LOVE AND REDEMPTION

Episode 4 Subbed by Productive Procrastination

Sifeng take him away!

Go!

Linglong!

Xuanji!

Let go of my sister!

Xuanji!

Xuanji!

Xuanji!

In the way!

Linglong! Linglong!

The girls are in trouble!

Let’s go.

Chu Linglong....

Let me see how capable you are.

If you are the reincarnation of the God of War or Mosha Star

then you can escape from this.

If I can kill you so easily

then you’re not the one I’m looking for.

Linglong! Linglong!

Fight!

Linglong!

Fight!

Linglong!

Are you ok Linglong?

I’m fine.

Scared me to death.

It’s Senior Hao Chen.

Sifeng!

Are you alright?

We’re fine.

What about the merman?

Mer...

Taken away by the demons.

Warrior Yu,

I know the Lize Palace has its own way of doing things

and as the other sects we turn a blind eye.

But taking my sect’s disciples to save a demon with you

is inappropriate.

We wanted to save it.

That merman did not harm anyone.

He even saved us when we were in the cave!

How can you pity a demon?

You must not have such thoughts.

But....

Thank you seniors for saving us.

I know I was wrong.

Never mind.

Perhaps we still find traces of those demons.

Hao Chen

let’s hurry and take a look.

Yes.

Sifeng.

Did the demons capture that merman?

Follow me.

What enchantment is this?

Lize Palace’s concealment spell. Can conceal the aura and form of any being.

How are you?

That’s why they couldn’t detect him.

Hurry.

Take him to the riverbank.

Does it hurt?

I...I have some medicine.

W-What are you laughing about?

Why are you looking at me like that?

Do we know each other?

We don’t know each other in this lifetime.

But we know each other know.

You can talk?

When the demons brought you here

what did they want?

The demonic clan has established a Tianxu Sect to find the spiritual keys.

Spiritual keys.

What’s that?

The Sect Leader should know.

Actually I don’t know either.

Don’t force yourself to speak.

You’re too seriously injured. You need to recuperate in the sea.

I will write an anonymous letter to the 5 sects regarding the matter you informed us.

Feel better?

Why is he crying?

It became a pearl.

Not many people know the pearl tear of a merperson will cause you to cry

when you put it under your tongue.

No one will know.

That’s great!

Then Xuanji doesn’t need to go back to the Mingxia Cave again!

You can try it.

Linglong!

Look.

I cried!

Linglong, I can cry!

That’s great!

Xuanji that’s great!

The two of you

are crying and laughing like fools.

You always laugh at us.

You’re the fool.

He’s thanking us.

So pretty Xuanji.

This feeling I have

is like eating sweet cake.

It’s so sweet.

It’s happiness.

Sifeng.

Thank you.

And the tear of the merman.

No need to thank me.

It’s a token of gratitude the merman gave you.

You said before that every being has a reason for its existence.

You saved him, bringing good karma.

This is destiny.

Chu Xuanji.

If you want to find

the 6 senses you’re missing

and want real tears

then go find the other fragments.

What fragments?

The fragments of the Bahuang mirror of tribulations.

The Bahuang mirror

is the celestial artifact of the Mother of the West.

It can see the source of thousands of beings.

That Bahuang mirror

was scattered across the Mortal Realm by the Mother of the West.

Once you collect all the pieces you can regain your 6 senses.

I found a piece in the secret realm

and regained my sense of taste.

Is that the fragment of the Bahuang mirror?

Was I able to regain my sense of taste

through that fragment?

Only the Bahuang mirror

can achieve that.

Not only that.

You will be able to find out who you are from the fragments.

Who am I?

I am Chu Xuanji!

Who else could I be?

You are you.

But not entirely you.

Perhaps it’s best for you

to know nothing of the world.

Only destiny has other ideas.

Chu Xuanji, wish you the best of luck.

Perhaps we will meet again some day.

That merman,

probably went back to the sea.

Speaking of which,

I wonder what the sea is like. I’ve never seen it.

Sifeng.

Lize Palace is by the sea right?

Then let’s go to Lize Palace to visit Sifeng.

Alright?

Sure, sure.

Lize Palace does not allow women to enter.

I only knew that the Lize Palace does not accept female disciple,

but forbidding the entry of women?

Then none of you marry or have children?

Once you join the Lize Palace,

you cannot marry.

That’s why everyone in the Lize Palace has to wear a mask.

For that reason?

But Sifeng,

you’ve removed your mask now.

We’ve seen your true appearance.

Do the people who have seen your appearance have to marry you?

