering money

582
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,340
to see her ahead of others.

583
00:28:41,060 --> 00:28:42,340
But Yaoniang can't receive

584
00:28:42,340 --> 00:28:43,200
so many people.

585
00:28:43,570 --> 00:28:44,830
Please wait a little longer.

586
00:28:44,830 --> 00:28:45,830
If you feel bored,

587
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,110
you can find other girls

588
00:28:47,110 --> 00:28:48,370
to drink wine with you.

589
00:28:56,070 --> 00:28:57,860
I just want to ask a few questions.

590
00:28:57,860 --> 00:28:59,260
How long do I have to wait?

591
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:00,750
Looking at this situation,

592
00:29:00,750 --> 00:29:02,160
you'd be lucky to see her by the

593
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:03,270
first watch, and speak to her

594
00:29:03,270 --> 00:29:04,030
by the third.

595
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:11,240
Friend,

596
00:29:11,610 --> 00:29:14,340
is this your first time
at Tianxiang Restaurant?

597
00:29:14,830 --> 00:29:16,030
Please enlighten me.

598
00:29:17,110 --> 00:29:18,720
Yaoniang is Tianxiang Restaurant's

599
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:19,960
most famous dancer.

600
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,880
Her Huxuan dance
is famous all over North Xiang.

601
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,270
Although she is from a brothel,

602
00:29:24,270 --> 00:29:25,610
she is pure

603
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,040
and never sells her body.

604
00:29:27,270 --> 00:29:28,130
Half a year ago,

605
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,680
Lord Qian, the magistrate of Phoenix City,

606
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:31,740
took a fancy to her.

607
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,030
Lord Qian

608
00:29:33,550 --> 00:29:34,960
is already 60 years old.

609
00:29:35,750 --> 00:29:38,240
He has a fierce wife at home,

610
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,100
but still wants to take
Yaoniang as a concubine.

611
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:43,880
He's using his power to oppress people,

612
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:44,960
forcibly take a civilian lady,

613
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,350
all to make her a concubine.

614
00:29:46,350 --> 00:29:47,510
How shameless.

615
00:29:47,930 --> 00:29:49,530
But Yaoniang didn't want to.

616
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,790
She said she already had a sweetheart

617
00:29:51,790 --> 00:29:53,830
and would marry him soon.

618
00:29:54,190 --> 00:29:55,120
Lord Qian

619
00:29:55,310 --> 00:29:56,710
didn't want to force her.

620
00:29:57,030 --> 00:29:58,630
He gave Yaoniang half a year.

621
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,100
If she really got married,

622
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:01,510
he'd let it be.

623
00:30:01,790 --> 00:30:02,880
If not,

624
00:30:03,510 --> 00:30:05,240
she'd have to be his concubine.

625
00:30:06,110 --> 00:30:07,590
Now the 6 months are up,

626
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,090
but Yaoniang is still not married.

627
00:30:11,110 --> 00:30:11,920
We thought

628
00:30:12,550 --> 00:30:14,680
Lord Qian would take her as a concubine

629
00:30:14,750 --> 00:30:15,750
for sure.

630
00:30:16,270 --> 00:30:17,160
Unexpectedly,

631
00:30:17,550 --> 00:30:20,110
Tianxiang Restaurant suddenly announced

632
00:30:20,510 --> 00:30:22,880
a flower-viewing event.

633
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:24,240
Yaoniang

634
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,400
will be retiring with her new
Luanxue Dance at the event.

635
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:27,960
See,

636
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,960
the wealthy flower-viewers in the city

637
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:32,440
are all gathered here

638
00:30:32,510 --> 00:30:33,650
just to catch a glimpse

639
00:30:33,650 --> 00:30:35,540
of the top dancer in North Xiang.

640
00:30:39,510 --> 00:30:40,160
Friend.

641
00:30:40,830 --> 00:30:42,290
If you also like Yaoniang,

642
00:30:42,750 --> 00:30:43,880
you can also make an offer

643
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,110
and join the bidding.

644
00:30:46,070 --> 00:30:47,670
As long as your offer is high,

645
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,380
you will have a chance tonight

646
00:30:49,830 --> 00:30:52,310
to have a good chat with her all night.

647
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:11,780
Thank you, friend.

648
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:26,960
Isn't that the boy from Lingji Mountain?

649
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:27,960
Why is he here too?

650
00:31:28,750 --> 00:31:29,880
What a coincidence.

651
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:38,260
Keep an eye on her.

652
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,280
Today is Yaoniang's big day.

653
00:31:40,410 --> 00:31:41,600
Don't let her run away or get lost

654
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:42,660
and cause trouble.

655
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:44,130
After today,

656
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,830
we can take our time disciplining her.

657
00:31:45,830 --> 00:31:46,630
Rest assured.

658
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:48,480
If you do well,

659
00:31:48,770 --> 00:31:50,010
you will be rewarded.

660
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:17,680
Where is my sword?

661
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:19,540
It's so lively outside,

662
00:32:19,540 --> 00:32:21,400
but we have to guard the door here.

