(FN) LOVE AND REDEMPTION

(FN) EPISODE SEVEN

So, the lady you like is called Xuan Ji.

Brother Liu.

You eavesdropped on me.

If I didn't do that,

how would I know that you'll be so lovesick.

You can't even save yourself.

And you are still thinking about your lover?

But does your lover know that you are

being punished here because of her?

Of course she knows.

We made a deal.

We are going to roam the world and train together.

We still have a long way ahead of us.

The future?

Are you that confident that you can survive the 13 Punishments?

Of course.

I still have a lot of things that I haven't do yet.

I promised Xuan Ji that

I'm going to find the Mirror of Origin for her.

I will not let myself die in that 13 Punishments.

Mirror of Origin?

Isn't that the magical mirror where you can see your previous life?

Brother Liu, you know about it too?

It's used to be a mythological object from the heavenly realm.

But it's broken and scattered across the world, right?

Yes. I'm going to collect all of the pieces.

Collect all of the pieces?

Little Phoenix.

If I tell you that

I've seen a piece of the Mirror of Origin before,

how are you going to repay me?

Brother Liu, where did you see it?

When I was digging the secret tunnel,

I was climbing on top of the Kushui River.

Suddenly, a ray of bright light shone into my eyes.

So dazzlingly bright.

When I paused to look at it, a saw a mirror shard

lying on top of the riverbed of Kushui River.

It's the same shard that I saw in the Ancient Record of Magical Objects.

Brother Liu, how can I get into the Kushui River then?

Tell me.

Little Phoenix. Actually, I just saw it from afar that day.

I'm not sure whether it's the shard of the Mirror of Origin.

No need to make yourself suffer.

I promised Xuan Ji.

The water of Kushui River is not normal water.

You'll feel like you've been burnt just by touching it.

Besides, the deeper you go, the more painful it is.

You can't bear with that kind of bone-deep pain.

I can.

Xuan Ji.

Why did you agree to go to Xuyang Peak?

After you leave, we won't be able to be like this again.

If you are bullied,

I won't be able to protect you anymore. Do you know that?

Ling Long, I'm going there to become stronger.

Look. Our father is the sect leader of Shaoyang Sect.

He's so powerful.

But he has me, his useless daughter.

Moreover, I've embarrassed him so much

during the Flower Session.

Who said that you embarrassed him? I'll give him a piece of mind!

Ling Long, this is not what I meant.

Look. You are so smart. Everyone likes you.

But I always drag others down and bring troubles to everyone.

Even I, am sick of myself.

Besides, I'm going to Xuyang Peak to train this time.

After I finish my training, I can protect myself.

I might even be able to protect you.

So, don't worry about me anymore, okay?

Xuan Ji, if you want to learn,

I can teach you. You can learn slowly from me.

Can you don't go to Xuyang Peak?

Ling Long, don't be like this.

Why are you acting like a child?

It's not that I'm not coming back.

Okay now.

Little Phoenix, how are you feeling?

Don't act tough. Just come up if you can't take it anymore.

Dummy.

Okay then.

If they bully you over there,

you have to tell me.

Then, I'll tell father and ask him to bring you back, okay?

Okay, I'll definitely tell you if that happens.

Unfortunately, Si Feng is not here.

I really want to tell him about me going to Xuyang Peak.

Si Feng?

Oh, right.

I almost forgot again. Si Feng asked me to give you this.

You can use it to send your voice across the world.

You just need to activate it like you activate a spell.

Si Feng.

Little Phoenix, have you found it?

If you can't find it, give up! Come up!

Si Feng. I am Xuan Ji.

I want to tell you that I've recovered now.

What about you? Have you gone back to Lize Palace?

How is everything at Lize Palace?

Did I use it the wrong way?

Maybe the bell is not with Si Feng now.

Try it later.

Okay.

Ling Long, actually, I quite miss Si Feng.

I've decided. After I come back from Xuyang Peak,

we'll fly there with our swords to see him.

