[Bloody Romance]
17
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:27,180
Who are you?! What do you want? Don't come any closer!
18
00:02:32,300 --> 00:02:34,690
Your hands are a little rough.
19
00:02:36,100 --> 00:02:38,150
Your waist is very tight.
20
00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:41,410
It's obvious you came from a poor family;
21
00:02:41,410 --> 00:02:46,720
one used to doing heavy work. It's a pity that your hair is withered and yellowed.
22
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,110
Even for people with above average looks, it is not easy to survive here.
23
00:03:01,110 --> 00:03:03,850
If you also have a bad temper, at the same time,
24
00:03:03,850 --> 00:03:06,670
your life would be worse than death.
25
00:03:06,670 --> 00:03:10,560
Don't come any closer! Or else, I'll teach you a lesson!
26
00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:13,480
With your capabilities?
27
00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:53,770
You wouldn't be able to kill anyone with this hairpin.
28
00:03:53,770 --> 00:03:58,400
I'd better take it from you. It's not useful to you, anyway.
29
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,070
Since you're a brave one,
30
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,880
I'll be gracious and not hold this against you.
31
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,750
You're better than those who only know how to cry.
32
00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:15,020
You look so plain and unhealthy.
33
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,200
I have a hairpin that suits you better.
34
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,830
Do you know when this hairpin looks the prettiest?
35
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,790
Not when it's in your hair,
36
00:04:30,300 --> 00:04:36,210
but when it's in another's flesh. See the groove here?
37
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,250
It can hold exactly one drop of poison.
38
00:04:41,250 --> 00:04:43,730
A deadly drop of poison.
39
00:04:44,630 --> 00:04:48,410
Didn't you want to kill me? This hairpin
40
00:04:48,410 --> 00:04:53,240
is simple but elegant. It suits you.
41
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,570
Make your move whenever you're ready.
42
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:18,190
Can I look at myself in the mirror?
43
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,420
- Where is this place?! Let me go!
- Do you have somewhere else to go?
44
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,970
Is there someone waiting for you?
45
00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:08,420
Since that's the case, why don't you stay here?
46
00:06:08,420 --> 00:06:11,920
At least, this is a place you can stay in.
47
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,730
I might also stay behind to serve you.
48
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,510
Who are you?
49
00:06:21,510 --> 00:06:24,860
I am Chang An.
50
00:06:28,100 --> 00:06:30,310
Where exactly is this place?
51
00:06:30,310 --> 00:06:32,320
Guihua City.
52
00:06:33,900 --> 00:06:38,320
If you want to learn more, hold back your anger
53
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,150
and live on to find out the truth.
54
00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:51,140
The new arrivals may come to Chuixing Tower after washing up.
55
00:06:51,140 --> 00:06:55,040
[Yunjing Pavilion]
56
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:06,050
Time to rise. Wash up, girls.
57
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,350
Miss, go ahead.
58
00:07:35,700 --> 00:07:40,960
Chang An. May I call you that?
59
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,200
As you like, Miss.
60
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,590
Do you also think... that I should live on?
61
00:07:51,590 --> 00:07:53,780
This is where the living die.
62
00:07:54,550 --> 00:07:57,220
It is also where the dead can live.
63
00:07:57,220 --> 00:08:01,000
There is a limit to what I can do for you.
64
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,180
You must choose which path to take.
65
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,620
How interesting. She managed to make it in.
66
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,380
You are Miss Yue Ying, right? On my way here, people told me that you saved me.
67
00:09:03,380 --> 00:09:06,600
I didn't save you, you saved yourself.
68
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,450
I will take you to see the person you should see, but think it over carefully.
69
00:09:12,450 --> 00:09:15,520
There are many things in this world that are more frightening than death.
70
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,540
Staying alive may not be a good thing.
71
00:09:30,700 --> 00:09:34,230
Call one of them Wan Mei.
72
00:09:52,700 --> 00:09:57,180
Not a bad aroma. You are quite filial.
73
00:09:57,180 --> 00:10:00,130
From now on, you will be called Wan Xiang.
74
00:10:00,130 --> 00:10:02,320
Thank you for the name, City Master.
75
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,330
Report! City Master, Miss Yue Ying has arrived.
