The Untamed
Episode 24
- Yes, it's a good thing. - Good thing indeed.
- Yeah. - Just grant it, Leader Jiang.
Sister still seems attached to that peacock.
But their troth was broken.
Agreeing today
makes it seem Jiang Sect is seeking connections.
Leader Jin, we appreciate your good intentions.
Leader Jin, marriage is life-long.
I think you should ask my Sister,
not Jiang Cheng.
Agree, Jiang Cheng?
Wei Wuxian.
My uncle is talking to Leader Jiang.
Who are you to interrupt?
Fine.
Ask Jiang Cheng yourself.
Leader Jin.
This isn't between two sects.
When my father was alive,
he thought that.
It's just my sister's decision.
Others
shouldn't intervene.
That's right.
As for this,
we should get Lady Jiang's opinion.
Senior Sister.
My gratitude, Leader Jin,
for your kind intentions.
Jiang Sect has just had a calamity.
As a Jiang Clan daughter,
I must see the big picture
and return to Yunmeng to rebuild Lotus Pier.
This is...
This is not the time to marry.
Leader Jin.
Please excuse me.
This...
Father.
Everyone.
Such a daughter of Jiang Clan is a comfort to the departed.
It's not just Jiang Sect.
All clans suffered losses in the campaign against Wen Sect.
This is a crucial time for us to come together.
Sounds sensible.
- I agree. - He's right. - He makes sense.
Father pondered over this.
A lucky event came to mind.
I'll be bold.
On behalf of Father, I invite everyone this autumn to Golden Koi Tower.
Jin Sect will host
Mt Phoenix Crowd Night-hunt.
Mt Phoenix Crowd Night-hunt?
Few can afford to hold one.
Jin Sect is aiding sects in need.
So benevolent!
Right, right.
That's right.
So, everyone, please participate.
Thanks, Leader Jin.
Leader Jin is kind.
- To Leader Jin! - Okay. - Cheers.
- To Leader Jin! - Right.
Come.
Please.
Sister, drink.
- Good wine. - Cheers to you. - Thanks.
Father.
They all left?
Yes.
You did very well.
Thanks for working hard.
It's no problem.
Sharing Father's worries
is part of my duty.
Any leads on the Shard location?
Not yet.
I am lacking.
However...
But what?
In Nightless City,
Wen Ruohan told me
the last Shard is in Xue Yang's hands.
If I haven't recalled wrongly,
you had met Xue Yang
when you were a Nie Sect aide.
Well recalled.
But the Shard wasn't found on Xue Yang or at Chang Clan.
However...
Be pithy.
Yes.
There's another possibility.
Someone may have taken the Shard from Xue Yang.
You recall who was alone with Xue Yang?
Besides me,
only Childe Wei.
Wei Ying?
Wei Wuxian?
Wei Wuxian...
Father.
But Childe Wei was merely watching over Xue Yang.
And he's close to Childe Lan.
I doubt he'd do such a thing.
Besides,
Tiger Seal resembles but may not be related to Stygian Iron.
Where's Wei Wuxian's group?
Childe Wei and Leader Jiang just left.
Stygian Iron spirit subdues four directions.
There were four Shards.
Three of them fell into Wen's hands.
The last one that is missing likely relates to Xue Yang.
What a coincidence Xue Yang disappeared...
Wei Wuxian then turned up with Stygian Tiger Seal.
A-Yao.
You just came back.
Go to Golden Koi Tower and greet Madam Jin.
Aye.
As for Wei Ying...
Father, rest assured.
I'll have him watched.
[ Lotus Pier ]
[ Qishan Flag ]
An archer grips the bow and draws back the string.
Relax the shoulders. Slightly bend the arm.
Wait for the chance to let the arrow hit its target.
[ Sword Hall ]
[ Jingshi/Quiet Room ]
Elder brother.
According to disciples,
Light-bearer Lord, on return, went to the Library
to get many music scores—
to study day and night.
So I came to see.
Brother. I want to enter Library Forbidden Room.
What for?
To study music scores.
Lord Zewu. Light-bearer Lord.
Teacher needs you.
Let's go.
[ Elegant Room ]
Cleanse resentment?
Correct.
I wasn't there during your fierce attack on Qishan.
But I understand the horrors of that battle.
