[Episode 20]
You finally said it.
I already knew that you were just using me and my father!
You don't even like food, clothes, or women, and you don't have any assets.
I can't figure out what it is that you're after.
Glory.
Can you attain glory if you help Muyun Sheng?
He's just the sixth prince!
Mister Mo...
What a great ambition you have.
If I help him...
Let this woman in the glass bead summon his true self out
and then...
kill him.
The disciples of the March Moon Sect have gone to great lengths...
We have struck against Novoland for thousands of years
to accomplish our mission.
Who would have known?
The most glorious moment...
It shall happen in my lifetime.
Who knew that...
I...
I was born at the right time.
I...
Killing Muyun Sheng...
How is that anything to be so proud of?
He is...
God.
I don't believe you.
The one in mortal frame who kills God...
shall be the Supreme Master.
I really can't wait.
This glass bead must be given back to Muyun Sheng.
The woman in the bead came for him.
You...
It's useless in your hands.
Your Highness, you're awake?
Go and get Lan Yu'er.
Yes.
Get some water for His Highness.
Yes.
Your Highness, you're awake?
Don't fret. The glass bead is here.
I knew that you'd look for it the moment you woke up.
I'll tie it on for you.
Lan Yu'er.
Did I...
Are you hurt?
Your Highness, don't worry.
The glass bead is just fine.
Pan Xi is fine as well.
You don't have to worry.
Why do I find you a bit strange today?
Am I?
I actually do have to talk to Your Highness about a matter.
Why are you suddenly so distant?
Female attendant Lan Yu'er has reached the age of 20.
From this day, I hereby submit my resignation to leave the palace.
I hope that Your Highness will give me your consent.
Stop fooling around.
Female attendant Lan Yu'er has reached the age of 20.
From this day, I hereby submit my resignation to leave the palace.
I hope that Your Highness will give me your consent.
Lan Yu'er.
Don't make such a joke.
I'm not fit to joke with Your Highness.
You're serious about this?
Yes.
You're going to leave me?
Yes.
Why?
It's because of me.
Sheng.
Sheng, rest assured.
Lan Yu'er is coming with me.
I'll treat her well.
You're leaving with him?
Yes.
Lan Yu'er, you're not happy to serve by my side?
I am happy.
But I'm not as happy as I am by his side.
At Your Highness's side
I'm constantly reminded that I'm no more than a female attendant.
But when I'm with Prince De...
he makes me feel that...
I am a woman.
Your Highness is a royal prince.
You can have as many servants as you wish.
Just let me go.
You've made up your mind?
Yes.
You have my consent.
Go on.
All right.
You must live happily.
Yes.
I'll grind the ink for His Highness one last time.
You'll need clean water for the ink.
Just a small amount of water.
Keep your movement gentle.
It must grind in the same direction.
You mustn't rush it.
I know.
That was what I taught you.
You were 12 years old when you first came to the palace.
That was what I taught you then.
I was so stupid then.
I spent a whole year learning this before I met your standard.
You were already doing it very well.
Lan Yu'er.
How does it feel to fall for someone?
It's just how I feel now.
I will protect you.
It's just that I'm disliked in the palace.
If you serve me, I'm afraid that in the future--
In the future?
What future?
All I know is that I have to wait on you tomorrow when you wake up
help you get dressed, and serve you breakfast.
I'll grind ink for you to use.
Then I'll pick a few flowers to replace the ones we have today.
Next, it will be lunch.
While you nap, I'll tidy up and categorize all your paintings.
I'll have your clothes scented with incense.
Then I'll chat with you when you wake up.
Next, it's dinner.
The nights are my favorite.
You'll be studying and I'll just do some random embroidery.
Neither of us will say a word.
It will just be nice and quiet.
Prince Sheng.
Don't think about the future.
There's just tomorrow.
As long as I can serve you
we can just get through one tomorrow after the next for a lifetime.
I won't get tired of it.
Female attendant Lan Yu'er sneaked into the palace and committed theft.
She refuses to accept punishment. How unacceptably unruly.
She is to be caned 40 strokes.
She serves me.
I'll see which of you dare to touch her!
If Your Highness would say...
If you would ask me to stay...