76
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,830
Have her come in.
77
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,390
City Master!
78
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:41,350
Gong Zi ordered me to bring her here to get a name from you.
79
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,520
Yue Ying! I'm not trying to scold you.
80
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,960
You haven't been here for a long time,
81
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,510
but you are at the Supreme Assassin level.
82
00:10:53,510 --> 00:10:58,630
Why are you becoming less and less knowledgeable?
83
00:10:58,630 --> 00:11:01,580
What is this place?
84
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,770
Guihua City!
85
00:11:04,770 --> 00:11:10,200
When did Guihua City become a place where just anybody can come in?
86
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,930
Those who can hold a position here
87
00:11:13,930 --> 00:11:17,160
have all gone through multiple obstacles.
88
00:11:17,780 --> 00:11:22,850
How can she be spared from torture just based on one word from Gong Zi?
89
00:11:22,850 --> 00:11:25,330
Do you see these two people?
90
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,600
If they hadn't passed through multiple types of tests,
91
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,880
they wouldn't be qualified to enter here, Chuixing Pavilion.
92
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:37,290
I am Gong Zi's subordinate. I only act under his orders.
93
00:11:37,290 --> 00:11:42,320
As for whether or not you will do it, that has nothing to do with me. It's your decision.
94
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,200
But I'd like to remind you.
95
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,460
In Guihua City, the person who can create the rules,
96
00:11:48,460 --> 00:11:51,020
naturally, is Guihua City's Master.
97
00:11:51,900 --> 00:11:56,500
And no matter how unknowledgeable I am, I can still remember
98
00:11:56,500 --> 00:11:58,900
who the real master is.
99
00:12:11,980 --> 00:12:14,120
Those words,
100
00:12:14,830 --> 00:12:17,400
are quite meaningful!
101
00:12:33,190 --> 00:12:38,300
Why don't you tell me where Gong Zi went and what he did?
102
00:12:38,300 --> 00:12:42,010
Also, were is this little lady from?
103
00:12:55,260 --> 00:12:58,270
City Master! My name is Su Qixue!
104
00:12:58,270 --> 00:13:01,570
After I was plotted against, Miss Yue Ying saved me!
105
00:13:01,570 --> 00:13:06,580
I have no one to depend on now. I can only live through Guihua City.
106
00:13:06,580 --> 00:13:09,070
Please take me in!
107
00:13:16,770 --> 00:13:20,880
If you want to ask anything, you don't need to get it from me! Just go ask Gong Zi!
108
00:13:21,890 --> 00:13:24,290
I do not dare to disobey Gong Zi's words.
109
00:13:24,290 --> 00:13:28,030
But at least I can still
110
00:13:28,030 --> 00:13:30,680
punish rude juniors!
111
00:13:41,090 --> 00:13:45,450
I am old. I need some exercise now and then.
112
00:13:45,450 --> 00:13:49,660
If I really get into a fight, injuries are not a big issue.
113
00:13:49,660 --> 00:13:53,620
It would not be good if our relationship was harmed.
114
00:13:58,130 --> 00:14:00,730
Your looks aren't bad.
115
00:14:01,990 --> 00:14:04,130
What was your name again?
116
00:14:05,290 --> 00:14:06,590
Su Qixue.
117
00:14:06,590 --> 00:14:09,780
You... weren't afraid just now?
118
00:14:10,820 --> 00:14:12,440
I was.
119
00:14:15,150 --> 00:14:17,170
But I can still handle it!
120
00:14:18,030 --> 00:14:22,880
Not only are you good looking, you are brave as well.
121
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,650
She is stronger than others.
122
00:14:26,650 --> 00:14:28,770
The City Master knows even the smallest detail.
123
00:14:28,770 --> 00:14:33,070
But Miss, are you really willing to stay at Guihua City?
124
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,260
I am willing!
125
00:14:40,260 --> 00:14:43,920
Then stay. Once you are in Guihua City,
126
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,390
do not ever mention your past again.
127
00:14:46,390 --> 00:14:50,010
From now on, your name will be Wan Mei.
128
00:14:50,010 --> 00:14:54,610
Your Shadow will teach you properly.
