Chinese Paladin 5: Clouds of the World- Episode 14 -
Besides seeking to broaden my horizons,
I came here to ask everyone—
Why did you ask me here?
Old Witch. You go first.
I'll butcher you, you brat!!
Alright, alright.
'Old Beauty' then. Go on.
If Old Beauty doesn't want to say...then how about you, Old Handsome?
What a weirdo.
I called him 'Handsome,' but he wants to kill me?
You shut up!
Are you trying to side with one of your own?
His guilt is yet to be determined.
My comrades and family were all slaughtered by Clean Sky Sect!
Everyone knows this!
The evidence is as clear as day, what's there to prove!
I'm going to butcher him!
Stop it. Please calm down, Sect Leader Xiahou.
He wasn't even born yet, 20 years ago.
The crimes of the previous generation has nothing to do with him. We can't condemn him for that.
Have a seat.
Oh, and your two friends as well. Please pardon my rudeness.
Please sit.
Come.
Sit.
Amazing. You don't even pretend to be impartial.
Amazing. What a happy family reunion!
What reunion? He was just being reasonable.
Do you think everyone's like you?
Hacking here and there... why don't you
go be a butcher? You can hack all the meat you want then!
I shall butcher you first!
In my opinion, we should act as Ms. Ouyang has suggested.
Let's wait for everyone to gather before we decide further.
Fine. I'm going to let you live for a while more.
Grandfather and grandson should make good use of this opportunity
to have a happy reunion!
Men! Tie him up!
This IS Broken Swords Heights, right?
Right!
I thought we went the wrong way, and ended up in 'Shangguan Heights' by mistake.
If not, then why is someone acting like she's the owner of this place?
Long You. Yurou.
I fought with Shangguan Ya before.
I know what kind of a person he is.
If the son's an arrogant ass,
do you think that the mother will be a generous and compassionate person?
-I'm going to end your life!-Madame!
Madame, don't stoop to a kid's level.
Chief, shouldn't you say something?
Let's see if you are really
as impartial as you say you are!
Broken Swords Heights is a place of reason.
You may move freely within
the boundaries of the Heights.
However, if you attempt to leave
then don't blame me for being ruthless!
Thanks for your care and concern.
I won't forget your kindness.
Mr. Jiang, you can rest easy.
As long as you're proven to be innocent, we won't harm you.
Lord Huangfu, I do not doubt your words.
However, it's hard to trust those people
who are crazed about killing
others!
Before this matter reaches a conclusion, I guarantee your safety!
If anyone dares to hurt you,
as the Great Chief, I shall punish them duly!
Fine! How impartial of you...
Not anyone can match up to the Great Chief's magnanimity!
Awesome, awesome, this is just awesome!
I can't believe that
I managed to get back
at them!
A brat of Gale Fortress
acting so defiantly in front of the Families
is no mean feat indeed!
Most importantly, I did all that in front of the Great Chief!
I feel that Chief Ouyang is a man of reason.
A man of reason? What reason?
Green Lotus Town's the furthest I've ever been since I was born.
I can't believe that I've to travel all this way to stand trial!
I was so angry at them for calling me a bastard child!
I'm here to find out the truth once and for all!
Yunfan, we understand your feelings, but—
Staying alive is the priority?
If they're really bent on having me dead,
it will be useless even if I were to beg for mercy.
I can't embarrass my mom or Dad.
Even if I do die, I'll still be reincarnated.
And I'll be as good as new.
You certainly are full of courage.
However, a hero chooses his fights.
Yurou is right. Chief Ouyang is a reasonable man.
Even if Madame Ouyang and Sect Leader Xiahou are in cahoots,
there's still Mr. Huangfu.
So you don't have to worry about them.
If you want Chief Ouyang to give a fair judgment,
then you must cooperate with him and not stir up trouble.
If you act rashly, you'll only fall into their trap.
If he really is as fair and reasonable as you say,
then why would he have tolerated the Shangguans' behaviour for so many years?
Even if he's not a bad person,
he's still a selfish old man who doesn't do anything.
He's your grandfather, you know.
Ms. Ouyang.
-What do you want?-Come with me.
To where?
Chief wants to see you.
You're Yunfan?!
Qian'er's son?
Come in please!
What do you guys want, huh?
You be polite! In order not to make things difficult for you,
they came all the way here to receive you!
Hui'er!
Don't worry. Even I know this much.
Anyway, I won't think of myself as a guest-of-honor.
C-come in, do come in!
