[Fighter of the Destiny]
[Episode 9]
Her meridians can connect her nascent soul well. Let's see how it goes!
Constellation position.
Jingxu position.
Junior Sister, you sure are skilled.
Such a pity you're with these common folk.
Common folk are better than a punk like you.
What are you looking at, you psycho.
Teacher! So, am I formidable?
Very formidable.
Of course, I know. It's all thanks to you.
Thank you, Teacher.
I will pay for all the losses we caused today.
You and Tang Thirty-Six are the same. So careless with money.
- I beat up a badass. Aren't you happy Teacher? - I'm happy.
Teacher, what do you want to eat?
I want to eat everything.
What does this have to do with you?
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Subbers of the Destiny @ Viki
Junior Sister!
Senior Brother Qiushan, how is your recovery?
Don't worry about me, I've come especially to see you.
You disregard your safety to find the heart-warming orchard for me.
I'm very grateful.
You're still so polite with me.
I've heard Mo Yu's men reported the Beast Clan's spies
have been active in the Sacred Capital.
Let them come. I can kill them all.
Junior Sister, since you're free...
I want to pay your parents a visit... Is that convenient?
I need to go into the Palace to report to the Great Empress. I'm not planning to go back.
Really?
If that's the case, I'll visit them another day.
I'll get going.
What happened to you in your childhood? What does it mean to you?
Nothing. Just some memories of the past.
You should know, End the emotions early; otherwise, it'll mess with you.
- If you keep hesitating... - I know what I'm doing.
Your cultivated methods only allow you to fall in love with people with Blood of Real Dragon.
Other than that, if you fall for any other person,
not only will it cost you all your cultivation but it'll also backfire on you.
Yourong, I know it's hard for you to be heartless and let go.
Don't worry. I can help you accomplish it.
Even if you don't forgive me for it.
Chen Changsheng.
I've heard you've already solved the problem with the acupuncture point of the Demon Clan.
No. I've just improved it a little.
Princess Loulou came to the Sacred Capital to solve the Demon Clan's acupuncture point problem.
The Great Empress has also been very concerned about this matter, too.
In the Palace, there's a cold pond,
the rock under the pond can help with the acupuncture point. Perhaps it can help you.
I'm just a student of the Guojiao Academy, am I qualified to enter the palace?
Right now, the only thing you need to be concerned about is how to solve Princess Loulou's acupuncture point problem.
Listening to you, it seems like I have no way of turning it down.
Why did you accept Princess Loulou as your disciple?
I accepted her as my disciple is because of her sincerity.
It has nothing to do with her identity.
If you want fame, then you should choose wisely.
The Emperor and Empress Bai are like Her Majesty, they are of the same first class experts.
Anybody looking at you would not think you passed the cultivation stage.
I just want to solve Loulou's acupuncture problem. I haven't given it much thought.
Should I say you're full of confidence, or you don't know your limits.
Has it never crossed your mind, that you might fail?
Here is the cold pool.
Well, are you afraid?
Don't you want to be successful?
If you were really concerned about Loulou, you would have sent someone to the cold pond long ago.
Besides, based on Loulou's status, if the cold pond could cure her
the Great Empress would have given it to her already.
And then?
Why do you look down on me?
You are a little smarter than I expected.
But the way I see it, you're shameless.
Please explain.
- Why did you deceive Princess Loulou? - When did I deceive her?
Otherwise, according to your status, why would she accept you as her teacher.
Besides, even Her Majesty can resolve this problem.
Based on you, how can you resolve it?
Perhaps, I'm just lucky.
What about the engagement?
That is between me and Eastern General Mansion. It has nothing to do with Loulou.
So what you mean is
because you have a good character, all the girls who's somebody or with status
will revolve around you.
I've never thought like that.
Then you should think about it.
Perhaps what Mo Yu said is correct.
End the emotions early, before it messes with me.
Is there anyone there?
Come greedy human who wants these treasures.
Then you'll be my meal.
The legend is real.
There is a dragon in the Sacred Capital. A black-scaled dragon.
Looks like I can't get away this time.
People say, you can't fight fate. But I disagree.
That's why I want to change it.
I want to live past 20 years old. The longer, the better.
But I must survive first past 20 years old.
I value my time. I use all of my time to cultivate and study.
I hope I can change my own fate.
Everyday I wake early and sleep early, exercise, work hard at maintaining my health.
Only that way can I stand a chance to live longer and see more beautiful things.
So right now, all I've done is for survival.
Because to me, the most important thing is to live.
I'm willing to give it everything.
Changing one's fate is hard, but no matter how hard it is,
I will not give up.
Because the cooked sliced pig head meat in Xining Town is sliced thin.
