"No Return" by Fan Shiqi

♫ Memories slowly surround me, are they happy or sad? ♫

♫ The intersection of being clear-headed and blurry, can’t determine if it’s white or black ♫

♫ Going against the wind yet still pursuing, I must retreat if I cannot advance ♫

♫ You needn’t and I am unwilling for tears to fall ♫

♫ For you I won’t regret anything even if I forget who I am ♫

♫ No matter how many years have passed, even when stars are falling ♫

♫ I’ll spend this long journey nestled together with you ♫

♫ Grant me a cup of deep love, a life of being intoxicated ♫

[Qing Qing Zi Jin]

[Episode 7]

- You've come to see me. - You're here, Classmate Luo!

- How was your rest? - From last night,

my shoulder hurts after that fight.

Shubai! Chengmin! Classmate Luo's shoulders hurt!

Coming!

- I will do this side. - I will get this side.

- What is the meaning of this? - Classmate Luo, your martial arts are this good.

Your sword skill can not be too bad.

I was wondering why you were suddenly treating me so well.

It turns out you have a favor to ask.

The way you said it! Aren't we good brothers?

You can teach us a little.

Hang Ruxue is in charge of this archery class, right?

He's just too pedantic.

If we make a small mistake, he will scold us.

In the end, he is just a demoted general.

He thinks I am afraid of him.

If you are not afraid of him, then do not ask for my help.

I do not want to argue with him.

What hour is it?

Why is he still not here?

That's right! Where's Instructor Hang?

Yeah... Where is Instructor Hang?

Right! Where is he?

Yesterday, regrets...

A'Juan! A'Juan, have you seen Instructor Hang today?

I... I...

I heard from our classmates doing archery that he missed class for the first time.

He didn't give a reason. Where did you think he went?

I...

How would I... know?

Could something bad have happened to him?

Prob... Probably not...

Qinghe, I need to pee.

I need to go.

Where did he go?

This is bad! I forgot about this issue.

- Qiuchi, let's go and release him. - If we release him now,

it is the same as telling him that I captured him.

What should we do then? Then...

It's still a human life.

We can not completely ignore him.

Qiuchi, I beg you. Stop playing!

Beg me?

Just take it as you doing it for me.

- Will you listen to me in the future? - Yes.

- Do whatever I tell you to? - Yes.

- Stay away from that Fu Yuanzhi. - I...

What does this have to do with Senior Brother?

Do you want me to release him or not?

Release! I will listen to you.

- All right! - That's great!

- Then... Then we should hurry. - Do not panic!

Someone already went to look for him.

- Who? - I told the guards at the academy.

They are going to the back of the mountain right now.

That's good! That's good!

So, you were just teasing me just now?

If you are so dumb like this,

- what are you going to do in the future? - You...

Now that you got your revenge,

can we just not cause trouble for Instructor Hang next time?

If we did this a few more times,

my heart can not take it.

You're so timid!

How are you going to hang around with me in the future?

Then... this means that you've promised?

All right! All right! I'll be magnanimous.

I will let it go this time.

I knew you were the best!

Luo Qiuchi really is the best man in the world.

The most resolute!

Instructor Hang! Instructor Hang!

Instructor Hang! Instructor Hang! Look over there.

Instructor Hang! Instructor Hang!

- Instructor Hang! - I'm here.

- Instructor Hang! - I'm over here.

- Instructor Hang! - Da Qiang...

It's Instructor Hang! Over here!

Here!

Da Qiang...

Instructor Hang, are you all right?

- What do you think? - Take these off!

Quick!

There are lead guards here.

It's lucky these are special boots for training. Your legs would have been broken, otherwise.

Stop talking!

I'm so thirsty.

What are you laughing at?

Quick, help me back.

Come on, Instructor Hang.

Let's go!

Slowly.

Good food and drink, prepare them all! Hurry!

Hurry!

Let's go!

Classmate Luo, tell us!

Come on! Come on! Tell us!

Keep talking...

