(Back From The Brink)

(Episode 34)

Tianyao.

I'm all right.

I just find it

a little ticklish.

Do you want to know how it feels?

Get up now.

Come on, get up.

What did I tell you?

I wasn't lying, right?

You

look like you're in a good mood.

Why don't I teach you

how to absorb spiritual power?

Then,

let me take a look at your mind's eye.

It'll be all right.

Don't be scared.

You have such a broad mind's eye

even though you were just born.

It was no wonder you had incredible skills.

Your mind's eye will be brimming in a matter of time

so long as you've learned the methods of cultivation.

In a matter of time.

You can talk.

You...

You can talk.

What's my name?

What's...

What's my name?

You're Tianyao.

You're Tianyao.

No,

you're Tianyao.

I'm Yanhui.

No,

you're Tianyao.

I'm Yanhui.

I'm...

Me.

Me.

Yanhui.

You're

Yanhui.

That's right, Tianyao.

That's right, that's me.

Great Leader.

Great Leader.

Tianyao, he...

He can speak.

Look,

he's a quick learner.

Have you looked into

his mind's eye?

Yes.

It's vast and boundless.

I believe

he'll become the old Tianyao

in no time.

In no time.

Look,

he thinks so too.

That's great news.

What it is that's making you so happy?

We could hear you laughing

from outside.

Tianyao is getting better.

He is?

Getting better.

This is a happy occasion.

I have good news too.

Father,

I'm going to marry

the Phantom Clan's Queen.

See this?

This is the marriage contract

Mr. Yan wrote for me and Huan Xiaoyan.

Marriage contract?

We never

had this tradition in Qingqiu.

It's not a Qingqiu tradition.

I saw how Dragon King did it for Yanhui

during their wedding.

I thought it was great.

-It was great. -It looks like

you're all grown up now.

Since you love each other,

I have no reasons to object.

It's a good thing.

It seems to me

we have two pieces of good news today.

Let me spill the beans.

It should be three pieces of good news.

I'm going

to be a father.

I'm going

to be a father.

See how quickly he catches up?

I'm becoming a father,

not you.

You...

You're pregnant?

Not me.

It's Xiange. Xiange is the one who's pregnant.

Of course, it's Xiange.

Xiange is pregnant.

I want to go and visit her.

Why don't we go together?

It's three pieces of good news at the same time.

This calls for a big celebration.

Why don't we celebrate

at the new Wangyu Tower

Xiange and I opened?

Sure.

Father, then we'll...

Go ahead.

Come on.

-Let's go. -All right.

I'm really impressed

that you can move Wangyu Tower anywhere you want.

Hey, wait for me!

Don't run.

The situation in Qingqiu has stabilized.

We no longer

have to keep hiding anymore.

It's so beautiful.

So we decided to settle down here.

For you and Xiange,

it's after the storm comes the calm.

Miss Yan, that's not right.

Every single day I spent with Xiange

has been sweet.

Your joke is killing me.

Who died?

Let's go.

I've never seen these patterns before.

These tables and chairs

were all made by skilled craftsmen from Yongzhou.

Yongzhou?

Where is that?

Is it fun?

Yongzhou is my hometown.

It's a lively and bustling place

where business traders gather.

But now,

it's under the Guanghan Sect's control.

It's like a forbidden area now.

You can't eat first.

You have to wait for everyone

and eat using chopsticks.

Everyone?

Chopsticks?

Eat?

Yes.

My hometown

used to be lively too.

But now...

Don't be sad.

Qingqiu is also your home.

Hometown?

What's hometown?

A hometown

is a place you miss

no matter where you are.

Tongluo Village

and Dragon Valley.

You should go and visit these places.

Go...

Go

And visit?

You

and me?

Together?

Of course.

Would you remember anything

if we go back?

What are you talking about?

Let me carry this.

You're pregnant.

How can you carry heavy things?

-Sit down. -Everyone, please sit down.

This wine

is a 500-year-old collection of mine.

It's really precious.