And then, we'll roam the world together, okay?

Good idea.

I think it'll take you 800 years until you can fly with your sword.

Little Six is so bad. Let's ignore him, Xuan Ji.

Ling Long, I think Sixth Senior is quite nice.

Xuan Ji, you are leaving tomorrow.

I brought a jar of good wine for you as farewell.

We'll drink until we drop today.

So, this is the Mirror of Origin.

Brother Liu, thank you.

Why are you thanking me?

You are the one who picked it up without a care for your life.

The bitter water in Kushui River

is really dangerous.

It's done.

I'll tell

Xuan Ji about this at once.

Xuan Ji.

Xuan Ji.

Xuan Ji.

Xuan Ji.

Xuan Ji.

Xuan Ji.

Xuan Ji.

Xuan Ji.

Xuan Ji!

You put it so much effort to help her find the shard.

But she doesn't even reply you.

-Xuan Ji. -Give it back.

Maybe

this bell is broken.

But I heard it very clearly just now.

She has already woken up but she still hasn't contacted you yet.

I think she has already forgotten about you.

You dummy.

There are so many pretty ladies in the world.

Why do you have to like a lady without six senses?

I think you must have grown dumb because you stay too long in Lize Palace.

I think you better escape from the secret tunnel now.

Leave Lize Palace and never come back.

Don't risk your life for the 13 Punishments too.

Now, I'm even more curious about this Miss Xuan Ji.

I want to take a good look at her if I have the chance.

I want to see why you are so obsessed with her.

You

should learn from me.

When I was young, I was charismatic and unrestrained.

I never stick to just one.

I like this one today and I like that one tomorrow.

How awesome it was.

I want to ask you.

Do you feel the same way towards Yu'er

and her mother?

When Yu'er's mother

was still young,

she was the most beautiful lady at

Yanhong Pavilion in Qingyang City.

Everyone was willing to spend thousands just to get into her good book.

But she had only eyes for me.

After I came back to the palace,

she found out that she is pregnant.

And she gave birth to Yu'er without my knowledge.

She even carried Yu'er

and travelled all the way

to Lize Palace.

This woman

was really brave.

Brother Liu.

But I've never heard you

mentioned about it before.

Just a state and boring past.

That time,

I wanted to live as a human for once

in seclusion with Yu'er and her mother

in the forest.

But I never thought that

the old palace lord would find out about it.

And after that,

Hong Yu was driven away.

Lize Palace is always like this.

It's inhumane.

At first, the old palace lord want to capture Yu'er too.

But I was holding his dark secret.

I was ready to go down with him.

And you know what happened next.

I made a vow

to stay in Lize Palace forever

to receive my punishment

in exchange for my daughter's life.

But luckily, I wasn't thrown into the 13 Punishments Lianyu Pagoda.

Or else, I would be long dead.

I see. So,

you entrusted Yu'er to a family of farmers near Lize Palace

but don't dare to meet up with her.

At least Yu'er

can live in peace.

When I'm free,

I can sneak out to watch her.

This is quite nice.

It's quite nice.

Time to eat.

Life is hard and short. Food and drinks are the most important thing.

Where did you get this money bag?

I'm the one who gave this to my daughter during her birthday this year.

Stop talking nonsense. You can't even get out from here.

How can you give present to your illegitimate daughter?

You have a tongue.

If you don't know how to speak, I'll pull it out for you.

Tell me. Where did you get this money bag?

I'll tell you. Just now, a crying old man

came to Lize Palace.

I was passing by. So, he gave me this money bag and

asked me to give you a letter.

You daughter was criticised for being an illegitimate child with no parents.

So, she got furious and fought with them.

In the end, she fell down the cliff and she is dying.

How can you only say that now?

-What can you do? You can't go out. -You!

Brother Liu, calm down.

Get lost!

Yu'er is in trouble. No.

I have to save her.

Brother Liu, leave first. I'll stop them.

-Little Phoenix, you-- -Say no more. Save your daughter first.

