[Ever Night]

[Episode 58]

Why can't I do this yet?

Still one last bit.

The last bit.

(Heaven Book - Sand Volume)

7th-Senior Sister gave me this hanky.

It's a pity.

I saved your life before.

Now you saved mine, we're even.

Mm. Sounds fair.

Deal.

(Academy copies of theory of Haoran Sword)

- What's this for? - I want you to teach her.

I know you're Dao Addict, knowledgeable in Xiling skills.

Sang Sang is Grandmaster of Light's heir, and should learn a little.

You want to learn?

Sang Sang is Light's heir.

Light's heritage is a form of memory.

Before Grand Priest died, he planted his spirit in her heart.

The more she's enlightened, the more she'll sense it.

You may not know Sang Sang, since young, had internal chill.

Whenever it flares, her body is icy cold and stiff.

It's very painful.

But since she became Wei Guangming's student,

she learned Divine Skill, which improved her chill.

But you see, even in summer, her feet are icy.

So—

So you'd rather miss the chance to study world's best,

Liu Bai's Grand River Sword,

in exchange for the Academy's Haoran Sword Skill,

just to warm your maid's feet?

Right?

Young Master, let's forget it?

- It sounds wrong. - No.

Nothing matters more than curing your chill.

Let me try.

Before she becomes Grand Priest of Light,

Xiling is obliged to teach her.

Hurry, say thanks.

Thanks, Miss Ye.

Thanks, Young Master.

I'll go make you both fried egg noodles.

Ye Hongyu, thank you.

Wait.

I never accept rejection.

What I give out, even if you die, you must accept.

Teaching Divine Skill to Sang Sang repays my room and food.

I've been waiting for my opportunity.

I trust Abbot.

When he revived me at South Sea,

he sent me to the Abbey, regarded by all Cultivators as holy.

This itself is an opportunity.

I do chores in the Abbey.

I work hard for that man.

Why? Why?!

The first day you came in, I told you–

You're just rubbish.

If I'm rubbish, then Abbot wouldn't send me here.

And he wouldn't let me see a strange old man like you.

- But you're a waste. - You're also a waste!

Even if I'm rubbish now,

no way I'll always be useless.

You're insulted by me, harmed by my Qi, yet come in.

Why?

Because...

I don't want to give up.

I want to defeat Ning Que.

That guy stole my place at Academy Second Floor.

All that I've lost, I will regain.

Look at your eyes. You've been practising Grey Eye skill.

You want a chance to absorb my power?

You want to take a wrong path, but aren't cruel enough.

I admit I studied Grey Eye.

But I never thought of harming you.

Do you know how you're inferior to Academy Mister 13?

You have a firm will, keen learning,

ambition, tactical ideas, tenacity,

and some ruthlessness.

You seem to have the makings of a hero.

But know why I still call you rubbish?

You can't beat him.

Please clarify.

Because you're thin-skinned.

In other words, you seem to keep your pride as Prince.

But you don't understand, to be the best Cultivator,

know exactly when to abandon pride.

Sink yourself in the mud

to be successful.

I do not think I have

any pride left.

Even though you've kneeled before me many times,

in your heart you stood up.

Has Ning Que no pride of his own?

I've never seen Ning Que.

But I know, to get what he wants, he'll do whatever it takes.

Come on.

If you'd knelt on the first day

and begged me to pass you half my power,

I would have helped you.

It's impossible. Surely impossible.

It's impossible. No way.

Stop pretending.

Your pride covers your greed.

You're insincere and cheap in a callous world.

Only if you're truly powerful,

others acknowledge your pride.

That's true pride.

You've reminded me of many events,

many people, many things I lost.

You know who cut me in two?

Your Cultivation had surpassed Five Realms into Sainthood.

What could defeat you.

Back then, Lian Sheng made a plan to exterminate all Demon Sect.

I posed as Demon Sect dregs, went to Lan-ke,

and helped him kill Ke Haoran's wife.

I didn't think Ke Haoran would find out.

He cut me in half.

Crazy Ke!

I will tear you to pieces!

I'll destroy the whole Academy!

Elder, Ke Haoran is dead.

Twenty years ago, Ke Haoran died.