Come.
Child, have a seat.
Father, you sit first.
How about you take a seat first? You can't possibly expect them to wait for you.
It's not like we have anything to say. I'll just remain standing.
You guys have a seat.
Child, your grandparents just want to
get to know you better.
You're all grown up. You look so much like your mother!
It's just a pity that she...
You promised not to cry.
It's all in the past now...
Yeah. Mom has been dead for so many years. What's there to be sad about?
Yunfan, ever since your mother passed away,
your grandma has been pining over her.
I can't believe that we outlived our daughter...
Child, you and your mother
must have suffered terribly.
Not at all.
We were very happy.
As a single mother... she must have been judged!
She wasn't.
How was her life like at Gale Fortress?
Like a normal one!
How did she manage to raise you by herself?
Like how you should raise a child!
Child, tell us if you have any unspoken miseries!
I never had any miseries!
I've always led an extremely happy life!
Yunfan!!
Your grandparents are just concerned for you.
Can't you answer them properly?
Hui'er, we're all family here.
Family?
All of your questions...
Aren't you just trying to get me to say that Mom and I led an extremely miserable life?!
Well, are you happy now?!
N-no! That's not what we meant!
Fine.
THEN LET ME TELL YOU!
When I was young, Mom and I were looked down upon.
We had no kin to depend on and hid at Ape Crying Peak for many years.
Later, we managed to survive thanks to the generosity of Gale Fortress!
My mom had no kin to rely on
and we were all alone.
She never once cried in front of me...
Even until the day she died.
Even until the day she died... she was never once happy!
DO YOU GET IT NOW?
ARE YOU SATISFIED NOW? HUH?
Jiang Yunfan! Don't go overboard!
Don't go overboard? THIS IS THE TRUTH!
WHO'S GOING OVERBOARD NOW?
I've finished. If there's nothing else,
I'm off.
Yunfan!
Timing and subtitles brought to you by The Clouds of the World Team @ Viki
Family?
They left my mom and I to fend for ourselves.
Why are they trying to be kind to me now? How fake!
I don't need their sympathy!
I DON'T NEED IT!
-Stay away!-Yunfan!
STAY AWAY!
Yunfan!!
-I'm not a demon!-Yunfan!
I'M NOT!!
Don't be like this—!
Yunfan!
Yunfan.
Yurou, I'm sorry. I must have scared you just now.
It's okay. Are you feeling better now?
The mantra that I learned from that old Priest really helps.
I don't know which Sect he belongs to though.
If he knew of my parentage, then I'm sure he wouldn't have taught me so much.
Of course, he would!
Why?
Because... you have a kind heart.
Don't think too much.
Your birth doesn't matter. What matters is the choices you make.
You live an upright life.
Why must you make yourself unhappy by punishing yourself for the mistakes of others?
"Are you hungry? I'm really tasty."
Don't let yourself go hungry. Cheer up.
Here!
Yurou, if only everyone was as good as you...then there wouldn't be any conflicts in this world...
and it wouldn't matter whose son I am...
I'm not as good as you say.
However, I believe that there are definitely more good than bad people out there!
Is that so?
You don't think so?
I used to think so. But now...
Then do you know where this peach came from?
Did you know that there's a peach garden in this stern-looking place?
I remember you told me
that your mom loves eating peaches with you.
I don't think there's a connection.
Well, I can't say if there is.
But if I was you, I'd rather be optimistic.
I think that your mom would've liked to think that they built the garden for her.
If they cared so much for her, then why didn't they come find us?
Think about it more carefully.
Even if they found the both of you,
that wouldn't necessarily be a good thing.
Everyone was out to kill
Clean Sky Sect back then.
Had Chief found the both of you,
even he would have no choice but to turn you guys in.
Come. Follow me.
Look. Is the decoration and layout of this room familiar to you?
It looks roughly like the inside of our hut back on Ape Crying Peak.
Then I guessed correctly.
This must be your mom's room.
So what?
Although the furniture is still around, their owner is long gone.
Then you should know the reason why your mom built a house just like this one.
She missed this place.
Similarly, Chief was awaiting her return.
Everything's still in their original places.
Besides, the place is kept clean.
No matter when she decides to return, she can immediately move in
and resume her life.
They share the same wish.
Dad, have some tea. I just brewed some!
Qian'er, where did you go off to play yesterday?
My pet turtle is missing!
Hush, don't cry. Dad'll find it back for you.
Dad, let me massage your shoulders for you.
