[Ever Night]
[Episode 14]
Young Master. Think it's a trap?
Trap or not, I'll go.
Young Master, raining or not, take the umbrella.
~I come from General's Chang'an manor~
~I want to take your life~
~La, la, la. La, la, la. I want to take your life~
You're on time.
The water has to boil.
I don't understand.
What don't you understand?
I don't see why you, Zhang Yiqi and Chen Zixian did such a thing.
For power, money, fame.
Everyone had reasons and excuses.
What I don't understand is why you fled far away
yet still came back?
I'm curious by nature.
I wanted to figure it out.
Curiosity matters more than your life?
General Lin's house had 100 people.
Yan villagers on the border were innocent.
Did they all deserve to die?
Young man. You forgot one thing.
This world is Hao Tian's (God's).
If Hao Tian wants you dead, no way you'll live.
Actually, I've always felt God can't let good people die in vain.
You spoke rightly.
Apart from you, Zhang Yiqi, Chen Zixian and Xia Hou,
who else was involved in this?
Anyway, you'll die soon.
It won't hurt to tell you.
The judge of Lin Guangyuan's case back then was the emperor's brother.
Grand Prince.
Enough. Your curiosity should be satisfied.
So, take all that you know
and die!
He's a Mind Master!
How are you an Academy student?
Too weak.
Can't even cultivate.
Though my 14 Sword strikes didn't directly kill you,
those small wounds will bleed slowly.
After they bleed out, you'll die.
Until I kill you, I swear I can't die.
Because something's still unclear.
Tell me.
Other than Grand Prince...
who else is there?
You're so stubborn, I'll tell you.
This case needs proof.
These three letters are from King of Yan.
Seems the mastermind is from Xiling.
Finding the Grand Prince,
or telling the Emperor your story, will change nothing.
Because you shouldn't even be alive.
You're a cursed man.
I've said all I should.
Go on your journey (to death).
(Xiling Immortal Shrine)
So, your father will recall your brother from Tang, for you to enter the Academy.
Exactly.
Prince Long Qing. If you can be Fu Zi's disciple,
when you finish learning, you'll be Light's Grand Priest.
I'm chagrined to say Guangming might not wish that.
You only need the title from our Institute.
Leader will shut that old man up.
Long Qing.
In the whole realm of Zhiming, nobody is as good as you.
So, you have huge advantage in this exam.
Grasp this opportunity.
Then I must get in.
I will take you to Tang.
It's to wish you a good start.
Thanks, Deputy-Leader Cheng.
[Vermilion Bird Archway]
Young Master!
Vermilion Bird came back to life!
Hades' Son is getting stronger!
Hades' Son? Where is he?
- Grand Priest, I must go to Tang. - If you go, you'll die.
15 years ago, our Light Palace Hall languished.
You were held in prison.
Your followers in our Light Palace Hall are all dead.
Wei Guangming spread lies.
From now, you'll stay in prison.
Leader!
Son of Hades has died.
I'll accept the punishment and stay in prison.
Light stays.
Long live Heaven.
Light stays.
Long live Heaven.
Master.
On my Tang trip,
I'll find justice for our Hall.
Can you really take down Hades' Son.
(Lakeside Small House)
- Hold it well. - Okay.
Sir.
Good tea. [Magistrate Shangguan Yangyu]
I've lived in the city for years.
I didn't know of this quiet place.
Seems I got complacent.
Speak.
The deceased
was a former army Copy Clerk Appraiser.
Army Copy Clerk Appraiser.
Another former official.
The capital's safety has deteriorated.
If his Majesty asks, how should I explain?
Tie Ying, you've been a policeman for 20 years.
How do you see it?
I'm incompetent.
I looked for his trail
but the killer has fled.
There's no clue in this house.
But, in a side alley of Vermilion Bird Avenue, I found an item.
It's Lanxiu cloth.
In this city, only Academy students would wear this.
Is the killer an Academy student?
I wouldn't dare accuse the Academy just from this robe.
But please look at this.
This person was in East City smithy.
He visited the smith who killed himself.
You mean Chen Zixian's death isn't a suicide?
The one who annoyed Vermilion was you
or that Big Black Umbrella.
Senior Brother.
Senior Bro, Vermilion Bird awoke!
So it's awake.
Why look so troubled?
This morning, tea expert Yan Suqing was killed.
He was an ex-official from Xiling.
Vermillion is awake, Yan Suqing was killed.
Suqing stabbed the killer's coat as it's bloodied.
But the killer left no trace of blood behind.
Random fury awoke Vermilion.
Nature's qi is its fire.
That would burn everything.
Maybe, the killer burned to ashes.
Your explanation is irrelevant.
Vermilion won't wake even if we both use power.
Even if it woke, it won't open its eyes.
This world has few people who can make it awake and angry.
The Saint left this holy object. Its moving has a reason.
You and I can't know the reason.
Senior Brother.
Junior Bro, do you ever scry the world for your own interest.
