The Magic Stone is active every twenty-four years.
That means every twenty-four years, we have to choose a child.
We need to wait for him to grow up.
He had to sacrifice himself at the age of twenty-four.
It's every protector's destiny.
But who wants their children to take on that fate?
Fire Phoenix is still sleeping.
We can't wake it up.
Impossible.
Xuanji Sect said that the child chosen by Fire Phoenix this time will be the last protector.
Because he has the ability to destroy the Magic Stone.
Are we being cheated?
Maybe the Fire Phoenix is tired of the sacrificial way.
It does not want to see us sacrificing the lives of innocent people in exchange for short-term peace.
Impossible.
There must be something wrong.
It's been eight years since the previous protector left us.
How can Fire Phoenix ignore our safety and sleep for eight years?
Fire Phoenix is crying.
Yingqi,what are you doing here?
Go back.
No, I heard the sound of the Fire Phoenix.
What did you say?
Fire Feng is calling me.
Fire Phoenix is awake.
Yingqi.
The protector showed up.
He's the last protector of us.
He will end the Magic Stone.
He will end all the sufferings of us.
Your Highness,our protector.
All of this came so suddenly.
Even though your father and I don't want you to be a protector.
But what can we change?
Your father is the chieftain.
The people respected him.
He has no other choice.
Meijiao, you don't have to worry.
Can I not worry?
Yingqi is still so young.
My poor child.
Believe me.
I'll find a way to destroy the Magic Stone and save Yingqi's life.
We have 16 years to find the method.
I'm sure we can find...
Feng.
Yingqi.
What's wrong with you,Yingqi?
The protector's power awakens.
Is today the day to pacify the Magic Stone?
Impossible.
This is not the active period of the Magic Stone.
Yingqi is still so young.
Feng.
Yingqi.
Be careful. Don't go there.
Feng.
The Fire Phoenix really wants to take Yingqi to appease the Magic stone.
Don't worry.
I'll bring him back safely.
Feng.
Yingqi.
Feng. Yingqi.
Yingqi.
Yingqi. Stop.
Leave here.
My son, you must live.
Your father didn't lie to me.
He did bring you back safely.
But he never came back.
As the patriarch of the Huoli Sect, he should not have prevented you from accomplishing the protector's mission.
But you were just eight years old.
As a father, he can't watch you die.
Even if he betrayed his people and sacrificed his life.
That is also the helplessness of being a father.
I hope you don't blame your father.
Why would I blame him?
If it wasn't dad, how could I live to this day?
I can only blame myself now.
Why can't I restore protector’s power?
Mom.
Do you think it's really the Fire Phoenix who chose the wrong person?
Impossible.
Fire Phoenix is an ancient fairy beast. It can't be wrong.
Your father and I were wrong.
Xuanji Sect said you would be the last protector.
You will destroy the Magic Stone.
But we made you incapacitated.
This has brought disaster to the people.
Yingqi.
Mother knows your feelings for Shushan Sect.
And I know a teacher's order is hard to disobey, but...
Mother, don't speak.
I get it.
Once upon a time I thought I knew.
I expected everything would change after you grew up.
Your father wanted to keep both love and righteousness.
He used his life to stabilize the Magic Stone for a while.
But even so, he didn't stop the tragedy.
The universe seems to be without mercy.
Maybe it's doomed that any choice we make is wrong.
In that case, why not follow your heart and face your destiny?
Mom, don't blame yourself.
This is my destiny.
I'm not running away.
Now that Xuanji Sect has predicted that I was the last protector.
Then I believe I can destroy the Magic Stone and end the tragedy of the tribe.
Even if I don't have the power of the protector now.
But if there is 1/10000 chances, I'd try my best for the people.
After I return to Shushan Sect this time, I will find a chance to destroy the Magic Stone as soon as possible.
Yingqi,I know you are strong and brave.
Do you remember the day I stopped you when you told me you were going to Shushan Sect?
Because it's mom's own selfish motive.
It’s a wife's commitment to her husband.
Now I really can't be selfish anymore.
Go.
You should accomplish what you're supposed to do.
Mom, I'm not filial.
I may not have a chance to serve you again.
I hope you can help me keep my secret from Yingnan.
There are things she shouldn't take on.
Dad,mom,Yingnan.
Don't be sad for me.
That's fate. So let me face it.
Yingnan.
Thank you for saving my lonely stomach and filling my empty heart.
Under what circumstances would Yu Yingnan doesn’t want to eat?
When she was full.
No.
Her stomach is as vast as the sea.
She has never been full.
Answer again.
Because of Bai Guyi.
You stole my fried chicken and even dared to laugh at me.
All spit it out.
We are very righteous.
We'll help you.
Yingnan,you can tell us about your troubles.
We can give you some ideas.
Actually, I saw Bai and Qi together yesterday.
I don't know why I feel a little sick.
It's called Chicu.
The scientific name is jealousy.
Am I really jealous?
Actually, I always thought Bai was nice to me.
But now it looks like he's good for everyone.
There's nothing special for me.
