[The Blood of Youth]

[Episode 10]

Come forth!

What's wrong with my Tingyu Sword?

You...

I knew you were a wo...

woman.

But that doesn't do you justice.

You're like a fairy.

I will return three months later

for another challenge.

(Her voice is soothing too.)

From now on,

I'll call you Peach Blossom.

(And after that,)

(Zhao Yuzhen)

(waited by the peach blossom tree)

(for three months.)

(From winter to spring,)

(until the peach blossom blooms again.)

(No need to use the Fire Formation Secret Arts)

(and he could have big, plump,)

(sweet peaches soon.)

(However...)

[Peach Blossom]

(The one who promised)

(she would return after three months)

(did not come at all.)

Master said

all beautiful people lie.

It seems like it's true.

I guess waiting for peaches is more realistic.

Hey, dummy.

Waiting for peaches?

You're late.

I went to search for this sword,

so I was late for seven days.

Oh, Iron Glacier

from the Records of Famous Swords.

A fine sword you have there.

Oh, my dear fairy.

Why are you wearing a mask again?

It doesn't look good on you.

Taking it off

is better.

Talkative.

Zhao Yuzhen.

What is that technique?

The secret technique of Mount Wangcheng,

Supreme Dragon Elephant Skill.

Why don't you use your sword?

Supreme Dragon Elephant Skill

is the strongest technique of Mount Wangcheng.

It is as good as, if not better than, the Infinite Sword Technique.

I don't care.

Unsheathe your sword now.

Only if you take off

your mask.

You...

Satisfied?

Now, draw your sword.

Peach Blossom.

Creation and destruction

are all a tribulation.

And before the coming of life,

infinite tribulations have taken place.

♪Deep inside the clouds♪

♪I hear the whispering of your zither music♪

Zhao Yuzhen.

What is that sword technique?

Infinite Sword for infinite tribulations.

Those who are caught in it

will suffer

for an eternity.

Sure.

Just as the infinity in its name suggests.

I too have my technique.

♪The candlelight flickers as you dance among the flower petals♪

♪Let the snow fills the sky♪

♪Eating away at the time♪

Beautiful Day!

♪Alas, one thought is all it takes to reunite♪

♪One thought is all it takes to part♪

♪I can't endure this life of tribulations♪

How beautiful.

♪The beautiful seasons♪

Charge!

Sure.

Here I come.

♪Are just our fates intertwined♪

♪A romance and an obsession♪

♪Tears can't move my thoughts away from whatever they are so focused on♪

♪Deep love doesn't last long♪

♪Who to say goodbye to?♪

♪A lifetime of longing for the love of half a lifetime♪

♪The season will never grow old, and this love will last forever♪

♪When all at once I turn my head♪

♪I find you there where lantern light is dimly shed♪

♪A romance and an obsession♪

♪Tears can't move my thoughts away from whatever they are so focused on♪

♪Deep love doesn't last long♪

♪Who to say goodbye to?♪

♪A lifetime of longing for the love of half a lifetime♪

♪The season will never grow old, and this love will last forever♪

♪When all at once I turn my head♪

-You... -You...

Go ahead.

Little fairy.

You are beautiful,

so why do you hide your face

under a mask?

You are strong,

so why don't you leave the mountain and have an adventure?

My master told me

that if I leave the mountain,

many people will die.

When I come here the third time,

you will come with me

and leave the mountain.

I...

I have to get my martial uncle's permission.

How strong is your martial uncle?

Stronger than me.

But it might not be the case

after a year.

Then I will be back here after one year.

If he won't let you go,

I'll fight him until he does.

We protected him for 16 years,

but he still can't escape the mortal pursuits.

[Lyu Suzhen, Mount Wangcheng] [Yin Changsong, Mount Wangcheng]

Master told me all that.

And then,

he passed out.

After that,

my second master also visited

Mount Wangcheng.

Just right after your martial uncle,

Lei Yunhe, visited it.

I don't know about the details,

but if you want to know,

you can ask Second Master.

I don't dare to.

Oh, right.

I'm in Xueyue City

for a while now,

but why haven't I met

the Principal City Lord,

Baili Dongjun?

You have.

Have I?

When?

Not only have you met him,

but you've also had Beauty of Four Seasons liquor

(that he made too.)

