[Episode 8]
Teacher,
have you solved it yet?
It too difficult to pass through the Lightening Vines,
so change to a different method.
Then what's your idea?
I can go find the Empress. She'll definitely help me.
No.
Why?
If we want to reopen Guojiao Academy, we can't find other people to help us.
Or other schools will look down on us.
What teacher says makes sense.
Teacher, I'll help you clean up.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Subbers of the Destiny @ Viki
Teacher!
That book grew feet!
The book grew feet.
Master, be careful.
No problem.
Be careful!
Show yourself!
You scared me to death!
Thirty-Six, I just knew it was you.
Thirty-Six, how dare you act like a ghost!
What do you think? My new invisible cloak is more stable now right?
I heard you found the key?
That's right, but I can't get through the Lightening Vines.
I can't get the key.
Ask me.
You've got such an intelligent and handsome friend right by your side!
If you don't ask me, who would you ask?
Geniuses are born to invent things!
How is it?
Isn't the armor charming?
Don't touch.
What's so great about it? Isn't it just a bunch of scrap metal?
Who cares?
Don't you understand?
Whether or not your Guojiao Academy can reopen would depend on my pile of scrap metal!
Let me tell you! This is my dedicated invention,
Plant killing, lightening repellent Golden Armor.
P-Plant killing...
lightening repellent... Golden Armor?
That's correct! This armor has been processed in a special coating.
No matter what kind of plant it is, once in contact with my armor, they will all be poisoned.
Right here, it's also equipped with a special lightening-proof function.
Not only can it help you get passed the Lightening Vines,
more importantly, it makes a great fashion statement!
Your Highness, he says this is fashionable.
You, Bear, won't understand fashion!
Try it.
Your Highness, we can't let Mister take this risk.
You don't even know. Last time, his deep, deep attracting contraption was a total failure!
He called you a bear, and now you're totally acting like one!
Who said Teacher should try it? Let him try it himself.
Thirty-Six, you must be careful.
Thirty-Six, even though I didn't like to listen to the words you used to say,
but I'll definitely think of you.
Also, do you have any other inventions? Tell me where you put them, I will make sure I continue your legacy.
Lastly, it's been nice knowing you.
My dear Thirty-Six, firstly I must apologize for
all the rude things I have said to you. I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I wish you happiness.
You must be careful.
Don't worry.
That key, I must bring it back.
Go help him!
Thirty-Six! Thirty-Six?
Thirty-Six? Are you okay?
You see, exactly like I said. How can you be okay after all the binding and shocking?
Let's first take him to rest.
Changsheng, I researched again and made a lot of changes.
This time my lightening repellent armor will definitely poison those vines!
I beg you, please stop messing with us.
Are your injuries even better yet?
But I really spent a lot of time making improvements.
This time, I'll definitely succeed.
If I don't succeed, I will give you my Invisible Cloak!
Please no. I beg you.
You're Tang family's sixteenth generation,
I beg you to give those treasures to your eighteenth child to play with.
Then what do you suggest we do? Do you just want to leave the key there?
Other than my lightening repellent armor, what other better ideas do you have? Tell me!
Obtaining the key is a small matter.
My master's life is worth ten thousand times more than your pathetic treasures.
This...
I recognize you. We've sparred before.
Oh, so you were that stupid Taoist who didn't know life from death.
Hey, who are you? Why are you holding Changsheng hostage?
You black-haired chicken! If you dare hurt my teacher, I'm going to take your life!
A lot of people want me dead. It doesn't matter if you're another one of them.
You want to save him?
Just hand over the key of Zhou Garden, and I will let him go.
Or else, I'll first kill him
then I'll kill you two.
What garden?
Thirty-Six!
Such an important key, we can't give it to the Demon Clan.
Black-haired chicken! I'm going to kill you!
It's not that I don't want to give you the key,
t-this key... it's just hidden too-too-too-too well!
Normal people can't get it!
Really? Then I don't have any more patience.
Okay! Okay!
Since you're forcing me, I'll tell you the key's secret.
You!
- Come with me.- Thirty-Six, no!
Go.
This key is inside Guojiao Academy's library.
The shelf over there, on top there is a copper box,
inside the box, there is the golden key.
Master!
Are you okay?
I didn't finish what I was saying.
In front of the key, there is a protecting spell.
Inside there are man-eating vines.
Not to mention, there is lightning, too, so...
Lightning?
My cross-shaped sword, linked with five vital spirits, glorified by their splendor,
there's nothing that can stop me.
You think you, Demon Girl, can break through the spell?
