[The Destiny of White Snake]

[Episode 23]

Their target is you.

Let me warn you that we don't shelter snakes and rats here in the Golden Mount Temple.

Really?

What about Little Qing then?

It's none of your business.

If you continue to keep me in suspense, I'm going to be furious with you.

I saw that you were quite intimate with Little Qing just now.

You didn't look angry at all.

All right. Don't worry.

The answer... will be revealed in two days.

All right. I will wait two more days for you.

When the time comes...

I have to keep the night vigil later.

Just stay in my room since you are so timid.

Stay with this white snake, in case... it will be assaulted again.

Qi Xiao, have you ever seen a snake blush?

Is something wrong with you up here?

It is a snake, not a human.

Why would it blush?

Why do I always feel that

it blushes every time it looks at me?

Physician Xu, if you have the time,

you should prescribe a few more courses of medicine for yourself.

♫ Strong liquor down the mouth is like a droplet ♫

♫ That dissolves into layers of bitterness and spice ♫

♫ Only when the heart takes down its armor can one
becomes an immortal ♫

Mountain Queen, why do I feel that you are behaving strangely today?

Are you injured?

Go away.

I'm just wondering, why am I so weird today?

Last time, when all of you lit up the entire mountain with lamps for me,

I was not happy at all.

Say, what happened to me today?

My heart was pounding so fast that

it almost leaped out of my chest.

So, what's going on?

I understand it now.

Does it mean encountering the assassins

makes me glad as it is a very joyous event?

I don't think so.

♫ I only fear that ♫

♫ He has never seen such a beautiful sight ♫

♫ Strong liquor down the mouth is like a droplet ♫

♫ That dissolves into layers of bitterness and spice ♫

What are you looking at?

W-Why are you here?

I don't know if those men in black will appear again.

Tonight,

let's keep vigil together.

What are you doing?

Don't tell me you are hungry and want to eat me?

Who wants to eat you?

I just feel really weird today.

The moment I see you, my mouth and tongue feel dry,

and my heart keeps pounding nonstop.

Could you have accidentally ingested some realgar?

You!

- I understand it now.
- What's wrong, Mountain Queen?

Are... you cultivating some new magical prowess to subdue demons?

Stay away from me!

Don't ever think that...you can subdue me without anyone knowing.

No way!

What's the matter, Mountain Queen?

I just sent away a human who's not right in his head.

And now, why have I bumped into

a demon who has something wrong with her head?

Was your Mountain Queen possessed by the devil as a result of something gone wrong during her cultivation practice?

My deity friend.

My old deity friend.

Look at the situation now. Aren't you worried about it?

Come quickly with me and have a look.

The mortal world is becoming chaotic now.

What's the matter?

Ling Chu is actually protecting that little green snake.

This is truly an ill-fated relationship.

A thousand years ago,

you were not this tense even when Zi Xuan got into trouble.

How can Zi Xuan compare with my Ling Chu?

All right. Please quickly think of a solution.

If he continues to be hopelessly entangled with that little demon,

then I... I'll be disgraced.

Only when something happens to your Ling Chu

will you then become anxious.

As for the matter you mentioned, I had noticed it earlier.

Then, why didn't you take action on it?

Do you think we are the only two persons worried about it?

Who else is worried?

I went to Mount Li the other day.

The Sacred Lady of Mount Li?

The Sacred Lady of Mount Li is incapable of disciplining her disciples.

Look at what her disciple had done.

Let it be.

All of us are teachers.

Which one of us would want to see our disciple going astray?

She has a solution?

The Sacred Lady of Mount Li gave Bai Yaoyao a peach wood sword.

I want to take this opportunity

to let Xu Xuan completely forget about this ill-fated relationship.

What about Ling Chu?

Once Bai Yaoyao is gone,

how would it be possible for the little green snake to remain at the Golden Mount Temple?

When the time comes, we will find an opportunity to dispatch her and Bai Yaoyao

back to Mount Li together to practice cultivation.

Now, the temple is surrounded by the common people.

In the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn (about 15 minutes),

the final result will be announced.

A good show is about to begin.

Why don't you secretly tell me

what the secret written in the letter is?

There is half an incense stick's worth of time left.

Offer a higher price if you want to know it that much.

Have you become delirious with greed for money?

In a moment, I will be able to change back into a human form.

The peach wood sword is here with me.

If anyone dares to come and create trouble here,

I can go and help him right away.

That's my sword!

My sword!

A peach wood sword that fell from Heaven?

