"Ashes of Love"
"Episode 40"
I keep feeling empty in my heart and...
I don't know what's the reason.
Father,
can you tell me what I should do?
You are now back to my side,
you can just make your choice boldly.
It doesn't matter if it's Fire Immortal or Night Immortal,
you'll always have my support,
as long as you are truly happy.
Thank you, father.
You're here.
Lin Xiu!
Luo Lin...
How did that happen?
Immortal!
Immortal...
What's wrong?
Fire...
Fire? What fire?
Father...
Father!
Jin Mi.
Father!
- Jin Mi. - Aunt Lin Xiu!
Father!
Father...
Father, what happened to you? Father...
Father!
Please speak, father!
Jin Mi, listen to me.
Aunt Lin Xiu!
What happened to them?
Father!
- Father! - Jin Mi.
Father!
Father... Father!
Aunt Lin Xiu!
Father...
Where are you all going?
Jin Mi.
Father, where are you all going?
Jin Mi!
I'm begging you, Phoenix! I beg you!
- I beg you to save them please. - I know... I know.
Father!
Jin Mi, listen to me!
- I beg you to save them please! - Jin Mi, listen to me!
- Father! - Jin Mi!
It's too late!
Jin Mi.
Jin Mi!
Jin Mi.
Jin Mi!
Mi Er.
Thank you, father.
It's too bitter! Good medicine is always bitter.
Here, have some rock sugar to get rid of the bitter taste.
Thank you, father.
Father...
Father!
Mi Er.
I just...
I just dreamt of father.
Mi Er,
if you feel like crying then just cry it out loud.
Two of the Immortals have been murdered.
You need to pull yourself together...
so that you could find out the truth behind it.
Jin Mi, no matter what happened,
I will be here for you.
Jin Mi is my fiancée,
there's no need to burden you with it.
You don't need to send help in the hour of distress.
Look at her now,
do you still want to fight over it now?
I beg all of you to go out.
- Jin Mi. - I beg you!
I beg you to go out!
Never wished to get into dispute, but things never go my way.
The flower in my heart has wilted, and I can never turn back time.
How I wish I could wash away...
Father.
If it wasn't for you...
passing half of your magical prowess...
into this ice blade.
If it wasn't for protecting me,
you wouldn't...
The flower in my heart wilts away,
and I can never turn back time.
Memories come and go,
but nothing hurts my heart of steel.
My only hope is a life with no regrets,
where I drift away with the flowers.
A bottle of wine,
a body covered in dirt.
Memories come back and forth...
Father,
Aunt Lin Xiu,
I'm sorry.
I will find out who is the murderer and...
take revenge for you two.
Water Immortal has passed away,
the sky and land are saddened by this.
Water Immortal was very kind,
he was compassionate for all the living things,
he used his magical prowess and helped countless lives.
I'll like to give him a title, Kindness Immortal.
Jin Mi is Water Immortal's only daughter,
according to law, she should mourn for her father for 3 years.
Therefore, the wedding arrangement with Night Immortal Run Yu...
will be postponed until the mourning period ends.
Also, Jin Mi will take over the Water Immortal's position,
it is effective today.
I accept.
Please rise.
Jin Mi,
please don't be too sad.
I promise you,
I will find the person who killed the Water Immortal.
Fire Immortal, you don't have to worry about it.
I will find out the culprit on behalf of Jin Mi.
My child,
you've suffered.
Chief Zhang,
I'm back to how I was before.
People said that,
shadow will not fade away with water,
when water flows to the east, shadow will stay there.
There's so much rain now...
but my father, Water Immortal is no longer here.
Father.
Greetings father.
Water Immortal always talked about kindness and morality.
I used to laugh at him, saying that he was as childish as a young child.
But I really admired him...
for being able to practice what he preached.
Only he would dare to tell me the truth.
But now he's no longer with us.
Are you here to investigate Water Immortal's case as well?
Yes.
You're taking responsibility of Jin Mi?
Jin Mi is my fiancée,
finding out the murderer of her father is my responsibility.
Pi Xiang Palace is handling this case,
in the files that they submitted,
they only mentioned that Water Immortal was killed by glass fire,
no other clues or proofs.
What do you think?
In all six realms,
there are only 2 people who have such high magical prowess...
and can control glass fire.
Mother is now detained in Pi Suo Prison,
- the other person... - Is Xu Feng.
It was also a coincidence that he was at Luo Xiang Mansion as well.
On the surface,
it does look like that.
On the surface?
He was at the scene,
there were Fei Bai letter and glass fire,
they were all directed to Xu Feng.
But I think that's way too direct and obvious.
You believe that it was not done by Xu Feng?
I believe that...
there are things that my brother would and wouldn't do.
Then who do you think it would be?
The difficult part is that, we know Xu Feng is not the murderer...
but we don't know who it is.
Water Immortal was respectable in the Heaven realm,
admired by many.
He made no enemies.
