[Imperial College]

[A Female Student Arrives at the Imperial College]

[Episode 6]

I'm going to flick you! On your forehead! On your forehead!

Flick your forehead! Forehead flick!

Forehead flick! Flick your forehead!

I want to...

Miss, we've reached the Grand Commandant Manor.

It's good this way too.

From now on, I'll have someone to rely on at the Imperial College.

Don't worry. I remember everything your brother entrusted to me. After all...

You're one to talk.

Listen, Yan Yunzhi.

The truth about Xiao Bai was revealed.

But that thing you hide from me isn't over yet.

Didn't I just tell you everything already?

It's over now. And let me remind you,

keep the nickname Xiao Bai to yourself.

If you dare say it in front of others, I'll...

You'll what?

At the Imperial College, you do indeed have authority.

But outside the Imperial College, you have no authority.

[Sang]

How dare you pretend to be drunk and trick me?

[Qingfeng Restaurant]

[Shuiyue Shop]

[Restaurant]

A'Qi.

You're here!

Hurry, sit down.

You rarely treat me to a meal.

Are you celebrating that you passed the Lantern Festival without much trouble?

It's not just that.

Yesterday, Lan brought me to Qing Xuan's manor.

I even ran into Vice Principal Yan.

You're already calling her Lan. It seems you two had a great time yesterday.

It's true.

I didn't know there were so many interesting people in Bianjing.

Lord Qing Xuan is handsome and talented.

Yan Sanlang is upright. And don't even mention Lan.

She's a beauty that could only be found in heaven. So beautiful!

Women in Bianjing are different indeed.

You don't take the initiative to meet my friends.

Yet, you've met all of Vice Principal Yan's friends.

I didn't.

They're my elder brother's friends. Of course, I should get to know them.

All right then.

They're all very interesting people.

I don't have that many friends to introduce to you.

Zhuo Wenyuan.

Could you not talk in such an eccentric way? I see you as my good friend.

Why don't you introduce some of your friends to me as well?

Do you still remember Miss Qian Jiu who was with me at the Lantern Festival?

Qian...

Her? She's a cutie as well!

But I was in a hurry. I didn't get to see her clearly.

Talking about beauty,

Miss Qian Jiu is more well-known than Su Jieyu in Bianjing.

If you like, I can arrange for you to meet her.

It will open up your eyes.

Zhuo Wenyuan.

You're pretty close with Miss Qian Jiu, aren't you?

That's not the main point.

The point is, I want to show you

that there are many interesting people around me too.

Who knows, maybe they're more interesting than those around Vice Principal Yan.

All right.

Okay then.

The Imperial College opens tomorrow morning. Let's finish up and leave early.

Okay!

Fill it up. Fill it up.

[Central Mountain]

[Perfumes]

[Zhuo]

[Central Mountain]

"The true face of Mount Lu is lost to my sight, for it is right in this mountain that I reside."

What an interesting name.

Let's go.

Let's go!

I'll go first then.

Young Master Zhuo.

Miss Sang.

Miss Sang spent too much time in the frontier fortress camp.

Sees a girl and calls them a fairy.

So I brought her here to see what the most well-known beauty in Bianjing looks like.

Young Master Zhuo, please stop joking.

I'm just an ordinary lady. I'm not some fairy.

If you're ordinary, then...

You're a heroine.

Young Master Zhuo, Miss Sang.

Please follow me.

Let's go.

Miss Sang Qi?

I was rude.

I smelled an unknown delicate fragrance on Miss Qian Jiu when I came in.

And your lips.

Did you apply rouge? Or are beauties born like this?

How could it be natural?

It's all fake.

Fake?

What do you mean?

It's a woman's secret.

We can't let men know.

Young Master Zhuo, please help yourself. Miss Sang, please follow me.

Help yourself. Help yourself.

If we use perfumes

while taking a bath, the fragrance will disappear quickly.

Instead, I soak the clothing in perfume.

This way the fragrance will last longer and smell more natural.

I created this recipe myself.

It's so fragrant!

It can distinguish you from the others.

And the rouge.

There's a way to apply it.

After applying the rouge,

cover the lips with a veil. Then, apply a layer of face powder.

It'll be more natural and doesn't disappear when eating.

Beauties depend on the atmosphere, it's about body language.

Miss Qian Jiu.

