[bunniefuu]

Your Highness,

Mr. Tushan is looking for you.

Jing!

Why are you all soaked?

Why are you standing here

and not coming in?

Come in with me.

Come on. Come in now.

I have taken Mr. Tushan

to meet Princess Xiaoyao

as per your order.

Okay, you may leave now.

Yes.

It's late.

You should rest.

The storm is raging

and the guest hasn't left yet.

How can I rest at ease?

That Master Qingqiu, seriously.

What urgent matter does he have

that he had to barge

into Mount Chenrong so late at night?

It can't be a good thing

since the storm is sweeping.

I should be happy.

But when I think of Xiaoyao,

I feel very upset.

What on earth happened?

My grandmother is ill.

She has been waiting for my return

and overusing her spirit power

over these years.

Now that her spirit power is exhausted,

she only has a few months left to live.

My grandfather passed away early.

So did my father.

For the sake of the Tushan family,

my grandmother has been struggling.

She has never enjoyed

a single day of peace.

She wants me to succeed

as the head of the Tushan family

in three days.

I

I can't refuse.

I understand.

I originally planned

to stay with you

whether Grandmother agreed or not.

But now

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It's really okay.

Xiaoyao.

I've disappointed you again.

If you really abandon everything

so ruthlessly,

including your grandmother,

who has shown you great kindness,

even if it was for me,

you wouldn't be the Jing I like.

I'm sorry.

The shackles you can't break free of

are actually your gentleness.

It is this gentleness

that makes me like you.

MEMORIAL TABLET OF SHEN YUE

Mother.

You must feel very comforted

in heaven, right?

Do you know?

What insulted me the most today

is not what Grandmother said

about the Central Plains' clans

or that the Tushan family

only recognizes Jing.

But the fact that Jing regards

what I desperately strive for

as nothing.

I know you feel down.

But why do you torment yourself like this?

What Grandmother said

was indeed disheartening,

but we still have a chance to win.

A chance to win?

Is it by k*lling Tushan Jing

or the nine elders

and those clan leaders who support him?

Is that true?

Providence.

It's providence.

Mother, if you are watching from heaven,

please enjoy this great drama.

Are you thinking about Tushan Jing?

No.

I just want to enjoy the breeze here.

Can't you do so in Zijin Palace?

It's quiet here.

It's indeed too noisy

in the vast Zijin Palace,

where only the two of us live.

It's from my master.

It's for you to attend Tushan Jing's

succession ceremony as clan leader.

Father is so nice

for allowing me

to attend the ceremony properly.

Even if it has turned out this way,

do you still want to meet him?

After all, this is

a once-in-a-lifetime event for him.

No matter what,

I want to go and see it.

Attend it if you like.

For me,

only your happiness matters.

Don't worry.

Happiness brings us together

and sorrow sets us apart.

It's easy for us siblings to move on.

Would I really cry

over a man?

I hope that's the case.

As the auspicious time has come,

the ceremony begins.

As it is shown

by fate constantly,

alas, the clan leader

is virtuous and righteous.

Clan leader.

Clan leader.

Clan leader.

Clan leader.

Our next generations

follow our principles,

admire, and carry on

the clan leader's great achievements.

As Heaven sends an auspicious sign,

Heaven blesses Qingqiu Hill.

-As Heaven sends an auspicious sign,

-As Heaven sends an auspicious sign,

-Heaven blesses Qingqiu Hill.

-Heaven blesses Qingqiu Hill.

-As Heaven sends an auspicious sign,

-As Heaven sends an auspicious sign,

Such an auspicious celestial sign

doesn't appear at every clan leader's

ceremony of succession.

It seems that Tushan Jing's succession

as the clan leader

is a great blessing for the Tushan family.

-Heaven blesses Qingqiu Hill.

-Heaven blesses Qingqiu Hill.

The ceremony is over.

Xiaoyao.