129
00:14:54,610 --> 00:14:58,490
C-City Master! Didn't you already give me the name Wan Mei?
130
00:14:58,490 --> 00:15:01,660
City Master, did you forget?
131
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,370
Are you questioning me?
132
00:15:05,370 --> 00:15:07,110
C-City Master!
133
00:15:07,110 --> 00:15:10,570
Wan Xiang! Did I give her a name just now?
134
00:15:10,570 --> 00:15:13,110
City Master, you liked the fragrance I made,
135
00:15:13,110 --> 00:15:15,020
so you gave me the name Wan Xiang.
136
00:15:15,020 --> 00:15:17,940
As for when this lady got a name...
137
00:15:18,790 --> 00:15:22,420
I do not know. Either my memories have failed me
138
00:15:22,420 --> 00:15:25,530
or she misunderstood your words.
139
00:15:25,530 --> 00:15:27,910
Now the candidate list
140
00:15:28,830 --> 00:15:30,260
is full.
141
00:15:30,260 --> 00:15:34,230
City Master! City Master! City Master!
142
00:15:34,230 --> 00:15:38,130
You said that as long as I gave up love and emotions, I could become an Earthly Assassin candidate!
143
00:15:38,130 --> 00:15:42,250
I don't want to go back to being someone's servant anymore! I'm begging you, please let me stay!
144
00:15:42,250 --> 00:15:45,240
Then I was wrong! You should forget what happened!
145
00:15:46,270 --> 00:15:51,340
City Master! City Master! Let me stay! City Master!
146
00:15:51,340 --> 00:15:55,640
City Master, you cannot be like this! City Master!
147
00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:00,390
With one word from Gong Zi, I broke my promise again.
148
00:16:00,390 --> 00:16:02,030
Goodbye then!
149
00:16:07,450 --> 00:16:09,150
You don't need to follow me.
150
00:16:09,150 --> 00:16:12,110
From now on, I will only call you Wan Mei.
151
00:16:12,110 --> 00:16:16,680
You don't know who I am and I do not care what happens to you in the future.
152
00:17:02,210 --> 00:17:04,520
Thank you for taking me in!
153
00:17:06,710 --> 00:17:09,310
Torture Chamber Master, I'm tired.
154
00:17:09,310 --> 00:17:13,990
Take Wan Mei and Wan Xiang to pick their Shadows.
155
00:17:30,900 --> 00:17:33,080
Bring me my whip!
156
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,150
You are trying to guess what type of person I am.
157
00:17:46,180 --> 00:17:48,590
I am quite curious.
158
00:17:48,590 --> 00:17:50,860
I am your enemy.
159
00:17:50,860 --> 00:17:54,690
I was at Dingxiang Pavilion last night, too. To enter Guihua City,
160
00:17:54,690 --> 00:17:59,410
I prepared for over half a year. I was just about to finish the last test.
161
00:17:59,410 --> 00:18:01,460
Then, you suddenly appeared.
162
00:18:01,460 --> 00:18:03,870
You destroyed all my plans.
163
00:18:05,290 --> 00:18:07,170
But you still got in!
164
00:18:07,170 --> 00:18:09,150
Getting in is just the first step.
165
00:18:09,710 --> 00:18:12,560
If you want to live at ease here,
166
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,380
you must stretch yourself to the limit at all times.
167
00:18:16,410 --> 00:18:18,100
Also,
168
00:18:20,450 --> 00:18:25,170
if you fail in your mission, you will pay with your life.
169
00:18:25,170 --> 00:18:30,150
Do you know? There is only one vacant Earthly Assassin position.
170
00:18:32,770 --> 00:18:35,960
Let me tell you something. That position,
171
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,290
can only be mine.
172
00:18:39,410 --> 00:18:42,890
Your confidence is great!
173
00:18:57,650 --> 00:19:02,110
Pick one from among these people to be your Shadow.
174
00:19:02,110 --> 00:19:08,970
In the future, you will be with him in your daily lives, training, and carrying out missions.
175
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:11,700
Chang An!
176
00:19:11,700 --> 00:19:16,320
His name is Chang An. His previous master failed in her mission and died.
177
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,960
If he cannot find a new master within seven days,
178
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,160
he can only die, too.
