Hurry up!

Wait!

Wait, I said!

Come on, go.

Sire, will you remove the mask?

I never saw his face in life.

I don't need to see it in death.

Seal it.

Who's there?

Who's...

HEAVEN OFFICIAL'S BLESSING

Episode 11

A Sad Parting Under Moonlight

I'm sorry, Sanlang.

I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me...

I'm sorry...

No, it's my fault.

No, this is my problem!

I've humiliated myself!

You did nothing wrong.

You killed the king of Yong An and protected the Xianle people.

You killed Anle and prevented a war between both peoples.

And in the end...

the killer was executed at Lang Qianqiu's hands.

Peace was gained at the cost of three lives.

I would do the same.

You've done nothing wrong.

Nobody could do a better job than you did.

I just can't accept it...

Someone who extended a hand in good faith should be rewarded...

Even if it's a lie... I wanted Qianqiu to believe that.

To believe that, if you did the right thing without hesitation, everything would work out fine...

But now look at me.

It's all turned to lies,

turned to hypocrisy,

turned to ridiculous nonsense...

I'm sorry.

Even I'm sick of it.

I didn't want anyone to suffer like this.

But look at how the world works.

The previous Yong An royals were never punished for the awful things they did.

But Lang Qianqiu's parents tried to

make the world a better place out of the goodness of their hearts,

and met such an awful end.

I can't forget it...

that moment when I killed him.

It's Anle and Qi Rong's fault.

Everything was going fine.

When Lang Qianqiu's father took the throne,

he changed the way the Xianle people were treated.

The people of both kingdoms were gradually coming to accept each other.

Things were finally about to change!

So why?!

Anle!

Do you understand the mistake you've made?

So you were the Imperial Preceptor!

You had them all fooled!

I'm so glad... Now we can work together to achieve something great!

Now that the Golden Feast is over, it's time to kill Lang Qianqiu!

Yong An will fall into chaos, and then the real nightmare begins!

But still... I killed him.

No matter the circumstances or what reasons I had,

that fact won't change.

Qi Rong was right about one thing:

I'm a failure.

Don't believe a word that loser says.

He's just hard to kill and quick to run away.

Even after 800 years he failed to become Supreme.

Punching him would just dirty your hand.

I'm no different...

When I reunited with Lang Qianqiu, he had the same honesty and kindness as before.

I felt so much better.

But how will this change him?

How will he settle things with me after he finds Qi Rong?

There may still be surviving people in the caves.

Let's save them.

All right.

Right this way!

Please, come this way!

The last group is here.

Let them go!

Right away!

Don't hurt me!

Let me out! Let me out!

They came to set us free!

We're free to go?

Go.

Really?

Get going.

By the way, Sanlang.

I was so sure the Golden Feast massacre was Anle's doing alone.

I had no idea Qi Rong was behind it.

How did you know?

And how did you find out so quickly?

No, it wasn't quick.

I've fought him a few times.

I know how he thinks.

There've been other times in the past where the Yong An royals were attacked,

and he was behind them, too.

He just never let himself get caught.

So he's done it before?

If the Heavenly Court found out he was causing trouble in the human world,

they wouldn't be happy.

And the Golden Feast massacre matched his methods perfectly.

That's why I was sure Imperial Preceptor Fangxin was his pawn.

But...

When Lang Qianqiu said that you were the Imperial Preceptor,

I realized that the Imperial Preceptor couldn't be working with Qi Rong.

Sanlang seems to know all about the history between me and Qi Rong,

and the struggles we've had.

That only made me more certain Qi Rong was behind it.

At least, he was the instigator, I'm sure.

Xianle and Yong An share the same origin.

Once their position became better,

the people of Xianle would stop caring about revenge or rebuilding their lost nation.

So there was only one man for Qi Rong to manipulate...

the sole heir to the Xianle Royal Family, King Anle.

Shortly after the Golden Feast, though, he died of an illness.

There had to be a reason for that.

My first suspicion was the people of Xianle.

But then it didn't make sense that the people of Xianle

didn't become a target for revenge.

I started eliminating possibilities, until this was the only one left.

You got so much right with so few clues.

I just understood well...

Yes, he understood well.

But there's one thing you just had to assume.

Why were you so sure that Qi Rong was the instigator?

I didn't believe he did it.

I was simply sure that you didn't.

Why?

You said the Golden Feast massacre was your doing, right?

The King of Yong An was trusted by his people,

but you claimed you couldn't bear to see him sitting on the throne:

exactly what you would expect an assassin to say.

But in your case, you just bore the burden of that sin.

Burden?

And what if I really did think I couldn't bear to see him on the throne?

Even if you did, you wouldn't do anything.

Sanlang, I'm not who you think I am.

So...

Don't worry. Go ahead.

Don't try to understand me too much.

It's okay to watch someone from afar...

Curse you, Prince of Xianle!

But once you get close and know who someone really is...

Your fantasy that that person is perfect will fall apart.

And in the end, you'll be disappointed.

I don't know about that.

It doesn't matter who they disappointed,

because to someone in the world, that person's very existence was hope.

