[The Inextricable Destiny]

[Episode 25]

Ren Yinxiao,

we've already recaptured Wutu City.

Do you still plan on staying here?

You are a defeated general who can't even guard a city.

Once we block the necessary route back to Xunnan,

you'll have nowhere to retreat.

Then,

you can only stay in Nanjiang as a war slave for the rest of your life.

Since,

even the remaining Wutu has been taken by you,

I don't want Nanjiang either.

Whether Xunnan soldiers are inferior,

or Jialin are divinely helped, it doesn't matter.

But

someone

has to pay the price for this.

Before returning to Xunnan,

I want to kill someone to offer to Heaven

to calm the spirits of dead Xunnan warriors.

It's Advisor Rong. How did Advisor Rong get captured?

General He, congratulations.

You stepped on my land and killed my soldiers.

Now you insult my military advisor.

Yes, so what?

How can we bear such a humiliation?

We will fight to death to save Advisor Rong.

Let's go.

Come back.

The only thing you have to do

is to guard Nanjiang City well.

Since you took Wutu,

I'll kill the person you least want to lose.

Thanks to the Emperor.

Your Majesty didn't punish the Astrology Pavilion for treason,

and spared the life of Rong Yu's only relative.

But I have decided to kill myself to apologize long ago.

Today,

every inch of the land has been returned to Jialin.

Every story

has reached its conclusion.

It's time for me

to comfort the country with my blood.

Don't be sad for me.

At least,

I will not be killed by others.

Otherwise, it will humiliate Jialin.

Withdraw.

No.

[Nanjiang City]

From now on, she will be your little sister.

As her senior brother, you need to take good care of her. Understand?

Let's eat some fried scorpions.

In the master's absence, we'll just have to settle for this.

Thank you, Senior brother. You eat first.

- Senior brother. - Here.

Delicious.

Alright, don't be sad.

I descended the mountain to become the most formidable and powerful person.

You are already very good now.

Why do you want to become a person like that?

Because only in this way

can I protect the most important ones.

I'll leave now.

Enough. Stop.

Jiuling.

He Jiuling, he's dead.

Is it worth it for you to die for him?

If he lives, I can die.

If he dies,

I must die with him.

Jiuling.

Even if it's a corpse,

I have to bring him home in a decent way.

We can't live together,

but we can die together.

Little sister.

If you knew this would happen,

why did you start it in the first place?

Let's go.

Rong Yu.

♫ A flower blooms only for you ♫

♫ My tears and worries are only for you ♫

Rong Yu.

♫ My longings, promising the next life ♫

♫ For you, I'd go wild and stay ♫

Rong Yu.

This time, I will bring you home.

Rong Yu.

♫ The realm is still there ♫

Rong Yu.

I-I'm

sorry for

what happened to the H-He family.

♫ Lend me a wish of a lifetime ♫

Rong Yu.

I don't blame you.

Did you hear me?

I don't blame you.

♫ The old faces return to be with you ♫

♫ The old faces return to be with you ♫

Young master.

Previously, my master gave him a rejuvenation pill.

It should be able to suppress it for a while.

Doctor, I have a lot of medicines here.

There are Qi-condensing ones, blood-supplementing ones and

ones for unclogging the meridians.

I-I have a lot of others.

We should give it a try. It might work.

Rong Yu, open your mouth.

But it is too long since he took the poison.

Even if the poison has been forced out,

there is no way to restore the damage in his body.

Even the best medicine can't help.

Your Majesty, I've tried my best.

Try to think of other ways.

You must bring him back to life.

Otherwise, I will punish you. I will punish you all.

Your Majesty, it's not that I'm not skilled in medicine.

It's really that his body is severely injured.

Old injuries have not healed yet and new ones have followed.

There's really no way, Your Majesty.

Then tell me. How many days can he live?

Even if he is kept alive with the best medicine,

it won't be more than ten days.

Rong Yu is injured like this. You have to live.

You have to treat yourself first.

Yes, I have to live.

I have to live to save him.

You were born with an odd early aging disease. When normal people live for ten years,

you may have already lived your whole life.

Five years ago, everyone thought your disease had been cured.

Actually, you survived on a medical worm.

I used my life's greatest skills.

to make a medicine called Pipa Zui.

As long as this medical worm is in your body,

whether it's strange or serious disease or external injuries,

as long as it doesn't harm the fundamentals,

Pipa Zui will repair it at the fastest speed.

It is me who had you back this time.

Should I thank you?

Do you know

why I went to Hanshan temple?

I don't know and I don't want to know.

And this time I had you back

because Rong Yu is very ill.

He needs you.

Hypocrisy.

Every time Rong Yu got hurt is because of you.

You are the disaster of Rong Yu,

the disaster of the Rong family.

It's me.

I failed him.

If not for me,

he would have no will to live.

But this is even more painful than

killing me.

He is torturing my heart.

He Jiuling,

kill me.

Kill me.

Kill me.

Yes,

I should kill you.

My family was framed by you.

I shouldn't let any one behind this go.

But I can't kill you,

and I definitely won't forgive you.

This puts an end to our grievances.

I have failed my family.

I am ashamed to see my father, brothers, sister-in-laws

and my unborn nephew.

After I die,

I will confess my sins to them.