179
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,040
Then how long has he been waiting?
180
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,330
Exactly seven days.
181
00:19:31,330 --> 00:19:34,000
How useless.
182
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,490
Since it's like that, give him to me!
183
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,090
You traitors!
184
00:19:45,750 --> 00:19:48,390
Let's see if you dare to do it again!
185
00:19:48,390 --> 00:19:50,190
City Master.
186
00:20:01,330 --> 00:20:03,390
You may leave first.
187
00:20:09,790 --> 00:20:14,430
What? Are you still thinking about Yue Ying's words?
188
00:20:16,300 --> 00:20:20,880
If he dares to send people in as he pleases today,
189
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,730
who knows what he will do tomorrow?
190
00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:28,800
If not for his identity, I would have already--
191
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,020
Don't fret. Come.
192
00:20:35,570 --> 00:20:38,320
It is not time yet.
193
00:20:39,230 --> 00:20:43,770
That's why I held it in! And that girl!
194
00:20:43,770 --> 00:20:48,260
What does she count as? She was so rude!
195
00:20:48,260 --> 00:20:53,290
She utilized Yue Ying's support to act so arrogantly with me. She wants to become an Earthly Assassin?
196
00:20:53,290 --> 00:20:58,090
Once she is in my hands, will she still be able to live well?
197
00:20:58,090 --> 00:21:02,360
You are the City Master. If you want to punish a junior,
198
00:21:02,360 --> 00:21:05,330
it is extremely easy to do!
199
00:21:08,980 --> 00:21:13,140
Now that I think about it, you are right.
200
00:21:14,500 --> 00:21:16,890
Go and create a
201
00:21:16,890 --> 00:21:19,810
unique box of rouge.
202
00:21:19,810 --> 00:21:23,930
Tomorrow at the welcome feast, I will personally give it to her.
203
00:21:23,930 --> 00:21:26,570
It will be my welcome gift.
204
00:21:27,420 --> 00:21:30,600
I think you have a second order.
205
00:21:31,340 --> 00:21:37,320
You can add some corpse powder of frost-winged gu cicadas to it. (Gu - poison / poisonous)
206
00:21:40,790 --> 00:21:45,550
[Yunjing Pavilion]
207
00:21:48,660 --> 00:21:52,520
- You have set times when the doors are opened and closed?
- Yes.
208
00:21:53,260 --> 00:21:55,680
This place is quite interesting!
209
00:21:57,370 --> 00:22:00,200
There are indeed many interesting things,
210
00:22:01,370 --> 00:22:04,790
but not many of them sound pleasant.
211
00:22:06,470 --> 00:22:07,750
Hey, tell me!
212
00:22:08,050 --> 00:22:10,400
You are nothing right now, Master.
213
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,140
You still need to go through an interview and a qualification competition
214
00:22:13,140 --> 00:22:15,590
before you can become an Earthly Assassin.
215
00:22:16,620 --> 00:22:17,470
Earthly Assassin?
216
00:22:17,470 --> 00:22:20,920
Guihua City is a city of assassins. It survives on business from the Jianghu. (Jianghu - Martial Arts community)
217
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,620
Earthly Assassins are the lowest ranked.
218
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,270
But I don't know any martial arts! How can I become an assassin?
219
00:22:29,270 --> 00:22:32,310
Just like there are different ways to make women's makeup,
220
00:22:32,310 --> 00:22:36,790
killing is the same. Your beauty and your courage
221
00:22:36,790 --> 00:22:39,450
will be your biggest weapons.
222
00:22:39,450 --> 00:22:43,360
When you get to the point where you need martial arts, you have me, your Shadow.
223
00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:47,250
After all, Shadows are meant for completing rough and dirty tasks.
224
00:22:51,190 --> 00:22:54,050
Torture Chamber Master said that in my future daily life,
225
00:22:54,050 --> 00:22:57,500
training, and completing missions, I will be with you.
226
00:22:57,500 --> 00:23:02,030
Yes. I will do as you say.
227
00:23:04,170 --> 00:23:06,300
I will follow you like a shadow.
228
00:23:15,060 --> 00:23:19,480
You are only living here temporarily. Once you become an Earthly Assassin,
229
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,020
you will move to the Earthly Assassin Courtyard.
