The Untamed
Episode 12
Since you're all at Qishan,
you must follow the rules here.
First and foremost, at Indoctrination,
no-one may carry weapons without permission
to avoid disturbing Immortal Chief.
Begin now.
One by one, hand in your swords.
A Cultivator's sword stays by him. Why hand it in? I refuse!
We don't disarm at Lectures.
Why's Wen Clan so crafty? I refuse!
Who said that? Which clan?
Come out front.
Because disciples like you know nothing of obeying orders, etiquette,
and authority, you ruin the basis of our teachings.
Chief is thus indoctrinating you.
You're ignorant and bold.
If your manners aren't corrected early on,
in future
people will challenge authority
and go over Wen Sect heads!
Take their swords!
- Why nudge me? - I fear you'll mess up.
Don't worry. Though I really detest Wen Chao,
I won't bring trouble to our family.
Here. I handed it in.
Lan Zhan.
I'm handing it in...
Jin disciples stand with our swords.
If you want ours, take us down.
You dare challenge Chief?
Childe Wen, we're here to learn.
Don't go too far.
See, it's what I talked about.
Someone in this group already had ill intent.
You tell me if I'm right—
Childe Lan?
There are people planning to oppose Wen Sect.
Seems it's not only Lan Sect
but also you.
Men! Take him away!
Childe!
Childe Wen, forgive him. He abides by Jin Sect rules.
Our Childe didn't intend offence.
Childe Wen, please forgive him.
Mian Mian, don't ask for forgiveness.
Jin Sect aren't cowards.
Your looks aren't too bad. What's your name?
Childe. Wen and Jin Sects are on good terms.
When we left, Leader Jin told us
not to neglect Wen Sect precepts.
Okay.
Today for your sake,
I'll let your Childe off.
Men, take his sword.
Childe, recall what Sect Leader said on parting?
Endure a small humiliation to avoid a big disaster.
Are you handing it in or not?
Out of respect for Sect Leader Jin, I'll let you off today.
But I say to you,
if someone disobeys Wen Sect,
I'll show no mercy!
You'll all receive a book, 'Quintessence of Wen Sect'.
It's a collection of Wen ancestors' quotes and stories to teach us.
You all have to read it and memorize it.
Every morning, noon and night, I'll order one of you to recite it.
Those who can't will be punished.
Will you do it?
Hey! Of course I'll memorize it!
I'll seriously look through it.
And see how disgusting Qishan Wen Clan is.
Sis. You're back.
A-Ning, how are you these days?
I'm doing fine.
I'm just a bit bored. It's good you're back.
Oh right, Sis.
I heard Uncle Wen summoned other sects' disciples to studies.
Do you think Childe Wei came?
This is my last warning to you.
If this happens again,
Wen Ning will be the one here!
A-Ning.
We don't mix with Wei Wuxian's lot.
We can never be their friends.
Even if they come to Qishan, have no contact with them.
Why?
You needn't know. Just stay away from Wei Wuxian and his lot.
But, Sis, Childe Wei is a good guy.
He saved my life.
A-Ning.
- Sister. - Will you listen to me or not?
Who knew Wen ancestors said this!
What's it say?
Here, I'll read it out.
Those using clan authority to oppress and do evil
will be executed. Not just
killed, but beheaded.
People will revile them as a warning lesson.
So won't Qishan cut-off heads
outnumber pigs' heads?
Seems shamelessness is Wen Sect true heirloom.
That's about right.
Hey, Jiang Cheng, what's on your mind?
Nothing.
Where do you think Wen Qing might be?
She's probably in Nevernight.
Wonder if we can see her.
Wen Sect avenges petty grudges.
Not right.
If Wen Sect is so petty,
why haul only Lan Zhan to studies?
Something bad occurred!
Hey, you...
Second Childe Wen ordered no wandering at Indoctrination.
I'm looking for someone.
No contact allowed.
Are we humans or livestock?
I must find a chance tomorrow.
How's your memorising of 'Quintessence of Wen Sect'?
Is there a volunteer to recite it?
Okay. Since no-one volunteered, I'll choose.
Lan Wangji.
Wei Wuxian.
Jin Zixuan.
I am unable.
Aren't you one of...
Two Jades of Lan? Why can't you recite it?
Looks like you lack respect for Wen Sect.
Fine. Wei Wuxian, Jin Zixuan— you two can recite it.
I'm also unable.
Hey! I'll recite, I'll recite.
Wei Wuxian, better do it properly.
If you make a mistake,
I will punish you.
Wei Wuxian! Are you reciting or not?