663
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,030
I also want to see Yaoniang's dance.

664
00:32:23,030 --> 00:32:23,690
Enough.

665
00:32:23,850 --> 00:32:24,640
Making you guard here

666
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:25,640
is not a bad thing.

667
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:26,720
The young lady inside

668
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:27,780
has a great figure.

669
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:28,750
I'm telling you,

670
00:32:28,750 --> 00:32:30,010
Madam Wu values her very much.

671
00:32:30,010 --> 00:32:31,160
She wants to make her
the new top courtesan

672
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:32,490
after Yaoniang leaves.

673
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:37,480
You...

674
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,200
Shut up if you don't want to die.

675
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:40,200
I have a question.

676
00:32:40,270 --> 00:32:42,400
Answer well, and I'll spare your life.

677
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,700
I said I just wanted to
ask you a question.

678
00:33:02,310 --> 00:33:03,710
What are you waiting for?

679
00:33:03,830 --> 00:33:04,650
Are we still

680
00:33:04,830 --> 00:33:06,090
looking for Yaoniang?

681
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:14,490
What's the matter, Sir?

682
00:33:15,210 --> 00:33:16,590
When Yaoniang appears later,

683
00:33:16,590 --> 00:33:17,550
how should I bid?

684
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:19,750
Peonies are 50 taels each.

685
00:33:19,750 --> 00:33:20,810
Roses are 20 taels.

686
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,920
The rest are 10 taels each.

687
00:33:23,590 --> 00:33:25,350
Sir, you can exchange money for flowers.

688
00:33:25,350 --> 00:33:26,960
When the ladies appear later,

689
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,030
if you see someone you like,

690
00:33:28,030 --> 00:33:28,920
you can put the flowers

691
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,270
in the basket in front.

692
00:33:31,070 --> 00:33:32,330
The type and number of flowers

693
00:33:32,330 --> 00:33:33,650
represent the bid.

694
00:33:34,110 --> 00:33:35,450
Today, besides Yaoniang,

695
00:33:35,450 --> 00:33:37,380
there are other ladies dancing too.

696
00:33:37,380 --> 00:33:39,290
Sir, you have many choices.

697
00:33:42,790 --> 00:33:43,440
Here.

698
00:33:45,450 --> 00:33:47,840
100 taels is indeed a lot,

699
00:33:48,100 --> 00:33:49,360
but for this occasion,

700
00:33:49,450 --> 00:33:51,160
I'm afraid it won't win the bid.

701
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,220
If you don't want to join the fun, Sir,

702
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,660
100 taels is enough to find someone else.

703
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:57,110
For example,

704
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:58,680
me.

705
00:33:59,390 --> 00:34:00,970
I'd be very happy to dance for you,

706
00:34:00,970 --> 00:34:01,830
even for free.

707
00:34:01,830 --> 00:34:02,680
Here.

708
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:06,540
Thank you, Sir.

709
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:10,400
I say,

710
00:34:11,150 --> 00:34:12,330
if Su Taiyi knew

711
00:34:12,350 --> 00:34:13,480
the money he left you

712
00:34:13,500 --> 00:34:14,630
was spent like this,

713
00:34:14,980 --> 00:34:15,679
he'd be

714
00:34:15,710 --> 00:34:16,909
rolling in his grave.

715
00:34:21,590 --> 00:34:22,190
Yaoniang.

716
00:34:22,530 --> 00:34:23,790
Why are you still here?

717
00:34:23,949 --> 00:34:24,889
The event is about to start.

718
00:34:24,889 --> 00:34:25,920
Go and prepare.

719
00:34:36,510 --> 00:34:37,110
Yaoniang,

720
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:38,050
listen to me.

721
00:34:38,670 --> 00:34:39,800
So you finally came.

722
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:41,440
I thought you were scared

723
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:42,969
of that old man's authority

724
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:44,650
and didn't dare come for me.

725
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:45,800
Yes.

726
00:34:46,260 --> 00:34:47,659
I really was scared then.

727
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,230
But I'm not scared anymore.

728
00:34:49,230 --> 00:34:50,150
I'll take you away.

729
00:34:50,150 --> 00:34:51,150
We'll leave North Xiang,

730
00:34:51,150 --> 00:34:51,670
flee far away,

731
00:34:51,670 --> 00:34:52,800
and never come back.

732
00:34:57,670 --> 00:34:58,930
I didn't see anything.

733
00:35:00,630 --> 00:35:01,230
Thank you.

734
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:02,000
Let's go.

735
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:15,070
It's starting.

736
00:35:15,070 --> 00:35:16,870
Yuniang, please go on the stage.

737
00:35:36,590 --> 00:35:37,850
Which one is Yaoniang?

738
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:39,740
You don't know?

739
00:35:40,230 --> 00:35:42,030
Naturally, I don't know either.

740
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:51,360
Better to reward the wrong one

741
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:52,230
than miss the right one.

742
00:35:52,230 --> 00:35:52,910
How about

743
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:54,500
we hang it up first?

