Wan Mei
Chang'an
I've found the cure to the plague
That's my blood
She's right
She used her blood to save me
She must be the reincarnation of the blood lotus
The saintess is reborn
The saintess is back to us
Wan Mei dissolves her blood into water
A few seriously-ill patients feels better immediately after drinking the blood-water. The news that the saintess is reborn spreads around the City
The saintess is running out of energy
After saving seven the most seriously-ill patients
I'll call it an end today so the saintess may get some rest
Thank your for your mercy
Later, I will use saintess's blood to produce pills for all the patients
Thank God
Ling City can survive this plague
Thank God for his mercy
Thank God that the blood lotus has reincarnated
Though we survive the plague, our sins haven't been forgiven yet
Shall we escort the saintess back to Blood Lotus Cult and support her to the hierarch
Then she can lead us all to go worship the Blood Lotus Pool and pray for blessing to Ling City
Welcome the saintess back to Blood Lotus Cult and take the leadership
The evil Ding Shan Group has been fooling people and grown with sins
Today we the Blood Lotus Cult will exterminate it in the name of people and justice
Hail Blood Lotus Cult
Long live Blood Lotus Cult
Yue Qingya, you along with the Blood Lotus Cult will be doomed
I was just looking for you
Did you hear that noise?
It is the sound of breaking down the gate of Ling City by its people
Is it the plague over?
It is said that a saintess descended to the Ling City and used her Blood to save them all
The people gathered around Wan Mei and help her put on the holy dress
Then they rushed into Blood Lotus Cult's place to support her to become the new hierarch of Blood Lotus Cult
It's good to have Blood Lotus Cult to save people
Why would Prince insist exterminating it?
It's Lan Ruo that intended to save the people, not Blood Lotus Cult
If you don't follow Prince's instructions
The Blood Lotus Cult will continue to do wrong things and get people killed
I'm doing this just to save lives and I don't need to help you finish your task
I was supposed to the role of saintess and you did it instead because you wanted to be the hero
Now what's done is done
You have to finish the job no matter what
Besides, Yue Qingya has committed a lot of crimes and treated people's lives like nothing, he deserves it
Saintess, please lead the people of Ling City to the Blood Pool
Hierarch Alan will be there soon
Is it the legendary blood lotus that has bloomed for a thousand of years?
Yes
Since the saintess is reborn
She's doomed to be the next leadership of Blood Lotus Cult
And hierarch Lan should therefore resign from the leadership
It's well-known that I'm just doing it for the time being when hierarch Yue, the real one, is away
I'm afraid I don't have any right to make the call
The plague is meant to give us a message that we have to worship at the Blood Pool so as to wash away our sins
And we should do it right now
Hierarch replacement means a lot and shouldn't be executed recklessly
We should have a further discussion after hierarch Yue is back
Please leave now
The blood lotus has fallen into the Blood Pool and the God must be angry
It must be the warning from God that the saintess cannot become the hierarch of Blood Lotus Cult
The blood lotus has fallen into the Blood Pool
May God forgive our sins
Get up
You all get up now
The blood lotus has fallen into the Blood Pool and the pool's color is getting darker
The debts have become heavier and no one is able to pay off
How could you join them in this chaos?
Tribute must be offered to make the blood lotus bloom again and bring peace to the city
As the guardian to Blood Lotus Cult, I have been raised to make sacrifice for it when it's necessary
I wish nothing but a chance to sacrifice my life in exchange for the peace
May hierarch Lan allow me to do so
May hierarch Lan allow her to do so
Hope hierarch Lan would host the divine service
Let's pray together
How could you do this to me?
Is it why you stay together with me?
Someone must come revenge for me
I won't leave even if you set me free
What are you up to?
I hate you for what you're doing
You know everything but you pretend not to
You think you're the greatest man in the world and we all owe you
Blood Lotus Cult owes it to Ding Shan Group indeed
You have known that I belong to Ding Shan Group but you haven't exposed my true identity
Besides, you've been keeping close to you
What do you want?
Don't move
It's not easy to stop bleeding for the wound hurt by bayonet
It's not the answer to my question
I thought you had the answer
Is it because that you love me?
Then you now have a choice to make
You can either tell everyone what happened twenty years ago and the Blood Pool story is just scam
Or let the chaos continue and watch me die out of it
No, I have another option
It's well-known that hierarch Lan is too kind to host the divine service
I, You Chan, would like to sacrifice myself for Blood Lotus Cult with no complaint
Hereby, I wish the saintess would host the divine service instead so as to bring peace to us again
May the saintess host the divine service and bring back the peace
I think the divine service may wait, though the blood lotus is broken
Saintess shouldn't hold it on any longer
Once the blood lotus falls, there must follow disaster
No one should ever break the tradition either
No one should ever break the tradition
What happened between Blood Lotus Cult and Ding Shan Group is settled more than twenty years ago
Why couldn't you just let it go?
