What's wrong? You were still smiling happily just now.
Why are you frowning in the blink of an eye?
It's hard to explain. Yurou still has a problem.
I don't know how to solve it.
What problem?
I don't know if Yurou wants everyone to know.
Okay then.
If you need my help, just ask.
Long You, thank you.
During the time when Yurou and I were unhappy,
if you weren't there, I don't know how I would have made it through.
Yunfan.
Do you trust me?
Of course I do. You are my good brother.
If I don't trust you, who will I trust?
Okay then.
Remember.
In the future, no matter what happens,
you are still my good brother.
What's up with you? You're talking strangely today.
The Clean Sky Sect and Mt. Shu are going to war.
Why?
The seal that protects Mt. Shu,
will weaken once every a hundred years.
So you mean, that the hundred year deadline is almost here?
The Clean Sky Sect will attack while it's weak?
No. I must hurry and tell Teacher.
Are you going to betray the Clean Sky Sect?
But...but they will create a massacre!
So, you'd rather have your fellow people get killed?
I've already thought of a way to keep both sides happy.
It's up to you now.
Let's hear it.
Do you still remember the holy beast in the Demon Shackling Pagoda?
Of course I remember.
You mean...it can help me?
You've experienced the holy beast's power before.
I believe the Holy Beast can protect Mt Shu without bloodshed.
But the Seven Sages won't let it leave Demon Shackling Pagoda.
So, go and let it out.
What is it? You don't dare to?
Or do you not trust me?
Of course not.
When you go to Demon Shackling Pagoda,
you will understand what I advised you to do this.
As long as everyone can be safely at peace,
so what if I get kicked out of the sect?
Yunfan.
Thank you for trusting me.
Of course I trust you.
You said it yourself. We are brothers.
Ingenious chess play.
I took the initiative and arranged the black pieces for you.
I hope you won't mind, Senior Master.
I only know how to play crappy chess,
but I also hope that it'll be a fair game.
Even if I lose, I want to lose beautifully.
Senior Master, don't misunderstand.
I just want to borrow the chess board to mimic real life.
I want to see it too.
Your white chess pieces can only conquer a small section.
Do you still think you have a chance of winning?
One wrong chess move would change the outcome of the game.
How many pieces you have will not decide whether you win or lose.
The important thing is to make use of your chances.
Once your chance is here, a stone can cause a thousand ripples.
Chance?
I'm just afraid that the times aren't on your side.
Wait patiently.
People will eventually make mistakes.
As long as we make good use of a rare chance,
We will have the game in hand. Besides,
the chance has already appeared.
Things have been in harmony,
Why cause a thousand ripples?
Worse if in the end, the game is not worth it.
Senior Master, perhaps you don't know.
Some people don't understand what it feels like to lose something.
Because from the moment they were born, they've never lost anything.
How sorrowful.
It's so pitiful.
It's so unfair.
When every chess game begins,
both sides have the same amount of chess pieces.
It's just that everyone takes different paths, so the ending is different.
How is it unfair?
Long You, now that things have come to this,
I'm not afraid of being straight with you.
Your people have special powers.
But you are cruel and unruly.
Do you know? How many people have your ancestors killed?
That's why Nv Wa locked them up.
Or else,
how could I play chess with you in the human realm today?
My ancestors committed wrongs,
so my people have to live in hell.
Then all of you,
aren't you always fighting and killing your own people?
So what?
You're right. People often kill each other.
I think, the Clean Sky Sect and Mt. Shu's fight should be about done now.
I hope there weren't too many casualties.
Senior Master, you-!
Since you knew there would be a bloody fight today,
why didn't you return to Mt. Shu to help?
I still had to play chess with you.
To attack a person, you have to attack his mind first. Senior Master, are you trying to persuade me
not to join in Mt Shu's battle and lessen the casualty rate?
Long You. There are a lot of things between us that don't have to be said.
