You've looked inside the package?
When I was opening presents, I wasn't careful and looked at it.
I didn't mean to.
If you've already looked at it, then it's fine.
I have to go to Xu manor anyways to cancel the engagement.
It's not important who proposes.
Why?
If I can't give her what she needs
Then it's better that I let her go.
Just because of that? Even though she's not good enough for you
And even though Qui Shan Jun might be famous
He can't just steal other people's bride.
What are you smiling about?
In this world...
Only you would think Xu YouRong is not good enough for me.
That... Isn't that true?
Shifu. Don't worry. As long as you like her
I won't let your wife be stolen.
I thought is was a nice day out.
But it was just you always at my side.
Sometimes a person can see illusions. I thought I was far from here.
But I kept walking, and I realized...
I've returned to my original spot.
Tell me about the little girl.
The fish she cooked.
What did it taste like?
The fish was burnt.
It was very very hard to eat.
Xu Rong'er
Farewell.
Did he find out something?
How embarrassing, little dragon. I'm late.
But I brought you the food you like.
I'm sorry little dragon.
It seems I can't fulfill my promise.
I'm dying soon.
Don't worry. Before I die
I'll try everything to rescue you from here.
But it seems my time is limited.
Then continue to live a good life.
It's not as though there's no way to save you.
You're right.
As long as there's hope then I shouldn't give up.
Yesterday I forced myself to lighten. The strength in my body is decreasing my lifespan.
If I hadn't cleanse my marrow
I might not have seen today's sunrise.
You're obviously sick, yet you're still messing around.
Cleansing the marrow is not that easy.
Others have tried hundreds of times in order to be successful.
But you do it once and think you're done.
Stop dreaming.
You're right.
I'm dreaming.
Aren't you also dreaming of escaping from here?
If I'm dreaming here
At least I can talk to you.
If you want to cleanse the marrow then cleanse the marrow.
Why talk so much?
Little dragon. If I really died -
Rubbish!
You can't die.
Chen ChangSheng
Chen ChangSheng. Are you okay?
Are you okay?
The start wasn't bad.
Alright.
The light didn't burn you up so it's fine.
Next time you'll do better.
Greetings Your Majesty.
Lishan academy wants to prepose for Qui Shan during the Ivy Banquet.
Did you know this?
The elder of Lishan academy wrote a letter to inform me.
What are your plans?
Qui Shan Jun is blessed with many talents.
There's caring between him and YouRong.
As a father...
Of course I want her in a good relationship.
I heard...
YouRong is already engaged.
Your Majesty.
That's a misunderstanding.
We won't accept it.
Not to mention, Chen ChangSheng wants to break the engagement.
Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about it.
Qui Shan is like YouRong.
I care for both like my own children.
I don't want them hurt in any way.
Yes.
That your family's business.
I'm only reminding you.
Don't force it, and hurt innocents.
Your good intentions might ruin things.
Rest at ease, Your Majesty.
I will handle things properly.
Chen ChangSheng
I won't let you walk out of the Ivy Banquet alive.
It seems this time...
I have to deal with things personally.
Sister Xu
Princess Luoluo. What do you need?
Oh no.
The place you live in is exactly like you. Full of energy.
I heard the people of Lishan academy want to prepose to you at the Ivy Banquet.
You came to find me because of that?
If you already have an engagement with my Shifu
If you don't mind, please break the engagement off first.
I don't want the Sacred City to be full of his enemies.
I know how to handle it.
I won't let anyone pick on Chen ChangSheng.
With me here, my Shifu doesn't need anyone else to protect him.
I just don't want people to hate him.
Although I can't promise you anything, don't worry.
I would never hurt Chen ChangSheng.
If anything happens, I will protect him.
What if the people of Lishan academy find out about the engagement?
Let me think on that. You should head home first.
No matter.
I won't let anyone bully my Shifu.
I also won't forgive whoever bullies him.
I placed my order for this merchandise three days ago.
Can you people talk reason?
Who's not reasoning?
The vendor accepted our payment a moment ago.
I don't care.
Sir, wrap up my items.
No. These items are ours.
You three young sirs.
I only run a small business.
If I don't ship my wares on time, I'll have to owe money.
What does that have to do with us?
If you have a problem, go find the boss.
What are you doing? Let go!
You guys from Lishan like to steal from others that much?
If we made the payment, then the wares are ours.
So what? If you have money you can bully others?
If you don't let go, we're going to attack.
Try me.
What do you have against our Lishan academy?
I have everything against you.
One day let's meet and talk it over.
