~ Episode 44 ~
At this time, where will His Majesty be?
Looking at the time, he should have just finished with the morning court.
He might be strolling in the royal garden or went back to his chambers.
Chambers?
Okay then. Let's take a look at his chambers.
Men! His Majesty has been abducted!
All of you! Go and save him!
Yes!
Eunuch Cao!
Cordon off the whole city.
Lock up all the gates.
Find him. You must get His Majesty back!
Eunuch Cao since this person dares break in alone and abduct His Majesty,
I fear he has made an intricate plan.
Us locking up all the gates might be useless,
instead we might cause him to do something drastic.
Then what do we do now?
Men! Bring those two up!
What are you doing? Didn't you say we would be rewarded?
- Move! - You agreed that you'd reward us!
Why are you tying us up? You don't keep your words.
You two, are you Ma Da Dao's men?
Where did he bring His Majesty?
If you want to live, speak!
Fine I'll say it.
Big Bro has a lot of places that he can go to.
There is one nearby,
I'll bring you there.
You guys lead the way.
- Gather all the palace guards to go save His Majesty! - Yes.
You two, hurry and lead the way!
- Move! - Move!
Oh no, it seems like we came late.
Then let's hurry and save HIs Majesty.
Wait no, now we should go save Ma Da Dao.
Let's go.
Hey. Why are you still pretending?
I know you're awake.
Wake up. Stop pretending.
Ma Da Dao, when Eunuch Cao did that to you before, I really didn't know about it.
Afterwards, I also punished him.
How about this? I can reconfer you as commanding general.
If you feel that it's not enough, I still can add some more titles.
Add what shit?
Why don't you also confer your royal title to me?
Add it then.
Since I was little, I was homeless and miserable, poverty-stricken.
You were just in the Palace living an extravagant life everyday.
Now you are telling me that you giving me a position.
We two are equal then, is that it?
Are we?
Fine, Ma Da Dao. It was you who saved me.
You want to take it back now, is that it?
I will accept it then.
Come. Just come.
I have always wanted to kill you to seek revenge for my parents.
But now that I'm holding the sword and you are in front of me, I...
I...damn!
Ma Da Dao, Ma Da Dao! Listen to me!
The mistakes that the past Emperor did,
I am willing to pay for it on his behalf.
But I hope that you can give me some more time.
Although Ding Song looks as if he has already fallen,
his allies are still in the government.
My little sister is still in his hands.
The whereabouts of the Magic Stars are still unknown.
As long as you give me some more time, let me handle these matters well,
I will then change my name and go into seclusion.
I will do as I say.
Ma Da Dao, let me go and you'll get to have the world.
Do you think I care about your world that much?
- Ha? - So what is it that you want?
I want to vent my anger.
Hurry!
Your Majesty.
Hurry! Hurry!
Ma Da Dao is in big trouble right now.
There are so many of them and there are only two of us.
I'm afraid we are not their rival.
If we fight recklessly, it surely will not work.
We must think of another way.
Then what way is there?
Let's go.
Bring it on.
Your Majesty, I was late.
May Your Majesty forgive me.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Magic Stars Team @ Viki
Ma Da Dao, I gave you the country earlier yet you don't want it.
So courageous. How about now?
Stop talking about now.
Think about how you lowered yourself and begged for my pity earlier.
If I die now, it's really worth it.
Really?
Men, go and chop Ma Da Dao into pieces.
I agree.
I was even afraid that you won't chop me. Is this knife okay?
If you leave me alive, I will surely help spread publicity for you two.
Destroying your reputation.
Oh, my, you are even being so arrogant.
Men, bring Ma Da Dao back to the Palace.
Give him a death sentence by tearing his body limb from limb by 5 horses
Ma Da Dao, are you alright?
- Ma Da Dao, let's go. - We almost didn't get here in time. Let's go.
Let's go.
Where is he?
After him!
- After him! - Okay! Fast!
Your Majesty, I caused you to be in shock.
Hey.
How are you? Are you hurt?
