(FN) LOVE AND REDEMPTION

(FN) EPISODE 8

Give up. You can't pass. I am you.

Hurting me will only hurt yourself.

Give up!

Why do you have to torture yourself like this?

Xuan Ji.

The last stage of 13 Punishments is right in front of me.

I've expended too much of my energy before this.

But it's alright.

I will go out.

I won't be defeated here.

Si Feng.

You are indeed my best disciple.

All these years,

there are only a few who survived the 13 Punishments.

Master.

No wonder you can ignore the palace rules.

Since you've reached the last stage of 13 Punishments,

you just need to make a choice.

Just wear this mask in front of you

and you'll be able to regain your freedom

and return to Lize Palace.

Hurry up.

Wear the mask.

This is

the Loveless Mask?

You are right.

This is the Loveless Mask.

The person who wears this mask

will have to be heartless

and loveless

from now on.

Heartless and loveless.

After you wear this mask, you have to abandon all of your feelings.

Or else, this Loveless Mask will take root inside your body.

Every time you are hurt emotionally,

you'll be cursed.

After three times, you'll die.

It means that

you are exchanging your feelings for your freedom.

You are just getting rid of your emotions and feelings.

Compared to suffering in the 13 Punishments forever,

this is nothing.

Hurry up.

Hurry up and wear the mask.

Humans are not objects. How can we be emotionless?

If you want me to live like an ice forever,

how's that different from being a zombie?

Si Feng.

Stop being so stubborn anymore.

Listen to me.

Wear the Loveless Mask

and become someone without any emotions.

That way, I can protect you forever.

Master.

I don't understand.

Why does Lize Palace want to shackle us from our own emotions?

Why can't we be like other sects?

Why can't we form bonds to support and love each other?

What's wrong with living like a real human with real emotions?

I won't wear

-this mask. -Insolent fool!

If I ask you to wear it, wear it.

Or else, you'll never get out from this 13 Punishments Lianyu Pagoda.

Little Si Feng, wear the mask.

This is not a normal virtual land.

Are you going to be stubborn until the end?

Si Feng, you are born with talents that others can only dream for.

But you are wasting it like this. Such a disappointment!

You want to choose feelings?

But do you know what feelings are?

How long can feelings last?

Feelings are just lies!

The Loveless Mask is right in front of you.

Think about it carefully.

If you don't wear it,

you'll stay inside here forever!

If I can come in,

I can definitely get out.

I'll find a way to get out.

Go ahead and try then.

Senior.

You haven't improved at all.

-Are you slacking off lately again? -No.

But I remember you said that the Five Elements Spell

requires the caster to feel the spirits of the five elements in this world.

Maybe I can't improve because

all of my six senses

-are undeveloped and I can't feel them. -Nonsense.

You just need to train hard.

(FN) MIRROR OF ORIGIN

Mirror of Origin?

This is what the merman told me.

I...

Senior!

Why wouldn't you let me read that book?

Why do you want to read it?

Because the book stated that

the Mirror of Origin can help me get back my six senses.

So, I want to read about it.

Who told you about it?

It's...

I heard it from someone.

So, I want to give it a try.

Listen to me, Xuan Ji.

You are not allowed to investigate about Mirror of Origin anymore.

Why are you so mad? I just want to become a normal human.

I want to feel what normal people can feel.

-What did I do wrong? -I've told you many times.

You shouldn't care about having the six senses or not.

But you are still distracted with that by

readings books that you shouldn't. You don't know what you did wrong?

Looks like I have to punish you for real today.

Go to the back of the mountain to chop down the bamboos.

You are not allowed to eat until you've chopped them down.

I...

Senior Hao Chen, you...

You are as stubborn as ever.

As long as I can wipe off your memory about the Mirror of Origin,

you won't be obsessed with it anymore.

Looks like I really can't use any of my power in the mortal realm.

The trial that you'll face in this lifetime will be your last chance.

