[Beauty of Resilience]

[Episode 6]

Weird.

Why isn't it burning?

You said it was a flower?

In this world,

no flower can't be saved with resting soil.

Can I leave now?

What are you doing?

Let go of me!

How could you

break your promise?

Someone!

Is anyone there?

You broke your promise.

You devil!

Despicable! Shameless!

I've saved

your flower.

But you still locked me up here.

What do you want?

I want you to answer a few questions.

Are you interrogating me?

Yes.

You are the Kitchen God in the East Kitchen of the Heaven Realm,

and the niece of the Heavenly Empress.

You knew it!

Where is the Red Sun God

of the Heavenly Realm?

Are you looking for the Red Sun God?

He is the son of the Heavenly Emperor.

Of course he is serving

the Heavenly Emperor in the Heavenly Realm.

Besides,

he's usually busy with work.

I don't

know him well.

The son of the Heavenly Emperor?

You are not familiar.

Are you sure he's in the Heavenly Court?

Of course.

Who pretended to be

the Penglai Immortal Envoy

in Egret Academy?

I don't know.

No one can lie

in front of me.

Well...

He is...

the commander of the Imperial Guards of the Heavenly Realm.

Q-Qing Huan.

Qing Huan?

That's right.

He's awesome.

He commands millions of Heavenly Soldiers.

Besides,

we grew up together.

He is

a nice guy,

but he is impulsive.

If he knows

you locked me up here,

He will definitely...

tell

the Heavenly Empress.

He will tell her that I went out

to look for ingredients.

I'll be

in big trouble.

One last question.

Why did you steal Huarong?

It's a long story.

Do you know

there is a very special ingredient

called glow-in-the-dark mushroom

in the Demon Realm.

I've been here secretly to pick some for several times.

But

every time I cooked it,

I just couldn't make it

taste like the unique delicacy

described in the book.

I'm thinking about it.

According to the diet custom, I have to

bring the original ingredients back

in the Demon Realm to cook.

So I borrowed the flowers.

Nonsense!

Huarong is guarded.

How could you

get it so easily?

I...

My Lord, bad news.

Huarong is missing.

Well...

You won't tell me?

Fine.

Then you can stay

in this prison.

My Lord,

you just locked the Kitchen God in the East Kitchen up,

if it causes trouble,

I don't think it's worthwhile.

Immortals and demons are enemies.

There's no need to pretend to be nice.

She can

steal Huarong

in front of you

and use the spirit soil of Three Realms

to revive it easily.

Don't underestimate her.

Keep an eye on her.

Yes.

Well,

how about the Egret Academy...

We haven't found out who is the Phoenix.

Right now,

nothing can go wrong.

Yes.

[From the God's blessings, behold the message of the emperor that you make the relationships sincere and I hereby bestow a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to Egret Academy]

[Eighteen students and their parents will all be here. Each of them can enjoy themselves. Respect it!]

The academy was attacked by demons.

It's such a big matter.

The Imperial Advisor

hadn't said a word about it to the emperor.

And he ignored the safety of the students

to hold the Mid-Autumn Festival Party.

He even invited the students' parents.

Mid-Autumn Festival Party is the tradition of the academy.

Although there was a speech prohibition order,

the secret of the demon invasion

still spread.

This Mid-Autumn Festival Party

is indeed

a good way

to calm people down.

If the Mid-Autumn Festival Party will be held,

why do we have to hold a feast?

You have started cultivating since childhood

and stayed away from the world.

You don't even know the government as well.

But what about you, Dean?

You've been cultivating for years.

How can you bear the corruption of the government?

This

is the secular world.

Anyway,

please do your best

to protect students' safety.

It's my duty.

I'll take my leave.

Why are you here?

I would not have thought so.

It's fine

that Yi'er is messing around.

You are the Divine Lord.

Why did you cooperate with her

to do child's play?

Yi'er?

What did she do this time?

She stole some resting soil.

I don't know what she's up to.

The sunrise this morning

was an hour late.

Didn't you help her

let Yan Luo come home late?

What are you talking about?

Yi'er

didn't come here.

Didn't come?

That's even stranger.

You stopped the sunrise

this morning

for no reason?

Recently, the academy has been in trouble.

The students haven't slept well.

Therefore,

I delayed the sunrise

so that they can get some more sleep.

But after that,

I also felt

that it was quite inappropriate.

Of course not.

As the Divine Lord,

you have always abided by the Natural Law.

No sorrow, no joy.

And you never offer your sympathy.

How come you

did such a ridiculous thing

for these mortals today?

You should know

the life of a mortal

is just like the life of this flower.

It is fleeting.

Any behavior to change lives

by using magic

is against the Natural Law.

They'll be punished,

or get divine retribution.

Okay, I got it.

I won't do it again.

I just don't know

where did

Yi'er go on earth?

Yi'er.

Why did she steal resting soil?

Lord Rain.

The resting soil is the spirit soil of Three Realms.

I failed to guard it

and let you down.

I should be punished.

Yi'er is smart.

She wouldn't do anything bad.

Forget it.

It's all my fault.

Please punish me, Lord Rain.

Tao.