I am fine. I almost killed that useless Emperor earlier.
It's all your fault.
After getting down from the mountain,
you didn't go to the outskirts, but instead went toward to the capital.
Right now, really great. All three of us have become trapped.
Qian Xun, you really can't say it that way.
Qian Yi Shou shouldn't be blamed for this.
Eunuch Cao sent palace guards to the city outskirts
to blanket search for me.
That's why, it is still safer inside the city.
Enter the capital.
- Ma Da Dao! - Ma Da Dao!
Ma Da Dao, what's wrong with you?
He's fine. He just fainted.
Really so sorry, buddy.
I initially planned to come up with a plan before going out the city.
How about this, Qian Xun? You take good care of him.
I'll go look for medicines.
Better for me to go instead.
I am a woman.
They won't give me too much attention.
You take good care of Ma Da Dao.
You be careful.
Your Majesty!
Please rise. Are there any news?
Your Majesty, I already sent additional palace guards to the city outskirts to look for those three rebels.
But since they left the mountain,
it's like they just evaporated without any traces at all.
Eunuch Cao, how come when you do things, you kept losing the main point.
One bandit Ma Da Dao plus a Huang Qian Xun and a Qian Yi Shou, so what?
They are not worthy enough to be mentioned.
These were not what I am worried about.
Then Your Majesty...
Look at how long has Bai Ze left for the island.
There are still no news from him.
Zhan Xiong Fei went to the Underground City to save Zi Su.
There are also no news from them.
And my greatest rival, Ding Song.
Which are more important, can't you determine?
About Zhan Xiong Fei, I do have some news.
Don't know if I should say it or not.
Say it!
It seems that Zhan Xiong Fei is related to the demon tribe.
What? Zhang Xiong Fei is related to the demons?
I still cannot completely confirm this news yet.
But this news surely didn't come from nothing.
Okay. You immediately go investigate it.
You must find hard evidence.
If there really is a demon person who has become a Heaven Strategy Envoy,
I cannot allow that at all.
Yes.
How come Zhan Xiong Fei is related to the demon tribe?
- Come back again. - Okay.
Owner...
- You still dared to come back? - Please give me some buns.
- Hey, owner! Owner! - You still dared to come back?!
- Owner...don't hit people... - Let's see if you still dared to come back.
I'll beat you to death.
Owner...
If I don't give you some lecture, you surely won't remember it.
Get lost!
You must feel aggrieved, don't you?
How did you know?
Why don't you go to the officials?
Officials?
For beggars like us who have no money or power,
will the officials care about us?
Then go out and take revenge.
Take revenge?
I...dare not.
I can help you.
What do you mean?
He has beaten you up into this state.
Even if you kill him, it won't be wrong.
Show me your courage.
Maybe we can go to Longqin together to look for treasures.
If we are successful, who else will dare to belittle you?
Why must I believe you?
You aren't some good person, either.
Of course, I am not a good person.
But I am not like you, willingly letting others insult you.
Think about it.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Magic Stars Team @ Viki
Stop! Stop right there!
- Stop right there! - Stop right there!
What are you doing?
I...went to...
Medicine? Who is sick in your house?
In my house...
Men, take her away!
Wait!
- What's going on? - Lord Bai Ze,
we are in pursuit of the assassin who tried to kill His Majesty.
The medicines that this lady bought is very suspicious.
I know this lady.
She surely isn't some assassin.
You all leave first.
Yes. Let's go.
Thirteenth Older Sis, Yuan Shuai and A Ji Ya are waiting for us over there.
Let's go there to talk privately.
I can't. Ma Da Dao is sick.
I must immediately send the medicines to him.
Sick?
What's going on here? That's right.
What's wrong with the world now?
It's getting more and more unsafe.
Could there be a monster causing trouble?
- Who was it? - Who knows?
- Now that the society is so disordered. - That's right.
For the past few days, there were already several murders that happened in the capital.
We cannot find any clue. They all become unsolved crimes.
Now we no longer can keep the news blackout.