Oh, right... you're not a Phoenix.
You can't stand fire very well.
Be careful. The spell is going to burn you into a hairless chicken!
Rongrong!
How can that Phoenix even be compared with me?
That's laughable.
Are you okay?
Stop saying so much.
Six devils begin!
Thunder formation. Smash!
She really got the key?
Stop!
[Guojiao Academy]
Why can this key open this door?
Are you stupid? This key is supposed to open the gates of Guojiao Academy!
You tricked me!
I tricked you, so what?
- Shh!- Shh!
What are you looking at?
It's the Demon Clan! Run!
Run!
After him!
Hurry and go!
Good.
I let you chase and you really chased. You really are obedient.
Let me tell you. This is Shendu City. This isn't the Demon Clan's turf.
Watch yourself.
Kill him.
You dare?
If any of you dare hurt a hair on his head, I'll kill her.
I'd given you a better way out earlier.
I, Tang Thirty-Six, am a reserved man.
I told you not to chase me and you didn't believe me.
A mere palace maid has no status to speak to me.
Kill him!
Hey! You're still screaming? Let's go.
Thanks.
If you ever need my help, feel free to ask.
Please stop causing trouble everywhere.
This time I didn't cause trouble. It's a complicated situation.
Let me put it simply. Changseng wants to attend the Ivy Banquet,
but the Empress doesn't really talk reason.
If you don't like it, I won't talk about it.
Give me a chance to return this favor.
I can't sleep if I owe people favors.
I know you like me and have been protecting me secretly.
How can you be so narcissistic?
I just can't stand to see the Demon Clan be so daring. I just didn't want them to be causing trouble in Shendu City.
Then we are really fated.
Stop following me.
Why are you angry?
I say! Everything about you is good, you're just not honest enough.
Can't you wait for me?
Nanke, why are you here to die again?
I like you.
I know you can't bear to kill me.
Wake up, Nanke!
A demon is a demon.
The evil and the good have never been together since ancient times.
The reason I didn't kill you is because I'm looking for the Heart-Warming Orchid for my junior disciple.
She has always loved this kind of plant.
You better stay away from me. Go back to your cold and old city!
Next time I see you, I won't be kind.
Master.
What's wrong?
Not only did I not obtain the key, but I was fooled by the Human Clan.
On your way, you met Qiushan Jun. He didn't treat you well.
Master, you saw?
I didn't really mean it.
I just think he could be useful to us.
But it's too bad. He said, "A demon is a demon.
We can't be together." Right?
If we can't be together, then we can just make him into a member of the Demon Clan.
Okay?
Master, what do you have in mind?
Come up with a way to plant this demon seed on Qiushan Jun's body.
His heart's other side will slowly emerge.
When this seed becomes completely black, he'll be useful to me.
That's great.
With Qiushan Jun loyal to me, he will not be to that Phoenix!
But this demon seed has not been activated, so you can't use it yet.
Think of a way to get Qiushan Jun's hair so I can activate the spell.
When the time is ripe, this seed will be planted in his heart.
Hair?
Heart-Warming Orchid?
Nanke, you are asking for death!
I was born with a bad habit. Whatever other people want, I must take it away from them.
I don't have time to fight with you.
But I am looking for a fight.
Junior Sister, I am here for a visit; asking to see you.
What brings you here Senior Brother?
I noticed that Junior Sister's residence is quite cold, so I picked this Heartwarming Orchid
to give to you as a gift.
Senior Brother, are you injured?
A small injury, it's fine.
The sky is my home, the ground is my bed.
Five mountains and rivers as my bridge.
Create boundary!
Hey, Changsheng, I was just thinking.
I think I'm so proud of myself.
We actually tricked someone from the Demon Clan and got the key.
Of course, this is everyone's contribution.
My invisible cloak did an amazing job!
But I really feel that I'm super smart.
Yes, this time was mostly thanks to you.
Right? Don't you feel a little admiration for me?
Yes, I do admire you a lot right now.
Especially your... deep? Deep attraction?
Hey! Can you stop mentioning that?
Okay, now we finally have the key.
And it won't be long before the Ivy Banquet.
We must prepare soon.
I hope these boundaries can resist the troblemaker demons!
Let's go.
Teacher!
What's that? Do you have something on your mind?
There's not enough medicinal herbs and you can't stop taking it.
What's so difficult about that? I live in the neighboring White Plains.
- White Plains?- Yeah.
It's a deserted medical garden, left unattended for a while now.
- So? Let's go pick herbs.- White Plains?
Let's go.
Teacher look. These and these are all herbs.
