[Ever Night]

[Episode 23]

When we came, we shocked the entire capital.

Everyone including slaves crowded the streets to welcome us.

When we left, it's like we became homeless dogs.

This is true humiliation.

Do you know why I wanted to live in Peach Blossom Alley?

Peach blossoms represent humiliation.

Twenty years ago, Fu Zi charged into Xiling and climbed the Peach Mountains.

In one night, he slayed every single peach blossom on the entire mountain.

Yet, no one dared to step forth and stop him.

That is the biggest humiliation to Xiling.

This time, I lowered my status to enter the Two-Story Building

to better understand our enemy.

If you know your enemy as yourself, there is no battle you can't win.

Before heading out, the Shrine Leader and the grand priests

asked me to climb the mountain with your highness.

With the current results, I

have failed my mission.

Priest Cheng, don't think too much on it.

You also saw

how this country has no light nor faith.

The people on the rear mountain of the academy are all farmers and hoodlums.

How can they compare to our great bright Xiling.

How could they compare to the thousands of years of information stored at our Peach Mountains?

The Heavenly God's shrine

even if I can't pass the exam to enter the academy,

I will still defeat them in the future.

I only wish Ning Que will quickly become powerful.

Then I will have a chance to redeem this humiliation.

Heir Apparent Chong Ming has left early to return to the Yan State.

Your Highness, are you also going to return to the Yan State first?

Do I return to play an act in vying for the throne?

Ning Que became the Thirteenth Scholar of the academy.

He can never enter our South Faction.

Don't just think he's your disciple!

Once you die, the Heavenly Dao's South Faction will not have

our own Divine Talisman Expert anymore!

Once I die too

then there's no one left who can hold up the Heavenly Dao's South Faction.

I don't think it's that terrible.

Because Ning Que is my disciple,

in the future he can become the Grand Divine Talisman Expert.

He can't completely get away from the matters of the South Faction.

Besides,

I'm not anywhere near the end of my life.

I've still so much life and energy!

I'm not old and grouchy like you.

Don't overthink it, you'll get old faster!

Senior Brother, do you really not know the difference between these?

Ning Que, if he could enter the South Faction,

I will eventually pass on the South Faction Monastery Leader position to him.

He then will be the State Preceptor of the Tang Empire.

Then in the future, the Heavenly Dao's South Faction

won't be weak even if we want to be.

However, if he doesn't enter the South Faction,

then he can only become an honored guest. What use does an honored guest have?

Southern Jin's Liu Bai is an honored guest of Xiling.

Did you ever see Liu Bai risk his life for Xiling?

Junior Brother, things have already come to this.

You must accept this truth.

This...

I still have important things to do. You do your things.

Wait no, I will do my things.

This city, I really don't like it.

Someday,

I will destroy it with my own hands.

Excuse me, excuse me.

Fresh vegetables!

Sorry, excuse me.

Come see different lanterns!

[ Franic ]

Mister, thank you for your business.

Show me your most famous product.

This is our most famous product, rose buds toner.

How much is this?

-Fifty taels -Fifty taels?

Fifty taels.

Thank you, guest.

Here's a free gift.

Thank you.

Take care.

- I also want this, do you have more?

Okay, okay, okay, don't worry, don't worry.

- Take care. - Rose buds toner.

I will also get one.

- I also want one. - Here, take a look.

That way.

Why are you after me?

Stop yapping. Someone wants your life.

Nasty guy.

What are you getting at?

I can't stand to see someone treating you disrepectfully.

He's now the 13th disciple of the Academy.

He's no longer an insignificant soldier like before.

A scoundrel achieves his ambition.

Watch your words, beware of eavesdroppers!

He's now a personal disciple of Fu Zi,

and a pupil of Great Teacher Yan Se.

And His Majesty thinks highly of him.

Later he won't pay any attention or care to show respect to His Majesty.

Shut up.

I surely hope that he can become a man of great ability.

Then I'll use him as I see fit.

That's because I already know what is crucial to him.

I'll take my leave.

Stop there. What are you doing?

Have you seen Mr. 13 from the Academy? My Young Master is about this tall.

No, no, we didn't. Beat it.

Have you see my Young Master?

We haven't seen him.

Hey, you can't go in.

[ Princess' Manor ]

What? Ning Que is missing?

Could it be a mistake?

The palace bodyguards said Young Master left at nightfall.

I've gone to the Academy, the South Gate and even Red Sleeve Invite.

I couldn't find him anywhere. From since we were young,

he has never done anything like this.

Young Master. Young Master must have encountered some danger.

I beg you, Princess, Your Highness, please help me think of something.

-Hua Shanyue. -Here.

Closed all the city gates at once, we have to find that person.

Yes, Your Highness.

Your hands are so cold.