Then I...
I'm sorry.
Sheng.
I don't mean to take away your beloved.
It's just that all those around you have had mishaps.
I feel bad for her.
I know that.
You're right.
If you're leaving, get going soon.
I'm going to take away what's yours one thing at a time.
What did you say?
Lan Yu'er, you don't have to be too upset.
You can come back here whenever you want.
Prince De!
I've already swapped Prince Sheng's glass bead over.
You can have yours back.
Why bother keeping something useless?
You should also leave.
I have a question for you.
You named me Pan Xi. ("Pan" means to "expect.")
That means...
you miss me and look forward to seeing me.
Have you forgotten that all I wanted was to learn about occultism from you?
You mean it?
I mean it.
You're lying.
The pretty dimples of her artful smile.
The well-defined black and white of her eye.
You should know the ode that even children have heard.
"Pan Xi"...
It's just used to describe a lady's bright eyes.
I don't mean to imply anything else.
You've flattered yourself.
I understand.
However...
why do I feel upset?
This is such a beautiful moment.
All I want to do is gaze up at the stars.
Pan Xi.
Will you join me?
I just can't help it.
I actually like that name.
It sounds like a unique name when it's uttered by you.
But... I still like this name.
Don't come here again.
I don't want to learn about occultism anymore.
What about your father's illness?
You're not going to save him?
I actually don't really care about that.
I had only wanted to make a good name for myself in the palace.
We don't have to see each other again.
Stop coming here.
Do you mean every word you just said?
Since these words are uttered, I surely meant it.
All right, then.
Muyun Sheng, farewell.
Farewell.
Muyun Sheng...
Farewell.
Once is enough.
You should get going.
I really dislike it when ladies pester me.
Now that you're gone...
you should be safe.
Why?
You would even ask for a reason now?
That's the meaning of your existence.
You and Muyun Sheng are destined to stay by each other for life.
Will that be good for him or not?
He's just going back to how he should be in the first place.
There's no good or bad.
What if I don't wish to obey you?
I'm not scared.
I was originally a spirit.
I don't have a physical form.
I'm not scared.
When it has finished devouring you
I'll send another new slave of mine to deal with Muyun Sheng.
No, you mustn't!
How dare you defy me?
Your existence won't make any changes to Muyun Sheng's destiny!
Have you thought it through?
Are you still going to defy me?
You're peeking at me.
What are you doing?
Su Yu Ning.
Don't you find this village bizarre, somehow?
Give it some thought.
We have already been living here for a while.
Why aren't there other people coming into the village?
Even if the villagers are self-sufficient
they can't possibly make salt and copperware.
There must be other routes out of here.
We just don't know about them.
You suspect that the other route is underground?
Prince Lu and I ran into danger here in the woods.
However, the villagers are here to hunt in the woods every day
and pick truffles.
I had to pester the villagers to ask them one by one.
They simply wouldn't tell me what there is under the ground.
You've spoken to everyone in the village?
It's no wonder that a few days ago
Granny Ying's granddaughter, Xiao Ning, made a fuss about bringing you pecans.
Xiao Ning is quite friendly.
She's also pretty nice.
Besides, she also knows a lot about what's going on in the village.
Yes, she also has a very fair face.
And very long legs.
She also has a small waist.
Su Yu Ning.
Your expression is a bit glum.
I'm heading home now.
Prince Lu still needs to recuperate.
I have to bring these medicinal herbs to Nanny Su quickly.
If you want to see a cheerful face, go visit Xiao Ning.
Su Yu Ning. Su Yu Ning!
You're being too sensitive.
I'm stuck here in this village because of Prince Lu.
I've been asking around to ensure his safety.
Actually...
in my mind, there's no other lady who is more beautiful than you.
What did you say?
Nothing.
Oh, right.
Have you seen this crest anywhere in the village?
I've seen that on Nanny Su's bedroom door.
Did you ask her what this is?
I asked her on my first day here.
Nanny Su told me that it's the crest of Uncle Wang's clan.
The crest of a clan?
Why is the entire village using the same crest?
They don't share the same surname.
Think about it. Some have the surname of Ying
and some Wang, then there are also Long and Su.