With red oil and rock salt, it's really delicious.
Because there is a lot of interesting knowledge in books.
Because life is beautiful.
But it seems like I can't live past twenty years old.
I don't want the girl who gave me the bamboo dragonfly to live as a widow.
That's why the first thing I did when I arrived at the Scared Capital was to cancel my engagement.
I don't want to die.
But right now it looks like I am going to die.
Thank you for not eating me right away and letting me say what I wanted to say.
Although it seems ridiculous, but let me have the final battle with you.
Master, can you see this?
I am going to change my fate.
[delete]
Dragon language?
Master taught me dragon language before.
You want to talk me right?
Although I can speak dragon language, I don't understand the meaning of it.
You can teach me. I know that you can talk.
You don't want the treasures in here?
You really know how to talk?
A lot of people fell down here died because of their greediness.
You are lucky that I have no intention of eating you right now.
Actually, being eaten by a dragon,
rather then dying by an illness, will likely to be remembered more.
That means you want me to eat you?
No, no, no. That's not what I meant.
Right, do you have any medicine down here that can cure the Beast meridians?
There is only me down here.
She did lie to me.
You also got tricked?
Hateful humans, trapping me in here for all these years, they should all go die!
But in the world there are also good people.
Not one good person in the world, because if there is one why hasn't he come to save me!
[Cultivation]
[Purify your marrow. Purify the spirit of your star.]
Read a book a hundred times.
Its meaning will become obvious naturally.
You are actually the Black-Scaled Dragon that was defeated by the Great Empress?
So you've been trapped down here all this time.
Now you know about me. If Tianhai finds out you know my secret, she will definitely kill you.
It's been so many years, why must the Great Empress keep you trapped here?
It it because she is scared that you are going to hurt the humans?
She had some big help from people who were not afraid of me.
She locks me up in here to punish me for what I did in the past.
I'm not scared of her.
She will just keep me down here for a few more decades, that means nothing to us dragons.
That means you don't want to get out of here?
Don't want to.
But going out once in a while to go eat so good food won't be so bad.
How about this? I know dragons keep their promises.
If you swear that you will no longer cause any disasters for the human, then
I can think of a way to get you out of here.
What did you say? You will help me get out of here?
If you swear, then I will help you get out of here.
I swear I won't get revenge on the human, won't cause them any more disasters.
Okay, now hurry and think of a way to get me out of here.
Okay, give me a minute.
Bring your feet over here.
This is your way of saving me?
Do you have a better idea?
If I knew a better idea I would've gotten out of here a long time.
Why would I need you?
How about this, Uncle Dragon. You let me leave this place first.
When I find a way, I will come back to save you.
You call me Uncle Dragon?!
[Little Black Dragon]
Who are you calling "Uncle?" Do I look that old to you?
Let me tell you, our dragons' life span is very long.
According to dragons I'm only 2 years old.
Who do you think you are calling me "Uncle?"
Sorry.
How about I give you a new name?
How does Zhusha sound?
Zhusha.
Is the name edible?
Right.
What do you usually eat down here?
Are you blind? Look around yourself. Would you eat that?
I have staved for a long time.
Do you have more?
Don't worried. I got more.
This is so delicious! Do you always carry so many delicious snacks with you?
My black sword is able to store many things.
These fruits are nothing. How about I bring you some freah fish next time?
Or how about some blue lobster?
Your dragon species prefer fish and lobsters right?
Hmmm!
Such a complicated formation.
Looks like I need to go back and solve this formation. Then come back to save you.
It's no use.
No one is able to break this ankle chain.
I have been trapped under the Beixin bridge for so long.
That wretched Tianhai said unless the Luo river submerges the Beixin bridge;
otherwise, this formation won't break.
So not for the foreseeable future, then?
I probably won't be able to live that long.
You won't live that long? You should be able to live one or two years to keep me company.
But I still need to change my fate.
This is the only way I can survive.
Once I found out I didn't have a lot of time left, I hae been always fighting with destiny.
Hoping that I can survive a little longer.
Both of use are the same, living in despair in hoping a miracle would happen.
You and ghosts are alike to believe in miracles.
If miracles did exist, my father would have rescued me a long time ago.
Sent me out of here.
I promise you,
I will definitely get you out of here.
All right, I will send you out.
But you must keep your word.
Get up.
Close your eyes.
I don't know if I'm trusting the right person.
I thought it was something valuable.
It's just some broken flagstones.
One, two, three, four, five , six, seven...
Have you seen Chen Changshen?
He was taken by Lady Mo.
Lady Mo?
What does she want with Chengshang?
You... What are you doing?
