Lan Zhan.
How is your leg?
It's fine.
Lan Zhan.
After all we've been through together,
is there anything you can't share?
Are you sure your leg is okay?
It's fine.
Don't pretend it's fine all the time.
How about
you let me carry you?
How boring.
Hey!
Lan Zhan, you...
Such a stubborn fool.
If he keeps walking like this,
his wound will get worse.
Lady Wen, it's me.
You don't need to answer.
Just listen.
I just want to tell you something.
Thanks for your help last night.
I know you have your own troubles,
but I have another request.
Lady Wen, please.
Could you figure out some way to let Lan Zhan rest?
Halt.
We will rest here.
Go drink some water.
Wei Wuxian, what do you want again?
Nothing special.
Lan Zhan, I'll go fetch you some water.
You're so considerate of certain people.
You don't want them to get tired even for a bit.
-You think too much. -I only better be.
Wen Qing.
Don't blame me for not having warned you.
You may not think of yourself,
but you should think of your dear little brother.
Don't mess with me.
Get up and start moving, all of you!
It must be here.
You must find the cave the monster lives in before dark,
or you'll have a rough time.
Young Master.
Hey.
Who is that woman?
She's bossing us around.
Oh, her?
She was just a handmaiden of Wen Chao's principal wife.
Because of her pretty face, Wen Chao soon had an affair with her.
She's incapable, but quite bossy because of Wen Chao.
No wonder she is like a servant of the Wen Clan.
Carrying only a piece of hot iron instead of a sword.
Her spiritual power is too scarce to carry a sword.
You!
What are you doing here?
Young Master Wen ordered you to find the cave,
not to have some secret talk.
Young Master, we've searched everywhere.
We found no cave.
No cave?
You're all useless.
What a bunch of trash.
What are you going to do?
The cave!
Young Master Wen, congratulations!
Come on! Let's go!
What are you looking for? Hurry up!
Mianmian!
Are you okay?
Wen Chao, what are you doing?
What am I doing?
What are you yelling about?
Should the monster be disturbed, how will you take responsibility for that?
You brought us here,
claiming that we're going to hunt some monster.
So please tell me, what on earth is this monster？
You didn't inform us of anything
and took away our swords,
which makes us ill-equipped.
Inform you?
How many times do I have to say this before you remember it?
Don't get it wrong.
You
are nothing but my dogs.
I am the who gives commands.
I don't need you to tell me what to do.
I am the one who gives orders, the one who deploys you.
Only I can repress the monster.
What are you looking at?
Hurry the hell up!
Yes, it's here.
Go! Get down there!
It seems bottomless.
And we don't know what kind of monster is down there.
If you don't clarify the situation, how can we get down there?
Wei Ying!
Be careful.
Come here, be careful.
Are you okay?
You were kicked down too?
Shut it.
We were just worried that the monster ate you,
it might bring shame to our clan.
Setting these two aside,
you can't be afraid
that I was eaten up as well, can you?
I would rather come down to fight that monster
than see that mean couple insult us.
I understand.
Hey!
Anything unusual?
Hey!
Are you all dead already?
How can you be as silent as the dead?
What's going on?
Anyone who's still alive should respond immediately!
Or I'll make you suffer!
Listen, the echo.
We are hundreds of meters away from them.
Something's wrong.
Young Master, it's a dead end.
Impossible.
Keep searching
carefully.
-Yes. -Yes.
You guys
have somebody hung and bleeding
to lure that thing out.
Nonsense!
Luring that thing with flesh and blood
means leaving us to die!
What?
Young Master Jin, do you want to try it yourself?
To make an example for us?
-You-- -Young Master!
If I may say, how about her?
Her?
Maybe another one.
Why?
You feel reluctant
because she is pretty?
Nonsense.
What am I reluctant about?
It's your call.
Step aside!
Don't you understand the human language?
Or are you playing hero here?
Enough!
You used us as your dogs.
Now you want to use us as your bait.
It didn't occur to me that Jin Zixuan could be quite brave.
You want to rebel?
I'm warning you.
I've been putting up with you for long.
You better tie the girl up yourself here and now,
or all of you people from whatever clan won't be able to return!
It's such a shame that disciples like you are from the Jin Clan.
How disgraceful.