Every citizen in the capital feels fearful.
Your Majesty, you think...
Okay. I know now.
Leave first. Let me think about it for now.
Okay.
Your Majesty, you must take care of your health.
Winter solstice is approaching. You may have another 9-winter disorder attack.
Should I call for the imperial physician?
No need. I still can take it.
Right now, there are numerous murders in the capital.
The end of the world is coming.
I am guessing... that all of these are just murders for wealth.
Those officials were not able to do their duty well and were afraid to be fired,
so they deliberately make the cases sound more complicated.
But none of the victim is rich, how will you explain that then?
I feel that this matter isn't that simple.
Behind it, there must be another reason.
Another reason?
Eunuch, do you think it can be Ding Song?
In my opinion, that's not very possible.
Now Traitor Ding has lost all his power.
It's unlikely for him to cause trouble again.
Could it be the demon tribe?
Didn't you say that Zhan Xiong Fei is related to the demon tribe?
This...it's still hard to conclude that.
We are finally back!
This aroma is so comfortable.
Is there any scent in the air?
How come I can't smell anything?
Of course, you can't smell it.
Because this is the scent of home.
Since you miss your home so much, let's hurry and enter the Palace.
His Majesty must have difficulty sleeping these past days.
Looking forward for your early return.
Look! Is there something fun over there?! Let's go take a look!
Jeez, slower, slower!
Wait for me!
- Hurry! Hurry! Let's go take a look. - Oh, my, dead people again.
Living in fear everyday.
- Is the government doing anything about this or not? - That's right.
Is there anyone doing anything about this?
Everyone, don't rush.
We are already investigating this matter.
We will soon find the murderer soon.
When will you find the criminal?
Older Bro, what's going on?
Recently, there are murders everyday.
There are already 7 to 8 people dead.
It's serious.
What has happened in the capital while we were not around?
I don't know, either.
Let's just go into the Palace and ask around.
With murders like this happening, they must be investigating it too.
Even Ma Da Dao is of royal blood now.
Say, could I be a reincarnation of Lao Tzu?
Not only is he of royal blood, if that thing didn't happen that time,
he... would be the current Emperor.
Let him drink this.
This matter really is so shocking.
If Zi Su discovers that she suddenly now have a big cousin,
what reaction will she have?
Zi Su most likely will be unable to accept it that quickly.
Palace grudges, families killing each other.
His older brother has made an image of himself as being brilliant and courageous.
She surely will not say such a thing.
Hey, when that matter happened, His Majesty was also just a child.
We cannot blame him for this.
He is currently not a child anymore.
- Look how he is treating Ma Da Dao. - Enough already.
Let's not talk about this for now.
Let's talk about Ma Da Dao's illness.
This illness is a hereditary illness among the royal descendants.
Every year, when it's nearing winter, it will attack.
It's hard to cure.
The prescription you got for him was also passed on from the Palace.
But it lacks two precious ingredients and the effect was greatly diminished.
Thirteenth Older Sis, let Ma Da Dao drink two more bowls.
Okay.
Bai Ze, are you saying that during the winter solstice,
all royal descendants will have this kind of symptom as Ma Da Dao's?
Yes and no.
Look at Zi Su. She is fine.
It could be related to her fiddling with herbs at young.
She must be immune to any poison already.
Oh, right, Thirteenth Older Sis, you all cannot keep staying here, right?
We must think of a way to leave here.
Qian Xun and I have already talked about that.
It's just that with Ma Da Dao's current situation, I reckon that he will be unable to endure it.
Hey, we just so happen to be going into the Palace too.
We can just look for His Majesty and ask him to pardon your crimes.
After all, you all did save him before.
Ma Da Dao didn't lead to any huge trouble, either.
I feel that he won't be that heartless.
What if His Majesty do not agree?
This...
Then let's use force.
He must agree regardless if he wants to or not.
Hey, we can't do that.
I agree with Yuan Shuai.
If he doesn't agree, let's use force.
Hm
Fine. But... there must be a limit.