You can ask him face to face.
Right.
Ask him face to face, tell him your love to him.
So many people like him.
I'm not outstanding.
I told him then I would just be rejected by him.
How could that be, Yingnan?
You're actually nice.
Right.
Really?
You...
Michen,tell her her merits.
What are my merits?
You have a good appetite.
Yu Yingnan,I can bet that you have the best appetite among all girls who like Bai Guyi.
No.
No. -And.
No. -He said you cook well.
Right.
If you want to attract a man's heart, you must first attract his stomach.
So what?
Bai is different from you.
He’s not gluttonous.
Wait,Yingnan,where's your shameless courage?
As the saying goes, men chase women across mountains, women pursue men across interlayer yarn.
We will help you.
Right,Yu Yingnan.
Take out your ambition of robbing the Jin Ling Die.
Fried chicken should be eaten while it is hot.
If you like a person, tell him quickly.
If you didn’t do it, the person you like will be snatched away.
At that time, you can only look at the person you like fall in love with others.
Telling him is not hard.
I'll tell him that I love him tonight.
Bai.
Where are you going?
I...
I go back to CangxuSect.
You can go back any time.
But the moon is so pleasant tonight.
Don't miss it.
But I don't see anything special about the moon tonight.
It's not even very clear.
Although today's moon is like this.
But there's a special person waiting for you in the bamboo forest under the moon.
Yeah, special person.
Special person?
Yes. I can’t tell you who he is.
It’s a surprise for you.
Yes.
Look.
The Ziwei Star will show you the way.
Yingnan, we can only help you like this.
Let's go to bamboo forest.
Look at what?
We promised Yingnan.
If she finds out that we are going to peep her, she will kill us.
But... -Go back.
I want to... -Don’t peep her.
Don’t peep her.
Go back.
I told you not to peep her.
I want to. Let's go.
Let's go. Don't peep.
Just take a look. -Let's go.
I know it is you.
Bai.
Do you remember?
Because of the white rice ball, we met.
I lost the rabbit but I met you.
You saved my life.
You taught me the stars in the sky.
And you taught me to find a way out in the dark.
There were more and more stars in the sky that evening.
But no matter how they twinkled, I can only see you.
You're the brightest star in that dark forest.
And from that day on.
I can see you anywhere.
Even if not by your side.
I'd be very happy to see you.
I've been having the same dream all the time.
There was a great hero in my dream who stepped on the fire and took me out of my predicament
I think it must be you.
Bai.
I like you.
Will you keep watching the stars with me?
I was wrong. I repeat.
Bai.
Will you...
With me...
What the hell am I talking about?
I'm so disgraced.
Am I dreaming?
How could a dream be so real?
Yu Yingnan. That's good.
There will be no reason for me to stay by your side again.
Bai.
Since when did you like me?
That day we were having a training in the black wood.
You think I'm dead.
At that time you hugged me tightly, then I seemed to like you.
No, or earlier.
The first time we met.
You bandaged my wounds.
I think that's the time when I like you.
Yingnan,my master has always taught me not to let others know my feelings.
But you tell me not to hide my sadness and to enjoy my happiness.
I used to think I wouldn't open my heart to others all my life.
Because I don't think God would be so nice to me.
But after I met you, I realized that God had given me the best.
Bai,so long as I'm with you, I'll never let you live that hard again.
I will certainly understand you,tolerate you and help you
Actually, you already did.
Yingnan,you took the risk of going to Keji cliff for me.
You tried your best to stay in Shushan for me.
Actually, I know that.
Yingnan.
Actually, there's something I wanted to give you long ago.
These are stones tied to our red line on the day of Qiqiao Festival.
Bai,you still keep them.
Yes.
I’m afraid that you and I are not holding the same red line.
I'm glad you've been waiting for me.
Yingnan.
I'll be with you all the time.
I will accompany you to see the stars in the sky.
I will accompany you to do all the most boring things in the world.
I will always take care of you.
Bai.
I smell it again.
What do you smell?
The sweet smell of flowers and love.
I have arrived.
You go to bed early.
And you took an early break,too.
See you tomorrow.
Why aren't you leaving?
I want to watch you go into the room.
By the way, tomorrow the leader will reward me with the Jin Ling Die formally.
You're coming, right?
You want me to come?
Of course.
As long as you want, I'll be there.
Come with me.
You are a disobedient apprentice.
You are my disciple of Cangxu Sect.
But you don't listen to my teachings.
You only know your private feelings.
Today you have a good chance to get Jin Ling Die.
But you couldn't get it at the most critical moment.
With your qualifications and intelligence, why didn't the Jin Ling Die choose you?
I had tried my best.
As for Yu Yingnan.
She deserved the Jin Ling Die.
Why did you despise her so much?
You are a disobedient apprentice.
You and I have been teacher and disciple for more than 20 years.
You dare to disobey me for that girl. Well.
Then today, I'll show your younger brothers and sisters.
What is the result of defiance of your teacher?
You are a disobedient apprentice.
