[Beauty of Resilience]

[Episode 10]

The Gu family was defeated,

but our Ming family was unharmed,

and even attained the position of City Governor.

People in Gucheng

have been buzzing about this matter.

Shut up!

The Ming family and the Gu family share a deep bond and a strong sense of loyalty.

It is true that I, Ming Chengwu,

has caused harm to the Gu family,

but it was due to my weakness

and incompetence,

not out of my malicious intent!

Father.

Father!

Father, what's wrong?

Somebody help!

Father!

Help!

Wei Zhi! Master!

Hurry up and save my father!

He's poisoned.

Father.

Who wanted to harm you?

Father.

Father!

Father!

Why did you arrest him?

Ming Chengwu hired an assassin to commit murder

and then committed suicide out of fear.

This is a serious case.

And we have been instructed to arrest people involved in this case.

Take him away.

Wait.

Who are you?

How dare you stop us from carrying out our investigation?

I'm Yan Yue,

the Yan Immortal Envoy from Egret Academy.

She is my disciple, Wei Zhi.

How can you apprehend people

without any evidence?

Your surname is Wei.

Are you from Minister Wei's mansion?

Yes.

You should stay out of this.

This is a serious case.

We must take away people

related to Ming Chengwu.

Please forgive us, Immortal Envoy.

Take him!

-Let’s go. -Let’s go.

Wei Zhi.

Trust me.

My father didn't hurt anyone.

He was framed!

Father.

Father!

Uncle Ming.

There are fluctuations in the barrier.

You should go back first.

Wei Lingyue.

Dean.

[Qingtong]

Where is Wei Lingyue?

Take it easy, Immortal Envoy.

The Imperial has issued an edict

to take Wei Lingyue to the palace for an audience with His Majesty.

Although I was being cautious,

the Demon Realm still prevailed.

Many mortals died in vain.

Yan Yue, look at yourself.

You were well aware that the Phoenix has reappeared,

and she's bound to attract the attention of others.

Why did you let Wei Lingyue slip away from your sight?

Why did you care about

the affairs of a mortal woman?

What...

was wrong with you?

You're awake.

Who are you?

Where am I?

You're truly the Phoneix.

How can a mortal be so calm in this situation?

I'm Mu Nan.

Here

is your home.

You must be mistaken.

I'm Wei Lingyue

from Dayu Minister's Mansion.

Where is this place?

Have you forgotten?

Right.

Life can be hard and bitter,

while time makes people indifferent.

It has been so long

that you have even forgotten who you are,

that...

I can't feel your scent anymore.

This is the Demon Realm.

You can temporarily call me

the Supreme Lord of the Demon Clan.

The Supreme Lord of the Demon Clan?

The Demon Realm?

Don't worry.

No one

can harm you here.

I think you've mistaken me for someone else.

Here.

Where are we going?

You'll know when you get there.

My Lord,

why did you bring me here?

This is the place

where you lived in your previous life.

You don't remember anything at all?

Are you sure

it was me?

Although I can't

fully remember you at the moment,

once you see Huarong,

you'll know everything.

Huarong?

Huarong

is the fragment of the Phoenix's soul

that fell into the flower bud after the Phoenix's fall.

It has been passed down for thousands of years,

waiting for

the reawakening of the Phoenix,

to merge with her

and awaken her once again.

What's this?

Greetings, Saintess.

Why did they call me Saintess?

Because if you are the Phoenix,

then you are

the Saintess of our Demon Realm.

Not only do you have to protect the Demon Realm,

but you also receive admiration from thousands of people.

Me?

Don't worry.

We'll

find the answer soon.

Greetings, Saintess.

Sister.

Don't be afraid.

Just go.

You're not the Phoenix!

You're just

a lowly peacock.

I'm not a peacock.

I'm the Phoenix!

Huarong

will never make a mistake!

Take her away.

Let go of me!

Let go of me! I'm really the Phoenix!

Let go of me!

My Lord.

Please calm down.

A peacock

with such a lowly bloodline

managed to

fool all of us.

This Peacock

was actually the handmaid

of the Phoenix in ancient times.

Wei Lingyue possesses the bloodline of the peacock,

and her performance in the academy is exceptionally outstanding.

It's not surprising

that she could fool everyone.

But,

how could the mere bloodline of a peacock

cause the strange phenomenon

of "Birds paying homage to the Phoenix"?

That day,

she was not the only one

in the final assessment.

You mean...

Have you all heard about it?

There's a message from the palace

that Wei Lingyue was ordered to enter the palace

but went missing on the way.

It's said that the Demon Clan has abducted her.

Demon Clan?

If Master could have

escorted Wei Lingyue to the palace at that time,

such an accident

wouldn't have happened.

-That's right. -Yeah.

But where did Master go?

-Besides, the Demon Clan... -Something's wrong!

-Something's wrong! -What’s wrong?

Something's wrong!

What's wrong?

What's wrong? Just tell us!

Lord Ming has committed suicide out of fear.

And Ming Lang

was also taken away and interrogated by the Imperial Court.

What did you say?

What happened to Ming Lang?

What happened to Lord Ming?

