[Ever Night]
[Episode 39]
Crazy Ke evolved sword energy into Dao Symbols.
He used my prized Cage Array to seal off nascent Qi.
As if I was a monster,
he trapped me in this dark place.
I had to bear loneliness and despair.
I am resentful.
I swear in Junior Uncle's name–
Lian Sheng-32,
you can never get out of this Hall.
Your arrogance resembles Ke's.
Oppose and die.
This Academy tragedy is Ke's fate, and yours.
You can't reverse it.
You want to trap me?
Pity you're not Ke.
Your Cultivation is too weak.
You entered Knowing Destiny
but degraded to See-through to break my control.
You're indeed a talent.
How'd a mere girl like you
build an Array?
You're a rare talent.
Unexpectedly, God is kind to me.
Perhaps he pitied my 20 years of suffering in this Cage.
Today he sent me a feast.
You inherited Ke's Skills but still can't beat me.
You're not my match.
You inherited Ke's Demonic Path Qi (energy).
Yes, I'm demonic.
Aren't you scared?
You're demonic. We're even.
Demons must die.
So die!
Does God forgive anyone?
You care about God, I don't.
My time has come.
My timing is spot on.
I thought I got rid of the Cage.
Lian Sheng-32.
Every deed is pure.
Junior Uncle was righteous.
As for you, Lian Sheng-32, every deed is foul.
I thought I passed beyond the laws of the Realms.
But on return, I realise I was always
in this mountain.
Mister 13, be careful!
I can't escape.
Since I must stay here,
why should I care about good and evil, black and white.
You're still too weak.
We survived.
[Old Brush Shoppe]
Young Master.
I'm sewing clothes to give Master.
I wonder if the Wildland is cold.
In the Wildland, soak your feet daily.
Master.
Big Sister invited me to eat at her place.
I may be with her all day.
Don't wait to eat.
If it's too late to buy noodles,
eat next door.
I told Aunt Wu.
[Princess' Residence]
Kneel!
You dared act so shamefully.
Think I don't know you went to Ning Que's shop?
You really made me mad!
You forgot my teachings? You forgot Mother?
I'm really angry!
Why stare at her?
Sister.
We're siblings.
You know your identity?
You're 3rd Prince.
How many eyes watch you?
Yet you misbehaved.
- I just... - Enough.
Today, I invited Sang Sang.
Apologise to her.
If she won't forgive you, just kneel here.
I'm sorry.
Princess, don't be angry.
It's in the past.
I already forgot.
Don't punish him.
Sister, she already forgot.
It's in the past. Stop punishing me.
Today, for Sang Sang's sake,
I forgive you.
Thanks, Sister.
I'm at fault for his misdeeds.
It won't happen again.
Your Highness.
Where's Xiao Man?
It's been a while. I miss him.
I'll take you to him.
- Mm. - Tell him some stories.
In that chess game,
who won?
Of course, he did.
He's the unsurpassed Grand Priest of Light.
It's expected.
Even our proud Second Senior says so.
No-one matches him in this world.
But...
Why's he stay at Little Bro's home?
Little Bro is in the Wildland.
Sang Sang is home alone.
Why?
Serene Pavilion's escapee is Grand Priest of Light.
The prisoner hunted by many
for causing chaos is Wei Guangming.
Why...
would he turn up at Little Bro's home?
Don't eat leftovers.
I brought nice food.
Smell this. Isn't it good?
I'll heat it for you.
What did you eat at Aunt Wu's?
I forgot.
- Forgot? - It wasn't tasty.
She doesn't use salted fish.
Yesterday you put some in food. So tasty.
You don't recall what you just ate
but recall a past meal?
Such a good memory.
Forget bad memories.
That makes sense.
But Young Master
couldn't forget bad things.
Oh, finished?
You knew I was making clothes?
Try it.
Your clothes are worn.
Time for a change.
I like it.
Daughter of Light made this.
I like it very much.
This cloth shows the dirt.
- Wear it when you go out. - Yes.
So nice.
This is so nice.