-Oh no! -Marry?

I’ve seen your face then doesn’t it mean I have to marry...

Xiao Liuzi,

you’re over thinking it.

We’ve all seen his face.

Besides,

the first person who

removed his mask and saw his face is Xuanji.

What has it got to do with you?

Right Sifeng?

There’s no such rule.

Only...

I will owe people favors.

Owe what favors?

You mean saving the merman together?

We were willing to do it.

Right.

We have now been through life and death together!

Father told me that among friends

there are no favors,

just friendship.

Friends....

Before in Lize Palace

no one has never told me that

or those strange thoughts of yours.

Why don’t you join the Shaoyang Sect?

That way we never have to separate again.

Perhaps we can secretly drink wine together!

Yes.

Let me show you something good.

A delicacy of Lutai Town.

Yellow fruit wine.

As we’re going to be friends for the rest of our lives

then let’s drink this.

Yes!

Sure.

Cheers!

Xuanji.

Don’t worry.

We’ll help you find the fragments of that Bahuang mirror.

As long as we cultivate hard and increase our cultivation we can travel 1000 miles per day and far away.

We will find it once we travel the world.

By then not only will you be able to taste wine

you’ll be able to smell it.

We can see a little Xuanji that will cry and fear pain.

Right.

Who cares whatever you are

or what you’re not.

Anyway it’s fine as long as we know who you are.

When I’ve collected all the fragments

I can regain my 6 senses.

And I’ll be the Chu Xuanji like everyone else.

No matter what.

Then I can be like today

where I’m with everyone

happily together, forever.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

That Chu Linglong isn’t the one we’re looking for.

I will hurry and

test the other people who fit the condition to be the reincarnations

of the Mosha Star and God of War.

If you weren’t so inept 16 years ago

how could we have lost their reincarnations in the City of Flames?

We wouldn’t need to go to such trouble now.

I know my mistake.

Please be at ease.

I will do everything I can to investigate it.

The 4 spiritual keys the merman said is under the protection of the 5 cultivating sects.

Let’s save the Left Minister

and help you gain the great weapon of the Juntian Cehai

revive the Mosha Star

and make the Three Realm yours!

Sifeng

speaking of destiny

you and Xuanji seem to have a lot of it.

You’re born on the same day, month, and year.

Even me, her elder sister, can’t achieve that.

As you’re twins

then why weren’t you born at the same time?

We were twins.

Only...

Xuanji is so lazy.

She refused to come out!

She stayed in Mother’s stomach for a full night.

That’s why

I was born on the 4th day of the 4th month at 9pm,

And she was born on the 5th day of the 4th month at 1am.

I see.

You’re hungry again.

Hungry?

Then I’ll go catch and roast some fish.

Good idea.

I’ll go with you.

Xiao Liuzi,

catch a big one!

Sure!

Xuanji, didn’t you just eat something?

I don’t know either.

Isn’t this the notebook

Mother used to teach you to write?

You still have it?

I knew that although you can’t cry

but you’re not completely unfeeling.

Mother told me

that I have to write the most important people in my life in there.

Then can I see who is most important?

Sure, sure.

Father...

Mother....

Linglong...

No one else?

Who else is there?

You can write the name of the people you like.

These are all the people I like.

I am not talking about the like between family members.

Liking someone is

when you keep thinking about them unconsciously.

You want to be with them all the time.

You want to share every secret you have with them.

And your mood becomes good

or bad

because of him.

He...

Linglong...

Do you have someone you like?

I...

I...I...

I’m going to take a look.

Help them roast the fish.

Someone I like

is someone I’m willing to share my secrets with?

So hungry.

Why isn’t 6th Senior Brother coming?

Xuanji.

This matter

is a secret between the two of us.

Don’t mention it to anyone.

Turns outs the one I always want to see and share my secrets with

is the person I like.

Then I have many feelings

that are the same as everyone else.

Linglong says I have to write it down.

Xuanji!

6th Senior Brother?

We captured so many fish.

We can eat it in a bit.

Good.

Oh yes

this is a gift I picked for you and Linglong.

But Linglong doesn’t seem to like it

so I’m giving it all to you.

I seem to be foolish.

I can never guess what Linglong likes.

I think

I’m not the sort of person people like.

No.

I really like you 6th Senior Brother.

What?

You’re the person I like.

What do you know?

Xiao Liuzi!

Hurry and come here!

Help us roast this fish!

Coming!

Roast this for a bit.

Hurry up.

Sifeng.

What’s this?

It’s something 6th Senior Brother gave me.