Don't listen to Zhuo Wenyuan's nonsense.

It's true I haven't really seen beautiful ladies in the world.

But I think every lady is beautiful in their own way.

As long as she's kind and pure, I'll praise her.

I'd like to praise you as well then.

Before I've only heard of Miss Sang Qi's name.

Today, now that I've met you, you really are the most extraordinary person in Bianjing.

That's too much.

Is Miss Qian Jiu that guy's concubine?

I'm not worthy or deserving enough to serve Young Master Zhuo.

But I know Young Master Zhuo has a deep attachment to you.

I wonder whether you

have also fallen for him as well.

No, no, you've misunderstood.

Young Master Zhuo and I are brothers.

Merely brothers.

I still have some other perfumes. You may try them out.

Thank you so much.

Miss Sang Qi, I have some new face powder.

I'll go fetch some for you.

Miss Qian Jiu, it's getting late, I should head back.

Zhuo Wenyuan.

Zhuo Wenyuan! Wake up!

Get up. Wake up!

Are you done yet?

All done, I want to go home.

- Let's go then. - Young Master Zhuo.

I just brewed some tea.

Next time.

No, no. You stay here.

I can take the carriage by myself. I don't need company.

- But I... - Young Master.

I'll tell the driver to take Miss Sang Qi home.

Thank you.

Don't worry. Really, it's fine.

All right then. You must be careful.

It's nothing.

All right, you don't have to see me off.

Miss Qian Jiu, thank you for today. Let's meet again next time.

It was my pleasure, Miss Sang Qi.

I'm leaving now.

Who's that? How dare you robbed my carriage?

Young men. A sneaky attack on someone on their way somewhere isn't appropriate is it?

Oh my, such bad tempers. Then this old man will do some exercises tonight.

Let's go!

Hey! Don't go yet!

I only just finished warming up and you've run away.

I haven't had enough fun yet! Come back!

Hold on, Hero.

Elderly Sir, may I have your name?

I'm just a passer-by. I have no first or last name.

Miss, it's dangerous at night. You've got to be careful!

Is this like what they write in the novels?

An immortal descending from the sky?

What time is it now?

Why hasn't A'Qi come back yet?

Several days ago,

there was trouble at the Lantern Festival.

She doesn't even know to be afraid.

And you. Why don't you keep an eye on her?

You should have urged her to come back early.

Master.

It was Young Master Zhuo who asked Miss to go out. It's not proper for me to follow them.

Zhuo Wenyuan?

It's reasonable to say that he knows what to prioritize.

If she's with him,

I can somewhat rest assured.

I certainly know how the Zhou family's son feels.

Master, do you think he's got a chance?

You know my daughter well.

I personally think Zhuo Wenyuan is nice.

But my opinion doesn't matter.

But if he always follows A'Qi's temperament and lets her come home late,

then I need to talk with him.

You can't teach your own child well,

yet you talk about the others' children.

You. You learned all the bad things from A'Qi.

What else can you do? You're only good at talking back! Just wait and see.

When she gets back, I'll definitely scold her properly!

Let her know who has the authority in the Grand Commandant Manor.

That shameless girl!

Miss is back!

Master, Miss was injured.

- Father. - Miss!

- A'Qi. - What's wrong with you, Miss?

- Lian Pian. - What happened to you?

- I'm okay, I'm okay. - Weren't you with Zhuo Wenyuan?

Why didn't he bring you back?

- Summon the physician! - Hurry up!

Bring my wound medicine.

I'm okay. It's just a skin injury.

I always have to worry about you.

I... know I was wrong. I won't let you worry again.

It's rare to hear you admit you were wrong.

It's rare to see you so panicky.

Ever since your brother left, both of us have always been together.

Anyway, don't make me worry about you all the time.

Weren't you with Zhuo Wenyuan?

Why didn't he bring you back?

We did leave together.

But as we were about to leave, he couldn't get away.

He asked someone to send me home. Little did I know I'd be unexpectedly attacked.

Attacked unexpectedly? Did you see their faces?

We have to report this incident

to the Prefecture Court right away.

We need to know whether their target was you.

Lian Pian. Help her to her room.

All right.

Miss, be careful.

- Report to the Prefecture Court. - Yes, Sir.

Miss.

You really should listen to Master more.