We must not hurt His Majesty.
Don't worry. We all have a sense of propriety.
As long as he is willing to cooperate, everything can be settled amicably.
Okay.
Qian Yi Shou, then you guys just wait here for our good news.
Let's go then.
In the end, the Underground City collapsed. The Magic Stars and Ding Song all got buried under it.
We were able to escape because of the movable palace that the previous City Leader left behind.
Older bro, the situation then was really dangerous. The ceiling collapsed and the ground sank.
Although Zhan Xiong Fei wasn't able to get the Magic Stars for you, but he was able to save me.
This can be considered as a great achievement, right?
Older bro, Zhan Xiong Fei has already said a lot.
Yet you are not saying anything. You should at least give a reaction, right?
Zi Su, it's good that you are back.
As for the other things, let's just talk about it next time.
I am a bit tired already. I'm going back to my chambers to rest.
Older bro, you are not allowed to leave!
Your Majesty, me saving Zi Su can't really be counted as some achievement.
What I want to tell Your Majesty is about another matter.
When Zi Su and I just entered the capital, we discovered corpses everywhere.
Don't know if Your Majesty knows about this.
Of course I know about this matter.
Then in your opinion, who is the mastermind behind these killings?
We just randomly passed by. We never really investigated it clearly. If Your Majesty will allow me--
No need.
There is someone assigned to investigate these cases. You can leave now.
Hey, older bro! Older bro! You better clarify things before you leave!
If you treat Zhan Xiong Fei like this, who else will be willing to work for you next time?!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, Bai Ze, Lord Bai, is back!
Older Brother Bai Ze is back!
Hurry and let them in!
- Older Bro Fei! - Yuan Shuai!
Xiong Fei!
Older Brother Bai Ze!
Zi Su!
Long time no see, Older Bro Fei!
Yuan Shuai, you have gotten thinner.
Older Bro Fei, that time, you just suddenly disappeared.
We were all so worried about you.
It was Babe Ya. It told me that Zi Su is in danger.
It then sent me back to the capital.
And then, I immediately set out to save Zi Su.
In the end, It was threatening but not dangerous. I was able to save Zi Su.
It was Ding Song again, right?
Yes. It was Ding Song and Ma Shun who brought Zi Su to the Underground City.
You all don't need to panic.
Good thing there is Zhan Xiong Fei. Am I doing well now?
If we have known earlier, we should have let you come with us.
- That's right. - Zi Su, you don't know
that when you were not around, we really missed you a lot.
Without you traveling with us, it was so boring.
Do you just know that now?
Next time, no matter what happens, you must not leave me behind.
Or else, I really will get angry.
Okay.
Get angry then. Get angry.
Looks like you two have reconciled.
That's something to celebrate about.
That's great, the five of us are finally together again.
That's right.
Respectfully greeting Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, after seeing Zi Su and Xiong Fei, I was a bit too excited. Hope Your Majesty can forgive me.
Okay. Rise.
Thank you, Your Majesty!
I heard from Zi Su earlier that they saw the five Magic Stars in the Underground City.
I'm guessing that you were not able to get anything from your island journey.
We didn't really come back empty handed.
It's just that we were not able to get the Magic Stars that you wanted.
A Ji Ya.
From where did this wild girl come from? Daring to talk to His Majesty like that.
And also, why didn't you kneel when you saw His Majesty?
I kneel towards the Heaven and Earth, to my parents,
as for other people, they are all not worthy for me kneeling.
How dare you! You are so unruly!
It's a...
Informing Your Majesty, she is called A Ji Ya.
She is a good friend that we befriended in our journey.
It was always due to her that we were able to get out of dangerous situations.
She grew up in the meadows. She doesn't understand the cultures here.
Hope Your Majesty can forgive her.
A Ji Ya? Really a woman who can be comparable to the men.
One shouldn't ask where a hero comes from.
As long as you are willing to serve the government, I will welcome anyone.
Okay. You all just returned.
You must be tired from your travel.
Go back now and have a good rest.
