Novoland: The Castle In the Sky

- Episode 02 -

First, stop crying, alright? Be good and listen.

I'll find someone to take care of you.

This is a Corroding Bone's Nail. It will move through your blood and then bond itself with your 8 major pulses.

If you have any romantic thoughts, you will suffer the agony of a thousand knives, ten thousand cuts,

bone corroding, heart-piercing pain.

I swear, as long as I live,

I will serve as an elder brother and protect Yi Fuling.

Otherwise, I'll suffer the pain of a thousand knives, ten thousand cuts, bones corroding and piercing heart.

My Imperial Crown will be dashed to the ground and I'll be utterly isolated

to remain... remain alone until death.

Ling'er, you go rest. I'll come and see you tomorrow.

Brother Tingjun!

Every day, a flogging of 7 lashes, continuing for 7 days,

for a total of 49 lashes.

Teacher. I beg Teacher

to allow me to bear them for her.

I've already decided.

Don't say anything more. Leave.

Your Highness, Crown Prince,

these two needles were taken from them.

They were the guards at the entrance of the competition site yesterday.

Such a finely made stealth weapon.

Who can make these here in Stars Court?

What do you want? I, Yu Huanzheng, is Stars Court's

worst student. I don't have anything of worth with me.

Bai Tingjun?

Can you explain?

Miss Yi was faithful to me. It was I who wronged her.

Was it Feng Tianyi who told you to act?

If your good conscience is still intact,

then come with me to Teacher Yinchi and tell him the truth.

Clear Miss Yi's name.

This is...

Senior Brother, this is our court's disciple, Yu Huanzheng.

Yu Huanzheng respectfully greets Teacher.

Tingjun, is this the culprit you were talking about?

Indeed.

Yu Huanzheng, hurry and tell Teacher the truth.

Reporting to Teacher, Miss Yi is indeed innocent.

She did it because I fooled her by saying she could see Bai Tingjun if she did.

This all started with me. It was me who deliberately tricked Miss Yi.

That's not what you said earlier!

I didn't tell you anything earlier.

You wanted me to come here to tell the truth. So, I came.

You!

I'm just a dog of the Emperor.

This Yu Huanzheng is putting up this weak appearance.

He must have been forced by Feng Tianyi, that's why he spoke those words.

Fine. Why must I let another person get hurt because of me?

Yi Fuling, were the words said by Yu Huanzheng earlier all true?

No, Court Leader. Yu Huanzheng and I met by chance once.

But because he's kind-hearted and doesn't want me to suffer,

he's claiming to be involved in this matter.

I know that my martial arts are inferior.

That's why I stole his Ring of Flying Light and struck down the guards with it so I could get in the forbidden area.

These... were all my mistakes. I'm willing to bear everything by myself.

Ling'er, what are you saying?

Men, continue to lock up Yi Fuling.

- Tomorrow, we'll carry out the Seven Star Offering Flogging Punishment.- Yes!

Teacher... You must not, Teacher!

Why? I only had one chance encounter with you?

Since we can't catch the real culprit, Feng Tianyi, why should I let another person suffer?

Ling'er, do you know how harsh the punishment will be? You will die.

No matter how harsh it is, I've decided to bear it.

Teacher!

Yi Fuling entering the Stars Court was my idea.

If there's any one who has committed a crime, it's me. My crime is way heavier than hers.

If Teacher wishes to punish, then just punish me instead.

Bai Tingjun!

Making a scene like this, how are you any different from a ruffian in the marketplace?

If Teacher Yu can't abide hurting Bai Tingjun,

then let me handle him for you.

Prince!

- You evil monster!- Prince!

Brother Tingjun, don't be like this for me.

This whip was given to me by my father when I was 10 years old.

It's exterior is golden jade, the interior is soft iron.

Using it to carry out this punishment won't embarrass the mighty name of the Stars Court.

- Your Majesty, Wingkind Emperor!- Your Majesty, Wingkind Emperor!

Do you plan to disregard the agreement between the two Kinds?

Your Majesty, Wingkind Emperor, you also secretly had a romantic encounter with Miss Yi.