744
00:36:22,180 --> 00:36:26,700
Nice!

745
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,590
Nice!

746
00:36:29,710 --> 00:36:30,880
Nice!

747
00:36:31,110 --> 00:36:33,150
Nice!

748
00:36:33,250 --> 00:36:33,840
So nice.

749
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,000
So nice.

750
00:36:47,670 --> 00:36:48,730
Such a great dance.

751
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,400
Nice!

752
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:52,630
So nice.

753
00:36:53,630 --> 00:36:54,700
Absolutely wonderful.

754
00:36:54,700 --> 00:36:56,090
Nice!

755
00:36:57,070 --> 00:36:58,400
This one looks like her.

756
00:36:59,150 --> 00:36:59,840
This one?

757
00:37:12,030 --> 00:37:14,400
Second floor, Chuan Room—Mr. Lu

758
00:37:14,540 --> 00:37:15,890
has bid 500 taels

759
00:37:16,270 --> 00:37:18,640
for a private meeting with Yuniang

760
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:20,820
to enjoy a graceful dance

761
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,840
beneath the flowers and moonlight!

762
00:37:24,110 --> 00:37:26,510
Nice!

763
00:37:28,670 --> 00:37:29,590
Yuniang?

764
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,150
This isn't Yaoniang.

765
00:37:33,150 --> 00:37:34,150
What should we do?

766
00:37:35,590 --> 00:37:36,650
What else can we do?

767
00:37:37,110 --> 00:37:38,370
Keep hanging rewards.

768
00:37:48,370 --> 00:37:49,300
Why are you here?

769
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:51,200
Do you know me?

770
00:37:54,710 --> 00:37:56,310
Why do you look so familiar?

771
00:37:59,630 --> 00:38:00,230
Forget it.

772
00:38:00,670 --> 00:38:01,870
That doesn't matter.

773
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:03,480
Do you drink wine?

774
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:18,590
Come, let's drink.

775
00:38:18,710 --> 00:38:19,280
Come on.

776
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:20,440
Come on.

777
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:21,510
Drink up.

778
00:38:22,190 --> 00:38:23,090
This trip is totally worth it.

779
00:38:23,090 --> 00:38:23,840
Yeah.

780
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:24,590
Eat, eat.

781
00:38:24,740 --> 00:38:26,260
Tonight is really worth it.

782
00:38:26,260 --> 00:38:26,780
Nice!

783
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:28,230
Decisive.

784
00:38:28,510 --> 00:38:29,230
What a beautiful figure.

785
00:38:29,230 --> 00:38:29,960
Cheers.

786
00:38:55,070 --> 00:38:55,690
Yaoniang.

787
00:38:55,790 --> 00:38:57,280
Why are you here drinking?

788
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:58,390
Come with me, quick.

789
00:38:58,390 --> 00:38:59,650
You are going on stage.

790
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:07,590
Come on.

791
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:08,860
Keep drinking.

792
00:39:11,980 --> 00:39:14,310
Where's the lady who was drinking with me?

793
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:16,190
Sir,

794
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,000
do you want more wine?

795
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:18,960
No need.

796
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,080
Sir, you act as if

797
00:39:22,110 --> 00:39:24,190
you've never held a lady's hand before.

798
00:39:24,190 --> 00:39:25,290
Why so shy?

799
00:39:26,070 --> 00:39:26,590
Friend.

800
00:39:27,210 --> 00:39:29,210
If you waste your luck with the lady,

801
00:39:29,220 --> 00:39:30,850
you'll be cursed by heaven.

802
00:39:36,710 --> 00:39:37,230
Friend,

803
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,720
your target, Yaoniang, is here.

804
00:39:40,710 --> 00:39:42,440
Why didn't you tell us earlier?

805
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:43,800
Everyone here

806
00:39:44,140 --> 00:39:45,500
is after Yaoniang.

807
00:39:46,100 --> 00:39:47,560
You guys are rich and powerful.

808
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:48,960
I can't compete with you.

809
00:39:49,110 --> 00:39:50,040
So I might as well

810
00:39:50,110 --> 00:39:51,770
let you bid on a few more ladies

811
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,330
and deplete your money.

812
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:54,590
Friend,

813
00:39:55,150 --> 00:39:57,190
you're using the
Thirty-Six Stratagems here?

814
00:39:57,190 --> 00:39:58,450
That's playing dirty.

815
00:40:21,030 --> 00:40:21,670
Yaoniang,

816
00:40:21,970 --> 00:40:22,960
why aren't you dancing?

817
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,110
Yeah, why not?

818
00:40:24,590 --> 00:40:26,960
Dance, dance, Yaoniang!

819
00:40:28,190 --> 00:40:29,230
Dance!

820
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:30,760
Dance!

821
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:32,680
Sir.

822
00:40:34,190 --> 00:40:34,920
No, thanks.

823
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:37,900
Hurry up and dance!

824
00:40:38,340 --> 00:40:39,270
Hurry up!