Later tonight, I will set up a party to welcome all of you.
Thank you, Your Majesty!
Your Majesty.
What? Do you still need something?
I still have one thing to request.
When we were passing by the capital,
we saw wanted posters of Ma Da Dao, Huang Qian Xun,
and Qian Yi Shou all over the capital.
That time, Ma Da Dao doesn't understand the situation and just kidnapped you.
Qian Yi Shou and Huang Qian Xun
were also just being loyal to their friend so they helped Ma Da Dao.
They really didn't mean to hurt you.
That's why, I hope that Your Majesty can pardon their crimes.
What?!
Thirteenth Older Sis and others are being pursued, aren't they?
You...
Then it means that you have seen the three of them, right?
Where are they now?
Bai Ze!
If Your Majesty won't pardon them, I won't say where they are now, either.
Fine.
Listening to what you've said, Ma Da Dao just had a moment of confusion,
Huang Qian Xun and Qian Yi Shou are loyal and righteous friends,
then I am a cold and ruthless person, right?
I didn't mean it that way.
Enough already. As for this matter, I have my plans.
You shouldn't worry about it anymore.
Older bro! Why must you arrest Thirteenth Older Sis?!
Your Lady Highness Princess, don't interfere with this matter anymore.
If not because Your Majesty is blessed,
he would have already been killed by Ma Da Dao.
Even if the three of them previously saved me,
but this time, the crime they committed is punishable by the death of their whole clan.
I deciding to just arrest the three of them is already being benevolent..
Thirteen Older Sis doesn't have any family. I am her family!
Your Majesty, if you want to kill her clan, kill her family,
then just kill me now!
Right! Count me in!
If you are going to kill their clans, then aren't you part of it?
Enough!
My patience towards you all has limits.
This is also what I want to say to you!
Protect the Emperor!
- Eunuch Cao! - Older bro!
- Don't be reckless! - All of you, don't move!
A Ji Ya, let my older bro go!
Zi Su.
Hurry and write.
What do you want me to write?
Pardon order.
Hurry and write it.
I already have the pardon order!
- Can you now let my older bro go? - Thirteenth Older Sis is safe now.
[Pardon Order]
Aren't you still going to let me go?
A Ji Ya, you can now let His Majesty go.
With such a good opportunity, how can I just let him go?
You went back on your words!
What do you mean by that?
Hey, this is not part of what we agreed.
A Ji Ya, are you crazy?!
Calm down a little!
Older bro...
I am not crazy. I am very sane.
I'm telling you all to retreat! Or else, don't blame my blade for being blind.
A Ji Ya, when did I offend you?
In the past, the whole family of King Salin in the meadows,
got massacred by the Heaven Strategy Envoys just because you were not able to get the Magic Star.
Don't you know about this matter?
You... you are...
That's right. I am King Salin's daughter.
The Heaven Strategy Envoys were just following royal decree. They have no choice.
But I can only ask for the payment of this debt from you!
A Ji Ya, when you previously reconciled with us and entered the Palace together with us, was this your real motive?
I don't want to answer such senseless question.
If only killing can quell your anger,
then just kill me.
If you kill His Majesty, the world will plunge into chaos.
Is this what you want to see?!
Just keep your life.
What I want is his life!
Older bro...
A Ji Ya, don't force me!
Bai Ze, what are you doing?!
Just shoot! Kill me!
Today, only one of us can live!
A Ji Ya, I beg you.
If you want to kill anyone, just kill me. Don't kill my older bro.
Zi Su!
Enough! You all are great now?!
Have you forgotten our life and death friendship?!
Don't you care about family and friends now?!
A Ji Ya, have you really got blinded by hatred?
If you dare hurt His Majesty, then we all will never forgive you!
Just let go, A Ji Ya!
A Ji Ya!
Qian Meng, you are here.
Respectfully greeting Your Majesty.
All of you, get out.
Yes.
Hurry and rise.
Your Majesty, I already examined A Ji Ya.
