[Ever Night]

[Episode 36]

Shan Lady.

Bro Zhong, oh no, Bro Ning.

Is he really Mister 13?

Lady, why'd you leave like that earlier?

How should I have left?

All the way, Mister 13 has been helpful to us.

In today's Allied meeting, if not for him,

I'm afraid Ink Pool Park would've faced trouble.

For days of friendship, even to express thanks,

you should say goodbye to him.

Those mounted bandits came for him.

No reason to thank him. He dragged us down

so his speaking up today was to be expected.

You know that's not what I mean.

What do you mean?

I mean, since Chicken Soup Note came to Grand River,

someone was sleepless with excitement, copying it day and night.

Now you've seen him, why not clear things up?

Sister Zhuo.

I don't know what you mean.

Lady.

I said too much.

So you were him.

Lady likes that Note?

Not just like...

but really like.

And I admire Mister 13 who wrote this.

Hey. What's so good about Mister 13?

In our Academy, he's like a turnip in a field,

commonly found.

'Sang Sang. Young Master got drunk and won't be home'.

'Remember to drink chicken soup'.

Sang Sang.

Who's Sang Sang?

Brother Ning.

You came at the right time.

Your baggage is too heavy. Carry it yourself.

No need. I'll stay tonight.

Lady wants you to leave.

What's with her?

Weren't things fine earlier?

Lady treated you honestly.

You? Lying all along.

You revealed yourself only at a critical moment.

The way you treat her, no wonder she's angry.

Let alone Lady, I'm angry.

Okay then.

Come back.

Though Lady's angry, if you apologize

and right the wrong, she may forgive you.

You think?

Go on. Lady is waiting for you.

Good paper.

I've only seen such paper in His Majesty's Study.

Write.

What do I write?

A message.

Why? No-one needs a message sent.

Write.

I like you...

Your writing.

~daybreak lights west chambers~

Okay then. ~autumnal breeze last night~

~cool as wine~

~far green hills, calming zither~

~rowing in high spirits~

~pages turning, rain drizzle~

~I asked the cool breeze to tour the world with me~

~that Spring, we cut fragrant peach blossoms while drinking wine~

~see the world at leisure~

~fools giggle at life's questions~

~I laugh at life's tumult~

~begging can't get an antidote~

~deep love, disturbing hate; painful parting, lonely love~

~bow to fame and wealth~

I like how he looks while writing.

~youth's prime disappears~

~just laugh at restive worldly affairs~

I never thought I'd meet a lady like her.

Every moment with her is like the end of time.

~see charming countryside~

~I'm carefree in crowds and the busy world~

~when drunk, flowers look lovely~

~invite old friends to talk about the restive world~

I hope Sang Sang will like her.

~the world is so wonderful~

When will he write a little note to me?

You've seen God's Light since birth.

Add water.

Add flour.

Enough.

You see God's Light on waking in the morning.

- How's that? - You see it at sunset.

You see it every summer.

And you see it in snowfalls.

To perceive Divine Light takes how many years?

Perceiving Divine Light needs endurance and patience.

Even I, Light's Messenger, took 10 years.

Light will not be extinguished. Heaven is eternal.

Lady Mo.

You're also going north?

Mm.

From here, we enter Northern Wildland.

Prince Long Qing hasn't shown up.

I think he's already there.

Don't believe in rumours.

I've no intention to fight the Prince in everything.

"Enemy for a lifetime" isn't for me.

Your Cultivation is just too low.

I have to seek something.

Since you're honest, I won't hide it.

I also have to seek something.

What is it?

Perhaps...

we seek the same thing.

Could you be looking for...

Let's go together.

Mm.

At north Mount Min foot is a pass.

Through that pass, straight north,

to the north of Golden Horde, lies a mountain,

Mount Tian Qi.

I think what we seek is there.

Alright, let's go together.

Closing shop early?

Third Prince, you came to buy a brush or paper?

Think I came to buy that?

I came to see you.

Me?

You're not bad.

You're not pretty

and you're unlike others.

What do you want?

Didn't I say? I came to see you.

We're closed.

Go out.