He always cares about you.

Before you came back,

he swore up and down that he'd teach you a lesson.

But when you got back and he saw you injured,

immediately went soft with his words.

Master has never been soft with anyone in his life,

except with you, his daughter.

He gives you everything you want.

Could it have been...

been her?

Who?

Miss, what are you thinking about?

I'm...

I'm thinking about a lady.

A lady?

Master.

Have you reported it to the Prefecture Court?

They've organized a special investigation already.

They'll definitely get justice for you, Master.

We can't just rely on them.

Pass down the order.

I don't believe that our Sang family's soldiers

can't catch this villian!

[Grand Commandant Manor]

[Great Momentum]

Miss, you're awake?

What time is it now?

The hour to get to school has already passed.

Don't worry. Master ordered someone to apply for a leave from the Imperial College.

Said that you were home healing from an injury.

It's just a skin injury and he asked for leave?! That doesn't look good!

Look at your leg.

I know you want to study hard.

But there's no need to rush.

All right then.

Miss, the son of the Yan family has come to visit you.

Master Sang!

I'm here to visit you, Master Sang!

Hey, why are you here?

Aren't you supposed to be in class at Imperial College right now?

You are quite a cheeky girl!

The news about Master Sang getting attacked has already spread all over the Imperial College.

Master Sang has been injured. How could I still sit there and study?

Hurry up, let me in to see.

Go away. You're a man.

How can you barge into our lady's room?

Anyway, the Miss only has a skin injury.

She's fine.

She's currently resting, so don't bother her.

But I brought something for her.

- You don't... - I'll give it to her for you.

You may leave.

Remember to give it to her!

Wait, no. Why did I just leave?

It's the fool Yan Xiaolang.

He even wanted to barge in.

No manners at all.

But I sent him off.

Miss, relax and get some rest.

Yan Xiaolang is a Young Master of the Grand Preceptor.

But you called him a fool?

Incredible. What a good pair.

Him?

I'm not worthy of him.

I'm thinking your wound doesn't hurt anymore, you even have the ability to tease me.

My wound healed a long time ago!

I could get down and run right now!

It's totally fine.

Vice Principal Yan is here.

It's Vice Principal Yan.

- Yan... Yan Yunzhi? - Yes.

He's here...

If he's here it can't be anything good.

Let's go. I want to wash up.

Vice Principal Yan.

What evil wind blew you in this direction?

Your leg is injured. It won't affect your ability to read exercises, right?

I just knew you were going to do this.

I heard about you being attacked unexpectedly.

The Prefecture Court is already investigating it.

When you're almost recovered, Yan Sanlang is going to come to ask you a few questions.

The injury is nothing.

The big deal is the person I want to ask around about.

The only reason I survived was because of that skilled expert who saved me.

An expert?

He descended from the sky.

He moved like the wind and made quick, aggressive attacks.

He completely defeated those evil men!

Those moves...

They were so quick that...

Stop acting it out. Just sit.

- Then... - I don't want to hear it.

The evil men were kicked so far away.

Vice Principal, you're...

I'm afraid the weapon is poisonous. Don't overthink it.

You're a stubborn student that teachers don't like,

mischievous and a troublemaker.

You have no academic achievements

and you disappoint Brother Yu's expectations.

However...

Luckily you dodged it quickly.

This evil man really wanted to kill you. So brutal.

The weapon was sharp as well.

Where did you go last night?

I told Zhuo Wenyuan that I wanted to meet Miss Qian Jiu.

After leaving her courtyard...

Qian Jiu?

Courtyard? What courtyard?

It's called "Central Mountain" or something—

It's similar to Qing Xuan's.

Well, Vice Principal, who do you think I've encountered?

Why did they ambush me?

First you were poisoned,

now you've been ambushed.

Can't you just leave it alone? Don't investigate these things.

If you were to focus on studying would these things happen?

Vice Principal, you are being overly suspicious. (T/N: lit. idiom is see a bow reflected as a snake)

If we just sit back and do nothing when these things happen,

what if they attack the innocent next time?

I have my suspicions that their targets are Zhuo Wenyuan and Miss Qian Jiu.

You're even in the mood to worry about others?

By the way, Vice Principal. Have you ever seen this pattern?

Team Credit: Timing and Subtitles brought to you by ♚ Imperial College Students ♚ @ Viki.com

Where did you see this pattern?