I also heard about Wei Ying.
When a group falls, its people suffer.
Now corpses lie everywhere.
It will easily beget evil.
Moreover, Wen Sect Cultivation was overly evil.
If not cleansed early,
it will cause harm.
You're right.
Uncle.
Wangji.
Don't accompany Xichen this time.
You have another task.
When Xichen fled with our books,
some got lost or damaged in his haste.
Now mending books and amending rules
has priority.
There is no order without rules.
Rules are Lan Sect foundation.
I hope you won't forget that.
Uncle.
I want to enter Forbidden Room.
You read all Library books?
Uncle.
I want to enter Forbidden Room.
Since not, no need to enter.
Wangji.
Do you know
why I am not allowing you to leave with Xichen?
Go now.
I, Jiang Cheng,
as Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan's son,
from today
officially become Jiang Sect leader.
Jiang Sect motto
is "attempt the impossible".
While I still breathe,
this motto remains.
I won't let Jiang Sect suffer again.
Sect Leader Jiang.
[ Chapter of Conduct ]
( Vanquish evil, establish rules, set a righteous path )
One!
Higher.
Two!
Three!
Use wrist not arm strength.
Four!
This weak? How can you sword-train?
Sect Leader.
Leader, Ezhou Sect sent people with an enrolment request.
Two!
Three!
Four!
I'm busy now. Go to Wei Wuxian.
S-Senior Bro...
isn't in Lotus Pier.
Again?
He went to town again?
Four!
A-Cheng.
Sister.
One!
I'm coming. Serve tea.
Don't neglect guests.
Aye.
Three!
Lotus Pier is restored.
But everything changed.
Probably he
isn't used to it.
Not used to it? Am I?
He's just too unruly at home.
He said he'd assist me. I can't see his efforts.
A-Cheng.
Four!
- One! - Use your wrist!
Hand higher!
Two!
Three!
Hey. Lord Zewu.
What a coincidence!
Well met, Childe Wei.
You've free time to visit Yumeng?
If not in a rush,
drink with me?
I forgot.
Lan Sect bans liquor.
Won't matter.
Zewu Jun, you can drink a lot!
Compared with Lan Zhan, you're vastly different.
Don't say...
you drink secretly
in Cloud Recesses like me?
Lord Zewu, I misspoke.
My Core dissipates the liquor—
this can't count as drinking.
You're indeed amazing.
But, Lord Zewu,
cleansing resentment is
Lan Zhan's forte.
Why didn't he come?
Uncle restricted him to home
to amend our sect rules.
Over 3,000 rules.
Lord Zewu.
That's a terrible task.
Isn't amending so many rules akin to imprisonment?
He won't leave in three years!
Never mind. I'm idle lately.
I'll visit him at Cloud Recesses.
In the past,
he watched me as I wrote rules.
I could watch him write rules.
That sounds like fun.
If you visit Gusu,
you can hear Wanji's new music.
It clears the mind and aids focus.
What do you mean by that?
Wangji is studying 'Lucidity'.
I wonder if you know his aim?
You purposely came to Yunmeng to persuade me?
So you came on his behalf.
Lord Zewu.
Is all Lan family fond of meddling?
Wangji is my brother.
I understand his feelings.
Whether you listen or not,
I have words to say.
Everything in life has set rules.
If only you were in the world,
you could do as you want.
But it's a pity everyone has a mouth (an opinion).
I hope you're not so self-centred
that you affect those who care about you.
If you trust me and Wangji,
we'll help you resume your swordmanship.
I trust you.
But I don't want that.
Childe Wei.
Demonism and Tiger Seal harm.
If you lose your mind—
I want to try this.
Who knows?
I may be a prodigy.
Jiang Cheng, still awake?
- Good. I have wine— - Scram.
Why do that all day long?
How many times must you clean your sword?
Where's yours? How long's it been?
It's in my room.
A monthly clean will do.
You carry no sword.
You drink in inns all day.
People may think
Lotus Pier is your drunken rest stop.
Jiang Cheng, don't be mad—
Get away!
What's wrong?
So drunk your power is lost?
Look at yourself.
Even said you'd assist me. Come...
Stay away.
What's this mean?
Want a fight?
I'm tired.
Fight tomorrow.
I'll go sleep.
