"Don't Ask 莫问 (Mo Wen)" by Zhang Han 张翰
♫ Within a picture, the characters appear strong. ♫
♫ Withered flowers dance lightly stirring up the water of emotions silently. ♫
♫ Don't ask who weighs more in the heart. ♫
♫ Take up a pen and tell a thousand turbulent stories. ♫
♫ The rainbow streak across the horizon. ♫
♫ Does it know your whereabouts? ♫
♫ Pain spread throughout the land. ♫
♫ How long do we have to wait until it turns cold? ♫
♫ I wish. I hope. ♫
♫ Don't ask why I broke up the relationship in an instant. ♫
♫ I wish. I hope. ♫
♫ This hurdle is difficult for people to pass even in a thousand years. ♫
♫ I wish. I hope. ♫
♫ Don't ask for whom this lonely zither is playing for. ♫
♫ I wish. I hope. I sigh. ♫
♫ I wish. I hope. ♫

If you have anything in mind you can tell me, I can help share your worries.
What do you want me to say?
That I'm worried about him, that I regret
not letting him return on his own?
Don't move!-What are you doing?
Among the two who do you choose?
I like Chi Yu.
Why did you teach her such an evil skill.
When one starts absorbing spiritual energy,
it is an addiction that can never be stopped.
Also, one will constantly crave the most pure and strong spiritual energy.
You doing this is pushing Fu'er down a path of no return!
Rest assured.
Our Azure Blue Dragon Mysterious Lady is stronger inside than what we imagine.
She will be accused for it!
She won't.
She won't be reported for it.
Because she has you. As long as you are here,
she won't be accused.
If not how can you be the Guest of the Magical Tone?
Your spiritual energy is the most pure.
So this is your plan.
You know I will not let her go around killing the innocent.
I will definitely use my spiritual energy to help her.
So you taught her the wrong things.
So I will be tied to her.
It was you who told me
that you want to keep her by your side.
I am helping you.
If Fu'er is happy,
then isn't it a chance for you to be happy too?
I will not use such methods to get Fu'er.
As a friend,
I must remind you.
Many times when you want someone,
you need some methods to do so.
Although you detest my methods now,
but one day,
you will thank me.
It's been so long since we drank together.
Lord Jin,
your injury...
It's not much.
Come, let's drink.
I never thought, that at such an isolated place
the wine is still pretty good.
Thank you.
Thank you for everything you have done for me.
What is there to thank me for?
These are all things you have taught me.
Me?
I only followed my heart.
And did what I thought I should do.
But the things that come, will depend on you.
Saving Hong Tai, stopping the war.
Since the day I left Qing Qiu,
I have already decided to cut off all ties with that place.
I never thought of ever returning.
Since blood is thicker than water,
then you are connected in life and death.
How can you cut such ties?
Blood is thicker than water.
For me, it is more of a sarcasm.
Now because of our family matters Hong Tai returned,
but he was captured by my father. I regret everything.
I regret not going back with him.
You know that he is weak in influence and strength right now.
My father will definitely not let him go.
Going to save Hong Tai now, is still not too late.
Not only just save him,
You are planning to...
I want to end everything.
Hong Tai will not die,
the war will also end.
And you, Shangguan Jin,
I will remember clearly everything you have done for me.
I will prove to you,
the King of Jiu Li and the Shangguan family will not make things difficult for you.
You are still Lord Jin.
Chi Yu, you are planning to...
You're right.
In all these years,
I am planning to do something a Prince should do.
And this matter,
only I can do it.
Fine. I support you.
Right, Mo'er is extremely worried about you.
I know.
Then why aren't you going to talk to her?
I don't want to talk too much with her.
It's because I know her personality.
What if in the spur of the moment she does something dangerous?
Then the consequences would be even worse.
When I'm not here, you must help me take good care of her.
Fine. I will definitely take this as a chance.
You won't.
You say, that big bad guy is too petty!
what's wrong with letting us have a look. Seriously.
The next time I see him I must definitely give him a scolding.
Xiao Bing can really run-
Why are you stopping halfway?
There will be a good show now!
It's cold.
Why are you standing here alone?
I didn't come on purpose to disturb you.
I just heard that you and Big Brother Shangguan were drinking,
so I came to see.
Shangguan is injured, he cannot drink.
He has already gone back.
You came here just to say this?
No.
Speak.
Next time when you do things, don't be impulsive.
Be careful of your body, drink less.
I'm done talking.
Su Mo.
The things you want to say you have said,
but I also have things to say.
I like you.
I already forgot when it has started.
Maybe it was the first time you teased me.
Maybe it was at Peach Blossom Hollow.
But these are not important now.