In the future,

protect Rong Yu like before.

Don't do anything to make him sad again.

This is my only request.

Hurry.

Hurry. This way.

Come on. This way.

Yes.

[To Zhanping]

Zhanping, Heshan, I've left to search for medicines.

I will return within five days. Wait for me.

He's here.

Xiao.

Master.

Take the token

back.

I won't come to Xunnan again.

Does Master want to scold me?

I have already scolded you.

It's just that I feel ashamed.

In the past over ten years,

you didn't learn how to let go.

Let go?

When your mother sent you to Mount Wuhua to become my disciple,

she did not want you to kill so many people

and then sit here alone.

She wanted you to escape from the place where people are killed without a second thought.

She wanted you to grow up more carefree and happier than your brothers.

But you didn't understand her.

I have never forgotten to become the king

to avenge for the two of you.

Although you were always smiling,

you never had a happy day

on Mount Wuhua.

Now that things have come to this,

are you happy?

Did you truly feel happy

when you and Jiuling became enemies?

Master, Master, I don't want to learn how to extract medicinal insects.

Poison him. Soften his bones. Replace his blood.

Keep him not eating or drinking for several days.

Then you can remove the medicinal insects.

How can a person live like this?

They might not be able to live.

I haven't tried before.

First, boil a thick soup with nine insects, nine herbs and nine poisons.

Have the person take it.

Wait until the person's bones

are as if they were smashed by a heavy hammer,

and then use your martial skills to make his meridians flow in reverse.

It is dangerous and must not be disturbed by outsiders, otherwise…

The final battle in Nanjiang

was settled after Wutu was taken by Jialin.

Who would have thought that the King of Xunnan would be so embarrassed and angry

that he wanted to kill our military adviser, the Star-picking Master, to offer to Heaven.

The ghost-faced general on his horse

charged into the army of ten thousand enemies.

It was like water entering the vast ocean or meat offering to a group of beasts.

There seems no return for him.

Just at this most critical moment,

the sky cracked and a golden dragon descended.

With one roar, Xunnan army was so frightened that they discarded the armor and helmets.

They were trembling and yelling for the saint to forgive them.

It turns out that the person who always wore the ghost mask,

is the Emperor of Jialin,

Cheng'an.

Your Majesty.

From now on,

you are not only the ghost-faced general in Nanjiang,

but also the ghost-faced emperor of Jialin.

Just pretend that the person who made a pact with you to live and die together,

never existed.

Since I'm destined to leave,

please allow me to decide for myself,

to add this merit,

to the person I've sworn to be loyal to.

I have been confused all my life.

The only thing I've accomplished

is to be utterly loyal to Jialin and die for it.

Fortunately, at least in this regard,

I didn't disappoint my father and brothers.

Did you all know?

Did she order you to hide the truth

before she left

just to give me a glory that doesn't belong to me

to stabilize this country?

So what if they saw it?

- Sister. - Even if many people saw it,

as long as we want,

the person behind the ghost mask,

can be anyone.

- No. - You are the Emperor.

You should understand her intentions in this letter.

Yu.

Yu.

Yu.

Yu.

Quickly. Ask the Imperial Physician to come.

Quickly!

What is this?

Amnesia Powder.

Senior brother,

why did you make this?

Sometimes, love

is too burdensome.

When you have no choice,

you may need it.

This is the third time

I stay here.

The first time is

when you were poisoned.

I stayed here for three days and three nights.

But I don't know why,

I just felt

you would definitely be fine.

You

would definitely get better.

Back then,

I was not so worried.

I'm just angry.

I want

to destroy everything

to protect you.

The second time is

when you were severely burned.

I could not stay with you

like before.

My heart then

was even more exhausted than my body.

In a sudden,

I-I felt that I had collapsed.

I didn't want to do anything.

I was unwilling to do anything.

This is the third time.

I-I

feel

that I won't be able to stay with you.

I don't know

whether you can hear me.

However,

you probably don't want to listen to me.

I have always

thought we

relied on each other for life.

We could never bear to part from each other.

But now it seems

we are more

like nemesis.

Let past grievances go.

Let past grievances go.

Make way.

Make way.

Princess.

It's so cold.

Why is it so cold in the capital?

The hand-warmer can't help.

I should have stayed in my comfortable house.

Why did I wait for Master Yuanhui

to go to Qingcheng Temple?

Are you alright, Princess?

What's happening?

Princess.

Something serious happened, Princess.

Princess.

Be careful, Princess.

It wasn't me.

It's the old woman who suddenly ran into the horse.

The horse was startled

and got her severely injured.

There's blood.

Isn't it plain to see?

The winter in the capital is unbearable.

As soon as they see a wealthy person, they try to swindle money.

They even specifically chose this road to Qingcheng Temple,

hoping to meet some naive and wealthy pilgrim.

However, I…

Why are you grabbing my clothes?

- I… - Let go.

Let go.

Chu.

There's no naive wealthy pilgrim.

But every pilgrim is willing to accumulate good karma.

Princess.

C-Could

you

please go

as fast as you can…

♫ Under the setting sun in dusk ♫

♫ I travel far for thousands of miles ♫

♫ Playing the zither under the moonlight ♫

♫ Just like the strongest wine ♫

♫ There's no escape for destiny ♫
