"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 34]

Martial arts competition!

Sun ZuoYan, from our Country's Academy

versus Lui ZhongXuan from Wu Kui Academy.

Come up to the stage to compete.

Game of Go competition

My Imperial Court wins.

So great! Qiuchi wins!

We win!

Reciting poetry. My Imperial Court wins.

[Chess, poem, debate...]

[Lost]

In painting, Wu Kui wins!

[Zhu Xiu Academy : 4 wins. Wukui Academy : 3 losses]

Bring it on!

Attack!

Martial arts competition, my Imperial Court wins.

Wonderful! Too good!

Capable!

Dancing competition, the winner is

Ling Qiong of Wu Kui Academy.

- Whaaaa? How could this be? - Yeah...

What? Why?

You definitely danced very well, but we all agree that

Ling Qiong's dance is more graceful

and more natural.

It's really great.

Your Majesty, my daughter could have been agitated because she lost the competition. Please don't be angry.

Fine, fine, it's not a big deal.

Go back first. There are still more competitions to see.

Your Majesty is great. Why don't you quickly thank Your Majesty.

Thank you Your Majesty for being magnanimous.

- Where are you going? - I want to go see her.

You don't have to see her. It's a competition, there are always winners and losers.

You can't always pamper her.

I understand her the most. She's the type of person who cares a lot about reputation.

She definitely can't take this type of insult.

Listen to me.

We will take a break now. An hour later,

The competition will continue. Zhu Xiu Academy

The last round of the competition between Zhu Xiu Academy and Wanxiang Academy

will kick off.

Your Majesty.

You're no longer calling me "little brother"?

Why didn't you tell us earlier that you are their prince?

My identity is special. So I naturally didn't want to easily disclose it.

- I hope Miss. Juan will forgive me. - She forgives. Then how about me?

Then Your Majesty, if you have no other matters. We will go.

Let's go.

Zhu Xiu Academy and Wanxiang Academy's

last round of competition will begin.

Both sides fielded their four best players.

There are four substitute players on each side.

Once you have substituted the player, he can't be replaced again.

Once the competition has started, hit the ball with the stick.

If it goes into your opponent's net, you will score a goal.

Whoever scores five goals first will win.

Start the competition.

Start the competition.

One goal for Zhu Xiu Academy.

- How is he? Seems like Zuoyang's injury is serious. - That's right.

Slowly. Be careful.

How is he? Imperial Physician, quick.

Imperial Physician, how is he?

He injured his muscles and bone. He can't play anymore.

No. I still need to compete.

-No. - I'm fine. - You still need to train in martial arts.

It's okay. Recuperate from your injury first.

- But... - Stop resisting.

Don't worry.

Ziyun, Chengmian, let's go.

Let's go.

- We will depend on you now. - Yes.

These are for His Majesties and the officials.

- These are for the scholars. Don't mix them up. - Okay.

Bring them out.

One goal for Wanxiang Academy.

It's one to one.

It's ok, it's ok.

Wang Shubai, go.

Yes.

It's not easy to defeat the team from Wukui Wanxiang.

One goal for Wanxiang Academy. It's two to one.

Qi Zhuoyan, we will rely on you now.

Yes.

Seems like we are losing.

This is bad.

One goal for Wanxiang Academy. It's three to one.

It's okay.

You are the last one.

Yes.

One goal for Wanxiang Academy. It's four to one.

This is bad.

What should we do?

A'Juan, where are you going?

- I say, we are losing badly. It's embarassing. - If they obtain another goal, they will win.

- We can't go in this way. - What should we do, Xiao Xue?

Everyone who needs to be fielded has already been fielded.

You are wrong. There's still one more.

Why are you here?

I will be the substitute player.

- You? - Stop fooling around.

Look at how Zuoyang has injured himself. Even more so when it's you.

You could also get injured. Everyone has a chance of getting injured.

Why is it different when it comes to me?

Then do you know the rules of the game?

Of course. Isn't it just riding the horse

hold a stick while chasing the ball?

That's true.

I don't care. I say no, and that's the final word.

Why not?

I just want to fight along with you.

Is that wrong?

Do you know why I wanted to bow to a master to learn martial arts?

It's because, every time when some mishaps happen to me,

I could only hide behind you like a stepchild.

I hope that when you need a battle comrade, I can be the first to stand by your side.

And be someone you can rely on.

So Qiuchi,

this time, no matter what you say, I'm going to be on the field.

Why is she playing?

What's going on?

Mister Da Caiya?

How can a girl from Zhu Xiu Academy take part in this?

The rules didn't prohibit females from participating.

Could it be your Academy has no more males?

You even let a girl charge into the battle.

What? Are you afraid?

What would we be scared of?

Afraid that you'd lose to the fragile girl standing before you.

You'll lose face, and wouldn't be able to get over it.

- What a joke. - Enough with the useless talk.

See you at the competition field.

Lord Wenren. Are you ok

with your daughter competing with a bunch of guys?

This is known as girls can't be worse than boys.