Judging from the situation, we might not be able to stay out of this.
Rebels.
You rebels.
Attack!
Young Master!
You dare disobey me?
You shall all be executed.
You're right.
Those who count on their clans and do evil at will
shall all be executed.
What did you say?
You want me to repeat it?
I'll repeat it, then.
Those who count on their clans and do evil at will
shall all be executed.
Not only executed but also decapitated
and reviled by the people to warn future generations.
Do you get it?
How dare you say such outrageous bullshit!
What?
Outrageous? Bullshit?
Aren't you talking about yourself?
Wen Chao.
Didn't you know who said that sentence?
That's clearly written in your clan's
The Quintessence of the Wen Clan.
That was said by
your ancestor, the great, great, great gentry
Wen Mao.
You shouldn't have called your ancestor's words
as outrageous bullshit.
Good. Beautiful!
Bravo! Excellent!
Brilliant!
Oh, right.
What's the crime of insulting the Wen Clan's gentries?
If I'm right,
it should be outright execution, right?
Right?
Very well.
You can die now.
Wei Wuxian!
Stop there!
Young Master!
Don't move,
or I'll spill some of your young master's blood.
Stop!
Wei Wuxian! Release him!
Don't move!
Listen to Young Master Wei.
Wei Wuxian.
Don't act rashly.
Everybody, put down your weapons.
Core-Melting Hand.
Don't move now!
You should be familiar with your clan leader.
Your young master is at my mercy.
If he bleeds even one drop,
everyone here, including you,
won't get away with this.
Jiang Cheng!
It's an earthquake!
No.
It's not an earthquake.
There's something beneath you!
Quiet!
Its vision is bad.
If we don't make a sound, it won't attack us.
Save me! Wen Zhuliu!
Asshole.
Let's leave!
Stop pestering us!
Be careful.
Young Master, be careful!
Look out!
What do you want?
Help!
ENERGY RESTORING PILL
Go save Jiaojiao! Now!
Jiaojiao!
Are you hurt? Jiaojiao?
Fall back!
Everyone, attack!
Hurry up!
Is everyone here?
Cut the ropes.
-Wait! -Let's go!
No!
Lan Zhan! Jiang Cheng!
Fall back! Go back to the entrance!
Quick!
Shameless bastards.
They cut all the ropes.
The Wen Clan did this?
Who else could it be?
Without our swords,
what can we do?
Stop!
Don't!
Stop that!
Stop!
Hurry it up!
You helpless trash!
Stop! They will die!
It's okay if they die.
Wen Chao.
This will make it difficult for your father to face the main clans.
Don't intimidate me with my father.
The other clans are nothing.
They are bound to be wiped out by us sooner or later.
We'll just make up an excuse when we get back.
We'll just say they had an accident in the night hunt.
Who can do anything to me?
Let's go.
We'll collect their corpses after two days.
The mean couple! How could they!
It's all right if we can't get out.
My parents will come find me.
If they hear about this,
they will definitely find this place.
They must be assuming that we are still in Qishan.
How can they find us here?
What's more, when the Wen Clan returns, they will not tell the truth.
They will make up some excuse.
We are trapped in the cave now.
So we are trapped in the cave
without food
and accompanied by a monster?
Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng. Do you want meat?
-I have cooked meat here. You want some? -Get lost!
Wasn't the hot iron enough?
Look at the situation!
I really want to stitch your mouth shut.
I'm sorry.
Mianmian, don't cry!
I'm the one who got scalded, not you.
It hurts so much.
Can you say something to soothe me?
Jiang Cheng, do something to comfort her.
I didn't make her cry.
Don't cry.
Second Young Master Lan.
Where are you going?
That monster is still guarding the black pond.
I'm going back to the pond.
There's a way out.
What way out?
Maple leaves.
Right.
There are maple leaves in the pond,
but not in the cave.
That means there is an exit at the bottom of the pond,
which connects to the water outside.
So the maple leaves were carried inside through that.
But how can we know how big the hole is?
Is it possible to get through?
What if it's small
or just a crack?
Plus, that monster is still guarding it, and it won't leave.
But we should still take action since there's a chance.
It's much better than sitting here and waiting for our parents.
We can just lure it away
if it's still there.
There is a hole! It's quite big!
How big?