Hang Ruxue...

The great general of the left flank!

He's killed tens of thousands of enemies!

He's brave and brilliant in the art of war!

It's too bad that he was defeated by one word.

- What? What word? - Hungryyyyy...

Instructor Hang, you're up?

The doctor said that you're just malnourished.

I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes.

All right.

Come in!

Is this Hang Ruxue's room?

That's right! You are...?

I'm from Hui Xian Restaurant. The food you ordered has arrived.

Buddha Jumps Over The Wall, abalone and chicken soup, lingzhi and tofu soup, shark's fin with noodles,

bamboo shoots steamed with egg.

Oh yes, and the last one,

a pot of green bamboo leaves.

Instructor, these are all the dishes you've asked for. Enjoy!

Wait a minute! Who told you to send these dishes over?

I'm just the messenger, I don't know.

How did it go? Did you send everything over?

- We didn't miss a single one. - Thank you.

Thank you.

Surely you're being too good to Hang Ruxue?

I feel really bad for him having been trapped on the mountain all night.

I wonder who could be so nasty.

It's really too much, don't you think?

Ye... Yes! It's too much!

A'Juan, who do you think did this?

This... This... How would I know?

Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go to class.

Come in!

I think you got stuck on the mountain all night.

Looking at it, you should be all right now.

You've heard about it, too?

Does everyone else know as well?

Why did you go to the mountain in the middle of the night?

Weren't Xie Ziyun and Luo Qiuchi meant to duel on the mountain?

Xie Ziyun and Luo Qiuchi?

Their bet was about the night watchman in the library.

Who told you it was on the mountain?

Luo Qiuchi...

Why does he keep setting me up?

Again!

Just eat! The more you eat, the better it will be.

[Library]

Glutton!

[No entry]

[Staff-Record Registration of Zhu Xiu Academy]

[Staff-Record Registration of Zhu Xiu Academy]

Oh no! I dropped the name list in the library.

The library? This is bad!

- What's going on? - What's that sound?

- Hear that? - Let's take a look!

Quick! Such a huge fire!

Put out the fire! - Hurry!

Put of the fire!

The fire's too big.

- This... - My hundred-year-old library!

My books! [Library]

- Put out the fire, quick! - I have to save the books.

Dean, you can't!

Put out the fire! Quick!

How did it catch fire?

They must not be lost!

- Instructor Hang, the fire is too big. What should we do? - Is anyone in there?

- I don't know. - Hurry up! Come, come!

Quick, put out the fire!

A'Juan, the fire is really blazing.

It can't be Qiuchi, can it?

- Luo Qiuchi is in there! Save him, quick! - Qiuchi?

What is he doing in there?

Go in and save him now!

No way. The fire is too big!

Is anyone else still in there?

- I don't care. - The fire's too big. I can't see clearly, either.

- Wenren Juan! - A'Juan!

- A'Juan. - Wenren Juan!

- A'Juan! - It's dangerous!

I'm going in to check.

- I'm going in. - You can't.

Look! Look at this fire.

- Put out the fire, quick! - Put it out!

Quick! Put out the fire!

Qiuchi?

- Who told you to come in? - Shut up! If you want to scold me, do it when we are out of here.

What are you still doing here? Leave now!

Quick!

- A'Juan! - Quick! Be careful!

Put out the fire now!

Put it out now! Hurry!

- How is it in there? - The fire's too big.

Put out the fire now!

They are out!

Instructor Hang, is there anyone else in there?

- Wenren Juan, how could you... - Stop asking more questions.

- I'm fine. - Let's go! Quick.

[Rich in Culture and Knowledge]

That guy wasn't in the library at that time.

Who set the library on fire then?

Are they accomplices?

It hurts?

- I'm fine. - It should hurt.

Apply the ointment on your burn area twice a day.

Don't let it touch water!

I'm leaving.

- Luo Qiuchi. - I was about to find you. Sit down!

Let me check your hand. Are you okay?

Are... you okay?

