[Ever Night]

[Episode 18]

This is all the Empress's evil scheme.

Imperial Uncle, there's something that I didn't dare to tell anyone.

Indeed, it was a demon girl.

My younger brother came today because of Yu Er and her brothers.

You've heard what happened earlier in the palace.

And you still dare to come here to plead for mercy for him.

Royal Older Brother, please don't be angry.

Yu Er and Hunyuan are your biological children.

Please, Imperial Brother, be lenient.

I heard that you gave an order to prohibit Hunyuan from returning to the Academy.

I believe Yu'er and her brother must be very upset.

Afterall, Hunyuan is still young.

He still needs guidance from other people.

What are your suggestions?

Hunyuan has never liked studying since he was little.

He's still young and immature.

You can't force him to accept things.

How about enlist him in the army to get him disciplined?

Military discipline.

Your Majesty. Back in the days, Your Majesty also lead the army against the Yan enemies atop a golden warhorse.

Men in the palace should join the army to learn and train so they can become real men.

Your suggestion isn't bad.

Then I will tell Hun Yuan to study well from Shan Yue.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I still have some affairs at home that I need to take care of.

I won't be drinking tea with you.

I'll come see you another day.

I'll take my leave.

Pei Er, since when did Yu Er and her brothers become so close?

You could only see the noble front we present.

But you couldn't know the hardships we endured.

How is it?

Do you really, really want to become one of Fu Zi's disciples?

Then you must first pass the academy's second level exam.

Go sign up.

So you led me in such a big circle

coming to see me had an ulterior purpose.

I just can't see to your careless eat until it gets dark, nothing matters expression!

You can't waste my precious pill.

You will either take the second level exam at the academy or return my pill.

Cut it out.

To tell you the truth, I investigated that Fu Zi's students are not all to be taught directly by him.

Those who come to the exam are also not just academy students.

There are many who randomly show up.

Just amongst us math department, there is Xie Chengyun, Chu Zhongtian, Wang Yin,

and also that Prince Longqin from Xiling.

Currently, I just started understanding the topics, just managed to find my life object.

What do I compete with?

You found your life object? What is it? What is it?

I'm not telling you.

Anyway, as an amateur cultivator,

I don't have family influence nor money nor real talent.

How do I take the exam?

If you don't take the exam, give me back my pill!

Anyways, I want you to work hard, apply for the exam, and make you pass all with flying colors.

If you want to me my sworn brother, there's only this one way.

Go, useless.

You... Stop! Stop!

You!

I'll let you look at a special place, special scenery.

I want you to know that to be one of Fu Zi's disciples, you will enter a world you couldn't have known.

It's him?

What is that?

Great sword energy.

Great sword energy?

[Tang Empire]

Long Qing. Long Qing. Long Qing.

Long Qing. Long Qing. Long Qing.

Long Qing. Long Qing.

Long Qing.

Long Qing.

Long Qing. Long Qing. Long Qing.

Look at me, Long Qing. Look at me!

Everyone praised that the Tang Empire is the world's overlord.

The capital of Tang is the world number one grand city.

The Tang people are the most intelligent.

But it seems like they've forgotten that this world belongs to the Heavens.

Long Qing! Long Qing!

It all only sounds good.

Take what second level exam.

If I'm hungry, how can I take the test?

Sang Sang. Sang Sang!

Where is she?

Sang Sang

Smells good.

- Hot and sour noodle soup. - Sang Sang.

You're here.

What's with your lips? Your mouth is smeared red.

And rouge is smeared on, too.

I will carry it to you directly myself!

Could it be that you also went to see that Prince Long Qing?

The world's most beautiful guy.

Young Master, today's hot and sour noodle soup is delicious.

I specifically told the owner to add more hot and sour ingredients.

So how does he look like? Handsome like me?

Young Master, hurry and eat. When the noodles get all stuck together, it won't taste good.

Stop right there. You still haven't answered me.

What's he look like?

Young Master, when the noodles get cold, it won't taste good.

Hurry and eat. I'll feed you.

The hot and sour noodle soup is really very tasty.

Are you going to tell me?

What does the world's most beautiful guy look like?

Young Master is always right.

