[Ever Night]
[Episode 33]
All dismissed.
Yes, sir.
The army sent news that Ning Que and Ink Pool Park students
must take fodder deep into the Wildland.
I failed my duty. Punish me.
Bring me his head.
I obey.
Come out. I know where you're hiding.
You Xiling people always do such things.
General Xia Hou. Lixue was rude.
Grand Priest Cheng.
What's important?
General. Hierarch wants Ning Que dead, killed by you personally.
I'm no Xiling dog.
What's Hierarch's right to command me?
General, be calm.
Hierarch wants your co-operation because your identity is special.
Threatening me?
You really think I fear Xiling?
You've naturally nothing to fear.
But you haven't achieved a breakthrough in practice.
I'm afraid only your Master, Lian Sheng 32, can help you do so.
As far as I know, your Master is at Demon Sect Gate.
Impossible.
My Master died 20 years ago.
General Xia Hou, you know your Master isn't ordinary.
Such a great Cultivator
can't lose his life easily.
Perhaps...
my Master is still alive?
Ning Que, so you're here.
You're busy all day.
- Aren't you bored? - Mm.
You believe in fate?
Mm.
I believe in fate.
I believe some people are fated to meet.
Ten years ago, I saw a dark shadow in this city.
It was clearer in early morning.
I didn't know his location.
A few months later, I realised he survived.
On this earth, only I can sense if he's alive.
A year later, I found out he still lived.
But I missed the chance.
Recently, I sensed him again.
I came for a chance.
To do what?
Kill him.
As a Great Expert, why not kill him back then?
Killing or saving someone needs a chance.
Not enough luck.
God's plan can't be known by us ordinary people.
But I am sure that
I came here to know God's plan more.
Until I met a bowl of noodles.
What are you saying?
I want you as my Student.
Let me consider it.
With destiny and chances,
no-one knows what they'll see or meet.
The broth is here. The mutton is here.
It's been an hour; I still can't eat it.
That doesn't mean I'll stay disappointed.
Maybe later, my first bite of mutton will be the most tasty in my life.
Fu Zi, even you can't see the future?
I don't understand Heaven.
How'd I see the future?
If I know everything,
won't I become a lost dog anxious all day long.
Fu Zi, that anxiety sounds more like me.
Won't writing in strong sunlight hurt your eyes?
Your Bookworm title is deserved.
But your writing looks familiar.
In what way?
This looks like mine.
How's your poor skill compare to Lady's?
Our Lady is Book Sage's favoured successor.
In today's world, other than one great Tang calligrapher,
she's taken no-one seriously.
Sister Zhuo.
Fu Zi, mounted bandits approach.
It's your Little Bro's job.
You should eat some meat.
Little Bro faces danger.
Wildland was his home.
He shouldn't be too perturbed.
Perhaps he faced past crises, but now he's my Little Bro.
I won't leave him in such plights.
Bandits- not the only ones.
There are others.
Seems they won't take immediate action.
This is Wildland. You can't run.
Miss Mo, how will you handle this?
Watch in shifts.
They don't move, we won't move.
Yes.
- Stay alert. - Yes, Sister Zhuo.
How can you sleep with bandits around?
They won't attack in daylight.
They'll follow and only strike when we lose will to fight.
Where's your Lady?
I'm anxious about that.
Lady is gone.
What to do? Did something happen?
You're not afraid your Lady ran off alone?
Our Lady isn't that type...
Don't startle anyone.
Stay here. I'll go look.
You...
You're a Talisman Master; they can't touch you.
But how about students,
cart drivers, grooms, and Yan soldiers.
Before you set off, you signed the army order.
If the fodder is lost, how to explain to Xiling?
I...
You've an idea?
They're unusual bandits.
They ride and move with order. as if army trained.
Indeed.
They're unlike bandits; more like troops.
Regardless, we must get rid of them quickly.
How?
Kill them. Attack first.
Attack them first?
Go.
Move. Don't stand around.
We must attack first to gain chances to win.
Bandits just set up camp. They're not ready.
We can't. We'll deliver fodder.
We won't fight.
If we don't make first move, they'll attack before dawn,
or catch us on the way with worse consequences.
You'll all be in trouble, no better off.
We'll only obey the Lady.
Zhong Dajun is right.
We're outnumbered. Sneak attack is the only way.
It's decided.
Yes.
- Lady, no-one's there. - We searched everywhere.
Bad!
It's a set-up.
Back to camp fast.
Sister Zhuo, are you okay?
Lady is back!
Sister Zhuo.
Lady, bandits stole the fodder. I'm to blame.
Lady, me too. Give me a few men to get it back.
I'm at fault too.
