I'll drink

One last sip!

I must defeat bai xuelu!

I will defeat bai xuelu

And stay here.

You actually

Wanted to be my first disciple

Even when you're dreaming?

Why am I all tied-up?

Cultivating hall?

(Last night,)

(I was going to kiss master indirectly.)

(After that, I was hugging him.)

(He became the white beast again.)

(Oh no.)

(What happened last night?)

Master white.

Just drink up, master white.

This is called indirect kissing.

Stop.

Oh no.

This is so embarrassing.

He's not going to silence me, is he?

No, I have to escape.

This is great.

Priest.

Where are you going?

I

First, I skipped

The exam yesterday.

Second, I ignored the lesson.

Third, I hurt my classmate.

Fourth, I indulged myself in alcohol.

Fifth, I disrespected my master.

I'm a heinous sinner.

You can punish me however you want.

Just don't chase me off the mountain.

Of course, I will punish you.

Didn't you say you wanted to become

My first disciple last night?

Not at all!

I said something wrong

After I got drunk.

I didn't know my own place.

I still have a long way to go.

I want you to look into my eyes.

Don't think of anything else.

Just listen to your heart

And tell me.

Do you wish to be my first disciple?

I

Do.

Very good.

Since you're sincere,

Let us give this a try.

Priest,

Are you encouraging me

To be your disciple?

I'm not encouraging you.

I'm giving you a reminder.

The skill difference between

You and bai xuelu is too far apart.

If you truly wish to catch up

To her from the back,

You will face unimaginable difficulties.

And, I won't be lenient toward you.

I will only keep a closer eye on you

And keep testing you.

Can you endure that?

I'm willing to give it a try.

All right. It depends on

Your performance now.

Thank you, priest.

Thank you, priest.

After all I've done to prevent it,

I still saw the scene

That I didn't want to see.

You actually let her

Spend the night in the hall

And encouraged her

To be your first disciple?

Right now, I have four

First disciple candidates.

Qing g*ng has a mission to accomplish.

Bai xueying doesn't want to study.

The only ones who truly wish to study

Are zhu yan and bai xuelu.

And bai xuelu

Is the candidate chosen by high priest.

Taking her as my disciple

Is just the first step

Of high priest's plan.

He's treading carefully

And wants bai xuelu

To be my first disciple

So that he can force me

To return to jialan one day.

I see.

So, you have no choice,

And you don't want to

Be manipulated by high priest.

That's why you can only

Put your hopes on zhu yan

And hope that she becomes

Your first disciple.

The most important attribute

I see before I take them in as

My first disciple is their heart.

Most people

Use magic techniques

To get their ways.

For example, bai xuelu.

She only wants power.

Only zhu yan

Is sincere in learning.

I still think that it's inappropriate.

For you and her.

I've thought about it.

If the situation I'm worried about

Does happen in the future,

I shall face them together with her.

If that's the case,

It's almost impossible for zhu yan

To be your first disciple.

Although she doesn't have

A solid foundation,

She's not afraid of setbacks,

And she can think on her feet

And overcome ordeals.

I thought to myself

That a miracle might happen.

If so, I shall look forward to it.

God of dragon.

Yuan, if one day,

The god of dragon loses its control

While waking up

From its slumber,

You must stay away from it.

(Father of merfolk zhi yuan)

Because us from the side branch

With the dragon lineage

Will be summoned by

The true dragon lineage.

However,

We will be suppressed by it.

It will endanger our lives.

(Huangquan waterfall, jiuyi mountain)

(God of dragon,)

(I, zhi yuan, the merfolk,)

(Have answered your call.)

Darned xingzun

And kongsang people.

God of dragon,

What can I do for you?

I'm going to head out there

And k*ll all kongsang people,

Especially the six clas

That followed xingzun to trap me here.

None of them will escape!

God of dragon!

God of dragon!

God of dragon!

God of dragon

Harbors deep hatred

For kongsang people,

The world will change

When he wakes up from his slumber.

I'm afraid it would only take a moment

For it to happen.

And, the six clans

Have to face his wrath.

If that happens,

I'm afraid only the dragon blood jade

Can save princess zhu yan.

How could I think of it that way?

Princess,

I hope you will learn something

In jiuyi mountain

So that you could protect yourself

In the future.

Priest is going to teach us

Wind-manipulating spell

At the star gazing plaza.

Before this, it was only theory.

This time, it's a battle practice.

What a shame.

Those who had committed mistakes

Can only withstand

Their punishments here.

Stop right there!

Yan!

Yan.

I'll stay here and help you out.

Me too.

No need for that.

You guys can head to class.

I'll help you out after class then.

Go now. Don't be late.

Although I miss the chance

To listen to priest's teaching,

I can practice the chant

For a hundred times.

Wind, obey my will!

Wind, obey my will!

(Why don't i)

(Use the chant of

Wind-manipulating spell)

(And give it a try?)

Wind, obey my will!

Wind, obey my will!