What's important is I know my heart.
I like you, Su Mo.
But...-I know what you want to say.
I also know why you keep avoiding me.
But you know, when you like someone your heart cannot change.
No matter how perfect or great she is,
she cannot compare to the place you hold in my heart.
I also know you like me.
Right?
I...
I am going back to Qing Qiu soon.
I hope you can tell me personally with your own mouth.
I want to know what you are thinking.
I...
I know.
These two people! Making the people watching even more anxious!
Fine. Let Big Sister help you.
Silly girl you missed a good chance.
Don't blame your big sister for not helping you!
Silly girl, what are you waiting for?
I... I don't know what happened.
I know I'm being too anxious.
I know things are difficult for you.
I'm just scared that there will be no time,
scared that I will leave you.
Only when you are by my side, then I will feel secure.
Regardless of whether you reject me,
or whether you don't like me.
I like you.
Since a long time ago, I have liked you.
You are leaving. I can't bear it.
I didn't dare to admit it in the past.
Because I know that my best friend Fu'er likes you too.
So I was afraid to admit it.
I was even more afraid to tell you.
Do you know that upon listening to all this,
how happy I am?
But now we cannot be together.
I have to see Fu'er first.
I have to tell her what's in my heart.
And I hope she can understand me and bless me.
Then we can truly be together.
I hope that I can get Fu'er's blessing.
No matter what,
I am happy. I promise you.
How about we help her again?
What are you people doing?
I was passing by. You guys continue.
I'm going back first.
You take advantage of me like that and you're leaving?
What are you doing?
Just take this as a parting gift.

Rong'er...
No!
Don't be like this!
Big Brother Bing!
Why are you here?
Stop practicing like this, Fu'er.
Why not?
Don't you think that my spiritual energy has become a lot stronger?
Absorbing the energy of other things, on the surface it looks like your spiritual energy has increased,
but it is an evil art that is addictive.
Fu'er, don't practice anymore.
The most pure spiritual energy in the world comes from nature.
I can take their spiritual energy, what's wrong with that?
First, the flowers and the grass will wither,
then the birds and beasts are needed to satisfy you. In the end...
In the end what?
In the end, it's eternal damnation.
Many people will die for you.
And will be too absorbed into this and you cannot stop.
Fu'er, spiritual energy requires you to train hard on your own,
absorbing the energy has no difference from stealing.
No way.
You don't have to scare me here like this.
Fu'er look at yourself. You are absorbing my spiritual energy.
No! It's not me who is absorbing your energy.
It is you who is giving it to me!
I must be stronger.
I have things that I myself must get.
Because of a man, you are learning such evil arts.
Is it worth it?
What are you saying?
What do you know?
I know you like the Vermilion Bird Star Mansion Chi Yu.
But Fu'er, he is of the Vermilion Bird
and you are the Azure Blue Dragon Mysterious Lady.
The two of you cannot be together
What is there to say about whether we can or cannot?
For many things I learnt that I have to fight for it myself!
Also,
whether I like him or not is my business.
How long to we know each other? Why should you care about me?
Because
I am the Azure Blue Dragon Neck Mansion who protects you!
Then all the more you should take care of your identity.
Your duty is to protect me,
not to teach me what I should do!
I already said, he is obviously a liar!
What nonsense is he saying, one day to Qing Qiu. I can go to Dong Ling in a day!
He probably had no ideas so he sneaked away.
People's hearts are difficult to read.
Let me tell you, if you want to rescue that friend of you,
you should go on your way now.
He will come.
How can you trust him so much?
Because he wants to know who he is.
Is it very important to know who you are?
Only when you know who you are, then you will know what you have to do.
Then you will find your own purpose in life.
I don't understand.
I also don't get it.
Lord Shangguan, when you have time,
can you personally explain it to me?
Look! What is that?
It's a huge boat.
And it flies!
It's hovering in the air! -It looks so fun!
So fun!
Chi Yu!
Xiao Bing! It's Xiao Bing!
Come up! I'll send you all to Qing Qiu.
Mo'er.
You must wait for me to return.
Brother Jin. -Rest assured.
You take care of yourself.
They have already left. We should return now.
Where is Pei Pei?
Extended Neck Mansion.. what does it mean?
Extended Net Mansion is also called Zhang Yue Lu.
It's the fifth mansion among the seven of the south.
The Extended Neck Mansion is the place where the Vermilion Bird's body meets its wings.
So it can open its wings and fly.
Fly?
Aren't we all flying now?
Xiao Bing, as the Extended Net,
you do live up to your name.
Xiao Bing, are you still angry at me?
I also didn't do it on purpose.
What's that sound?