That's him?

I have to thank him

when I see him next time.

Come on.

Drink.

Oh.

I have another question.

Why can't Zhao Yuzhen

leave the mountain?

There are many rumors

about Zhao Yuzhen.

When he was born,

a ray of sun shone into the room.

The Senior Celestial Master of Mount Wangcheng

came to receive him in person

because Zhao Yuzhen is the reincarnation of a deity.

He then brought Zhao Yuzhen back to Mount Wangcheng.

Zhao Yuzhen stayed there since then.

They say Zhao Yuzhen

can't leave the mountain

because of a prophecy

by the Senior Celestial Master, Lyu Suzhen.

Apparently, if he leaves the mountain,

it will bring unrest.

It might even become a threat to a certain someone

in Tianqi City.

Therefore, 5,000 Iron Troops are stationed

30 li away from Mount Wangcheng.

Just in case Zhao Yuzhen leaves the mountain.

Some also say

that Zhao Yuzhen

contains the fate

of Mount Wangcheng.

But the prophecy

is most likely fictional.

They're just worried that he won't come back.

So with his power,

no one can stop him

as long as he wants to leave?

For a decade, he hardly leaves

his courtyard,

let alone the mountain.

I think he's waiting for someone.

If that person doesn't show up,

I think he'll keep waiting.

Something's on your mind.

I was born to the Tang Clan.

I am a disciple

of Tang Lianyue, an elder of the Tang Clan.

I thought I would live and die

for the Tang Clan,

but I was sent to Xueyue City out of a sudden.

And now, I'm a disciple

of the Liquor Deity, Baili Dongjun.

Master Lianyue told me

to wait for someone here.

And I have waited for six years.

The Tang Clan always does this.

All of you were born

with countless duties and responsibilities.

So you lead a life of burdens.

You have to meddle in Xueyue City's affairs

while performing the duty your clan gave you.

People try to live

every day too,

but they live

for themselves.

They don't have that many other things to worry about.

Are you sure you're here in Xueyue City

for money alone?

Money

is important.

Eight hundred taels.

It sure is important then.

You're wrong.

It's eight million taels.

If you had that much money,

what would you do?

Assemble an army

and raze Tianqi City to the ground.

I'll join you.

Why?

You came to Xueyue City with me.

So I'll go to Tianqi City with you.

Sure.

You're not

the person I'm waiting for?

Why is a man

waiting for another man?

Don't speak to your senior like that.

I will beat you up.

You're just taking advantage

of my lack of martial skills.

Do you want a fair fight with something else?

Sure.

Try me.

You're a disciple of Liquor Deity.

So let's compete with our alcohol tolerance.

Sure.

I'll get some liquor here.

Come on.

[Mount Wangcheng]

Mount Wangcheng.

The elders are discussing

if they should expel you.

Let them be.

I must practice my sword skill

and become a sword deity.

Hong, I know you are headstrong

and I'm not here to persuade you.

But tell me,

why are you doing this?

Because I saw it

on Mount Wangcheng.

What is that?

No sword aura

can be this powerful.

Miss.

You

did that?

Yes. So?

Nothing.

No.

It's not nothing.

You... You...

Miss.

I'm Lei Hong.

The beauty of that slash.

Mount Wangcheng?

[Mount Wangcheng] Who's there?

How dare you venture into Mount Wangcheng?

I'm Lei Yunhe

from Jiangnan Thunderbolt Sect.

I'm here to scale the mountain.

Zhao Yuzhen.

Come out now.

In your dreams!

Thunderclap Finger.

Purge!

My friend saw your technique

and he said the sword is the most beautiful

of all martial arts.

I'd like to see if it's true.

Zhao Yuzhen.

I am here again.

I am Lei Yunhe

from Jiangnan Thunderbolt Sect. I'm here to scale the mountain.

The spring moon illuminates the courtyard.

The silver light waltzes on the cup of wine.

As I traverse the corridor,

a waft of the half-fallen plum blossom enters my nose.

Under the misty moon

is where the youngsters entertain themselves.

Unlike the autumn moon

that guides lost souls.

This is the last pot.

You won, Lian.

Come on, Lian.

Lian?

Lian?

Wow.

He passed out while seated.

Oh, I forgot to inquire about the lady in green.

