Chinese Paladin 5: Clouds of the World- Episode 20 -
Big Sister Yurou, slow down! I can't keep up anymore!
I saw Junior Master Ling Yin leave the main hall just now.
The six sages must have decided how to deal with Yunfan.
I'll go find Teacher now, there will definitely be time!
Big Sister Yurou! Are you okay?
Xiao Man!
You...are you really Big Sister Yurou?
It couldn't be that demons have snuck into Mt. Shu...?
Xiao Man, Xiao Man! Pass me the black nightshade that's on me, hurry!
Hurry! Hurry up!
Sister Yurou, what happened?
I've always known that you had a sickly body, but I never thought it was this bad.
My illness is scarier than what you've just seen.
I've been prolonging my life through the blood jade all these years.
But now...it seems that the end is near.
I have 3 more months to live at the most.
3 months?! Don't scare me!
I'm not.
I'll explain things to you when there's time.
Oh right. Remember: don't tell Yunfan!
Help me keep this secret.
Don't worry! I won't because you asked me not to!
Let's hurry and find Teacher then.
If we go now, it's still not too late.
You're already like this, yet you're still worried about him?
He sure is lucky.
Let's go.
Junior Master Cao Gu. Is Sister Yurou always like this?
It wasn't as common in the past.
These few months, Yurou's body has been weakening.
It's getting harder and harder to control her illness.
How about I find Master Haitang, and ask her to concoct a healing spell?
Xiao Man. Yurou's illness is a special case. Don't joke about it.
How is that a joke? Since you can't cure her, why not let my teacher try?
I sent your teacher a letter in the past,
discussing Yurou's illness.
Your teacher couldn't come up with a way either.
Really?
I'm surprised there's an illness that neither of you can cure!
Alright now leave Yurou in my care. I'm going to start treating her.
Okay then.
Sister Yurou. I'm off.
Teacher!
I'm fine. I'll be alright after an hour's rest.
Every time I have a relapse, it's always Teacher who sacrifices her energy to let me recover.
I feel guilty.
Silly Child. I have watched you grow up.
You're like a daughter to me. What's some energy to me?
As for the 20 years' deadline, you don't have to worry about it.
Even if the blood jade loses its effect, I'll think of another way to prolong your life.
Is there another way?
There'll always be hope.
But...isn't the blood jade the only way to prolong a life?
Is there really another thing that could replace it?
Is there really such a relic in this world?
Let's not continue this. You'll know in the future.
Yurou, why did you suddenly have a relapse today?
I was in a rush to return, so I was feeling hurried and exasperated.
My mood threw my energies into a turmoil.
It's Jiang Yunfan again, right?
Master. Were you in a meeting just now?
Your various Senior and Junior Masters were all in a meeting.
Then...did you plead for Yunfan?
What did they decide? What did the interim Sect Leader say?
Plead? I won't plead for him.
Jiang Yunfan may be a little on the noisy side, but he hasn't broken any rules.
So there's no need for pleading.
Then about his trespassing...?
You're referring to his getting lost in the Mist Forest?
Right. He got lost.
Because he's new, so he's too familiar with Mt. Shu.
He got lost in a moment of confusion.
And I was worried that they would punish him.
This is but a trifling matter.
It looks like Teacher's determined not to touch on this topic. Yunfan won't be chased out then.
Look, that degenerate bastard child is here again.
Son of a demon. I've never viewed him as one of us.
What do you want?
Are you sick in the head?
What are you doing?
Senior Brother Kun has been a good friend.
We're here to invite you to a round of drinks.
You guys came here just to invite me?
That's right.
We'll be waiting outside.
Isn't it a talent to be able to lead such a carefree life in Mt. Shu?
Sect rules state that unless it's for the flying-sword competition, we're not to be here.
Senior Brother. Isn't this good?
Then no one will discover if we drink here.
No one?
What're you looking at, what're you looking for?
Come!
What's wrong?