- It's just a superficial burn. - That's good then.

- It's not good at all. - What's wrong?

I haven't settled the score with you yet.

I...

Are you talking about last night?

Last night... I was only forced by circumstances.

I wasn't deliberately aggressive towards you.

I'm not talking about this.

What is it then?

Without my permission, you ran into the fire.

Did you know how dangerous it was? What would I do if you lost your life?

I...

- It hurts! - Wenren Juan belongs to me.

I won't allow you to risk your life.

Understand?

Hurt!

I also wanted to talk to you about this.

You saved me several times and you were in danger last night.

I can't just be a bystander and ignore you, can I?

Besides, you are the one who told me to change.

I... I want to be a chivalrous person.

Shouldn't I extend my hand during that moment?

What I wanted you to change was to ignore what others say.

Just like how you should clearly differentiate those life-and-death situations.

You maintain this same attitude. What's there to change?

Aren't you foolish?

Aren't you the same?

Let me! Let me!

How's your injury?

- It's not serious. - Why didn't you go after him last night?

How did you know?

That day, you said that Luo Qiuchi deliberately lured you to the back of the mountain which caused you to injure your leg.

The more I think about it, the more I felt something wasn't right.

That's why these past few days, I've been here watching him.

That being the case, where did you see him go afterward?

I personally saw him enter the library.

He went to the library?

It was before the fire.

It's already been burned to this extent...

Father? Why are you here?

- Sir Wenren. - Principal.

Principal, long time no see.

Official Yuan, long time no see.

Why has it become like this?

An unexplained fire.

And over a century of our predecessor's ideals and work

has been completely destroyed.

What a huge loss!

His Majesty was in great pain to hear of this.

He ordered me to send funds over right away to rebuild the Zhu Xiu Library.

Yanqi.

Principal, these are the funds to rebuild.

Have you uncovered the cause for the blaze?

Last night, the night watchman was drugged.

He didn't even wake up as the fire grew.

It was lucky that people went in to save him.

He's only just woken up.

But we still don't know how the fire began.

His Majesty also heard

that students bravely rescued the night watchman last night.

He was very moved and said he wanted to richly reward them. Which student was it?

Oh, it was Luo Qiuchi and Wenren Juan.

A'Juan. A'Juan?

Brother-in-Law, it's a surprise that A'Juan was so brave.

It's not like her at all.

Minister Wenren, they are exactly those two.

A'Juan, you rescued a person?

Father, I just helped out.

Classmate Luo did most of the work.

This student is...

He is Luo Qiuchi, the top student of the special examination.

You're the top student?

That's indeed me.

What a great talent! And you're brave, too.

You really deserve the recognition you've obtained.

- Sir Wenren, you're too generous with your praise. - Good!

Last night, Instructor Hang

was also part of the rescue from the fire.

Where's Instructor Hang?

Did you see who set the fire?

I didn't see who set the fire.

I can only tell you that from the moment Luo Qiuchi entered the library

until the moment everyone came to fight the fire,

I didn't see anyone else apart from Luo Qiuchi

and the night watchman.

Bring it over!

Please wait!

Please wait.

Hang Ruxue, you're just in time.

The court would like to reward you, too.

Sir Wenren, let's talk about this later.

I have questions for Luo Qiuchi.

Luo Qiuchi, let me ask you...

When the fire started in the library, you should have been resting in your room.

Why was it that you were at the library even before the guards who live nearby?

This means that when the fire began,

you were either already close to the library or actually in the library.

Instructor Hang, listening to you...

you are suspecting Luo Qiuchi of being involved?

That's right.

I suspect Luo Qiuchi was the arsonist.

If you are the arsonist, I won't rest.

So you'd better give us a good explanation for your presence at the time.

How are you connected to this fire?

He... came to meet me!

What did you say?

What's going on?

Are you saying that Luo Qiuchi came to the library to meet you?

Why did he have to meet you in the middle of the night?

Because... Be-Because...

Speak up, I can't hear you!

Because I had to meet him!