To defend Heaven's justice is our duty.
Scrying the world will make you pay with your life.
I would do that to find the person behind this.
How interesting-
this youth with no cultivation ability.
Why do you have so many secrets even I can't understand?
Because of the promise I made, I can't save you.
Or I'd like to see what you become when you revive.
The Academy...
I'll get you leave
and pray to Heaven you can survive.
If you can't make it this time, don't blame me.
If you want, blame your appearing too early.
I'll never let him just kill people under my eyes.
Senior Brother.
Please help. I must know.
What's the variable in this situation?
This is the variable.
He's dying.
~the heart is burning~
Has the Academy have a student more hardworking than that guy?
~don't fear to look at the future~
~peach trees bloom~
~outside in the light~
Chen Pipi.
Ning Que?
You're heavily injured. How are you not dead yet.
Not dead yet...not that I won't.
Yet you're idly chatting.
With such injuries, die by yourself.
You should die far away.
Not saving one in need...
you still call yourself a genius.
What's a genius to do with a loser?
Beat it.
Go as far away as you can.
~Spring passes and comes again~
~I've called a sea of clouds~
My...life...depends on you.
Hey, Ning Que.
Hey...
No last word?
You just left?
You took advantage of my kindness.
You made it impossible for me to save you?
So you knew from early on.
You jut put yourself in my hands?
That's mean.
Genius will seal your acupoints so you can live longer.
Let me think. How do I save your damn life.
[Tang Academy]
Young Master...!
Young Master! Where are you?
Don't be noisy here.
Young Master! What's wrong? Open your eyes.
It's Sang Sang.
Now isn't time for sentiment. Save him first.
- I'll find a doctor. - Come back.
Even if you got a Royal Doctor, you can't save him.
Young Master...!
Don't cry, he's not dead yet.
He's not dead yet?
Move.
His wounds are fine.
They're just a Cultivator's sword stabs. No problem.
It's just, there's a chilling energy in his chest.
It's affecting his spirit? No.
It's a stream of scorching energy.
- Is it chilling or scorching? - Stop! I'll look again.
It should be that a stream of scorching energy entered his body,
melting and destroying his Qihai Xueshan.
Not right. Qihai Xueshan melted.
He should be dead.
- Young Master! - Don't cry. He's not dead.
Not dead.
It seems a stream of chilly energy had entered his body.
While Qihai Xueshan melted, a new Qihai Xueshan was created.
What Cultivation level is this technique?
I fear even legendary Divine Luminance is nothing to this.
Exactly which fellow messed with your body?
Just what are you saying?
Are you able to save Young Master?
I...there's nothing a genius can't do.
Then hurry and do something!
How about I get medicine?
Medicine? Only one medicine in the world can save your Young Master.
What is it?
Only Unknowable Land mystical herbs fed by nascent qi can work.
To save this fellow, there's no other way.
No matter what mystical herb, if it can save him, I'll buy it.
We have money. I beg you.
I beg you to save Young Master.
I beg you.
Come and help me.
What's that?
Heaven Channeling Pill.
Truthfully, I'm no genius.
It's just, my dad once made me eat a Heaven Channeling Pill.
This item is rare; its production is complex.
Only three exist. I ate one.
When I left, I wanted a life guarantee and secretly took this Pill.
I only have one Heaven Channeling Pill.
I've kept it for so long.
I'll just give it to him?
Does such a small pill work?
It's Heaven Channeling Pill.
It won't let you access Heaven
but it can extend a normal person's life.
or advance a Cultivator's levels.
Or a Peach Mountain guy
might willingly return to Xiling.
Or Big River king might swap 30,000 maidens for it.
Just give it to him?
To give or not to give.
He swallowed it.
He swallowed it! He swallowed my Heaven Channeling Pill!
Senior Brother, something changed.
He's alive up till now.
You finally woke.
Young Master.
Sang Sang.
You saved me.
My Heaven Channeling Pill saved you.
If a doctor had treated you, he'd have put you in a coffin.
However, to this genius, it's just a wave of my hands.
How'd you find me?
Where's the Umbrella?
Don't worry.
Umbrella's here, person's here.
[Ever Night]
~Hey, I can only say sorry~
~You, who've forgotten time, look a bit lost~
~You seem far away, in front of me~
~Time blinks by~
~Take it easy~
~Life is still the same~
~Hey, let me change the ending~
~Yet I can cover it up only a short while~
~Don't obsess or say sorry~
~Loser just treats winner~
~Better not meet rather than cry on parting~
~Night is long and dark~
~Don't leave regrets~
~I've seen right, wrong, gratitude, grudges, words, acts~
~I risk danger, desperate for you~
~Umbrella in old Chang'an~
~Night is nearing, talismans burn~
~Fight till all is gone in chaos and darkness~
~See us blaze through darkness, changing Heaven and Earth~
~Spur the horse forward~
~Geese fly south before snow~
~Get drunk at a warm coast~
~Under slashes of the sword, we love each other still~