He entered Demon Sect alone and eliminated them

and was smote by God.

Smote by God?

He died? How could he die?

The rest of my life, I must stay in this cave, crawling like a bug.

I've become a bottomless wreck.

I suffered so much, how could he die on me?

A strong person will pursue power

at any cost to be great.

To pay the cost of chasing power,

abandon emotion or viewpoints.

All pride and faith must be thrown away.

And Heaven?

Those Academy people are so powerful

because they have no faith and no rules.

In their eyes, Heaven is crap.

If you want to beat that Academy guy,

be like them, with no faith or rules.

Learn from them; see Heaven as crap.

Let go.

No. Heaven is all places, all knowing.

Everything is controlled by Heaven.

Our will is Heaven's Will.

Your chest was pierced by your foe.

Your heart is gone. Where is your will?

I believe in Heaven.

My Life Item is peach blossom.

Abbot mended my heart with peach blossom.

I ask you, what's your heart's greatest desire?

I want Heaven's Light to fill the world.

Wrong!

I want to defeat Ning Que!

Wrong!

I want to destroy the Academy and Tang Empire!

Your eyes are too black and white.

Come.

Don't you need the last bit?

I will transfer half my power

into your body

for your wish.

For me, destroy the Academy.

Come quickly. It's your last chance.

Come. Quickly come.

Come.

Give me your hand.

Hold it to mine.

That's right.

Absorb it.

(Sand Volume)

Absorb it.

- More. - Even more.

A bit more!

How dare you!

Evil glutton!

You can only have what I give you.

Since it has begun, why stop here?

I've had this much already.

Why not have more?

You can see it as Heaven's Will.

You really think I'd help you revive?

You're just rubbish! You'll always be useless!

You're wrong.

This time, I will have Heaven's spirit.

Long Qing will once again

stand on top of the world!

Impossible.

Why? Why does Heaven allow you to break the limit?

Why would Heaven leave you, a useless wretch, here?

Heaven's Will can't be understood by us ordinary people.

We only need to accept and praise it.

In the last moment, I wanted all your power.

Heaven heard my call

so you must offer all of yourself to me.

No!

You can't refuse.

This is Heaven's guidance.

But I'll die.

You've suffered for decades.

Dying in my hands today will be a relief.

Before you die, give your all to me.

Your death is worthy.

Rest in peace.

Why did you run?

Then why do you stay?

I must meet Mister 13.

If he really is General Lin Guangyuan's son,

he could be what Grand Priest of Light said–

King of Hades' Child.

You believe such rumours?

As Xiling's Wayfarer,

I must take a look.

Your deserting Peach Mountain disloyally is not bad.

- I didn't desert. - Right. You didn't desert the Dao.

You're Ye Hongyu.

Even if everyone betrays the Dao, you won't.

I don't care about Hierarch.

But you belong to Xiling. One day, you'll return.

I hope you surpass me.

You must prove it.

I'll let you see proof.

Also, I know why you provoked Junior Bro to leave the Abbey.

But it was wrong.

The Abbey should be yours.

Say it again.

Brother.

You're Abbot's trusted student.

Only you are qualified to be successor.

Back then, I did nothing.

Yes, it seemed you did nothing.

You just told him, if he stayed,

Abbot will pass him the Seal of successorship.

[Zhi Shou Abbey]

Chen Pipi. I have a question.

What is it?

Do you think you're a better candidate for Abbotship

or my brother?

Of...of course Senior Ye Qing is.

Senior surpasses me in everything. I admire him.

If Abbot insists on his son as successor, what to do?

Can you reject it?

I...

I...

I've something to do. I gotta go out.

I'm going.

Pipi believed it and left the Abbey that night.

And joined Academy Second Floor.

That's his choice.

Pipi is pure.

He admires me.

He wanted his father to pass his legacy to me, not him.

You told him that, to make him leave the Abbey!

You used his kindness and his respect for me. You know?

So what?

You!

Ye Hongyu, you're my sister. Don't force me to kill you.

Brother, I believe that one day,

you will be Abbot.

I will see it.

[Ning Residence]

Young Master.

Grand River Sword.

Why are you sweating a lot?

[Zhi Shou Abbey]

Stop.