Okay then.
May I ask your name?
Bai Luo Heng
Alright. I'll call on you another day.
Fine.
A person who doesn't keep their word will meet with karma!
Little one, are you alright? Don't cry. Get up.
Thank you, big brother.
Where are your parents?
Mother is home taking care of grandmother.
Father is out working.
Big brother, this candy is for you.
It's alright. I don't want it.
Eat it. Eat it.
Just a bite.
Sweet?
Sweet.
Of course it's sweet.
Broken ash, Calamity Powder, and snake's venom.
Inside contains seventeen different poisons.
How can it not be poisonous?
You... Who are you?
Someone who wants you dead.
These seventeen poisons combined together makes the ultimate poison.
There's no saving you. It will seep into your bones.
You're crafty, sir.
Using trickery and deception.
The young Prince cannot understand these concepts.
You're too generous, General.
My lord.
It seems he's no longer breathing.
My lord.
Do we need to have people follow him?
No need. This well is infinitely deep.
For someone who can't even cleanse their marrow, even falling down will kill them.
Am I suppose to worry he will crawl back up?
Hey. Hey!
Wake up! Wake up!
Wake up, wake up, wake up!
What am I doing here?
Why are you asking me? You fell down on your own.
I was walking down the street. Someone tricked me, and I fell unconscious.
I don't remember what happened next.
You're an idiot.
It's such a deep well.
It's strange that you're not dead.
Did you save me?
Of course.
Let me tell you, if it wasn't for this dragon saving you
You'd be dead over a thousand times.
If I knew you were so dumb, I wouldn't have gotten my hopes up that you could free me.
Thank you.
That's right.
I brought you a lot of great food.
Delicious, delicious, delicious!
That's right. Do you remember what you promised me?
Sorry.
Perhaps... I won't be able to fulfill that promise.
To free you.
I could have guessed.
You're so frail, you can't even save yourself.
I shouldn't let you rescue me.
You're right.
I'm frail.
And I'm dying soon.
Your lifespan is really short, but -
You're dying soon?
I haven't resolved the trouble with my meridian.
And I was poisoned. The poison has seeped into my bones.
There's nothing that can save me.
Your lifeblood is strange. The poison is already useless.
But...
Your breath is weak. You won't live long.
I can't believe medicine won't even work.
I'm almost dead. Shifu would probably laugh at me.
Are you expecting to wait at my place to die?
That's... a possibility.
I thought you were brave.
I can't believe you're someone who is attached to life and afraid of death.
Then you can go.
Take all your stuff with you.
I don't need someone frail to save me.
I also don't need a coward to pity me.
Come on!
Take it! Take it!
You're right.
I want to cleanse my marrow.
That's the Chen ChangSheng I know.
Let's clear up, and I'll help you.
You sit here.
Okay.
Chen ChangSheng.
Chen ChangSheng. You have to keep trying.
Chen ChangSheng.
Chen ChangSheng. You can't die.
If you betray me...
Even if I have to endure the unthinkable
I eat you.
My dragon blood is pretty useful.
Let me sleep for a bit.
Zusha!
You - You're awake?
Zusha. Thank you.
Useless.
So weak at cleansing marrow.
Let me tell you! You now have my dragon blood to protect you.
If you still aren't successful, then get dead!
If I don't die this time
Then next time will definitely be successful.
Come.
You hag!
You can't touch my things!
You wretch!
You want to use dragon scales to cut your shackles?
You can't imprison me.
Someday I'll escape!
Is that right?
Too bad I discovered your plan. You can't escape.
You hag!
Let me go!
A pity I spent nineteen years binding those scales together.
Chen ChangSheng.
You have to keep trying.
I sacrificed my chance to escape in exchange. You promised to free me.
You have to keep trying!
YouRong!
Your father wants to talk to you.
I also have something to say to you.
Please come in.
Saintess.
Father.
Why were you looking for me?
On these lonely mountains...
Do you need to return to the manor for a few days?
I'm use to it.
If I chose to follow the Taoist path
Then I must persist.
I regret.
Taking you to you to the palace for cultivation.
I only want you to be happy.
Get married and have children.
Not have to worry for the rest of your life.
It was your decision in the past.
But this time, it's my choice.
You don't need to have regrets.
I had no choice.
Speaking of marriage...
I won't accept Lishan academy's proprosal.
If they mention it, please decline.
Qui Shan Jun is a rare talent. You've known each other since you were children.
He's now also working with the Empress.
It's a providence that's hard to come by.
I have no interest in the love between men and women.
