[ Love and Destiny ]

[ Episode 56 ]

State Preceptor, you must decide quickly.

I heard that Elder Rongying of the Blue Bird Tribe

and General Lieyang of the White Bird Tribe

are privately moving.

The bloodline of the Phoenix Tribe has been severed.

Now, the hearts of the members of each tribe are gathering and moving.

State Preceptor, if you do not grab hold of this chance now,

I fear that you would just be favoring other people to achieve success.

The bloodline of the Phoenix Tribe...

State Preceptor.

Were you resting?

You need anything?

I have an item to give to you.

State Preceptor Jingxiu, is this true?

Heavenly Emperor, the State Master's position is very important. How could I dare make casual remarks?

State Preceptor Jingxiu, please rise.

Thank you, Heavenly Emperor.

State Preceptor Jingxiu, the choice for the next State Master of Shanling Tribe...

is Princess Ling Xi?

Indeed.

- State Preceptor, are you serious? - Of course.

I am still new here. How can I bear such a position?

With me around, you can do it.

Why?

You are State Master's biological daughter, bearing the bloodline of the Phoenix Tribe, and of high god status.

You are the best choice.

I want to know why it is not you.

My Xuan Bird Tribe has served the State Master of Shanling Tribe for generations.

We must not have disloyal thoughts. This is our ancestral teaching.

I have promised your mother

that I will guard you in this life. I will not go back on my words.

There are some things that Lin Mo may have avoided,

but Ling Xi cannot.

Maybe this is what responsibility is.

I will take my leave.

State Preceptor, are we really going to let Princess Ling Xi ascend to the position of State Master?

That royal throne is hers to begin with.

State Preceptor Jingxiu.

- I am going to the Shanling Realm. Come with me. - Yes.

Senior Deity, Ling Xi is here.

She is in Fuyun Hall.

She will become the State Master? Who does she think she is!

A minor immortal expelled from the Heavenly Race can be worthy to be the State Master of my Shanling Tribe!

Princess, please appease your anger. I also just heard it from others.

Maybe...maybe it was a false rumor?

False rumor? Can this matter be fake?

Is Brother Jingxiu crazy?

He and I have tens of thousands of years of affection.

I did so many things for him.

For him, even my mother's death—

Princess! Princess have you gone crazy because of anger?

No matter how mad you are, you must not blurt things out so casually, make rash remarks.

Moreover, even if it is true,

as long as she has not yet ascended to the throne, she cannot be considered the State Master yet.

State Preceptor Jingxiu and you have a relationship that has existed for a long time.

You know each other very well. That is a deep kind of affection.

As long as you step out and oppose it, State Preceptor will be sure take your side, Princess.

Oppose it? I think he has long forgotten my existence!

But I am not afraid. I will remind him.

As for that bitch...

Ling Xi, this time, will you be able to stay longer?

What? You miss me?

It is not about missing you or not.

Mainly, it is because of that Yuli.

Right now, she keeps coming here.

Always showing herself in front of Senior Deity.

I am worried for you.

It was not easy for you to die twice

before obtaining Senior Deity's heart.

We must not let others take advantage of your absence.

I am talking to you.

If you ask me, let us just directly do the method of "cooking the grain into rice". (T/N to natural end result)

Marry into our Fuyun Hall!

By then, no matter what tricks that Yuli does, she cannot do anything to you.

Just thinking about that makes me happy!

What is so funny?

- Senior Deity. - Senior Deity.

Ling Xi, come with me for a while.

Kaiyang. Send Shisan to the hall of Lord of the Furnace.

Since she loves cooking rice, let her have plenty of it!

Huh?

Fairy Shisan, please.

I do not want to!

Siming.

Go on.

The dishes you cook are delicious!

What is wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?

Anyone who comes here is a guest, but it's fine if you did not ask anyone to serve me tea.

What? You still want to hit me?

Let me remind you that I am also a high god now.

If we really fight, I may not lose to you.

High gods can also be divided into sub-levels. Just with your petty skills...

Tell me, what are you thinking?

Did you not suspect State Preceptor Jingxiu is the murderer of my mother?

Now that he was willing to hand me the State Master position,

does that not prove his innocence?

Since I have no choice,

I can only push the boat in the same direction as the current. This is my duty.

Shanling Tribe has suffered a great change. People's hearts are stirring restlessly.

