[Episode 14]

[Chenglu Hall]

We agreed

to frame Yandan for a small mistake

and chase her out of Yanxu Heavenly Palace.

Why did you break your promise?

Are you out of your mind?

This is Yuqing Palace.

You gave the lotus root that harmed her

yourself.

Why are you pretending to be innocent?

Now, you're telling me to act in good faith?

I was just worried

that Yandan would commit a huge mistake in the future.

That's why I wanted to punish her so that she would be aware of it.

I didn't intend to kill her.

She just received the thunder strikes,

and she had lost half of her heart.

If she's convicted of her crime

and is sent to the Heavenly Gallows again,

even if she survives,

she'll revert to her original form.

My intention was for her to disappear from this world.

Zhixi,

no matter if the punishment is serious or not, you have no way to get out of this.

Your ties with her have severed long ago.

This case has alerted His Supreme Majesty.

You better keep quiet if you don't wish

to ruin both your career

and life.

(Why?)

(Why did it end up like this?)

(What exactly went wrong?)

His Majesty has instructed us.

We are to move

all of these things away within two hours.

No delays are allowed.

[Yanxu Heavenly Palace]

What are you doing?

How dare you taint His Majesty's item

with your terrible embroidery?

It's no wonder His Majesty couldn't wait any longer.

It's no wonder

he ordered his men to move all your wretched belongings

out of the palace.

(Sovereign Lord Yingyuan,)

(do you actually hate me that much?)

You should enjoy the view while you can.

Now that you've stepped out the palace door,

you won't be able to return again.

Looking at the current you

reminded me of the past me.

However,

I left the palace gloriously in the past for a promotion

while you're leaving shamefully.

No matter if it's me, who was assigned to His Majesty by His Supreme Majesty,

or Zhixi, who sacrificed half her heart to save his life,

no fairy

can stay in Yanxu Heavenly Palace forever.

His Majesty's heart

only has space for the beings of the Three Realms.

His heart has no space for a single woman.

Is that so?

If that's the case,

why did you rack your brain just to transfer me away from the palace?

I wasn't the one who chased you out and sent you to prison.

It was him.

So what if he played weiqi with you

and taught you divine arts?

To him,

you're nothing but an inferior attendant

who's there to entertain him.

However, you're different from the others indeed.

Out of all the fairies who had left the palace,

you're the only one who's leaving with egg on your face.

Do you know what His Majesty said about you?

He said

you were a disgrace to Yanxu Heavenly Palace.

He has ordered his men

to burn your things in the Soul Incinerator.

You should have seen this coming

from the day you harbored thoughts

you shouldn't have.

Take her away.

-Yes. -Yes.

[Yanxu Heavenly Palace]

You must have suffered.

Why?

Why did you do this to me?

I'm sorry.

I just wanted to frame you for a small mistake

so that you could leave Yanxu Heavenly Palace

and His Majesty's side.

I didn't want you to be trapped by love.

I didn't expect

Yingdeng to use me as her pawn

and land you in this state.

I know.

Nothing I say matters now.

However, I truly did it

for your sake initially.

For my sake?

If so,

why didn't you speak up for me when Yingdeng framed me

for the poison?

Do you know how you looked back then?

I felt like you were no longer the sister I knew.

I was a coward.

I didn't dare to admit my mistake

in front of His Supreme Majesty and His Majesty.

Since I was little,

I always thought

that you were the dearest person to me.

I thought you would always protect me

and support me.

Even if everyone else would betray me,

I thought you wouldn't.

I even swore a secret vow

that I would share weal and woe together with you.

But now...

After all that had happened,

now that I'm looking at the current you,

I still don't understand

what had happened.

Can you please tell me

why you did so?

Since you were little,

you always thought that I was strong

and didn't fear anything, right?

It was because you didn't understand me at all.

You don't know how much I had suffered

all these years.

You suffered?