Senior Sister.
A-Xian.
Come here.
You and A-Cheng quarreled again?
It's our habit.
It'll be fine in days. Don't fret.
A-Xian.
Do you...
Do you not want to be in Lotus Pier?
Senior Sister, what are you saying?
Lotus Pier is my home.
If I'm not here, where can I go?
I didn't mean that.
I just fear...
Senior Sister.
If Uncle Jiang hadn't adopted me at that time,
I'd be begging on streets.
Whatever happens,
I won't leave Lotus Pier
or you and Jiang Cheng.
Senior Sister.
I know I'm unrestrained lately.
I'll change. I won't do it again.
Don't be mad at me.
Silly!
How'd I be mad at you?
Do you
remember what happened when you were small?
I don't
but I recall what you told me.
Go away. Away, away.
Where's this beggar from?
Floral umbrellas.
Wei Ying?
Wei Ying.
Come home with Uncle, okay?
You were born with a smile on your face.
You would never hold any sadness in your heart.
In all circumstances, you stay optimistic.
Only that temperament
lets you stand A-Cheng's temper.
Senior Sister.
I don't have a good temper.
It's due to you.
If not for you,
I'd have been beaten to death by Jiang Cheng.
You...
Don't be fooled by his demeanour.
In fact,
he cares for and worries about you.
Now...our parents are gone.
In this world, the three of us are closest.
Senior Sister.
I'm hungry.
Why act like a child?
Xian Xian is three years old.
Oh right, Senior Sister.
I have a question to ask you.
Ask.
Why's one person
like another person?
I mean that kind of like.
Why suddenly ask this?
You like someone?
No, no, Senior Sister.
I have no-one I like.
At least, not like that much.
Isn't that like shackling
your own neck?
Three years is a bit old.
You're one year old.
No, three years is three years.
3-year-old Xian Xian is hungry.
Go eat the soup in the kitchen.
Could 1-year-old Xian Xian
reach the stove.
If I can't, you can lift me up.
Being frivolous again.
Hey!
How old are you, still eavesdropping? Aren't you ashamed.
I wasn't. Lotus Pier is mine.
I go where I want. You can't stop me.
Senior Sister just said
she made me Lotus Pork Soup.
- Where is it? - All eaten.
Only lotus left. Go eat it.
Chuck it up!
Chuck up? Fine, but you eat it.
Okay. Throw it up.
Alright, you two.
How old are you, bickering over pork.
I'll make more.
A-Cheng.
Is this a Sect Leader's air?
Right, do you remember telling me, when I become Sect Leader,
you'd assist me the way your dad assisted my dad.
Of course I do.
Gusu has Two Jades.
Yungmeng has Two Prides.
Don't drag me down.
When did I?
Okay, I'll make you soup.
Oh right. In a month,
it'll be Mt Phoenix Crowd Hunt.
It's the first crowd hunt since Sunshot.
Behave yourself in Lanling.
Don't make trouble for Jin Zixuan.
He's Jin Guangshan's son—
heir to Jin family,
and future Jin Sect Leader.
As a sect leader, what do I do if you two fight?
Do I help you fight him or punish you?
That Jin Guangyao showed up.
I had little contact
but he's more pleasant than that peacock.
Pleasant won't cut it.
However pleasant or smart,
he's a servant greeting guests.
He can't rise in life or compare with Jin Zixuan.
Jiang Cheng, I ask you.
What were you thinking when we were in Nevernight?
You really want Senior Sister and him...
It's not disagreeable.
Not disagreeable?
During Sunshot, do you know what he did?
Now you say "not disagreeable"?
He may regret it.
Who cares if he regrets?
If he's sorry, must I forgive him?
Besides,
look at his father
fooling around with women.
Maybe he'll imitate his dad
with women everywhere.
What about Sister?
See if he dares.
But forgiving him or not isn't up to us.
Sister likes him.
How Sister can like that peacock, I don't understand.
[ Library Pavilion ]
Strange.
I locked it this morning.
No-one.
Didn't I lock it properly?
Sizheng.
Don't tell Light-bearer Lord.
( Forbidden Room )
( Lotus Pier )
Look at that.
Slowly.
You hit me!
Ha, missed!
Slow down.
Careful!
Maybe going back to the good old days isn't so hard.
