(Episode 1)

(Cultivators are well-respected in the world.)

(Jingyun Sect is the leading sect of all cultivation sects.)

(And I, Li Qing Yue, have joined the sect for 11 years.)

(Even so, I'm still an unnoticed gatekeeping disciple.)

(According to the storybooks, )

(if you don't give in, you'll be blessed with a chance.)

(I'm sure I'll be the leading disciple of the sect one day.)

(No longer will I be playing the background in someone else's tale.)

Wake up early tomorrow and train.

You're my lead disciple.

You're the eldest senior disciple among 3,000 of them.

You're the next sect leader that our sect had spent much to nurture.

But you forsook your cultivation,

colluded with demons,

and was infatuated with a demoness of the Yinlian Sect.

Do you know your fault?

I do not.

You vile fool!

Chu!

Meng Chu has colluded with an evil sect and broken our sect's rules.

I'm going to cleanse our sect today!

Martial Senior.

Do you think Meng Chu truly colluded with a demoness?

Do not gossip about others behind their backs.

Focus on your duty.

Who dares to intrude upon the Jingyun Sect?

Qing Yue?

- Are you okay? - Yeah.

I'll ring the bell. Go back and hide.

Old fool, I tolerated you time and time again

as you were Chu's master.

But you kept cornering him without any mercy.

Now, I'll show you

the power of a demoness!

Man!

Stop this!

Chu, I'll take you with me right now.

Come with me.

Be careful. Stay here.

Understood.

Martial Senior!

Yun'e!

Qing Yue!

Qing Yue.

Qing Yue?

Martial Senior.

Martial Senior.

Qing Yue?

Qing Yue?

Wake up.

You're awake.

Jiang Bian?

Come.

Sit upright.

How is it? Do you feel better?

If so, you should resume your gatekeeping duty.

It's your turn today.

What's with that reaction? Stop sitting there.

Just go already.

Bian, I'm seriously wounded.

I don't think I can resume my duty.

What should I do, then?

If you cannot do it, I'll have to replace you.

Bian, sorry about that.

Why am I so unlucky?

Didn't Master Dan Yang already treat your wound? Why are you still wounded?

Don't worry about it too much.

I'm sure you'll recover quickly since Master has tended to your wound.

You'll be able to resume your duty next time.

Bian, can you do me a favor...

You want me to tell you about the demoness, right?

Our sect leader had chased her away.

Who does she think she is? How dare she stir up trouble at my sect?

She has severely overestimated her abilities.

But Meng Chu is in huge trouble.

I'm afraid he'll face severe punishments.

- I... - Do you know

what weapon the demoness was wielding back then?

It's called the Purple Moon Curved Sword.

It was forged by Fan Jiao Jiao of Huangyan House, Mount Niuyang.

You know who Fan Jiao Jiao is, right?

He was the cultivator who ascended to the Heavenly Realm 200 years ago.

I heard from his disciples

that he appeared in his junior's dream

upon his ascension.

He said that he's the disciple of the Venerable Grandmaster now.

- Can you do me a favor... - Listen.

The Venerable Grandmaster isn't any ordinary simpleton.

- I'm thirsty. - His power knows no bounds.

That's not it. I'm just thirsty...

As for you, you should rest well.

I have other things to attend to.

Find me if you need anything.

I have to go. You don't need to see me off.

Bian?

Bian!

Guan, I'm Li Qing Yue, Qing Yang's disciple.

I was accidentally injured by the demoness yesterday.

My internal organs were damaged.

When I went to retrieve my medicine from the pill room,

the senior who was on duty said that you were the best with such injuries.

He told me to get a diagnosis from you.

Only then will I be able to retrieve my medicine.

Guan.

Guan?

Guan!

Do you need anything?

Yes, I do. I'm wounded. I need you to give me a diagnosis.

- Wounded? - That's right.

You have a point.

Chu is trapped at the Altar of Ascension.

He's exposed to the elements, and he has suffered so much.

I wonder if his old wounds have reopened.

Seems like Sect Leader won't entertain my request.

It's pointless for me to kneel here.

It's better for me to visit him

and keep him company.

Guan?

Guan!

Master has already treated your wounds.

If you still feel unwell,

head to Mount Xiaoqiu and gather some Gold Essence Grass.

I quit. Okay?