1. Young Master is always right.

2. If Young Master is wrong, then it must be me, Sang Sang, that saw it wrong.

3. If Sang Sang didn't see things wrong, then it must be that Sang Sang thought it wrong.

4. If Sang Sang didn't think wrong, as long as Young Master didn't say he was wrong, then Young Master isn't wrong.

5. If Sang Sang was wrong and say that Young Master is wrong, then Sang Sang is wrong.

6. Please refer to number 1-- Young Master is always right.

You talked so much but it all comes down to the same few words.

And that's if it's Young Master's words, then for the most part, it's right.

Come here.

From now on, don't make yourself looking like this. Go wipe it off.

[Military Order As Mountains]

You all know who I am?

I am the Prince, your future king.

You're all my soldiers.

Why aren't you saluting when you see me?

How dare you!

All wooden-headed.

It's no fun.

You . . .

Your Highness, please change clothes.

What's the meaning of this? I have to wear this? The same as them?

I am a prince. I won't wear that.

Your Highness may be a royal,

but once you enter the barracks, you must observe military rule.

I am under the king's orders to be strict with you.

If you refuse to obey, you will get beaten and yelled at at the very least.

In the worst case, you will be punished per martial law.

You dare?

Your Highness, please follow orders.

You are my sister's guard. You must obey me!

Try me!

Who did that?

One of these days, I'll have all of you die by my sword.

Li Hunyuan, aren't you exhausted?

Exhausted!

No, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not.

Who are you guys? What do you want?

Minister Zhang, it's been a long time.

General Lin, it's you?

I'm here to kill you.

High Minister, I'm joking.

Under General Xia Hou's orders, I secretly came back to the capital.

There's an extremely important matter that I'd like High Minister to help with.

It's an important matter.

I have no choice but to make a bad move.

I hope My Lord can forgive me.

No, no. I am extremely honored to be able to share the burdens of General Lin and General Xiao Hou.

Just what is this matter?

Former Cersor Zhang Yiqi

The blacksmith Chen Zixian.

There's also Yan Suqing.

The three of them died an unnatural death.

I think, High Minister,

as the governor for the Capital, you should know the case better than I do.

Yes.

I want to know if there were any hidden facts or circumstances regarding their three deaths.

Also, has the one who killed Yan Suqing been caught yet?

This . . .

High Minister, could it be that there's something you're hiding from General Xia Hou?

No, no, no, Commander Lin.

I've already discovered a few clues.

I am about to report them to the court.

Tell me about it.

Okay. Okay.

No Color.

I heard that Prince Longqing is staying in the imperial post house.(T/N: Post houses allowed travelers to rest and change horses)

I heard my dad say that Prince Longqing suddenly developed a cold.

It seems like he's never made an appearance.

Even Zeng Jing who were sent by the government to pick him up didn't even see him.

Everyone, everyone. I have something very important to report to everyone.

In a few months, it'll be the Academy's Two-Story Building's opening day.

Also the time for our talented ones to show Victory Restaurant has always had the meeting of victory.

We are discussing at Victory Restaurant for the most likely to step up to level two among us,

Xie Chengyun, Chu Zhongtian, Wang Ying, to cheer for them.

Every classmate please join us

Please join us

Ms Situ Yilan, please join us

Now that it's representing our class, we all have to attend.

Okay.

Ning Que!

You have to come, too.

I heard the Victory pancake at Victory Restaurant

is so famous that people standing in line for it reaches our Academy.

Then it's settled. See you there this evening.

Meeting adjourned.

-Let's go together tonight. -Okay.

You . . .

These two really just work in the interest of an opposing group at the expense of one's own.

[Victory restaurant]

Alright, wait for me here with the driver.

I'll try to bring some good wine and dish out then we go home.

Young Master, why do you still come if you don't like them?

I told you before.

Tonight's dining is spending Zhong Dajun's money.

Then eat your fill.

Okay. Wait for me here.

Hello mister.

Thank you.

Yu Er sister, not sure when are we gonna meet again.

Chong Ming Brother, we are only apart temporarily.

After you return Yan State, become the empire of Yan State. And Tang Empire and Yan State will be friendly.

Why worry that we won't meet again.

Yes, why would we worry that we won't meet again.

It's just...if I became the empire of Yan State

One, if Tang and Yan go into war and Yan lose

I'm a monarch who lost his country.

Second, if I lead my troops break into Tang Empire

Just kidding.