Someone sneaked into Xueyue City at night.

That's where Master is training!

Who are you?

I should ask you that question.

I can tell you my name,

but do you have the guts to hear it?

My master is training in solitude.

No one is to disturb her.

Please return after a few days

if you want to see her.

After two days,

I won't stop you if you come here.

So you are a disciple of Li Hanyi.

She has a disciple now?

What is your name?

Lei Wujie.

Okay.

Move aside now.

I have to see Li Hanyi.

Don't waste my time.

I just said

she is busy training now.

I may not be strong,

but I can't let you

enter like this either.

Ridiculous.

You can't stop me.

Fire Infusion from the Lei Clan.

And Wushuang Fist.

Not bad.

Who are you?

Why did you enter Xueyue City at night?

Do you know this sword?

It's a broken sword.

Li Hanyi

broke my sword.

Its name is Severance.

One slash to sever the water

and a thousand rivers change their course.

You're the City Lord of Wushuang City, Song Yanhui.

[Song Yanhui, Wushuang City]

Is Wushuang City invading

Xueyue City now?

What are you on about, brat?

I'm here to test my sword with your master.

I don't have time for you.

Move aside.

City Lord Song, if you want to enter,

you'll have to fight me.

You're not worth

my time.

Let go of me.

Like I said,

as long as I still live,

you can't enter.

Tingyu.

Find the reason to draw your sword.

(The reason to draw my sword...)

Sword Art.

I too have my technique.

Sword Art,

Beautiful Day.

Beautiful Day.

A technique by Xueyue Sword Deity, Li Hanyi.

Please enlighten me, City Lord Song.

It is beautiful.

You are now worth my time.

Master.

The Beautiful Day passed down

by a sword deity, you said?

When did I ever teach you

a lousy technique like that?

If this gets out,

it will make me

look very bad.

Master,

I now have a reason to draw my sword.

If that is enough to make you

this elated,

how am I supposed to teach you

even stronger techniques?

He drew his sword to protect someone.

You found yourself a good disciple.

Why does it

always come to this?

I heard you have found a disciple too.

He managed to unlock the Wushuang Sword Box

and is training to command the 13 swords.

My disciple

is far more talented than I am.

Within five years,

he'll become a sword deity.

Sure.

Five years.

Within three years, my disciple

will become a sword deity.

As confident as always.

Song Yanhui,

you sparred with me thrice

and you failed thrice.

Today

will be your final attempt.

After today,

you will stop hoping

that you can surpass me.

Bring it on.

Third City Lord.

Luoxia.

Have you seen what a sword deity is like when he is mad?

They say a sword deity is above emotion.

They don't experience happiness, rage,

sadness, or sorrow.

Other than the Wrathful Sword Deity

who made a name with his imposing aura,

other sword deities

don't get angry easily.

They don't

because if they do,

the world will be sundered.

Hanyi is angry now.

Song Yanhui hurt Lei Wujie?

Lei Wujie managed to unsheathe Tingyu Sword

but for the reason Hanyi

fears the most.

Luoxia.

Song Yanhui and you

have a history

in Canglan River, don't you?

Go save him.

Otherwise,

the City Lord

of Wushuang City

will die in Xueyue City.

Any regrets for dying

under my sword?

None

at all.

You're weighed down by your duty.

If you weren't the City Lord of Wushuang City,

you would have reached a greater height.

Please spare him.

Why?

You already failed thrice.

Why do you have to do this again?

Give up already.

You drew your sword

to protect others.

I hate

to see this,

but I see why.

Because your father is Lei

and your mother is Li.

I'll accept this.

You...

[Luoxia] Why are you in Xueyue City?

Stop moving.

And don't play dumb.

You know very well

I'm in Xueyue City.

Whether you're here or not,

what difference does it make?

Whether you win or not,

what difference does it make?

I have a disciple now.

His vast potential

is second to none.

I'm sure he can restore

Wushuang City to its former glory.

I lost,

but my disciple

won't.

Is restoring Wushuang City's former glory

that important?

Is defeating Xueyue Sword Deity

that important?

What about me?

Am I not important?

Yes.

Sorry.

You deserve a beating.

You...

What?

I just want to hit you.

Rascal.

Do you know who I am?

Why should I care?

You bullied my master.

