The Untamed
Episode 17
This Yunmeng liquor won't do.
It's not as good as Qishan liquor.
It smells strange.
True. It smells strange like the smell from the lake.
They mean Lotus Wind Liquor.
Liquor mixed with lotus aroma has the clarity of water.
A-Xian, don't drink too much. Careful you don't fall in.
Sis, leave him be. Let him fall in.
Senior Sister, if I brew liquor with lotus leaves and seeds,
won't it be fragrant?
Wei Wuxian, quit silly thoughts.
Hurry and help.
What silly thoughts? I will even think up a name.
Call it...Lotus Wind Liquor. Isn't it elegant?
Childe Wei.
- Childe Wei. - Jiang Cheng.
How about Wen people?
Childe Wei, don't worry.
They're drugged by me. We're safe for now.
Childe Jiang is just unconscious.
But he has a few broken ribs.
And Discipline Whip marks.
Discipline Whip?
Wen Chao got Jiang Sect's Discipline Whip.
He probably has other injuries on his body.
Oh right. I brought Childe Jiang's Zidian.
Thank you.
Childe Wei, you needn't say that to me.
I got people to carry out
Leader Jiang and Madam Yu's bodies. I'll deliver them later.
We can't stay here. Let's leave.
Leave?
Jiang Cheng is injured.
Where can we go?
Childe Wei, if you trust me,
I can take you to a hiding place.
Childe Jiang badly needs medicine and rest.
He can't travel long.
- Go where? - To Yiling.
To my sister. She can treat Childe Jiang's injuries.
Thank you, Wen Ning.
Second Childe. Second Childe.
Wake up.
What's going on?
The wine was drugged.
By whom? Who dared!
Don't waste energy. This '100-Days Drunk'
results in a bad headache and limb weakness. Recovery takes days.
I bet it's that Wei Wuxian dog shit.
Right! Check if that Jiang Cheng brat is still there.
I checked. He was rescued.
What?
I set up Lotus Pier traps a fly couldn't pass.
How'd he get saved?
Could he fly or burrow underground?
Wake up all this useless trash!
I'll interrogate each one.
A-Cheng. A-Cheng, what's wrong?
A-Cheng, what happened?
Lady Jiang. He's just unconscious.
We'll treat him.
You?
Lady Jiang, don't worry. Childe Wei once saved me.
I won't be ungrateful.
A-Xian. A-Li. Leave quickly.
Don't delay longer.
A-Xian, what are you doing?
Granny.
Find a place to hide for now.
Don't stay here.
Leader and Madam are gone.
You're all leaving.
What can an old lady do by staying?
Granny.
We'll come back.
Second Childe...Wen Ning's status is above mine.
He wanted to check. How could I stop him?
So it's my fault.
No, no. It's my fault.
I'll hit myself. I'm bad, bad. It's all my fault.
Core-Melting Hand.
Second Childe.
Wen Ning, that brat, sure has guts.
Childe. This Wen Ning,
just because Chief likes Wen Qing,
dared to ruin your big plans.
Get off.
If that brat Wen Ning really saved them, it's no problem.
Wen Zhuliu, tomorrow go to Yiling.
Wen Qing is at Yiling Supervisory Office. Would Wen Ning take them there?
Wen Ning has no option.
For an event this big, he'll get Wen Qing's help.
Childe.
If you find out Wen Ning did it,
what will you do to them?
Kill them all.
Childe Wei, we've arrived.
Where is this?
We should go in. Here is too noticeable.
A-Xian, Childe Wen is right.
We should go in.
Come, this way.
Wait!
Senior Sister.
Where is this?
This is Yiling. I...I...
A-Xian, what are you doing?
Isn't this Yiling Supervisory Office?
You took over an unlucky sect's home?
By bringing us here, what's your aim?
Childe Wei, hear me out. This is the Supervisory Office
but also where my sister lives.
I... I have no ill intentions.
If I did, that night at Lotus Pier,
I could've turned you in. No need to bring you here.
Wen Sect are searching for sect survivors.
I can't let you run around freely, but at least it's safe here.
They won't search such Offices.
A-Xian, Childe Wen is right.
Don't be like this.
Apologies.
N-no need to be, Childe Wei.
Let's go in. When my sister comes,
- we can... - A-Ning.
Open the door!
Open the door! Anybody there?
Open the door now!
Anyone there? What's going on?
Open up!
Anyone there?
Open the door!
Open! What's going on?
Nothing. My brother returned.
He's ill again. You may go.
Yes, Lady.
Don't.
Sister. Dad.
Mom.
Dad.
Childe Wei.
Back at Mt Sunset-Creek...
It's in the past. No need to mention it.
Then, what about Lotus Pier?
Whoever must pay will die.
I understand.
What?
You'll kill me now?
I'll check on Jiang Cheng.
Three broken ribs.
The whip marks aren't healed
though it's not serious.