Yue Qingya is the real hierarch of Blood Lotus Cult, not you
Why couldn't you just let it go?
I've sealed your acupuncture point and you would go free one hour later
I've poisoned you and you would be dead if you use your inner strength
Everyone has somebody to love when he or she is alive
What do you say?
I don't have anybody to love
So it doesn't matter to me whether the one is dead or not
Girl, I don't know what happened between you two
But I can say that you care him and you don't want to lose him
Just like I can't afford to lose You Chan and Blood Lotus Cult entrusted by my foster father
How can I help?
You're a smart girl and you know how to deal with it now
The blood lotus rises again
It's the response from God
Thank God
The saintess has a few words for you
I'm not the saintess but assigned to save you all by God
The blood lotus is reborn
The plague was only a punishment to your greedy and sins
Hope you learn to abandon your selfishness and serve God with great attention
We promise to serve God with great attention
May God bring peace to us
We're done here
You all can leave and have a rest
It's all over
Come on
I'll take you back
Who says so
I ensure that Blood Lotus Cult will pay its debt
Just go
Why didn't you kill me?
You should kill me now
I have run out of all my inner strength
Why?
Why don't you tell the truth to everybody or just watch me die?
You should have chosen either ethnics or love
Still, you try to keep both of them
It should be me to ask you why
Why are you still trying and pushing me when you fail to realize your plan?
I can say that I have no guilty over everything that I've done
It's Blood Lotus Cult that should be guilty but not you
It's the hierarch Yue that has disappeared for over ten years but not you
You're just a stepping stone on my way of revenge
I am the victim of the plague and the only one who knows the truth
I couldn't stand a chance to meet with hierarch Yue when you're still alive
Not to mention the chance to expose his scam
So I have to kill you
Do it
Still, could you promise me that you would let go of Blood Lotus Cult and its believers?
They are innocent
No way, unless I am dead
I won't forgive you
You would be dead with all those shames
I hate you
I know that I will kill you at the end
You know, the responsibility of revenging for Ding Shan Group has been weighting on my shoulders for over twenty years
Death is indeed a relief to me. I hate you
Why do you keep me so close to you even though you know I'm going to overthrow you?
Now I can neither manage to revenge nor love you whole-heartedly
It's my fault
I am so greedy that can't help wishing you to forgive Blood Lotus Cult and love me truly
Now I know I was wrong
It's not your fault
It is the Blood Lotus Cult that is wrong
How can you truly love me if the sins of Blood Lotus Cult cannot be forgiven?
Just like the blood lotus in the Blood Pool, how can it bloom again?
It's all wishful thinking. But don't worry, I won't leave you alone anyway
Even if it's in the face of death, I'm willing to keep you accompanied
Don't be silly
I don't need your accompany
This is the last thing that I can do for you
Why don't the damned die?
Why would it be you?
If there is an afterlife where we shall meet again
may I be the one that protect you all the time?
If the afterlife existed
I will still protect you and keep you safe
On the fifteenth day after Mei entered Ling City, the altar of Blood Lotus Cult was sealed
and the death of Lan Ruo and You Chan became an secret for good
Ling City was restored with joys and laughs as if nothing had ever happened
Master Mei
I'm grateful to you for saving me back at Blood Lotus Cult for the sake of master-servant's relation
Thank you
I didn't save you
And there's nothing between us anymore
When we get back to GUI Hua City, you may simply look for and serve another master
The Chief has assigned me to Liu Guang
That's good, then we have nothing more to say
Master Mei
May I have a word?
Do you really want to go back to Gui Hua City?
I don't think I have any other option
If you want, I can help you anytime
Don't trouble yourself
We will be go on our different paths from now on
If you really can't let her go, you can take her back
There are girls raised in Gui Hua City from very young age
I don't want her to be someone like me that cannot live her own life
Do you think that she is able to live her life in the small place that you bought against this chaotic world?
How naive you are
At the very least, she doesn't have to do anything against her conscience
What do you mean?
Just like you, you poisoned me, took my voice away and sent me to Ling City to spread the virus and kill so many innocence
Did you ever feel bad for doing so?
You...
I just followed the orders of Prince
Because I know he's concerned about the people and it must be right to do so
You don't have the big picture in mind so you couldn't understand it
You're thinking too much
I just want to say, if shrimp needs to go through all this to be able to be her own master
then I'd rather she didn't have to
The garrisons promised to open the door, but they asked to see the saintess
It's the saintess Open the gate and let them pass
Yes
Masters, we already ran out of water and food
Shall we go into town and buy some together or I go buy it myself?
It may cause unnecessary attention if we go buy it together
You may go alone and we will wait for you here
Yes
The food is coming
Sir, here you are
Mate, five loaves please
Take-away
No problem
Five silver coins please
Please use the change to bring us some good wine
OK
Separated as we are thousands of miles apart, it's our destiny to meet with each other here
May I have the pleasure to have your bill?