I swear

with my name

that you will leave this place bruised.

Master.

Once I have him,

I'll castrate him for you.

Come again

and I'll hit you again.

Master, you lost again.

Yeah.

I lost thoroughly.

Li Hanyi and I

are several leagues

apart.

From now on,

I won't spar with her in Xueyue City

anymore.

It's okay.

I'll win on your behalf.

I met someone this time.

His name is Lei Wujie.

I'm Lei Wujie of the Lei family

from Jiangnan Thunderbolt Sect.

Never heard of you.

You will.

It's rare to see

that you actually

remember someone's name.

Because he's unique.

Just like everyone I met

on that day.

I remember their faces.

He is a disciple of Li Hanyi now.

I tested his skills.

He's still

quite inferior to you.

I told Li Hanyi

that you

would become a sword deity within five years.

But she said

Lei Wujie only needs three years.

It seems like she has high expectations

of her disciple.

You can command

ten swords now.

Good.

If Lei Wujie can become a sword deity within three years,

then I'll do it within a year.

Go forth.

Withdraw!

I count on you to bring Wushuang City

back to its prime.

Master.

I don't want to be

the City Lord of Wushuang City.

I just enjoy training with my swords.

But if that's your wish,

I'll do it.

All right.

Come back to Wushuang City with me.

He is Song Yanhui?

I hit the City Lord of Wushuang City?

He is Song Yanhui?

I hit the City Lord of Wushuang City?

My goodness.

Oh no.

Oh no.

What should I do?

Where's your master?

Song Yanhui has left?

Last night, yes.

You still wear that mask

everywhere you go.

It's ugly.

Your beauty

hasn't faded after all these years.

Wearing a mask helps preserve one's beauty now?

That's amusing.

If you care about him,

why don't you return to Wushuang City with him?

I am not his priority.

It doesn't matter if I'm there or not.

Yesterday, I...

How is Lei Wujie?

Is he all right?

He is not gravely wounded.

He just needs a few days' rest.

When do you plan

to tell Lei Wujie

who you are to him?

I don't know how to broach the subject.

When I sent him to the Lei family,

he was just

three years old.

Who knows if he still remembers

that he has an older sister.

Besides, I have been

busy practicing my swordsmanship for years.

I have never visited him once in the Lei family.

I am not

a good sister.

But I'm happy

with the way it is now.

I mean it.

How is the current situation any good?

When I told you

to go to see Zhao Yuzhen,

you said the same thing.

That was different.

The Stillwater Sword I'm learning

requires me to have a still heart.

But he...

How is he feeling?

With the aid of our celestial masters,

he regained consciousness.

But it'll be a while

before he can make a full recovery.

Does that mean

he cannot see

any visitors for the next few days?

Master says

that if someone disturbs him,

he might

go rogue again.

[Mount Wangcheng]

All right then.

Please ask Master Lyu

to tell him

that I was here.

I guess it's good

for both of us.

You're just

like Song Yanhui.

I would hit you

if you weren't stronger than me.

Just unbelievable.

I can finally wield

Tingyu Sword now.

However...

No.

You don't unsheathe it with your strength.

Something feels off.

It's like something is missing.

Xiao Se!

Lian!

How do you know we will be here?

It seems like you have mastered

the First Level of Stillwater Sword.

Unlike someone I know

whose fleeing skill

just keeps improving.

Lian.

Will you

fight me?

Sure.

This sword

was given to me by Xueyue Sword Deity.

Beautiful Day!

That's your Beautiful Day?

Do you have Second Master's approval?

Lian.

Please don't tell my master.

I've been practicing with her

and if I ever make a mistake,

she hits me on my head.

(Wrong.)

Jie.

How many times have I told you?

When you thrust, the sword has to be horizontal.

That wasn't Sancai Sword Technique at all.

Jie.

Stop crying.

I'll buy you tanghulu, (*sugar-coated hawthorn)

all right?

Lei Wujie?

Lei Wujie?

Snap back, dummy.

Sorry.

It's just

that when Master hits me,

it feels quite familiar.

You're indeed a dummy.

It hurt a lot when you were hit.

But now, you reminisce about the moment

when you were hit.

Oh, right.

Where is the Second Master?

She trains with her sword

in the mountain every day.

In the morning,

she'll supervise my training.