Xiang Liu didn't save you for nothing.

He asked for the peak

of Mount Chenrong in exchange.

I didn't see you at the ceremony.

In your eyes,

who else could you see

besides Tushan Jing?

At the succession ceremony

of Chief Tushan,

should I look around

instead of looking at Tushan Jing?

I heard from my sister

that Tushan Jing didn't want

to be the clan leader.

If he really won't be the clan leader,

then with my sister's temperament,

she would probably think of a way

to cancel the engagement decently.

But now Tushan Jing

has become the clan leader.

My sister has endured for years,

so she won't give up.

It's Tushan Jing who should worry

about whether Fangfeng Yiying gives up.

Not me.

Fangfeng Yiying has nothing

to do with you,

but Tushan Jing

is intimately related to you.

You thought hope

was right in front of you,

but it turned out

to be getting further and further away.

Aren't you sad?

I've been used to bad luck

since I was a child.

No matter what good things happen,

I'm always subconsciously prepared

for them to fall apart.

No matter how touching the vows are,

I won't fully believe them.

I can't lie and say I'm not sad at all.

But I'm not that upset either.

Your personality is not very good.

No matter how joyful things are,

you're always waiting for sadness.

So I should cherish

the real joy at the moment.

Only that is true.

Princess.

Would you like to go with me

to find some real joy?

Why not?

I didn't expect the doggies

to run this business

right under the nose of the Tushan family.

The head of the Lirong family

and Tushan Jing aren't just acquaintances.

Without Tushan Jing's help in the dark,

they wouldn't be able

to run their business so well.

Jing seems to enjoy

making friends here and there,

even with the Two-Headed Dog.

Mind your words.

Don't keep saying "dog."

Stay away from me.

Don't get me involved

when the Lirong family gangs up on you.

I'll stay close to you

and get you involved.

Stop it, my lady.

Excuse me. Thank you.

Isn't that the young man

we saw in Xiyan City

four decades ago?

He made a deal with the sl*ve master.

If he wins consecutively for 40 years,

the sl*ve master will grant him freedom.

For 40 years?

Tonight is the last night.

As long as he can survive tonight,

he can be freed from sl*very.

Winning consecutively for 40 years.

How did he make it?

Just like what you did

in the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon's cage.

It's nothing but following your heart,

endless patience,

a long wait,

as well as

never giving up

even for a faint hope.

What are you talking about?

What do you think I'm talking about?

-Get up!

-Get up!

-Get up!

-Get up!

Get up!

Get up and continue!

Stand up!

Get up!

Go for it!

Get up!

If you lose, I'll k*ll you!

Stand up!

You've been waiting for 40 years!

You'll be free by winning this!

Stand up!

Get on your feet!

Stand up now!

Stand up!

Stand up!

-Get up!

-Get him!

-Stand up!

-Get up!

Stand up!

Stand up!

Hurry. Stand up!

Get on your feet!

-All right

-All right.

All right.

He won!

He won!

Did you see it? He's free now.

He won!

You won!

Yes, he won.

He's free.

Wait a minute.

Just now,

I heard you telling me to stand up.

I remember you.

You gave me a hug.

I remember you too.

I'm glad you won.

Do you remember him?

Yes.

He watched me fight to the death.

Seven times.

I'm free now.

I can do whatever I want.

Can I come with you?

I don't need anyone.

What's your name?

They call me sl*ve Number 11.

May I give you a name?

Okay.

What about Zuo Er, for left ear?

If anyone mocks you

because you're missing an ear,

you don't need to care.

You should be proud

of your missing left ear.

My name is

Zuo Er?

Where are you planning to go?

I want to see the ocean.

I've heard it's vast,

like the sky.

I've never seen it.

If you have nowhere to go

after seeing the ocean,

go to Mount Chenrong

and look for a person named Cangxuan.

Tell him that I sent you

and he will give you a job.

My name is Xiaoyao.