Lord Ming, he...

he...

Just say it!

He hired an assassin to murder Wei Zhi

and her family.

Jingyue.

Wei Zhi!

It's you again.

Why does everything

has something to do with you?

How many people do you intend to implicate?

You jinx!

Wei Jingyue.

The Saint said,

"When faced with unexpected situations, remain calm and composed.

When unjustly insulted for no reason, do not get angry."

I don't want

the sound of the rumors outside

to drown out

the sound of your studying.

From now on,

the Imperial Court will send people to guard the academy.

I will also take turns patrolling

with your teachers

to ensure the safety of the academy.

From now on,

all students

must return to your dorms for self-study.

Understood.

Don't worry, Jingyue.

Let's go.

Originally,

I could have kept you

to serve the Phoenix.

But a lowly peacock like you

dared to have improper thoughts!

What are you doing?

Don't you want to be the Phoenix?

I'll let Huarong

to purify your soul.

Are you trying to burn me to death?

I'm not trying to burn you to death,

but I'm making you bathe in Huarong.

Master?

Are you okay?

It’s really you.

Wei Lingyue

is my student.

Give her back to me,

and I will let bygones be bygones.

If you want to save...

the Phoenix,

I'm afraid it won't be that easy.

Thank you for saving me, Master.

It's my duty

to protect the Phoenix.

The people of the Demon Clan

are often cruel and eccentric.

From now on,

you should be more careful.

Master.

I'm so scared.

What's wrong?

Do you feel uncomfortable?

I just feel

a complete lack of strength.

You must be infected by the demon aura.

Hang in there.

You'll get better when you reach the mortal world.

What‘s wrong with me?

Why am I still anxious?

Master, are you willing to

protect me forever?

Half of my spiritual power was sealed,

but I still managed to win so effortlessly.

Is the Supreme Lord of the Demon Clan

merely a reputation without substance?

Something's off.

It shouldn't be like this.

I've admired you for a long time.

If you don't mind...

Wei Lingyue.

What are you talking about?

Right now, you need to calm your mind

instead of thinking nonsense.

There must be something wrong.

Bastard!

It's all your fault!

Wei Jingyue,

what are you up to this time?

How dare you call my name?

It's all your fault.

Whoever has anything to do with you

will get in trouble!

Previously, you seduced the Master

and threw yourself into his arms.

Now you have used

dirty tricks

to harm Ming Lang!

Don't slander me!

Today,

I'll teach you a lesson!

How dare you fight back?

I think you're looking for death, Wei Zhi.

Go away!

Give me back my bracelet!

No way!

I refuse to give you

even the slightest bit

of what you want,

as you're a despicable woman!

Go to hell!

It's the scent of the Phoenix!

Master!

That's strange.

Why is your hand so hot?

Aren't you cold?

The Phoenix

is Wei Zhi...

Why?

Why her?

Don't force me!

Sister.

You hand is injured.

She bullied you, right?

Who are you?

My father is Minister Wei.

If you dare touch me,

my father won't spare you!

Don't! Please don't kill her.

Fine.

If you say so.

You...

Don't come over.

Sister.

Don't be afraid.

Sister.

Are you

mad at me because

I didn't recognize you before?

Sister!

Don't come over!

Sister.

I just want to take you back, sister.

D-don't come any closer!

Sister!

-I told you to stay away from me. -Sister.

Don't be afraid.

-Listen to me. -Don’t come over.

Sister!

I'm here to take you home.

Help!

Look.

Help!

Isn't that Wei Zhi?

It's that Demon Clan people again.

What are you doing? Don't go there.

But we can't just stand by and ignore the danger she's in!

Well, this...

What should we do?

I'll go save her.

You guys should inform the Dean.

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

What should we do? What now?

Let's go.

Let's go find the Dean!

-Let's go! L-et's go to the Dean!

Sister.

Don't come over.

Sister!

Don't come any closer!

Sister!

Sister.

Sister.

As long as I'm here,

no one can harm you.

I don't even know you.

Don't force me.

Sister!

Stop!

You demon bastard!

Take this and die!

What have you done?

You know

he couldn't hurt you.

Why did you kill him?

Because he called me demon bastard

in front of you.

I know you're not a demon bastard,

but a lunatic!

Sister.

I know you still can't remember me now.

But I don't care about anything else

except you.

Wei Zhi!

Dean.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

Elder Mu?

My name is Jingxiu.

Who are you?

Why did you destroy my academy

and kill my disciple?

Are you that mortal?

Then you should know that

trying to stop me

is like hitting a stone with an egg,

it's suicide.

It's precisely because mortals are slow-witted

that they would sacrifice themselves to seek truth.

Suit yourslef.

Sister.

Let's go.

I'm not coming with you!

You're infinitely resourceful.

Why are you making things difficult for an ordinary student

from our academy?

Why don't you stop now?

An ordinary student?

She's the Phoenix.

The Phoenix?

-The Phoenix? -The Phoenix!

Phoenix.

Pho-phoenix?

Stop talking nonsense.

I'm not the Phoenix at all.

Sister.

Come back with me.

Huarong will make you remember everything.

I won't go with you!