You had to meet him? Why did you have to meet him at night?

Why?

- Speak up! - Because... Because... it would be bad if we were seen!

What was it that you were doing, that you were afraid of others seeing you?

We... We...

Hang Ruxue, how about this?

We'll investigate this a little later.

Sir Wenren, this matter can't be delayed!

We don't have to delay. I can explain it now.

Everyone knows that this Senior Sister is my guide.

She has been doing her best to help me.

But I'm a commoner after all.

There are lots of rules and practices that I find difficult to grasp.

So Senior Sister promised to teach me at night, without anyone knowing.

I apologize to Senior Sister

and Sir Wenren.

I am willing to swear on the jade pendant His Majesty gave me

that Senior Sister and I do not have an inappropriate relationship,

and we've never had an inappropriate relationship.

I don't think Luo Qiuchi will lie.

Thank you, Sir, for your trust.

All right! Even if you came here at night to meet Wenren Juan,

this doesn't mean you had nothing to do with the fire.

- That makes sense! - Brother!

I didn't say anything wrong.

What if it really was Luo Qiuchi who started the fire?

Then, doesn't that make Wenren Juan the accomplice?

You've said so much but you don't have any proof.

What proof do you have of your innocence?

All right, all right. Stop arguing!

Luo Qiuchi, you're the only suspect right now.

But because you did well rescuing someone,

I'll give you two days to prove your innocence.

Otherwise, we'll deal with you as a criminal.

- Got it? - Thank you, Sir Wenren.

I'm waiting to see your evidence.

Let's go.

- Your father won't punish you, will he? - I don't think so.

He's never punished me before.

Didn't you say you don't have a good relationship?

That's why! Why would you even get angry

over someone you don't care about?

But when he heard that you'd rescued someone,

he really did look proud.

Surely not... You must have been mistaken.

How could he ever be proud of me?

Furthermore, I've embarrassed him in front of others.

He must hate me even more now.

He must wish that I would just vanish,

much less care enough to think about punishing me.

A'Juan.

Uncle Yanqi, why are you here?

Your father sent me, saying that having one extra person

would mean an extra helping hand.

Forget it, let's go! I've got other stuff to do later.

See that? He's worried that I'll embarrass him again,

so he sent Uncle to come watch us.

Come along!

Wenren Juan met a man in secret at night.

People are now gossiping about her. She asked for it.

She didn't meet Luo Qiuchi! Couldn't you tell?

She made that up because she was trying to protect him.

You mean she was trying to cover for him?

Come with me!

So it looks like Wenren Juan and Luo Qiuchi are accomplices?

- They're not. - No? What do you mean?

Because Luo Qiuchi didn't set the fire, so how can they be accomplices?

He didn't set the fire?

Then why were you so sure last night

when you told me he set the fire?

I lied.

He did go to the library that night but there was one more person

who dressed in black.

I saw Luo Qiuchi fight with him, all the way out of the library.

It was only after that that the fire in the library started.

He didn't set the fire.

He especially didn't have an illicit meeting with A'Juan.

You lied to me.

Even if he didn't set the fire, he was acting suspicious and sneaking into the library.

- He's definitely not innocent. - Even if he's committed other offenses,

we can only proclaim him guilty after we've found evidence.

You have no right to push a crime that he didn't commit, onto him.

You think there's something strange about him, too.

Why do you have to be such a stickler for the rules?

It's because justice that comes from falsely accusing someone,

is even more evil than evil.

Where are you going?

This is so unlucky.

Classmate Luo!

Qiuchi, look!

You found this here?

It looks like this fire starter must have been the source of the blaze.

But... who would have thrown it here?

Could it have been the man in black who was fighting with you?

Instructor Hang, what man in black?

Ask him!

Weren't you insisting that I was the arsonist?

What is it? You've changed your mind now?

Fu Yuanzhi told me the truth.

He said... you weren't the arsonist.

Instructor Hang, what did you say?

I didn't hear you clearly.