They tell me it's a place where Emperor Taizong planted flowers and herbs,
so it became deserted after he passed away.
I trust he's someone that deserves to be admired.
Just like the Scarlet fruit. I've only seen it in a book.
Master look. There's a lot of different medicinal herbs. Take your time picking them.
Some medicinal herbs can only be picked after sunset.
How about you return first?
Okay, then I'll go look for Uncle Jin.
Sorry for intruding.
I am Chen Changsheng, student of the Guojiao Academy next door.
Are you this garden's owner?
This tea is strong yet refreshing, a rare delicacy indeed.
If it were me,
I would make this move.
What a good small side move!
Panic robbery!
Occupy four corners and the center.
Slow down when entering the border.
Where there is no evil.
Get an unexpected break!
This young man looks exactly like Emperor Taizhong when he was younger.
This really was good tea.
She left just like that?
Miss Yu, you and Yong'er are like sisters.
You can't just watch her marry such a useless person.
Mrs. Xu please get up first then talk.
Now only you can save our family's Rong'er.
That Chen Changsheng is just an uncivilized villager.
Not only has he not been cultivated, he doesn't even have basic manners.
Moreover, he constantly shows up with the engagement letter to force the marriage.
He also asks us to find him a high-ranked position and demands for gifts.
How could I stand my own flesh and blood to be tortured so?
Don't worry, Mrs. Xu. Yong'er and I are close like sisters!
Her marriage absolutely can't be decided by that Chen Changsheng!
In that case, thank you Miss Yu.
Your Highness, you are back.
What is the background on Chen Changsheng from Guojiao Academy?
I was meaning to tell you about this.
Chen Changsheng and Yourong are engaged.
Engaged?
According to Lord Xu, Xu Taizai was so old
perhaps he was tricked by someone, that's why he agreed to the engagement.
No one can trick Xu Taizai.
Lord Xu also said Chen Chengsheng is not a good match for Yourong.
His character is very unbearable.
How is he unbearable?
He just wants to use Lord Xu to gain fame and wealth.
Lord Xu wants Your Majesty to help him cancel this engagement.
It has not been long since he came to the Sacred Capital.
Unbearable character, is just an excuse of Xu Weixin.
But Xu Weixin's intention is, he wants us to get rid of Chen Changsheng.
Can you get rid of someone just because he's engaged?
Yourong doesn't know about this yet.
Besides, the cultivation method that Yourong is practicing only allows her to fall in love with people with the Blood of Real Dragon.
If she falls for other people, the method will backfire.
To protect the future successor of the Phoenix, we can't let her previous efforts go to waste.
Yourong's cultivation has gone too smoothly.
As for how to deal with this engagement,
is a test for her.
I think Chen Changsheng coming to the Sacred Capital, the timing is too coincidental.
How is it coincidental?
I always feel like there is someone encouraging him on,
to come to the Sacred Capital and show up in front of us.
So what?
Because his surname is Chen.
It'll make the people of the Sacred Capital associate him with the Chen Royals.
In this grand Sacred Capital, so what if his surname is Chen?
Your Majesty, what you mean is...
Can't I even let this Child go?
- But Your Majesty...- All right!
You're dismissed.
Yes.
Greetings, Your Majesty. I came as you commanded.
Come, sit next to me.
I've heard about your engagement.
What are your plans?
All I think about is what is right!
You've been away from your parents since you were little and have been cultivating all this time.
Now you are faced with these mortal matters.
Do you feel like you don't know how to deal with it?
After all, your marriage is your own business.
You should make the decision.
Speaking of which, life is made up of choices.
Although people feel pain when they grow up,
but you still need to grow up.
I will remember what you have said.
Yourong, Her Highness met you alone. What did she say to you?
She asked about my engagement.
What are you going to do?
I don't know, either.
You don't know?
How come you don't know?
The Xu Yourong in my heart always knows which path to take.
Knowing is one thing,
but it's easier said then done.
Don't tell me you can't let go of the engagement with Chen Changsheng.
You must not fall for him.
Maybe it's just as the Empress said. I have been away from secular affairs since I was a child.
I don't know how to face or deal with people.
I am just worried that I will hurt other people.
But have you ever thought that if you fall for him,
you might hurt yourself.
I need time to think this over.
I am leaving.
Yourong, if you are indecisive,
you will ruin yourself and everyone's expectations on you.
[Guojiao Academy]
Now, I can finally walk though the main entrance with dignity and honor.
Princess Luoluo, how are you doing in Sacred Capital?
I am doing well.