We may each have our positions, but we don't have to become enemies.
I know. It's very hard to change your thinking in such a short time.
But, just now you said to wait for the opponent's weakness
and then come back and win. But, I am also waiting for a weakness.
To make you completely lose.
Waiting is a coward's method.
Creating the chance for yourself is the superior method.
Phoenix Nirvana?(chess move) Die first, then live?
Good chess, good chess! I have become foolish with old age.
When did I fall for your trick? I lost.
Thank you, Senior Master, for letting me win.
Long You. You are a smart person. But you have to think clearly.
There isn't only one way to solve this problem.
But...if there was a choice,
Who would want to be a phoenix and confusing the enemy by dying first then resurrecting?
You finally came.
What do you want?
To help you. I'll send you to see Mt. Shu's divine beast.
I hope you can see clearly whose child you are.
Don't let everyone's blood bleed in vain.
This is the place I saw in my dream.
Son!
Teacher!
Yunfan?
Why did you lie to me? Why did you lie to me?
What are you talking about? What happened?
What was locked inside the Mt. Shu forbidden cave isn't a divine beast!
He's my biological father. The Clean Sky Sect's sect leader.
Jiang Shili, the person everyone has the right to punish.
Grandpa, so Jiang Shili has always been locked in Mt. Shu?
Senior Master, why didn't you tell Yunfan, they're father and son!
It's because they are father and son that I couldn't say it.
This is also what I've always been worried about.
Teacher. I have no paternal affection for this man. I only hate him!
I definitely won't recognize the person who made my mother sad!
Teacher. So you never trusted me?
If you didn't trust me, why did you take me as a disciple?
And you still taught me everything!
You have always been lying to me, watching me.
Was that all just an act?
Yunfan. It's not like that.
Believe me. It's just...
It's hard to explain this in a few sentences.
Yunfan. If your teacher wanted to lie to you,
why would he need to take you as a disciple when no one wanted him to?
Since it's like this, let's get things clear today. It'll help solve the pain in Yunfan's heart.
The one who led Yunfan go to the Mt. Shu forbidden cave should have been you, right?
That's right. It was me.
So you were the one interfering?
I didn't mislead Yunfan. Nor would I interfere with his decision.
I only want Yunfan to know the truth of the matter and know what his heart wants.
He can choose which side he wants to stand with.
In the past I thought that they were very bad and insincere, and couldn't be spared.
But ever since I personally went through Sister Yu Shang and Ju You Ya's matter,
I don't think so anymore.
If Jiang Shili was that bad to start with,
then why did Ouyang Qian follow him to her death with no regrets?
Son!
Perhaps he isn't a evil criminal.
Why was Jiang Shili locked within the blood jade.
And why did he abandon his wife and son?
Taoist, if you cannot answer all these questions today,
I'm afraid it will be difficult to appease the masses.
Long You! Don't go overboard!
Since they want to know, there's no need for me to hide it.
Over twenty years ago, Jiang Shili entered Ouyang Yin's sect as a disciple.
Shili.
-Come, drink some tea.-Jiang Shili
gained Ouyang Yin's admiration.
Later, he and Ouyang Qian fell in love.
He attracted his fellow disciples' jealousy and discrimination.
After they escaped Broken Swords Heights, Jiang Shili created the Clean Sky Sect.
He welcomed demons and those discriminated by the righteous sects.
When the sect was in its initial stages, they were happy with their position.
But later on, the Clean Sky Sect became stronger.
Jiang Shili's ambition also grew.
He dared to work with the demons to open the door between the demon and human realms.
To let the demon realm attack the human realm.
To protect the human realm, Mt. Shu could only work together with the Four Aristocratic Families.
To attack the Clean Sky Sect and destroy it.
To destroy Jiang Shili.
In that bloody battle, Jiang Shili fought to the death.
His demonic power couldn't be contained.
