The Untamed
Episode 28
You're unrealistic again! Is he even human?
How's he differ from puppets we killed?
Wei Wuxian.
Was it you who...
Jiang Cheng.
You too think I took that Shard?
Even if he's not a puppet, what distinguishes him from one?
You want to wake his conscience. That's near impossible.
Yes. I realized it's too hard.
But I boasted of it to his sister.
Now they all believe I can save him.
That's why I have to succeed.
Or my reputation is tainted.
What are you doing?
Me? I'll ask you the same.
Wei Wuxian, you're so cocky lately.
What are you two doing?
Wen Qing, please go out.
Don't worry. I'm here.
Wei Wuxian, because of you, I've no choice.
These days, sects at Golden Koi Tower pressure me.
They held me to account so I had to come here.
What account? The sides are even.
Those overseers killed Wen Ning. He killed them.
A life for a life, a tooth for a tooth.
Call it an end.
They think Wen Ning died.
Call it an end? How can it be?
Do you know how many eyes watch you and your Seal!
You won't be in the right even if you are.
You said it. I won't be in the right even if I am.
Except for confining myself here, what way do I have?
A way? Sure there is.
The only way is to end this
before they take action.
What do you want?
Come back with me. Turn in these people.
You're joking. Turn in Wen Qing and the others?
That can only end in their deaths.
- At this stage, you care about their end? - Jiang Cheng!
Listen to yourself.
Take it back. Don't make me thrash you.
Don't forget. Who gave us back Uncle Jiang and Madam Yu's bodies?
Who returned us the ashes now in Lotus Pier?
When we were hunted by Wen Chao, who took us in?
Wei Wuxian! I should thrash you.
Yes, they saved us before.
But why don't you see
any Wen dregs are scorned?
Any Wen is an evil criminal.
Those who protect them are condemned.
Wens are hated. The worse they die, the better.
Whoever protects them is against the world. No-one will speak for them.
No-one will speak for you!
I need no-one to speak for me.
Why are you so stubborn? If you can't do it,
move aside. I'll do it!
Wei Wuxian, don't you see?
In the great sects' eyes,
you're a strange genius, a wondrous hero,
the only one of your kind.
But the second your voice differs from theirs,
you've lost your mind,
ignored morality, and walked a crooked path.
You think you're immune
outside the world, doing as you want?
There's no precedent.
If there's no precedent, I'll make it happen.
Wei Wuxian, you still don't see the situation at hand?
Do you need me to clarify?
If you keep protecting them,
I can't protect you.
Can't protect me? Cut me off.
Cut ties. Tell the world...I defected.
I, Wei Wuxian, from now on in whatever I do...
it's nothing to do with Jiang Sect.
Wei Wuxian, tell me—
Why on earth are you doing this?
Jiang Cheng, I tell you honestly.
If it wasn't Wen Qing and Wen Ning, but someone else,
I'd do the same thing.
Wei Wuxian, you have a saviour complex?
If you don't stir up trouble, will you die?
My mom was right.
You brought trouble to our sect.
"To attempt the impossible".
You understand Jiang Sect's motto better than I do,
better than we all do.
Let's set a duel.
A-Yuan. Enough, stop eating.
Granny, I want to eat. I'm hungry.
A-Yuan, be good.
At dawn, I'll take you to pick fruit.
I'm hungry.
Here. A-Yuan, for you.
Lady Qing, are you unwell today?
You ate nothing. Keep it for yourself.
I don't want it. A-Yuan is little.
Right. A-Yuan should eat more.
This is also for A-Yuan.
Okay. Big Bro gave this.
Uncle Four.
Share these with everyone.
Okay.
Here.
Once this barren land grows crops,
we needn't rely on fish and fruit.
So, A-Yuan can eat well.
True. I didn't think this land would grow crops.
We'll buy seeds down mountain.
Down mountain? Can we go down?
Wait a bit longer, I would say.
Granny said it's sweet. You eat it.
I wonder why today's fruit is very sweet.
Want a taste?
Young as A-Yuan is, he eats a lot.
He ate a lot of today's fruit.
It's the last one.
Really won't eat it?
Alright.
Wei Wuxian.
You should go.
Go? Where to?
To where you came from.
The situation is fine.
If A-Ning is by my side, I am content.
Don't bother about him.
Whether his mind awakens
is up to him.
Things have settled down.
I'll take care of the rest.
You're a Jiang Sect person.
Unlike us. Wei Wuxian.
You should leave.
You—
What? You won't eat it.
Wei Wuxian!
What's up?
I won't eat it. Is that okay?
For you.
- Die eating! - Wen Qing.
I said before I'll bring Wen Ning back to normal.
I will accomplish it.
If you came to persuade me, don't even start.
Childe Jiang, this comb—
I can't keep it.
At that time, why didn't you take it
to Lanling to find me?
At the time, if I'd met you first in Lanling,
would you have taken me to rescue A-Ning?
A-Ning.
We encountered Wei Wuxian.
Is it good fortune
or misfortune?
Sister.
- It hurts. - A-Ning.
Sis, it...
- hurts. - A-Ning!
- A-Ning. - Sis.
Don't be afraid. Sis is here.
- Sis is here, A-Ning! - Hurts!
A-Ning, don't be afraid.
A-Ning! A-Ning!
Big Sis!
- A-Ning, don't be afraid! Don't fear. - Hurts!