You're finally here.
Why are you there?
I saw that this flying boat looks fun so I came up.
Why are you here?
This boat doesn't welcome you!
Chi Yu and Ah Su are all here, why can't I be here?
This boat was made by me.
I can invite who I want to come up.
Fine you petty imp! See how I take care of you.
I'm petty?
Before who was it that wanted to dig a hole to bury me?
I didn't bury you in the end. At that time I didn't know you so I...
Just let me out now!
Let me tell you,
I am the captain of this boat.
Call me the captain.
Captain.
Calling me the Captain is useless too. Just stay in there.
You! Ah Su! Save me!
I'll let you out now.
How about, he comes up and you go down?
Pei Pei since you're here, just play in there for a bit more.
Ah Su!-Stay in there for awhile!
You're so petty!
Captain, captain!

Baili Han!
Baili Han come out!
Mysterious Lady General Baili has already left.
Baili Han!
You get lost!
What is it Fu'er?
So the things you have been teaching me was the Forbidden Spell of Speed Absorption!
Is it not good?
Don't you feel like the you now
has become so much more stronger?
I heard that this skill is extremely evil,
In the end, I will be in eternal damnation
and then there will be countless people who will die because of me, right?
Bin Ying has told you?
Do you trust me?
You just need to know,
I will never harm you.
A forbidden spell becomes a forbidden spell
It is because it's power is too much. Normal people cannot handle it.
But you must know, that it is a miraculous skill.
If we just simply forbid them,
Then you will forsake the efforts of the predecessors who created it.
Fu'er, you are the Azure Blue Dragon Mysterious Lady.
Your strength is incomparable to normal mortals.
Also, you are only absorbing the spiritual energy of nature.
You have no intentions to harm people.
How can there be people who will die because of you?
Fine let's do this.
I have no intentions to harm you.
But if you feel that it is not good.
You can stop practicing it.
I don't like that Bin Ying.
Why?
He always acts like he understands everything.
Although he is one of the Azure Blue Dragon Mansions,
he cares about too many things.
Have you ever heard him tell you the story of this one person?
Rong'er.
Rong'er?
Rong'er was Brother Bin's previous wife.
The two were extremely close,
They were a couple who couldn't be compared to others.
After that, Brother Bin left with me to fight for Dong Ling.
He was on the battlefield for many years,
Unable to see Rong'er.
Until one day, a letter came from home,
saying that Rong'er was severely sick.
But when Brother Bin rushed home,
she had already passed away.
(The white and blue draperies means there is a death in the house.)
Do you remember the expression on his face the first time he saw you?
He lost his composure.
It is because you look exactly like Rong'er
Do you mean that the times he was good to me
is all because I look like his wife?
He thinks you are the second chance given to him by the heavens.
Although he knows you are not Rong'er,
there are times when he will treat you as her.
Rong'er has always been weak in personality,
Bing Ying just unconsciously replaces her with you.
Replace?
Bin Ying is a person who has gone soft because of love.
After Rong'er has left for so many years, he still refuses to forget her.
Sometimes he cannot tell the difference.
So he wants to turn me into a weak and soft woman.
So he doesn't want me to become stronger, right?
I am not anyone's replacement!
I am me!
I am the Azure Blue Dragon Mysterious Lady!
In the blink of an eye this Shi Pei Pei has disappeared.
He likes excitement, he must have sneaked onto the boat.
Right,
don't be too worried about Chi Yu.
He will definitely bring Hong Tai back safely.
It was so noisy just now,
but now there is only the few of us.
It feels a little lonely.
Now that I think of it, our Shangguan family power in Jiu Li is great.
Our close relatives' power is also all over the government.
But we are just few in our main family.
Among the close relatives, we only use each other.
So our family will not so easily trust anyone.
From young to old it was always me against the world.
Until I met you guys.
Let's talk about Chi Yu. He is cold outside but warm inside.
A-su is very honest and just man. Shi Pei Pei is just too naughty.
he also likes watching excitement.
All of them are good friends.
Compared to my past, things are different.
Lord Shangguan,
how can you forget about me too?
Right and there is also Miss Hong Ling.
I am very happy to have met Sir Shangguan.
Actually, a short separation is for a better reunion.
Once we find the Wings Mansion, we'll be able to meet very soon.
But right now, there are no hints at all.
Let's rest well first.
We'll think again after we get up tomorrow.

Why are you inside my room?
Are we good sisters?
Of course!
Nonsense. Liar.
Then what do you want me to do to prove it?
What are you doing?
Cut the crap.
Hurry and make a date with him for me!
That's right! If you don't do it, how can I make a date with him?
-How am I supposed to do that?-I don't care how!