But they'll leave scars.
His energy is weak.
It will need a few days to heal.
Why's it like this?
What's wrong?
What happened to him?
Jiang Cheng. You're awake?
Do you know who I am?
Can you hear me?
Jiang Cheng, don't scare me.
Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng. Say something.
Jiang Cheng, say something!
Don't look. I'll find a way to erase them.
Okay, okay, hit me—
if it makes you feel better.
Did you feel it?
Feel what?
I meant...
Just now, I used all my power.
I'm asking you.
Did you feel it?
Then, hit me again.
Try hitting me again.
No need.
However often I hit you, it'll be the same result.
Wei Wuxian. Do you know why Core-Melting Hand is called that?
It's because his hands can melt your Golden Core.
You can never regain a Core.
Your spiritual power dissipates.
You become average forever.
Core-Melting Hand...
Core-Melting Hand.
No Core ever again. Never again!
The rest of my life, I'll be mediocre,
never to rise up!
Jiang Cheng.
Do you know?
He melted Dad and Mom's Golden Cores.
They lost power to resist and were killed by him.
Did you know?
Wen Zhuliu. Wen Zhuliu!
I have to take revenge.
I want revenge. I want revenge!
Jiang Cheng.
But how do I take revenge?
My Golden Core is gone.
I can't form a Core again. How can I take revenge?
Wei Wuxian.
Why'd you save me?
It's useless to save me.
You made me live to watch Wen Sect run rampant
while I can do nothing.
Childe Jiang.
I'll help you up.
Get lost!
I don't need your pity.
I won't see Wen Sect people. I won't see you.
Get out. Scram!
Get out! Scram!
Get out!
Get out! Get lost.
Sister.
It's missing two ingredients, Schisandra and Rush Grass.
Redo it.
Okay.
Sister. About Childe Jiang...
He won't heal.
What?
Sister, will a feud begin?
Sister, please save him.
We were already foes.
Sister, what about us?
A-Ning, remember.
Wen's Sect's doings don't represent our values.
We practise medicine to save people, not kill them.
Understand?
In a few days when Jiang Cheng is better, send them away.
Where to?
Anywhere is fine. You were at Yunmeng.
Wen Chao isn't stupid. He'll search here soon.
Sister.
Thank you.
I want to ask a favour of you.
What favour?
I want medical books.
I need all the medical books and ancient texts you can find.
Wei Wuxian, you need rest.
I need medical books.
Eat something.
Your Senior Sister made it for you.
You must eat to regain strength.
Jiang Cheng's external injuries are healing well.
The whip marks have faded.
He doesn't eat, drink, or sleep.
Your Senior Sister got me to put him to sleep with needles.
Go see your Senior Sister.
She's worried about you.
A-Cheng.
You have to get well soon.
Dad said Jiang Sect disciples
should withstand big setbacks.
Don't give up.
A-Xian and I will find a solution.
Senior Sister.
A-Xian.
Senior Sister.
Senior Sister, you're unwell.
Don't push too hard. Go rest.
A-Xian.
Come here.
A-Xian.
You're tired.
No, I'm not tired.
I must read more. Books must have a way to mend a Golden Core.
But books here are insufficient.
I wish we were at Cloud Recesses.
No. Cloud Recesses burned down.
Ancient texts are gone. Who else can help me?
Lan Zhan!
Lan Zhan will help me, Senior Sister.
A-Xian! A-Xian!
Come here.
A-Xian.
You're exhausted. You need rest.
I don't want A-Cheng to wake up only for you to faint.
Senior Sister.
Maybe it's all my fault.
What did you say?
Maybe Madam Yu was right.
Maybe I'm to blame.
Blame you for what?
My parents being killed?
Jiang Sect's massacre? Jiang Cheng's Core loss?
The situation has come to this. Blame won't help or change it.
A-Xian.
Dad and Mom are gone.
A-Cheng is ill.
We only have each other.
You're my only family left. I can't lose you.
Or I'll really be on my own.
Senior Sister.
A-Xian, you promised me...
We will return to Lotus Pier.
Have you forgotten?
Senior Sister made you this congee.
You must eat for strength.
I found a way to save Jiang Cheng.
Listen to me, Lady Wen.
No. I said no.
Reconsider. It's the only way to save Jiang Cheng.
Please consider it.
I can't do it.
If not, there's no other way.
I can't do it.
You...
Sister, what's wrong?
Do you know the consequences of doing this?
- You... - You only need help with this.
I'll handle the rest.
Sister, if it's about Childe Jiang's injury, please help him.
They've been good to me. When it's done, they can go.
Wen Chao won't find out.
You know Jiang Cheng.
He's too competitive, focusing on gain and loss. Cultivation is his life.
If he can be no more than an average person,
his life is over.
What about you?
Sister.
I give you a 'one in two' chance.
Half is fine. Half-half.