You must have made your mother angry again and
want me to put in a good word for you, right?
Yunfan!
Yurou, do you see those masks?
I do.
The yellow one's called Power. The red one's Fate.
Mom used to tell me stories using them.
Then... tell me, too.
One day, Power asked Fate, "Just how are you better than me?"
Fate replied, "Well, what do you want to compare?"
Power said, "Long lives and short lives; success and failure;
nobility and normalcy; riches and poverty—I can make them all happen."
Then Fate replied, "Pengzu's not as bright as Yaoshun,
yet he lived to be 800.
Yanyuan's far brighter than most; yet he died early.
Confucius was more knowledgable than Zhuge Liang;
but he was exiled.
Dixin's character was not any better than Qi Zi, Wei Zi, or Bi Gan;
yet he was Emperor."
That was your mom's favorite story as a kid.
She never got tired of listening to it.
I don't know when it started, but she refused to bow down to Fate.
Had Ouyang Qian listened to Fate,
then she would've been spared all the misery.
You can insult me, but not my mother!
Don't you dare be rude to my mom, you bastard child!
I dare you to call me that again!
Yunfan and I are talking about family matters so I do not have time to entertain others.
Don't blame me for being impolite!
Ya'er, let's not disturb a family gathering.
Do you think that I'll be afraid of you because this is your home?
My home?
This place isn't my home!
Yunfan! Mr. Shangguan.
Fine. I'll spare you on account of Miss Tang, you bas—
Imbecile.
Miss Tang, I'll be off then.
I've heard of Chief's legendary tea-making skills. May I have the honor of drinking some?
Sure!
You guys go ahead.
Yunfan!
I'm a boor from Gale Fortress. I don't know about tea-making.
Nor do I understand how to appreciate the tea ceremony.
I only know how to drink liquor with my buddies.
Bye.
I want food! I'm hungry, I want food!
I'm hungry!
Shut up!
Big Brother, you head back to headquarters first. I'll handle her.
I'll make sure she's obedient!
Alright. Our ambush on the Heights will be dangerous.
If we spare her, maybe she'll be of use to us.
Don't worry. She's so adorable that I can't bear to kill her.
Stupid Poisonous Shadow! Hurry and give me food!
Do you think you'll still be able to shout if I slice your tongue off?
I dare you to!
But if I don't... you'll just continue to shout.
I'm not hungry anymore, I'm not!
You want the Sacred Pearls, right? I'll give them all to you!
Really?
Yes-yes, all of them!
Where are they?
In my pouch! Here!
What? Don't want the antidote?
I'm hungry. Go get me some food.
If not... you'll rot to death from the poison!
Stupid Poisonous Shadow. It was kind of me to let you off with just a bite.
I can win you even with both my hands tied.
Hey, Mr. Bug. Come and gnaw these ropes off with your sharp teeth!
Aren't you going to share this with your bro?
No, you can't have this; give it back!
Looks like it's a gift from a beauty. No wonder you're so anxious to have it back.
However, it seems like you've worried this beauty.
You're such a heartless person.
It's all my fault that Miss Yurou is caught in my mess.
But...
Long You, my affairs have nothing to do with the both of you.
How about you bring Miss Yurou with you and leave?
Leave?
Alright. We should all leave. Now.
There's no place to run to for me, Jiang Shili's son!
I say, Yunfan. There's obviously a way out of this mess.
Why must you stay here?
What must I do to knock some sense into you?
I know what to call you now.
Dumb.
But... this is my mom's home...
-Come with me!-What do you want?
There's no time to explain!
Are you coming or not?
Fine, I will. Let's see what kind of game you're playing—
Ms. Ouyang, where're you bringing them all to in the middle of the night?
Aren't you guys sleepy?
I am. Very. But I don't dare sleep.
What if this bastard child escapes? How can I account to the rest of the world then?
I wouldn't be able to bear the guilt.
Where are you guys going?
Sect Leader Xiahou, this is a private family matter. Please excuse me.
Let's go.
This bastard child is full of sin. Even if it's a family matter,
everyone must be present in case he tries to escape.
Play along.
Surely you righteous people won't just stand by and watch?
Stop your tricks! Birds of a feather—!
That's right.
You guys are birds of a feather indeed!
Were Ms. Ouyang to die, it would be apt redemption for her sister's sins.
Why stop them from doing so?
Watch your mouth, Old Witch! What redemption?
I'm going to make you suffer horribly
before I kill you!