Who really ordered her to sneak into the forbidden area?

Romantic encounter? Are you referring to how this stinky girl up and kissed me for no reason at all?

If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten.

What did you say?

Do you want me to tell you with a lot more details?

Brother Tingjun, don't listen to him speak this rubbish.

Be silent, all of you! Those persons not involved, get out of the way.

Start the punishment!

Teacher! Don't! Feng Tianyi! Teacher, don't!

Today, I'm going to correct this bad habit of yours

of being reckless just for a girl!

Feng Tianyi, you dare?!

I'm just establishing the Stars Court's might.

Your Majesty, Wingkind Emperor. Your Majesty, Wingkind Emperor. I beg you, don't hit her anymore.

Yu Huanzheng, you're just one of my dogs. You dare to stop me?!

Teacher! Teacher! Let Yi Fuling go.

And if I won't allow her?

Then you're going against the whole of Humankind!

How dare you! Kneel down!

Kneel!

Bai Tinjun, usually you're a rational person,

but today, you dare to actually speak words of sedition?!

What do you mean by, "going against Humankind"?

My Stars Court is the trust held by both the Humankind and the Wingkind.

You dare to challenge this Stars Court publicly?

Then that's going against the whole Lan continent.

Do you admit your mistake?

I admit my mistake.

It's good that you admitted your mistake.

Reporting to Teacher, the 7 lashes have been administered.

Alright.

Making a move by using a female, what kind of hero are you?!

If you have time to bark furiously here,

how about turning around and kneeling before me.

Maybe I'll lay the 7 strokes lighter tomorrow.

Take Yi Fuling back to the cell.

Yes.

Master has a sharp tongue, but a soft heart.

These 7 lashes

are inferior to the 2 lashes that Bai Tingjun suffered earlier.

Prince, please think about it again.

I know this matter of breaking into the prison isn't a small thing,

but Feng Tianyi has already forced me to a place of no retreat.

Each stroke that Ling'er suffered, seems to have been struck in my own heart.

Prince said it right.

Our Humankind mustn't be stepped on by the Wingkind like this.

Tonight then, I have to trouble you brothers.

I... thank everyone.

We promise to accompany Prince until death!

Is anyone there? Is anyone there?

Master asked me to bring her food.

Food? Aren't we suppose to let her starve for a day?

Miss Yi, I will definitely get you out.

- Your Majesty.- Why are you looking for me?

It's concerning Bai Tingjun's camp. They already made plans to break into the prison tonight.

You think I wouldn't have already guessed such a small thing?

But Bai Tingjun will never have thought

that the one who will betray him is his best buddy.

Miss Yi! Miss Yi! Miss Yi!

Wake up! Wake up!

- Huanzheng...- What did you say?

Water...

Wait for me. I'll immediately let you out.

Huanzheng!

This... What's going on?

All of you, stay here. I'll check on what's happening.

Prince, please be careful.

Ling'er!

Ling'er! Ling'er! Are you alright? Get back!

Yu Huanzheng? Hurry and come up with an idea.

You really have a lot of guts.

You still have the face to come here?

If you've got time to argue with me, how about spending more of it caring about that stinky girl's plight.

If not for you, how would she have ended up like this?

It stopped!

Ling'er! Ling'er!

Master, I...

You have quite the nerve.

Ling'er, I will still think of other ways.

Hold on, okay?

We're in trouble. Let's go.

If this door closes, it can't be opened form the inside.

Bai Tingjun, let's get out first.

What time is it already? Do you still have time for sweet-talking?

Let's go! Let's leave first and discuss this again later. Let's go!

- Ling'er.- Let's go!

- Ling'er! Ling'er!- Let's go!

Teacher...

You did quite well. Disobeying your teacher's order. Breaking into a forbidden place. Heroes trying to save the beauty.

Looks like all of you don't give any importance to me anymore.

I only happened to bump into their plan of breaking in to save the prisoner. Teacher, don't misunderstand.

But you still shouldn't have sneaked into the forbidden chamber.

Bai Tingjun, you really disappointed me. Lock them all up!

