[Episode 27]
Look.
It's not healing at all.
It's even worse now.
We'll set out to Tian Qi City now.
You're worried that you can't protect me?
I'm worried that your wound is infected.
An alive and active Muyun Lu could end up as a corpse.
Hold on to this.
Once you get to Qing Yu Ridge's Long Yuan Chamber
and find that decoding book
you'll be able to decipher this map.
Then...
you'll be able to find the Sovereign Seal.
Should any mishap befall me during this period of time
you must find the seal.
I'll inform the official courier inn now.
All the Lion Fang Guards in the city are searching for you.
Even if I have to carry you off by force, I'll get you back to Tian Qi City.
I dare you!
Prince Lu!
You care about him.
- I don't. - If you do, you do.
You can't lie.
You can't even make up an excuse spontaneously.
I don't care about him at all.
I'm just concerned that there's no one to protect you
if you have him killed.
Your father was bedridden for so many years.
Now that he's finally recovered, don't you want to see him?
It's because this meet-up is so precious...
that I don't wish to return home like this.
Is it so important to find the Sovereign Seal?
You know about the Great Duan Empire's ancestral code?
I'm all ears.
Whoever it is in the Muyun family
the one who finds the Sovereign Seal will be anointed the crown prince.
Then he shall take the throne.
The royal court has made an announcement to all.
Muyun Sheng has been anointed the crown prince.
Because of that, I must find the Sovereign Seal all the more.
You want to vie with Muyun Sheng for the throne?
Yes.
Prince Lu.
I thought that you didn't care for the throne.
I didn't.
With my temperament, I had wanted a quiet life.
Whatever my father asks of me, I'll do it to perfection.
The world...
Others can vie for it.
Su Yu Ning.
That was until I met you.
You wanted the throne for yourself.
Why would you make someone else take the blame for it?
Listen.
It's not exactly such a good thing to have read too many history books.
It's because you'll be well aware that
without sufficient power, you can't have what you truly want.
If you give up your authority
you won't be able to protect your loved ones.
Since I now have someone I love...
From now on...
I will vie for her sake.
I don't need anyone to vie for the throne for my sake.
You're destined to become the empress.
My father...
He highly believes in prophecies.
He'll surely act according to the prophecies.
If the future emperor is Muyun Sheng...
Su Yu Ning...
You'll be bestowed to Muyun Sheng in marriage.
What can they do if I refuse to comply?
Should you defy the royal decree...
will your entire family be able to survive?
Han Jiang, get the horses ready.
We'll set out tomorrow morning.
No.
It isn't safe.
Since you no longer take the surname of Muru
you are but a mere soldier in the army.
I just gave you my orders.
It's not up for negotiation.
Fine, then.
I'll dress your wound first.
Han Jiang! What are you doing?
Don't worry.
He's all right.
He's only passed out temporarily.
Su Yu Ning.
Since I once saved your life, I have a favor to ask of you.
What is it? Do tell.
Look after this troublesome young master for me.
I'll look for the Lion Fang Guards outside the city
to carry him back to Tian Qi City.
You knocked him out just for that?
You have to accompany him all the way back to Tian Qi City
until his injuries are fully healed.
He will only be obedient with you by his side.
You truly think so?
Yes.
Fine.
Su Yu Ning.
As for Nanny Su...
I'm really sorry.
Wang Duo.
Kill this young lady.
You mustn't forget that you're a Tian Luo Assassin!
Don't hurt my young mistress!
Don't come over here!
Wang Duo, what are you doing?
Wang Duo...
Don't hurt my young mistress.
Wang Duo.
Muru Han Jiang!
It's like in the game of Go when you make the critical move!
Cut from the Tiger's Mouth!
My eye!
My young mistress...
She's just like my...
My daughter...
An assassin with emotions...
He's as good as useless.
Take Su Yu Ning away.
Su Yu Ning, we have to go.
You risked it all to defeat Long Jin Huan.
I'm grateful to you for rescuing us from Subterranean City.
But I saw you kill Nanny Su right before my eyes.
However hard I try to defend you in my own mind
whenever I close my eyes every night before bed...
all I see are your vicious eyes in that moment.
And the blood that was all over Nanny Su.
Her face filled with yearning...
Han Jiang...
That very sight...
I don't know how long it will take me to forget that.
Forget it all.
So long.
When you saw me, you said, "How are you?"
When you leave, you say, "So long."
Han Jiang.
You really are so polite.
Definitely.
Those who grew up in the streets...
We are all like this.
Apart from hurting others...
what else can you do?
Come and take a look!
What does that man look like?
General, the informant has quite a small face.
His features are delicate.
His eyes are relatively bigger and his hair is slightly long.
It's past his waist.
But he's very tall.
He's about...
About this height.
Father!
Father.
Prince Lu is injured.
But it's not life-threatening.
It's just that he's a bit displeased.
We should set out as soon as possible.
Have you found the informant?
Not yet.