Her symptom does seem to be like the hereditary royal illness, 9-winter disorder.
I already prescribed her the Palace medicine.
It most likely will take effect soon.
Could only the royal blood line have this kind of disease?
From the medical annals, that is indeed the case.
Can't there be any mistakes?
Of course, we can't make one judgment for all, either.
But the chance of mistake is very little.
We almost can say that it's next to nothing.
Your Majesty, since this A Ji Ya is King Salin's daughter,
then she having royal blood is expected.
But she has also inherited the 9-winter disorder.
Unless she comes from the same bloodline
as Your Majesty.
Don't say it anymore!
Remember. I only have one younger sister and that is Zi Su.
I am not allowing anyone to doubt this including you.
Stop all your inferences.
Just keep it to yourself. Understand?
I understand.
And also, what's the update about the matter I instructed you regarding Zhan Xiong Fei?
I followed Your Majesty's orders
and jokingly checked Zhan Xiong Fei's pulses.
What's the result?
His pulse is very weird.
There actually are two types of pulses.
I never encountered such pulse before.
His physique indeed is different from other people.
Two type of pulses?
Even the demons can't be like that.
Your Majesty, for a long time,
this Zhan Xiong Fei has been with Lord Bai Ze and the others looking for the magic stars for Your Majesty.
Even if he doesn't have any achievement, he still worked hard for you.
One doesn't use people who you don't trust and one must not doubt people you use.
If Zhan Xiong Fei really has any intentions to disobey,
Princess Zi Su and Lord Bai Ze would have noticed it beforehand.
Isn't the revolt of the Heaven Strategy Envoys something that everyone didn't expect but it still happened?
I am the emperor. I must take responsibility for the society. I cannot have the heart of a woman.
Understand?
Okay. Go now.
I want to be alone.
Looks like the affair of Royal Father and Queen Salin's can't be hidden anymore.
Hey, don't wait anymore.
Those kids think that just by begging, they will be able to let them spare us.
Don't be too naive. Do you even believe this kind of stuff?
One day has already passed.
No matter if His Majesty agreed or not, they should at least have a response.
I have a very bad feeling right now.
I am actually not worried about Bai Ze and Yuan Shuai.
The two of them know how to act properly.
What I am worried about is A Ji Ya.
When she mentioned about getting into the Palace, I sensed a very strong killing desire.
Killing desire?
Didn't they say that they will just scare His Majesty?
As an assassin for so many years, I can sense such things.
She definitely wasn't as simple as she say.
Hey.
Then why didn't you stop them yesterday?
I remember that my Teacher once told me that there are things that you cannot stop no matter what you do.
You can change fortune but not destiny.
What will happen will eventually happen.
I can't understand your deep principles.
Just tell me directly. What should we do?
How about this? Since you're almost full recovered,
it's more convenient for us to travel.
If by tomorrow there are still no news, let us then leave the city by nighttime.
Okay. By that time, let's just leave them a note so they can see it when they return.
She's awake.
Bai Ze! A Ji Ya is awake!
Zi Su...
A Ji Ya, how do you feel?
Do you feel better?
What is this place?
This... this is my chambers.
After taking in Qian Meng's medicine yesterday, you slept for a whole night.
But His Majesty has already forgiven you.
Now, you two are even.
But promise me that you won't do such stupid things again next time.
We all were very worried about you.
I won't do such a thing again.
Yesterday, I fainted during the critical moment.
Maybe that was arranged by the Heaven.
Maybe it's not yet his time to die.
A Ji Ya! A Ji Ya! Don't be bothered by Zi Su making a poker face there.
Actually, she locked herself up with His Majesty the whole night yesterday
just to beg His Majesty to forgive you.
Or else, why will His Majesty forgive you that easily?
Zi Su, thank you.
Sorry.
It's good that you are fine.
That... then A Ji Ya, do you still treat us as friends?
Of course. We are forever friends.
Oh, right. Did Older Sis Qian Meng say what illness A JI Ya has?
She didn't say it very clearly.