-Go now! -Be careful then!

You lost the mask and fell in love.

We haven't even trialled you for those yet.

And now, you helped the criminal, Liu Yi Huan, to escape.

This first pupil of Lize Palace is really awesome.

How dare you!

I know that I've broken the rules.

I'm willing to be punished.

But I don't think that I'm wrong.

Feelings and desires

are the most normal things in this world.

I don't know why

Lize Palace will have so many rules

that make us live like a living corpse.

Insolent fool!

You repeatedly committed the same mistake.

Do you still have respect for Lize Palace's rules?

You impenitence creature.

How dare you question the rules of our great ancestors.

Looks like you've made up your mind to stand against Lize Palace.

Palace Lord.

Are you still going to defend him this time?

Palace Lord, Yu Si Feng has broken the major rules of the palace on repeat.

He even rebels against us.

As the discipline elder of Lize Palace, please

send this disciple to 13 Punishments Lianyu Pagoda at once.

Please give your order!

Palace Lord.

Time to give your order.

Palace Lord.

Do you still remember this?

This is the Black Feather Medallion given by the old palace lord.

I can use it to keep palace lord in line when the situation calls for it.

Since you are quite biased towards Yu Si Feng,

I have no choice but to use this.

Stop forcing my master.

I'm willing to be punished.

Si Feng!

Si Feng!

You are willing to be punished.

Good.

From today onwards,

Yu Si Feng is no longer the first pupil of Lize Palace.

From now on, those who broke the rules will not be pardoned easily.

The same applies to even the best of us.

Guards.

Bring Yu Si Feng into the 13 Punishments Lianyu Pagoda.

Get lost!

All of you, go away!

Xuan Ji.

When you reach Xuyang Peak,

remember to listen to your master and your senior.

Train well.

Father.

Sister.

Sixth Senior. I'll be leaving now.

Take care of yourself.

Xuan Ji, I can't bear to part with you.

Me too.

Don't worry. Xuyang Peak

will take good care of Junior Xuan Ji.

Thank you, Senior Hao Chen.

Xuan Ji, let's go.

Xuan Ji.

Take care.

Take care.

Goodbye.

(FN) PALACE HALL

Xuan Ji.

Hao Chen said that

you are innocent and fearless.

I think he is right.

At first, I didn't plan to accept any more disciples

because I already have Hao Chen to take over my place one day.

But he kept on recommending you to me

so that I can accept you as my disciple.

After giving it a thought,

I think that

you are indeed a nice kid.

Senior.

Didn't you say that he chose me?

Quickly kneel and greet your master.

Master,

thank you for accepting me as your disciple.

Good. From today onwards,

you are Xuyang Peak's disciple.

From now on, you have to train hard

and bear the responsibility to guard Xuyang Peak.

Yes, Master.

Get up.

Hao Chen.

After reinforcing the barrier of the secret ground,

it's quite stable now.

I've decided to meditate in seclusion

to fully understand the essence of Heartless Tactics.

I just became his disciple and he's already going into seclusion?

When I'm not here,

all the disciples and matters of Xuyang Peak

will be under your care and jurisdiction.

Are you clear?

-Yes, Master. -Yes, Master.

Xuan Ji,

I've already passed down

everything I know to Hao Chen, your senior.

I feel rest assured for him to

train you.

Follow his teachings

and respect him like he's your master.

Don't slack off.

Yes, Master.

Don't worry, Master.

I'll do my best to train and teach her.

Senior, what is the Heartless Tactics that

master said just now? Is it something powerful?

That's the ultimate skill of Xuyang Peak.

The people who practise it should get rid of all emotions and distractions

to reach the state of Anatta, non-self.

This is the cultivation of Xuyang Peak since the ancient times.

The ultimate skill?

I won't be able to learn that. It has nothing to do with me.

You are thinking that this skill has nothing to do with you.

Right?

How do you know about that?

Your face is an open book.