Senior Brother. Don't tell me you're thinking of sneaking this liquor back to share with some Senior Sister of mine?
What're you saying?
Then let's drink! Here.
Drink.
Out with it. I've already drunk this cup.
Why did you guys seek me out?
Senior Brother is good indeed. We can't hide anything from you.
Actually, I invited you because I want to express my thanks.
Senior Brother gave up finishing in first place for the sake of my safety.
I feel bad.
As a respectable and righteous member of Shu, saving a life is more important to me than a competition.
So don't misunderstand.
There's no way that we'll ever be close friends, alright?
So don't go all friendly on me now.
Senior Brother sure can hold his liquor well.
What're you guys staring for? Drink!
Come!
Cheers!
Junior Brother Jiang. You don't know how much I envy you.
Everyone, from the Seven Sages right down to the youngest disciple, holds the Sect rules in the strictest regard.
There're even rules when it comes to crying.
Senior Brother is exaggerating.
Junior Brother Jiang. You don't get it.
From the bottom of my heart, I don't wish for your expulsion.
Luckily, the interim Leader and the rest
were willing to let matters go.
I felt so relieved!
Really?
Really!
I heard them myself. Would I lie to you?
Then...I wonder if Senior Brother has heard of the holy beast of Mt. Shu?
Holy beast?
Holy beast...
I think there's a forbidden cave
which houses one...
Senior Brother. What kind of a holy beast is it? Tell me.
This holy beast...I haven't seen it.
But legend has it that it has been there since 20 years ago.
However, no one has seen this holy beast before.
But I believe there must be records on the holy beast in the library.
Impossible. I've been through them all. There's no mention of it.
Long You, Long You. A newbie's a newbie after all.
I bet you're not aware there's another section within the library.
It's protected by a hidden lever specially designed by Junior Master Yu Shu.
No one is allowed access to it.
So I think that the records must be there...
The hidden section of the library...since the mechanism was the work of Master
then it mustn't be a cakewalk.
I can't possibly go and ask him.
Even if I do, he won't say.
That's right. Let's find an opportunity to sneak in.
Maybe we'll even be able to crack his mechanism.
Since there's a clue, we mustn't give up.
Let's find a chance to investigate!
Can I drink now?
Oh no! We just can't win Senior Brother in drinking!
We're not going to stop till we all get drunk!
Of course!
Drink! Drink!
Until we get wasted!
Try pooling your energy to your feet.
Let it merge as one with the sword.
Don't be hasty. Take your time.
You must control your energy
and not let it control you.
As long as you learn from Shu, you'll definitely grow powerful in no time.
Expert! Who're you?
Expert!
If this dream is real, then who is he?
Xiao Man. What're you looking for? It has been 2 hours.
Fine, fine. I'll tell you, but you're not to tell your Teacher.
Go on.
I'm finding poisonous bugs for my slimming spell.
Slimming spell?
I'm serious!
I don't want you to become a fatty every time you have a relapse.
It doesn't matter to me.
But what if others were to see it and make nasty remarks?
You'll definitely be hurt.
Xiao Man. I don't know what to say.
You don't have to say anything.
We're good friends. Your troubles are my troubles.
I'm a pretty girl as well so
I understand how you feel.
I'm going to go catch some bugs now!
Found them?
Look!
Baby rabbits!
They really are baby rabbits!
Look how ugly they are as babies.
But they may grow to be even prettier than their mom!
Sister Yurou. Do you think we were also ugly when we were just born?
Maybe.
Life starts from zero, and then we age...
It feels so strange.
Sister Yurou. What do you think I will look like
when I grow to be your age? Will there be any difference?
Will I age?
Or will I be like Junior Master Ling Yin, and remain beautiful?
You don't have to answer. I know
that I'll be even prettier than her when I grow up!
Will I age? Will I remain beautiful?
I don't know either. I probably won't get the chance...
I only have 3 months left...
How come you're flying this fast?