We had no choice, so we could only use Nv Wa's blood jade
to dissipate Jiang Shili.
Of course, something went wrong.
A piece was chipped off of Nv Wa's blood jade.
So, the sealed away Jiang Shili
could only be dissipated after twenty years.
That chipped piece of blood jade... is it this one?
It's because of that could you live until now.
But... the Yurou of twenty years ago...
How could she have a connection to the Clean Sky Sect?
Because they were against Jiang Shili.
So the entire family was deprived of food and water.
Yurou's mother died like that
and all of Yurou's blood vessels and organs were damaged. She lived by a thread.
The blood jade piece can only temporarily protect Yurou's life.
But when the blood jade's spiritual power fades, no one can save Yurou.
That's also to say, if the blood jade sealing the demon king away is gone, then Sister Yurou will also-
I've already lived for twenty years.
The heavens have already been very good to me. I'm satisfied.
Teacher. Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Were you going to wait until Jiang Shili was fully dissipated?
I wanted you two to meet long ago.
But before you two meet, I had to be sure that you could accept all of this.
To be honest, who's willing to see their own father's body and soul dissipate?
Yunfan. Are you really going to stand by and do nothing based on these matters that barely scrape the surface?
Are you not harboring any feelings at all?
Besides knowing that he's your father, do you really know Jiang Shili?
Shili, Shili. To be abandoned by the people of this world.***"Shi" refers to "world" and "Li" refers to "abandon".
Isn't this tragic?
I don't know what to do. He committed a crime, he deserves to die!
But what Long You said, combined with the way he looked at me,
makes me hate him less!
What should I do?
I have one method.
Use the Wandering Dream Spell to have Yunfan return to twenty years ago.
Let him personally see what happened and then choose.
That is a very good idea.
Let Yunfan get things clear and then make a choice.
I truly don't wish for you to endure a lifelong regret.
It's not hard to use the Wandering Dream Spell.
It needs the Five Sacred Pearls. But the Sacred Land Pearl is with Poisonous Shadow. What should we do?
Let's go find Poisonous Shadow to get it back.
For Yunfan, she'll definitely give it to us.
There's little time, let's go!
There's no need. The Sacred Land Pearl is in my hands.
When Poisonous Shadow brought me to see Jiang Shili, she used the Sacred Land Pearl to send me through the earth.
So, the Sacred Land Pearl is in my hands.
Poisonous Shadow stole the Sacred Land Pearl.
I chased after it many years but never got it back.
Why is it that once the Wander Dream Spell is mentioned,
the Sacred Land Pearl is returned?
This is 'finding something where you least expect it'.
Don't you feel like this is too big of a coincidence?
It's like someone purposely arranged it to let time go back.
To send Yunfan go back twenty years to let him meet with Jiang Shili.
It's fine if someone purposely arranged it.
It's also fine if it was just fated.
Take things as they come.
Oh stop!
I'm telling you! Long You must have something to do with this!
Perhaps he was the one secretly arranging things.
Not good, we must keep a good eye on him.
You can't stop it, but it's not the same as letting it happen.
It's luck, not misfortune. If it's misfortune, you can't avoid it. You have to face it.
then you can't avoid it no matter how hard you try.
How can we do that? We've waited for twenty years!
The demon king is almost at his limit, if we let him go now,
then aren't we letting our efforts go to waste?
You are quite calm.
Did you finally cultivate to immortality?
Or are you just acting high and mighty in front of me?
I just trust in Yunfan.
I trust that after he finds out the truth, he can definitely make the proper choice.
You trust that brat so much?
He's facing his biological father right now!
Haven't you heard that blood is thicker than water?
Stop acting so high and mighty!
Yunfan's actions exceed all expectations.
Also, he always manages to come back alive.
Just like when he was at Broken Swords Heights. Based on his own power,
he stopped an entire battle!
Actually this time, I hold the same hopes for him.
The same? The demons have high hopes for him too!