I only wish to finish my cultivation.
If...
You're stuck on an engagement of the past.
I can take care of everything.
The Empress also hopes for you and Qui Shan Jun to -
Father. You open your mouth and its "Empress". You close your mouth and it's "Qui Shan Jun".
Have you thought of my feelings?
It's getting late.
You should return.
Rong'er
Behind you is the medicine I found for mother.
Please tell her for me
Her daughter...
Misses her.
Rong'er.
This time
I'm afraid you don't have a choice.
Shifu! Let's go!
Where could he be on an important day like this?
The Mister isn't here?
The messenger is already here. If we don't go we'll be late.
No worries. We have Echo Grass.
Shifu. We're going on ahead.
When you return, come quickly to the Ivy Banquet.
Let's go.
Guojiao academy attends!
It's only you two?
Luoluo.
Guojiao academy is so large
Why are there only two students?
Isn't that an embarrassment?
Junior. It's been awhile.
You are...?
Don't you remember? We met once at the Tiandao academy.
Oh! I remember! I remember!
Long time no see.
What do you think? Why is he...?
I heard Guojiao academy opened after nineteen years.
I can't believe there's only two young students.
Tiandao has three thousand students.
Xaishin has five hundred people.
Guojiao only has two students.
That's equal to the smallest and weakest academy.
Junior is a talented person whose been abandoned.
Such a shame.
TianLiuHuan Emperor attends!
Rise.
The Ivy Banquet is a place of gather for young talents of our Zhou Empire.
This year, seeing all your faces here makes me happy.
In place of the Great Empress, I'd like to congratulate you.
Come. Let's all have a drink.
Shifu isn't here yet?
I don't know. Tang thirty-six isn't here either.
He isn't using the invisibility cloak is he?
I've overslept, and now I'm late.
I'm amaze even myself.
What are you doing?
I'm attending the Ivy Banquet. I'm arriving late.
Go ahead.
I heard...
Lishan academy this time
Wants to make a connection with the Xu household?
Yes.
The Ivy Banquet this year will witness the two side's engagement.
The betrothal is very important to the Great Empress.
To tell a tale...
Today we have another happy occasion.
Is there anyone from Lishan academy?
Guo Hanshi of the Lishan academy greets TianLiuHuan Majesty.
Rise.
In place of Lishan academy
I would like to give my greetings to Xu manor,
In hopes that Lishan's Qui Shan and your daughter, Xu YouRong, may be engaged.
Since when did the Ivy Banquet turned into a betrothal party?
How boring!
Your Majesty.
As big as the Ivy Banquet is, why won't you let the prince attend?
He's too belligerent.
He'll just cause trouble.
That's a pity.
I heard the banquet this year is monumental.
The students of Lishan academy have probably filled it to the rooftops.
I hope the flower can be placed upon the wool.
I did it!
Nothing to it.
With my dragon blood to help, how could you fail?
I can feel myself getting better.
A bright star has descended.
The first thing you'll feel getting better is your skin.
Afterwards, that light with transfer to the points at your feet.
It will cause your meridian to become stronger.
That's strange.
You just finished cleansing your marrow
Why are you so bright?
Really? That amazing?
It's my dragon's blood that's amazing.
Little dragon. You sacrificed so much for me.
I don't know how to thank you.
Just remember your promise to free me.
Of course.
What's wrong?
What are you looking at? I've been sitting all night. Get up and move around!
All night?
Oh no!
Tonight is the Ivy Banquet. I have to hurry back!
You just cleanse your marrow. Don't you need a few days to rest up?
I have to be at that banquet.
The engagement between Lishan academy and Xu manor is what everyone hopes for.
If you've proposed, then let's go ahead with the engagement.
Personally hand over gifts.
Make the vows.
After the rituals, this engagement will be complete.
You need to make three homages.
One to the heavens. One to your sovereign, and one to your teacher.
For you to obtain this engagement.
First to the venerable heavens.
Second to your ruler.
His Majesty grants his favor.
His gift will stand as testimony.
Why isn't the Mister here yet?
Third to the teacher!
Lishan's master told us to come here to help complete engagement.
The young miss of my manor will have to let Qui Shan Jun take care of her now.
Asking everyone a final time.
What to do? What to do?
TianLiuHuan Majesty. Today everyone here
Truly wishes happiness for both of you.
To have a happy engagement.
We cannot set aside the rules.
We have to ask a third time.
Does anyone object?
I object!
Your Highness!
If you have a ritual to ask the people
Then you have to accept when someone objects.