Fine, fine, I'll go.

I'll go.

Know how many girls would line up for me?

- Young Master is back soon. - Don't mention him.

Ning Que is so low class. What's good about him?

You and my sister keep thinking of him.

You've no looks to lure me.

Whoever I want to touch, I'll touch.

Whoever I want to hug, I'll hug.

Last time I touched your hand, Ning Que almost choked me.

He's in the Wildland.

He can't fly back here.

Master.

Thanks, Master.

Don't fear, child.

From now, no-one will bully you.

Not because of me but because you're Child of Light,

new master of Light Hall, future Grand Priest of Light.

Grand Priest of Light?

Teacher, after Young Master, I like you most.

From here, how long to Mount Tian Qi ?

Tens of miles from here is a snowy pass.

Farther north, the road is unknown.

- Go! - Go!

How'd you defeat Prince Long Qing?

Luck.

Luck?

So Fu Zi chose a Disciple based on luck?

Then in future, we should all learn to throw dice.

No need to Cultivate.

If I enter Knowing Destiny Realm, Long Qing's face will be sour.

Flower Maniac's face will be more sour.

Pity I can only draw a Half Divine Talisman.

I can't see Knowing Destiny door.

Long Qing is the most likely youth to enter Knowing Destiny.

And Dao Chi?

Truly, of 3 Addicts,

Ye Hongyu's level is far above Lu Chenjia's and mine.

She grew up in Zhi Shou Abbey.

Rumour says the Abbot chose her as his successor.

She has expert Daoism skills and many techniques.

She can enter Knowing Destiny at any time.

But no-one knows why she won't enter the door.

Then she's Zhen Chi (Real Idiot).

We intend no evil.

- You're from the grasslands? - No, Central Plains.

Who are you?

Huangren.

I've heard of Tang Empire.

Our Chief is called Tang.

- Tang? - Mm.

- Is he a Tang person? - No.

He admired Tang Empire and named himself that.

He sounds interesting.

Mama, I'm back.

- See. Isn't the hare I caught big? - Really big.

- Cold outside? - Not too cold.

- Put it in the cage. - Yes.

Who are they?

They're guests from Tang Empire.

This is my son, Xiao Ti.

Next spring, he comes of age.

He'll set up a home, marry and have kids.

Marrying so young?

I'll make you some food.

Please sit.

Today it's very cold outside. You can stay here.

Can we fit?

You can. Take the bed, I'll sleep on the floor.

That's not good.

It's fine.

Sorry to trouble you.

It's fine.

Sister, what's your name?

I'm Mo Shanshan.

Mo Shanshan. And Brother?

I'm Ning Que.

Ning Que.

Are you two married?

No, no.

So old and not married?

Young Master, today Master taught me Divine Skill.

In future, we needn't worry about lights.

Sang Sang won't fear walking in the dark anymore.

Master said I have a gift.

If I study hard, I can light up the dark.

But,

if I light up the dark, how will others sleep?

But having a Master is nice.

Besides Young Master, my Master can protect me.

But, Young Master, don't be jealous.

In my heart, Young Master will always matter most.

Demonism opposes Heaven.

Mister 13, don't forget your position.

What you take as Demonism

is just a different Cultivation method from Heaven Dao.

It's an offshoot of Xiling.

How did it become 'evil'?

Please don't say such things.

We must revere God.

Lady Mo, troubles in the world come from one word.

What?

'Must'.

My Master said

Demonists forcibly absorb nascent Qi,

easily falling into evil Dao,

changing into monsters feeding on human blood.

Besides, Demonists worship King of Hades, God's enemy.

King of Hades.

Have you seen King of Hades? How's he look?

Where is he?

Xiling Scripture says–

King of Hades will come every 1000 years,

bringing calamity and destruction to all.

Ever Night is nearing.

Sky and earth will be forever dark.

We face annihilation.

Everyone and every living thing will cease to exist.

So, we must prevent Ever Night

and kill Child of Hades.

Ever Night and Hades Child myths

sound like a perfect excuse.

I didn't expect you to believe it.

Why are you here?