This inn may have closed shortly if it's open in the capital
Please enjoy yourselves
Thank you
This inn may last a few more days under this smart man's management
Sister Xie, I should leave now
Someone awaits for me
I know you're talking about master Mei
It won't take long to stay and have a drink with me
My time at Zhaixing Building is miserable
It took me great efforts to find you
and dozen days to travel here to see you
Couldn't you lend me a minute and listen to me?
What's it?
Evidence
It proves that you're the son of Princess Taiping
Prince's Supervisor
Here's your message
What happened?
Hierarch Lan Ruo is gone
Brother Tingyun, how are you?
Today, I'm in a desperate situation and with an joint efforts of my folks, I'm trying to do all I can to save my son, the descendant of Princess Taiping
Now I entrust my son to you, my elder brother
If he has the ambition, please lend him a hand
If he feels tired of it, please show respect to his choice
The above is my last words
You recognize that it's your dad's handwriting, don't you?
I thought my father was just a craftsman of firework
Do you still remember how the family Xie was murdered?
Of course I remember
Now look at my eyes and tell me, were the assassins highly skilled in martial arts?
Did the family Xie do all they can to keep you safe even at the cost of their own lives?
Be careful
Huan'er, stay here no matter what happens outside
You have to keep yourself safe and sound
I have sent a letter to a close relative and he will rise you for me
The imperial court has never stopped chasing and killing Li's descendants
Your father wasn't your biological father, but the servant to Princess Taiping
He took the responsibility of raising you by Princess's order
When my dad got his letter, he started looking for you and finally, he found you
To protect you, he hided your true identity and claimed you his adopted son
But someone leaked the secret and led to the massacre of the family Xie
Everyone has his own role in this world
You already rescued master Mei, and from now on, your life is no longer your own
So, I don't really have a choice?
Your Highness, I swear by the blood of my ancestors that I will be loyal to Your Highness
and I implore Your Highness to shoulder the responsibility of your royal family
Tell me if it's you that sent the assassin to kill Lan Ruo
I am a blind man and cannot even take good care of myself
How could I manage to kill him?
It's you
It's definitely you
There is no one else but you
Prince's Supervisor, if you really believe it, then it's useless for me to explain anything
However, you have to explain why I got my neck red when we meet with my Lord
Are you so sure that I won't kill you?
I have no idea
But I know you are very upset now
I thought you would never feel like this
Lan Ruo did nothing wrong
He was extremely clever, but didn't become arrogant
He treated people fairly even when it meant that he needed to suffer
Is it a question for me?
I guess his only mistake would be take you as his foster father
I dont know him and I'm just doing wild guess
Don't blame me for thinking it wrong
What's his name again?
Is it Lan Ruo?
Why would you name him like this?
What did it mean?
I wonder why you would name him like this
I won't regret for what I did
Why do you say so all of a sudden?
You must be talking to yourself
Do you mean you don't regret for treating the woman deeply loved you so badly
or naming your adopted son as Lan Ruo?
By the way, your adopted son was a good man, not like you
You...
It's a pity that the good man always lives short in this world
You know what you did
I will surly make you paid for it
It seems that you and I are doomed to fight against each other
Well, I, the blind prince, have nothing to do all day, and my Lord is still suspicious
From now on, with you and I fighting against each other openly and secretly
my Lord may take a break then
Don't push too hard
It seems that I'm not as kind as your adopted son
Rather, you and I have a lot in common
Is there a rebellion?
My Lord, please don't be mad
After Lan Ruo died
the seniors of Blood Lotus Cult have been busy gathering their own power with ambition to claim the leadership
Our priority is to have Supervisor Yue back and discuss how to deal with it
He's known to be the hierarch of Blood Lotus Cult after all
I think he's already back
Call him in
Yes, my Lord
Yue Qingya, the sinned man, bows before my Lord
Why sinned?
My Lord, I lost my vision on what's going in South Xin Jiang and got Lan Ruo killed
since I've been away from it for too long
So you're saying that it's my fault to keep you here so long
I didn't mean that
I was wondering if my Lord would allow me to go to South Xin Jiang and put down the riot
Blood Lotus Cult owns 30 thousand of believers
If there were a riot caused by Blood Lotus Cult
The other parties in the society must seize this chance and join the riot
It may overthrow both Blood Lotus Cult and, more importantly, my empire
Blood Lotus Cult works for the imperial court and doesn't belong to me alone
I've gathered an army of elites
And we're ready to go south to put down the riot once my Lord delievers the order
You're a smart man
I will be right there waiting for your victory
My Lord, time waits for no man
Considering the seriousness of the riot
I'll leave for South Xin Jiang immediately
Chief, Di Sha Wan Mei comes back to report the mission