Xuan Ji.

What can I do

to protect you in this life

so that you can pass the trial without problem?

What is it?

Are you still angry at me?

I wouldn't dare.

I just want to get this done earlier so that I can eat.

No need to chop anymore.

I was too strict that day.

I shouldn't have blamed everything on you.

Xuan Ji.

You don't know about it.

But this Mirror of Origin is an evil mirror.

Not only it can't help you recover your six senses,

it can even bewitch you

and mess with your mind.

How is that possible?

This mirror will use the demon and obsession in your heart

to put you into an imaginary land

and feed on your soul.

If someone urges you to look for that Mirror of Origin,

I'm afraid that the person must have an ulterior motive.

I know that

having no six senses

bothers you a lot.

I was too emotional that day.

I just want to tell you that

your six senses won't affect anything in your life.

But sometimes,

I'll feel like a freak.

Extraordinary people are always born different.

Although you don't have six senses,

you can smell the demonic aura.

Although you can't tell whether a sound is pleasant or not,

you can hear the sound of demons.

It means that

you are born with the talents to hunt monsters and demons.

You are destined

to be the protector of the secret ground.

You just need to remember this.

Then, you won't have to care about

what you don't have.

But...

No matter you have six senses or not,

you are just you.

People who really care about you

won't treat you differently just because you are not the same.

In my heart,

you'll always be the unique Xuan Ji that I know.

Senior Hao Chen, I was too impulsive that day.

I shouldn't have butted head with you.

Listen to me. Don't think about those unnecessary things.

And don't look for that Mirror of Origin.

I don't want you to be used by those who bear you ill will.

Okay. I promise you, Senior Hao Chen.

You are hungry, right? You little glutton.

So many delicious food! Senior Hao Chen.

Didn't you say that I cannot eat too full?

Why did you buy so much delicious food for me today?

Have you forgotten that it's your birthday today?

That's right. When it was my birthday in the past,

Ling Long would treat me to delicious food too.

But back then, I couldn't taste anything at all.

By the way, Senior Hao Chen.

Today is Si Feng's birthday too.

Can you give me that Sound Bell for a moment?

I want to wish him happy birthday.

Fine.

Eat slowly.

I can only wish him in my heart then.

He's such a particular person. I'm sure that he'll treat his birthday well.

I'm sure that he'll celebrate it with good food and drinks.

Xuan Ji.

This is my 353rd day in this wretched place.

I still can't pass

this last stage.

And...

I still haven't heard anything from you yet.

Maybe that bell is really broken.

Xuan Ji.

I might not be able to keep my promise anymore.

I really can't take it anymore.

It's your birthday today.

I know that you can't hear me.

Happy birthday.

I wish that you can live happily forever.

I wish that you can live your life freely however you like it.

Senior Hao Chen.

Senior Hao Chen, this is the nectar that I brewed myself.

I put a lot of effort into it. Please accept it.

Thank you for your kindness.

Since you've put a lot of effort into it,

you should keep it for yourself.

Senior Hao Chen.

All these years, can't you tell about the feelings I have for you?

-Actually, I-- -If it's pointless, don't say it.

You won't even give me a chance to confess?

I'm cultivating the Heartless Path.

Whether you say it out or not,

it doesn't matter to me.

Senior.

Although you look so gentlemanly and gentle

on the surface,

you are actually

a cruel and cold person!

Besides Xuan Ji,

you've never cared about other people at all!

Come out.

You eavesdrop on people now?

There will be a way out.

I don't believe it.

So, the one Senior Duan Qing likes is you?

Why didn't you accept her?

I think Senior Duan Qing is quite nice.

Haven't I told you before?

We are on the Heartless Path.

We cannot love someone.

I know.

But don't you want someone to love?

Only the path I've chosen is the right one. The rest is unimportant.

You can't be distracted.

So stay focus and say no more.

Since it's your birthday today,

I'll make another exception to let you drink today.