How is it? My skills improved, didn't they?
How did you improve so fast?
Don't think I'm lying when I tell you! I had a dream the other day.
There was an expert in my dream. He told me how to use my energy to control my flying.
I tried it today, and got it!
From a dream?
Yeah! A dream.
However...I feel there's more to the dream than meets the eye.
I think it has something to do with the holy beast.
You mustn't trespass into the cave to find it!
Interim Sect Leader may have let you off this time, but he may not next time!
I got it. I won't do it if there are others around.
As long as you promise not to, I'll find out more about the holy beast for you.
Actually, besides trespassing the cave,
I think there's another way to find out more about the holy beast.
I heard there's a secret section in the Illusion Library that contains highly confidential documents.
Are you referring to the Illusion Library in the Heaven's Law Palace?- Yeah.
I'm sure we'll be able to find more information on it.
That area's under patrol.
It's not that easy to sneak in.
But now that you say...I recall that
Wanwan's on duty there for the next 2 days.
Wanwan?
Yes. Wanwan.
She'll definitely help if you ask.
Go and find her.
Now what shall I do?
I'm not too close with her.
How about you go ask her?
You two aren't close?
Yeah, we aren't! We haven't spoken much to each other.
I only view her as a fellow Sect member.
Now that's troublesome.
I'm not...that close with her either.
It looks like we better look for another way.
But it's a rare opportunity...
Let's just try it anyway.
Thanks.
Are we really sneaking in? I don't feel like it now that I'm here...
Why? Don't want to know about the holy beast anymore?
That's not it. I just feel like I've been in trouble too many times lately.
If I'm discovered, then won't I be letting that shitty priest down?
Since we're already here, we should just go investigate.
Didn't you say that you won't give up till you get to the bottom of your strange dream?
Yunfan. I've known you for a while now. Don't you think
that things just keep happening around you?
I predict that you'll run into even stickier situations in the future.
Why not use this chance to clear things up so that you'll be better prepared?
What stickier situations can there be?
Jiang Shili was already vanquished by Shu 20 years before.
Even if Clean Sky Sect refuses to give up
I'm already a disciple of Shu. What can they do to me?
It's not as simple as you say. You are no ordinary human.
Forget it. "There's always a solution to every situation."
We'll discover the truth sooner or later. Let's go then.
According to Kun Fei Xue, the mechanism is at the very end of the library.
Let's go.
This is it!
But how come there's nothing but musical notes?
It looks like the code to unlock it is a tune.
A tune?
It looks like I'm right.
That melody sounds familiar. It seems that I've heard it before...
Really?
Maybe you've heard me playing it.
Yu Shu set Ling Yin's favourite melody as the passcode.
Is it a coincidence, or is there more to it...?
Long You, Long you! I found it.
This is the secret record of Mt. Shu.
It contains information on the various restricted areas, but nothing on the holy beast...
That's strange.
What are you doing?
What's that smell? You hadn't washed your hair?
What smell huh? Didn't I take a bath with you yesterday?
Yunfan, be careful!
Yunfan. - Yeah?
This...is on fire.
Then why don't you put it out?!
Yunfan!
Let's get out of here!
Junior Master will kill us!
Let's go!
Sneaking into the Illusion Library in the middle of night. Of course you guys must be up to no good.
Say it. What were you guys looking for?
We—
Junior Master. Disciple did flip through a few scrolls.
However, it's definitely not for a shameful purpose.
It's because Disciple has fallen in love with a woman
who's extremely frosty and constantly rebuffs my advances.
Hence, I lost my appetite recently.
That's why I got Yunfan to search for the answer with me. - You—!
Good. Since you don't want to confess
then I'll just leave things to your Masters!
You idiot!
You really—!
You better clean up your act and stop getting into trouble!
First it was the Pagoda, and now you've burnt the Library!
What are you up to next huh?!
Teacher. I...really didn't mean to.
It sure is tough being your Master!