Don't be too upset. I'll go to the palace and report this to Imperial Father right away.

Go on home and wait for news from me.

Thank you, Princess. Sang Sang will go outside again and keep looking.

Change my clothes.

Pass.

Go on.

Commander Xu!

General Lin, is there any news on Ning Que?

Not yet. We're still checking.

Where did this brat go?

Have you gone to the Red Sleeve Invite?

We've gone twice already and there's no sign of him.

Oh. Don't force yourselves too much.

If you can't find him, then don't look anymore.

Let's go!

-Go, go. -Wait. Go on.

Come take a look, recipes handed down from ancestors, recipes handed down from ancestors.

Come take a look, recipes handed down from ancestors.

- Take care! - Let's go!

This area has Young Master's smell.

Young Master carries the unique smell of the ink sold at the Old Writing Brush Shop.

He's been here. He's stopped right here.

Perfume? I've always wanted this,

but I didn't want to spend the money. Young Master!

This is the perfume that I've wanted. It's probably what Young Master bought for me.

That was Ning Que's last gasp right before his disappearance.

Those bastards...they dare to kidnap my disciple!

Great Teacher Yan Se. Let's hurry and look for him.

Let's go.

Senior Brother.

His Majesty sent people to inquire. Has he been found yet?

That guy used a divine instrument to hide all of Ning Que's traces.

Then we won't be able to find them. Let's first look for that horse carriage!

Let's go.

Teacher, do we have to inform the Academy's Rear Mountain?

Do you think that no one in the Academy knows he's missing?

Actually, they've known early on.

It's just that I don't know why

that they haven't made a move even as of now.

Third Senior Sister! Third Senior Sister!

Third Senior Sister.

I just need one word from you - to let me go down the mountain.

I can shatter that bell with my fingertip.

I know you're very worried over Ning Que.

Second Senior Brother and all of us are also worried.

Then why haven't you all done anything?

Fu Zi sent a talisman message a thousand miles last night.

No disciples in the Academy Rear Mountain is allowed to go down the mountain

or they'll suffer the consequences.

Third Senior Sister, so it was Fu Zi

who wouldn't permit us to go down the mountain. Could it be that Fu Zi doesn't want Little Junior Brother?

He wants to go back on his word?

Fu Zi has his reasons.

They want to stop all the scholars of the academy with a simple bell.

Eventually, the person behind this

will certainly regret it.

Will certainly regret it.

Third Senior Sister, wait for me.

Imperial Father, Yu Er has an urgent matter to report. The Academy's Mr. 13,

Ning Que is in grave danger right now.

Are you really not going to do anything about this?

If he's the Thirteenth Scholar of the Tang Empire

then he has the ability to resolve these problems.

Otherwise, Fu Zi wouldn't ask such a useless person to be his disciple.

-But what if Ning Que dies . . . - He won't die that easily.

Let me out of here! Who are you?

Why did you bring me here? Where is this place?

Pitiful child. You don't even know the reason.

Just who are you?!

I'm just a nameless person of junior rank.

It's only because I followed the Light.

I attained a formal title for the sake of the Light.

As expected, Teacher's prophecy from that year was correct.

Let me out of here, you lunatic!

Subordinate Lin Ling presents a report to the Great General.

The investigation into the death of Yan Suqing and the others has shown some results.

The name of the suspected murderer is Ning Que.

He is a disciple of the Academy.

I (lit subordinate) suspect that he was the one who got away

from General Lin Guangyuan's mansion in the year of Tian Qi Yuan.

Or perhaps

he is the General's son.

Continue to investigate. If necessary,

destroy all future troubles regardless of the cost.

[Grand Prince Residence]

Except for the three who died,

no one knows who else was involved in the case.

The General's son is dead.

Wei Guangming is imprisoned in the Serene Pavilion by the Shrine Leader.

This will be an everlasting secret.

Lin Ling. Return immediately and pass this message to the Great General Xia Hou.

Do not let him be paranoid all the time.

Yes, sir.

But, isn't Your Royal Highness worried that

there might be others who got away from the Lin Mansion.

Impossible. Those whom we sent out

had not been successful.

But Ning Que just disappeared into the thin air.

Could it be possible that this is an indication of some sort?

Could he really be ..

You shouldn't even have existed in this world.

Since the heavens allowed you to live, then there's only one reason.

This proves the existence of the great ability and wisdom of our Great Priest of Light.

And return to the Light Palace Hall the majesty that belonged to it in the first place.

Stop. Repent and be saved (lit turn and see the shore).

I can't stop. I have to go home. Sang Sang is waiting for me.

The bitterness of those in the world has no bounds, just like the yellow sand around you.

Why wouldn't you listen to advice?

You can try to persuade me, but I've got to go home.I told you that Sang Sang is waiting for me.