If everyone lived like this, it'd be great.
A bowl of noodles, a new garment.
And someone to sew you clothes.
I'm greedy for such a good life
and forgot my intention.
What intention?
To seek the Shadow of Darkness.
What Shadow of Darkness?
King of Hades' Son.
Tomorrow, I'll go out.
Good. Staying home isn't fun.
If you get tired tomorrow,
find a teahouse to rest.
If you want food, buy it.
Don't be frugal.
But don't go too far.
If you get lost, ask.
People are nice.
Or else, find a gambling house.
And say the name of Qi Si.
Someone will bring you back.
Don't worry.
I'll find my way back.
Hey, hurry and eat.
[Tang Imperial City]
Good turnip. We can eat it tonight.
How do you want it cooked?
Whatever you cook is tasty.
[Old Brush Shoppe]
Wei Guangming is at Ning Que's home
but Ning Que's away.
It's just the little maid.
Wei Guangming.
Everyone's after you and you're here.
Why?
Why are you at my Student's home?
Mister 13.
I searched thoroughly
yet can't find Bright Book.
It looks like the Book isn't here
but left with Demon Sect Chief who's gone.
- I'll look again. - Mm.
Your wound can't be left. Get it treated
or you'll die.
This is medicine from 11th-Senior.
He didn't say what it treats.
But never mind. Try it.
Don't touch me or I'll kill you.
Still want to kill me?
You must survive to fulfil your wish.
Understand?
7th-Senior Sister gave me this hanky.
What a pity.
Previously, I saved your life.
Now you save mine.
We're even.
Mm. It sounds fair.
Deal.
You disabled Long Qing.
Xiling won't let you go.
That needs us to get out alive.
Looks like it'll scar
but you won't care.
Dao fills your heart. You won't want to marry.
Ye Hongyu.
You're the most powerful woman I've met. No exception.
This time I won't let him escape.
This time we'll succeed.
I'll go myself.
- Where is he? - There.
You two, follow him. You two, go there.
- Yes. - The rest, follow me.
Where is he?
We lost him in an East Town alley.
Guangming was surrounded, yet vanished.
Master, I'm useless.
It's not your fault.
He's Xiling's unparalleled Grandmaster of Light.
Once he uses Light,
even if you stand in front of him...
you can't see him.
Heaven's representation is ever-present, ever-shining sunlight.
It lets people see,
yet no-one can see what light is.
Master is right.
I understand.
Senior Bro.
Where are you going?
To see His Majesty.
My respects.
Master Yan Se, you're in a hurry.
What's urgent?
Wei Guangming
is at Ning Que's home.
What?
Your Majesty, this is the Array Pivot.
Array Pivot.
Please, Your Majesty,
protect it instead.
Grandmaster.
What do you mean?
Wei Guangming is my Brother.
In all Tang, the one who can take him away
is only me.
Grandmaster.
You protect Astounding God Array.
You can't take the risk.
Wait till I send troops to seize him.
Perhaps you don't believe in me?
Wei Guangming was imprisoned for 15 years.
He's still Xiling's brightest.
His skills are amazing.
Grandmaster.
You must prioritise Tang's safety.
Grand Master of Light
has no match among ordinary people.
Even if you send thousands of soldiers,
it's futile.
Wei Guangming set his sights on my Student.
I, Yan Se, will fight him to the end.
I...
will assign you Imperial Guards.
Even if they can't assist,
at least they'll scare Wei Guangming.
Well?
Wei Guangming hasn't a single soldier.
As his Junior Bro,
I shouldn't take advantage.
If you insist on sending troops,
I'll die of shame in front of him.
Please, Your Majesty, withdraw your order.
Master Yan Se.
Be careful. Take great care.
I'll await your safe return.
Of course.
Otherwise...
please pass the Eye Pivot
to my Student.
Master Yan Se.
You're the world's sole saviour.
I, on behalf of Tang Empire, am grateful.
Thank you, my Emperor.
I do this
not only for Your Majesty.
I do this for Ning Que.