We can ask Prince Lu slowly on the way.
Perhaps then, we might learn a thing or two about it.
All right.
Well done.
Father.
I...
I didn't do much at all.
Father...
What would you like me to do, Father?
I want you dead.
From the moment His Majesty learns that you're still alive
you're as good as a son of the Muru family.
Do all of Father's sons have to die?
Of course not.
They are ones who will keep the Great Duan Empire peaceful.
Then why--
Why would I be sure to bring shame to your surname?
You only just met me today.
How do you know that I'll definitely be a failure?
On the day you were born...
the astrologist in our manor foretold your destiny.
He actually said that you...
You'll become the next emperor of the Great Duan Empire.
His Majesty has always strongly believed in the Royal Divination Sect.
Be it true or not...
Once His Majesty learns of your prophecy
there will be no peace in the Great Duan Empire anymore.
Although it is the Muyun family on the throne of the Great Duan Empire
the military power is solely held by our family, the Murus.
This is a blood oath pledged by both families' ancestors.
The Muru family can advise the emperor and supervise all officials.
This is great authority and such an honor.
However, at the same time...
it also causes emperors to doubt us.
The Muru family...
We are already treading on thin ice.
If your prophecy to seize the throne is to be made known
the 300-year fragile relationship between our families
will then break and war will be brought forth.
How unfortunate it will be for the people of the Great Duan Empire.
So many will suffer, their blood shall run dry through the lands
and they will be rendered homeless without anyone to depend on.
As the master of the Muru family...
how could I have the people suffer because of the love for my son
and bring shame upon our family crest of the purple Qilin beast?
My birth...
It was a mistake?
Yes.
It was a mistake.
I understand.
Your flesh and blood...
Take it back.
From this day forth...
I owe you...
nothing!
Muru Han Jiang!
Never go down your destined path.
Don't betray the Great Duan Empire.
You and I are no longer related!
By all means, you can declare it to the world!
Since you're ashamed of me
in this lifetime...
we need not meet again.
Set out!
Where has Han Jiang gone?
I don't know.
He only asked that I look after you.
The he left.
After he left the room...
why didn't you wake me up right away?
You allowed me to fall into the hands of the Muru Cavalry.
Han Jiang said that only if you return to Tian Qi City
could you be safe.
"Han Jiang said"?
Since when do you obey his every word?
Su Yu Ning.
Be honest with me.
You...
You don't want me to get the Sovereign Seal?
Be honest with you?
These matters... I care not for them.
Is that so?
If I were Muyun Sheng...
I'd take over the world.
He was born naturally weird.
The people won't accept him easily.
That descendant of the Muru family who won't acknowledge his own surname...
Even if he really does rise in rebellion one day because of you
and then seize the throne
he'll at least seem to have done it for a righteous cause.
Apart from bringing shame to his honorable family
he won't be despised and scolded by the people.
However...
If it were me...
If I took the throne...
If Han Jiang vied for the throne against me
he'd then commit an utmost treacherous deed.
You can't bear to see that happen to him.
You actually understand it all?
I do.
I totally understand.
You hold a grudge against Han Jiang because of Nanny Su.
You're just using that as an excuse to keep Han Jiang away from you.
If he can forget you...
he then won't try to seize the throne because of you.
Am I right?
I can't have him forsake the surname of Muru forever.
He's never had a home.
He's too pitiful.
A girl who is even beautiful when she frowns...
She speaks of another man right in front of my face.
Su Yu Ning...
Do you know how many ladies in the world wish to marry me?
You...
You've truly insulted me.
Prince Lu.
How could I not want to win you over?
Su Yu Ning.
You can consider this carefully.
If you really have Han Jiang's best interests at heart
your best choice is to be with me.
Your Highness is only doing so to get back at him.
No.
I do it out of envy.
When I see you with Han Jiang...
I realize that there are people who truly love each other
not for the sake of riches, authority, or a prestigious surname.
It's just to like someone, plain and simple.
I...
I wish for that as well.
I hope that someday...
I can become... that man on your mind.
Prince Lu, veteran subject Muru Shuo wishes to say a few words.
Miss Su, please give us some privacy.
Don't bother.
Don't make her go to such trouble.
I'll come with you.
When I walk... it still looks bad.
But I can walk all the same.
I did study a bit too much.
However...
I'm not that much weaker than Muyun Han.
General Muru.
What would you like to talk to me about?
Your Highness, please hand over whatever it is you've found.
Why?
It's His Majesty's orders.
He already knows that Your Highness went to Qing Yu Ridge
in search of an extraordinary item.
It's actually not a secret anymore.
Who knew that however cautious I have been...
there would still be so many spying on me?
That is how the royal court is.
Your Highness should have known a long time ago.
Indeed.
Yes, I had come in search of the Sovereign Seal.
My father...
He really gave orders for me to hand it over to you?
I believe that Your Highness should know what His Majesty's intention is.
My father...
He's so reluctant to pass on his throne to me?