No matter how precious, it's not as precious as you.

Feng Qianshuo is known to have a sharp tongue.

But ever since he met you,

he speaks in a gentle way now.

Of course.

Everyone,

I propose a toast.

We have come a long way

and experienced many hardships.

A happy gathering like tonight

is truly hard to come by.

We have fine drinks,

great friends,

and three pieces of good news.

Why don't we

make three wishes?

What do you say?

I'm fine with that.

Have you thought what to wish, Your Highness?

May I grow old

with the one I love.

It's good.

May you and the child be safe

on the day of the child's arrival.

Yanhui,

make the last wish.

May we have this moment in the future,

year after year.

Now that's what I call

a perfect wish.

Everyone, lift your cups.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

A draw.

Yes, it is.

After Xuelin's passing,

no one has played with me in a long time.

Let alone playing

so immersed like this.

Actually, I'm not too surprised

that you came to see me.

But your willingness

to work with the Spirit Clan

is somewhat unexpected.

It's our duty as fellow beings

to jointly resist Dark Phantom.

If the Taoists

all think this way,

then the Taoists and Spirit clans

wouldn't have been at odds

for the past two years.

Speaking of which,

this item

belongs to Chenxing Mountain.

Xuelin intended to use this artifact

to absorb the dark aura

and go to seal Dark Phantom back then.

But she didn't expect him

to find an opportunity

to slip into Master Qingguang's body

while he was busy maintaining the formation.

I've already repaired

this geomantic compass.

So it's time to return it to its rightful owner.

I hope it can be of help

to Chenxing Mountain.

Thank you, Great Leader.

How fortunate, how fortunate.

It is indeed wonderful.

This alliance to fight the enemies

between the Taoist and Spirit clans after a century.

Such a historical moment,

I'll record it in the annals of history

with my Eternal Fame Ink.

Don't you think

Mr. Yan's action is too solemn?

Mr. Yan

has always been this way.

Come on.

Just do it.

Great.

That's right.

(From now on, )

(you're my brother)

from different parents!

Drink up!

All right!

We're brothers after this drink.

Brothers.

(This rascal can hold his liquor)

(much better than before.)

You hatched from your egg not too long ago.

You're still a dragon baby.

You have to stop drinking already.

Don't worry.

My 500-year-old alcohol

doesn't harm the body.

-As you say. -Besides,

we should enjoy the moment and not worry too much.

Just let him drink to his heart's content tonight.

Xiange,

is your baby

having a good time

like us?

Yes.

How do you know?

Can he talk?

Of course.

Do you want to hear it?

Let's go to my room.

All right.

Yanhui, join us.

All right.

Don't drink too much.

You...

Sit down.

Just sit down.

The ladies want to have their own time.

Why do you want to join them?

He's right.

Dragon King,

-a toast for you. -Let's drink.

Can you hear it?

Yes, I can.

His heart is beating.

Yanhui,

do you want to hear it?

Yanhui,

come and hear it.

What's wrong?

What happened?

Are you hurt?

No.

It's nothing.

Do you want to tell me yourself or do you want me to investigate it?

Pick one.

Do you know

that the dragon fire and the dark aura are incompatible?

I've heard it from Great Leader before this.

Could this be...

Since I've become

the Lady of Dark Aura,

I would get burned by his dragon scent

from touching Tianyao every day.

I can't believe such a thing exists.

Then what will happen to you two after this?

It's all right.

It's enough

that Tianyao has awakened.

Let's not worry about the future now.

By the way,

I plan

to leave Qingqiu with him

and go to Tongluo Village tomorrow.

You haven't been settled down for long.

Why are you leaving so soon?

Tongluo Village

is where Tianyao and I met.

He

Made a vow

to protect the village there.

Maybe taking him back there

might help him

regain his memories.

Tongluo Village

is within the Taoist realm.

Will they

accept you?

It doesn't matter if they accept us or not.

In any case,

I won't let them take advantage of us.

Whatever happens,

you must be careful.

Don't worry.

I know what to do.