Got it?

Mount Chenrong.

Cangxuan and Xiaoyao.

I remember it.

Here is the money I won by betting on you.

Take this money and go see the ocean.

He is gone. Why are you still in a daze?

Let's go.

When you escaped from the death arena,

it would be great

if it was I who saved you.

If I saved you,

I would only let you be Fangfeng Bei.

A free Fangfeng Bei.

Owing no one a favor

or gratitude.

Bearing no responsibility,

morality,

or duty.

You want to save me?

You're not worthy.

I am not saying Lord Hong Jiang

is not good,

I just think

you were born to be as free as

Shut up!

I heard you wanted to cancel the marriage.

Why?

Is Yiying not good enough for you

because you're the clan leader now?

Ms. Fangfeng is very nice.

-But

-Leave him. Let's go.

SMOKE AND ROSY CLOUDS

Xiaoyao.

Are you going to leave me?

I'm not going to leave you.

Really?

When I saw you become

the clan leader of Tushan,

I did feel a bit lost and hesitant.

I thought

we were at a crossroad

and took different paths.

But I don't feel it now.

Even Zuo Er could persevere for 40 years

for such a faint hope.

How could we give up so easily?

Even if the roads are different,

they are still made by people.

How can we, two living people,

be confined by the roads?

Xiaoyao.

As for me,

I am selfish and heartless.

My first reaction

is always self-preservation.

I'm unwilling to trust others.

I always think

people's hearts are changeable.

It's not easy for you

to tolerate me.

I've said it before.

I'm willing to trust

and make efforts first.

Tushan Jing is determined

to cancel the marriage for Xiaoyao.

Is that true?

Yes.

For Xiaoyao,

the Tushan family

will definitely support Cangxuan.

The Xiling family and Cangxuan

are blood relatives.

So that goes without saying.

The Chishui family's attitude is unclear,

but Chishui Fenglong is already

on Cangxuan's side.

If he succeeds as the clan leader,

then among the Four Great Clans,

three are already on Cangxuan's side.

The situation is not in our favor.

The Four Great Clans

have always played it safe.

They are unwilling to get involved

in royal disputes.

Even if they support Cangxuan,

they dare not be blatant.

But their attitude would influence

the Central Plains' clans.

With their support,

naturally, there will be clans

who dare to be blatant.

Cangxuan has been trying

to win over the Central Plains' clans,

thinking himself fully fledged.

But I want to see him fall

because of these people.

Deyan, do you mean

It's time to make use of the mole

we planted in Mount Chenrong 40 years ago.

Zijin Palace is where

the Kings of Chenrong

live and handle affairs.

It's the symbol of Central Plains.

So all clans

attach great importance to it.

The main hall, Daming Hall,

is even more significant

and extraordinary.

You must be extra careful.

No omissions are allowed.

Understood.

We will be extremely careful

and won't let Your Highness down.

Please be rest assured.

For the palace renovation,

I have been doing it for decades.

As the renovation of Daming Hall

has been discussed again and again,

all details are clear in my mind.

Thank you all.

When the great work is completed,

you will definitely be rewarded.

SHEN SHUTONG, FAN ZHANG

Your Highness, this is the day decided

by Lord Chenrong

for Daming Hall's blessing ceremony.

Please review it.

The schedule is a bit tight.

This is the day chosen

by the six major clans

and the Chenrong clan

after days of discussion.

The schedule is indeed a bit tight,

but it is an auspicious day.

Your Highness, please bear with us.

All right.

I will urge my subordinates

to speed up the work.

CHENRONG MANSION

Jing.

You clearly know that Fenglong

doesn't welcome you.

Why are you still visiting?

I'll wait for him to drive me away.

Won't you say something?

He can be very unreasonable at times.

Tushan Jing, you still have

the guts to come here.

You can give me three punches.

If you continue, I won't be polite.

Polite?

When have you been polite?