On the shoulder of that evil man.

And...

Where else?

Why do you hesitate?!

I'm afraid I didn't see it clearly.

And...

on the back of Miss Qian Jiu's neck.

I see.

- You don't have to worry about this. I'll investigate it. - Okay.

But rest assured, Vice Principal.

Zhuo Wenyuan would never hurt me.

I'm afraid that he'll get dragged into unknown trouble.

I already said it, don't worry about others.

Zhuo Wenyuan is also my student.

I'll investigate this incident.

Okay.

Anyway, why did you go to that entertainer's courtyard so late at night?

Lust, everyone has it!

I went to see a beauty lady. Plus I also learned a lot.

What did you learn? Apart from getting injured, what else did you learn?

Let me tell you.

I think every lady is beautiful in her own way.

For instance, Sister Su.

Her beauty is the kind of being brilliant and knowledgeable.

Whereas Miss Qian Jiu

is elegant and gorgeous, all kinds of beautiful.

And Song Jiayin.

Although we don't get along well,

and I think there's something wrong with her,

but she's arrogant yet lovely and energetic.

It's her way of being beautiful.

A different kind of beauty.

They're all different.

You don't always have to notice others' beauty.

Take a look at yourself too.

Lively and spontaneous. Free and easy.

You're also one of a kind.

A one-of-a-kind troublemaker, the most troublesome student I've ever met.

Give me back my leg.

Give it back.

Thank you for praising me. I'm not worthy of it.

If there's nothing else, I'm going back to lie down.

- Let's go. - Hold on.

Did you forget something?

Bring along your exercises and medicine.

Let's go, Miss.

[Grand Commandant Manor]

Young Master.

Bai Shi, follow Sang Qi to and from school starting today. Ensure her safety.

I... Yes, Young Master.

Miss, Young Master Zhuo is here.

Someone came to visit you just now?

The Vice Principal.

He gave me so many good gifts. Told me to not forget to study, despite being injured.

Who exactly dared to lay a hand on you?

If he's caught, I definitely won't let him off!

All right. I don't know how many times I've heard that line already.

If you want to get revenge for me, you'll have to line up after my father.

He's been swearing so much these two days. I bet he's still...

Oh right, did you run into any danger last night? Are both you and Miss Qian Jiu alright?

We're fine.

It's all my fault. If I brought you back, I wouldn't have let you get injured.

I'll take you to and from school every day from now on to ensure your safety.

You don't have to! That evil man is highly skilled.

If you're with me, you'll only be able to sacrifice yourself too. There's no need.

A'Qi, in your opinion am I just some embroidered pillow? (T/N: weak, fluffy, soft)

Forget it. Don't pretend in front of me. We fought before when we were young. What do you think?

Don't worry. I'll be back at the Imperial College tomorrow. As usual. Rest assured.

Okay then. Let me know if you need any help. I'll help you with all of it.

Okay.

[Unique symbol of Xizhao]

The carved pattern Sang Qi saw is a unique symbol that the Xizhao Group uses to identify their members.

Whoever has this pattern is either a traitor

or a trader of the black market. Or lastly, it could be a killer.

In short, they're all stateless. It's hard to investigate.

A few years ago, the imperial court once ordered an arrest of Xizhao members.

After several rounds of arrests, Xizhao has lost a lot of its strength.

Although the main members have been arrested, the leader is still nowhere to find.

No one knows the leader's identity either.

It seems the arrests by the court weren't thorough enough.

They're finally making their comeback.

Oh, right. Sanlang.

Don't rush to investigate Qian Jiu first.

She has been at Qingfeng Restaurant for a long time. There are a lot of people there.

I'm afraid if something goes wrong, Sang Qi will be in danger again.

Understood. I'll report to His Majesty another day. I'll inform Grand Commandant Sang as well.

Young Master Qi, you must be careful. We should learn from past lessons on this one.

I don't want the Sang family to encounter any more trouble.

But no matter how well-prepared I am, they always seize every opportunity.

If Sang Qi had the ability to protect herself...

It'd be great if someone with better martial arts skills than me was willing to teach Sang Qi.

Better than you? I'd think it's hard to find someone in Bianjing who's able to compete with you.

Then let's go outside of the city and search. As long as we can avoid danger.