Expectedly, Uncle Jin is very strict to me. He only allows me to spend a few hours at Teacher's place. That's not enough.
Does your Teacher treat you well?
Of course! My teacher treats me extremely well!
You didn't know? He's so amazing!
My meridian problem- No, he solved the whole Beast Clan's meridian problem!
Your Highness, those are small tricks. Please don't be fooled by him.
Small tricks?
Then why don't you give it a try, Sister Mo You.
I thought that you would be more open minded since you are the Empress' Maid.
I didn't expect you are also like those people.
Anyway, you are not allowed to say anything bad about him in the future.
Even the Great Empress can't solve our meridian problem.
He's this amazing. He will definitely make a difference in the future.
Your Highness!
- Greetings, Your Highness. - Come.
Sit down.
You little rascal.
Your Highness, I brought a present for you.
Look, this is the latest Jinding Tea in the Sacred Capital this year.
It has a nice scent. My teacher said if you boil it in water it will smell even better.
Look at you. It doesn't matter if you don't stay in the palace to stay with me,
but you casually got yourself a teacher outside.
No, it's not casual. Not casual at all.
I had an official ceremony.
You are so capricious. How am I going to explain this to Emperor Bai?
I am not afraid of Father.
Besides, Uncle Jin really likes him.
My teacher can protect me. My father will be happy about that.
Your teacher is called Chen Changshen, right?
He, himself, is a student.
He didn't even succeed in cultivation. How can he protect or teach you?
But Your Highness...
You little child, don't make a fuss.
Mo You, bring Luoluo Princess to Taindao Academy.
To study.
No, I told you I already joined Guojiao Academy, which makes me a student of Guojiao Academy.
We can't be disloyal to our choices, right?
Study there just for a day so I can give Emperor Bai an explanation.
Okay, just for one day.
Besides, even if I go often it's a waste of time. I don't learn anything there.
Your Highness, you will one day know how amazing my teacher is.
Okay, I will wait for that day.
[Tiandao Academy]
You are the distinguished guest recommended by Lady Mo? What is your name?
Hello, Mister, my name is Luoluo.
Come this way, please.
Zhuang Huanyu!
- Who is that? - I don't know.
Master.
This is our distinguished guest, Luoluo.
This is your senior brother, Zhuang Huanyu. Ask him if you need anything in the future.
Hello, I am Luoluo.
Hello, everyone, my name is Luoluo.
Junior Sister, is the Luo in your name the same as Luoxia (afterglow)?
It can also be Luomo (solitude).
That is such a good name.
It turns out the distinguished guest is our new junior sister.
Wow, Taindao Academy is amazing. They have all kinds of weapons.
I am going to try all these weapons later.
If Junior Sister wants to try these weapons,
I can practice with you.
Who wants to practice weapons?
I meant I was going to beat all the weapons here.
None of these weapons here are suitable for me.
Okay, everyone go back to practice.
Yes, Master.
Junior Sister!
You are already going back? You are not going live here?
I am a student of Guojiao Academy.
I am just here to sight see. Don't follow me, Senior Brother.
Hey.
Senior! You are but the famous master Huanyu,
tenth on the Qingyun succession. How does she dare to be so proud?
You don't understand.
This girl has a unique personality. I think she's pretty good.
This Junior Sister is quite different.
Miss Luoluo, I am sorry I didn't greet you earlier.
Don't worry, I am just here to have a meal.
You can go back to work; don't mind me.
I am honored to have such a distinguished guest like you. Please come upstairs.
Right, one of my friends will come. Please greet him for me.
Okay.
Hello, Junior Sister, I am Guo Guang from Taindao Academy, which also make me your Senior Brother.
I am already expecting someone.
Wait a second.
Why doesn't Junior Sister accompany me first?
You can talk and laugh with Senior Zhuang, you can also converse with me.
Who wants to converse with you? You are so rude.
Junior Sister, this place is too noisy.
Why don't we go somewhere else?
Mister, please behave yourself!
This is none of your business!
Let's go Junior Sister.
- You jerk! - Junior Sister, don't misunderstand me.
- Put me down! - Xuanyuan Po, put him down.
Yes.
Why are you bothering Luoluo?
This issue is between her and I.
If you want to act like a hero, draw your sword.
Otherwise, there won't be another chance for you to draw your sword!
Teacher, you don't need to handle this type of person.
I got this.
Junior Sister, you will lose.
This is the Army-Breach Fist, starts out like the wind coming together.
Don't worry! Her meridians can connect her nascent soul well. Let's see how it goes!
Xingwei. (A position)
Jingxu. (A position)