Could it be that Heaven is intentionally trying to enlighten me?

Little white snake, what do you think exactly is the use of this sword?

That's my sword.

I must have been infected by Xu Xuan's mental illness.

I actually thought it could understand human words.

I've advised you before that

you won't be able to get what you want by forcing someone's hand.

I did not expect them to be this vigilant.

Though you undertook the mission personally,

not only did you fail to snatch the letter,

even that white snake managed to escape.

From now on, I will not make any more moves.

At the end of it all, I feel guilty about doing this.

How about him?

He didn't even look back when he left the Apothecary House.

You feel guilty towards him,

while he shows no mercy to us.

What can we do even if it is true?

Today is the deadline to reveal the letter.

Who has offered the highest price so far?

The biggest apothecary of Lin'an City, Boss Meng.

Boss Meng?

[Great Heroes Jeweled Hall]

Let's go.

It is time now.

Today is the day we unseal the letter.

I, Xu Xuan, have to make it clear beforehand that

the highest bidder will get this letter.

In this case, let us welcome

Boss Meng of Hundred Herbs House to come forward.

Thanks, everyone, for your support.

Hundred Herbs House will always welcome all of you.

Hold on!

As the Apothecary House hasn't offered a price,

this competitive bidding has not ended yet.

What nonsense are you talking about? It's time!

I'm the one who won the bid. It can't be changed.

Since Boss Meng can offer a bidding price,

so does the Apothecary House.

The highest bidder will get it. This is what you had said.

Please offer a price then, Miss Leng.

I'm wealthy enough.

I don't believe you can offer a higher price than me.

- Little Bai!
- Little Qing.

Little Bai, Little Bai, Little Bai! I finally found you!

Why did you appear in a forest suddenly?

I had to look everywhere for you.

I missed the time for the unsealing of the letter.

Little Qing, I have to attend to an exceedingly urgent matter right now.

The slightest mistake will lead to a disaster.

Don't frighten me, Little Bai.

I only have this little bit of snake gall.

Calm yourself first and I'll explain to you slowly.

Come here.

Should you regret it someday, thrust this sword into Xu Xuan's chest

and you will get back your magic power.

A peach wood sword that fell from Heaven?

Could it be that Heaven is deliberately trying to enlighten me?

What?

Teacher is afraid that I might regret the matter.

Hence, she bestowed me with this magic weapon.

But I kept it just to defend myself.

I have no intention of getting back my magic power at all.

However, Little Bai, think about it.

You can get back your magic power with just one gentle stab.

Aren't you tempted at all?

If I do that, he will forget me.

If he forgets about me,

what can I do even if I get back my magic power?

Okay. You can leave this matter to me.

I will go find Qi Xiao right now and steal the sword back.

Little Qing, you must be careful in handling this matter.

Don't let anyone know about it.

Don't worry, my Little Bai.

I will never tell him even if he beats me to death.

Go then.

The peach wood sword would not fall into Qi Xiao's hand for no reason.

There must be someone manipulating it from behind.

But who is so capable?

Could it be the Green and White Emperors?

This is my last lesson for you.

You are taking me for a ride?

This is not the letter in the hall at all.

This is the real letter.

It was originally a piece of blank paper.

Then... have you not fooled all the people in the world?

I kept this letter

because I was curious about how everyone would think

of me, Xu Xuan, after I resign from the position of Lord.

What would they think about you?

Who would be willing to believe in a person who has betrayed his teacher?

Didn't many people come today to buy my letter?

How could it be that no one believes in me?

Those people were just here to watch the fun.

And those who bid a high price for the letter

are all greedy and shameless, coveting the medical skills of the Apothecary House.

Everyone is suspicious of me.

But there are still some people who did not hesitate to splurge recklessly.

It's precisely because they trust my ability.

So what if they do?

News about today's matter will spread very soon.

By that time, I will be able to establish myself in Lin'an Prefecture.

It was all because of that white snake.

Who would have been fooled if it didn't appear suddenly?

The appearance of that white snake

was indeed beyond my expectations.

It added momentum to the event.

What about you?

Rather than hold back in the end,

why did you offer three times the price

to win the bid for the letter instead?

I thought...

You thought I would betray the Apothecary House?

That is what everyone outside is saying.

Though I didn't want to believe it, I still have to guard against it.

It is precisely because you fear the contents of the letter

that led you to make the wrong decision.

As the Lord of the Apothecary House,

you should have the courage and insight to deal with the rumors and slanders out there.

Once you offer a price,

it means the Apothecary House is terrified of me, too.