He is now my Student.
I don't care about his sufferings, crimes,
experiences or misdeeds.
That's in the past.
Since he's my Student, I must care for him,
ensure his safety,
keep him from suffering.
I don't care if he's King of Hades' Son.
I don't care if there's really Ever Night.
I know only one thing–
Ning Que is my Student.
If anyone upsets him,
I'll take along a Talisman
to cast them away.
- Eunuch. - Yes.
Store this Eye Pivot safely.
Yes, Your Majesty.
He has decided.
Fu Zi, who might win?
One is a matchless Grandmaster of Light.
One is a Divine Talisman Master of great power.
They're highly capable disciples of former Xiling Hierarch.
Who will win or lose?
It's a tough question.
One is Little Bro's Teacher.
One is Master of Little Bro's maid.
Whoever wins or loses, someone will be upset.
Fu Zi, can we stop this duel?
What's coming will come.
I can't stop it.
What's the truth of Ever Night?
I want to know if human power can really defeat Ever Night.
- Are you alright? - I'm fine.
The stone door collapsed.
With our strength now, we can't make a path.
Master 13, what to do?
Shanshan.
Are you alright?
I'm fine.
I have poor vision.
I'm fine walking slowly.
Alright.
Be careful.
I'll find a route.
Madly in love.
I like him.
But he doesn't like me enough.
So you can't say we fell in love.
Shanshan, what did you say?
Say it again.
I want to hear.
If we three can't get out alive,
I'll tell you-
'I like you'.
We won't die.
I can't die here.
We must get out.
Wait...
There's a door here.
How do you know it's a door?
I'm not sure
but I sense a passage.
Only Demon Sect people would know of this passage.
Perhaps Lian Sheng transferred
knowledge to you before dying.
Master Lian Sheng had a realisation.
He left us a way out.
Probably.
Lead the way.
[Old Brush Shoppe]
Want to play chess again?
Didn't you lose enough?
Don't break the rules.
Last time you made a mistake.
Today you have an advantage.
There's hope of winning.
In the Chamber the last 15 years...
I didn't touch chess.
My skill is rusty.
What's scaring you?
I...fear you.
I serve God. It's not to scare others.
But original intent and outcome
are hard to face.
Pipi.
When I was in the Chamber,
you ran away from the Abbey
for Fu Zi's shelter.
Fu Zi took me in.
So why be scared?
Even if you weren't Fu Zi's close Disciple,
for the Abbot's sake, will I make you suffer?
They say life's like chess.
But it's less like chess (xiang qi), more like praying (qi dao).
Two palms wide apart will meet.
I'd rather be a chess piece.
Black and white never meet.
Do you know where the Abbot is?
I...I don't know.
In my Academy years,
I lost track of him.
Perhaps he's travelling.
Perhaps he likes floating on South China Sea.
Master.
See my new pot?
What?
You called him 'Master'.
What's this new pot for?
Chicken soup.
- Don't we have one? - It's too small.
On Young Master's return, it won't do three.
Right. It's not enough for three people.
You two play. I'll cook. It'll be ready soon.
Don't cook alone. I'll help.
Let's go.
Three people
includes Little Bro?
[Ever Night]
~Hey, I can only say sorry~
~You, who've forgotten time, look a bit lost~
~You seem faraway, in front of me~
~Time blinks by~
~Take it easy~
~Life is still the same~
~Hey, let me change the ending~
~Yet I can cover it up only a short while~
~Don't obsess or say sorry~
~Loser just treats winner~
~Better not meet rather than cry on parting~
~Night is long and dark~
~Don't leave regrets~
~I've seen right, wrong, gratitude, grudges, words, acts~
~I risk danger, desperate for you~
~Umbrella in old Chang'an~
~Night nears; talismans burn~
~Fight till all is gone in chaos and darkness~
~See us blaze through darkness, changing Heaven and Earth~
~Spur the horses forward~
~Geese fly south before snow~
~Get drunk at a warm coast~
~Under slashes of the sword, we love each other still~