In that case,

no matter what,

I must bring you back.

Demon bastard, you wish!

No way!

Stop!

Don't hurt them.

I'll go with you.

Master! Master!

The Chixiao Sword.

You are the God of Red Sun.

I must take the Phoenix with me today.

The Phoenix

is not something you can covet.

Really?

Today,

let me,

the so-called demon bastard as they say,

to challenge you,

the lofty Divine Lord.

Master! Master!

Master!

Master.

As the mighty Divine Lord,

you're unexpectedly too weak.

Your cultivation has been sealed,

and yet you still dare to fight me?

The Chixiao Sword requires spiritual power to wield.

But now,

there's nothing you can do about it.

Sister.

Princess, run!

Wei Zhi!

Wei Zhi!

Wei Zhi, are you alright?

Where is Master?

How is he?

He...

Master.

Master!

Wei Zhi.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

The Demon Clan's people are on their way here.

It's not safe here.

Let's go to the Devil Realm with me.

Master, I trust him.

Okay.

Let's go!

The Demon Supreme Lord's magic

is powerful and evil.

I'm afraid it has hurt his vitality.

He needs to rest for a long period of time.

Wei Zhi.

Wei Zhi.

Let's go.

We're almost there.

What's this?

It's the bathing pool.

Look how dirty you are,

you need to take a good bath.

I think I'll just go back and fetch some water to wash myself.

No, no, no.

Don't do that.

I'm not peeping.

Besides,

you just wash carefully here,

I'll guard the door for you outside.

Don't worry.

Then I'm more worried.

What's there to worry about?

How about we bathe together?

Just kidding, just kidding.

You've been through so much just now.

You must be tired.

Take a bath and you'll feel better.

Am I right?

Take your time.

I won't peep at all.

Take your time.

I bear heavy responsibility for this matter.

I implore the Heavenly Emperor to punish me severely.

Get up.

Since the Phoenix has appeared,

the Demon Realm must take action.

It concerns the Three Realms,

and more importantly, the future of Yan Yue.

Now,

I'm not going to hold anyone accountable.

I want to

find Yan Yue and the Phoenix

before the Demon Realm gets to them.

I will do my best

to redeem myself.

You mentioned that the God of Mountain reported

their last trace was

near Wuji Mountain.

The Devil Realm has always maintained a high level of secrecy.

You can't enter the realm

unless you find their magic gate.

In that case,

they should still be in the mortal world.

There are countless cliffs

in Wuji Mountain,

and the terrain is complex.

Moreover, I have sealed

half of Yan Yue's spiritual power.

The Phoenix is still weak due to her young age.

They mainly want to avoid

the pursuit of the Supreme Lord of the Demon Clan.

Perhaps they are trapped somewhere.

I'll go investigate it immediately.

Fine.

You must be extra cautious

during the search.

Don't disturb the Devil Realm

or hurt the mortals.

As for that Demon Clan,

let's not

confront with them now.

Understood.

Ou Ya.

You're awake?

Where's Wei Zhi?

She...

Master.

She's so pretty.

Wei Zhi, are you alright?

I didn't expect that I'm truly the Phoenix.

Master, what should I do?

Don't think too much for now.

There are many things you need to gradually adapt to.

The most important thing now

is your safety.

Ou Ya.

Where are we?

We're in the Wolf Cave in the Devil Realm.

Devil Realm?

The Devil Realm

has always remained indifferent to the conflicts between Immortals and Demons.

What's your intention to the Phoenix

in bringing us here?

What?

I'm the Prince of the Wolf Clan in the Devil Realm.

What intentions could I

possibly have towards the Phoenix?

If I can get a mature Phoenix's

tail feather,

it has the potential to change the situation of our Devil Clan,

where females are scarce

and bloodlines are weak.

Ou Ya.

Are you out of your mind?

How dare you bring people to the Devil Realm?

I mean...

Non-devil beings

are not permitted to enter the Devil Realm

If the Devil King finds out,

you will be punished.

If we don't say anything,

who would know?

What do you mean?

She's not an ordinary mortal.

In less than three days,

everyone in the Three Realms will know that

a big bird has gone missing.

And by that time, the Demon Clan people will come here.

Are you trying to get us killed?

Well, I mean, Wei Zhi...

Don't listen to her.

Indeed, the Devil Clan is relatively weak.

But the problem is,

the Heaven Realm and the Demon Realm have been fighting for so many years,

and neither side can defeat the other.

So the Devil Clan's attitude

suddenly becomes so important.

Whichever side we support

will be the winner, right?

So, the Heaven and Demon Realms

have formed an agreement,

that prohibits either side

from intruding into the Devil Realm without a valid reason.

So our Devil Realm

is the safest place.

You can rest assured of that.

Where's the Devil King's prohibition then?

Prohibition?

What's that?

The Devil King has ordered that

all devils

should not get involved with the Phoenix.

Are you enchanted or something?

I...

I'll go tell the Devil King right now.

It's not like that!

Lan Su. Lan Su, Lan Su!

L-Lan Su.

Are you really going to tell the Devil King?

If something bad

were to happen to me,

wouldn't you be worried?