230
00:23:22,020 --> 00:23:25,860
What if I fail to become an Earthly Assassin? What will happen to me?
231
00:23:28,490 --> 00:23:31,590
If you are lucky, you will be kicked out of Guihua City.
232
00:23:31,590 --> 00:23:36,030
Then... what if I'm not lucky?
233
00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:38,200
What?
234
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,160
Today is your first day in Guihua City.
235
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,510
I hope you will have a good sleep.
236
00:23:50,530 --> 00:23:54,960
Everyone is so mysterious! You and Miss Yue Ying both are!
237
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,450
If, during the welcome feast tomorrow,
238
00:23:57,450 --> 00:24:00,520
you pass City Master Cha Luo's interview,
239
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,400
I will tell you everything.
240
00:24:06,210 --> 00:24:10,450
Then what am I supposed to do right now? Practice martial arts or play with (devising) stratagems?
241
00:24:10,450 --> 00:24:14,080
What you need to do now is to bathe and preserve your skin.
242
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:18,800
Your skin is a little rough. It is not as soft and white as the other girls.
243
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,290
You must nourish it more.
244
00:24:26,270 --> 00:24:27,820
I think it's quite nice!
245
00:24:27,820 --> 00:24:32,540
It is easy to know if it is good or not. Put one drop of water on it.
246
00:24:32,540 --> 00:24:36,450
Let the water flow from top to bottom. If your skin is not damaged, the water drop will not become divided.
247
00:24:36,450 --> 00:24:40,450
If you are confident, you can give it a try.
248
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,290
I still think it's quite nice!
249
00:24:51,410 --> 00:24:55,180
[Tingzhu Courtyard]
250
00:24:56,850 --> 00:24:58,710
[Tingzhu Courtyard]
251
00:25:15,220 --> 00:25:19,220
Then, Cha Luo took that girl in
252
00:25:19,220 --> 00:25:21,260
and gave her the name Wan Mei?
253
00:25:21,260 --> 00:25:24,320
Yes. But I think
254
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,010
Cha Luo hasn't given in so easily.
255
00:25:27,940 --> 00:25:31,960
I think Wan Mei is in trouble.
256
00:25:34,020 --> 00:25:37,240
If you have something to say, just go ahead.
257
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,640
There are no other girls other than me here in Tingzhu Courtyard.
258
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,800
I am often away.
259
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,130
You need someone to take care of you, Gong Zi.
260
00:25:49,700 --> 00:25:52,110
I'm used to being alone.
261
00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:56,210
If I weren't a prince,
262
00:25:56,210 --> 00:25:59,370
I wouldn't even want the ten soldiers by my side.
263
00:26:02,980 --> 00:26:04,660
Or do you think
264
00:26:04,660 --> 00:26:08,370
a blind person like me must (always) have someone to care for him?
265
00:26:09,510 --> 00:26:11,360
I do not dare.
266
00:26:16,730 --> 00:26:21,640
Yue Ying, you still don't understand why I made this move.
267
00:26:22,700 --> 00:26:27,300
Whether she is Su Qixue or Wan Mei,
268
00:26:28,290 --> 00:26:30,740
to me, it's all insignificant.
269
00:26:32,890 --> 00:26:36,840
I had you bring her over because I wanted to remind Cha Luo
270
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:41,710
that I always get a large amount of news here in Tingzhu Courtyard.
271
00:26:41,710 --> 00:26:43,870
The more she can't retain her composure,
272
00:26:43,870 --> 00:26:47,250
the higher the chances she will show her weakness.
273
00:26:47,250 --> 00:26:49,880
After all, there are many days to come.
274
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,160
I'm just gambling against her
275
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,960
as far as time.
276
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,950
Welcome to Guihua City, Sisters!
277
00:27:09,950 --> 00:27:13,840
From now on, this will be your home.
278
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,600
A lot of people in the Jianghu realm question our existence.
279
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,030
In their eyes, all the sects in this world
280
00:27:21,030 --> 00:27:23,550
must be strictly good or strictly evil.
281
00:27:23,550 --> 00:27:26,780
But here in Guihua City, we have never concealed ourselves.