Dragon... Dragon King,

do you know

how much Yanhui suffered?

Huan Xiaoyan told me

that Yanhui used to like you so much

that she confessed her feelings to you.

But

you stabbed her twice.

Stab?

Her twice?

But luckily,

she still forgave you in the end.

This time,

Yanhui pulled herself out

of the Obsidian River

to rescue you.

Do you know how frightening

the Obsidian River is?

But what did you do?

You hatched out of your egg.

But you don't remember a thing.

Yanhui has suffered too much.

He's right.

In the past,

you treated her so well.

You spent a fortune just to make her smile.

Yes, you did.

Look at you, looking like a fool.

You even spit fire at her?

If the old you

saw what you did,

you'd beat yourself to death.

Yes, beat yourself to death.

You must drink as a punishment.

Yes, drink as your punishment.

Drink up.

Drinking punishment.

I'd

beat myself to death?

I had a great night tonight.

I didn't expect you

to hold your liquor this well now.

Yanhui,

what

was I like

before?

Before this?

It's a long story.

In the past,

you were

full of lies.

Me?

A liar?

Then...

Then,

did I hurt you?

Yes, you did.

You hurt me not only once.

So,

was I

a bad person?

It's not what you think.

You were lashing at the world

after you were hurt.

This time,

I'll definitely protect you.

I won't let you get hurt again.

So you no longer

need to walk on thin ice anymore.

Have some.

Tongluo Village

is the place

where we first met.

At the time,

your name was Fu.

I was tied up...

Fu...

and thrown into the woodshed.

You came to deliver me mantou

and

I ended up biting you.

Tied up?

Woodshed?

Why did I

only bring you mantou?

Why didn't I

untie you?

How are you going to eat mantou if I don't untie you?

None of that matters.

In any case,

Tongluo Village is a beautiful place,

nestled by mountains and water.

It's a wonderful place.

In the village,

we also have many...

You could say happy memories.

When you return,

perhaps

you'll clear all your doubts

about the past yourself.

It's the first place I met you.

I'm sure I'll like it.

Lingxiao?

What's wrong?

He hit me before.

I don't like him.

What are you doing here?

I brought some fruits

for your journey.

No need.

I know you're leaving Qingqiu

and heading into the Taoist territory.

I've discussed with the Great Leader Chenyi

that I'll protect you along the way.

No, thanks.

Your safety concerns

both the Taoist and Spirit clans.

I can protect myself and Tianyao.

I can protect myself and Yanhui.

Let's go.

When did this

happen to you?

Since when?

Since the time I saved you.

Since you awakened,

it was also the time I lost everything.

Suying,

don't you remember?

This is the place

where I used

all of my cultivation

to wake you up.

And this is

how you're treating me?

You've harmed Guanghan Sect's disciples.

They're just a bunch of trash!

They're worthless!

What's the difference

between them and the monsters in the prison?

You're brainwashed by Dark Phantom.

My mind's eye had been destroyed.

I can no longer cultivate immortality.

He gave me power.

What is wrong with that?

Yanhui is still alive.

She has returned.

She has returned!

Only Dark Phantom

can help me become stronger.

So I'll have the chance to kill Yanhui!

I did it to kill Yanhui.

I did it to exterminate bad people for the Taoist clans.

I will kill

Yanhui and the evil dragon.

But I can never tolerate

what you did with Dark Phantom.

You want to kill me?

You're going to kill me?

Why?

It was hard for me

to make my recovery until now.

No one can stop me!

Since young,

you're better than me.

People can only see you.

They'd call you, "Master Suying".

It wasn't easy

for me to gain

such a supreme technique.

Yet you want to deprive me of it.

Suying.

Suying.

Suying.

You're my only family.

I can't let the dark aura

ruin you.

Do you understand?

Suying,

I rather

not have you as my sister

in my life.

Today,

I'll teach you Jingming Chant.

Jingming Chant?

This technique is the fundamental practice

of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Countless techniques of the Taoist and Spirit clans

have evolved from it.