I don't know. I just dug them up.
- Just dug them up? - Yup.
This drawing is weird and strange. You can tell it's not magic tools.
Are those characters on the top?
It looks like it. But it's too old.
You can't see it clearly. Too vague.
Then, paint some persimmon-cherry fruit juice on it.
Then it can distinct the characters and protect the stone.
- Really? - Of course.
Do you think I read those books for nothing?
All right.
Miss Chujian.
Changsheng, what happened to you?
I fell in the water by accident.
Come over here. I will help you.
Hot, hot, hot. Less hot please.
That's weird, it looks like it's scared of you.
I... It might be because my hands can catch on fire by accident.
Your hand can catch on fire?
Wow, that's incredible. It must be convenient when it comes to dinner time.
Thank you.
You reminded me of an old friend.
Really?
That friend is also like you. She has this fire magi, too. Her hands will catch alight.
There's a lot of people who know this magic. It's nothing special.
Turn around.
Your hair.
What brings you here?
I heard that this garden had a lot of herbs. So I came to pick some.
But I fell into the water by accident.
Not everyone can come to Herb Garden.
Miss.. Then how did you get in here?
I... I work for the court. I've been ordered to come here.
Teacher! Teacher!
- I suddenly-- - I have to go.
- We'll see each other again next time. - Definitely.
See you.
You are...
Xu Yourong.
You are the...
You and my teacher don't have a good relationship. I can't speak to you much.
Your teacher?
His name is Chen Chengsheng.
Forgive me, Princess Luoluo.
But you seem like a nice person.
Why don't you get along with my teacher?
Is it because there is some kind of misunderstanding?
In Your Highness's view, what clarifies as a nice or bad relationship?
Just like me and my teacher. We play with each other everyday. We like each other.
That's having a good relationship.
If it's like that,
then our relationship is not that good.
My teacher is such a good person. I really like him.
And I hope that everyone in the world would like him.
If you say it like this then it's hard. No one is perfect.
That's true.
But my teacher is the closest to perfect out of every man.
How about I ask both of you out to clear up any misunderstanding?
Let's leave it up to fate.
There are some misunderstandings that can't be cleared up ever.
Take care, Your Highness. I am going to go.
That's weird.
Why would there be someone who dislikes my teacher?
What kind of grudges do they have?
Chengsheng? You are finally back. Where did you go?
You went out with Mo Yu? What did you both do?
So many questions. Which one should I answer first?
Mo Yu. Start with what you did with her first.
She wants to kill me.
She wants to kill you? What did you do to her?
I didn't do anything. I'm innocent, she just wants to kill me.
If she really wants to kill you then why are you still alive.
Because I know dragons' language.
Are you hiding something from me?
I'm not.
I think you are?
What kind of secret do you and that bitch Mo Yu have?
There really isn't.
I just met a dragon,
I fed it and it sent me back.
I can't believe that for a woman, you'd actually lie to me with such a childish story.
Chen Changsheng, you value women more than you're friends.
I'm telling you, we are no longer friends?
Thirty-Six, there really is nothing going on between her and I!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
He vanished with her for such a long time. He does value women more than his friends.
We are through as friends. We're over!
- Thirty-Six. - Don't bother me! I'm annoyed right now.
Hey!
Why is it you again? If you are not flying around in the sky, you are running around on the ground.
Can you stand still for a minute?
Not as busy as you.
I'm asking you. Did you go out with Chen Changsheng? Where did you go?
That is none of your business.
I'm just concerned over a friend. What's none of my business?
But he values women more than friends, you're aggressive and arrogant.
It's my fault. I should have chosen wisely.
Who value's women more than friends?
Chen Changsheng, who else?
He came back?
Of course, he came back.
Safe and sound. As if I'd lie.
No way.
No one has ever come back from the Cold Pond alive.
Teacher,
what relationship do you have exactly with the General's Household?
To kill one's own father?
Murder for money?
Eliminate an entire family?
It can't be for fighting for a son's rights?
What exactly is your brain thinking of daily?
I know.
Is it arranged betrothal of minors? It's betrothal of minors? Is it?
Right, why am I so dumb?
Xu Yourong is a noble and is respected by thousands of people.
How could she marry you?
So, you also think we're not well matched?
Of course, you're not well matched.
The woman that can match up to you haven't been born yet.
But...
I can... reluctantly match up to you a little.
Otherwise, why would you accept me as your disciple. Am I right?
Am I right? Am I right?
Am I right?
Your Majesty, Princess Loulou was not happy at the Tiandao Academy.
I don't think she'll come back again.
Princess Loulou wants to stay in the Guojiao Academy.