It can fit five or six people at a time.
Everyone, listen up!
Follow Jiang Cheng to get through the hole!
Those who are healthy, carry the injured.
Those who can swim, carry those who can't.
Five or six people at a time. Don't rush it!
Now!
Duck!
Young Master, let's go.
Quickly!
Come here!
I'll be right behind you!
Quickly.
Stay silent.
Hurry.
Come.
Quick.
-We have to go. -Wei Wuxian!
Look out!
Let's go!
Jiang Cheng! Find somebody to rescue us!
Wei Wuxian!
-I'll be back! -Let's go!
Lan Zhan. It's fine now.
That monster seems to have been sealed in the bottom somehow.
Wait here.
Do you have a rope or something?
That's a headband you have.
You!
What is it?
At such a critical time, you shouldn't care too much.
Can it be more important than your injured leg?
Hold it.
I almost forgot about this after all that mess.
Only a little left?
This is the panacea Wen Ning gave me.
How can it be?
I deliberately saved it for...
Never mind.
It's better than nothing.
Here. Lan Zhan.
I have to find a way to force the stale blood out.
Come on. Take it off.
Take what off?
What else? Take your clothes off.
You're drenched from that pond,
don't you feel uncomfortable wearing wet clothes?
Take them off. I'll dry them for you.
Take them off!
You can't do it?
I'll help you.
Wei Ying! What are you doing?
What am I doing?
Taking your clothes off.
You don't want to take them off?
Okay.
I'll take mine off.
Okay. There.
It's much better with the stale blood gone.
Don't you feel much better now?
Thanks.
Don't mention it.
I am afraid of others' "thanks,"
especially your formal kind.
It gives me goosebumps.
Hold on.
What is it? Does it hurt?
Just hang in there.
That hurts, Lan Zhan.
You are welcome.
Lan Zhan.
You can make fun of me now.
Actually, I used to get many injuries too.
Every time I got injured,
I would swim.
Besides,
there's only a few of the grass left for blood condensation.
I think your wound needs it more.
Since you're aware of the pain, don't be rash next time.
You think I wanted to get hurt?
I had no choice.
Who knew Wang Lingjiao was such a venomous woman?
That girl Mianmian
is fairly pretty.
What if she got some permanent marks on her face
from that hot iron?
You can't get rid of the mark on your body for the rest of your life.
That's different.
It's not on my face anyway.
I'm a man.
A man should get wounded sometimes and get some scars.
What's more,
even if the mark will be with me forever,
it represents that
I once protected a girl who will never forget me
her entire life.
Just think about it.
It's quite beautiful,
right?
So you know that she'll remember you forever?
Why are you mad?
If you don't mean it, you shouldn't flirt with anyone.
I didn't flirt with you anyway.
I see...
You see what?
I see that you like Mianmian.
You are fond of her?
Why should I talk about these meaningless things with you here?
You have no choice.
It's only you and me in this crappy place. We're two unlucky guys.
If you don't want to talk to me, then who will you talk to?
Speaking of which would be better...
Lan Zhan, that was our longest conversation ever.
After all we've been through,
you still don't talk that much.
Are all the Lan Clan members...
Lan Zhan.
Are you hungry?
Have you ever experienced fasting?
If we don't eat or drink,
we should still be fine for another three to four days.
But after that, if there's still no one to help us,
I suppose
our stamina, energy, and spiritual power will be depleted then.
The distance between Gusu and Muxi Mountain
is shorter than that between Yunmeng and Muxi Mountain.
Your clan will probably arrive first.
Let's be patient.
And don't worry,
even if your clan won't come,
Jiang Cheng should get to Yunmeng in a day or two.
Jiang Cheng is smart.
The Wen Clan can't stop him.
That's not going to work.
Cloud Recesses
has been burned.
Are your people safe?
Your uncle.
Your brother.
Grand Master is badly wounded.
Xichen is missing.
What?
Zewu Jun is missing?
Are you cold?
I've dried my clothes.
I can cover you with them.
Get some sleep, and tomorrow, we...
You're finally asleep.
It must be nine in the evening now.
So the unbearable daily schedule of the Lan Clan can be of use here.
We're trapped here
because we've angered Wen Chao.
I wonder how Jiang Cheng
and Yunmeng are doing.
