Original subtitles

You were hurt because of me. Why are you smiling and apologizing to me?

And now you want to atone? Why?

Well, I did jump in front of your sword.

It wouldn't be right to be mad at you.

Sanlang?

What's gotten into him?

Nothing. Don't worry about it.

Sanlang, why are you hitting it?

'Cause it won't stop crying, the useless thing.

Sanlang...

Damn it! Someone tell me how to open this door!

General Nan Yang, I know how to do it!

Wait...

Could it perhaps be that...

Sanlang!

I said let him go!

If you can make me.

So that's how he was able to use his teleportation in the Heavenly Capital?

Oh no!

He mustn't use it recklessly!

Wait, you need to...

HEAVEN OFFICIAL'S BLESSING

Episode 7

For One Person Alone

Damn it! Someone tell me how to open this door!

General Nan Yang, I know how to do it!

I had a terrible time with that spell during my mission with the Prince.

General Nan Yang, find two dice and

roll them at the entrance to the gate, and it may open!

Dice? This is the Heavenly Capital!

You guys go look for them!

Found 'em.

W-What happened?

Damn it!

General Nan Yang, what happened?

Damn it all!

Be careful!

Different numbers on the dice will send you to different places.

What's on the dice?

They total up to 4.

Feng Xin, Mu Qing.

Can you hear me?

Maybe they used all their magic. They can't even hear me.

Sanlang, where does 4 take you?

Depends on the person.

They go to the place the person who rolled the dice fears most.

The place the person who rolled the dice fears most?

Amazing.

What is this place?

What are you doing for your skin?

Get out! Pervert!

You stole the dice from me to take us to a woman's bathhouse?

Don't ask me!

That's the worst place on earth for Feng Xin.

It's a powerful spell. Both of you, be careful!

Move. This time, I'll do it.

Now what did they run into?

What is this place?

A swamp?

Crocodile men?

What did you roll?

Give me the dice! I'll roll them!

Better than the woman's bathhouse!

How could you take me someplace so indecent?

Now you give me those dice!

You're the one holding the dice!

Bastard!

Now you've done it!

You always, always do this!

There those two go again.

How many times has this happened now?

Whether they're in Heaven or below, they never get tired.

Then shall we bet? I bet on General Xuan Zhen's victory.

General Xuan Zhen doesn't like places that are dirty.

So I think General Nan Yang has a better chance in a swamp fight.

True! I bet on General Nan Yang, too!

Silence!

I don't think there's any monster that could hurt Feng Xin and Mu Qing.

I hope they give up their search, though.

Fortunately for me, one roll was enough to get Sanlang to show up.

Is there some trick?

Sanlang, do I get to see you if the dice come up 2?

No.

That's not how it works, huh?

I was wrong.

If you want to see me,

you'll reach me no matter what the dice say.

Sanlang, is that...

I'm right here!

This is your sword, Imperial Preceptor.

I'll handle this.

I challenge you to a duel...

To the death!

Very well.

This was your idea.

No matter how this battle ends...

There's no going back.

That's what I want!

Imperial Preceptor!

What are you doing?

That was close!

Let me go!

Fight me fair and square!

I did fight you fair and square.

That's one of my treasures that's wrapped you up.

You lose.

This is a duel?

You coward! Catching me off guard with your cloth!

If you're a man, use your sword!

I never promised to use my sword.

I...

You thoughtlessly rushed into battle, were caught off guard, and lost your duel.

And now you're complaining?

What?

Catching someone off guard is a valid tactic.

If you weren't fighting me, you'd be dead by now.

Imperial Preceptor, you've changed.

You didn't used to be like this.

I was always like this. You just didn't know.

I told you a long time ago, right?

Don't make me out to be some kind of holy being.

I'm not who you imagine me to be.

In the end, you'll be the one who's disappointed.

Think about that.

Next time, don't be deceived.

Wait!

At least... explain!

Explain what?

Imperial Preceptor...

Have I, my father, and my mother been unkind to the remnants of Xianle Kingdom?

After what you did, many people blamed the survivors of Xianle Kingdom.

Your Highness!

The monster has been executed, but the life of one person cannot make up

for the crime of slaying the royal family!

Give me the order, and I'll kill every last Xianle citizen in our kingdom,

ending the threat forever!

We shall join you!

But Fangxin the Demon never said he was from Xianle!

But he never said he wasn't!

Ever since the founding of Yong An,

the survivors of Xianle have constantly been making trouble in the capital!

They've made many attempts on the lives of our kings and nobles!

But that was years ago!

Under the current state policy,

Yong An and Xianle have reconciled and are on good terms!

We can't trust any but our own kind!

The Demon only involved himself in politics to make us lower our guards...

He didn't involve himself in our politics!

The last emperor wanted good relations between Xianle and Yong An!

The last emperor was a compassionate man... but what was the result of his policies?

And so you're going to kill all the people of Xianle?

What have they done to deserve that?

Then what did the Yong An royal family do to deserve their deaths

at the Golden Feast?

Qianqiu, what's the most important part of being a ruler?

Whether rich or poor, from Yong An or Xianle...

Every person is different, and has their own hidden agendas.

But they're all your people.

Love your people, and protect them.

The Imperial Preceptor isn't from Xianle,

so I forbid you from slaying them.

Your Highness!

The matter is settled!

The last emperor longed to end the conflict between our peoples during his life,

but did not live to see that day.

Would you have us forget his dream?

I issue a new edict!

From now on, there shall be no distinction

between Yong An and Xianle within our borders!

Please reconsider!

A man from Xianle hid his identity... for five whole years!

My father honored him as the Imperial Preceptor,

and I respected him as my teacher.

Even when my ministers opposed me,

I ignored them and saved the lives of all the people of Xianle...

Tell me, Imperial Preceptor!

Were you just toying with us?

That day was my birthday.

Did you try to make my 17th year into a great trial, as your 17th year was for you?

If that was what you intended, I won't give you what you want!

You can try and fill my heart with hatred like yours, but you'll fail!

I won't become self-destructive like you!

No matter what you do to me, I'll never become like you!

I see...

Well said.

Remember those words.

Never become like me.

What?

Qianqiu?

No matter what form he takes, he still looks like an idiot.

So this is Qianqiu, then?

What did you do to him?

Sanlang, stop playing with him and turn him back.

No, we're taking him.

Where?

Here.

Dear Brother, follow me.

Sanlang, what is this place?

Hurry up!

Of course!

The King will come back triumphant, I know it!

I know it!

Hurry! Get moving!

Will the king be back soon?

Bring them here!

Just see what happens if you keep the king waiting! You'll be a dead man!

Very true!

Hurry up!

You two...

What do you have in your hands?

That's right! What do you have in your hands!

Show us!

Get to work! No wasting time here!

Let's go, yeah.

Let's get going!

Why did they...

You didn't need to go this far.

Ghost Qi Rong lacks any sort of elegance at all.

He likes to make people think he walks with elegant green lanterns at night.

But in fact, the "green lanterns" are simple candles placed on the head.

Thus, his ghosts all have heads filled with wax,

which makes them dumb.

I thought you destroyed his caverns, though.

I did. He fled, though.

He spent 50 years building another den here.

Sanlang, before we search for Qi Rong,

break the spell on Qianqiu and free him, please.

I'll go with you.

No.

Let's take him.

There's someone I want him to meet.