Sifeng.

What is the color of it?

Blue.

So this is blue.

My favorite color is blue.

Is it fragrant?

Is it pretty?

It doesn’t smell nice and ugly.

Really?

When I gain my 6 senses

I will be able to feel it for myself.

Oh yes Sifeng.

We have to return to Shaoyang tomorrow.

After we see my father,

I have an idea of how

we can get your mask back from that torch dragon.

Xuanji,

actually it’s still dangerous.

We might be discovered by Sect Leader Chu.

You don’t need to push yourself.

After all,

I didn’t get the Gu eagle horn for you as I promised.

It’s fine.

Friends don’t

have to be so courteous with each other.

I promised you

that’s why

I will do anything to get your mask back to you.

Little fool.

You finally escaped being confined in the Mingxia Cave.

It’s fine even if I lose my mask.

You don’t need to find it.

You don’t need to go to the secret realm.

Is it really ok?

It’s fine.

Xuanji.

Thank you.

Sect Leader.

Master.

Father.

We’re back.

Who allowed you to come back?

Looks like you’re becoming more and more ignore willful.

Father.

Don’t blame my elder sister.

It’s my fault.

I only found out when I left the mountain,

Before I was so willful and disobedient.

I finally knew that you were right to scold me.

You are right to lecture me.

I will not do this again.

Father!

Good.

Good girl.

At least my teaching has not gone to waste

for you to understand my reason for doing this.

Your mother

will be at ease now.

This means Xuanji doesn’t need to return to the Mingxia Cave.

I feel at ease now.

That’s great Xuanji!

Xuanji.

You go and rest in your room.

Xiao Liuzi and I will go pass out the delicacies from Lutai

and then some and find you.

Ok?

Sure.

Then I’m going.

Let’s go!

The merman’s tear is quite useful huh?

Senior Hao Chen.

Don’t worry.

Only I know about that.

Xuanji.

Let ask you.

Do you truly want to cultivate?

I didn’t know why I had to cultivate before

but this time when I went to Mount Lutai I found out

that I can only protect the

ones I want to protect by being powerful.

That’s right.

Xuanji.

Actually you’re just as good as everyone else.

If there is a chance

then you can become a

very powerful cultivator.

Are you willing?

Senior Hao Chen.

Are you mocking me?

I don’t have the right to participate in the Hairpin Tournament.

There’s no rush.

Think carefully.

After the tournament we can talk about it.

We should celebrate

after coming back from Mount Lutai.

Although Sifeng told me that I don’t need to get his mask.

but I promised him

so I can’t break my word.

I can’t go in.

If I cast an enchantment it might trigger the barrier.

Sifeng!

Sifeng.

Xuanji? What are you doing here?

I’m here to help you.

Didn’t I say you don’t need to help me?

If your father finds out

then you’ll be punished.

But if you can’t find your mask

then you’ll be punished.

Follow me.

The torch dragon is hiding here.

If it detects us the stone monitoring the realm will be triggered.

It’s fine.

I have a way to avoid the torch dragon.

Look, we can use this.

The peach wood teleporter?

It can only teleport one,

but there’s two of us.

We can just become one.

Don’t move.

I’m starting the spell.

Look.

I said it will work right?

Sifeng.

Hurry find the mask.

Sifeng.

Your mask!

My mask!

Sifeng!

It’s fine Sifeng.

Let’s come again tomorrow

and find the other half.

We can stick it back together.

Perhaps when we fought back the torch dragon

it damaged the teleporter.

The mask of the Lize Palace cannot be repaired.

As it’s broken then it’s fate.

Never mind.

I need to see my master.

Do you still care about me your master?

Master.

Sifeng.

Is it so hard for you to part with mortal feelings

that you forgot about the 13 rules of the Lize Palace?

You lost your mask yet you don’t come for punishment.

You’re a very good disciple.

I know I committed a wrong.

Please punish me.

Sifeng!

Sifeng are you ok?

Xuanji.

This is a Lize Palace’s matter.

Don’t intrude.

Sifeng.

You only say you committed a mistake.

Yet you don’t say you know you were wrong.

Do you know what you did wrong?

I removed his mask.

Just beat me.

Xuanji!

Palace Chief.

Xuanji is still young she doesn’t understand the rules.

Please forgive her for her rudeness.

Am I wrong?

Sifeng didn’t remove his mask.

Besides,

he almost lost his life to retrieve it just now.

I want to ask Palace Chief

is Sifeng’s life more important

or that mask?

How dare you!