Just like

the Three Character Classic you studied.

Tianyao,

you're a spiritual dragon.

Your mind's eye is vast and boundless.

You would be able to master it quickly.

"The tangible is born from the intangible, the powerless gives birth to the powerful."

"The tangible is born from the intangible, the powerless gives birth to the powerful."

"To bring existence to nothing and returns to nothingness."

"To bring existence to nothing and returns to nothingness."

(I...)

(I hope I didn't teach him anything wrong.)

After that?

After that...

"Perception is shaped by our mental states.

The realization of emptiness, and emptiness isn't empty.

Empty is as empty does."

"Emptiness..."

"Emptiness..."

"The realization of emptiness, and emptiness isn't empty.

Empty is as empty does."

So?

Do you feel a slight warmth

in your dantian

and wisps of spiritual energy

gathering in your mind's eye?

I can feel it.

Is it

this growling feeling?

No.

That's the sound your stomach makes when you're hungry.

Forget it.

That's all for this morning's class.

Did...

Did I not do well?

Of course not.

Your progress these days

is faster than my ten years of cultivation

at Chenxing Mountain.

Chenxing Mountain?

Have you stayed in Chenxing Mountain?

Then... you...

What's your relationship

with him?

He

Was my master.

But we have no relations with each other anymore.

Chenxing Mountain?

Master.

Whip!

He was the one who whipped you.

Tianyao,

let it go.

Yanhui, don't stop me.

Just forget it.

But he whipped you.

Tianyao.

Tianyao, calm down.

Tianyao, don't act impulsively.

I want to avenge you, Yanhui.

Forget it.

He doesn't want

to argue with us.

You said

we should seek revenge and redress grievances.

Why...

Why are you protecting him?

He's not a bad person.

He hit me,

and he even whipped you.

He's a bad person.

Even so,

he's not a bad person.

It's not easy

to differentiate

between good and bad.

I don't want you

to speak up for him anymore.

Don't look

in the direction he left.

Just look at me.

Are you

jealous?

He

Was only my master.

Master?

What's a master?

A master

is someone who taught you to speak and read,

and a person who practices martial arts techniques.

Then are you my master now?

I'm your wife.

Wife?

Then what's the difference

between a wife and a master?

Master

is family.

A wife

is a lover.

Then you're my master

and also my wife.

That means

you're someone who's both close and beloved to me.

What's the matter?

Tianyao,

you must not say such things

to anyone else

when you're out there.

I won't.

Other than you,

no one else

is both close and beloved to me.

Let's get going.

Come on.

Master Lingxiao,

you deliberately chose a route

where there's less patrol

by the Taoist and Spirit clans

to help your beloved disciple cross the river.

You even want us

to get things ready in advance too.

You truly dote on her.

Thank you for the favor.

They're coming.

You're here.

Since everyone is here,

you can cross the river now.

Thank you for preparing the raft for us.

I'm afraid

it's a bit too crowded with three people.

Are you being picky here?

No.

It's just

that it doesn't have to be crowded.

Let's go.

Come on.

I guess my job is done here.

Master Lingxiao,

it seemed

sending your disciple on her journey wasn't easy.

Well,

you didn't manage to see her off in the end.

Mr. Yan,

that was too much.

Not at all.

Yanhui,

hurry!

Walk faster!

Be careful or you'll trip.

Yanhui, look!

Over there!

It's beautiful.

Come on!

Let's go.

Why are you so happy today?

Of course, I'm happy

because we got rid of someone we don't want to see.

Let's go.

I'm fine.

Today,

I'll walk on this side.

Your...

Your hand

is hurt.

Probably the road was too slippery yesterday,

so I accidentally fell.

Let's go.

When we were together yesterday,

I was holding your hand tightly.

Maybe I burned it

while roasting the chicken last night.

It's okay.

Look at me, I'm so skilled.

See?

That's amazing.

If you don't hurry,

the person you dislike

will catch up to us soon.

We should walk faster then.

Let's go.