It's quite difficult for normal people

to reach that state.

But your six senses are undeveloped. Your state of mind is different.

You are born to learn this Heartless Tactics of Xuyang Peak

to become its protector.

Senior.

What is a protector?

This is what I want to tell you.

Protector

is the duty of all disciples of Xuyang Peak.

You accidentally went into the secret ground,

you should know that there's a powerful celestial force inside.

If an evil man succeeds to break into it, the world will be in chaos.

The duty of the protector is to protect the secret ground with their lives.

Since you managed to come out from the secret ground unharmed,

maybe this is your destiny with the secret ground.

What's inside the secret ground?

It's not something that young disciples should ask.

Just remember your duty and mission.

Train hard.

If you manage to reach the state of immortality in the future,

your life will not be in vain.

Senior, I still have a question.

Why does human need to become a deity?

Isn't it nice to be a normal human?

Why do you have so many questions?

No matter it's human, monsters or demons,

all of them wants to become deities.

Become a deity

is the ultimate and the only true path in life.

You just need to remember this.

By the way, I've already put all of your things inside the library.

What things?

Your dagger, bell and kaleidoscope.

No. They are all gifts from others.

And they are my most precious things.

Xuan Ji, I just told you that

Xuyang Peak is all about reaching Anatta.

These things carry the feelings of others.

They'll disturb you from your training. Distractions.

So, you can't bring them with you.

Senior, I won't bring them with me.

I'll just keep them in my room.

Under the bed. I won't look at them often.

No.

Just one. Just give me one.

After you finish your training,

I'll give them back to you.

If that's the case,

can you give me the Sound Bell for a moment?

I want to talk to Si Feng for one last time.

At first, I wanted to tell him about me coming to Xuyang Peak

after everything is settled here.

Si Feng?

The disciple of Lize Palace?

Xuan Ji, you won't be able to meet him.

What's the point of contacting him then?

You just promised me that you'll listen to me.

I have no choice then.

I've made a deal to meet Si Feng four years later.

I'll just train well first and visit him in the future.

Why do you look so upset?

Since I took so many of your things,

how about I give you a gift?

This is awesome!

Every person in training needs to have a personal magical weapon.

I'll give you this Parting Umbrella as your weapon then.

Awesome.

When I go out in the future, I just need to bring this umbrella, right?

Not only it's a magical weapon,

it can even shield me from rain and sun.

Thank you, Senior.

You really like to slack off.

Senior, after I have this magical weapon,

does it mean that I can win even if I don't practise my spells?

Although it has some power in it,

if you are not well-trained, you won't be able to use it well.

You can't slack off.

Now, can you see the importance of training?

I get it now, Senior Hao Chen.

That 13 Punishments Lianyu Pagoda has 13 floors.

All 13 floors are full of vicious beasts, monsters and evil spirits.

Devilish formations that erode the soul and heart.

The one who is punished has to climb from the bottom to the top

to be able to survive it.

Xuan Ji.

I'm afraid that I'll be in a hard battle for quite a while.

But I won't forget about our deal.

I'll definitely come out alive.

Senior. I'm late.

Go ahead and punish me.

Why should I punish you?

Because...

Because I slacked off

and didn't get up in the morning to train.

If you are awake but your heart is not,

it'll only have the opposite effect on your training.

Don't worry. I won't force you to wake up early.

You are hungry?

You want to eat it?

Although you don't need to wake up early to train here,

we have our own rules.

First,

we only eat once a day.

If you want to eat,

you'll have to chase it by flying with your sword.

Senior.

I'm hungry.

I'm really hungry.

Bear with it.

Well.

I can't find any flint in my room.

I can't light up the lanterns.

Learn how to use the fire spell

to light up the candles then.

Light up.

Light up.

I'm hungry and it's dark.

Hurry up.

If you don't light up again,

I'll eat you.

Xuan Ji.

These 13 Punishments are harder than I thought.

I just managed to pass the first level.

But I can do it.