-You dare—!-Everybody STOP!
You guys leave.
NO!
I'm in charge of this place.
I shall bear all the consequences.
You're so biased. How are you fit to be the Great Chief!
As long as it's the will of the majority, I'm ever ready to give up my position.
But I'm still the Great Chief for now!
Therefore, everyone must obey my orders!
And what if I refuse?!
What do you think?
You guys go.
You'll regret this!
I don't have many years to go. Even if I do regret,
how many days are left for me to do so?
Let's go.
Slow down! You're still bleeding!
You guys hurry and go!
Let me bandage you.
It's just a scrape. It's no big deal.
I really don't get it. You guys insisted on me coming here.
And now, you guys are willing to offend them in order to help us escape.
You even got hurt. Just what's going on?
You're making me confused.
We arrested you because we have to be upright and just in our actions.
It's the same principle that's guiding our release of you now.
Is there a new development?
We got wind that Clean Sky Sect is planning to ambush the Heights.
Are they coming for Yunfan?
With their strength, they won't succeed.
Yet they're throwing their lives in danger just to save you!
Save me? For what? We're not comrades!
Calm down. There must be more to this for Ms. Ouyang to think of releasing you.
Mr. Long guessed right.
You saw their attitudes just now.
If she knew that Yunfan is connected with Clean Sky Sect, then she'll be the first to kill him!
-You guys search over there!-Yes, Sir!
Hurry, come with me!
Go in! Hurry!
Hurry! Don't let them escape!
-Is there anyone there? -No!
Go there!
Mother.
How's the situation outside?
Clean Sky Sect seems ready to give it their all.
It seems like the Shangguans knew about the ambush beforehand.
It looks like a bloodbath is inevitable.
Yunfan, from this night on, your grandpa can no longer guarantee your safety.
You guys better leave now!
You're the ones who arrested me, and now you're letting me go?
What do you treat me as?
Do you want to know the truth? Fine, I'll tell you the truth right now.
Why are you releasing that bastard child when you should just kill him now!
I've already explained!
I'm waiting for everyone else to gather before coming to a decision!
Do you think that this will save
your precious grandchild from dying?
Let me tell you! The gathering tomorrow is but a farce.
They will vote to execute Jiang Yunfan!
We suspected that you'd be biased, so we've already made plans to cooperate.
They'll all be here tomorrow to watch the execution
and witness the extermination of this bastard child!
I knew that the Shangguans would be displeased.
But if you think that I'll bow down and do as you say
then you must be mistaken!
We'll see about that.
You're better off preparing for your precious grandson's funeral!
Father!
Father, the scouts have reported seeing Bloody Hand leading a bunch of people here.
They must be coming for Yunfan.
The Heights are surrounded, both inside and out.
Bloody Hand's easier of the two forces to placate.
As long as Yunfan's safe and sound, they won't move rashly.
As for the Shangguans... they won't miss this opportunity to topple and replace me as Chief!
Take Yunfan and leave.
We mustn't let him shoulder the blame for his father.
Let me be the one to do so.
Do you understand now? We won't lie to you.
Hurry and go.
Child, you've suffered all these years,
but don't blame Grandpa.
He didn't have a choice!
Yunfan, let's go.
I'm staying.
Yunfan, they're all coming at you, you can't stay!
No one will make the decisions for me.
This is Broken Swords Heights! You're not to misbehave!
Didn't you guys say that a bloodbath is inevitable?
I just want to see how bad it can get!
Yunfan, let's leave.
Yurou, you leave with Long You.
I'm determined to stay.
Yunfan wants to stay and help.
I'm not leaving.
If I do, then wouldn't that count as me acknowledging that he's my grandfather? *(by accepting his help)
I'm not willing to let others think that—
Hui'er!
What right have you to slap me?
Do you think that we were happy these 20 years?
Do you think that we were not constantly worried about you these 20 years?
Your grandfather, as the Chief, has encountered and overcome numerous difficulties. Yet he still holds on.
Do you know why?
DO YOU?
Alright. Don't say more.
If I don't, he'll think that his mom and him are the most miserable people on this planet!
Your grandfather became the Chief
in order to use his powers to ensure your safety in this world!
Otherwise, with your bloodline, do you think that you could've spent all those peaceful years at Gale Fortress undetected?!
Who started this entire mess in the first place?!
That slap just now was on behalf of my sister!
For you, she was able to endure the insults of the world.
She definitely would not want you to throw your life away like this!
Right. She's right.