-Fenglong.

-Tushan Jing!

Tushan Jing!

Fenglong.

I'll teach you a lesson

for hiding things from me.

Let men handle their own business.

My brother's spirit power is strong.

If they really fight,

even three Jing can't hold him back.

Don't worry. No one will die.

How dare you still come?

Fenglong!

Are you sure no one will die?

Maybe

they'll be bedridden for a few months.

I remember when we were young,

you were polite,

and always dressed neatly.

Unlike me,

messy like a monkey.

But once, I insulted Hou and you heard it,

you picked up the zither and hit me.

We had a big fight in the mud.

I could fight better than you,

but you fought desperately,

and forced me to swear

never to insult Hou again.

You still remember it so clearly.

Since then,

I've started to envy Hou.

If only I had a brother

who would fight for me.

One day, my aunt suddenly told me

to get along with you like siblings.

I suddenly realized

we were cousins after all.

As long as I'm willing,

we can be good brothers.

Fenglong.

All these years,

I've been telling you all my ambitions

and selfish desires,

and you never think I'm daydreaming.

Even when I told you

I want to break the rules

of the Four Great Clans,

you just laughed and replied

that rules are made by people,

and naturally,

they can be broken by people.

I asked you if you would help me.

I don't want to get into any trouble,

but I won't sit back.

Right.

That's what you said.

All these years,

no matter what I'm pondering on,

you would understand and help me.

I'm not as good as you say.

Actually, I'm not angry

that you stole Xiaoyao.

I'm angry that you don't treat me

as your brother.

Why didn't you tell me?

I had fallen for Xiaoyao

before she was known as Xiaoyao.

You would definitely blame me

for not telling you earlier,

but I really had no way to tell you.

Many times,

I feel conflicted.

I think I'm not good enough for her.

You and Fangfeng Bei are better choices.

No matter which of you

gets close to Xiaoyao,

I think it's good for her.

Maybe it's better than being with me.

I often tell myself to give up.

But I really can't.

What do you mean

you're not compatible with Xiaoyao?

Tushan Jing.

When did you become so timid and useless?

Did the t*rture of Tushan Hou

soften your bones?

Listen to me.

My brothers are the best.

Forget one Xiaoyao,

you deserve even ten Xiaoyao.

Do you still consider me your brother?

I know you consider me as a brother

and will definitely give in to me,

so I dared to brazenly ask for her

in your territory.

You just said

you fell in love with Xiaoyao

before she became Xiaoyao.

What does it mean?

Actually, I knew her a long time ago

when she wandered about

in the mortal world.

So you've been fooling us all along.

Do you think I wanted to?

What do you think I felt

watching you try various ways

to please Xiaoyao?

You deserved it.

-Are we cool?

-Not yet.

A few more punches?

If news spread

that I've beaten up

the head of the Tushan family,

no one will believe it.

As long as you can calm down,

you can continue to hit me.

After all, I can't win.

Close your eyes.

It's done.

Is this how the Light Dance Pills

are wasted?

Be wary of retribution.

Close your eyes.

All right.

Look at them.

So they've had feelings for each other

under our noses.

No wonder the song

Xiaoyao sang the other day

was appealing

and full of affection.

You dared to do it then,

but you're shy now?

I'm not.

Fenglong, why not invite Cangxuan?

So we could stop her endless chatter.

Jing, you

Are you bullying me to help Xiaoyao?

We've already sent a message to Cangxuan

to discuss a serious matter.

Once Jing teases you, you become silly.

Now that Xiaoyao has a big supporter,

I dare not bully her anymore.

Don't worry. Your supporter is here too.

This is the first time

I've seen you joke with others like this.

Jing, you're finally back

to your old self.

You two are really capable.

One is the head of the clan.

The other is the future head of the clan.

Neither of you cares about propriety.

Don't you want to see anyone?

-Don't you count as someone?

-Don't you count as someone?