Naturally, it raises my status as well.

You are certainly worthy to be my senior brother.

You saw through my weakness at a glance.

Three times the price.

Have you ever looked at the account records carefully?

Have you considered seriously the purpose of each expenditure?

Every single cent of the Apothecary House should be used where it is needed most.

To safeguard the House and uphold its status as left behind by Teacher

is not as easy as what you think.

Since you are managing it now, you should think for the good of the Apothecary House.

The name of Leng Ning can never ever be placed above it.

I will remember it.

I will never forget the lesson I've learned today for the rest of my life.

I'll take my leave.

Stop right there!

I will return this money to the Apothecary House.

As for the remaining, consider it your tuition fee.

What are you going to do in the future without this money?

A peach wood sword that fell from Heaven?

Heaven must be deliberately trying to enlighten me.

What exactly is the use of this sword?

You are no longer a three-year-old kid.

Why are you playing with a wooden sword here?

It's none of your business.

You don't know anything.

This is a treasured sword bestowed by Heaven.

I'm keeping my promise. We will each take half of it.

Your junior sister is really rich, isn't she?

She gave you so much money?

I have returned all the money belonging to the Apothecary House.

Returned it?

Then, this money...

I was surrounded by all the apothecaries in the city outside the room in the wing just now.

They were all scrambling to give me money,

and even wanted to set up a medical center with me.

I don't want to be with them. I have nowhere to hide either,

so I simply took some of the money

and sent them away.

There is a saying which is right.

"Fame portends trouble for men just as fattening does for pigs."

Exactly what peerless prescription is written in your letter?

Since it has been sold, why don't you tell me

what exactly is written in it?

You will not believe it even if I told you.

How would you know I won't believe it if you don't tell me?

All right. I will tell you then.

There is nothing in the letter at all.

I don't believe it.

This Xu Xuan!

He actually set a trap for the common people of Lin'an City in order to raise his own reputation.

Physical contact between men and women is improper.

Even though you are a female demon, you are still a woman.

You have been staring at me and sizing me up for the past few days.

Exactly what conspiracy are you up to?

I was thinking... I never expected you to be the kind of person who

led a plain, hard-working life, and not caring about your appearance.

You don't even know there's a hole in your garment.

Really? Why didn't I realize it?

It's over there.

Why didn't I see it?

Didn't you say it's improper for men and women to have physical contact with each other?

Why did you change your mind in a blink of an eye?

Explain to me properly. How exactly did this sword originate?

You should go and ask Little Bai.

Miss Bai will definitely not tell me.

So, I could only set about getting the information from you.

- You!
- I want to read your mind.

The peach wood sword is the magic instrument bestowed personally by the Sacred Lady of Mount Li.

It can help Bai Yaoyao regain her one thousand years of cultivation base.

Then, the fact that it fell from Heaven into my hands

is definitely not a coincidence, but Heaven's will.

Just like that day.

Little Bai has waited for a thousand years before she found Zi Xuan.

She only wants to help him.

Please, I beg you to be merciful and grant them their wish.

Bai Yaoyao is bold and reckless in her vain attempt to reverse Heaven's mandate.

I'm afraid the future of the three of them will be ruined by her.

So, it was who you intentionally brought the While Moon Flower here.

You are not from Mount Li.

Haven't you left already?

I thought about it carefully. White Moon Flower is the magic herb of the Moon Palace.

Besides the Penglai Mountain of Immortals, I fear it is hardly found elsewhere.

I am a person who likes to have a clear idea of everything I do.

Deity, are you from the Penglai Mountain of Immortals?

Since you have already got hold of the White Moon Flower, don't delay any further. Go back to the mortal world quickly.

But I heard your conversation with that High Deity.

There is something I don't understand. I must clarify it.

You heard everything?

I was confused by it.

In a nutshell, someone has been looking for Xu Xuan

for a thousand years, and even

did not hesitate to violate Heaven's laws in the process of it.

You are very nervous. It must be because my words have hit home.

This person is Miss Bai?

For the sake of Xu Xuan, she is not the only one who suffered.

There is even someone else living in the abyss of suffering without realizing it.

Deity, since I have already heard it, just tell me the truth.

Maybe I can help them.

Since Heaven has arranged for you to hear all these,

perhaps it is for you to go prevent this calamity.

Everything has a cause and an outcome.

I can tell you the outcome so that you can go resolve it.

But you are a part of the cause.

You need to slowly comprehend it yourself.