A-Ning!
Jiang Cheng, damn it!
You needn't be so vicious.
Leader!
Pass my words to all sects.
Wei Wuxian defected
and opposes all sects.
Yunmeng Jiang Sect expels him.
Leader, did Senior Bro really—
From now on, Wei Wuxian and Jiang Sect
sever all ties!
A-Xian.
A-Xian!
A-Xian, where are you going?
A-Xian, over here!
A-Xian! Xian Xian!
A-Xian!
A-Cheng.
A-Cheng! See A-Xian! He went past. Get him back. A-Cheng.
A-Xian! A-Xian, come back!
A-Xian!
Lady Jiang!
Lady Jiang? Lady Jiang, are you there?
Lady Jiang?
Lady Jiang, are you there?
I'm here. What is it?
Madam Jin wants you to come.
Is my bro, Jiang Cheng, back?
Leader Jiang isn't at Lanling.
I see. Please tell Madam Jin I'll dress and come.
Yes.
Good, you're here. I got potatoes.
We can plant them tomorrow.
Don't look at me like that. I already bought them.
Give up on planting radishes.
Oh right, I bought meat. You can cook it now for everyone.
What's this? No man-woman touch.
Your doing this scared me.
Alright, alright. I know you want to treat my injury.
But I'm really fine.
See.
If you don't cook,
I may be in a bad state.
I may starve.
Where are you going?
I'll swap these for radishes.
Didn't I say to let no-one in?
Childe Jin.
You should come out.
Okay.
I didn't mean to intrude. Sorry.
Madam Jin called me over.
Yes. It's fine.
I want to be at Lotus Pier.
Childe Jin, excuse me.
Lady Jiang! I know this isn't Lotus Pier.
But I.. I'll build you another Lotus Pier.
Lady Jiang.
Zixuan.
[ One Month Later ]
In my opinion,
that Yiling Patriarch is a scourge!
Who'd disagree?
I tell you, my neighbour's eldest aunt's ancestral grave
was recently dug up.
I bet he did it.
Hear that.
I tell you, I heard he uses corpses to make puppets.
That's scary!
At Qiongqi Path,
he made a person into a puppet
that killed many people.
That puppet was Wen Sect dregs.
From that day, people called him Ghost General.
After Qiongqi Path,
no-one knows where Ghost General went.
Where else? Must be with Yiling Patriarch doing evil.
You all only know half of it.
Yiling Patriarch's scariest deed
isn't making puppets.
His evil tricks
make one's hair stand on end.
I tell you.
He dug up corpses
to use bones to lure evil for demonic power.
If Jiang Sect hadn't adopted him,
Wei Ying would be so-so, wandering the streets.
He betrayed his sect and hurt young Leader Jiang.
Such an ingrate deserves punishment by death.
That's right.
He deserves death.
- Yes. - Right. - Deserves to die.
Weird. Who's that?
Why stare like I owe him money?
Hey, boss, they've all sprouted.
What do you want?
A cheaper price.
No haggling. Pick unsprouted.
Each is sprouted.
You have no fresh ones. Look.
It's your bad luck.
Really no discount?
No discount.
No discount, fine. I won't buy.
Each is sprouted. It may poison the eater.
Right, A-Yuan?
A-Yuan?
A-Yuan!
- What happened? - What's this kid doing?
What's wrong?
Such a little kid crying badly.
He got scolded by his dad?
I am not.
Listen up.
Look, it's his dad. Must be.
See their noses. Spitting image.
You all agree?
- Agree. - This man is cold.
See how he's crying. Did his dad scold him?
Doesn't know to hug him.
Just lets him cry. What kind of dad are you?
So young.
You're a first time dad?
Way back, I was like this, knowing nothing.
My wife had more kids, then I figured it out.
Gotta learn to raise a kid.
Kid, where's Mom?
Kid, don't cry.
- Where's his mom? - This dad doesn't care.
Where'd his mother go?
Lan Zhan!
- Who's this? - Don't know.
Go, go, go...
Do as you were doing. Go, go.
Go away.
Come try.
Lan Zhan, what a coincidence. Why are you in Yiling?
Night-hunt. Passing by.
This kid...
This kid...is mine.
Oh right, Lan Zhan. What did you do?
How'd you make him cry?
I did nothing.
I figured it out.
Lan Zhan, pretty as you look,
you have a grim expression.
A kid can't tell what's beauty.
So at your unfriendly gaze,
of course he'd snivel.
Lan Zhan, look.
See, toys for sale.
A-Yuan.
Toys for sale.
- Come, see. - A-Yuan.
- Kiddo. - See.
- Looks nice? - Nice. - Nice!
Let's go.
- Look. Like it? - Like it.
You really like it?
Boss.
Let's go.
Wei Ying. Why not buy it for him?
Why should I?
You asked if he liked it, so buy it.
Asking is asking. Buying is buying. Is asking buying?
Which...do you want?
Come see.
Which here do you want?
Come see. Toys, look.
Popular.
Come see.
Customer, what will you buy?
Lan Zhan, congrats!
He likes you. He'll hug your leg
and never let go.
Why not delay night-hunting?
Let's eat together.
Eat?
Don't be cold.
You finally came to Yiling and I ran into you.
Let's catch up.
Let's go. My treat.
Cloud Recesses bans liquor but said nothing about this.
Tastes as good as Emperor's Smile.
Here, for you.