She just said that because A Ji Ya was too agitated, it caused her heart to be very stressed.
She just needs to rest more.
Hey, A Ji Ya, don't you have good martial arts skills? Then your health should have been very good.
Have you had such an illness before?
It's my first time.
As long as it is not a chronic illness, then it's good.
Where is Zhan Xiong Fei?
Where did he go?
Your Lady Highness Princess.
Eunuch Cao, what is it?
Lord Bai, His Majesty is asking for you.
I also want to go.
Your Lady Highness Princess, His Majesty only called for Lord Bai.
Zi Su, come.
I'll be back quickly.
- I'm fine. - Drink the medicine.
Drink your medicine.
Stop.
Lord, we have arrived.
[Ding Residence]
Lord, please.
Lord, on our way back here, I kept thinking... with the capital being this big,
how are we going to find the Illusion of the Heart?
In the whole capital, the most ancient place should be the Emperor's tomb that already has a long history.
Legend says... that Deity Luan Jia got buried in there after being tricked by humans in the capital.
That's why, our main target, is that Royal Tomb.
Raiding a tomb?
Then will the Emperor agree to it?
Nonsense! Who will be willing for others to dig into one's own family tomb?
No. No. What I mean is the Royal Tomb has always been strictly guarded.
Just based on the two of us, I am afraid that we won't be able to get in.
Do you have news about Ikeda?
Lord, usual rules. Money first.
Give it to him.
Lord, we have only this gold bar left.
What news do you have? Hurry and say it.
Stop biting already. It's real!
Don't wait anymore. Ikeda won't be able to return anymore.
What do you mean by that?
I only know that much.
I'm going now.
Hey...
I am guessing that this will be the last time we are working together.
You two must be careful here in the capital.
Take care.
Bastard, what do you mean by that?!
Lord, this...
A phoenix who has fallen from grace is really inferior to a chicken.
- Respectfully greeting Your Majesty. - No need for formalities.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Bai Ze, I asked for only you today because I want to ask you something.
You must answer me honestly.
Your Majesty, please ask.
You and Zhan Xiong Fei have been together for quite some time and were together day and night.
Do you find him different from other people?
Xiong Fei and I took care of each other during our travel.
We really have a good relationship.
Every time there is trouble, he would always charge in front.
This maybe is his difference from other people.
Bai Ze, you clearly know that I am not asking about that.
You are avoiding my question.
Okay. Then I will be direct.
I heard that Zhan Xiong Fei is related to the demon tribe.
Is this true?
I understand now.
You don't need to answer me, either.
Your reaction already told me the answer.
But...
I don't want to hear buts.
Why did you hide such a huge thing from me?!
Replying to Your Majesty, I think that Xiong Fei is related to the demon tribe.
But that is just a bit of heart's demon, not enough to affect his heart from walking towards righteousness.
He is a qualified Heaven Strategy Envoy.
Bai Ze, you should know about the revolt of the Heaven Strategy Envoys in the past.
I don't want such tragedy to recur.
A Heaven Strategy Envoy whose background is already not pure shouldn't stay in the team.
He is not like what you think.
My decision is final.
Older bro!
Older bro, why did you lock up Zhan Xiong Fei?
Zi Su, I will give you an explanation about this next time.
I don't want you to give me any explanation!
I want you to let him go right away!
Right. Immediately let him go!
Zi Su, I had spoiled you too much and had always done what you want
that you have no regard of the law and morality now, is that it?!
This time, it's not my fault!
You were the one who is being too unreasonable!
I still haven't pursued you all for lying to me.
So what if I am being unreasonable now?!
- Eunuch Cao! - Here.
Spread my verbal decree.
Starting today, remove the Zhan Xiong Fei's Heaven Strategy Envoy title.
Within three days, he must leave the capital.
He is not allowed to return to the capital forever.
You are being too much!
Hey, wait...
You are saying that you are removing from Zhan Xiong Fei that invaluable status of being a Heaven Strategy Envoy, is that it?
So sorry. I don't want it anymore, either!
