[Episode 3]
Thank you for your help earlier.
May I ask from whom you learned your combat ability?
Combat ability is naturally learned in combat.
Judging by your age, there's no way you could have possibly killed more than we have.
To a soldier stationed on the border, the biggest reward is killing bandits.
We call this cutting firewood.
Boxwood bow? Three horse-cutter swords?
He's must be that . . .
Shubi Woodcutter!
Those I chop down are all useless firewood that make trouble on the borders of my Tang Nation.
You're all friends. Might you have one?
Come here.
I'm asking if you have any wine.
Here.
There's wine to drink.
It's wine from the Golden Horde, famed wine.
We have to drink some.
-Don't you want to drink together? -No, no.
-Take it.
Yes, Young Master.
Thank you for saving me earlier.
Where's your mom?
Looking at him is just like seeing myself.
Although you saved my son, Xiao Man, I still can't stand you.
That's just great.
This person is really unlikeable.
What?
What did you say?
I said, if Princess really did like me, then that would be troublesome.
When did you find out who I really was?
At first sight.
-Then I'm really a loser. -You said it yourself.
When we get to the capital, come alone with me.
I can give you a good future.
Thank you for your good intentions, Your Highness.
I'm going to the capital because I want to participate in the admissions selection to the Academy.
It's likely that I won't ever see you again.
You saved my life.
- My father, the King, will promise you a summons. - In truth, the person I most want to see is Fu Zi.
The head of the Academy.
That year, my father also wanted to be Fu Zi's disciple.
However, Du Zi later handpicked him to be the Tang Emperor and his dreams were broken just like that.
Why do so many people want to enter the Academy and be Fu Zi's disciple?
My mother, the previous Empress Cui Shi, came from Qinghe county.
She passed away 15 years ago.
Before her death, she told me to take good care of my little brother.
To teach him to become like Father and be a good Emperor.
One day, Father married a woman surnamed Xia and made her Empress.
Have you heard of the Eternal Night?
That's just a legend.
Yes.
It's just a legend.
Yet it can destroy a person's life.
Your Majesty, I examined the skies and received the divine decree of Heaven.
The curtain of night covers the stars. The nation will become restless.
A female will cause trouble and destroy the Tang Nation.
This female is the princess.
Nonsense! My Tang Nation is stable as a rock.
What unrest?
Guards, take this delusional herald and publicly execute him.
Your Majesty, please have mercy!
Mercy! Your Highness!
You will regret it!
This is an omen of the Eternal Night, Your Majesty!
You'll regret it!
Whoever dares to tell lies will be punished with him.
While I was with the Golden Horde, the thing I couldn't let go of the most was my little brother, Hun Yuan.
A few days ago, he wrote a letter to me, saying he was going to come to the grasslands to find me.
I think he must need me a lot.
I only have one little brother.
Your Highness, the good will be protected by heaven.
Your mother is in heaven, protecting you two.
The Tang Emperor is also protecting you.
My mother loved to call me Yu Er.
From now on, you can also call me that or Li Yu is also fine.
The fisherman caught fish and he is contented.
The woodcutter gathered firewood and he is happy.
Does Your Highness' name originate from this poem?
Yes.
Those were the expectations my parents had for me.
For me to take good care of my little brother so Mother wouldn't have to worry.
For a person to live on isn't easy.
It isn't easy.
I heard from General Ma that you and him always lived at Mount Min, surviving by hunting.
Why didn't you go to the authorities?
The compensation for orphans and widows from my Tang Nation has always been good.
Sometimes interacting with wild animals is easier.
Am I very dull?
Knowing your own weakness is a good thing.
Let me tell you a story.
There once was a little bird who was very ugly and it didn't have any pretty feathers.
But it had one good point. It was very diligent.
It would take each and every fruit that fell off the tree and hide them in a cave.
It looks like I'm very dull, too.

Your Highness, Imperial Guards Colonel, Hua Shanyue has come to your aid late. I deserve death. Please forgive me. [Imperial Guards Colonel, Hua Shanyue]
Your Highness, please forgive us!
Hua Shan Yue
It's me, Your Highness.
I haven't seen you for two years. How have you been?
To be able to see you again is really nice.
You may all rise.
Thank you, Princess.