Ever since we acquired our human forms

and after His Majesty said

that I was the weaker twin,

I started training harder

than anyone I knew

so that people would not take me lightly.

You understood the essence of Xiaohan Scriptures

by just copying it.

Something that's easy for you to attain

was actually my lifelong wish.

I've never wanted you to be sent to the Mortal Realm for me.

However, you requested it in public.

People mocked my ineptitude.

When I finally became the Vice Curator,

you went and stole my job.

You eliminated demons and protected His Majesty.

Everyone was taking me lightly.

Even your fellow attendants

were mocking me behind my back.

I didn't expect you

to be troubled over

people saying that you were the weaker twin.

I actually didn't notice it at all.

I know

you didn't want to head to the mortal world.

You wanted to be promoted.

That's why I wanted to use my own ways

to help you out as much as I could.

However, I've never tried

to be in your shoes.

I've never asked you about it,

causing you to hold a huge grudge against me.

I thought

we could walk together

hand in hand forever.

I thought

we would always be best sisters.

But I...

But I never expected us to end up like this.

I'm sorry.

I'm a terrible sister.

I'm sorry.

Yandan,

I'm sorry.

I know.

This is my fault.

I'm sure you've held this grudge for a century.

You may never be able to let go of it

as long as I'm around.

Maybe now,

the best outcome

is for us to never see each other again.

Zhixi,

live on well for yourself.

Leave now.

Yandan.

Leave!

Just go!

Your Majesty,

although Yandan is mischievous,

she has a kind nature.

I don't believe that she's the culprit.

Should we really do nothing about it

as she receives the punishment of fire?

Yandan isn't willing to speak the truth

to protect the person she wants to protect.

However,

I will not let her suffer for a crime she didn't commit.

I will find other evidence

and prove her innocence.

Your Majesty,

this is an immortal attendant of Qianyun Palace.

He's here to look for Yandan.

Why are you looking for her?

Your Majesty,

Fairy Yandan passed this agarwood incense burner

to me a few days ago

and told me to burn it with fire.

However, the incense burner was blessed with divine arts.

I couldn't burn it no matter what I did.

I had no choice but to return it to her.

But now, I couldn't find her.

I will return it to her.

You all may leave for now.

(Yandan,)

(since you were willing to burn this agarwood incense burner,)

(I'm sure you were thoroughly disappointed with me.)

(However, the only way for you to sever your emotions)

(was to leave Yanxu Heavenly Palace.)

(By doing so, you will no longer be hurt or sad)

(in the future.)

[Wenshui Pavilion]

Yumo!

This is bad!

Something huge happened!

Didn't you tell me this yourself?

We shouldn't panic no matter the situation.

Why are you panicking?

For some reason, Yandan was arrested

for poisoning the Curator!

Sovereign Lord Yingyuan had sent her to Heavenly Prison!

We have to save her!

Don't worry.

I will surely try everything

to save her.

Yumo.

Yumo!

Yumo!

Yumo,

why are you trying

to break the barrier out of the blue?

Did you know

that Yandan was sent to Heavenly Prison?

However, this barrier

is connected to my immortal spirit.

Everyone can enter and exit at will,

except for me.

This won't do.

I have to rescue Yandan as soon as possible.

Yumo,

since Yandan is your friend,

naturally, she's my friend as well.

I'll find the Marshal right now

so that he can dispel the barrier.

You mustn't do so.

Marshal Huode will never agree to it.

It's impossible for me to leave Yandan in the lurch.

I must save her,

even if it means I have to sacrifice myself.

Luming?

Don't worry about me.

I'm doing great over here.

Do you even know the situation you're in?

Yandan,

you have to tell His Majesty

the entire truth now.

If not,

you'll die.

I'd never believe that you

were the culprit behind the poisoning incident.

Apart from you, Zhixi is the only Four-Leaf Lotus

around within the entire Heavenly Palace!

Are you keeping quiet

because you want to protect her?