They want to borrow his power to come out and harm the human realm!
All of this is up to his choice!
It's that choice!
That choice can show the difference between a human's good and bad side.
Does he want to be good or bad?
We can't control that.
Just let Yunfan make his own choice.
You-!
What's going on?
Let me try one more time.
Xiao Man. Xiao Man!
Don't use your power anymore.
Teacher!
As I see it, Long You is a demon prince, so he's still different from humans.
Human magic is useless on him.
So, he cannot be sent back.
It's fate. It's all fate.
Xiao Man, forget it. It's okay.
It looks like we can only let Yunfan face it himself.
Strange. Where is Long You?
It's possible he didn't come over with us.
-Let's go.-Okay.
Excuse me, excuse me. Thank you.
Are you okay?
The child is suddenly moving around a lot.
Are you too tired today?
Let's go find a place to sit. Come.
One more time!
Good! Good!
Sit here for a little while.
-I'll go buy you a cup of tea.-Okay.
-I'll come back soon.-Come back quickly.
Next! Good!
Good! Good!
Mother!
It's mine, it's mine! Give it to me!
Look out!
Wife!
Yunfan! Come.
-Are you hurt?-Are you okay?
I'm okay.
-Does it hurt a lot?-I'm okay.
There's a splinter here.
-What's wrong?-It hurts.
It looks like that child is fated with you.
Thankfully that young man came to save her.
-That young man is amazing.-That's right.
Madam, are you okay?
I'm okay.
That's right, Shili. This young man saved me just now.
-Thank you, hero!-You're exaggerating.
Is your injury serious?
The injury has to be cleaned before being treated.
But here...
How about this? My home is close to here.
Come with us to rest.
This is great! Yurou and I don't have a place to stay yet.
Madam, our home is in the middle of the mountains, and you're pregnant.
It doesn't seem very convenient to bring guests.
Don't worry! I won't bother her rest!
Yunfan!
I'm sorry. I grew up in the mountains.
I feel like I am fated with the Madam.
I was so happy that I forgot my manners.
I hope you will be understanding.
Shili! Look, this child is so mature.
Besides, he got hurt to save me.
Logically, we should invite them over to rest.
Shili!
Okay, then I will do as you wish, Wife.
-Let's go.-Madam, please.
Let's go.
Young man, how is your injury?
Madam, you don't need to worry. My wound isn't bleeding anymore.
You should walk slowly.
Be careful not to move the baby around too much.
That's right, Madam. It looks like you'll be giving birth soon.
You have to be careful of your body.
In martial arts,
within a hundred miles, if we say we're second best,
who will dare say they're first? Why did they make it so hard on us
and not let us be magistrate guards?
It's because we didn't give them money!
Why did we have to give them money?
We only want to be magistrate guards to do something good for the people.
Is that a bad thing?
How could they do this?! What's the difference between them and thieves, between them and mountain bandits?!
They're just bandits!
They're wearing magistrate uniforms and holding royal money.
And bully the people! No, they're more frightening than bandits!
Forget it.
I'm not going to be a magistrate guard.
I'm going up the mountain! Do you want to come with me?
Boss, go ahead! I'll follow behind!
Okay! I'm going up the mountain!
Good!
Brother, I was rude.
Please don't blame me.
Where are you two going?
Why are you so angry?
I won't keep it from you. We wanted to go be magistrate guards.
But the magistrates made things so hard on us.
We are preparing to go up the mountain now.
Everyone, you won't go report us, right?
Once we reach Ape Crying Peak,
if you run into trouble, come find us.
We will definitely help you all to make up for what happened today.
Everyone, goodbye!
Take care.
Let's go.
So he went up the mountain because he couldn't be a magistrate guard.
I really want to see what the Gale Fortress of twenty years ago looked like.
But now isn't the time to reminisce. Don't forget the reason why you came back.
Let's go.