Insolence!
You held onto me the whole night while you slept.
You even snored.
My legs are so sore.
I shall overlook this due to your contributions to protecting me.
Hua Shan Yue, where's the carriage my father sent?
It's at the bottom of the mountain.
Please, your Highness.
Wait a minute.
Your Highness, since the first time I saw you at Wei City,
there's something I've wanted to say to you.
Say it after we get to the capital.
Okay. Let's go to the capital.
[Tang State]
Commander of Guards Xu ZongShan
-General Xia Hou, it's been a while since we've met. -Commander Xu.
Take him.
Hurry.
Everyone, you may leave us.
Greeting, Your Majesty.
Do you know that she's my only daughter?
You sent out Mind Master and Sword Master and even involved the Demon Sect.
Tell me, just what are you planning against me?
All that I've done is for the good of Your Majesty.
All nonsense!
Your Majesty, my life belongs to you.
And the lives of everyone in my family also belongs to you.
If anyone dares to harm Your Majesty or anyone that Your Majesty treasures,
Xia Hou will spare no effort to eliminate that person!
Absolute nonsense! The Princess is also someone that I treasure.
After the late Empress passed away, Yu-er married off to the plains.
When her husband died,
those barbarians from the plains wanted to bury her with her husband.
She had to risk her life to escape back to Tang State.
Yet you secretly tried to have her killed.
Tell me, do you deserve to die?
Do you deserve to die?!
-Should you die?! -Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, please stop.
Your Majesty, I beg you please, on my behalf, let Xia Hou go.
Are you aware of what Xia Hou did at the North Mountains?
I just heard about it. If I knew it beforehand, none of it would have happened.
In that case, there's no need to plead on his behalf further.
Your Majesty! Xia Tian guarantees you that Xia Hou is loyal to you.
What happened at the North Mountains must have been a manipulation by the people of Xiling.
Just like how Wei Guangming manipulated him to kill General Lin's whole family all those years ago.
Your Majesty, although Xia Tian did not give birth to the Princess,
but Xia Tian loves Your Majesty deeply and hence I love whoever Your Majesty loves.
Regardless of where the Princess is, at the plains or at Tang State,
Xia Tian will treat her as my own child. And Hunyuan too.
Xia Tian assures you, if anyone dares to harm them again, that person will be Xia Tian's mortal enemy!
Your Majesty. Your Majesty.
Please believe me. All that I've done was for your sake.
Do you know that the people from Xiling told me that if Princess returned to Tang State, the world will turn into chaos.
Wei Guangming, that old geezer, has been imprisoned in the Serene Pavilion for more than 10 years.
Yet he won't give it a rest.
Who else is involved in this matter?
Your Majesty, all those involved in this matter are already dead.
If Princess is unable to return safely to Tang State,
then you'll die here.
Your Majesty. Your Majesty!
Quickly get up.
Get up quickly.
You shouldn't have done that.
Promise me that you won't risk your life again because of me.
Promise me!
Okay, okay. I promise you. Please get up.
If you are able to get out of here today and go to Tuyang City, don't ever come back here again.
I have no idea how His Majesty intends to deal with me.
Ok, let's not say anymore. You, you should hurry back.
You don't have to worry about me. Hurry up and leave here.
Brother
The Heavenly God Luminance? You are?
Wei Guangming from Xiling.
So it was you, the Grand Priest of Light.
You're an envoy of the Heavenly God. What important matter could you have in my barracks?
Please leave quickly.
I came here specially for you.
May I ask if General Xia considers it to be an important matter?
For me?
Twenty years ago, the Demon Sect barbarians were driven to the extreme North region by the Xiling Allied Forces.
There was a young man and a young woman who escaped from the Xiling Allied Forces.
They concealed their Demon Sect aura
Maybe they have forgotten their past identities.
But they did not think of this.
If leading a vagrant life was the start of their destiny, the devastation of their souls will be their ending.
This is their fate given by the Heavenly God.
The Grand Priest of Light sure knows how to make up a story.
Xia Hou, how long more can you conceal yourself?
In the Heavenly God's world, the Demon Sect is enemies with everyone else.
If anyone finds out that you and your close kin whom you hid in the Tang Palace are remnants of the Demon Sect...
