[Beauty of Resilience]

[Episode 9]

Aren't you bored

alone here?

Don't you want to go out?

Of course.

But I can't get out.

Well.

Do you think it can help you?

We can't walk out of

this forest.

We can't walk out of it.

Should we fly out of it?

Yes.

I know.

I know how to get out.

Wait for me.

I know how to get out.

Wait for me.

Well,

why don't we try

the Teleportation Master taught us?

We may be able to get out.

Yes, Teleportation.

We're bewitched

by the illusion.

Try it.

You should go first. I'll cover the back.

Come on, let's do it together.

Hold me tight. Let me cast the spell.

Okay.

Run like this.

It doesn't work, Liu Chang.

We have to find another way.

I can run.

I won't give up.

But it's almost time.

If it's time

and we're still trapped here,

who knows

what we'll face.

I can't let us take the risk.

I don't care.

I quit.

Why did you use the flying talisman?

To save our lives.

There is no retreat on the battlefield.

You wouldn't come back if you didn't retreat.

Only a coward like you

thinks about saving your life.

General Liu, calm down.

Father.

Lord Bao.

Your son is witted.

Liu Chang is far behind.

From now on,

our families should be more intimate.

General Liu.

They are classmates.

It's what we should do.

Go.

They're back too.

What a pity.

I've accepted the flying talisman.

I don't know

why you can see me.

But today

is the happiest day of mine

in thousands of years.

So,

Wei Zhi, listen carefully.

Turn back if you can't get over.

Just repent and salvation is at hand.

Thank you.

I will make it.

What's the competition?

No matter what it is,

the end must be

across the Weak River Barrier.

Miss Wei,

you were talking about the Weak River Barrier?

I once read

the introduction of this dangerous place in the Three Realms

in the library.

If I'm not mistaken,

we have to

cross the illusive barrier

in this round.

Miss Wei, do you have a way

to pass it?

There's no way.

We can't cross the Weak Water Barrier with flesh.

Our magic

can't be used here either.

It's a dead end.

-This... -A dead end.

Everyone, think about

how to pass it.

Even my sister can't think of a way.

Who else can think of it?

Look over there.

What's this?

This is the demon fog.

Demonic fog invasion

may trigger the devil inside

and confuse people.

It can't be undone.

Yes.

A man should be decisive.

Yes, we quit.

The fog wall can't be boundless.

Let's

go this way.

If we find the edge of the fog,

we might be saved.

What kind of solution is that?

There's no way.

Wei Zhi, listen carefully.

Turn back if you can't get over.

Just repent and salvation is at hand.

Let's go.

Wait.

I think we should

go that way.

Are you crazy? My sister said

the destination was across the shore.

Go on.

The demonic fog

may look dangerous,

but it might be a cover-up.

It's too late.

Wei Zhi,

how sure are you about that?

I'm not sure.

It's no different from asking for death.

I quit.

Me too.

What should we do?

Look.

She's going in.

She seems to have chosen a dead end,

but it can imply

unexpected hope.

Isn't this

what I should think of?

Sister.

Are you crazy?

Let's go.

They...

Who is the one that leads the way into the mist?

She is a maid of Minister Wei.

Minister Wei is good at managing his people.

Even a maid

is so extraordinary.

I'm flattered.

It's just a coincidence.

Luck

is also a part of our strength.

It's the last critical moment.

Let's see

whose luck

is better.

Lingyue.

Jingyue.

Wei Zhi.

Where are you?

Kill her.

You'll be the Phoenix.

Kill her.

Kill her.

You'll be the Phoenix.

Kill her.

Sister.

Ming.

Sister, where are you?

Wei Zhi.

It's all your fault.

We're so screwed.

Sister.

Ming Lang.

Ming Lang.

Ming Lang.

Ming Lang.

Father.

Jingyue.

Where are you?

Phoenix.

You're the Phoenix with everyone's attention.

Wei Lingyue.

Are you the Phoenix?

I am.

Are you

really the Phoenix?

Everyone, calm down.

Use the Heart-protecting Chant.

Sister.

Sister.

Get out. Get out.

Sister.

We're out.

We quit.

Sister, what should we do?

Let's move on.

Let's go.

It was all because of my sister's Heart-protecting Chant.

Wei Zhi.

Otherwise,

you'd die in the fog.

It's all thanks to Wei Zhi

going backward.

In terms of strength,

she knows nothing.

If it's just luck...

No.

It's not just luck.

It's not the end yet.

Let's get through this first.

What...

What's going on?

There's no other way

to survive the coldest place.

We have to move forward.

If we stay,

we can't keep our body temperature

when our spiritual power runs out

and we can't pass.

But there's nothing here.

Mr. Ming,

how do you judge the direction?

No need to judge.