I'll recite, I'll recite.
What's the hurry? I'll recite now. Listen well.
One: do not kill. Two: no unsanctioned fighting.
Three: no lechery.
Don't make noise. Don't go out at night. Don't rush.
Don't bully the weak or mock others.
Don't break rules.
- Bro Wei really has nerve. - Don't disrespect elders.
Don't skip class. Don't leave class early.
No unbridled laughing. No poor posture.
Shut up!
Wei Wuxian! You dare recite Lan Sect rules at Qishan?
Got a death wish?!
What? Oh, my head!
Wrong one, sorry. I'll try again.
Shut up!
Think you can mock me?
Men! Take those three to the fields.
Carry shit!
Carry shit?
Lan Zhan...
Well? My method isn't bad, right?
Lan Zhan, want me to make you one?
Lan Clan has a speech-blocking spell.
Why not a smell-blocking spell?
I'm going.
Lan Zhan, I heard Wen Xu took men to Cloud Recesses.
They believed Xue Yang's Shard was in your hands.
When they couldn't find it, did they trouble you?
Something bad occurred, right?
Lan Zhan! Talk to me, Lan Zhan.
I knew you wouldn't work hard.
I heard you mutter. Say it aloud.
Fine. I just told Lan Zhan
the smell from your fields is familiar.
I wondered where I'd smelled it.
As you arrived, I remembered.
What do you mean?
Isn't the smell from you?
Impudent!
Childe Wen, there's no second or third time with me.
Wen Chao, it's me who mocked you. Come at me if you dare!
Think your turn won't come!
Wen Chao, don't go too far.
I'm so scared.
Let him down.
Wei Wuxian. Let's talk.
You just wanted to ask Lan Wangji about the Shard, right?
He's here in Nevernight. What further question is there?
You got it right.
Wen Sect has three Shards.
It's thanks to Childe Lan beside you.
A wise man submits.
There's one more Shard out there.
If that brat, Xue Yang, didn't take it away,
you two hid it somewhere.
Wei Wuxian. Lan Wangji doesn't know where it's hidden.
But you might know.
Wen Chao, stop spouting rot.
Qishan Wen Sect never wrongly accuses anyone.
Whether you have the Shard or not,
we have a lot of time to find out.
Men, take him to the dungeon.
What? You'd go with him?
Our dungeon has plenty of room.
Childe Wen. I welcome a dungeon.
I'll see how long you stay tough.
Take him away.
A-Ning!
Sis.
Why are you here?
I...I... I...
Didn't I say to behave yourself?
Let's go.
Okay.
Hey. You even got me a suite?
This room is special.
You'll find out, once inside.
Childe Wen, nice of you.
You're scared?
Childe Wei is scared.
Wei Wuxian, tell me.
If you share its room,
can you even see tomorrow?
Open the door!
Wei Wuxian, if you survive till morning,
I'll let you go.
If you die,
blame your self-righteous, smart mouth!
Just stay inside.
Enjoy your long night with it.
Wen Chao, you villain! Open the door!
- Get back. - Where's Wei Wuxian?
It's not your concern. Don't bother me.
Stop!
You may leave.
- Where's Wei Wuxian? - Where's Wei Wuxian?
He's not back yet?
Didn't Wen Chao take him?
Lady Wen!
Lady Wen, you...
Was Wen Ruohan hard on you?
I will try my best.
Toad-poison needle?
Wen Qing?
Childe Wei! Childe Wei.
Wen Ning.
Childe Wei, your injuries...
Oh right!
I brought you medication.
This Vitality Booster can reinforce your Golden Core energy.
And this. It's blood coagulating grass.
Apply it. Don't eat it.
Leave this aside for now.
How are you and your sister?
My sister is fine. Don't worry.
But, after Wen Chao brought her back,
Uncle Wen reprimanded her.
Because of me and Lan Zhan?
I don't know what Uncle Wen told her.
After returning from Fire Hall,
she... she's acting weird.
She even told me to...told me to...
To ignore me and Lan Zhan.
Was it necessary?
She always carries burdens alone.
Brother Wen, thanks.
Childe Wei, don't thank me. They did all kinds of things.
I feel so sorry—
especially...especially for Cloud Recesses' big incident.
What happened at Cloud Recesses?
You...you don't know? Wen Xu returned from Cloud Recesses
and announced he'd cleaned up Lan house
to renew it. I heard he set fires
that burned half of Cloud Recesses.
A 100-year paradise...ruined just like that.
Lan Zhan's injury?
Because they hadn't found the third Shard...