Eliminate the Child of Hades and Xiling will keep your dark secret hidden.
Since the first time I saw you at Wei City, there's something I've wanted to say to you.
Young Master, if Princess really asks you what you were going to say, what do you plan on saying?
Since I saw you the first time in Wei City,
I fell deeply in love with you.
Your Highness and Iwill be inseparable.
Young Master, you're being bad.
That's how one should speak with losers.
They like to hear that and they will believe it.
Young Master, do you sometimes feel that you're really full of nonsense?
Sang Sang is really smart.
Young Master, in your heart, are all people in the world losers?
Even me?
You're not a loser.
You're a lump of coal.
I knew Young Master doesn't like that I'm dark.
The Princess commands that we camp here for the night.
Camp again.
Ning Que, Great Master Lu Qing wants to see you.
Great Master Lu Qing wants to see me.
Young Master, hurry up and go.
So you are Ning Que?
Yes.
You must know why I called you here.
Why?
Come.
Let me take a look if you have the ability to cultivate.
There is a breath between the Heaven and earth.
That breath is what is known as vital energy.
The vital energy is kept within the Qihai Xueshan.
The one who practices it will be able to perceive the presence of the vital energy of Heaven and earth.
There is no fluctuation of vital energy in your body at all.
It is totally empty between the Xueshan and Qihai.
Isn't psychokinesis emitted from the mind?
A saying like this is not considered wrong.
What is meant by perfecting oneself in virtue is to contain the vital energy within the Qihai Xueshan.
Furthermore, there are usually seventeen apertures within the Qihai Xueshan.
But the Xueshan Qihai in your body are blocked in eleven areas.
So . . .
So you will never ever become a cultivator.
Don't feel dejected.
There are hundreds of millions of people in the world.
To have someone like you is actually very normal.
I am not feeling dejected.
Many years ago, I wanted to be a disciple of this cultivator.
He also said the same thing.
Master, please take me in as your disciple.
Ning Que. Your Qihai Xueshan is totally blocked. Ultimately, there is no way for you to perfect yourself in virtue.
Master, please take me in. I beg you to teach me the ways of cultivation.
I'll be your workhorse for the rest of my life.
Young Master, I'm back.
The Princess has sent someone with wine for us.
She says the nights are getting cold. Drinking it will kept the cold out.
Princess also said that once we get to the capital, she'll invite us to her quarters.
We'll drink tea the the Princess's quarters.
I think the Princess is very pretty.
And she's a kind person.
Most importantly, Princess treats me well.
Actually, I don't think Princess is really that much of a loser.
The sky is getting dark.
I said that the sky is getting dark, but then no one would believe me .
Young Master, what's wrong?
-Are you sick? -I'm cold.
From since I was little, why do I always see these two people in my dreams?
A drunkard and a butcher.
And they kept repeating these two sentances.
The sky is getting dark.
Could it be that I am connected to them in some ways?
What is the significance of it all actually?
Why did I see them in my dream again?
Them?
Who are they?
I don't know.
All losers.
I'll get rid of them sooner or later.
You don't have to follow me anymore. I can go alone.
Timing and Subtitles Brought To You By The Ever Night Team @ Viki
You're still following me?
If we don't follow you, you may die.
Just like him.
Him. And him.
Speak. Where's the entrance to the Demon Sect?
I don't know.
It's your turn.
Brother, I'm scared!
You don't have to be afraid.
As long as you tell us the location of the entrance to the Demon Sect, then we'll let you go.
That secret, only the Elder knows.
I beg you, please spare us.
Brother!
- Hold it. - Brother!
Brother!
I said to let this kid go.
And I said he can't be spared.
You can try doing that.
Brother.
Come, it's okay. Don't be scared.
Brother! Brother!
Brother!
-Run! -Brother! -Hurry, run!
Great Master
I've memorised this book and know everything by heart.
But no matter how hard I studied, I am find it very difficult to understand how I can embark on this endeavor.
I humbly ask Master to be so kind as to advise me please.
Did I not make myself clear enough that you are unable to perfect yourself in virtue?
So, it s not helpful no matter what books you read.
I am unable to perfect myself in virtue, but at least I can understand it?
For example, how many realms are involved in the perfection of one's virtue?