Yu Er sister, don't take it too seriously.

If we have some freetime another time, my treat.

Find some special treats.

We are not kids anymore.

We won't binge on the pleasure of eating.

You may all leave.

Brother Chong Ming, you'll become the king of Yan in the future.

If your little sis wants to ask you for something, it'll be convienient.

I hope that Brother Chong Ming and Yu'er can help each other.

But it's not easy to grab the throne of Yan,

to say nothing of the 15 years I've been living in the capital of Tang.

I've grown accustomed to the climate, environment, customs and people here.

Most importantly, there is a person that I cherish here.

What you just said is impropriate.

- The King of Yan is at an old age... - Sister Yu'er, you only have to say the word,

I can risk my life for you, let alone the throne.

There's one thing I've learnt during my two years on the prairie.

To act impulsively will probably destroy many beautiful memories in mind.

Brother Chong Ming, we should both face reality.

You'd rather marry down, choosing the Chief of the Golden Horde than giving your hand to me.

Brother Chong Ming represents the State of Yan,

but Yan is not the most powerful nation in the world.

You can't give me what I want.

I hear that this time, only one candidate will be enrolled into the Secondary Floor, is it always like this

The enrollment rules of Secondary Floor differ each time.

It's possible that this time only one'll be enrolled.

The task is rather difficult. I'll surely try my best.

Not to let you classmates down, and not to let the teachers' hard work go to waste.

Well, bro, you've already entered the No Doubt Level.

Even Cao said you are the fist one in this class. You are very likely to get up to the second level.

If even you are not confident enough, who else can enter the Secondary Floor?

Brother Xie, do your best.

Bro, when you get into the Secondary Floor, be sure to tell us what it's like.

We are really curious.

You're still very young.

Even if you can't get into the Secondary Floor this time, you'll just get in next time.

No need for me to pry information for you.

To be honest, if there hasn't come a Prince Long Qing halfway, I bet Brother Xie will be a shoo-in.

But this Prince Long Qing . . .

Ning Que's here.

Hurr

Ning Que.

- Let me ask you something. - Okay.

How did you get to know the Princess?

I picked her up on the road.

You must remember it wrong. No way you get to pick up the princess on the road.

Let me tell you two, the things I picked up on the road are all great, all treasure,

like Sang Sang in my house.

Ning Que, have you heard of Long Qing?

Him again?

Long Qing certainly is the most outstanding one among our younger generations.

Admitting others' strength is not a shameful thing.

You come from border troops, why don't you look like it one bit?

I...

What a soldier must be like?

In my opinion, for a soldier to defend the land and pioneer the frontiers, he depends on something else, not pretentiousness.

What is it?

Discipline, courage, trust.

What are you doing? Don't you have eyes?

Let me tell you, even if General Xu Shi came himself, he dare not to cross the students of the Academy.

Let's continue.

So it's the Academy students.

Really, each generation gets worse than the last one.

You kids just learn something on the surface so and yet show off here

The academy's first lesson is manners. And manners are the rules!

Don't you believe I use the rules of the Academy

beat all of you！

Brother Hua, you are a nobel general of Gu Shan military, why would you get upset with us.

Oh you are Gu Shan Military General. No wonder so vigorous.

Hua Brother. I heard you just bought a mansion in Tang Capital.

I'll go visit you some day.

Alright. Bring Yilan. But not anyone else.

Brother Hua, these are all the talented ones in the Academy

Talented ones

Let's play together.

Go. Go. Go.

Where are you going?

Chong Ming Brother is about to go back to Yan State

You are the paternal olderst son.

No one can take the throne away from you.

Paternal oldest son.

The problem is no one is trying to take it away from me.

Just that thing does not belong to me yet.

People in Yan State, my prestige brother

comparing to a prince prisoned in Tang, a coward prince,

is more suitable for the throne.

Chong Ming Brother, I helped Hua Shanyue gained the Shan Yin Country military control.

Shan Yin Country is on the boarder of Yan and Tang

Not until the last step

I wouldn't use your army.

Not until the last step, we would all be okay.

But if we had to get there, Yu Er hope Chong Ming Brother made the right decision without hesitation

This is not only in consideration of Tang Empire,

I also hope Chong Ming brother take whatever belongs to you back.

Hua Shanyue

Princess. Chong Ming, Your Highness.