Comrades, there are too many bandits. We're no match.
Anyway, the hay is lost. Going back is a dead end. Let's flee.
- What are you doing? - Give me the horse.
- What are you doing? - Give me the horse. Believe I'll kill you.
Zhong Dajun, what are you up to?
Give me the horse!
- You can't do this! - Move!
Deserting before battle, disturbing troops. Die!
This is the battlefield.
You're Allied warriors.
Useless cowards, leave fast.
Those with guts, kill bandits and retrieve carts!
Kill bandits! Kill bandits!
Good. Follow me!
Let's go.
Quit sleeping. Gotta open for business.
I mended your shabby coat. Put it on.
You must've slept soundly.
You snored so loudly.
I slept poorly. I dreamed all night.
Why look at me? Help me a bit.
Every day, you're eating or sleeping.
You're quite old. Be more active.
It'd be good for your health.
Why still sit there?
Find something to do.
Okay, tell me. If I follow you, what will I learn?
Divine Skill.
- Divine Skill? - Yes.
What's Divine Skill? Is it amazing?
Yes.
Can learning Divine Skill earn me money?
You can.
Can it help Young Master fight?
Sure can.
Could I defeat you?
Yes and no.
Truly a mad old man.
How's this?
Wait till Young Master returns and ask his opinion.
For now, I don't want to learn.
When will your Young Master return? Where'd he go?
Young Master went to the Wildland
but he'll be back soon.
Wildland?
It's a place of danger.
Young Master will return safe and sound.
What are you doing?
Huh?
Just pour the water in that vat.
I put those vegies over there to wash. Why bring them back?
Kill!
Kill! Kill!
Charge!
- Charge! - Kill!
Charge!
Go!
General, that girl's no easy foe.
Her Psychic Power is strong. But it won't last long.
Besides, my target isn't her.
Yes. Understood.
Go.
That bandit leader's sword.
A Tang sword.
I think that guy's a Cultivator.
He wants to deplete my Psychic Power before attacking.
Can you send a far-off talisman?
Sure I can.
Summon back-up fast.
Charge.
Lady Mo seeks help under attack.
I have about 100 soldiers patrolling nearby.
Great Master, how about it?
That little Miss
can send talisman messages.
Don't underestimate her skills.
A few bandits is nothing to her.
Besides,
if we blindly assist,
the whole situation may be affected.
What do you say?
But those Ink Pool Park students
were summoned by Xiling to fight Huangren.
How can I not help them, Master Qu Ni?
General Luo.
This supreme treasure is from Heaven Pillar.
It shares a great fate with you.
What you said was right.
Then it appears that, this morning, I saw nothing.
I'll leave it to you.
General. Priest Cheng Lixue is here.
- Hurry, bring him in. - Yes, sir.
Yue Lun's Qu Ni greets you.
Greetings to Master Qu Ni.
Respects to Priest Cheng.
I wonder why Priest Cheng came.
Huangren battle plans changed.
I came under Hierarch's order.
Is there is a new directive? Huh?
- Harmony. - Huh?
- Harmony? - Harmony?
Harmony.
It's Xiling Cavalry.
Ink Pool Park came on Xiling's command to Wildland.
They stood by.
Some people are more shameless than me.
Leader.
Xiling Cavalry is nearby.
- Will they attack? - Them?
I think they're here to watch.
They would've fought us if they aimed to help.
Tell the men- one last strike.
Yes.
They'll strike fast one last time.
Miss Mo, can you pull off a talisman?
I can.
Are you all scared?
- No. - No.
No.
Fight our hardest!
- Okay. - Okay!
Charge.
So it's you!
You survived that night.
No second chance this time.
Lady, are you alright?
So you're a Mind Master.
You've realised
too late!
Lady.
Lady, get up now. Lady.
You're stronger than expected
but you'll die by my hand.
Lady, your Psychic Power is low. Using it could kill you.
Lady.
Tu'er. Wildland is too cold.
Let's send you home.
I swear I'll get justice to these dead souls.
[Princess's Residence]
M-M-Mother.
How are you here?
I'm seeing if you sleep well.
You...
How'd you get in?
In Tang, is there a place I can't go?
These days, I slept poorly.
If you want to see me, come personally.
Why arrange for so many spies to watch me?
Wouldn't you say so?
Imperial Mother, I was wrong.
Remove those people you put in my palace.
If I find any, you won't know where you'll be sleeping.
Imperial Mother. Imperial Mother.
Be calm. I won't dare do it again. I'm wrong.
Remember this.
In front of great power, those tricks are nothing.
Stop acting smart.
Someone.
Did Empress come by?
Princess, she didn't come by.