Wait here. I'll get the grape wine.

I think my stuffs are in this library too.

I should find the Sound Bell and have a talk with Si Feng.

Si Feng.

Si Feng.

-Si Feng! -Junior.

What are you doing?

I...

Senior.

I don't understand what you said just now.

So, I want to ask my friend about it through the Sound Bell.

You don't know what love means. Don't think too much.

Says who? I have someone I like too.

I like Sixth Senior.

Min Yan? You like Min Yan?

Let me tell you. I've collected a lot of fruits for Sixth Senior.

Senior Duan Qing told me that

I have to share the things that I like with the one whom I like.

Why are you laughing?

You've come here for so long and this is the first time you mentioned about him.

What's wrong with that?

You don't even know what you are talking about.

Did you hear that?

What did I say?

You are struggling so hard here

to keep that vague and insubstantial love.

And you put yourself into such a bad shape.

But what do you get?

This is just a one-sided love.

She doesn't even care about you.

You were never in

Chu Xuan Ji's heart at all.

The feelings in this world

are the coldest and the most illusory things

in this world.

Don't you know

who you are?

You shouldn't have

dabbled in love at all!

Lize Palace is your one true destiny.

I've given you one year.

I think you get it now.

Wear the Loveless Mask.

And you'll still be the first pupil of Lize Palace.

And you'll still be

my successor in the future.

If others dare comment about it,

I'll kill them.

Si Feng.

You still can't let go of those insubstantial feelings?

Fine.

Don't blame me

for forcing you then!

Brother Liu.

Liu Yi Huan is a traitor.

The rope on him

will descend two feet every two hours.

At midnight,

he'll fall into the poisonous swamp below him

and be disintegrated whole.

Master.

I'm the one who broke the rules. You should punish me instead.

This has nothing to do with Brother Liu. Let him go!

Liu Yi Huan is the criminal of Lize Palace.

But he tried to escape.

We caught him and now, he'll be punished to death.

But since you are pleading on his behalf,

I can spare him.

I think you know what I mean.

He's at Houyuan Bell Room inside Fengqi Hall.

If you want to save him, the only way

is to wear this Loveless Mask and walk out from this place.

Let me remind you.

After midnight,

your friend will turn into a corpse.

I am Chu Xuan Ji.

You are my first friend from outside of Shaoyang.

It's your birthday today.

So, I made a birthday cake for you.

Ling Long said that we are destined to meet each other.

I really didn't know how I fell here.

And then...

And then, I can't fly.

What are you doing?

Your shirt is dirty. Let me clean it for you.

Don't touch me.

How can you talk like this?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to knock over your tea.

Why is it always you?

-Little Stammer, do you feel very hot? -I...

-No. -No?

Don't worry. I have a way to get pass the Candle Dragon.

We can use this.

This Lightning Truncheon only allows one person to use it.

But there are two of us.

Just act like we are one.

Don't move. I'm going to cast the spell now.

Si Feng, you smiled.

Your smile is so pretty.

Your smile is like this wine.

So, I think you look really good when you smile.

You have to smile more from now on. Like this.

Like this.

Don't you know

who you are?

After midnight,

your friend will turn into a corpse.

I'm here to bring you some dried fruits. They are very sweet.

You are kneeling. After eating some sweet, dried fruits,

you won't feel painful anymore. Here.

Don't worry.

I'll find those mirror shards for you

so that you can restore your six senses.

It's a deal then.

It's a deal then. After four years,

we'll roam the world and train together.

-You are using saliva again. -Ling Long said that

this is the most unbreakable vow.

Then, you won't break your promise.

Brother Liu. Are you alright?

Little Phoenix.

The mask on your face.

It's fine.

I heard those two monsters.

This is the Loveless Mask.

You did it to save me.

I owe you a big one.

Maybe my master is right.

Love in this world

is not as beautiful as I think it is.