All will be punished by kneeling the whole night in the commandment room.

I can see that you're quite knowledgeable about gear puzzles.

How are we supposed to open that prison of Ling'er?

Looks like we need Master.

Master?

The person who can make such a precise prison

can only be that genius from 20 years ago, Stars Court's Elder, Jishu.

Jishu? How come I've never heard his name despite being here at Stars Court for so many years?

Elder Jishu was previously exiled from the Court due to a commoner woman.

From then on, he disappeared off the face of the Lan continent.

Afterwards, even his famous gadgets were branded as forbidden items by the Stars Court.

I also expended a lot of effort before I was able to steal two of his books from a Jianghu person.

You fellows are really in quite a good mood.

Being able to be high-spirited and talking non-stop while undergoing punishment.

Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Stop moving already!

The Three Connected Rings are really like that. They will tighten the more you move about.

Teacher is really biased.

Why must he lock me up with the two of you who tried to break into a prison?

Bai Tinjun turn your head around and look

at what's written on the second wall painting from the right.

Hey! Hey! If you want to move, don't move alone. The three of us should move together on the count of 3.

Come, 1, 2, 3, up.

Stop. Stars Court Rule No. 58:

"If a commoner disciple wants to enter the court to learn,

he must enter the Floating Jade Mountain Ridge alone to train.

A person who can safely exit the Floating Jade Mountain Ridge can be made an exception and be accepted."

What do you mean by this?

A person like you who keeps saying the name Ling'er so sweetly is even inferior to

this one she calls an evil monster during crucial times like this.

Why did Yi Fuling end up in this situation? Isn't it all because of the people of Stars Court?

Once she gets through the training at Floating Jade Mountain Ridge,

isn't everything that happened in the past forgotten?

Floating Jade Mountain Ridge is guarded by the Flame Core Machine Armor.

It is a very dangerous place.

For hundreds of years, no one has been able to leave the Floating Jade Mountain Ridge.

You're just sending her to her death.

Then is it possible for her to survive receiving 49 lashes?

One is hopeless while the other offers a slim chance to survive.

If you can think of another way, then you go save your little sister Fuling yourself.

Anyway, it will be morning soon.

Someone will be flogged again.

You!

Ling'er, it's me who failed you.

Brother Tingjun, don't say it like that.

If there's anyone to blame, just blame that evil monster then.

It's the second day of the Seven Star Offering Flogging Punishment. Continue then.

You blame me anyway, then I won't hold back.

You try hitting her again!

No matter if it will be me who flogs her or not,

she surely will be bearing these 49 lashes.

But it's just right, my hands are a little painful today.

Yu Huanzheng!

You do it.

I?

Have you forgotten the must-follow rule of the elite club?

Any orders of the club leader, you cannot disobey.

Yu Huanzheng!

If these 49 lashes continue, Ling'er will surely die tragically.

I must think of a way to save her.

No. I can't do it. I really can't do it.

Luolin, listen well.

Take these back to Shuang City. My 700 personal soldiers will listen to your command.

- Is Prince planning to...?- Yes.

Even if I have to lose the hundred years purpose of Stars Court and my royal throne,

I must get Ling'er out.

I know that Prince is kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see Ms. Yi suffer.

But the Stars Court position in Lan continent is above any others. If Prince will do this just because of an outsider--

She's not an outsider. She's the person I care about the most in this life.

Even if I am destroyed, I will not hesitate.

He's really quite a hopeless romantic.

Luolin, you did very well.

Thank you, Wingkind Emperor, for your praise.

Men!

You deserve all of these.

Thank you, Wingkind Emperor.

You seemed to have continued wearing that thing.

I saw that this thing was made quite detailed, that's why--

You're completely wrong.

Too bad that being with Bai Tingjun for so long,

you never really have seen what good things are.

How about this? Leave this thing to me for now.

I'll order the Manufacturing Sector of the Wingkind to make you a new one.

Based on this, using gold and precious gems.

Thank you, Wingkind Emperor.

Can you read this?

It's fine even if you can't talk. It's enough that you can hear me.

Say, this Bai Tingjun is someone who has seen much of life, too.