That is matter of the Lize Palace.

How can you criticize it?

Xuanji it has nothing to do with you.

Hurry and apologize.

The rules of the Lize Palace is none of my business.

But this is my best friend’s matter so it’s my matter!

You cannot answer my question

yet you use the rules of Lize Palace to punish him.

I am only saying what I think is right.

I do admire Sect Leader Chu for having such a daughter.

Sifeng.

I am very surprised that girl is willing to stand up for you like this.

What?

You found yourself a new friend after leaving the palace a few days?

Yes.

I never knew what a friend was before.

But now I know

what a deep friendship is.

What?

Deep friendship?

Palace Chief.

All the other sect leaders are waiting for you

to discuss what to do with the demons at Mount Lutai.

Please do not delay.

Palace Chief.

This way.

Deep friendship.

Sifeng rise.

Does it hurt?

I’m fine.

Master punished me.

Why did you stand in front of me? So capricious.

I’m fine.

I was worried he would wrong you.

Sifeng.

Will he punish you?

I’m fine.

Don’t worry.

That’s good.

Everyone

these are the shackles for demons.

We found on the Gu eagle and the demonic dog on Mount Lutai.

Also,

we received an anonymous letter

that said the controller of the Gu eagle and the demonic dog

was the demon tribe.

And the organization that gathered all the demons together

was called Tianxu Sect.

I wonder

if you’ve heard of it?

Tianxu Sect?

Never heard of it.

It’s just an anonymous letter with no evidence at all

Sect Leader Chu

no need to take it seriously.

Indeed.

After the war 1000 years ago we have completely destroyed the demonic and devil tribe.

There’s nothing to fear.

They are just a small gathering of demons

that will just cause a little ripple.

I don’t think we need to fear.

I fear it’s not that simple.

If the letter is true then the

purpose of those demons were

to obtain the spiritual keys that we the 5 major sects pledge to protect.

Spiritual keys?

What spiritual keys?

Have you heard of some spiritual keys?

That will affect the foundations of each sect.

We should not

speak of it lightly in public.

If that letter was a trick,

then we will put ourselves in chaos first.

Valley Chief Rong is right.

I think

Sect Leader Chu

you should worry about the Hairpin Tournament.

Then....

we bid our leave.

Farewell.

I never expected that the major sects are as loose as a pile of sand

during my years in seclusion.

I hope they know what they are doing.

We should increase our security.

I hope

I over complicated things.

Sifeng!

Sifeng.

What are you doing here?

Sifeng.

Why are you here?

Is the Chief going to punish you?

Why?

I will have a talk with him!

Don’t argue back to Master.

He is in a bad mood.

He won’t give up.

So what?

He’ll just beat me.

I’m not afraid of pain.

He’s quite bold. He breaks the rules as soon as he leaves the mountain.

Want to be like him?

You should know what your place is.

He has nothing to fear.

You think he will be fine this time too?

Hurry and go back.

I want to kneel here.

Master did not punish me.

Why?

That way Master will not be so angry.

Don’t worry.

I’m fine.

Oh yes Sifeng.

I came this time

to give you some dried fruits.

It’s so sweet.

If you some sweet dried fruits while you kneel here,

it won’t be so painful.

Come.

Is it good?

I will accept this...

Hurry and go.

Remember to eat it.

Look.

The Hairpin Tournament has just began

yet he, Chu Lei acts as if he’s the leader of the 5 sects.

Does Shaoyang intend to win again?

Tell Shi Feng to prepare himself.

No matter what

we have to win this time.

The Xuanyuan Sect should

lead the 5 cultivating sects.

Yes.

Come in.

Master.

Master?

To you, your deep friendship is enough

you don’t need your master anymore.

I do not dare.

I am willing to accept punishment for breaking the rules.

Disciples who forget their original goals

will be interrogated by the elders.

Then they undergo the 13 torture sessions in the Tower of Oblivion.

I fear you cannot

bear that punishment.

As the leader of the disciples

I should set a good example.

I will not shy from it.

You!

Look at what you’re like now.

You are the most skilled disciple

Lize Palace has seen in several centuries.

You say you want to set an example

but have you thought about my feelings?

Listen up.

I forbid you from giving up your future!

You must win this tournament.

Perhaps when the elders interrogate you I can lessen your punishment.

In the future,

if you make me lose face again

I will not let you off.

You may leave.

That Gu eagle was at least 10 feet in wingspan.

Its claws were sharper than your sword.

I drew my sword and fought with it

so much so it screamed in agony!

With nowhere to escape to.