Miss Bai abandoned her one-thousand years of cultivation base just to reverse Xu Xuan's fate.

Although I don't know why she is willing to risk her life,

but if anything goes wrong, she will be reduced to ashes and be scattered. By then, we will not be able to turn this hopeless situation around.

Heaven cares for every living creature. Both their lives should not end like this.

If Xu Xuan can forget Miss Bai,

this ill-fated relationship can perhaps end.

Both of them can also be freed from suffering.

[Li Manor]

How dare you come back?

Everything will be fine as long as he is back. Why are you scolding him?

Stand aside. I am disciplining my brother. Why would you get to say anything?

This...

I went to the Golden Mount Temple so many times.

You refused to see me, saying that you are practicing the cultivation of quietism.

I was so frightened I couldn't even eat my meal every day.

Our Xu family only had one male heir for three generations.

Every day, I burn incense and kowtow before our ancestors' memorial tablets.

But look at you. You are finally back.

The moment you return home, the first thing you say to me was that you want to marry Bai Yaoyao.

What do you... take your sister as?

You can't put it this way, right?

Did I ask for your opinion? You are such an ungrateful man.

You even want to help him?

Don't tell me you going to let him marry that woman with a dubious background into our family?

Miss Bai has a name and surname.

In any case, she is the disciple of a well-known teacher.

If it wasn't for her, would Xu Xuan end up like this?

He had been sent to prison, broke a marriage contract,

left the Apothecary House, and is being reviled by the commoners in the city every day.

Everything is fine now.

As his sister, I feel so ashamed.

I have to hide from the neighbors even when I go out for grocery shopping every day now.

All those have passed.

Now, he is renowned all over Lin'an Prefecture.

Even the county magistrate is praising him.

I was worried about him every day, yet no one cared about me.

I have to scold him until he understands.

I hid from you because I was afraid you would be worried about me and would cry.

You often scolded me since I was a child. I am already used to it.

Now, when everyone in the prefecture office sees me,

they all praise me for having an awesome brother-in-law.

I heard that all the apothecaries

are now begging him to go manage their establishments.

Who dares to speak ill of the Xu family anymore?

I understand Sister's temper best. She is more stubborn than me since young.

She hates being forced by others the most.

It is reasonable that Sister would not agree to the marriage proposal.

I'm glad that you know it.

I will never help in the matter between you and Bai Yaoyao.

All right. Since you do not agree to it,

there's no point in talking about going to the Bai Manor to propose marriage anymore.

That's right.

Don't ever think that I will go to Bai Manor to propose marriage on your behalf.

Young Lord Xu! Young Lord Xu!

This is great. The whole family is here.

Young Lord Xu is now a prominent personality of Lin'an City.

Since you have entrusted me with the matter,

then I, Third Lady Wang, will not shirk from my responsibility.

Don't worry, Young Lord Xu. Leave your matter to me.

Wait a moment.

What could Xu Xuan have entrusted you with?

I had long expected that Sister would not agree to it.

However, it is only sensible and reasonable that I inform you in advance.

I could only entrust Third Lady Wang to act as a matchmaker for me,

and ask her to go to Bai Manor to propose marriage on my behalf.

Young Lord Xu, you have found the right person indeed.

There is no marriage that can't be matched by me, Third Lady Wang, in the entire Lin'an City.

Even if you are the brother of the former number one matchmaker, Xu Jiaorong,

it's just the same.

All right, no need to walk me out. I'll carry on with my work then.

Stop right there! We don't need you to interfere with the Xu family's matter.

[Bai Manor]

Sister Xu, you have not spoken against your conviction?

I've brought the gifts here. How would I go against my conviction?

However, such a matter would still depend on what the girl's wish is.

Normally, the girl's family would not agree at once. They have to at least put up an appearance.

I think you would have to refuse him at least 3 times.

Just do it.

Good. I understand. I will refuse Xu Xuan for you.

Xu Xuan would never expect you to actually refuse him.

I agree to the marriage. I'm willing to marry Xu Xuan.

You... You are accepting his proposal so easily?

Miss Bai, a marriage

affects a woman's happiness for her entire life.

You have to think clearly about it.

Is Xu Xuan worthy for you to—

Thank you for granting me my wish, Sister.

There's nothing to thank me for.

You... Why are you crying?

I... I did not expect that

he would ask Sister to propose marriage on his behalf to me.

I thought he was still angry with me.

It is a joyous occasion. All right, don't cry anymore.

I've made a laughingstock of myself in front of you.

I'm truly happy from the bottom of my heart. Really.