I said that I, Hang Ruxue, didn't check my facts before

and falsely accused you.

I apologize to you.

Little Monkey, you heard that, didn't you?

I accept.

You still haven't answered me. Did the man in black leave this fire starter?

No. I'm sure.

Then, what did that man in black come here for?

Who is he? Do you have any leads?

What did he come here for?

Was he trying to check some documents?

Checking documents...?

When I discovered him,

he was right here.

If it's really as Little Monkey says,

then as long as we figure out what he was trying to check, then we'll know why he came.

Uncle.

- Are you done? - Uncle, we've found out

the real reason for the man in black coming here.

And then...?

- What do you mean "and then"? - You've already confirmed that Luo Qiuchi is not the arsonist, haven't you?

That's right.

Then this so-called man in black was fighting with Luo Qiuchi.

- Then we can also confirm he isn't the arsonist, is that so? - Right.

Then, why do you care about him?

We're here to investigate the arson.

About this man in black...

you can investigate later when you have time.

But...

You're just a little kid.

Don't try to play a detective for no reason, okay?

I'll go take another look around.

Wenren Juan, what kind of uncle is this?

Let's look for other leads.

We only have two days, after all.

I'll go take a look in the other rooms.

Qiuchi.

[Staff-Record Registration of Zhu Xiu Academy]

Instructor Hang, have you found anything over there?

No.

What should we do? We don't have any leads.

How unlucky!

Who's there?

Stop!

You dare to run?

You... Aren't you the uncle who sweeps the area?

Speak! Why were you acting suspicious around here?

Don't you know you can't enter here?

I... I-I-I...

If you don't speak, I'll lock you up and you'll be tortured!

I... I-I'll speak! I'll speak!

I started this fire.

- You started it? - I burned the library down!

You guys run too fast.

You... who are you?

Tell us what happened!

That day, I was sweeping

when I discovered that the night watchman didn't seem to be around.

I always thought there were valuables in this building.

So I sneaked in to take a look.

But... when I went in, I heard something

and I thought the night watchman had woken up, so I ran away.

I didn't mean it but I forgot the fire starter.

It was only later that I heard that there was a fire in the library.

But I didn't dare to speak up.

How much would it cost to make up for it?

I can't afford that.

Then do you remember where you left the fire starter?

I... I forgot.

All right, we've got the guy.

Take him away. We're finally done.

All right, you keep investigating.

I'll take him back and question him properly.

- Please, no, please... - Let's go!

Hang Ruxue!

I beg you!

Qiuchi, what's wrong?

Don't you think this is too much of a coincidence?

Is there?

He confessed everything the moment Hang Ruxue caught him. Isn't that weird?

Instructor Hang is a famous warrior.

He's really fierce, too.

The old uncle feels guilty, so, of course, he confessed the moment he saw Instructor Hang.

And that man in black... who is he?

What was it that he was looking for?

I've done everything you ordered.

The sweeping uncle at the academy was arrested and charged today.

There won't be anything linking us to it.

Very good!

But the most important thing is the guy who was investigating me that night at the library.

Did you see his face?

I didn't see it. I only saw him leaving.

I didn't see the man in black's face.

That man in black has been investigating me for many days. It's lucky I've been cautious.

I guessed he would go to the library.

No matter what, you must find him.

Yes!

[Wine]

- Wine? - Wine?

Wine!

"Daughter in Red," about 20 years old.

- Drink! - Cheers!

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Cheerful Scholars @Viki

Spicy in the mouth.

Sweet aftertaste. Great wine!

Low acidity, an aftertaste of jasmine flowers...

It should be Maiden Yin's authentic brewed wine.

You know about wine!

Don't you guys find it a little hot in here?

Why do I feel like it's got so stuffy?

A'Juan, why is your face so red?

Didn't you just have one sip? You can't already be drunk.

- No way. - Oh shit, I forgot!

Forgot what?

- I forgot! - Where did this little beauty come from? Let me give her a kiss!

Oh nooooo!