But I'm afraid that

it'll take me longer than expected to pass through all 13 floors.

You still haven't replied me until now.

I don't know if you can hear me or not.

Is the bell too hard for you to use

or did you lose the bell?

Senior Duan Qing.

Xuan Ji.

Did you just go to collect some nectar?

Yes. I love the nectar from various flowers.

So, I just collected some of them from the valley just now.

-Can I taste it? -Sure.

So sweet.

Senior Duan Qing, is this bottle full of nectar too?

Yes.

Can you give it to me then?

Well.

Can I make you another one?

This bottle is for someone else.

Who?

It...

It's someone I like.

I have someone I like too.

Then, you'll understand.

If you really like someone,

you'll want to share the thing you like the most with him.

Sharing the things I like with the person I like.

Is everyone like this?

Alright, Xuan Ji. I have to go now.

Since I've decided to like Sixth Senior,

I'm going to leave some of my fruits for him.

Senior Hao Chen.

Finally, you don't need to be hungry anymore.

Senior Hao Chen, haven't I improved a lot lately?

You can fly quite okay now.

Tomorrow, you'll take a spell test with other new disciples from outside.

Why?

You've studied in Xuyang Peak

for quite some time.

Today, we are going to test your basic spell skills.

-Are you ready? -Yes!

Xuan Ji.

I taught you myself.

Don't embarrass me.

Don't worry, Senior Hao Chen.

I'm ready.

Let's start.

Lightning Spell.

Wind Spell.

Okay.

Burrowing Spell.

Xuan Ji. You can go first.

Thank you, Senior Hao Chen.

Your spell is okay.

But you need to improve on your physical capability.

This is how you prepared for the exam?

I won't do it again.

Have you ever thought that

if it rained today

and it washed off all the spells you copied on your dress,

what are you going to do?

Luckily, it's not raining today.

You should at least find a fool-proof way if you are going to cheat.

That's it for today's test.

All of you have improved a lot.

-Continue to work hard tomorrow. -Yes, Senior!

Great. Now that I've embroidered them on, I won't forget about these spells.

And they won't be washed off too.

Senior, you are not angry, right?

As long as you know how to use it.

No matter what method you use,

be it memorising it or carrying it with you,

it's not important.

You are so kind.

Now, I can use any spells.

When I see my seniors and juniors when I go back to Mount Shaoyang,

they'll be shocked that I've improved

when I show them these five spells.

You can just barely perform those spells right now.

It's not something to be proud of yet.

From now on, you have to work harder to strengthen your spells

so that you can defeat real monsters and demons.

What? You already want to ambush me

with these petty skills of yours?

You are wrong, Senior.

I never thought that you can break the spell to my wine cellar.

You've improved.

I'll have to borrow this as a gift then.

This wine is for you.

But can I drink a little bit of it?

I've been craving for it lately.

Senior, the wine you brewed is really delicious.

It's the best.

Don't drink so much. I don't want you to be drunk.

Senior, I've been wanting to ask you this.

You are so amazing

and many seniors and juniors like you.

Are you really going to give up all of your feelings

to learn that Heartless Tactics

and guard the secret ground forever?

I'm born to guard that secret ground.

Only by being heartless can I get rid of the turmoil in this world

and neutralise the demons inside everyone.

Don't you want to be with your friends?

Friend?

I used to have a friend.

We were very close.

But she betrayed me

and committed a grave crime.

It's too bad that I didn't realise it sooner.

If I could help her out earlier,

perhaps

she wouldn't be like this today.

Betrayal?

Then, she is not a real friend.

My friends are all splendid.

They won't do this kind of thing.

Humans are unpredictable.

Your friends might change.

Xuan Ji, one day, you'll understand that

only by focusing on becoming a deity

can you get rid of all your worries right now.

Understand?

Yes.

Are you still unwilling to become a deity because you are still angry?

Is this the life that you want?

Do you know that I'm here to bring you back?

When we go back,

can we still be together

like before?