Sanlang, who are you here?

You seem to know exactly who Qi Rong is, and who I am.

Haven't I always known a lot?

No, that's not what I'm asking.

I've always had this feeling I've met you in the past.

Did I meet you during my first ascension?

No... even before that.

Sanlang, who are you?

Have I met you before?

No...

A ghost always keeps their true name secret.

He wouldn't tell me.

Sorry, don't worry about it.

I was just curious.

It doesn't matter who you are.

I told you. You're more powerful and luckier in female form, but you refuse to do it.

Well? You saw, right?

This time, the right number came up.

Wind Master!

Is that you, Prince?

Oh my, and Crimson Rain Sought Flower, too.

Did you find them? Well?

Feng Xin?!

Come here, Prince!

Calm down.

Put down your weapons...

Hua Cheng! Crimson Rain Sought Flower!

Don't get so mad, okay?

The burning of Paradise Manor was an accident!

If you're upset, we'll pay for it.

His Majesty has the money.

So let the prince go, and we can all go home.

Wind Master, you seem to misunderstand.

I'm not...

What are you doing?

We still haven't dealt with the matter of the spies you sent.

Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me?

You can knock the act off, guys.

Sanlang came to help me out of the goodness of his heart.

There's no need to hide that.

All right. We'll call off the act.

I already sent that conversation to the spirit communication array.

My prince, if your good intentions were going to be interpreted as evil intentions,

you should've just started with evil intentions!

They wouldn't have suspected you then!

What you say makes sense.

Of course it does.

Do you think I could survive in the Heavenly Court otherwise?

General Nan Yang, put down your bow.

Put down the bow.

They're both good friends.

There's no evil intentions there.

Prince, come here!

He's a Supreme!

Stop it!

Nobody's listening to a word I say...

Put down your bow.

Damn it! Get your hands off me!

And what are you trying to do?

Get your breasts away from me!

Crimson Rain Sought Flower went to save the prince.

And you pointed a bow at him?

Do you want a fight that badly?

Stop! What are you doing?

I'm not getting involved.

Never do that again!

Never again!

Got it?

Hey, don't you think you're overreacting?

Stay away! Stay back!

Get away from me!

Fine.

Go back to normal!

How rude.

Can't you hear me?

It's not hurting you, is it?

Huh? Where's Qianqiu?

He's not in the spirit communication array?

He's not.

I kept reaching out to him, but he never responded.

Normally he responds immediately, even to a minor priest.

He's acting really odd.

He went to chase after Qi Rong.

This is Qi Rong's lair.

Wait. Why?

What do you mean?

He's simply gone after the true mastermind behind the Golden Feast massacre.

The true mastermind? Really?

It's a little complicated. I'll tell you later.

So it was a misunderstanding!

I was absolutely right!

You won't be punished even if you go back.

I see.

Feng Xin.

By Qi Rong, I mean that Qi Rong.

Which Qi Rong?

Don't tell me... the Qi Rong we know?

Why would a ghost share their true name with everyone?

It's insane!

You know the Green Immortal?

He's my younger cousin.

Wow!

Yes, he is amazing, but...

No, I mean you're amazing!

Right?

The Martial Gods of the Southeast and Southwest are your old acquaintances.

The Martial God of the East is your student.

The Green Immortal Qi Rong is your cousin.

And Crimson Rain Sought Flower, the ruler of the Ghost City, is your sworn brother.

And I, the Wind Master, am your friend!

That's plenty amazing!

He truly is the master of the wind.

A strong wind that passes through, blowing away the gloom.

If there's nothing else to do here,

I'd like to get back to the Heavenly Capital and explain

what's going on to the Emperor.

I thought you were the straightforward type,

but I guess you like to beat around the bush, too.

You don't want your prince hanging out with a monster like me, right?

What's wrong? Why don't you just come out and say so?

'cause you're in no position to do so?

He shouldn't be here with you.

Sanlang...

Of course I'll explain,

but there's something I need to do here.

Thanks to Sanlang, I was able to save the people trapped here.

I'll deal with the remaining ghosts here before heading back.

You don't need to stay here.

Go back, and leave this to me.

At the rate the Heavenly Court works, it'll be a month until you finish it all.

And of course, you could do it in an instant?

What's going on?

Do you two hate each other?

Sanlang, why are you holding your umbrella?

Just wait.

Even as we speak... a storm is approaching.

Where's this rain coming from?

It stopped...

What's this?

General Nan Yang, are you okay?

You just stood there while the rain fell...

Feng Xin, you okay?

Let's wipe you clean a little more.

It got all over your face.

See? It only took an instant.

Well?

Enough. Your feather duster is smearing it all over my face.

Sanlang!

Are you going back to the City of Ghosts?

Are you going to the Heavenly Capital?

But if you want to come to the City of Ghosts with me, I'll welcome you.

I'll go another time!

When you rebuild Paradise Manor, I'll help carry bricks!

There's no need for that.

You can just sit and watch.

Either way, I'm grateful for your help with Qianqiu.

I don't know what's right here,

but this isn't so bad.

You're thinking too much.

Do as you like.