What is the difference between every realm?
For the sake that you have persevered so long, there is no harm in me advising you.
Thank you, Great Master.
Keep the sword in mind.
He who is able to wield his sword to overcome his enemy is the master of the sword.
Sword Master
He who uses psychokinesis to kill someone without engaging him directly and is invisible in overcoming his enemy
is the master of psychokinesis.
The Master of Psychokinesis
The one who mixes the nascent energy into the ink is regarded as the master of signs.
Master of Signs
And for the grand masters of Signs and Dao who could control the forces of nature
people call them Divine Masters of Signs
Divine Masters of Signs
There are five realms in cultivation,
First realm is called Basic Level
The second realm is called Perception Level.
The third realm is called No Doubt Level.
.The fourth realm is called See-Through Level
The five realm is called Knowing Destiny Level.
The so called Knowing Destiney means knowing the celestial destiny
Knowing the Celestial destiny
Above Knowing Destiny Levek, there are many more abstruse realms.
Legend says, one is Tian Qi, meaning the enlightenment from the heaven
One is Wu Ju, meaning vanished distance
Great Master, if we conceal the nascent energy within a toilet, should it be called the Master of Toil or Master of Let?
These are all just sanctions made out of usage. There is a unspoken rule in the society of cultivation,
in the same level of realms, a master of psychokinesis holds more power than a sword master
Therefore, in order to defeat a master of psychokinesis, you have to interrupt his mediation.
Interrupt his mediation.
Great Master, I have one more thing to ask you.
I often dream and in my dream,
I can sense a mysterious breathe, warm, intergrate together drop by drop
How wide of a range you could sense in your dreams?
No, it should be, what is it like?
A pot of water, a creek?
Or a small pond?
It looks like
a big ocean.
At the beginning of one's cultivation process, his projection of his mind is just a pot of water.
Even if you are gifted, it would have been nothing more than a pond.
In the current world, even for the most powerful on in the youngest generation, Sword Master Liu Bai,
is just a grandly flowing river.
Does bed-wetting occur to you often?
It's clearly an ocean.
*bird chirpping
foot steps
*yaup
My king (elder brother), please calm down.
Who exactly is it daring to assassinate the royal official in the capital
An investigation has already started.
The officer killed was from the transportation department in the military
then investigate the military as well
Yes
However, the Department of Transportation is left acephalous
we have to assign an official as soon as possible.
Do you have any suggestions?
Censor Zhang Yi Qi is thoughtful, carrying out his profession with assiduity.
He is a good fit.
Zhang Yi Qi
Zhang Yi Qi has been in idle at the Department of Censor
The Royal Court does not keep idlers, but also can not burry those talented ones.
Alright. Let's transfer Zhang Yi Qi to the Department of Transportation
Thank you, Your Majesty.
[Ichthyosaur Gang]
Second Brother!
There was an official of Department of Transportation got assassinated last night.
Another Royal official.
There has been three cases of royal official assassination these days.
.I encountered the assassin last night
The assassin is highly skilled, but he doesn't use the common techniques from Tang nation
every move is fatal, every vicious.
Was any evidence left behind?
There are some left. I stabbed his left wrist.
-Continue to investigate. -Okay.
-Hey. -Huh? -The cup.
*foot steps
Zhang Yi Qi, what do you mean by this?
I recommend you to the Department of Transportation is for the sake of using your talent for our nation
not for these
His Royal Highness is sagacious, concerning the nation and the people
of course won't care about these material things.
I just want to show my gratitude.
My loyalty to his royal highness is genuine and clear
Cui Delu. Pour tea for Official Zhang.
Yes.
His Royal Highness, I've heard that Knight Hua has picked the princess up
and will arrive in the capital in the next few days.
This trip was threatening but not dangerous
Very good, very good.
Your Highness, upon the princess' arrival, she will definitely support her own brother the third prince to the throne,
but the scholar officials of the court, headed by Zeng Jing, prefer the child of the Empress, the sixth prince.
What do you think?
I think that those people are all short-sighted.
They only understand the patriarchal inheritance tradition,
but they've forgotten about, in our Tang nation, also has a tradition of inheriting from late older brothers
Bastard
The word by Official Zhang has the suspicion of insulting the Royal Family