When I ascend to the throne of the State Master,

not only can I slowly investigate the cause of my mother's death,

I can also eliminate a catastrophe.

But this matter indeed has one troublesome aspect.

The State Master of Shanling Tribe cannot marry a person from other tribe.

What?

I also learned about it just now.

My parents got separated also because of this reason.

You are being willful!

It's fine if you want to investigate the cause of death of State Master Lingyue.

It's also fine if you want to stabilize the political situation of Shanling Tribe.

But this is not the only way!

No need for you to worry about this matter. Just leave it to me.

You cannot do everything for me. That was my mother.

I owe her my life. As her child, it is my duty to practice filial piety.

Being filial does not mean you have to pay with the rest of your life!

That is not what I meant.

No need to say anymore. Even now,

do you still not understand my feelings?

No matter what happens, no one can take you away from me.

The Heavenly Laws could not. The Demon Lord could not.

Your mother cannot either.

I will go look for Heavenly Emperor now.

That is not what I mean!

I have always liked you, it never stopped.

We have gone through so much to have what we have today, so why would I leave you?

I will not stay in the State Master position for long.

Once I find out the truth and find a person whom I can trust,

I will hand over my State Master position.

Really?

Are you willing to wait for me?

No.

This is why I will not wait much longer.

If you are unable to find the real murderer fast

and find that person whom you can entrust your position to,

I will lead my army to attack your Shanling Realm

and eliminate that damned rule!

You are still laughing?

Endure it a little. It will be fine after I apply the mediciine.

You cannot see.

I cannot hear.

Let us not avoid and dislike each other anymore.

A'Mo, I will not allow you to die.

This is my life bead.

I am giving it to you. From now on,

we will live at the same time. Within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths,

between the dark and light realms, among billions of gods and demons, as long as

I do not allow it, no one can harm you!

A'Mo.

Brother Jingxiu.

Baoqing, you are here.

You need anything?

You want Ling Xi to become the State Master?

Do you not fear her knowing the truth and seeking revenge for her mother?

Baoqing, what are you saying?

What do you want?

What do I want?

Do you not know?

Do you really want to become the State Master?

Who wants to be the State Master?

What then do you want?

I can give up being the State Master...

but it cannot be her!

Why can't it be hers?

Because I love you!

Because I love you,

that is why I cannot allow you to love another.

Baoqing.

The matter about the State Master has been publicly announced to the Six Realms and reported to the Heavenly Palace.

We cannot change it.

Do you love her that much?

You are so willing to hand her the blade that will kill you?

She does not love you.

The one she loves is the God of War!

Even if you hand her your life, she will not give you even a glance!

I am the only person who truly loves you.

Only I, do you know that?

Baoqing. I know.

But I only treat you as a little sister.

There is nothing else.

Little sister?

You were the one who killed Mother.

As an adopted child, I can let you off.

But what about that kind and filial high god?

She may not be as magnanimous as I am!

There is no wind-proof wall in this world. (T/N news is able to go through barriers like wind)

Can you hide it from her?

Baoqing.

I do not want to explain things anymore.

Maybe one day you will understand.

I promised your mother

that from now on, I will take good care of you.

Brother Jingxiu, you are playing with fire.

One day, you will hurt yourself.

I will not just watch as you make a mistake.

Baoqing! I know that you care for me.

I can agree to whatever you do and defend you,

except for one thing. You cannot

harm Ling Xi.

She is the bloodline of the Phoenix Tribe.

Only she deserves to be our State Master.

Also, with me around,

no one can stop it.

I told you, Brother Jingxiu,

that I will not let her inherit the State Master position!

You said that I cannot? I will then personally do it!

Let me see if once she learns the truth,

will she still let you manipulate her?

Baoqing! Baoqing!

Open the door! Who are you people?

You dare to lock the Princess in?

Quickly open the door! Open the door!

Open the door! Quickly open the door!

Open the door!

I pay my respects to the State Master!

We all pay our respects to the State Master!

Princess.

Princess! What is wrong with you? Princess, wake up!

Hurry!

Princess, what is wrong with you? Princess!

- Princess, what is wrong with you? - Princess! What happened?

Shut up! Useless!

Princess, what should we do next?

State Preceptor.

State Preceptor. Princess Baoqing killed her guards.

We do not know where she is now!

State Preceptor.

- Where is the Princess? - I do not know.

Talk!

I...I...