What am I supposed to do now
that you've burnt Junior Master Yu Shu's collection huh?
That's alright. I frequently make disciples copy scrolls as a punishment.
There are numerous copies of these scrolls.
I'll decide on the punishment once I've been to the library
to assess the damage.
Brat! Just sit there and copy.
You've burnt those scrolls so I'm letting you copy
the mantras instead.
What a lucky break for you!
This kid. His demonic and immortal energies
are in such a fierce battle
yet he's completely unaware of it.
He picked up Shu's mantras not too long ago
and it has helped to curb his demonic energy.
Looks like I've underestimated the demon king.
He must have gotten to the kid through some means.
Guiding him onto the wrong path in order to boost the kid's demonic powers!
Teacher. I—
When can I stop?
I didn't come here to be a scribe.
Don't be hasty. Copy these mantras out well.
I'll definitely teach you some amazing sword skills then.
What kind of sword skills?
You'll definitely have a chance to see them! Be good now.
Remember it now. This is the Imperial Blade skill.
And this is Mt. Shu's Rain of Swords.
Rain?
How's that?
Master, Master! That's just amazing!
I'm gonna go copy now, you must teach them to me!
The young sure are excitable. Look at your grinning face.
The Library is protected by spells, so the damage isn't great.
Hence, I can't be bothered to mete out a punishment.
Thank you Master.
Since the passcode has been cracked, I must replace it...
What shall I change it to...
Master. That tune
is Junior Master's favourite, isn't it?
Yeah. It is.
I've heard her play it countless times.
Naturally I've memorised it.
Looks like Master's feelings for Junior Master are special.
I'm her Senior Brother.
It's natural to look after my Junior Sister.
However...her heart's consumed by feelings that pull her in opposite directions.
This is what I'm most worried about.
But your appearance may just be the key
to unlock her heart.
I'd rather stay here with Teacher
and help you.
Wouldn't it be better if you manage to do both?
If you help Junior Sister to overcome her troubles, that'll be the same as helping me.
It looks like everyone here
has someone they secretly like.
Interesting.
Everytime there's something fun, you guys never think to call me!
Why would we think of you? If we meet any trouble
you'll definitely be the first to flee!
Rubbish! When did I do that?
I'm the one who's the most loyal to her friends!
For my friends, I'm willing to set a library on fire. How about you?
I—!
I will...
Anyway, you guys went there to find out more about the holy beast right?
If it was up to me, I wouldn't bother doing that!
Let's go. Zhao Ren Fan, we're heading to the cave now!
Aren't you afraid of getting expelled?
What's there to be afraid of? What's so good about this place anyway?
It's boring to be here for so long!
Let's just take things as they come. Come on!
Right. Let's be off.
Hey! The two of you!
Why're we heading to the cave all of a sudden?
I'm afraid we'll get into big trouble this time.
We'll be fine! They forgave him the other time, didn't they?
If it's me, I'm sure that Grandpa and Master
will not let them expel me! Besides,
I've been a part of Shu longer than he has!
But!
Relax. We're off!
Look! What's that?
Everyone be careful!
Xiao Man be careful! This must be the work of the Six.
Don't touch them! If not, the energy will reverberate and harm you instead!
Then we shall we do?! We've already made it this far, we can't possibly turn back now!
Since we can't find an entrance here, let's try another place.
Mt. Shu has quite a few other caves. We should be able to find a connecting one.
Stupid Long You. Is this set up really the work of Grandpa and the rest?
No one here is capable of erecting such a powerful barrier besides the Sages.
Why is the security so tight?! It's not like the holy beast is anything special!
Isn't it just a sacred beast?!
All these measures just makes me suspect that there's something fishy.
Something fishy?
Ask Yunfan.
Yunfan! You can communicate with it, right?
I don't get it either. If I do,
then I wouldn't be so troubled by this enigma!
Everyone be careful!!
Is everyone fine?