Competition starts!

Little Monkey!

- Are you OK? - I'm fine. Continue!

Pass it to me.

One goal for Zhu Xiu Academy. Four to two.

This is great.

Good!

- It went in! - One goal for Zhu Xiu Academy. Four to three.

Excellent!

One goal for Zhu Xiu Academy.

4 to 4!

See that? This is the brilliance of our Wenren family.

- This is great. - That's right.

The competition out there seems to be very exciting. Why don't we go take a look?

Let's go..go..

Shu'er.

Senior brother, why are you here?

I know you are not happy.

Naturally, I'm worried about you.

Those cheers

should be for me.

Look at my Father, he's never been this happy for me before.

This Wenren Juan always pretend not to be competitive.

But wheneve I had a setback, she would suddenly spring up and

steal my limelight.

It's like this everytime!

Then just retaliate.

But if I poison Luo Qiuchi

it's just like disrupting the competition and letting His Majesty be humiliated.

If I get caught, it's a death sentence.

Don't worry, you just need to carry out the task

I will protect you even if you get caught.

I won't let you be harmed in any way.

Shu'er...

you will be the mistress of the Fu family in the future.

But if you don't even have this ounce of courage,

I'm rather worried.

How can I be assured

to fully hand over the residence to you?

I can do it.

Wenren Shu, what are you doing?

Nothing.

What is this?

I don't know.

This is...

Why are you missing 2 players?

This is Croton Tiglium.

You...

[Luo]

Great.

Wenren Shu, you dare to put poison in Luo Qiuchi's water.

Do you know, by doing this, you are deceiving the King?

What do you mean?

- I didn't. - Even now you're still trying to deny it?

Trying to poison my water?

It's equivalent to helping the five Kuibu team to win.

Isn't this deceiving the King?

Come, arrest her!

General, this is the daughter of Lord Wenren.

Can we really arrest her?

Wenren Juan.

Arrest her now. No one is to talk about this before the competition has ended.

Once the competition has ended, I will personally have her arrested and send her to Dali Temple.

Wenren Juan, you dare to have me arrested?!

Arrest her!

Yes.

What are you doing? Release me!

Release me! Let me go!

A'Juan.

The last part of the competition will start soon. Let's go.

This is great.

What are we waiting for?

Why isn't Luo Qiuchi here yet? Is he having stage fright?

Okay. Everyone is here. Get ready.

Are you ok?

Competition, begins!

We will definitely win.

Let's give it our all.

Be careful. You have me.

Wu Kui fouls.

It's a penalty.

Let me out! Let me out!

Let me out!

Let me out!

This ball is yours.

- Qiuchi, I... - Why are you panicking?

I believe in you.

Mister Da Caiya, do your best.

- It went in! - Goal for Zhu Xiu Academy.

Five goals for Zhu Xiu Academy.

They are the winner of this competition. The competition has ended.

Too wonderful! Too wonderful!

We won!

Qiuchi, we won!

This is great.

We won. This is great.

This is great.

Great. I said we would win.

Prince Kang, what do you say? My daughter is amazing, isn't she.

- It's our Imperial Court that is formidable. - Of course, of course.

Good! Good!

This is great.

That's right.

We won! Qiuchi, I won!

Aren't you just too amazing?

Ok

Let time to ask Your Majesty for rewards.

- Let's go! Let's go!

General Hang, you completed the task quite well.

Thank you Your Majesty.

Luo Qiuchi, Wenren Juan, you played the game beautifully!

You gave me dignity. Everyone has worked hard.

Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praises.

Qian Huijun, are you convinced now?

Your Majesty, our friends, the scholars are indeed giants among men

and proficient in literature and martial arts. I admire you.

Congratulations Your Majesty.

The scholars of Zhu Xiu Academy are wise and courageous.

Your reputation spans the country.

The dragon horse sped like thunderbolt.

The meteor swiftly passed.

The heroes fend off the enemies and destroyed the wall.

Riding alone, charging through the arrray, goes Bai Hong.

Calmly counts the victory in seconds.

Talking, laughing and cleverly decides the plan between males and females.

Let me think.

I got it.

One stick is willing to help the country.

An ode to my prosperity.

Long live the Emperor.

- Dispense with the formalities. - Thank you, Your Majesty.

YuanZhi, the competition is already over, why hasn't Shu'er returned?

I haven't seen her.

Let me go, let go!

Go!

- Let me go! - What's going on?!

Your Majesty!

Wenren Shu poisoned Luo Qiuchi's water in order to sabotage him during the game.

I didn't!

Senior brother, quickly explain!

- It's not me! - You still dare to say--!

Didn't I warn you before never to do that kind of stuff?

Senior brother, how could you be like this?

- Its clearly.. - Your Majesty.

It's all my fault.

Before the competition, she told me she wasn't happy to lose in the competition

and wanted to drag down Luo Qiuchi together with her.

I thought she was furious and spoke casually.

I didn't take this to heart.

I didn't expect that she would create such a disaster.