It's okay.

You didn't do anything wrong.

No.

If you don't punish me,

I will punish myself.

I'm requesting to

fertilize all the fields in Yingzhou.

I won't rest until I finish it.

Then you have to stay up

for three days and nights.

So this is the punishment

for me.

Are all devils so stubborn?

Liu Chang.

Take your invitations home.

You must attend.

That's all for today.

Yes.

My two elder brothers

had won first place

at the Mid-Autumn Festival Party.

This time,

I'm afraid I'll embarrass the Liu family.

Mid-Autumn Festival Party

is the tradition of Egret Academy.

But it's the first time

that I know about the parents' feast.

Yes.

That's because you're capable.

Let's go.

Even Lord Imperial Advisor

will attend it.

This

is unprecedented.

It's definitely because of the Phoenix.

Lady Lingyue.

We're lucky to have you.

Look who you're talking to.

She's peerless and mighty.

Don't say that.

The Imperial Advisor is distinguished.

Let's go.

Let's go.

[For Wei Zhi's Parents. At the right time, the autumn leaves and moon are bright and everything is shining. On August 15th, the Academy's Mid-Autumn Exam ceremony will be held.]

[Egrets fly in deep mountains and goshawks appear in the cliff shore. Thanks to your blessings, we helped each other. I'm honored to have you here.]

[Egret Academy. August 1st]

This is strange.

She's pretty.

The places she passed by

smelled like a bird.

But why am I

not interested in her?

I'm just interested in that girl.

What am I talking about?

Dean.

You've washed so many clothes.

Is this invitation yours?

Yes, thank you.

Do you want me

to ask seniors

to send the invitation to your home?

No, no, no.

Don't worry about it.

We have a lot to do at home.

My mother is busy too.

And her legs are not in good condition.

I'd better not invite her.

If your family can come,

then

ask her to come.

Okay, I'll ask her later.

Wei Zhi.

Why is the jade

gone?

I put it away.

Put it away?

Why?

Because last time you said

that is rare.

I thought it must be valuable.

So I put it away.

Dean,

I'll hang my clothes first.

Okay.

I urgently asked you here

to

distinguish the Phoenix.

As we all know,

the Immortal-Revealing Mirror worked.

It shows that the Phoenix

is hidden in the 18 students

of the Egret Academy.

For the winner

of the Mid-Autumn Exam,

the Emperor will appoint him

the true Phoenix.

Lord Imperial Advisor.

Do you believe the theory

of the heavens and demons now?

The Phoenix.

How glorious.

How noble.

How can it be decided

by the cultivation exam?

You are right.

Ming Lang

is intelligent, diligent and gentle.

I think he

has the potential of being the true Phoenix.

No, no, no.

He is simple-minded.

I'm afraid he isn't up to the task.

Don't make excuses in front of me.

Just follow my arrangement.

Thank you for lifting him up, Lord Imperial Advisor.

[Sifang Inn]

Father, please.

Good.

Father,

I remember your teachings.

I dare not slack off

on schoolwork.

I dare not say

that I'm outstanding.

But

in the academy,

only Lady Wei Lingyue

is better than me.

She is talented,

noble

and very gorgeous.

She is

amazing.

Ming Lang.

Yu Du is different from Gucheng.

The relationships between people

are complicated.

You must know it clearly.

Father,

I don't understand what you mean.

You and the Lady of Minister Wei

need to keep the friendship as classmates.

As for the rest,

don't think too much.

Father.

But...

Ming Lang.

Yes.

I will remember your teachings.

The Mid-Autumn Exam.

Ming Lang.

Show them what you got.

Wei Zhi.

Ming Lang.

Rice Cake.

Where did you get it?

My father came here.

He brought it from Gucheng.

So I brought some for you.

It's really from Gucheng.

It's been a long time

since you have eaten dishes from your hometown.

Take it.

Thank you.

Well,

I haven't seen Uncle Ming for a long time.

How is he?

He...

He's fine.

What's up?

Nothing.

It's just...

What?

I mentioned Lady Wei Jingyue

to my father today.

He seemed unhappy.

Maybe he thought her

is outstanding.

I'm not good enough for her.

You're good at both literature and martial arts.

Lady Wei Jingyue is gentle and kind.

In my heart,

you two are a perfect match.

In my opinion, you're the only one

who can match her in the academy.

But

I always feel

I don't deserve her.

Why not?

Think about it.

You are the third child in your family.

So does she.

You two are equal.

It's equal footing.

Sounds reasonable.

Of course.

Wei Zhi.

Just wait and see.

[Minister's Mansion]

Master,

[Chengxiang Tea]

the parents' invitation

for the Mid-Autumn Festival Party

was just sent to the mansion.

The Lord Ming

has arrived at Yu Du.

I heard

he came, passed by our mansion

and went straight to the Lord Imperial Advisor's Mansion

without stopping.

This tea tastes good.

It's better than

the tea that Mr. Ming sent

last time.

Master,

why do you only care about

whether the tea tastes good

at this time?

You don't care about

the relationship

between the Imperial Advisor and Lord Ming?

Ming Chengwu.

Imperial Advisor.