In my opinion,

we just need to

follow one direction

and we can get out of here.

Here,

our body temperature

is precious.

Don't get separated.

Come on.

Let's hold hands.

Hold hands.

Weird.

Why are your hands so warm?

Aren't you cold?

I'm fine.

Your hands are quite cold.

Let me rub it for you.

Are you okay?

I, I can.

Are we

getting out of here soon?

Jingyue.

Jingyue.

Hang in there.

We can get out soon.

I can't make it.

Leave.

Leave me alone.

Jingyue.

Why don't you leave first?

I'll stay here

to cast a spell to protect her from the cold.

Don't worry.

If it doesn't work,

I will leave with the flying talisman.

If you do this,

you'll both be eliminated.

She is my teammate.

I'll stand by her side.

Ming Lang.

I thank you on behalf of Jingyue.

Just go.

Let's go.

Take it.

Take this Wunuan Pill.

Don't ask anything.

You'll be number one tomorrow.

Father.

This...

I don't think it's a good idea.

Ming Lang.

Although I am the master of the city,

there's not much I can help you.

If you can be chosen as the real Phoenix,

you'll truly

succeed

after some time of

practicing.

Ming.

What's wrong with me?

You

froze.

I don't feel cold at all.

You saved me.

If you're okay,

let's continue.

Let's go after my sister.

Ming.

Ming, what's wrong?

I got you into trouble.

What are you talking about?

I dragged you down.

Jingyue.

I'm afraid

I can't pass the test with you.

Ming,

you must have a way.

Right?

Tell me.

You must have a way.

I have an idea.

Ming.

Ming, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Ming Lang

is loyal to his friend.

It's Jingyue's fault.

She dragged him down.

Don't say that, Minister Wei.

It's just a test.

Don't worry about it.

Wait.

You'll freeze.

Let me help you.

It's okay. I'm not cold.

It's okay. We're teammates.

OK. Let's go.

We passed.

Did we pass?

The cooperation is over.

The assessment you're going to face

is the last part.

Draw the sword

and start the final battle.

Whoever wins

will be the last winner.

Why is there still a battle?

Miss.

Lady Lingyue, what are you doing?

Don't you know?

Only one person shall win the assessment.

Only you and me are left.

We must

have a showdown.

This...

Qing Huan.

What do you want?

Get up, Wei Zhi.

A hundred birds face the Phoenix.

The Phoenix is here.

In that case,

Wei Lingyue is really the Phoenix?

Fine.

In this Mid-Autumn Festival assessment,

Wei Lingyue

won first place.

Great.

Congratulations, Minister Wei.

It's true.

Lady Lingyue is indeed the Phoenix.

How nice.

Why is Wei Lingyue the Phoenix?

Sister, you're amazing.

I knew

you'd be the first.

Good.

My Lord,

Huarong…

Something is wrong with Huarong.

Congratulations, My Lord.

The Phoenix.

Sister.

I've opened my eyes today.

I've never seen

a hundred birds facing the Phoenix.

The Phoenix bless Dayu.

It's the auspicious sign of the country.

Minister Wei.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

It's just an assessment.

Minister,

you're wrong.

A strange sign has appeared.

Your daughter is the real Phoenix.

Thanks to His Majesty's grace

and the teachers' and students' efforts.

The Mid-Autumn Festival competition

is wonderful.

I'll report to His Majesty

to commend the academy.

Lord Imperial Advisor.

The strange sigh appeared and the real Phoenix showed up.

It's a blessing to Dayu.

Besides, Lord Imperial Advisor is also responsible for

finding the real Phoenix for His Majesty.

Now that you've achieved your merits,

congratulations.

Congratulations.

The phoenix is an auspicious sign.

Of course I have to enter the palace

and report it to His Majesty.

But

the news will spread soon.

The peace of the academy

and Phoenix's safety…

Dean,

are you confident in ensuring that?

With Yan Yue here,

it'll be fine.

Let Wei Lingyue

wait for His Majesty's decree.

A hundred birds face the phoenix.

A hundred birds face the phoenix.

Father,

I know

what happened today

is not what you want.

Lingyue.

I'm not here to scold you.

The conclusion is complete.

I

will do my best

to protect you.

Really, Father?

I won't be proud

just because

I'm the Phoenix.

I will assist you in

serving Dayu

and helping the people.

Good.

It's my fault for underestimating you.

You

can bear the name of a phoenix.

I think you're unlucky.

If you fall again,

you'll break.

Alright.

From now on,

I'll protect you.

That's right.

Everyone should be

congratulating Lady Lingyue.

I've strengthened the barrier.

Don't come out

for the time being.

Master, are you the only one

who can go in and out?

Master,

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

I specially prepared

the moon cakes specially made in the mansion.

I'd like to invite you to taste it.

No need.