I feel ashamed towards you.

Senior brother, how could you be like this?

The blame isn't on you. It is just this woman is too vicious.

I didn't. It's not what I intended to do!

Annoying! Take her away!

Yes.

Let me go, let go!

You liar, Senior brother.

How could you treat me this way?!

Get ready the palanquin to go back to the palace.

Take care, Your Majesty.

Wenren Residence

- Lord Wenren, this situation... - It's going to be quite difficult...

I have already been to Dali Temple.

Wife, I have already been to Dali Temple to visit...

- Have you gone crazy?! - Wenren Jing!

If anything happens to Shu'er, I won't let you go!

Why are you blaming me for something that she did wrong?

What mistake did she commit? Aren't you protecting this wench?

Madam, please be more respectful when you speak!

- This place has no place for your voice! - This place is also my home!

He is my guest, why wouldn't he have a voice here?

You even dare to talk back to me?!

What are you doing you!

Are you done causing a scene?

You are all teaming up to bully me, is that it?

No one wants something like this to happen.

The most important thing now is to think of a way to save Shu'er!

- To save her! - Don't stand there like you're the good person!

Who doesn't know that you only have that slut, Yuan Xiaomei in your heart?

You only care about her slutty child.

It has been so many years

everyone has been secretly making a joke of me behind my back

that I'm such a joke because in your heart

I have a title but no status.

I tolerated this

but now,

because of that bitch

you're willing to let our Shu'er suffer.

I will save my own daughter.

But you all

you all

none of you can think about escaping.

I won't let any one of you off the hook!

Father, are you OK?

I'm fine.

Senior brother, senior brother.

You're here to save me right?

Shu'er, I'm looking for ways

but it might take a few days.

Please hold on.

Senior brother, I'm so scared. It's so cold and dark here.

Please get me out of here. I'm afraid to die here.

Shu'er, don't worry.

I will try my best to think of a way to save you and get you out of here.

No.

I know you're here to lie to me.

You actually don't mean to ever get me out of here.

You were just using me to poison Luo Qiuchi.

In your heart, you only have yourself.

Take a look at me

where do I fall short of Wenren Juan?

Just exactly where do I fall short of her?!

I want to get out. I want to get out.

Looks like you're not dumb afterall.

If it weren't for you

I wouldn't have been forced by my Mother to betray A'Juan

and A'Juan wouldn't be with Luo Qiuchi

She should be with me

and marry me.

I want to get out, I want to get out!

Look at what you're like now

Scathing, jealous, stupid.

you're not a match to her in any aspect!

You can't even complete a small task like poisoning a drink!

And even tried to drag me in the water with you.

Wenren family even has such an elder sister like you.

It's really disgusting.

Senior brother...senior brother...

Senior brother...

I truly love you with all my heart.

I'll do anything you ask of me.

I'll listen to anything you say!

My heart only has you!

I will show you my heart.

I will show you my heart. Take me out from here.

Take me out of this place!

Take me out of this place!

I beg you Senior brother

Senior brother...

Senior brother

Shu'er, you deceived the King.

Even Senior brother can't save you.

Open the door.

Don't.

Fu YuanZhi!

Fu YuanZhi!

Fu YuanZhi, you liar!

Mister Fu, you are done talking?

She's in a shock and her mind is not sane.

So she has been talking nonsense.

It's all like that. All the prisoners always say they're not guilty.

My brothers, Wenren Shu is afterall still my Junior sister

and a girl

so if it's not too much to ask, can you not give her a hard time?

Young Master Fu, you're indeed admirable

you're even so caring towards an old friend who is now a criminal

don't worry, trust us

before she is convicted, we won't let anyone touch her.

Then much thanks.

I'm leaving.

Take care, Mister Fu.

He's indeed a young master from a wealthy and influential family.

- He's brought up well. - That's right.

What should I say?

You and A'Juan are seriously together?

That's right.

How long has it been?

- Do you like her? - Yes.

- Love her? - I do.

You want to marry her?

Then why didn't you come to me to propose?!

- Stinky brat! Let me warn you, if you're thinking of-- - Noo, it's not like that...

It's A'Juan who didn't want me to tell you.

What?

She said she's afraid you wouldn't agree to our marriage.

So she said to wait until the time is right for me to have a good talk with you.

Why would I say anything bad?

Does that mean you agree to it?

I...

What are they talking about?

Luo Qiuchi...

you have a quick tongue.

I was afraid of your slick tongue. That's why I was worried.

Our A'Juan is kind and innocent.

She's well-behaved and sensible.

She's from...

How come there is no movement at all?

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Cheerful Scholars Team @Viki

What are they saying?

Is that what you just said?

The gentle, well-behaved, kind and innocent A'Juan?

In my opinion, she has been with you for too long.

So she has become like this.

- Me? - Yes.

A'Juan was such a good girl before.

In the past, she was very well-behaved and shy.

She wouldn't even dare to raise her voice when she talks. Look at her now.

- Look at her now. - Why is there no sound all of a sudden?