6th Senior Brother you’re that powerful?

Then you will win the tournament this year.

-That’s right. -Right.

You will win!

-Right? -Right. -Linglong.

If 6th Senior Brother and Sifeng fights fight each other at the tournament

who is more powerful?

If Sifeng’s cultivation

was that much,

then your senior’s cultivation

is about this height.

That little?

Turns out Sifeng is so powerful?

Then Linglong,

aren’t you taking part in the tournament too?

You’re very skilled too.

If it’s my cultivation....

this...

about that much.

That high?

You can’t even hold your sword properly

how can you have the face to take part?

An idiot is an idiot.

Who is an idiot you?

Linglong!

You know who is the idiot.

Or perhaps there are too many idiots in Shaoyang Sect so there’s too much to keep track of?

Be more generous.

No matter how fierce dogs bark

it’s still an animal.

We don’t need to stoop to their level.

Indeed.

You’re not bad at arguing

but the tournament does not test your argumentative skills.

By then...

I will make you beg for mercy.

When we get on the stage.

I will make him beg for mercy!

Don’t worry.

By then

we will turn this Wu Tong black.

Yes!

Let’s see.

Look. What do you think of this position?

You can see the stage clearly and it has a breeze.

The best spot to be in to observe the matches.

Only I, 6th Senior Brother,

can find such a good place.

I found it ages ago.

No need for you to find it.

The Dianjing Valley is here!

Linglong. Linglong.

Which sect does that Wu Tong belong to?

The Dianjing Valley even accepts wastrels like Wu Tong

so they won’t be able to win.

Xuanyuan Sect is here!

Linglong.

Why are there so few disciples in Xuanyuan Sect?

The Xuanyuan Sect was the biggest sect 100 years ago.

But they are becoming more and more weak.

Their Sect Leader didn’t even come.

The Lize Palace is here!

It’s Sifeng!

Sifeng! Sifeng!

Sifeng!

Lower your voice.

The Lize Palace are wary of having any relationships with outsiders.

If you yell like that it will only bring him trouble.

He’s not you.

He’s the favorite disciple of the Lize Palace’s Chief.

Master likes me too.

The Chief of the Fuyu Island and his wife are here!

Linglong. Linglong.

What is everyone looking at?

They...

are looking at Madam Dongfang.

Madam Dongfang is one of the most beautiful women in the world.

Xuanji. You don’t know what’s pretty and what’s not.

Look.

Look at how Xiao Liuzi is staring at her.

I...I’m not.

Sect Leader of Shaoyang is here!

Father is here! Father!

The Hairpin Tournament has been held for a century.

The reason why the righteous sects have held

this grand event for over a century continuously

because we wish to boost the prestige of the righteous side.

The sect that wins the competition

will become the leader of the 5 sects

the next 4 years

and govern the alliance.

The disciples may spar with each other and to improve your weaknesses.

If a disciple dares to fight too bitterly

and harms the life of another

then none of the 5 sects

will let him off.

Good!

The Hairpin Tournament

begins now!

Yu Sifeng from Lize Palace against Tu Ran from Fuyu Island.

Sifeng! Sifeng fight!

Sifeng!

Who is that?

He seems over thirty.

Can he take part?

That is Senior Tu Ran from Fuyu Island.

He’s the most skilled swordsman, completely merciless.

You will not need to suffer if you admit defeat now.

Then don’t show me mercy.

Madam don’t worry,

Tu Ran will definitely win.

Senior Tu Ran seems quite powerful.

Can Sifeng beat him?

It’s not that simple.

That Senior Tu Ran was one of the most likely candidates for winning the tournament 4 years ago.

But he insisted on cultivating his thunder technique

that’s why he missed the last one.

Look at the gleam of lightning on his sword.

He must have succeeded in it.

Even if an ordinary elder was matched against him they will not

be able to beat him easily.

Then Sifeng has met his match.

Fight Sifeng! Good luck!

Yu Sifeng from Lize Palace wins!

-Sifeng won! -That’s great! Sifeng won!

Sifeng is so amazing!

That Lize Palace disciple

is so naturally talented.

He hasn’t put all his effort in.

Xiao Liuzi

if you run into Sifeng

then you don’t need to compete.

Just surrender.

My Yaohua sword technique is not bad.

Next round...

Wu Tong from Dianjing Valley and Ling Feng from the Xuanyuan Sect!

Never expected

that his enchantments are quite powerful.

He went too far!

You can win

but why destroy another person’s magical artifact?

Wu Tong from the Dianjing Valley wins!