But after that, she's gone.

When it's time to eat,

she appears again. On time too.

Do I hear a complaint?

Of course not.

I'm just thinking

that if one day I quit martial arts,

I will leave the mountain and be a chef.

Anyway,

why are you two looking for me?

For

two things.

What is it?

One,

your martial uncle, Lei Yunhe,

visited Mount Wangcheng again.

He made a path with one strike again.

The second strike overturned the Qiankun Hall.

And the third strike

seized Zhao Yuzhen's Qingxiao Sword.

I heard they fought overnight

(and the entire Mount Wangcheng)

(was enveloped)

(by storm and thunder.)

(Other than the Six Saints)

(who stayed to spectate,)

others

left the mountain to avoid the crossfire.

And then, your martial uncle rode his crane and left.

(Zhao Yuzhen also admitted)

(that this time,)

(Lei Yunhe did not lose.)

That's great.

What's the second thing then?

The second thing

is about a person.

Who?

Ye Ruoyi.

Who?

I don't know her.

No.

You know her.

Not only do you know her,

but she also offered your her handkerchief

(to wipe your nosebleed.)

Why did you bring her up?

I didn't ask about her.

Okay.

Bye.

Continue, please.

Continue, please.

Continue, please.

Continue, please.

Ye Ruoyi came to Xueyue City in the same year

as me.

She is the daughter of Ye Xiaoying,

the Defender-General.

Daughter of a general?

Why is she in Xueyue City?

To recuperate.

No one knows what sickness she has.

The Third Master is a masterful healer,

but her condition hasn't improved

after many years.

The experts from the Directorate of Astronomy

have offered their service too,

but to no avail.

It must be

something complicated.

Don't dwell on it.

Tell me.

Do you want to befriend her?

Befriend?

The annual Flora Spectacle of Xueyue City

will take place in three days.

All disciples

will attend it.

Including

the reclusive Ye Ruoyi.

Do you want to be there?

Flora Spectacle...

Will my master be there?

Do not

tell her about it.

Third Master said

anyone can come.

But not Li Hanyi.

Why?

Perhaps because

once she swings her sword...

Go!

All flowers from the Flora Spectacle

will be destroyed.

What do we do

during the spectacle?

Do we fight?

The Flora Spectacle is not about violence

but elegance.

Most participants

are from the younger generation.

They recite poems and drink.

It's one of our annual

grand events.

I can drink.

But reciting poems?

I can't do that.

Besides, we are martial artists.

Reciting poems

feels too...

pretentious to me.

Why?

In Yushi when Wuxin

taught you the fist technique,

he recited a poem too.

Was he being pretentious then?

Right.

Wuxin is a spectacular individual.

I wonder how he is doing now.

He is no easy foe.

He mastered the Six Higher Knowledge Arts

right away

and fought Wushuang from Wushuang City.

It's been a while now,

so he must have improved a lot.

Sir.

Duan Chenyi's cronies

and family have been captured.

How do we proceed now?

Expel them from Tianwaitian.

Noted.

When I traveled

with your father in Beili,

I came across this poem.

It reads,

the autumn is upon us,

but the moon from my hometown will always shine the brightest.

The moon from my hometown will always shine the brightest.

That's a fine poem.

Sir, what is a hometown

to you?

Tianwaitian

or Hanshui Temple?

Yuji.

Uncle Yuji,

do you know where my father

came from before he joined

Tianwaitian?

The Head was the son of a general from the previous dynasty.

He was born in Tianqi City.

He was born there,

but what he regarded as his hometown

was Gusu.

He spent

a few blissful years

with my mother there.

They gave birth

to me too.

So my hometown

should be Gusu.

I have gone there before.

There is a lake.

And next to the lake is a weeping willow.

I was told that my mother

used to comb her hair

with the lake as her mirror.

But one morning,

people found

her comb there,

but not her person.

And then,

Father brought me here.

If I'm not mistaken,

Father died in Gusu.

Where your hometown is doesn't matter.

Your hometown is where the people

you hold dear reside.

All right.

We have eliminated all threats of Tianwaitian.

With you two here,

there will be

no problem for the foreseeable future.

Sir,

are you...

I want to train in solitude.

Until when, sir?

When I attain the Unbeatable Phase of Arcana.