Who told you to be my good sister?
I don't care.
Go! Hurry and go!
Hurry and call!
Big Brother Shangguan!
There's no one inside.
No! I don't care!
Call!
-There's no one inside!-Hurry!
Mo'er!
Big Brother Shangguan, good morning.
Were you looking for me?
Yeah!
What is it?
Come with me!
Sir Shangguan,
this is Hong Ling's "Rich Falling Leaves Dance".
Look! Does it look nice?
Hurry and leave already!
Mo'er, where are you going?
I...
Sir Shangguan.
I made some snacks for you.
Let's give it a taste together!
Please.
Su Mo, don't you have to go buy something?
-I-!-If you don't go now, it'll be too late.
That's right!
Come, Sir.
Thank you, Miss.
We already said you should stop calling me Miss!
So polite.
Since we are allies to summon the Vermilion Bird,
you can just call me by name!
-Sir, please have tea.-Okay.
This Is something I especially prepared for Young Master.
I got up to make it before the sky got bright!
I spent a lot of money on it!
It's really light, fragrant, and sweet and the after taste is lingering.
If you like it, I can make it for you every morning!
Sir, don't you feel like the two of us
are a match made in heaven, especially well matched?
This...
You look down on me?
I do not!
Then in your heart, do you treat me as a friend?
Friend? Of course!
Then what do you think of me?
I feel like, you are very interesting.
Then you like me, right?
This...I don't.
You don't like me?
Then...not quite.
Then you do like me but don't dare to say it?
Miss, I think you have misunderstood.
Miss, miss!
Miss!
Actually, I know that you're a person who doesn't hide your feelings,
very straightforward.
I am really impressed by you!
It's just..
It's just that I already have someone I like in my heart.
I'm afraid that I must forsake your good intentions.
In this world, who doesn't have one or two first loves?
More so, you're Young Master Shangguan, a cassanova.
I don't mind!
In your heart, you can have a little spot for that person.
But...
There are no rivers to one who has crossed the ocean.(In this context: Can't love someone else)
But the one who will spend the rest of your life with you may not be the ocean.
Maybe it's just the scenic view that is by your side.
Sir Shangguan,
time can let everything pass.
Capturing the moment now is what someone should do.
How can you be so sure
that you won't fall in love with me?
You!
Careful that your eyes get obscured by one leaf. (Not seeing the bigger picture)
I have told you of my feelings.
As for your feelings,
I'm not in a rush.
Fu'er.
What is it?
You came to find your Rong'er again?
Why do you know?
If you can know about me,
Can I not know about you?
But I want to tell you. I'm not your Rong'er.
I don't want to be your Rong'er either!
-I've never wanted that.-That's right then.
Fu'er, let me explain!
I've never treated you as anyone else.
I treat you as the present the heavens have given me, the second chance I have been given!
The second chance?
You still treat me as your Rong'er, right?
Look clearly! I'm different from her!
Rong'er!
Fu'er!
She needs you.
Needs me?
Or does she need my spiritual energy?
Baili Han.
You taught her the Forbidden Spell of Feed Absorption to tie us together!
But I'm telling you! I can't save her.
And I don't intend to save her either.
Pretty maiden! Pretty maiden! Don't let her run!
Stop!
Don't run away! Don't go!
Let go of me!
Let go!
Let go of me!
Fu'er!
Bing Yi!
I killed someone?
It's okay, Fu'er.
I'm here. It's okay.
As long as you don't practice the Forbidden Spell of Feed Absorption anymore, it will be okay.
No!
I shouldn't be afraid.
I can only protect myself by growing stronger.
I killed them because they deserved to die!
It's because they deserved to die!
Fu'er!
Is it not enough to take my spiritual energy?
If you keep going on like this, there will be no turning back!
If I can stop myself from being bullied by becoming a monster, then I'll just become a monster!
These people should have died anyway!
They forced me!
Becoming a monster,
is better than being tricked,
better than being bullied by others.
To be betrayed by others.
I want all those who betrayed me to regret it!
Why are you looking at me like that?
I don't want you to feel sorry for me!
I don't want you to pity me!
This is my own choice.
Even if I become a monster,
so what?
Let go of me!
I'm going to become a woman who goes to hell anyway!
Let go of me!
Even if you are going to hell, I'll go with you!
Just who are you going to save?
A brother.
A person who has been through life and death with me.
Thank you.
I wasn't wrong to trust you.
Don't thank me that quickly.
I can take you to Qing Qiu. But when you go save someone afterwards,
I won't take part.
I don't like fighting. I only depend on my brain.
Saving Hong Tai is my own matter.
I don't hope for you all to join in.