Even you have seen the files but...
yet found no clues.
I'm afraid it will be very difficult to find out the true murderer.
If these case files are exposed to the public,
other immortals might not be able to distinguish right and wrong like you.
That's right.
I know that you have high expectations of Xu Feng,
his reputation cannot be tarnished.
In long-term,
I suggest that before we find out the murderer,
let's not expose the files to the public.
Yu Er,
I have high expectations of you too.
I'm willing to share the burden with you and brother.
Yu Er,
sometimes you are...
so thoughtful that it aches my heart.
Xu Feng needs to avoid arousing suspicion,
this case will be fully handled by you,
just do according to what you said.
Yes, father.
I don't know why,
when I look at Water Immortal,
I feel really calm...
and he seems very friendly.
Jin Mi is the daughter of Zi Fen and I.
I will never leave you...
and make you feel lonely.
You'll fall if you get any higher!
I'm not scared.
If I fall, father will protect me.
It can't be.
It can't be him.
It's impossible.
It can't be.
Lord Fire Immortal,
you are always close with Jin Mi,
please try to help her.
Jin Mi.
I want to pay respect to both immortals,
is that alright?
I will find the murderer to console both of you.
How's the investigation going?
No progress as for now.
It's so odd,
both Immortals passed away on the spot...
but there's not even a single trace.
When Father and Aunt Lin Xiu were still alive,
they were filled with kindness,
held themselves aloof from the world.
Why would they be in such misfortune?
It's all my fault.
How can you blame yourself for it?
You don't have to blame yourself.
Let me ask you,
in all six realms,
who is able to control glass fire?
Glass fire...
the most difficult spell of phoenix tribe.
Based on what I know, in these few thousand years,
besides my mother and I...
I'm afraid that in all six realms, there's no other person.
Why did you ask me all of a sudden?
Let me ask you again.
In all six realms, how many people are able to kill father and Aunt Lin Xiu?
Have you discovered something?
If you have, you must tell me quickly.
I found this letter when I was organising father's things.
Do you have any explanations for this letter?
Fei Bai letter?
Hope to meet you at midnight at the court...
to talk about Jin Mi. I look forward to seeing you.
Besides you,
who would write in Fei Bai writing?
Are you suspecting me?
I didn't write this letter.
Obviously someone is trying to frame me.
Let me ask you,
when father was in danger,
why are you at the scene?
Someone in Luo Xiang Mansion came to me,
said he was ordered by Water Immortal to invite me over to his place.
We are framed.
Framed?
You don't believe me?
When my father was dying,
even his clothes were burnt and turned white.
Let me ask you,
what kind of fire...
could burn his clothes like that?
- Glass fire. - That's right! It's glass fire.
Based on what you said,
in all six realms, only you and Heavenly Empress can use glass fire.
But the Heaven Empress is trapped in the prison!
Now you are the only person who can use glass fire.
It's you!
You killed my father!
You and I have known each other for so many years,
do you not know what kind of person I am?
Wind Immortal and Water Immortal are your family members,
how could I kill them?
Even if it was me who killed both immortals,
I wouldn't be so stupid and leave a letter to arouse suspicion.
Please think about it carefully.
Right now I can't prove my innocence.
But if you really think that I've killed both of them,
then just use my life to substitute theirs.
I don't want your life.
I only want my father to be alive!
Jin Mi,
give me some time,
I will bring the murderer to you.
Trust me.
Father...
I only want father...
I only want my father to be alive...
Father...
Father, don't leave.
Father, please don't leave me.
Father...
Phoenix, I beg you, please don't kill father.
Father, please don't leave me.
Father... Father...
Phoenix, I beg you.
I beg you.
Father. Phoenix, please don't kill father.
Lord Night Immortal has drawn up a new rule.
Starting from last month,
besides the Divine Army of 8 directions, other immortals are...
not permitted to obtain the case files.
His Majesty has agreed on it.
Your Highness,
could Lord Night Immortal be the murderer?
How is that possible?
He is my brother,
no matter how many grudges we hold,
he wouldn't harm me like that.
Yes, I was just confused for a moment.
His Highness has always been fair,
everyone in the Heaven Realm praises him for that.
He wouldn't do this kind of thing.
Fair? Everyone praises him?
That's true indeed.
Run Yu only knows water spell,
he absolutely cannot summon the glass fire.
Also, Water Immortal is Run Yu's patron.
Run Yu is thoughtful,
he won't murder the Water Immortal just to frame me.
Mother.
Xu Er.
Xu Er,
my son, you've finally come to see me.
Father doesn't allow me to visit you.
Why would you end up like this?
If Heavenly Emperor doesn't allow you to come...
then please don't come here anymore.
Don't provoke the Heavenly Emperor.
I'm fine.
When you become Heavenly Emperor, I'll be released.
Mother,
if it's mine then it will naturally be mine.
If it's not mine, then what's the point in fighting over it?
Silly child, of course you have to fight for it.