I don't understand.
Even if I have lost...
I should have lost to my eldest brother.
Why would I lose to Muyun Sheng?
Your Highness.
I'm just carrying out orders as decreed.
I won't dare to speculate His Majesty's intentions.
You're so clever.
You truly are a veteran official.
But don't you worry.
The Sovereign Seal...
I have yet to find it.
If that is so...
Your Highness, please get in the carriage.
We should rush back to Tian Qi City as soon as possible.
Your Highness...
You can reunite with His Majesty soon.
I can't talk you out of it anyway.
Fine.
I'll leave with you.
Isn't there someone else who was with Your Highness?
Who was that man?
Where did he go?
There's no such person.
The server at the inn remembered him very well.
He's just a servant.
The server said that man was carrying a very unusual, short sword.
Was it Muru Han Jiang?
Sir.
Didn't you say that we have to hurry?
We should get going.
Does he know where the seal is?
Your Highness.
Han Shan.
Father.
Be sure to escort Miss Su and His Highness safely back to Tian Qi City.
I'll be away for a few days.
Father, where are you going?
You need not probe.
Bring my horse here.
Yes.
Speak.
Why are you looking for werewolves?
To unite the eight clans of Han Prefecture.
To take down Tian Qi City.
To seize the throne of Novoland.
To become the king of the world.
Princess Jing.
Will you not reconsider it?
Your Highness, you set that Shuofeng He Ye free
out of a moment's compassion!
He will surely be a grave threat to the Great Duan Empire!
There's one thing I've learned.
My last Silver Wing Arrow should be kept to kill a king.
Not a slave.
If he really becomes a king one day
I will take him down with one shot.
Isn't that even better timing?
Then...
the last beacon of hope for the people of Han Prefecture...
will also be put out.
Shuofeng He Ye!
You said this pill is made from stones?
Yes.
Every spring, the eagles in the sky lead me somewhere.
There are transparent and bright-colored stones to dig up.
Cook them with water from Ying Sea for three days.
Grind them along with medicinal herbs.
Make them into pills.
These pills are the best for healing external injuries.
Throughout these years in the Helan Clan, the only time they let me out
was the season I got to make medication.
Tie Yuan is scared that as a shaman, you'll hurt him.
Honestly speaking, apart from spotting routes
I have yet to discover any powers of a shaman on me.
Someone keeps talking to me in my dreams.
But I can't see the person talking to me.
I can't understand what's being said either.
Granny sent me to find you because I can tell you
a huge secret of the eight clans of Han Prefecture.
The Demon Master has opened his eyes.
Han Prefecture shall turn into dark lands in his hands.
No longer will there be lush fields
running cattle and sheep, mothers' toasted barley bread
and children's smiling faces.
Only your songs of blessings can summon the sunshine for us.
You shall become the greatest shaman ever in the history of Han Prefecture!
Your mind conceals the secret to the downfall of the eight clans.
Only the Giant's Ax of the Iron Wielder can break your seal.
Yet, I still can't recall what it is.
I'm so grown up now.
People call me Sa Tan.
But I don't know anything at all.
I don't have a strong body.
I can't ride a horse well.
I can't hunt.
I don't have any friends or brothers.
As the people of Han Prefecture, I'm really useless.
I really am useless.
Do you still remember when we were young and my father went hunting?
Who did he usually take with him?
Did he bring the strongest men in our clan with him?
Did he bring the strongest warriors of our clan with him?
Some people wield great strength.
Some people are good at riding horses.
Some...
Some can imitate the sounds of different animals in the woods.
Everyone is unique.
Everyone has different abilities than others.
When will I know what I am capable of?
Shuofeng Su He...
You mustn't be impatient.
The people of Han Prefecture...
We're like the land of Han Prefecture.
God Pandar lets us exist in this world.
He has his reasons.
It's just like...
The stones of Han Prefecture...
They can be used by you to treat my injuries.
As long as you never stop moving forward
you will discover what you can do.
I'll follow your lead.
You made me feel full of energy.
The place I'm going this time is too dangerous.
I can't take you with me.
Head home on your own.
Go back to Granny.
Don't risk your life with us.
Go.
Must you go to the Black Forest?
I must.
It's very dangerous in there.
The legend has it that no one ever made it back from there.
I know.
It's just to find werewolves for Helan Tie Yuan to ride as war horses?
I'm seeking war horses for the entire Han Prefecture.
A good horse.
It will let the people of Han Prefecture find their true selves back.
And their dignity.
I'll go with you!
You can't come!
It's too dangerous in there.
You're still young.
You said that every person has his or her own usefulness.
I am Sa Tan.
I'm the shaman of the Shuofeng Clan.
When you unite the eight clans in the future
I'll become the Grand Sa Tan of Han Prefecture!
How can I offer blessings to our warriors if I don't go through any danger?
All right, I'll take you with me.
But you have to bear this in mind.
Whatever happens, your priority is to stay alive.