My goodness! What's that?

It has nothing to do with me. I don't know either.

(That can't be.)

(Qing Yue is still sick and bedridden.)

Mr. Celestial, save me! I can't swim!

Mr. Celestial, were you the caster of the divine light that had saved me?

Watch out!

Are you okay?

That monkey is vicious.

It hurls pebbles with a vengeance.

You have to be careful.

(Is she a mortal?)

I didn't mean to take advantage of you.

Who are you?

I'm Li Qing Yue of Jingyun Sect, Mount Yufan.

Mr. Celestial, may I know your name?

Bai Jiu

Si.

Mr. Bai, thank you for saving me today.

I did that because I was worried that the monkey might hurt you.

Please forgive me.

Is there nothing else you wish to say to me?

What should I say?

I understand. I'll be responsible for you.

Be responsible for me?

Wait for one day. I'll find you again tomorrow.

Li Qing

Yue.

(Was that a chance encounter granted by the heavens?)

What are you eating?

The herbs I gathered.

You should read less books about lovebirds in the future.

Martial Senior?

What is it?

I have something to ask you.

Do you know how much the bride price usually costs?

You're thinking of getting married instead of cultivating, huh?

That's not it.

I'm just curious.

A bride price usually represents the groom's token of appreciation.

There's no fixed amount set by society.

You don't need to worry about it yet at this stage.

Bai Jiu Si!

Are you here?

Bai Jiu Si!

What is this?

This is all of the assets I have.

All of my valuables are inside.

But why?

It's my bride price for you.

I know it's not a lot.

But I swear to the heavens

that this is all I have.

I didn't hide anything else.

Why are you giving them to me?

To be responsible for you.

Yue.

I wonder if truth ever passes your lips.

That was an intimate nickname.

I admit. You're very handsome.

I'm quite captivated by your looks.

But according to the books, chastity is important for both genders.

Since I've kissed you,

I must take responsibility for your reputation.

Who exactly are you?

I'm so forgetful.

I forgot to introduce my family background.

I live at the foot of Mount Yufan.

When I was young, my parents died due to a disaster.

I joined Jingyun Sect when I was eight years old.

It has been 11 years since then.

Currently, I'm a gatekeeping disciple.

If you detest my lowly status and don't need me to take responsibility,

I won't force you.

I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do.

You get to make the call here.

It's fine.

It's fine if you don't want it.

If so, I'll head back first.

I accept them.

Let's go.

Are you following me back to Jingyun Sect?

I've accepted your bride price.

Naturally, I'm yours now.

What's wrong?

Are you not willing to let me follow you back?

You see, our sect doesn't like us taking in outsiders.

Why don't you head home first? You can notify your parents as well...

I'm parentless.

I'm kinless as well.

That's fine.

From now on, I'll stay by your side.

Usually, I live alone. Therefore, my room isn't that formal.

Give me a second. I'll clean it up.

Qing Yue.

Qing Yue, you're on duty today.

You're already late.

Understood, Martial Senior.

You can head there first. I'll go after getting changed.

He...

Am I such a disgrace?

That's not it.

I can't afford to let anyone know that I'm keeping you here.

But why?

I'll be honest with you.

Our sect leader is already heartbroken

as Chu had a relationship with a demoness.

At this moment, I can't afford to let him find out.

Since that's the case,

why did you give me the bride price, then?

Initially, I wanted to take responsibility for you.

I gave you the bride price to express my intention.

I was thinking that we would get married after a few months.

I never expected you to follow me home today.

Anyway, you have to be extra cautious. Don't let anyone see you.

If not, they'll say that I'm infatuated with my relationship

and that I'm disregarding my sect.

If so, they'll kick me out of the sect.

So, you want me to stay with you

without any title or recognition?

Don't worry. I'll provide you with a title as soon as possible.

But you have to bear with this for a few days first.

You must be hungry.

Here are some snacks.

You can enjoy them. I'll go and resume my gatekeeping duty.

Aren't you afraid that I'm one of the demoness's accomplices

and that I'll cause you to end up like Chu?

I'm just a nameless gatekeeper.

I'm nothing compared to Chu, who's an elite disciple.

Besides, you rescued me and the spirit monkey.

I know you're not a member of an evil sect.

What's with the huge portion?

I have a huge appetite lately.