282
00:27:26,780 --> 00:27:30,700
We only do assassination business.
283
00:27:30,700 --> 00:27:35,400
No matter who it is, as long as they are on our Assassination List,
284
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,260
they have no chance of surviving.
285
00:27:38,260 --> 00:27:42,980
So, at tonight's feast, I would like to thank you all
286
00:27:42,980 --> 00:27:45,880
for your trust in Guihua City.
287
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:51,130
I will also pick girls among you of superior appearance,
288
00:27:51,130 --> 00:27:53,950
bestow upon them the distinction of a flower ornament,
289
00:27:53,950 --> 00:27:58,180
and give them the right to compete in the Earthly Assassin selection.
290
00:28:03,910 --> 00:28:06,020
Wan Chun!
291
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,320
Wan Xia!
292
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,250
Wan Qiu!
293
00:28:30,110 --> 00:28:31,940
Wan Dong!
294
00:28:39,050 --> 00:28:40,910
Wan Xiang!
295
00:29:19,010 --> 00:29:21,000
Wan Mei!
296
00:29:46,790 --> 00:29:51,210
Among these girls, you are the prettiest.
297
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,550
Come, let me take a good look at you.
298
00:30:09,130 --> 00:30:13,360
Sit! Sit!
299
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,740
City Master, please punish me. My Master is new and doesn't know the rules.
300
00:30:21,740 --> 00:30:24,820
She doesn't know that others cannot sit in your seat!
301
00:30:24,820 --> 00:30:28,460
Please spare her this once!
302
00:30:34,190 --> 00:30:39,010
I did not intend to do this! Please be understanding!
303
00:30:39,010 --> 00:30:42,950
Don't be afraid! Since I made you sit,
304
00:30:42,950 --> 00:30:45,320
you are not at fault.
305
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:49,660
There is only one City Master. I don't dare act rashly.
306
00:30:51,150 --> 00:30:54,140
You are a child who understands rules.
307
00:30:55,780 --> 00:30:59,290
Since you are so obedient,
308
00:30:59,290 --> 00:31:03,050
how could I punish you?
309
00:31:03,050 --> 00:31:07,450
I was too careless today.
310
00:31:07,450 --> 00:31:12,280
Xing Feng! Bring me that high-quality rouge.
311
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,550
Give it to Wan Mei.
312
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,110
City Master, I cannot possibly accept!
313
00:31:18,110 --> 00:31:22,030
If I want to give it to you, then just take it.
314
00:31:22,030 --> 00:31:24,720
Xing Feng! Go on.
315
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,130
Yes, City Master.
316
00:31:35,100 --> 00:31:38,960
Master, do not forsake City Master's good intentions.
317
00:32:07,070 --> 00:32:11,290
Chang An! Do you want to smell it? This rouge smells really nice!
318
00:32:12,630 --> 00:32:15,150
I just don't know if it can maintain its beauty
319
00:32:15,150 --> 00:32:17,710
if it's out here too long under the sun.
320
00:32:17,710 --> 00:32:20,120
City Master gave you rouge.
321
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,380
It may not be a good thing.
322
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,070
I know! City Master treats me like a target.
323
00:32:30,070 --> 00:32:34,110
But everything here depends on ability. I don't need to beg them.
324
00:32:34,110 --> 00:32:37,960
We have nothing to do with each other. What could she do to me?
325
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,550
Prevent troubles before they start. It's better to be more careful.
326
00:32:41,550 --> 00:32:45,010
You are too suspicious.
327
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,900
Is it because your previous Master failed,
328
00:32:53,900 --> 00:32:56,120
so you're being very careful?
329
00:32:57,500 --> 00:33:01,950
If you doubt my ability, you should not have chosen me, Master.
330
00:33:05,700 --> 00:33:07,770
I don't like the way you talk.
331
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,310
In Guihua City, if you fail, you may die without even an intact corpse.
332
00:33:13,310 --> 00:33:17,150
Reminding you more often is my job.
333
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:19,840
Then you must protect me even more!
334
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,230
You are my second master. If you fail,
335
00:33:23,230 --> 00:33:27,260
I will die a terrible death.
336
00:33:27,260 --> 00:33:30,450
So I will work hard, but not for your sake.