In your throne ascension ceremony today, why did I not see Senior Deity?

He does not like me taking this State Master position.

He might be still mad at me.

Although he did not attend, he did give a lot of gifts.

The mystical treasures from all over the Four Seas that Kaiyang has brought can already fill up the whole Tianxi Palace.

State Master. Princess Baoqing is here to see you.

Let her in.

Why do you want to see me?

Naturally it is to congratulate my Elder Sister for ascending to the State Master position.

I have also another thing to tell you, State Master.

The truth behind Mother's death.

May I ask the State Master to ask the people around you to leave?

Senior Sister, go out now.

Okay. Be careful by yourself.

Say it.

You will be living here from now on.

I grew up here.

Mother lost her child, while I found a parent.

I then treated her as my own mother.

She also seemed to treat me very well too.

When I had just arrived here, I would cry all night.

She then brought me here to sleep with her.

I grew up here.

I know very well every chair and table here.

We were together for tens of thousands of years.

I initially thought that days like that would never end.

I have no time to hear you say those things.

You said you know the truth behind Mother's murder. What is it?

Who did it?

Murder?

Then it means you know that Mother did not die from her injuries?

I will then tell you.

Listen well.

I told you before that you cannot hurt Ling Xi.

She is our State Master!

Senior Sister, quickly save her!

Brother Jingxiu...

Senior Sister?

You are saying that Princess Baoqing killed my mother?

Y-Yes.

My mother cared for her and raised her. No matter how willful and domineering she is,

how could she kill her adoptive mother?

Princess...

Princess used to be very filial.

But after you came,

she would frequently say that the late State Master had found her real daughter.

How would she still put any importance on the Princess?

Once the late State Master awakened,

this Tianxi Palace would not have a place for her anymore.

Also...also--

Also what?

Also, the late State Master used to only have her as her daughter.

Once the late State Master died,

the position as the new State Master of Shanling Tribe

would surely be hers.

Unfortunately, you came back.

Everything turned to nothing. That is why the Princess took the risk

and killed the late State Master.

She was just a lower-level earth immortal.

No matter how weak my mother was from her grave injuries,

on her own, she would not be able to harm my mother by a hair.

That is indeed true.

But the late State Master doted on Princess Baoqing a lot.

She did not guard against her.

That day, Princess Baoqing sent the State Preceptor away,

then told the late State Master

that she was severely wounded by Zhonghao.

She fooled the late State Master into bringing out her life bead to treat her.

The Princess...the Princess then used that chance to destroy her life bead.

This caused the late State Master to lose all her primordial energy.

Her spirit scattered and she died.

That day when you left,

did Baoqing come here saying that she wanted to speak to her mother alone?

Why didn't you tell me?

You sisters never got along. I was afraid that

if I told you, you would suspect her.

Baoqing is someone I watched grow up.

I only thought she was just a little bit capricious. Never thought...

She did tell me before,

she didn't want you to become State Master. But I thought they were empty words, who knew she would take action.

I was in the wrong.

I caused you harm.

Princess Baoqing was severely injured, she has left us.

You want Lingxi to become State Master?

Then you aren't scared that she will know the truth and take revenge?

Come in.

Your disciple Huayan respectfully greets Teacher.

Rise and speak.

Yes.

How long has it been since we last met?

Replying to Teacher, it has been twenty-two thousand, three hundred and fourteen years.

That long?

I cannot be considered your Teacher,

I'm just someone you met by chance in the mortal world.

Being a teacher for a day makes you a teacher for life.

Teacher, you saved me from the sea of suffering. I owe you for guiding me to enlightenment.

Your disciple is eternally grateful!

Eternally grateful?

- Yes. - Then what do you want in coming here today?

Your disciple...

Your disciple has something she is not clear about.

Teacher, that day in the great hall,

I heard Princess Baoqing ask if you weren't scared of Lingxi knowing the truth and coming to take revenge?

What about it?

I just want to know the truth...

For someone who is as kind as Lingxi and who Teacher has a close friendship with,

what would she not forgive you for?

What is it that Princess Baoqing can use to threaten you?

Could it be...

Could it be...

Maybe I heard it wrong?

You didn't hear it wrong.

What?

I said you didn't hear it wrong.

So the one who killed State Master Lingyue is...

It was I.

Why?

No...

No... this cannot be.

Teacher, you are not someone like that!

You have been kind and generous.