Mother,
did you do anything to Water Immortal?
What happened to Water Immortal?
Water Immortal and Wind Immortal have passed away.
Does it have anything to do with you?
That's great.
It was you?
It doesn't matter who killed them.
Right now Run Yu has lost his biggest support,
even if he marries Jin Mi,
it won't affect your chance to ascend the throne.
Why don't you think about...
how you can use this chance to get one step ahead?
Even the prison could not diminish your ambition.
You think that these are for my own good,
but you're just making me the heartless person.
Xu Feng, how could you say that?
A man of great ambition does not bother about trifles.
If you want to be the Heavenly Emperor,
you can't be kind and soft-hearted.
Mother,
you gave birth to me...
but you don't know me even a bit.
My child,
I know you far too well.
Your thinking is simple, you are soft-hearted.
The things that you are not willing to do,
I'll do it for you.
You're not as tricky and sharp-witted as Run Yu.
You don't know when he'll plot against you.
We are brothers,
how can he harm me?
Mother, you'll only get on his wick.
You need to be more ruthless than him.
You need to be more ruthless than everyone,
only then you'll be able to make everyone surrender to you.
Xu Feng, for mother,
you'll have to take over the throne as Heavenly Emperor.
Right now Water Immortal is dead,
it's the perfect opportunity to eliminate Run Yu.
You only need to marry Sui He,
the bird tribe will then be your backup.
I won't marry Sui He.
Silly child,
why can't you see the situation clearly?
If you keep obsessing with Jin Mi,
you'll regret it later.
Then I shall see, if I don't do what you want,
will I live a better life.
Sorry for being unfilial.
Xu Feng,
you have to be the Heavenly Emperor!
This is my only wish.
I can even give up my life for you.
A sheep has the gratitude for being fed on milk,
a crow has the responsibility for regurgitation feeding.
Even beast and birds are like that,
let alone Immortals.
Cruel, unfilial and ungrateful act like...
eating my own mother to be stronger is not different from being a beast.
I'm sorry that I can't do it.
Even if the entire world has wronged me,
I will not be that kind of filial son that you said.
Xu Feng!
Xu Feng.
Don't be nervous,
as a beginner, you are already doing very well.
Your Highness has so many duties,
I want to learn it quickly...
so that I could share your burden.
Haste does not bring success.
Don't rush it, take your time.
I believe that you'll pick it up quickly...
with your intelligence.
Your Highness,
is it time to set up the Three Stars yet?
Antares star has not descended, it is not the time yet.
How many dreams have you eaten?
You must be bloated.
- Set up The Three Stars. - Yes.
Remember,
it's not easy to get together in life,
just like The Three Stars and Antares star that never cross path.
Father.
You're here.
You know that Jin Mi is in love with me...
but you are always in our way.
Don't blame me for being heartless.
Lin Xiu!
This is the dream of reality.
Fish Fairy said that...
the Dream Journal records the places that the beast of dream has been to.
If that dream is real,
it means the beast of dream has been to Qi Wu Palace.
"Dream Journal"
It really is Phoenix's dream.
Look, doesn't the Antares star look like a scorpion?
Whereas The Three Stars look like a hunter with a bow.
The hunter and the prey are meant to be enemies.
They might intersect each other...
but they're still separated...
and never see each other.
It will be all for today.
Brother Yan You,
where are you taking me?
Does brother Run Yu know?
I've told him.
I'm bringing you to the mud pond, are you happy?
That's great!
Where are you all going?
Of course going back to where he's supposed to go.
Where he's supposed to go?
This is his home.
The rules here are strict, people are always scheming against each other,
it will only take away a child's innocents.
Li Er, come here.
Your Highness,
Yan You,
why not let Li Er decide where he wants to go?
Okay.
You decide on your own.
Brother Yan You,
I want to follow Brother Run Yu.
Come.
Good boy.
You're still young but you already despise the poor and favor the rich.
It's fine.
If you want to go back, let me know anytime,
I'll come and get you, okay?
Yan You,
actually I've already considered you my brother.
If you really want to leave, I won't keep you.
But if you want to come over,
you can come here anytime.
Xuan Ji Palace will always welcome you.
I don't have Fire Immortal's ability,
I'm not qualified to be your brother.
I beg to be excused.
Li Er,
thank you for choosing to stay and keep me company.
The day when mother left,
she hid me in Yun Meng Marsh...
and told me that if she couldn't make it back,
I'll have to listen to you from now on.
I remember all of this.
Mother also asked me to protect and care for you.
I won't forget it.
From now on,
both of us will depend on each other.
Will I be able to see Brother Yan You again...
and roll around in the mud pond?
Of course you can.
Okay, go back and have a rest first.
Yan You has left,
have I really changed?
In my whole life,
I've never done anything immoral.
How could the Heavenly Empress...
and Xun Feng act recklessly?
As for me,
even taking revenge causes me to be castigated...
and cast aside by my family.