He told me before that you are his only relative in the world.

I know that though he is usually indifferent towards others,

he has a warm heart.

He alienated himself from his family and friends

because he fears that his lonely and miserable fate would bring harm to others.

But in his heart, he has never forgotten everyone.

Now I understand why.

It's clear to me now.

After listening to your words just now,

I know that in the future, there will be someone

who understands and cares about him.

As his sister,

I can finally put my mind at ease.

With just a gentle stab like this?

He will forget me.

Miss Bai?

How are you? Are you hurt?

You are the one is injured, isn't it?

I'm all right.

- I...
- What "I"?

A young hero like you, who used a despicable method to find out about this matter!

You promised that you would not tell outsiders.

In the end, you used the peach wood sword to destroy their marriage!

What do you know? I'm doing this for their own good before the fatal mistake

- is made!
- Qi Xiao!

Miss Bai, I didn't mean to hurt you.

It's just that I met White Crane Deity when I went to Mount Li.

I know. I understand your concern for me.

However, some matters cannot be measured in terms of right or wrong.

What are you two talking about? I can't understand anything at all.

You are actually hiding something from me?

It's nothing. Nothing at all.

We are just joking.

Just joking.

We are just fooling around.

Tell me! What's going on with the peach wood sword?

Let me tell you about it.

Are you still angry with me?

What do you think?

Well, I hid the truth from you previously.

It makes sense for you to be angry.

No! What are you doing?

You... You...

Regarding my sister's marriage proposal at your manor earlier,

have you given due consideration to it?

Of course, I...

Have you chosen a date?

Does it mean that you have agreed to it?

I was thinking just now that we have been through so many hardships together.

If you don't accept me eventually,

I will thrust this peach wood sword into my heart.

Only by forgetting you can my suffering be lessened.

Don't you say that.

I've finally thought it through these days.

You were indifferent to me and moved into the Golden Mount Temple alone

not because you were heartless,

but because you wanted to prove yourself.

Am I right?

I thought you would never understand it in your whole life.

Am I this stupid in your mind?

It seems that your intelligence has improved much

under my training.

He who handles vermilion will be reddened, while he who touches ink will be blackened.

This is so true.

Rumors spread everywhere after I left the Apothecary House.

I didn't even have a place to stay.

How could I bear to let you endure the suffering

and face the rumors and slanders along with me?

I'm not afraid.

How can I spend my life with you if I can't bear even a little suffering?

I know that you are not afraid.

Therefore, it is even more important that I sever all ties with you.

I want you to know that no matter what difficulties we encounter,

I will be able to endure through it.

You don't have to do anything for me.

And I will always by your side to shelter you from danger.

I know that you don't always play by the rules,

not even when you propose marriage.

♫ I look back while leaning against the door in a cool fall night ♫

♫ I want to ask you how long you'll be gone this time
but I stop myself ♫

♫ I only miss you alone and want to grow old with you ♫

♫ Who cares about the glorious future ahead? ♫

♫ I don't envy how a deity sees a human year as a day ♫

♫ I only hate that a lifetime in the human world is less
than a millennium ♫

How could I show you my determination if I didn't do so?

No matter what difficulties we will encounter in the future,

I will be able to solve them again since I'd solved it once.

Remember to never use this peach wood sword again,

no matter what difficulties we encounter.

You purposely frightened me just now?

I'm glad that you understand it.

As for me, it is better for me to live my days in suffering rather than forget you.

It is worthwhile even if I have to suffer.

Since this peach wood sword is useless, we don't have to keep it.

Just throw it away!

No, you can't throw it away.

No matter what, it is a gift from my greatly respected teacher.

We have to respect Teacher.

The way I see it, we'd better forget about those deities who have ruined people's marriages.

Our teachers are all listening to us from Heaven.

Why are you talking about something that I can't understand again?

Anyway, you can't throw this sword away.

All right!

In this case, let me keep the peach wood sword.

Will you agree to that?

♫ Who cares about the glorious future ahead? ♫

♫ I don't envy how a deity sees a human year as a day ♫

♫ I only hate that a lifetime in the human world is less
than a millennium ♫

♫ Cloud and rain remain and the score is unsettled;
The love is unfulfilled ♫

♫ Our love intertwines for a millennium ♫

Do you think you will be all right by hiding here, you despicable villain?

As the saying goes, one would rather tear down ten temples but not a marriage.

I have done everything with a clear conscience.

You!

Don't you ever think that

you might fall in love with a demon someday?