337
00:33:30,450 --> 00:33:32,530
It will be for myself.
338
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,160
Neither of us has a second chance.
339
00:33:42,100 --> 00:33:44,850
Naturally, we will work harder than others.
340
00:33:49,900 --> 00:33:53,840
Let's go. Take me to see Guihua City.
341
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,570
Yes.
342
00:33:55,570 --> 00:33:58,030
Guihua City used to be Empress Wu Zitian's secret bureau.
343
00:33:58,030 --> 00:34:02,630
After she retired, it became part of the Jianghu realm and does business there.
344
00:34:02,630 --> 00:34:05,060
The city has survived for a few hundred years.
345
00:34:05,060 --> 00:34:09,800
The entire mountain you see belongs to Guihua City.
346
00:34:11,900 --> 00:34:15,060
Where you are now living is called the Yunjing Pavilion.
347
00:34:15,060 --> 00:34:17,710
It is the lowest ranked place in Guihua City.
348
00:34:17,710 --> 00:34:20,950
It is for girls who've newly entered Guihua City.
349
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,090
This is the Earthly Assassin Courtyard.
350
00:34:26,090 --> 00:34:29,990
There are twelve identical courtyards within, one for each Earthly Assassin.
351
00:34:29,990 --> 00:34:33,550
Earthly Assassins are assassins, but they have no martial arts or internal power.
352
00:34:33,550 --> 00:34:36,930
They only use their beauty and intellect to complete their missions.
353
00:34:36,930 --> 00:34:39,790
There are four Heavenly Assassin Courtyards.
354
00:34:39,790 --> 00:34:42,950
They are evenly spaced halfway up the mountain of Guihua City.
355
00:34:42,950 --> 00:34:45,650
Heavenly Assassins are ranked one rank higher than Earthly Assassins.
356
00:34:45,650 --> 00:34:49,250
They can undergo martial arts and internal power training.
357
00:34:49,250 --> 00:34:54,180
Compared to Earthly Assassins, Heavenly Assassins have more freedom of movement.
358
00:34:54,180 --> 00:34:57,520
When you become an Earthly Assassin, you will be given an oil-paper umbrella.
359
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,590
This umbrella contains a drop of gu blood.
360
00:35:00,590 --> 00:35:05,060
Every time you kill someone, the umbrella will draw out the blood and turn it red once.
361
00:35:05,060 --> 00:35:10,350
A golden flower will then appear on the umbrella. It is called the "Golden Lily that Bursts from Earth."
362
00:35:11,020 --> 00:35:14,000
After you kill ten people, there will be ten "golden lilies."
363
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,580
In the tenth lily, there is a gu blood insect
364
00:35:16,580 --> 00:35:21,400
for the umbrella's master to use. When the gu insect enters her blood, her internal power will greatly increase.
365
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,590
Then she may become a Heavenly Assassin.
366
00:35:29,730 --> 00:35:35,400
[Supreme Assassin Courtyard]
367
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,260
This is the Supreme Assassin Courtyard. Guihua City has two Supreme Assassins,
368
00:35:40,260 --> 00:35:42,720
but there is only one Supreme Assassin within the Courtyard now.
369
00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:44,010
Why?
370
00:35:44,010 --> 00:35:46,760
The other Supreme Assassin is called Yue Ying.
371
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,630
She was the young lady who led you to Chuixing Tower yesterday.
372
00:35:49,630 --> 00:35:54,210
She lives elsewhere and is not under City Master Cha Luo's control.
373
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,590
Chang An, you're just in time!
374
00:36:00,590 --> 00:36:03,030
Master Liu Guang has approved the medicines you wanted.
375
00:36:03,030 --> 00:36:06,380
She said for you to pick them up in Suiguzi when you have time.
376
00:36:06,380 --> 00:36:08,070
Thank you.
377
00:36:20,670 --> 00:36:22,760
Why did you come here?
378
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,400
What is this place?
379
00:36:27,140 --> 00:36:28,860
Ancestral temple.
380
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,050
It is a place to pay respects... to dead assassins?
381
00:36:33,050 --> 00:36:38,980
Pay respects? Look at how broken down this place is, does this look like respect?