Even though Zhixi is your dear sister,

she framed you for her crime.

I'll go if you insist on keeping quiet!

I'll explain everything to His Majesty right now!

No!

You mustn't do so

if you still treat me as your friend.

But why?

I've already talked it out with Zhixi.

She has bitter reasons for this.

I was the cause of her suffering.

She had been living within my shadow

for the past century.

However,

she still protected me for the past century.

Even so,

she shouldn't just frame you like this!

Her kindness and crime had canceled out each other.

Anyway,

you shouldn't put her on the spot.

I'm willing to leave this place if it means that Zhixi

can be relieved of her suffering.

Anyway,

she's still my sister

no matter what other people say about her.

Leave this place?

Could it be that you're seeking death?

How is that possible?

Sovereign Lord Yingyuan had promised me

that he would keep me alive

and send me to the Mortal Realm.

Really?

Yes.

I didn't expect that either.

I guess this is a blessing in disguise.

In the past, I used to fantasize

about how beautiful the Mortal Realm was.

I wanted to visit it someday.

This time, I guess

I can finally check it out myself.

Since you've already decided

to head to the Mortal Realm,

maybe you will never be able to return again.

Why don't you

take Yumo with you?

Sovereign Lord Yingyuan is too far out of your reach.

So,

you should consider

being together with Yumo instead.

You like him as a friend, right?

Can you not match us up randomly?

Yumo is the black fish I raised.

It's perfectly reasonable even if he addresses me as his mother.

I will bear the consequences myself.

There's no need to implicate other people.

Anyway,

I've already made up my mind.

You should stop persuading me.

If you can withstand my willfulness

and still treat me as a friend,

from now on,

you should stand by Sovereign Lord Yingyuan for me.

I've gotten to the bottom of it.

You were concocting an elixir

that could protect one's artifact spirit right before you were poisoned.

It would only be effective if you took it three days in a row.

You were the one

who poisoned yourself.

Yandan wasn't supposed to be punished.

You were supposed to be sent to the Heavenly Gallows instead.

Yandan?

Yandan.

Your Majesty, you only have eyes for Yandan.

Why have you never once looked me in the eyes

even though I stood by you for a millennium?

This is my firefly lamp.

It never extinguishes.

Sovereign Lord Yingyuan, you're occupied with the affairs of the Heavenly Court every day.

You have worked hard.

I hereby grant you this lamp

as a token of appreciation.

I assume the palace has an abundance of heavenly aura.

After a millennium,

the wick of the firefly lamp

actually became an artifact spirit

and acquired a human form.

Sovereign Lord Yingyuan,

she had kept you company for a millennium.

You should bring her back

and let her serve you in Yanxu Heavenly Palace.

Your Majesty and I

were fated to be together.

Do you really think I have no idea?

You disrespected the heavenly laws

and attempted to use a loving relationship

for me to enlighten you

so that you could transform into an immortal spirit.

That's not it!

I admit that I did have an ulterior motive for approaching Your Majesty back then.

But I did have feelings for you.

You had feelings for me?

I was already benevolent enough

for not sending you to the Heavenly Gallows back then!

Both Yandan and I

were your immortal attendants.

I was cautious

and loyal to my duties.

Not only did she lie, but she also committed plenty of mistakes!

But Your Majesty defended her

and chased me out of the palace instead!

Why?

Your Majesty, why can you never see me?

It's because immortals

should have no feelings.

Immortals should have no feelings?

If so,

Your Majesty, why did you shed tears just now?

Your Majesty,

if you do have feelings for Yandan,

no matter how severe the punishment of love is,

Your Majesty is immensely powerful,

and you're protected by His Supreme Majesty,

I'm sure you can escape unscathed.

But what about Yandan?

She's still injured,

and now, she has to face such a severe punishment.

I'm afraid she will perish.

Are you trying to threaten me here?

Your Majesty,

I just hope that you can spare me.