Second Childe Lan's leg
was broken by Wen Xu.
Outrageous!
Big Bro, don't get angry. Be careful of your injuries.
Oh right. I can't stay too long or my sister will find out.
Apply the medication.
Brother Wen, my gratitude.
Take care of yourself.
This poultice should be for Lan Zhan.
Wei Wuxian, are you still alive?
How many legs do you have left?
How did my little precious do?
You won't eat the meal I left you.
Looks like I feed you too well.
Worthless thing.
Wen Chao, what sort of hero lets a beast act for you?
If you have guts, let's fight one-on-one.
Shhh.
Don't fret. Today you were lucky.
We still have plenty of time.
- Move. - Move.
Wei Wuxian?
Morning! Guys, good morning.
What went on? What did they do?
You won't get it.
These are my marks of...
my marks of honour.
What? Missed me in a day?
You wish! Your lesson wasn't enough.
No, no, no. Once in that place is enough.
Brother Nie. Do you have any food?
Like osmanthus cake or rose tarts.
I was locked up for a day with no food. I'm hungry.
Osmanthus cake? Think we're at Lan Sect Lectures?
I don't have cake, but I have a steamed bun. Eat it for now.
So good.
Second Childe Wen has arrived!
Lady Wen.
Before today's Indoctrination, I have announcements.
First. You probably all heard—
Cloud Recesses is under Qishan's control.
And secondly, Qinghe Nie Sect—
They were insubordinate,
showing a disrespectful lack of discipline.
Immortal Chief sent men to subdue them.
What about my big bro?
An ill-mannered man putting up a desperate fight can't prevail.
Next, Lanling Jin Sect—
Wen Chao, you dared!
Childe Jin, I haven't finished talking.
Lanling Jin Sect can see the bigger picture.
As long as you don't cause trouble, your parents will be safe.
Alright.
Of the Five Great Sects, only Yumeng Jiang Sect is left.
It's a pity Jiang Fengmian is timid.
He hides in Yunmeng and won't come out.
Wen Chao!
You guys better hold it in.
I can hardly wait to visit Lotus Pier and check it out.
Sis, you're back.
Sit.
Sis, at today's Indoctrination,
did you see Childe Wei and the rest?
Are they alright?
A-Ning.
Why'd you mention them again?
Have my words not sunk in?
I ask you, where'd the Vitality Booster in my room go?
You weren't in your room last night.
Where did you go?
You think I don't know?
If you won't behave,
don't go out. Just stay in your room.
Sis.
Didn't you teach me
our family motto, "repay kindness".
Childe Wei is my benefactor.
A-Ning.
In my family, only you are left.
Understand?
'Quintessence of Wen Sect'.
Qishan Wen Sect founder,
Wen Mao,
is the first person to focus on promoting his sect, not clan.
Those who use clan authority to oppress and do evil
- will be executed. - to oppress and do evil...
Stand properly!
will be executed.
Not just killed,
- but beheaded. - People will revile them as a warning lesson.
People will revile them
as a warning lesson...
Worthless.
Carry him out.
Childe.
Mt Sunset-Creek. Well?
We heard of odd events.
It's unusual. Monsters gather there. Ordinary people can't enter.
Even Cultivators are at risk.
So we suspect there's a demon.
However, men sent to hunt it barely survived.
So, I came to report to you.
- I must handle it. - Childe.
It's a creepy spot. Tell Chief?
Why be scared?
With this many human shields,
why fear no escape?
You're right.
What are you doing?
Come on.
[ Wang Lingjiao ]
Pooh! What night-hunt?
I think we came to seek death.
Our swords were taken. If we meet monsters,
what's our defence?
Stop talking!
Ignore them.
How shameless. Look at him.
He's disgracing himself.
Have you heard this saying?
Turtle and dog, heavenly match. (= bastard and bitch)
I guess it applies to them.
Where's this silly saying from?
Where is unimportant.
It applies here.
You'll do what? Help him again? Don't be reckless.
I told you Lan Sect's situation.
Look at his leg. Running around
worsened his injury. If I don't help,
his leg will be crippled.
Alright, Wei Wuxian, you helped him enough.
Piggyback him? He won't want you near.
His opinion is up to him.
What I decide to do is up to me.
Besides, if I carry him, will he choke me?
Care for ourselves, not his trivialities.
First, it isn't trivial.
Second, someone has to do this.
Lan Zhan. Is your leg okay?
It's fine.
Lan Zhan.
We faced death together. What's not to share?
Is your leg really okay?
It is fine.
Don't pretend it's fine.
How about...I piggyback you?