She may be last in martial arts,

but she's surely first in a food-eating contest.

Martial Senior, do you have any used clothes?

Why do you need them?

Please give them to me if you do. I need them...

I need to use them for something.

All right. I'll head back and look for them.

Thank you, Martial Senior.

I don't wear used clothes.

The members of Jingyun Sect cannot leave the sect without permission.

I can't leave and buy you any new clothes for the time being.

Just bear with it for the moment, okay?

No.

You can't just wear that all the time.

Fine. Suit yourself.

I'll sneak out and buy you some clothes when I'm free.

You should eat first.

The food is terrible.

Really? I thought it was pretty good.

Why don't you give it a try?

No.

What do you want to eat, then?

Xiaoqiu fruits.

The ones from Mount Xiaoqiu? They aren't ripe yet.

You can't just starve yourself.

Okay.

You can choose to starve yourself and wear the same outfit.

Why don't you sleep, then? The bed is ready.

Aren't you going to sleep on the bed?

I know my etiquette.

We haven't performed the marital rites yet.

We aren't considered married.

Therefore, we cannot sleep together.

Yue.

Are you that confident that I won't harm you?

Chu.

Chu, have some water.

Guan.

You should stop visiting me.

Are you willing to let the sect execute you because of her?

Although I have to die,

I have no regrets.

To think that I'm here to talk you out of it.

Actually, I'm the same as you.

Chu, don't worry.

I'll definitely rescue you.

Martial Senior, my tummy hurts.

Can you cover my duty for me?

I wish to head back and rest.

What's with the sudden stomachache? Let me see.

I'm fine.

I just ate too much yesterday.

I'll head back first.

Qing Yue?

Luckily, I made it back before dawn.

Chu, slowly. Hang in there.

Guan.

Are you here to apprehend us?

No.

I guess so. They would've sent someone stronger.

If so, I suppose you're here to help us.

I knew you were the best, Qing Xin.

- My name is Qing Yue. - It doesn't matter.

Chu wasn't willing to leave with me.

I could only seal his meridians and take him with me by force.

Help me transport him.

Here.

I'll pave the way and watch your back.

You just need to take him with you.

I don't think that's appropriate.

Don't worry. You're weak.

I'm supposed to do the dangerous stuff.

That's not what I mean.

Qing Xin, we're running out of time.

- Let's hurry. - My name is Qing Yue.

Vile disciple!

How dare you betray us and escape?

But wait!

This has nothing to do with me!

Hurry and hold him.

Qing Yue, leave with Chu

Now, you remember my name, huh?

Qing Yue, are you there?

Sect Leader, I was the one who insisted on rescuing Chu.

This has nothing to do with him.

Guan, I...

Guan, this has nothing to do with you. You should stand back.

But Chu...

It's my fault alone.

Others shouldn't be implicated.

Master, please punish me.

Meng Chu, Qu Xing Man invaded our sect and injured our disciples.

Your junior, Yue, almost died because of her.

She has set aside past grievances to rescue you.

Is her bond with you not enough to make you come to your senses?

- That's not true! - Master, please stop.

Master, you judge by your code when it comes to good and evil.

I judge by my own code as well.

Although you're confined by the sect's dogma,

I choose to perceive the world with my heart.

But Master, you're my teacher and mentor.

I owe everything to our sect.

I can never repay your kindness.

Master, you may choose to execute me or disable my power.

I have no complaints.

Sect Leader, Chu was just bewitched by the demoness.

Please spare him!

My mind is clear.

Chu?

(Such strong love actually exists in our world.)

Fine.

You're indeed very opinionated.

I'll take it as if you were never my disciple.

Today, I shall execute you personally

so that you won't be led astray and harm other living beings!

Sect Leader?

Sect Leader!

We've been his juniors for over a decade.

If you intend to punish him,

you should punish us as well.

Us?

This has nothing to do with me. I was just passing by.

This has nothing to do with Yue.

Sect Leader, that's not true!

I saw her hiding a man in her quarters!

Maybe he's the demoness's accomplice.

Yue, Guan, I'm truly sorry.

You guys were implicated because of me.

I'll clarify this with Master.

This has nothing to do with you two.

I have no regrets, so long as I can endure hardships with you.

Yue, did you really secretly take someone in from outside?