Halt!

Halt!

Halt!

Princess zhu yan, you do

Live up to your name

As the lousiest student indeed.

You can't even

Control a mere leaf.

That's all for today.

Please practice

After heading back.

Priest, thank you for your teaching.

We shall take our leaves.

Priest,

I followed the book's instruction

And recited the chant perfectly.

But why can't I do it?

What is that the case?

You've already learned its theory.

Next,

It depends on your enlightenment.

I will demonstrate it

To you once.

Observe closely.

Okay.

I created wind-manipulating spell

After sweeping the bottom

Of the emperor valley daily.

Actually,

I cannot control the leaves

By themselves.

I control it through observing

The wind's direction

And borrowing its strength.

Try to imitate what I've done

And observe closely.

Your shoulders mustn't be too tense.

If you're not relaxed,

You won't feel the wind.

Again.

Stop.

Raise your hand.

This side too.

Relax your shoulders.

Again.

Zhu yan,

What were you thinking?

I

When you feel,

You need to use

The five aggregates and six senses

To feel.

Why didn't you observe the wind?

Observe the wind?

Can wind even be seen?

Remember this.

Wind has life too.

It's ever-changing,

Yet predictable.

When you reach a certain level,

You'll be able to see it.

I feel like I understood something,

Yet I don't.

All right, time's up.

I've used

The same amount of time

To teach you and the others.

As for the rest, you can

Figure them out yourself.

You're leaving already?

Priest, I haven't mastered it yet!

How do I observe the wind?

You did it!

Yan, you're amazing.

One month is up.

Today,

We shall choose

The first disciple for priest.

This disciple

Shall be the 287th first disciple

Of jiuyi mountain.

Aye.

After one month of training,

There are four candidates

Who have the right

To contest for the position.

(Bai xuelu)

Bai xuelu, 15 points.

Qing g*ng, 12 points.

Zhu yan, eight points.

And bai xueying, five points.

Those whose names are called

Shall duel each other.

Qing g*ng.

I've already received a military order.

I have to leave the mountain today.

I, qing g*ng, forfeit.

Permission granted.

Bai xuelu.

Bai xueying.

I'm unskilled.

I'm afraid I cannot

Bear the responsibility.

Please pardon me for forfeiting.

Permission granted.

Zhu yan.

Priest.

Princess zhu yan,

Do you have anything to say?

No.

I'm willing to duel princess xuelu.

She doesn't know her own place at all.

How dare she

Sister,

Didn't father tell us

To leave the mountain in advance

And avoid dueling each other?

But now, the situation

Isn't under my control.

If I forfeit now,

Zhu yan will win without contesting.

But

If the first disciple was chosen

Because everyone else has forfeited,

I'm afraid

Jiuyi mountain and priest

Would be disgraced

When people hear about this.

Yan is no match for you.

You must go easy on her.

Do not hurt her.

Don't worry.

I know my limits.

I won't harm your bestie,

Princess zhu yan.

These are the rules.

The person

Who can push the other off the stage

Or render her unable to fight

Before the alarm rings

Will be the victor.

If no one is victorious

When the alarm rings,

The person with the higher points wins.

The match begins now.

(She actually improved this much?)

(No, I need to win.)

Why can't yan move her hands?

This artifact

Contains the power of frost.

It counters the crimson clan.

Why would she have that?

Sister!

You promised me

You won't go too harsh on her!

Yan, you should admit defeat!

(Remember,)

(Wind has life too.)

(It's ever-changing,)

(Yet predictable.)

(When you reach a certain level,

You'll be able to see it.)

A desperate struggle.

What a joke.

Ride the cloud

And soar through the sky!

Princess zhu yan actually mastered

The cloud ascension spell?

That's the best wind magic techniques

One could learn.

Your supreme majesty,

Please allow this competition

To be held fairly.

The match is over.

From today onward,

Priest will take zhu yan

As his first disciple.

As for the other students,

The semester has ended.

Please pack your belongings

And prepare to leave the mountain.

I shall obey.

Bai xuelu.

I don't need your pity.

(Zuowang palace)

High priest, please

Give me one more chance.

Before this, you said confidently

That zhu yan

Was no match for you.

Since you couldn't keep your promise,

You should return

And hone your temper.

Your supreme majesty,

I've let you down.

I'll definitely reflect upon my actions

When I head back.

I shall obey high priest's commands.

However, zhu yan once forfeited

The exam in the star gazing plaza.

A person like her

Has become the first disciple

Of jiuyi mountain.

I'm afraid

The public might not be convinced.

You don't need

To worry about that.

Leave now.

High priest.

You once said you didn't want

To call him your master

In the star gazing plaza, right?

High priest, please pardon me.

I said that brazenly

As I didn't know about

The height of the mountain.

Now, I know how tall it is.

Its peak is unattainable,

Just like the path to mastering

Magic techniques.

I've decided to train here.

Please let that be

Water under the bridge.

You don't need to be so fearful.