[Grand Commandant Manor]

Master Sang!

Walk slowly. Let me take that.

- Thank you. - Master Sang. Why don't you rest for a few more days instead of coming back today?

Why should I rest more? To make those who ambushed me feel honored?

That's why I said not to show off.

You may end up targeted by evil people.

When it comes to arrogance, no one can compare to your Song family, right?

Exactly.

Sang Qi, you should've looked for me to tell your fortune the other day. I knew you'd encounter a fatal disaster.

When has your turtle shell ever divined anything good?

Sang Qi, hurry, tell us all! How did you make it through that night?

Right, right!

Do you want to listen to the whole story?

Yes.

Move over!

It was a dark and windy night. I was asleep in the carriage.

The evil man suddenly appeared out of nowhere from the bamboo grove.

He killed the driver with just one slash!

And then?

Could I stand such an immoral ambush? Of course not!

I immediately jumped out of the carriage and fought with him.

I had only one belief at that moment.

Justice will overcome evil.

- Wow. - Amazing.

- Incredible. - Amazing.

- Vice Principal. - Let's go.

I'm not done telling the story yet!

Which part did you stop at? Class has already started and you're still storytelling. Have you finished memorizing the text?

Vice Principal.

Sang Q, don't mention that night's incident to others again.

Got it.

Hurry up. Go on.

Acquiring knowledge lies in studying.

Studying is the foundation for acquiring knowledge.

With knowledge, one will be sincere.

After sincerity comes uprightness.

Uprightness will lead to self-cultivation.

Once self-cultivated, the family is unified.

Once the family is unified, the country becomes unified.

Once the country becomes unified, the world becomes peaceful.

Whether the emperor or a common person,

one is all based in self-cultivation.

If this is fundamentally disrupted, all of these aren't going to happen.

Father, you're finally back.

Well, you. You always get into trouble.

I just found out that your ambush might have been by the Xizhao.

If you're their target, your life will be hard to protect.

If something were to happen to you, I'd rather die.

Father, don't say that.

Xizhao?

When I was at the frontier fortress before, I did hear of it before.

But now the country is peaceful and prosperous.

Would those from Xizhao still commit such crimes?

All of you, listen up. It's the second time our young lady was injured.

From today on, a curfew is imposed on her.

Not a single one of you can condone her behavior!

- Yes, Sir. - Yes.

Father.

Father, you... I'm able to jump. I'm able to run.

I can do anything except fly. Please don't put a curfew on me.

I need to... I need to go out.

- Father. - Especially you, Lian Pian.

- I... - If you let her out again,

- I'll send you back home. - Father.

Miss, I don't want to go back home.

He's scaring you.

All right, all right. I won't go outside.

Miss. Let's go back and rest, okay?

I'm not allowed to go outside.

He's going too far. He knows I like going out.

He's just afraid I'll be ambushed. What's the big deal?

He's doing it for your own good.

Master is getting older. He doesn't cares for much else.

The only thing he cares about, is you.

Lian Pian. If I can find that old man and learn martial arts from him, then I won't be afraid of getting ambushed again.

I'll beat up every single one that comes!

Then father doesn't have to worry about me. Right?

Lian Pian.

Don't even think about it!

Lian Pian...

No way. Don't even think about going anywhere.

I promised Master. I don't want to go back home.

He was just scaring you.

No. I'm not going anywhere. I'm just going to keep watching you like this.

Well, look at me then.

Miss, don't rush.

Be careful.

I'm leaving.

Careful.

It was all in one ear and out the other. Like wind blowing through.

Expert. Please let me be your disciple.

Vice Principal?

Vice Principal, why are you here?

What's wrong with me?

This...

How come it's you?

Why can't it be me?

It's a wild mountainous country, what are you doing here?

I should be asking you that.

Your injury wasn't severe enough? You want it to be more severe?

Look at what you're saying.

I'm here to learn martial arts from a master.

I didn't find an expert, instead asked to be your disciple.

I'm your Vice Principal. What's wrong with accepting you as a disciple?

It's so late. You should head back.

Listen, don't think about this again.

There's no one living on this mountain.

The expert you mentioned might have been a passer-by, that's all.

Vice Principal. Since you seem to be in the know, why don't you tell me the way?

Go back home.

I was careless.

Master.