But how come he's so in love with a stinky girl like you?

For you, he contradicted Teacher, and broke into the prison, but this time, it's worse.

He directly plans to raise his army against Stars Court.

- You don't believe me?- That can't be.

Brother Tingjun is a very steady fellow. He definitely would not do this kind of thing.

You're right, too. Anyway, in your heart, I'm just an evil monster.

Maybe this letter is something that I faked.

But what about this tiger figure with a missing tail?

Petty kid! Petty kid! Come catch me!

Ling'er! Don't run!

Are you alright? Were you hurt?

- Are you fine?- How dare you! Do you know what this is?

Shut up!

But you might not know what's at stake in this.

If he will really revolt because of you, the punishment can't be just as simple as flogging or confinement. This way is simple.

According to Stars Court law, he as a Humankind Crown Prince has provoked war.

The punishment for this kind of major event is beheading.

Do you feel anxious? But if you're willing to listen to me,

I have another way to help you.

Young master, Miss Yi has been released.

She and Feng Tianyi went together to meet Court Leader.

Feng Tianyi? It's not good.

Many thanks, Court Leader.

Quickly get up.

Ling'er, you can't go!

Brother Tingjun.

Ling'er, listen to me. I've already thought of a way.

What way you have?

Don't you want me to expose your plan to the Court Leader?

Master, Disciple Shu was disrespectful.

Ling'er, let's go.

I'm not going. I've already made a petition to Court Leader.

Three days from now, I'll be going into the Floating Jade Mountain Ridge to receive training. Court Leader has already agreed to it.

You will die.

- I'm not afraid. - Ling'er.

Brother Tingjun, please you have to believe me. Okay?

You have already done so much for me.

This time, I want to use my own strength.

I will join the Stars Court to become your fellow student.

Miss Yi, I admire your courage.

If you can leave Floating Jade Mountain Ridge safely, everything that happened in the past will be forgotten.

Moreover, I can also personally teach you your martial arts.

Many thanks, Court Leader.

Your Majesty, why... why did we come here?

Have you heard of the Star Cycle Wheel?

So this is the Star Cycle Wheel?

The center of the cycle wheel is based on the nine days stars; to move the rotation is the rule of the rotation.

These three small wheels control the outer plate.

They, indeed, affect the whole body once it's closed.

It is going to be impossible to open from the outside!

The design made by our ancestors is amazing!

I never would have thought that I can actually personally see this!

What's the point of just seeing it?

Tomorrow, Teacher will open this Star Cycle Wheel

to let Yi Fuling enter the world. Other people cannot enter.

Based on Yi Fuling's ability, how can that contraption be defeated?

Unless you are able to break the Wheel and let Yi Fuling escape.

Okay.

But... I don't think I can do this.

The word "cannot" does not exist in my dictionary.

I've taken note of your talent in solving gear puzzles.

I believe that this little Star Wheel won't be hard for you.

Little Star Wheel...?

Your Majesty, you're flattering me too much. Since Your Majesty wants to help Ms. Yi. Then beforehand--

Do you know what you need to be careful of if you want to stay in the elite club?

Talk less and act more.

You just have to know that I've waited for this chance for a long time.

For this matter, you're only allowed to succeed.

Star Flower Deity Amulet, I'll finally be able to get you.

Brother Tingjun, don't worry.

How can I not worry?

Here. I have the Ring of Flying Light that Huanzheng gave me.

Where's Huanzheng?

Since that is the case,

then I'll give you a gift, too.

What are you doing?

Get away!

B*tch, this is going to be the last time we see each other anyway.

Treat this kiss as my farewell.

Shut up!

Are you alright?

The time has come!

Yi Fuling, you can go in now.

Brother Tingjun, wait for my return.

Ling'er.

Ling'er...

Later, once Teacher Yinchi has gone, I'll let you out.

We'll just wait for Yi Fuling's good news.

Evil monster! Hoodlum! Scum!

Do you think I'd trust you ever again?

Previously, the method of ingesting was wrong. This time it will definitely work.

Ling'er! That was Ling'er's voice.

What's going on?