But cutting it away,

it'll be less painful and less grudges for myself.

Didn't you leave Lize Palace to save your daughter?

How is she?

When I went there,

I could almost save her.

But at that time, she suddenly disappeared right in front of me.

What is your plan then?

I heard that the heavenly realm has a celestial eye that sees everything.

As long as I can find Yu'er,

I'm willing to risk my life to try and do that.

Who are you?

Where am I?

I'm sure that you've heard about the Sky Hall before.

Sky Hall?

Why did you bring me here?

The five sects are cornering you like a rat.

Don't you want to seek revenge?

Since we have the same enemy,

why don't we work together?

You want to use me?

We'll have to see if you are worthy enough to be used by me.

What else can you do now?

Your turn. What's wrong?

Xuyang Peak must be very cold now.

I wonder if Xuan Ji brought enough clothes with her or not.

Don't worry. Xuan Ji can't feel the cold anyway.

Look at the board. I took away five of your chess pieces already.

Little Six,

-I was not paying attention. You can't-- -Stop playing.

Master asked us to go to Bamboo Forest Jian

to help him choose some new disciples.

Wait, First Senior.

I don't believe that I can't win Little Six.

I...

I'll put it here.

So unfortunate.

You could've won another round

if you put it...

I don't want to put it here then.

It's too late to change.

We have a deal. Loser has to act like a dog.

Don't be a sore loser.

How does a dog bark? Do it.

Woof!

I hate you the most!

Ling Long, you said that you won't be a sore loser!

Both of you have never changed since young.

Both of you always quarrel.

(FN) PALACE HALL

Greetings, Master.

Master, Xuan Ji can already break the Barrier Formation.

Xuan Ji.

You are here for four years already.

Now, you've improved a lot.

I'm relieved.

According to the rules of the deity,

you are old enough to start your first trial.

I should let you go back to Shouyang Peak first.

I can go back to Shouyang Peak?

Then, I can meet Ling Long and Sixth Senior again.

Awesome!

But remember.

No matter when it is or where you are,

you have to remember

your mission as the disciple of Xuyang Peak.

Do you mean the protection of the secret ground?

The secret ground of Shaoyang will affect the safety of the three realms.

As the protector of the secret ground,

it's a great responsibility for you.

And it's not an easy thing to protect the secret ground.

It's the most important thing in your life.

You have to give your everything to it.

Other things will always come second.

You have to be always prepared

to lay down your life to protect the secret ground.

Understand?

Good.

Today, you'll make a vow

to protect the secret ground forever

and the safety of the whole world.

Yes, Master.

I, Chu Xuan Ji, vow that

I'll protect the secret ground forever.

Ling Long. You must be thirsty.

I brought you a cup of tea. Have a taste.

How is it?

It's not good.

Senior.

Senior, when can you bring me to Shouyang Peak?

-Shouyang Peak? You-- -Yes.

-Zhong Min Yan, you-- -Senior.

-Senior! -She--

Senior.

-You-- -When will we go there?

No.

Senior!

-Senior! -Xuan Ji!

Xuan Ji.

Ling Long, Sixth Senior.

Xuan Ji, what are you doing?

-She is a demon. -Save me, Senior!

Xuan Ji, you misunderstood her!

No, I didn't.

Show yourself!

What happened?

-It's Shadow Demon. -Let's go and help her!

Wait!

-Father, Xuan Ji-- -Master, Xuan Ji is in danger.

I want to see

-how much has she improved in four years. -But...

Xuan Ji, be careful!

-Xuan Ji! -Xuan Ji!

Ling Long!

You brat. How can you just come back without any notice?

Do you know how unprepared I am after not seeing you for four years?

I want to give you a surprise.

This is not a surprise. You scared me.

You fought so many demons alone.

Let me see if you are hurt or not.

I'm fine.

I've become strong now. I can protect you now.

-I really miss you. -Me too.

-Xuan Ji. -Junior Xuan Ji.