Long Qing, do you know stealing Heaven Book is wicked?

What's more, you stole the treasured Divine Pill.

Senior Uncle, do you believe this world has

Hades' Son?

You!

I killed the Half-man Daoist.

I can be proud of everything.

From now on, I am Xiling's most powerful Cultivator.

Only I can kill Hades' Son.

Just a little Pill and reading a book are nothing.

Long Qing, since you acted openly, why are you fleeing?

Abbot sent you here to Cultivate, not to steal.

How can an ordinary man like you comprehend Heaven's Will?

Long Qing, I don't understand.

What did you experience?

You made a mistake but make out you're right.

Give me the Pill!

Senior Uncle.

Have you seen poor kids fight over candies?

When in the Palace, I didn't understand it.

After I became a beggar and slogged for you,

I finally understood.

The fought over candy wasn't easy to get.

So one should never give it up.

Long Qing.

Do you know it was all Abbot's plan to train your mind?

Abbot asked you people to make me suffer?

If it wasn't for him,

how could we order around his personal disciple?

It's a pity Abbot misjudged you.

I...also misjudged you.

Long Qing, give me the Pill!

Come.

I consumed the Divine Pill.

Even if you kill me now, the Pill can't be retrieved.

You entered Knowing Destiny.

Senior Uncle.

Letting me stay alive is your best choice.

Long Qing, I admire your tenacity.

But you forgot, if everyone disobeys rules,

Xiling won't last milennia.

Senior Uncle. I'm here.

Long Qing.

Light won't be extinguished.

Heavenly God is everlasting.

Don't pursue him. Let him go.

As he didn't die,

maybe he's the one Dao Sect has been seeking.

Let him go.

Yes, Abbot.

Light won't be extinguished.

Heavenly God is everlasting.

[Ning Residence]

How's Sang Sang doing?

Do you know her potential is high for Cultivation?

I know it's high, but don't know how high.

Very high.

So high, if I were you, I'd die of shame.

I'm not some girl robbed of her chastity.

Why would I die of shame?

After everything ends,

I myself will kill you.

If it causes war between Tang and Xiling, I don't care.

What did I do to you?

You eat my food.

Don't talk of killing and dying around Sang Sang.

Young Master, you called me?

No, no, no.

Good girl. Keep practising.

I'll give it back.

At my level, I only understood to a point.

Even if I keep looking, it won't matter.

Knowing your own limits,

you resist this Sword's temptation and avoid greed.

I admit your frame of mind is rare.

But I'm still outside Knowing Destiny.

Xia Hou broke the limit.

He reached Wu Dao apex, and entered Knowing Destiny.

Cultivators can't beat someone a level above.

But we beat Lian Sheng.

Don't forget, he was confined for 23 years.

Our victory was merely luck.

A few days ago, geese rested by the lake.

Now they've flown south.

Spring goes,

summer comes,

autumn returns.

Winter arrives.

This battle should begin soon.

I want a favour from you.

If I die, please take care of Sang Sang.

Your life is mine.

No-one but me can take it.

Why do you always want to kill me?

Why do I shelter someone who wants to kill me all the time?

I've thought about it.

So I've decided, if we ever become enemies,

I can spare your life.

But only once.

Sang Sang is Daughter of Light.

Protecting her is my duty.

Thank you.

Why can't you admit your crime?

For the world's people, I did nothing wrong.

- You still won't say it. - Then defeat me.

Impossible. I had the advantage.

You forgot what Fu Zi said?

That sword you own is nothing but garbage.

Brother, what will you do to me?

In Tianqi Year One,

did you bribe Censor Zhang Yuqi,

document appraiser, Yan Suqing, and Deputy-General Chen Zixian,

to fake evidence of General Lin committing treason?

Yes.

Did you collude with Grand Priest of Light

and Great General, Xia Hou,

to murder General Lin's household?

Yes.

Then tell me,

what shall I do to you?

Brother!

Fu Zi said, correct one's mistakes.

I committed that bloody crime for the world's people.

Brother.

- Ever Night is coming. - Ever Night is coming?

Even if Ever Night truly approaches,

I'd never collude with others to kill innocents.

A real man will die with honour.

He'll never believe crap legends in order to live.