382
00:36:40,300 --> 00:36:44,160
Guihua City has many rules.
383
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,550
They cruelly torture people.
384
00:36:46,550 --> 00:36:51,260
Whenever a Supreme Assassin challenges the City Master and succeeds in gaining the position,
385
00:36:51,260 --> 00:36:55,490
they will use cruel methods to torture the previous City Master for revenge.
386
00:36:55,490 --> 00:36:58,730
So ever since Guihua City was established,
387
00:36:58,730 --> 00:37:00,870
no one has ever paid respects to the dead.
388
00:37:00,870 --> 00:37:03,960
They just write down the previous City Master's name
389
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,570
and leave it in this broken down temple.
390
00:37:09,700 --> 00:37:11,210
Only City Masters?
391
00:37:11,210 --> 00:37:15,420
Guihua City will not keep useless people around.
392
00:37:15,420 --> 00:37:19,960
The same goes for the names of useless people.
393
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:24,380
The building with the white top is the Jigu Pavilion. Inside are makeup masters and tailors.
394
00:37:24,380 --> 00:37:28,400
Your daily necessities, makeup, clothes,
395
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,080
and every kind of poison or gu insect are provided by them.
396
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,730
Supreme Assassin Liu Guang is in charge of it all.
397
00:37:34,730 --> 00:37:38,110
The one with the long green corridor is the Suiguzi Pavilion.
398
00:37:38,110 --> 00:37:42,010
Inside, there are doctors and pharmacists. The buying and mixing of medicine
399
00:37:42,010 --> 00:37:46,220
is the job of Xing Feng, the Torture Chamber Master.
400
00:37:46,220 --> 00:37:50,880
Rewards and punishments are decided by the Torture Chamber. Qiantong monitors its investigations and interrogations.
401
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,200
In addition, attendants, kitchen servants, and hundreds of others
402
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:57,390
live behind Yunjing Pavilion. If not for a special reason, they will never come outside.
403
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,020
Miss Yan Qin.
404
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,100
Your vital gate is purplish black and your linea alba now reaches your ear.
405
00:38:08,100 --> 00:38:11,600
Miss, I don't think you can live for much longer!
406
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,050
Miss Yan Qin, you have been at Guihua City for a long time.
407
00:38:14,050 --> 00:38:18,270
Receiving your advice is Master Wan Mei's honor.
408
00:38:23,300 --> 00:38:28,030
Master, it is getting late. We should go back.
409
00:38:33,100 --> 00:38:40,590
[Yunjing Pavilion]
410
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,220
Master.
411
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,900
You have to begin practicing for the Earthly Assassin candidacy test tomorrow.
412
00:39:05,900 --> 00:39:08,000
You should sleep early.
413
00:39:13,700 --> 00:39:17,590
That Yan Qin is one of the four Heavenly Assassins.
414
00:39:17,590 --> 00:39:22,390
She is rude and insolent. You don't have to lower yourself to her level.
415
00:39:26,100 --> 00:39:30,070
I am from a low class. It was already very hard for me to get here alive!
416
00:39:30,070 --> 00:39:31,960
I will not argue with others.
417
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:36,090
You may come from a poor family, but you are not from a low class.
418
00:39:36,090 --> 00:39:39,850
I believe that since you are here in Guihua City,
419
00:39:39,850 --> 00:39:42,480
you should forget the past.
420
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,660
Act according to Guihua City's rules
421
00:39:44,660 --> 00:39:48,530
and create a new path for yourself.
422
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,620
But I've never killed someone before.
423
00:39:54,620 --> 00:39:57,060
If you don't like it,
424
00:39:57,060 --> 00:40:00,970
you can let others kill you. For example,
425
00:40:00,970 --> 00:40:03,890
that girl named Wan Xiang.
426
00:40:03,890 --> 00:40:08,790
It is late. Go back inside and sleep.
427
00:40:27,500 --> 00:40:30,760
Master, you are afraid of the dark?
428
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:35,340
I'm not very used to it.
429
00:40:35,340 --> 00:40:38,720
When is Guihua City ever not dark as night?
430
00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:42,670
Master, light will not reach this place.
431
00:40:56,200 --> 00:41:06,200