For God, I will execute you.

Xiling Justice Hall Deacon.

We represent God.

Even if you were God, you've no right to kill them.

You'd come of age next year.

You'd marry soon.

What is it?

The route got slippery.

Blackie and your horse can't proceed.

We must go on foot.

Stay here.

Don't run away. Wait for my return.

When snow fell in childhood, Sang Sang would ask–

'when can we have silver like snowflakes in our house'.

Sang Sang?

Mm.

My little maid.

I've been gone too long.

To have Sang Sang's scallion noodles with a fried egg would be great.

I wonder if Young Master has eaten.

Does he have scallion noodles to eat?

What's with my brain?

I should've given Young Master a bundle of scallions.

Two Sichuan peppers.

Thirty chopped scallion pieces.

Two, three, four, five...

six.

Such a huge mountain.

Is Demon Sect Gate really here?

The map doesn't clearly mark Demon Sect Gate.

But searching every peak and valley, I assume we won't find it in a month.

We've little food and water.

It'll last four to five days.

Is Bright Book truly within Demon Gate?

My Master said, for the last 100 years, Xiling hunted high and low

but found no trace of it.

Apart from Demon Sect's abandoned Gate,

they couldn't figure out Bright Book's hiding place.

Demon Sect Mountain Gate.

Isn't it strange?

Allied Forces ceased battling Huangren

but all sects show no sign of leaving the Wildland.

They all want to get Bright Book.

Huangren war was an excuse.

- Let me ask you. - Mm.

- Does process or result matter more. - Process.

I thought it was result.

But in my Perception of Talismans,

result can't be seen without process.

You entered First Awareness, Perception and Doubtless.

In under a year, you aim for See-through.

Isn't it a bit greedy?

Don't be shocked

nor admire me.

I'm just bravely facing dismal life, cruel fate,

and countless dangers, opposing Heaven's will.

Let's go.

Big Bro, could they really find Mountain Gate?

The Gate was destroyed 20 years ago.

I sure want to know who could open it again.

Even you can't?

When Chief left, he set an interdiction.

No-one can step through the Gate, let alone Holy Hall.

- Someone's coming. - I'll look.

Be careful!

Who are you?

Why are you here?

You carry a rabbit.

It's not a rabbit. It's a wolf.

You're from Xiling?

On a vast snow mountain where no-one sets foot.

Aren't you afraid?

I killed many evil people.

But I don't want to kill a young Demonist like you.

Little miss, hurry off.

I've killed many wolves and lambs.

But I've never killed a Xiling person.

You should feel honoured.

Demon Sect girl.

I represent Heaven's justice.

You'll die next time I see you.

Ye Hongyu, you crazy woman.

You both want to bully a kid?

Long Qing, I'm disappointed.

I'm at the threshold. The Mirror can be shattered.

You were at the door last year in 2nd Floor test

but you couldn't pass it.

You were even inferior to an Academy beginner.

I came to Wildland to prove I underestimated my foe.

If you can't enter Knowing Destiny, don't return to Xiling.

My Dao Heart is steadfast. I won't shame God.

Flattery and fawning blinded you.

Have you truly seen God?

Ye Hongyu, though I'm not your match now,

once I enter Knowing Destiny, I will challenge you.

Just you? You'll always be behind me.

And in your heart is me and Ning Que

and now Tang Xiaotang.

They're thorns in your heart.

Whatever you do, you'll recall your loss to him.

Your Yan lost to Tang. Your Dao Heart hurts.

Entering Knowing Destiny will be even harder.

But you should thank me.

If you weren't in Justice Hall, I'd never say these truths.

You should return to Yan and be the prince you were.

You're cold?

I'm alright.

Here. Give me your hand.

Put the Fire Talisman at your waist.

Need my help?

Uh? No.

It's so warm.

My Talisman can't condense Fire Intent in nascent Qi.

It heats slowly.

Human connections also can't heat instantly.

Feelings warm with time.

What did you say?

If you need help, tell me. No need for manners.

I mean, don't waste energy.

It's fine. Sang Sang has a cold constitution.

She likes this Talisman.