The full moon is the most normal phenomenon.

I don't understand

why people should make such a fuss.

Since I acquire a different identity now,

I have many questions

to ask you.

Phoenix is the Chosen One.

You don't need to ask anyone for advice.

Just follow your heart.

Yes, Master.

Be careful.

Don't come out of the boundary

without me.

The Phoenix is about to come out.

Your merit is about to be fulfilled.

Why are you still frowning?

You need to explain

why you

tampered with the last round first.

But the result is perfect, isn't it?

It's Heavenly Emperor's order.

It's a strange omen of the Phoenix. The Three Realms will hear about it.

The Demon Clan will surely make a move.

What should we do

next?

Did Heavenly Emperor

have any instructions?

His Majesty

asked you to watch her closely.

Watch her?

First, the light of the Immortal-Revealing Mirror

broke through the Heavenly Palace.

The heavens were shocked.

Later, the Heavenly Emperor sent me to the Mortal Realm.

I should know this is a serious matter.

Now that the Phoenix has been found,

the Demon Clan is ready to make a move.

Why didn't the Heavenly Emperor issue an edict

and send the Phoenix

to the Heavenly Court?

The Heavenly Emperor didn't give any other decree.

I can't answer

your question.

Now, I only have half of my magical prowess.

If I meet another demon,

I'm afraid I can't handle it.

Do you need me to send some Heavenly Soldiers

to help you?

No need.

I'll go back to the Heavenly Court

and ask Father.

Master.

Master.

Are you all right? I'm fine.

That's good.

The wound

was done by Ou Ya?

Ou Ya?

Wei Zhi, are you okay?

Are you hurt?

I'm fine.

That's good.

Yan Yue is coming.

Wei Zhi, don't worry.

With Yan Yue here,

no one dares to hurt you.

I'm leaving.

Ou Ya.

Please spare my life.

I don't want your life.

Let me ask you.

Who sent you here?

Lord Ming.

Ming Chengwu?

Why?

We take money to work.

I don't know the cause and effect.

Please save me.

Since you don't know the cause and effect,

I can't change your karma.

A moment ago,

you were already dead.

Master.

my mother and brother

must be in danger.

Master,

please take me to save them.

Mother.

Ye.

-Sister. -How are you? Are you hurt?

You were also instructed by Ming Chengwu?

When Ming Chengwu went to Yu Du,

Gucheng suffered a bloodbath.

The Gu family was destroyed.

But he became the City Governor.

All these years,

I have no evidence

or the ability to find the truth.

I just want to live in seclusion

and live peacefully.

But I didn't expect

he wouldn't even

spare us.

Let's go.

Let's meet Ming Chengwu.

Master.

It's my business to find the Ming family.

You shouldn't take care of it for me, should you?

It doesn't matter.

I'm already doing it.

It's for your self-defense.

For me?

Your power is weak,

and you can't use magic.

After thinking about it,

this is the best for you.

Thank you, Master.

Let's go.

Okay.

Father.

If you want to explain

why you didn't take

the Wunuan Pill,

save it.

I'm sorry.

I let you down.

I won't blame you.

But you must promise me

to go back to Gucheng with me now.

Why?

Yu Du is going to be in trouble.

Our Ming family

can't get involved in this again.

Studying at Egret Academy

and being taught by an immortal,

how many people's dream

is this?

Now my course is not finished,

how can I just leave?

You don't want to be the Phoenix,

but you're bewitched by the Phoenix.

If I could do something to

your feelings for Wei Lingyue

before today,

I couldn't do anything more

after today.

Ming Lang.

You've been taking charge of politics with me

since childhood.

Can't you see through this?

Can't you let it go?

You're right, Father.

But I

don't want to go home now

because I want to

learn in the academy.

it's not for Miss Wei.

If it isn't for Wei Lingyue,

is it for

Gu Fengzhi?

Do you think I can't tell

that Wei Zhi is Gu Fengzhi?

Father.

It's such a big deal.

But you didn't tell me.

If I hadn't been

witty enough to see it,

I'm afraid I'd be kept in the dark.

If anything,

this is the most disappointing to me.

I know I was wrong.

The Phoenix is here.

And the orphans of Gucheng are here too.

I can't see through

the Minister of Rites' Mansion now.

As far as I know,

it's just a coincidence

for Wei Zhi to live in Wei Mansion.

There are only her mother and brother

in her family.

Please

let them go.

Ming Lang.

How could you

think of me like this?

How can I

kill women

and children?

The Gu family was defeated.

But our Ming family was unharmed.

and became the City Governor.

People in Gucheng

have been talking about it.

Shut up!

The Ming family and the Gu family are deeply in love.

I did

let the Gu family down.

That's because I was weak and incompetent.

I had no choice,

but I wasn't ruthless!

Father.