Young Master!

Sang Sang is waiting for me.

Young Master.

Don't be anxious. Take it easy. Follow me.

Young Master.

Young Master!

Wait.

Let my disciple go!

Teacher Yan Se.

You really shouldn't interfere.

Young Master!

The person whom you are following is too extreme.

He was already wrong that year. Why does he want to continue making mistakes?

He could have become the greatest Great Priest of Light of Xiling.

But he was unable to let go of his obsession till it was too late.

The Great Priest was not wrong.

He's the Son of Hades.

He's the Academy's Mr. 13! He's my disciple!

You . . .

..release him. On account that you have followed him for so many years,

I'll let you live.

For the sake of the Correct Path, I have no fear of life and death.

Wei Guangming and I have no grudges against each other. You cannot kill my disciple.

Heroic Wei Guangming.

He must die today!

You actually harbor the determination to die and liberated all the Light.[All the Light vs Well Sign Talisman]

- What happened?- I didn't touch him.

Mr. Two. The Academy is here.

Young Master.

Young Master.

Young Master, are you okay?

The Son of Hades

is here in the capital.

Young Master.

Young Master.

Great Teacher Yan Se.

You're over here.

In order to formally become a disciple to a master, the disciple is required to go through the kneeling ceremony.

What? You want to back out?

There's just one thing I don't understand.

Speak.

That Wu Ming from Xiling-

The relationship between Xiling and Tang Empire has always been like this.

On the surface, they are harmonious and on good terms with each other. But secretly they are fighting like irreconcilble adversaries (lit you die, I live).

Furthermore, you have destroyed such a great idea of Long Qing.

Long Qing. A prince famed to be Wei Guangming's successor

lost to a brat like you.

The entire Xiling was humiliated because of you. You still can't allow other people to vent their anger.

-It's just that . . . -Just what?

-It's that simple? -Does it have to be complicated?

Why are you still standing there absent-mindedly?

Teacher, please accept a bow from your disciple.

Good child.

Your Teacher wants to give you a big red envelope.

Thank you, Teacher.

Break it open after you get home.

There's one more thing I need to make clear.

I've already made an agreement with the Academy.

On even number days, you are to learn at the Academy.

On odd number days, you'll come here to learn the talisman magic.

And...

look what it is.

I wrote it.

It's not right!

Someone copied it!

I knew I found the right person!

Okay, good.

Unless your brain was flattened and you couldn't hold a pen,

otherwise, you're definitely my disciple.

From now on, study the art of talisman with me.

Teacher, what is the art of talisman?

The art of talisman? It looks as if it's changing all the time.

but actually it's just a single brushstroke.

The simpler it is, the easier people will grasp.

All those vicissitudes one has gone through in one's life.

Those were no more than just a couple of brushstrokes.

You will understand later on.

I don't have to wait later on,

I want to learn it right now.

That's all for today.

Even days. I can't break the rules.

Leave.

Teacher, why do I feel like I'm not your disciple?

What's that?

Sister Shuizhu'er at Red Sleeve Invite

meets her customers

according to the schedule of odd and even days.

Think what you want, after all you're already mine. Go, go, just leave.

Come back tomorrow.

I, Disciple Ning Que, take my leave.

Brat, so talkative!

And so impatient.

Secretly opens it as soon as he leaves.

And he thinks I don't know about it.

The copper coin is round. So it rolls away easily.

The copper coin is round. So it rolls away easily.

Money is an evil spirit, worse than the demon.

Peace and joy are more precious than gold. Peace and happiness are the most valuable ( tn from the writing of the great Yuan poet Guan Hanqing).

Those within the same family are likely to share common traits in the ways they think and in the ways they do things (lit if a bride is not meant to marry into a family, fate would not bring her in the door).

Your Majesty, the secret bodyguard found out that

on that day, besides the cultivators,

There were two groups of soldiers in pursuit of Mr Thirteen.

One group was from General Xia Hou. The other was from the Grand Prince.

Those two people haven't seen each other for fifteen years.

Now they are gathering together.

Wei Guangming has escaped from the Serene Pavilion.

Mr. Thirteen has given me too many surprises.

Your Majesty, I'll send more people to protect Mr. Thirteen.

That's not necessary.

Now that he's entered the rear mountain, and he's Yan Se's disciple,

Naturally there will be someone covering for him.

It's just that this brother of mine

Even though he has left the military, unexpectedly he still has residual power.

I'm just too softhearted!

- Chongshan.- Your Majesty.

You have to personally make the arrangement for those people who are around the Grand Prince.

And he should also become

a free and unfettered prince.

I understand. I will do so immediately.

Then, as for General Xiao Hou...

Release him out of the Capital City.

And also send a message to his master.

Yes.