His Supreme Majesty had already

given his verdict.

If you reopen the case again,

His Supreme Majesty will surely get to the bottom of it.

The fact that Yandan was secretly helping you

will be exposed.

His Supreme Majesty has never been lenient toward those who committed the crime of love.

If he uses the Severing Cord to test her love for you,

I'm afraid that she will face the punishment of love

instead of the punishment of fire.

Yandan still has a chance to survive the punishment of fire.

It's at least better than the punishment of love.

It will torture her until death.

Your Majesty, if you spare me right now,

I will swear a vow.

I will keep quiet.

I will never tell anyone

about your relationship with Yandan.

I won't destroy

this evidence.

If you dare to do something like this again,

I will never spare you.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I will surely turn over a new leaf.

I will never do it again.

You better keep yourself in check from now on.

(Yingyuan,)

(back then, you rejected me using the Heavenly Rules as your excuse.)

(Now,)

(I will watch you)

(as you send the person you love to the Heavenly Gallows.)

(She will misunderstand you,)

(hate you,)

(and she will never know what you have done for her.)

(Sovereign Lord Yingyuan,)

you told your men

to send her belongings here this morning.

And now, although it's getting late,

you came all the way to Xuanxin Cliff

to clean up her room?

Marshal,

I have a favor to ask of you.

Please do me this favor.

[Qingli Knack]

Back then, I was the one

who attacked you.

It's been ages since then.

Moreover, too many things

had happened in the Heavenly Court during this period.

I've long forgotten about it.

You and I were lucky

to return from the battlefield alive.

Just tell me

if you need any help.

Marshal,

I hope that you can give me a Letter of Immunity.

A Letter of Immunity?

But why?

Could it be that you've committed a grievous sin?

I'm not requesting it for my sake.

It's for Yandan's sake.

You mean that mischievous brat?

She will be punished

in the Heavenly Gallows in three days.

She had already endured a punishment of thunder strikes.

I'm afraid her immortal spirit will perish

if she receives the punishment of fire right now.

Marshal, that's why

I hope you can spare her from her punishment

with the Letter of Immunity.

What exactly has the little attendant done wrong

for her to receive such heavy punishment?

It's inconvenient for me to reveal the reason to you.

However, Yandan is not a crook.

You and I have competed for many years.

Your morality can be seen through the way you compete with me.

I know your personality well.

I won't ask you why.

I'll do you this favor.

Marshal,

I'm deeply indebted to you.

Besides that,

I have another favor to ask of you.

Speak up.

After this,

I will transfer Yandan back to Xuanxin Cliff.

Although she doesn't have much immortal power,

she's an extraordinary talent.

Marshal, I hope you can take her as your disciple

and ensure her future.

Although that little attendant

joined hands with you to beat me up,

I love

a sassy brat like her.

She's witty and brave too.

She's good enough to be my disciple.

Sovereign Lord Yingyuan,

this is my first time

seeing you being this concerned about an immortal attendant after so many years.

You actually parted with your favorite

weiqi manual because of her.

However, don't worry.

I know how much you adore this weiqi manual.

I will surely return it to you

in perfect condition after reading it.

No need for that.

I've already solved all of the weiqi riddles in there.

From now on,

I will stop playing weiqi.

Yumo,

I know you're a descendant of the Nine Fins Clan.

The Nine Fins Clan is born with extraordinary power.

But why can't we dispel the Marshal's barrier?

Don't worry.

I will keep this a secret.

Yumo,

you should try using my Heartseeker Bell.

Zhaolan,

I'm sorry.

the Heartseeker Bell was destroyed because of me.

I will surely make it up to you

after I save Yandan.

It's fine.

The Heartseeker Bell

is just one of the random artifacts

I'm carrying with me.

The Dragon Clan has plenty of other artifacts like this.

You should hurry to save her.

(The Heartseeker Bell has already rung.)

(Whether it will ring again)

(no longer matters now.)