They two become closer.

Then our Lady Lingyue

who won't give up

until the end

can be saved.

Go.

Give the tea

to the servants.

Yes, Master.

I wonder how Wei Ye is doing.

I haven't seen him

since I came to the academy.

How about

going home tomorrow?

Maybe mother

want to attend

the Mid-Autumn Exam.

[Xinju Hall]

Come on.

Wei Ye.

Sis.

Come and see

what I brought you.

Look.

What is this?

This is the rice cake I told you about.

The best cake in the world.

Let me help.

Try it.

How is it?

It's delicious.

Eat more.

Mother.

Well,

the Mid-Autumn Exam is coming.

This time, we're holding a big banquet

to invite our parents.

Mother, do you want some rice cake?

It's delicious.

Where did you get it?

I bought it on the way.

Go inside.

Rice cakes are so precious.

How could you

buy it

on the way with a little money?

Tell me the truth.

Where did you get it?

It's from Ming Lang.

What?

The third young master of the Ming family.

He is

my classmate at Egret Academy.

All these years,

we are

hiding around.

Why?

You want us to die?

Mother!

Mother, let me out!

Mother, let me out first!

Mother!

Mother.

Why did you

lock her up?

She has grown up.

It's time to get married.

Mrs. Gu.

I haven't been called that

for a long time.

I am

the dean of Egret Academy.

I saw Fengzhi

in the academy.

Father.

Priest.

He said

he would leave tomorrow.

Is the carriage ready?

Yes.

Father, don't worry.

It's just that you came from afar.

Why don't you stay for a few more days?

I've been traveling

so I'm used to moving around freely.

My daughter-in-law

is an excellent homemaker.

It's just that Yuanshan has been away from home all year long.

We're sorry for her.

Not at all, father.

Yuanshan took over your position

and inherited the position of City Governor.

He should have his duty.

I don't know

when I can play chess

with you again.

There will be a chance.

Come down. Come down,

Come and play.

-Fengzhi. -This is the daughter of Yuanshan.

She is Fengzhi, right?

Yes.

Fengzhi, come here.

Greetings to the priest.

Grandpa.

Priest!

Priest.

Do you think my bracelet is pretty?

Grandpa gave it to me.

It's pretty.

Fengzhi.

Listen to your grandpa

and mother.

Okay.

After you left,

the mansion has been peaceful for a while.

I just hope that Yuanshan

can return with meritorious service.

But at this moment,

an imperial edict

changed everything.

From the God's blessings, behold the message of the emperor that

Gu Fengzhi, the witch of Gucheng, would bring disaster to the country,

caused drought and made people restless.

Thus, Gu Fengzhi will be offered as a sacrifice to the god to pray for the rain.

Respect it!

Father.

Take the food on the way.

When you arrive,

send a letter back.

Don't worry.

Fengzhi.

I can't be with you anymore.

You must listen to grandpa.

Duo.

Take care of her.

Grandpa, mother.

What did Fengzhi do wrong?

Why are we moving out?

Why do they call me a witch?

You're right.

Those bad guys used natural disasters

to slander our good girl.

Master, Young Madam!

Master, Young Madam, bad news!

The gate is surrounded by refugees.

Use the back door.

Let's go.

Gu Huaixuan.

If you continue to resist,

everyone in Gu mansion

will be executed.

Madam.

Where is she going?

Burn her!

Burn her to death!

It's noon.

The worship of the God of Earth ceremony begins!

Burn her to death!

Burn her!

Burn her!

Burn her!

Burn her!

Burn her!

Burn her!

Burn her!

Burn her!

Burn her!

Burn her!

Burn her!

Burn her!

Burn her!

Burn her!

Burn her!

Burn her to death!

Fire!

You!

Fengzhi!

Burn her! Burn her!

Burn her to death!

Fengzhi!

Don't come any closer.

I'll lose my temper if you come any closer.

Burn her to death!

Burn her!

Burn her!

Burn her to death!

Burn her!

Burn her to death!

Burn her!

Burn her to death!

Come!

Hurry up!

Burn this witch to death!

Father, help!

Fengzhi!

The Gu family

rebelled.

I just want to save my daughter.

I have no intention of rebellion.

Arrest them!

Father!

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Fengzhi.

Fengzhi.

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Father.

Fengzhi.

Father.

Father!

Grandpa.

Let's go.

Let's leave.

Grandpa.

Mother, let me help you.

[Yu Du]

Wait.

Go.

I didn't expect it.

This...

Back then,

I traveled

to Yu Du.

I stayed at Egret Academy

by chance.

Soon,

I heard the news.

I was really heartbroken.

I thought

I would never see

people from Gu family anymore.

Until

I recognized the jade bracelet

that Wei Zhi wore.

And then I recognized her.

Mrs. Gu.

you've suffered these years.

What is your plan

for the future?

My only wish

is to

bring up

the only son of the Gu family.

What about Fengzhi?

What about Weizhi?

Even after so many years,

whenever I saw her,

I would think of the death of the whole clan.

Blood all over the ground.

Fire all over the mountain.

She's my flesh and blood.

But...

there's no way not to hate her.