My dad twenty years ago was still quite young and immature.
For a woman, he could hide away in a mountain?
And give up the Clean Sky Sect
and its agreement with the demon realm?
Have you really forgotten?
We are all waiting for you.
We are waiting for you to do something amazing, but-!
Just wait.
I definitely won't let a woman ruin everything!
Come, sit.
It's very simple, please make yourself comfortable.
Thank you, Madam.
Mother!
I'm sorry, I embarrassed myself again.
This mask looks a lot like the one from my childhood.
You have this mask too?
The child's father made it for him.
Did your father make your mask for you too?
I...
I've never seen my father before.
Why?
When I was very little, my father already went missing.
Until my mother died,
he still hadn't returned.
-I'm sorry.-It's okay.
Qian'er, you-
He's moving. It seems like he can hear us talking.
He can probably feel it.
Child, I definitely won't leave you and your mother.
I will protect you two, and stay with you two.
I want to watch you slowly grow up.
I'm going to watch you marry and have children.
I have a big favor to ask. I hope you will fulfill it.
Yunfan!
This house, and this mask...
and everything here, made me think of my mother and many things from my childhood.
So I will be daring to ask if I can stay here for a few more days.
That's not a problem. I think my wife will also agree, right?
No.
You have to clean your wound before you can stay and live here.
Madam, even if you took a stick to hit me to make me leave, I still wouldn't leave!
Good!
Yurou, the things of the world are so amazing.
I didn't think that I'd have a chance to be with him and my mother together.
But I know that I didn't come to chat with them.
But no matter what, you can see your father and mother.
You're already very lucky.
But...they don't know me.
Even though they don't know you're their son.
But they treat you like family. Especially your mother.
She definitely feels fated with you, and the same with Jiang Shili.
He trusts you so much. I think this is what they mean by "blood is thicker than water".
Take this chance to get closer to them.
You don't have to be so nervous.
That's true.
Yurou, do you remember when I told them that I'd never seen my father
and what Jiang Shili said when the child in my mother's womb moved?
He said...he wouldn't leave you and your mother.
He would keep watching over you.
I saw that when he said this to my mother, he didn't seem like he was lying.
But why did he leave my mother and become a demon king of chaos?
Just why?
I must find the answer.
Okay. I'll investigate with you.
No matter what happens from now on, I'll be with you.
I won't leave you.

Madam.
Mister comes here every day to fish
and makes soup for you and never leaves your side?
We came to live in the mountains so I could be in peace
and avoid any frightening things. We agreed on it.
From now on, our family will live here.
But I can see that you're very elegant. You seem like you're from a rich family.
To live in the wilderness, don't you find it boring and hard to get used to?
When you're together with the one you love, even if life is even more painful,
your heart is sweet.
Madam and Mister love each other so much. It makes others jealous.
I feel like you and him are very close too.
Your hearts are very linked as well.
As for fishing, the fisherman isn't what's important.
It's the lure that matters. My catch will definitely be bigger than yours!
What nonsense.
I'm telling you! I've caught more fish than you've seen!
I've eaten more fish than you've caught!
If you don't believe me, let's have a competition to see who can catch the bigger fish.
Okay! Come!
I got it!
I got one too!
Look! My fish is much bigger than yours.
My fish's head is bigger than yours!
But don't worry, in the future, your son will definitely fish better than you.
My son?
You're saying my wife will give me a son?
Of course.
Good! Wife, did you hear?
Just now Yunfan said that you will give me a son!
If he's right, and we have a son,
how about we call him Yunfan?
Are you taking advantage of me?
If our son can be like Yunfan,
handsome and dignified, that'd be good.
That's good. At least it'd be better than him.
What are you saying? Am I not handsome and dignified?
You do look a bit dignified.
But as for being handsome... you've still got some work to do.
Let's continue fishing for you!
-That's enough, Shili.-Alright.
I'll make you completely lose!