Let her go there temporarily. Have you investigated Chen Changsheng's background yet?
I went to Li Palace, to check out Chen Changsheng's background.
But they stopped me. The Priest seems quite protective of Chen Changsheng.
Do you think by reopening the Guojia Academy, the Priest has other agendas?
That Priest thinks highly of Chen Changsheng.
I've already discussed this with the Priest about this. I'm sure it's okay.
- But... - From the moment the Guojiao Academy had been reopened,
I've done something that's beyond my authority. I've done something I shouldn't have. Please punish me, Your Majesty.
What did you do? Tell me.
I've locked Chen Changsheng
inside the Cold Pond. Originally, I wanted to punish him a little.
But I never thought he'd break the taboo.
Since you know this is a taboo,
why did you do this?
You wanted to kill him?
I still don't believe in Chen Changsheng's background.
Who would have thought he'd survive and return.
But safe and sound.
I think, he has stirred up a lot of things ever since coming to Sacred Capital.
And his engagement with Yourong, has given him more leverage. Something's not right.
Mo Yu,
I've always trusted you. What you did is really reckless and a serious offense.
I did this all for my master. I had no other intentions.
Please punish me, Your Majesty.
I know you have good intentions. You did it for Yourong.
But some things when you meddle too much, it's worse than doing nothing.
But all the people in the world should take orders from Your Majesty.
As long as you say the word, Yourong's engagement can be...
You're wrong again.
It's not my place to make the decision on this matter.
The person who's to marry is Yourong. Whether she want to marry or not or to whom
is up to her, she makes the final decision.
The marriage between Dragon and Phoenix,
in the end, Yourong must be willing to do it.
If she was to find out
that you tried to kill Chen Changsheng, according to her temper,
I'm afraid she won't let it go.
I understand.
You must explain this to Yourong yourself about this.
I know I was wrong.
In the future, I will not tolerate this type of act again.
Don't mess with Chen Changsheng again.
I obey.
Go on.
Looks like you're having fun by yourself.
Who would have thought you'd change into your human form for that man.
You must think he's interesting.
Shallow.
He's able to survive and walk out of here, he must be unique.
Not unique. From my point of view,
at least, he's not as heartless and ruthless as you.
You only saw him once, yet you are standing up for him.
He is different from you.
You can give up your own son.
But him, at least, he cares about other people.
How audacious!
Back then if you didn't take orders from the Black Robe,
I would not have given up on everything.
I will use up all your cultivation energy on the grand formation.
So no one can save you.
Yourong,
I wanted to come and apologize to you. I almost had Chen Changsheng killed.
What?
But don't worry. He's all right.
Why did you do that?
I acted on my own. I thought he didn't deserve you.
So I left him there to die.
I didn't expect him to survive.
Stop making things hard on him.
My engagement was decided by my grandfather.
He is innocent.
But whenever I think about your engagement, I worry.
Could it be that you want to marry him?
I heard he'll attend the Ivy Banquet.
Can you tell him for me
to cancel the engagement at the banquet?
What? Are you crazy?
Just get the engagement letter back. Why get him to cancel the engagement at the banquet?
I just want a peaceful future. If he cancels the engagement in front of so many people,
then I'll have an excuse. After I find the keys to the Zhou Garden,
I can return to the Goddess Peak and continue my cultivation, leave these affairs behind.
You're really causing grievance to yourself. Who do you think he is?
He dares to break off your engagement?
The first thing he did here was to cancel the engagement. I should fulfill his wish.
Miss Mo Yu.
Could it be that you also want to kill me?
It's not that serious. I'm just here to pass on a message from Yourong.
What is it?
Can't she come personally to tell me? Must she let you pass on the message.
She wants you to cancel the engagement at the Ivy Banquet.
After that, stop bothering her.
Cancel the engagement publicly?
I'm afraid it'll be bad for her reputation.
That's rare. You're thinking for her?
She has her reasons for saying that.
Just do what she wants.
All right. Since she's made up her mind, I have nothing to say.
I will cancel the engagement in public at the Ivy Banquet.
I hope you'll keep your word.
Master.
Ke'er, the injuries you've incurred from the fight with Mo Yu, are you feeling better?
Thank you for your concerns. I'm fully recovered.
I'm useless. I didn't find the key.
But I'm certain about one thing, the key must be at the Goujiao Academy.
I'm 80% certain that it's with Chen Changsheng.
Next time, I make my move, I'll definitely find the key.
Last time, we drew so much attention.
That woman, Tianhai, must be watching now.
For now, don't go to the Academy.
In case you get targeted by them.
All the obstacles that are in the way of the Demon Clan from resurrecting, must die.
Chen Changsheng!