You fought very well just now.

Sixth Senior, First Senior, Second Senior, Fifth Senior.

Long time no see.

You are so biased.

How could you call Sixth Senior first before addressing me and First Senior?

That's because I'm her favourite Sixth Senior.

You've grown up and become prettier.

Of course. Xuan Ji is a born beauty.

I wonder who it is who kept holding onto a demon just now.

You kept holding onto a demon.

I didn't do that.

After fighting the demon just now, I'm hungry.

You are in luck. We have Eight Treasures Chicken with Longan

and roasted lamb shank. They are delicious.

So much food? Stop talking and let's eat. I'm hungry. Let's go.

-Let's go. -Let's go.

Those demons even dare to try infiltrating into our sect.

You have to check

all the new disciples.

Could it be that the demon clan know that the thing in Shaoyang secret ground is...

If they are really here for the secret ground,

they won't be so easily defeated.

Maybe they are just trying to install some spies

into our sect.

Sect Leader. We've been investigating that Sky Hall for the past four years.

But we couldn't find anything.

After all, our ancestors and the deities

had annihilated them back then.

Only some weak and scattered demons are left.

I don't think they'll be able to do anything.

Our ancestor received an oracle in the past.

It's said that there will be a calamity within these 30 years.

Now, 20 years have passed. We have only 10 more years.

We have to be careful.

Alright. Send someone to inform all the major sects.

Tell them to be careful.

Yes, Sect Leader.

-Father, we are back! -Father!

Xuan Ji.

You've improved a lot.

Father, you saw me just now?

Father, Xuan Ji can control the Five Elements Spell with ease now.

Other seniors might not be able to do that too.

They used to say that my sister is weak. Now,

we should show them how awesome she is.

Xuan Ji, you are much better than what I've expected.

For the past four years,

Master Heng Yang was meditating in seclusion.

You were single-handedly taught by Senior Hao Chen.

To find great teacher and good friends in life

are difficult.

You are really blessed and lucky

to have met Senior Hao Chen.

Don't ever forget about his kindness for teaching you.

You have to treat him with respect from now on.

Understand?

Father, I'll remember that.

Both of you are 20 years old now.

According to Shaoyang's rules, you have to train for a year in the real world

to gain experience and build your personality.

You'll train together with Min Yan in the real world after a few days.

-Great! We can go down to play now! -Great!

I didn't ask you to go there to play.

If you see

any demons attacking people or criminals causing troubles,

you have to fulfil your duty as a cultivator.

Don't do anything that will humiliate our Shaoyang Sect. Understand?

-Yes, father. -Yes, father.

Junior.

Fifth Senior.

All of your things in Xuyang Peak have been sent back here.

Thank you, Fifth Senior.

Si Feng.

Si Feng, are you there?

Si Feng.

Si Feng.

Si Feng, are you there?

Little Phoenix. Looks like you've improved a lot

when I was away.

Brother Liu?

Why are you here? What if others found out?

I have the celestial eye now.

What can Lize Palace do to me?

You've succeeded?

This celestial eye is useless in the heavenly realm.

They don't need it.

Even since it's made, it has been discarded to the side.

So, I just found it purely by accident.

So, I borrowed it from them.

After I find Yu'er, I'll just return it to them.

They won't know.

Have you found Yu'er then?

Yu'er must be still trapped by her kidnapper. They blocked her aura.

But the real reason is, I just got this celestial eye and I can't use it well yet.

I can only feel a faint trace of her.

And it takes a lot of energy to open it. I can't open it the second time at once.

So, I can only look around with the faint trace that I felt.

In the past,

I didn't do my duty as a father.

So this time, I have to find her no matter what.

Be patient, Brother Liu.

Since you already got the Celestial Eye, you'll find Yu'er eventually.

You are wearing this mask because of me.

But don't worry. I'll definitely

help you to find a way to remove this Loveless Mask.