I understand your temperament!

That year when I was in the palace, I was bullied and defenseless,

so I developed killing intentions and almost committed a great mistake!

It was you who saved me from that!

You helped me to cultivate, and taught me to reason things out.

Teacher, all that you taught me as your disciple that year,

I have always remembered and treasured it.

If all of this is as you say,

then that year...

- then that year, why did you save me? Why save-- - Huayan.

words and actions have always been two separate things.

Do you know this saying?

Do...a good deed every day.

Do you understand?

Anything else?

Nothing more.

If there is nothing else, you can leave.

State Preceptor, do you want me to follow and get rid of her?

Huayan was never supposed to be here.

You... Was it Teacher who asked you to come?

State Preceptor was unwilling to personally take action.

Due to your relationship as Teacher and Disciple, he had some sentiments about it.

Jingxiu personally killed Princess Baoqing.

Princess Baoqing's maidservant back-stabbed her,

and said that she killed Lingyue?

Yes. That is what the person from Shanling Tribe said.

Something is wrong.

Senior Deity, with such a shock in Shanling Tribe,

and Lingxi just took over and has to deal with this situation,

I think there will be some difficulties. Should we go down and take a look?

Let's not be anxious first. First, locate the whereabouts of that maidservant.

Yes.

Huayan is missing?

Yes. Since yesterday, she has not returned to our quarters.

This morning I searched all over, but could not find her.

Where is the maidservant of Princess Baoqing?

She was an accomplice in the murder of the previous State Master,

so she had her immortal bones removed and was exiled.

State Master, where are you going?

I am just walking around.

Since there is nothing wrong, please do not leave.

I still have something I wish to discuss with you.

Move faster.

Hurry up!

- Move faster! Go on! - Go!

State Preceptor said he would spare my life. He promised me!

Don't kill me! Please don't kill me! Please don't kill me!

Hurry and run!

State Master.

Is there still no news of Huayan?

I had people search the entire Tianxi Palace, but we found nothing.

For the past few days, she seemed to be very uneasy.

I don't know if something happened to her.

Lingxi.

- Heichi is still not back? - Yes.

State Preceptor, did something go wrong? Should I take a look?

State Master is more urgent, we should see her first.

Yes.

Is there a reason for State Master to summon me here?

Naturally there is something important I must discuss with you.

State Master, please speak.

Before I speak, I have someone I'd like you to meet.

Bring her in!

State Master.

State Preceptor Jingxiu.

Guess you never thought I would still be alive?

Princess Baoqing loved you so sincerely, yet you personally killed her!

You even framed her of killing her mother.

You are truly have the face of a person, but the heart of a beast!

State Master, can you believe the words of a criminal?

Her words cannot be trusted, then what about mine?

State Preceptor Jingxiu, it has been many days since we last met.

Your skills have rusted a little.

God of War Jiuchen. It has been many days since we last met.

Your words seem to be more and more strange.

You do not understand?

Then let me speak in a way you will understand.

Recently, I have grown restless.

So I visited the barren lands.

Coincidentally I met your right-hand man, Heichi.

He was going to kill this girl,

so I saved her.

Dare I ask you, State Preceptor, as someone who has already lost her immortal bones,

why must you still try to kill her?

There was such a thing?

Why do I not know of this?

Maybe there were some grudges between the two of them?

Where is Heichi now?

So you say...that you did not know Heichi was going to kill this girl?

Of course!

Then for this girl to say that you were the murderer of State Master Lingyue,

she must be spreading lies?

God of War, you are smart. I think you must have guessed it right.

I have never!

State Master, I heard the State Preceptor and General Chibi speaking.

They were saying that if the late State Master woke up, she would never forgive them!

So if they wanted to save themselves, they had to take action first!

I wanted to immediately inform Granny Shi,

but Princess Baoqing wouldn't allow me to.

In the end... the previous State Master died.

Is there anyone who can be a witness to your words?

I...

Princess Baoqing and Granny Shi have already died.

No one can bear witness for you.

But I have never lied!

I have a magical technique that can prove if your words are true or false.

But you will have to suffer some pain.

If we are not careful, you may suffer heavy spiritual damage.

Are you willing to try it?

I am willing!

State Preceptor Jingxiu, what do you think?

You don't believe me?

Was it you?

You'd rather believe him. Why still ask me?

Did you kill the previous State Master, who was also my mother?