Child, this is a map of the secret tunnels underneath the Heights.
Take it, and find a way to escape!
We should be safe now.
I don't understand why Clean Sky Sect is saving us now.
They could've done so on our way here, or at the Huangfu retreat.
Why now? Aren't they just picking a fight?
You're right. What's their motive?
Shangguan Ya said that trouble was coming.
He must have been referring to this impending bloodbath.
That's possible.
Let's get out of here first.
-Let's go.-Go!
Surround them!
Waiting does produce effects.
You have one, but so do I!
Capture that bastard!
Yunfan!
Yunfan! Leave!
-I won't! -Have you forgotten what your grandma said to you?
Yunfan! GO!
Heaven is kind to those who persist. Although I can't kill Jiang Shili with my bare hands,
but, at least, I can get revenge by killing his son!
I've never met you before, and I've no qualms with you.
I've not killed your family either.
Why is the strong bullying the weak? Aren't you afraid of ridicule?
You have not killed my family... but my wife, my son, they were killed by your father!
I'm going to avenge them, even at the expense of my life!
Mr. Long, strike him now!
I can't believe that Jiang Shili has such a cowardly son.
Let's see where you can run to!
I'm going to kill you!
Bastard! Why don't you try running now? Huh?!
There's no place for demons like you!
Today, I shall send you to meet your father... in hell!
I'm not... I'm not the son of Jiang Shili!
Now you're starting to resemble your father.
However... evil will never prevail!
I, Xiahou Zhang, am letting everyone down
by striking him down before the execution tomorrow! But I've waited 20 years for this moment
and I'm really unable to delay a moment more!
Please forgive me
for not letting everyone have the thrill of seeing his execution!
Don't worry. I used my spells. He won't be able to catch up with us.
Xiao Man, thanks.
Were it not for your help, I would've been dead!
Wait, why are you here?
It's a long story.
I overheard that old Shangguan bitch saying that she was coming here to exterminate a demon.
Then... I thought that it must be you!
So I went to inform Bloody Hand and the rest, and came here with them!
Are they here to rescue me?
I guess so. Aren't you guys comrades?
How is that possible?! I'm human, they're demons! Stop joking.
And here I thought that you've grown tired of the human world, and would rather return to being a demon.
Huh?
Well, forget it if you didn't hear me. I don't like to repeat myself.
That old Shangguan bitch is always scheming to harm you.
Now she has gone looking for trouble, luring Bloody Hand and the rest here.
Isn't it good that she gets her just desserts?
I don't want anyone to die because of me.
And I don't want my descendants to be in my position.
"That bloodbath at Broken Swords Heights was because of your father."
"Your father was a murderer."
"Your father is the bloodthirsty demon king."
Whether you want it or not, this bloodbath is inevitable.
What has that got to do with you?
It concerns the lives of many, so, of course, it's my business!
I don't know about that, but
I do know that that bitch is scheming to be the Chief in the midst of this chaos!
No way. I must confront her now.
How're you going to stop them?
I'm gonna go find Bloody Hand!
But you're injured!
Jiang Yunfan. Jiang Yunfan!
That bastard child managed to escape!
You're the one who let him go. Explain yourself!
I have my own reasons.
You've "released a tiger back into the wild!" How will you explain yourself!
He's no ordinary human. He has the potential to create havoc!
Even if you die a hundred, a thousand times, you won't be able to redeem yourself!
His name's Jiang Yunfan!
Miss Tang, now that things have already come to this
you should stop defending him!
Excuse me. I was exhausted from my fight with Mr. Shangguan.
Oh, right. Mr. Shangguan, I do hope you're not injured by me.
You—!
Don't get cocky!
Thanks for the advice.
Everyone calm down. Our common enemy now is Clean Sky Sect.
We should not fight amongst ourselves.
Chief, what do you think we should do?
Ouyang Ying is no longer fit to be Chief!
Remember the first condition of being Chief?
"He mustn't aid the demons"!
That's right! Ouyang Ying secretly helped the demon to escape, so he has violated it.
Therefore, we must nominate another Chief!
It's not wise to switch leaders so suddenly.
But still better than obeying the orders of a traitor, don't you think?
How about this? I propose that my mother be the provisional Chief!
So you've finally revealed your true colors.
I agree with him.
How about it? The power now rests with the rest of the Families.
Ouyang Ying is a traitor who's not fit to lead!
As for Mr. Huangfu... it doesn't matter if you agree or not.
Victory belongs to me!