You are a disobedient apprentice. You are a disobedient apprentice.
Forgive him,please.
You are a disobedient apprentice. You are a disobedient apprentice.
Forgive him,please.
No mercy is allowed.
Anyone who intercede for him will be punished with him.
All of you have a look.
How can a person who does not listen to my instructions take charge of the future of Cangxu Sect?
You are a disobedient apprentice.
You are a disobedient apprentice. You are a disobedient apprentice.
Thank you, Qi.
You just got hurt. Let me help you.
Where's your broken jade ruler?
Thank you.
It’s my honor.
I mean that thanking you for interceding for me today at the hall.
I just don't want to owe you.
Besides, I didn't succeed to help you.
There's no way to pay back the favor.
We only can remember it in our hearts.
I'll remember your help.
Why didn't you admit your fault in the hall today?
Why did you let our master punish you?
If you were I, would you admit?
If I'm really wrong, I'll admit it anyway.
But if I was right, I wouldn't compromise easily.
Thank you. You understand me.
If I really understand you, why did I ask you?
I have been adopted by master since I was a child.
He dominates my destiny.
Success or failure is determined by him.
It's up to him to judge right and wrong.
Now I've been like that for a long time. I always feel that master gave me the honor and disgrace.
I never felt myself.
If Cangxu Sect don't welcome you, have you ever thought of leaving?
Always.
Then why don't you leave?
Is it because you can't give up someone here?
It's late in the night.
Let's go back.
Brother.
Brother. You're back.
Brother, did you see our mother when you went down the hill?
Is she okay?
Mom's fine. You don't have to worry.
Did you tell her I kept the Jin Ling Die?
I'm sorry. I forgot.
You did it on purpose, didn't you?
You're afraid that our mom praises me.
Yingnan.
You must take good care of our mother in the future.
I believe you can take good care of our mother even when I'm gone.
No.
I will take good care of our mother for my filial obedience.
Why would I should do it for you, lazy ass?
Yu Yingnan,you...
When will you grow up?
I really worry about your silly girl being cheated.
You lied to me the most.
Okay, well, do you like Bai Guyi?
Yes.
He said he liked me, too.
That’s good.
Bai Guyi is so promising.
He will be the leader of Cangxu Sect in the future.
Then you’re the wife of leader.
Then I'm the elder brother of the wife of leader.
This is really a big profit.
Why are you such a snob?
Do you have anything else? Just leave.
I’m kidding.
But if I'm really...
There is a bad news.
Bai has some troubles.
What happened?
I just got the news from Cangxu.
Bai was whipped by his master in public.
He was whipped in public.
I'll borrow your back.
His master whipped him like this.
He was badly injured.
Master,don’t whip me.
But it's not the worst.
The most frightening thing is that the whole back of Bai is full of new or old welts from here to here.
It is said that he was whipped up by his master as a child.
When his master is in a bad mood, he will whip him.
When his master is in a good mood, he will whip him,too.
Bai. -Yingnan.
Yingnan.
Why are you two scaring her?
Go.
Bai is pitiable this time.
Bai.
Bai. Are you all right?
Are you still in pain?
Let me wipe the medicine for you.
No.
Why not? You're so hurt.
I said no. Didn't you hear me?
What happened?
He’s a man. He doesn’t need you to wipe the medicine for him.
Let me help him.
And you all go back.
It's nothing to see.
Let’s go back.
Bai.
Yingnan.
You go back, too.
I can help him.
Let’s go back.
You want to ask about Bai's injuries, right?
His master punished him.
But it's all skin trauma. You don't have to worry too much.
Punishing him?
Because he didn't get Jin Ling Die?
It is only part of the reason.
The most important thing is that he contradict his master defiantly in public.
Even then, his master should not punish him so severely.
Bai is so nice.
It must be that his master is too excessive.
Yingnan.
If one day you find out that Bai is different from what you think.
Would you still like him?
Qi,what are you talking about?
Bai is really so nice.
If you really like someone, no matter what he do, you trust him unconditionally.
And support him.
Can you do that?
I believe in Bai.
He's not gonna change.
No one is always the same.
Qi,are you OK?
I'm all right. I just feel dizzy.
Why is your face so pale?
Let's sit down here.
Come on.
I'll get you a glass of water.
Act according to plan.
It's hot.
Wait a minute.
Come on. Drink it.
Yingnan,I'm not feeling well.
Ask for a leave for me tomorrow.
No problem.
Then I'll go to the kitchen to stew a soup for your health tomorrow.
Yingnan,you almost lost your life at Xuanji Sect last time.
If you're in danger again, you should hide.
Don’t rush to the front of people.
Qi,you're so nice to me.
Take off the clothes.
I thought you were just kidding.
I should perform a full set.
If your wounds are not healed, Yingnan must blame me.
I'll use my internal fire to help you burn the wound and stop the bleeding.
Bear it.
Come on.
I know men like to pretend to be strong.
But you was too bad to Yingnan just now.
Yingnan is actually very considerate.
As long as you tell her a little bit...
You like Yingnan, right?