Since you've defeated

All your opponents,

You've earned the right

To become the priest's first disciple.

I just want

To give you a reminder.

From now on, you must

Practice caution with your words.

Yes, high priest.

However, you need

To memorize the disciple commandments

Written by the first high priest

Of jiuyi mountain.

Yes, high priest.

However, I don't know

Where to find it.

It's right here.

You need to find it yourself.

Of course,

In order to show your sincerity,

You cannot use any magic techniques.

But the hall of books

Will be closed for maintenance

In three hours.

More importantly,

The scrolls in jiuyi

Are just like the mirror.

They're easily covered with dust.

You need to wipe the dust off

After you read them.

And you need to change the water

Whenever you clean one scroll.

Only then, it can show

The sacredness of the hall.

You shall do so until

You find the commandments.

(I'm new to magic techniques.)

(And I don't have a solid foundation.)

(I'm afraid it might be

Extremely difficult)

(For me to locate a scroll.)

(And, I need to wipe

The dust off the scrolls)

(And change the bucket of water

Every so often.)

(This is literally impossible.)

I will not force you

To find it.

Since you're not sincere

And you do not have courage,

Even if you are

The priest's first disciple,

You won't achieve anything great

In the future.

If so, I can only find another candidate

For the priest.

Make up your mind.

I'm willing to give it a try.

Your supreme majesty,

According to the rules

Of jiuyi mountain,

Since ancient times,

The four grand marshals

Will hand the commandments

To the new disciples.

No one has ever let the new disciples

Search for the commandments themselves.

No one dares to insult

Or be disrespectful to the sect

For the past thousands of years.

Since she does things unorthodoxly,

You cannot blame me

For teaching her a lesson

On your behalf.

Your supreme majesty,

Why are you punishing zhu yan

For bai xuelu's incompetency?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I know you've chosen bai xuelu

As your candidate.

But zhu yan

Appeared out of nowhere.

That's why you've decided

To take zhu yan as your disciple

In order to go against bai xuelu,

Whom I preferred.

Even if zhu yan couldn't find

The disciple commandments,

I'll only announce to the public

That I'm removing her from her position

As the first disciple.

I will never take

Bai xuelu as my first disciple.

Very good.

You've grown up, huh?

You dare to talk back to me now.

I dare not do so, your supreme majesty.

I just hope that you won't

Interfere with the decisions I make.

Your supreme majesty, priest.

I shall take my leave.

Master.

(I've been searching for written books.)

(But I've forgotten that

The first high priest)

(Was an avid painter.)

(Therefore, the disciple commandments)

(Shouldn't be recorded in words.)

(It should be a painting instead.)

(Disciple commandments of jiuyi mountain)

I'm not

An understanding master.

It'll be tough if you train under me.

I'm not afraid of hardships.

It'll be lonely.

It won't.

In the past, there were only dead bodies

In the valley.

That's why you were alone.

But from now on,

I'll be keeping you company, master.

Since you're my first disciple,

I will expect you to obey

My strict rules.

If you don't do a good job,

You might be punished.

Don't cry by then.

Okay.

From today onward,

You'll be my master.

Master.

Master.

I thought you were angry at me.

What are you doing here?

Your supreme majesty, I know you did it

For my sake.

I dare not be angry at you.

But now,

My mother has passed away.

I don't wish to return to jialan.

Your supreme majesty,

Please allow me to serve the gods.

Back then,

You were just the crown prince.

Although you were talented and

Mighty at both the pen and the sword,

You were still a child.

Now,

You've already become the top practitioner

Of the magic arts of yunhuang.

If only your mother

Could look at you now.

I believe

That she'll be proud of you.

I can even imagine

The way she smiles

When she looks at you.

You're her only offspring.

She didn't fight for power

Because she was a kind person.

But if you and I

Don't fight for it now,

Who else will remember

The grievances

She suffered back then?

Who else will help you and your mother

To take back

What was stolen from you two?

But back then,

I rushed back to jialan

Because of my selfish desire.

I even sent a letter to her

Who was still in the palace.

That's how my mother was

My mother

Is gone now.

It's pointless

No matter what I do now.

And, I don't have a reason

To jialan now.

Your supreme majesty,

Today is your birthday.

Let me offer you a cup of tea.

Snow cake.

This was your mother's favorite snack

Before she passed away.

Today

Is my birthday.

Ever since my mother entrusted me to you,

You had put all your attention on me.

You helped me to improve

And planned my life for me.

You have already

Forgotten about yourself.

However

However, your supreme majesty,

You should have your own life too.

You should have your own joy

And interests in life.

I don't want you

To forget about the person named shi

The person named shi yu because of me.

I will forever

Be grateful to you.

Not only are you my uncle

And my master,

But you should also

Be yourself.

Now, you cannot understand

How it feels like

To be an elder.

If there's no longer anyone

You care for

In the world,

It's pointless

To live.

Let me

Be alone for now.

Yes, your supreme majesty.