There's still one other strange thing about this village.
Have you discovered it?
In every village, there's always a disparity in wealth.
It's the same with property.
No household can be the same.
However, in Yishui Village, it doesn't seem to be so.
At the foot of the mountain
every household has an equal share of the farmland.
Every portion of farmland is the same distance away from irrigation sources.
Farmland in poorer condition is set aside
rather than distributed unequally.
What is it?
Han Jiang.
Yes?
Are you giving me that flower?
That flower was growing just fine in the ground.
You picked it and then threw it away for nothing.
It would be sad.
Hold on! What do you mean?
Who is sad?
You shouldn't ask me.
You should ask Xiao Ning.
What are you doing out here?
I came out to have a stretch.
It will speed up my recovery.
I'll leave you to chat.
I'll head back inside first.
Su Yu Ning.
Come with me for a stroll.
Do I have to beg you?
Study partner Su.
Yes.
I'll come along.
No.
You have other duties.
Look for horses in the village that can take us up the mountain.
In a few days, we'll still have to get into Qing Yu Ridge.
Get three horses.
Must I look for horses now?
Yes.
I refuse.
Give me a reason.
Why can't I spend time alone with Miss Su?
You can spend time alone with anyone you want.
It's not my business.
But I have to keep you safe.
This village isn't what it seems.
We must take great caution.
Since you want to play bodyguard, fine.
You'll stay behind us.
I'll carry you.
Who is he?
What is it? Do you know him?
He's not Human.
How did you know that?
Who exactly is he?
Prince Ning Rui of the Duan Empire.
Muyun Sheng.
There's a descendant of the Charmers in Humans' royal court.
Interesting.
Father.
We've been waiting a long time for you.
According to the rumors
you went missing after being stabbed by Long Can.
Everyone thought that you were...
That's all in the past now.
I have returned.
Hall Master.
I, Wang Duo...
I have led 120 of our brothers in relocating Tian Luo Mountain Hall
to Yishui Village for six years.
We awaited the return of the Hall Master attentively.
Now that Hall Master has returned
I am at your disposal.
There are outsiders in the village?
Yes!
Get up.
Two young men have come.
One of them is injured.
Judging by his wound, he's most probably injured by the Blade Armor.
I have yet to figure out where they are from.
Therefore, I've kept them behind for the time being.
Investigate.
If your wound is almost healed
we'll leave this village as soon as possible.
It isn't safe here.
Su Yu Ning.
I heard that you can come up with poems spontaneously at the age of five.
Why don't you... come up with a poem for me now?
It grows upright in segments.
Its green leaves sprout albeit the wintry frost.
If you come to play in spring when all over plants flourish
you shall see that it still upholds itself with modesty.
Are you referring to the bamboo?
Am I like one?
Your Highness is a modest man who conducts yourself with respect.
You neither vie nor give in.
You can go with the flow but still uphold your dignity.
You're indeed like bamboo.
Su Yu Ning.
Watch your words.
Do you want everyone to know who he is?
Han Jiang.
Why are you so harsh to Miss Su?
I think that she has said it very well.
That sounds very much like me.
Bookworms like you can boast really well.
What is that about vying and not vying?
Listen, when he's going to vie for something
he can be very fierce!
I won't vie for anything that I shouldn't.
I won't give up something that I shouldn't either.
Su Yu Ning, make me a poem as well.
Fine jade under a red robe
wandering the world indifferent to others.
Holding its weapon high and staring with eyes of a tiger.
Going about on a rampage. ("Rampage" also means "going sideways.")
Eyes like a tiger.
Do you hear that?
I sound a lot more domineering.
Isn't that a crab?
Is... is that a crab?
His Highness guessed it right.
I like how crabs are always fond of protecting others.
Did you hear that?
I'm always fond of protecting others.
Su Yu Ning.
Do you believe in the prophecy of your natal chart?
It said that you were destined to become an empress.
Why would you ask me this?
If you believe in it...
I'll vie to win the throne for you.
If you don't...
I'll just spend a lifetime with you quietly.
I...
I'm fond of you.
Prince Lu, it isn't the time for this.
Compared to some others...
I can offer you a life of ease.
Come with me.