What kind of people are out there?

The people outside are Academy students. They've reserved the whole veranda.

The students at the Academy are the supporter and future for Tang and even the entire world.

Choing Ming brother must want to meet those students.

Of course.

Hua Shanyue, send my order. Let's have a feast at the front hall.

Chong Ming Crown Prince and I are going to have fun together with the students,

enjoy the good meal at Victory

Yes

Greet Long Qing Prince. Greet Cheng priest.

This way, please.

Greetings, Princess. Greetings, Prince Chong Ming.

Sit down.

Chong Ming brother, how do you think of these talented youth of Tang

Tang is prestige above the world. And the Academy is among the flourishing.

The students at the Academy all look charismatic.

Who is this to break in Prince's party?

Little brother, run!

Run!

Greetings, Princess.

Long Qing, it's been years since we saw each other.

Imperial Elder Brother

Princess, this is Prince Long Qing.

So handsome.

Princess your highness, Long Qing Prince came from Xiling caught a cold.

Previously was resting at Peach blossom alley.

Haven't had a chance to greet Chong Ming Crown Prince.

Today heard about Crown Prince is going to return to Yan.

Therefore regardless of without being fully recovered, came to visit Chong Ming Prince

Xiling's Child of Light

Since you've come, then might as well have a seat.

Prince Long Qing, please sit on this side. Priest Cheng Lixue, please.

Sang Sang, you wanted to see Prince Long Qing, right?

I just casually talked about it that day. It's not like I've always wanted to see him.

Then do you want to eat some good food? And drink some wine?

- Yes, I do. - Let's go.

I‘ve heard that Prince Long Qing is the most formidable talent of the world.

This time you've come to our Academy to study,

and the students of the Academy should get along with you well.

The eagle will not show its pride in front of the ants.

Mountains will not scoop low to look down upon valleys.

If people from different worlds are forcibly thrown together,

they'll not get along with each other.

His Majesty has ordered me to show Prince Long Qing around the capital.

Although we've only talked a few times, I'm super impressed by His Highness' broad knowledge.

Plus his cultivation level is really astonishing. To enter the Secondary Floor of the Academy should not be a problem.

To enter the Secondary Floor of the Academy is not that simple.

Xiling has many great talents, and Prince Long Qing

is the most outstanding member of the Heaven Decree Academy in the last decade.

At only twenty years old, he's already about to enter Knowing Destiny Level.

If he can't get in,

who can?

About to enter Knowing Destiny Level and already in the Knowing Destiny Level are two different things.

- May I ask? - Please.

The so-called Dao has no action, no place, no image, no physical form...

- Sit there. Hurry. - ...no nothing.

To see is not to see, to hear is not to hear.

- Help yourself. - To know is not to know, to perceive is not to perceive.

- It's contained in the nature... is called Dao. - We sit too far away. I can't see Prince Long Qing's face.

If one really wants to know Dao, stay away from the name of Dao; away from the name of Dao,

away from opinions, have no opinions, then all we have is a peaceful and natural life.

Don't you see that the show has just begun? The debate between two great talents is a rare scene to behold.

Young master, who do you think will win?

I just hope that Xie Chengyun didn't lose his shirt.

If I'm wrong, please let me hear your reasoning.

Spoken well!

Prince Long Qing win this debate!

Sit down! I didn't think that the students of our Tang Academy are such a group of wusses!

Before you complain of being overshone by others, think for a moment.

Did you kneel down first? Usually,

each and every one of you are so arrogant, why are you so stiff today?

Even Elder Lan Ke thinks highly of Prince Long Qing's debate rhetorics.

Whenever there's a party, there must be good wine.

Today we all come to bid farewell to His Highness Chong Ming.

Gushan county has nothing better to offer, just tens of bottles of our famed wine Jiujiang Shuangzheng.s

Bring the wine.

It's good.

On behalf of Her Highness, I will drink this cup of wine as a toast to Prince Long Qing.

But according to the custom of Gushan county, no matter how much I drink,

Prince Long Qing has to match. Can Prince Long Qing drink or not? Dare or not?

Is it to force him to drink or mess around?

Long Qing is a bigshot on top of the See-through Level.

To have a drinking contest with him, that's just asking for trouble.

Again.

Brother Chong Ming

Again.