This is the flower that was embroidered on Ling Yin's handkerchief.
Does this place have something to do with her sister?
This is Brother's favourite flower.
Maybe there are clues to his whereabouts here.
I recognise this flower from one of Teacher's medicinal books.
I think it's from the Netherworld.
Netherworld? Why would its flowers be here?
It seems strange that Mt. Shu will have flowers from the Netherworld.
This place must hold some secret.
Hey! There's an entrance over there! Let's hurry!
To think that such a pretty cave exist in Mt. Shu!
This seems way more interesting than that horrible cave with Bloody Hand in it!
I've been here for many years, but I've never heard Teacher mention this cave.
These totems are from my tribe.
Outsiders would never have known of them.
But why are they here in Mt. Shu?
Unless...Brother was here?
Brother had definitely been here.
Only those from our royal lineage will leave this behind as a mark.
But...what was Brother's purpose in leaving it behind?
Was he trying to leave a message for me?
I should probably look at it in private.
What're you looking at? - Xiao Man!
What's this?
Nothing. It's just an ordinary piece of rock.
Rock?
Give it back. Give it back!
What do you want?
I've forgotten what I wanted to say...
Forget it. He's returning soon.
I'll just leave it to another day.
I remember now! I've seen her before.
She is Ling Yin's sister, Ling Bo!
But...hasn't she been missing since 20 years ago?
Xiao Yin. I want to leave a message for you. *('Xiao' is an endearment, lit. 'Small')
When you're grown, and have heard it,
perhaps you'll be able to forgive me then.
I've grown up in Mt. Shu.
I hold strong feelings for Mt. Shu.
I stole the Sage Cauldron for his sake,
although I was betraying Shu by doing so, it was not to harm others,
but to save lives.
If there comes a day when you'll be able to visit the Netherworld,
and look at their way of living,
then you'll be able to understand why Sister had to do what I did.
The Netherworld...
What do you want?
What's going on? What's happening to her?
I think someone has entered the cave.
She was probably knocked backwards into the pool.
The background noises confirm this...
but this is Mt. Shu. Who will put her under duress?
Maybe it's someone who's not from Shu.
They're after her because they know she's injured.
Do you think she's dead?
I don't know about that.
Why would a vision from 20 years ago be visible now?
I just touched that piece of rock!
Long You had no effect on it.
How come it appeared after I touched it?
Maybe you possess some kind of special ability.
Special ability? How come I don't know about it?
How would I know? You should be asking your Master about it, not me.
Junior Master Ling Yin will find it hard to accept if she saw this.
How about— - How about we all keep this from her first?
We'll tell her about it when an opportunity arises.
I feel the same way! Anyway, it's not like I'll blab to her in the first place.
Why are the four of you here?
Junior Master. We were practicing sword-flying with Yunfan.
We saw that the scenery here was amazing, so we landed.
Yeah, yeah! It's a pretty place!
Junior Master, did you come here because of the scenery too?
Pretty?
How can the scenery be pretty here?
It's like this Junior Master. While we were flying,
we felt like relieving ourselves, and that's why we landed.
Yeah. We're just here to admire the view.
We were on our way back. Let's go.
Is it really that simple?
It is.
Junior Master. Is this cave pretty?
Actually, there's nothing much to see here.
Let's just go.
What's in your hands?
Show me.
I'm not holding anything.
Show me!
Me neither.
Yunfan! Yunfan! - Yunfan!
YUNFAN!
Yunfan! Wake up now.
Yunfan. Yunfan! Wake up!
This is...the voice of that Expert?
That which is fated to come has already arrived...
Yunfan.
You've finally come to.
Are you guys hiding something from me?
How can that be, Junior Master!
We're just worried for Yunfan, so we were in a hurry to leave.
Tell me the truth!
That stone will tell you the truth.
Xiao Yin. I want to leave a message for you.
When you're grown, and have heard it,
perhaps you'll be able to forgive me then.
How can Sister appear here?