Princes Luoluo.
You cannot joke about this.
You just asked a moment ago, "Does anyone object to Qui Shan Jun and Xu YouRong."
I object.
Your Highness!
What do you object to?
Xu YouRong is already promised to another.
Of course she can't marry someone else.
You're talking nonsense!
You're not allowed to mar my senior's reputation!
Everything I say is true.
The person she's promised to is my Shifu, Chen ChanSheng.
They've been engaged for a long time.
Is this true? There's an engagement?
An engagement?
So what is this?
Qui Shan Jun. Long time no see.
Why do you keep clinging to me?
What now?
I plan to keep clinging to you for life.
Indecent.
I'm indecent?
Aren't you passionate towards that phoenix yourself?
And you're self proclaimed heaven's partners.
She only sees you as a foot rug.
Nan Ke
Don't force me to hurt you.
Come then.
If I die, I'll have to die by your hands.
Qui Shan Jun
Even if I become a ghost, I'll still cling to you.
Who gave you orders to make a joke of our Lishan academy?
A joke?
Who can give a Princess of the Beasts orders?
I've never heard YouRong had a fiancee.
What evidence do you have?
An engagement letter. How's that?
Even if you have an engagement letter, no one is going to believe you.
He's a person who can't even cleanse his marrow.
What right does he have to marry YouRong?
Whether Xu YouRong has the right to marry my Shifu, I've yet to ask.
You!
I believe!
This kid, he's a unique creature.
Whatever he does, I believe.
Not only about Xu YouRong, but if you tell me he's the son of the devil...
I believe.
What are you saying? Sit down!
Our Lishan academy has the world's respect.
Even the old emperor awarded our teacher of literature
He personally offered his brush to us.
The Great Empress has awarded us even more.
I can't believe today I have to face you tarnishing our reputation.
So what?
Your Lishan academy is large so you can bully others?
Let's not get emotional.
Let's take a look a the engagement letter in Princess Luoluo's hands.
Someone is marring our reputation. How could we let that pass?
Resolve the engagement first.
Afterwards, whoever wants to run, whoever wants to attack can do so.
I can assure you. No one here will stop you.
Princess Luoluo, you say you have an engagement letter as evidence.
Is it on you?
Right here.
Your Majesty.
Is the letter authentic?
This engagement letter is carefully crafted.
Xu's signet...
Is clearly visible.
It say's that only the male's side can break the engagement.
On it is also the elder Xu's signature.
This engagement letter...
Is authentic.
General Xu.
The sudden appearance of an engagement letter is definitely troublesome.
This is your family's business.
Let you decide.
I will not accept this joke of an engagement letter!
Hey!
Hey.
Hey. hey hey hey hey.
The laughable ones are you guys.
Two sides decide to engage -- Wait, that's incorrect. That's three sides.
With none of interested party present.
What nonsense are you discussing?
Also, the Ivy Banquet for young talents to gather and learn.
Are we still going to fight?
Lishan academy challenges Guojiao academy to battle.
Guojiao academy has re-opened. There must be some talent there.
Or else no one can accept it!
Today, you have to accept whatever challenges are made.
There's a limit for Guojiao academy since there's only two people.
Two people are enough.
Come then.
Then let's battle two people.
If Guojaio academy wins then the world will acknowledge your prowess.
Lishan student Qijian challenges Guojiao's student.
Guojiao studen't Bai Luo Heng
Accepts.
Your Highness.
Her Majesty has ordered that you can't enter any type of challenges.
If anything were to happen to you, we couldn't face King Bai.
Your Highness can change with another Guojiao student.
What now?
Is there no one in Guojiao?
There's me!
I wish to withdraw from Tiandao academy.
And join Guojiao academy.
Tang Thirty-six. You're crazy!
Do you have to do this?
Tiandao is the largest academy.
There's countless people who fight to get in but can't.
Are you done causing trouble? Your father gave you to me .
Do you think I can't discipline you?
I can't stand people who use large numbers to bully the small.
Besides, they're my friends.
Uncle Jang
I'll explain to father myself.
I have to joine Guojiao academy today!
Qijian.
Did you want to battle?
It's now Zhuang Huanyu of Tiandao academy
That wants to challenge Tang Thirty-six of Guojiao.
Come then.
Who's afraid of you?
I know
You want to get to the Ivy Banquet.
To propose to that rotten phoenix!
Stop dreaming!
Propose?
What's so great about that rotten phoenix?
Let me tell you.
You will soon be mine.
This round, Tiandao's Zhuang Huanyu wins.
