[Ever Night]
[Episode 40]
[Old Brush Shoppe]
Sang Sang.
Know who he is?
- An old tramp. - He's not.
He's Grandmaster of Light.
Grandmaster of Light.
How's he grand?
Pipi. Come and help.
Mm.
Grandmaster of Light,
you came to the capital.
Why's that?
Did you
really want Ning Que's maid as your Student?
Ning Que?
Grandmaster of Light.
This maid's Young Master
is Academy Mister 13,
Fu Zi's Disciple.
Sang Sang. I'm leaving.
The Shadow of Darkness left.
So I must leave.
Will you go with me?
I must wait at home for Young Master's return.
Who dares to take someone away from Old Brush Shoppe?
It's been years since seeing each other.
Senior Bro, you still look nauseating.
I don't want to see you either.
Think I want to see your old face?
Still, some things are fated.
What say you, Senior?
You came to play with me?
This way, Junior Bro.
Why stand like a pillar?
Who left chess this way?
How are you lately?
If you mean recently, I'm fine.
Leisure is good.
Once you're done, just go back.
I thought you understood me.
I'm a very old man.
If I don't do things soon, I fear it'll be too late.
You know you're old.
So why be stubborn? Be like me.
Be clever and live leisurely.
I say, have you been to Red Sleeves Club?
He hasn't.
Then this isn't leisure at all.
My eyes sometimes see far away.
Retract a go. Retract.
I was thinking of Red Sleeves.
- You, you... - Still shameless.
It isn't. Right a wrong. How can you stay wrong?
Life's like chess; wrong is wrong. No retraction.
You can. Quit being stubborn. Let go.
Cultivation's final outcome is of the heart.
You and I are old men.
It can't be changed.
Master, the chess board and pieces
cost five taels, 3 coppers, one penny.
If you can't move, no go. You made a mess of it.
You must pay.
Hold on. What did you call him?
She calls me "Master". She's my Student.
Xiling's Hall of Light
will be great in the future.
So...
Your Student, Sang Sang,
is my Student's little maid.
So that's it.
I'd like to see Sang Sang's often-mentioned Young Master.
You must be very proud.
Fu Zi's Disciple is your successor too.
For sure.
Oh my.
Sang Sang, hear it?
Mm?
Young Master's Teacher's tummy is growling.
Make me some food.
I'll cook everyone fried egg noodles.
I'll help her.
So that's it.
Senior Bro, don't be formal.
Let's wait for food.
Master, is it tasty?
I want some tea too.
Master Yan Se, please.
Indeed, a good Student.
I'm nothing next to her.
Since you have a good Student,
you should let go your stubbornness.
You and I will join God.
Aren't extra moments of life's joys and sorrows a good thing.
Grandmaster of Light's mission is to stop darkness.
I saw Hades' Son. I must find him.
Still talking of Hades' Son?
All those years locked up,
you didn't self-reflect nor have remorse?
I believe in God's revelation to me.
My eyes saw him.
The Son of Hades is in Tang Empire.
I think you have eye disease.
Someday let me introduce you to Doctor Liu,
an expert in eye disease.
Junior Bro. I don't like your joke.
It's because you're a big joke.
Your eyes deceived you.
You keep wanting to find Son of Hades.
Where is he?
You found him here?
Who else will you kill?
I tell you,
you're Son of Hades.
15 years ago, to your victims,
you were Son of Hades.
For a false accusation,
you killed innocents.
To them, you were Son of Hades and more terrible.
With the excuse of Light,
you had innocents slaughtered.
I did it to protect the world.
For Eternal Light to exist.
Those people you killed were the world.
They had bright hearts too.
They worked in daylight, rested at sunset,
thanked Hao Tian for the land nurturing them.
They'd never heard of Hades' Son.
They should simply have lived.
Senior Bro.
You're unrealistic.
The Underworld is a myth, never seen.
Years ago, you caused chaos in the capital.
You found Hades' Son?
After so many years, you're still ridiculous.
It's rather late.
I know.
It is late.
Tomorrow
we must find a good place.
Find a good place.
Tomorrow
find a good place.
[Old Brush Shoppe]
Goodbye.
You can't go.
Young Master's Teacher is powerful.
I've seen so.
You fear I might lose?
How about coming with me tomorrow?
Master.
Can we not go?
You and Master Yan Se are good men.
I don't want you two harmed.
Sometimes good and bad can't be discerned.
Everything is fated.
~the setting sun is waiting for me~
~its golden glow reflects in my heart~
~pick a peach blossom~
~drink unfiltered wine~
~wandering the world is pleasurable~
~sunset is over~
~the years are dappled~
~Time leans at the door~
~Destiny is hard to tell~
~it can't be pinned down~
~who can tell when you'll fall into dust?~
~people come and go; much happiness and sadness~
~with happiness as company, why worry?~
~lonely spring and autumn; will rain and wind stop?~
~stay with me to see time passing~
2nd-Senior Bro.
Did they fight?
The two of them argued.
After over a decade,
Grandmaster still seeks the capital's Shadow of Darkness.
Even if the whole world
thinks he's wrong,
he still insists on his ideas.
This is quite the virtue of a gentleman.
However,
now it's a stalemate.
Grandmaster of Light is in the capital.
The Court won't let him go easily.
If it comes to a fight,
the people will suffer.
So...
Grandmaster and Master Yan Se
have decided to battle tomorrow.
It seems that
only the two of them can settle the matter.
It resolves everything.
2nd-Senior Bro.
Do you think tomorrow Master Yan Se will use
Astounding God Array?
If a Cultivator
breaks the limits of his own powerful skills,
he can see different things.
Astounding God could make Master Yan Se
become an almighty being.
However, in a battle like this,
both of them will use no force but their own power.
Both of them.
One is Xiling's greatest Grandmaster of Light.
One is the greatest Divine Talisman Master.
2nd-Senior Bro.
Then it must be an earth-shaking duel?
Perhaps
it will be quiet and splendid.
It's that simple?
It's that simple.
This battle will be a lesson for you and me.
That is to say,
for the two Elders,
it's a last goodbye.
2nd-Senior Bro.
What's that mean?
Wait for tomorrow to find out.
2nd Senior, wait.
Young Master.
Your Teacher and my Master
may be going to fight.
Your Teacher claimed my Master
killed innocent people.
But he's a good man.
I heard them talk about
the Son of Hades.
What's the Son of Hades?
So many things happened lately.
I don't understand it all.
Young Master.
Can you come back quickly?
"Mm. I can."
[Heaven Dao South Gate Temple]
Senior Brother.
We two came to the capital how many years ago?
35 years.
Remember as we left Xiling, we said what we wanted–
To drink wine in Gushan;
to fish in South Sea;
to play chess at Mount Wa.
Then 35 years ago...
Dao South Gate Temple is where we arrived.
White hair has grown.
Wrinkles have formed.
We never stepped out of the capital.
Whenever I invited you, you prioritised Tang
and declined.
It's my fault.
It won't happen again.
Senior Bro.
Please.
Junior Bro.
I'm leaving.
Take good care.
Okay.
Senior Bro.
When you return,
shall we go to Gushan county
to taste the wine?
Okay.
Promise.
2nd-Senior Bro.
Why'd you come?
It's been a while.
I came to see you.
Sang Sang.
Where's your Master?
Senior Bro, morning.
Senior Bro.
Morning!
Junior Bro, morning.
Sang Sang.
Want to go see?
Sang Sang is the best witness.
Sang Sang.
Bring your new pot.
It hasn't been used for chicken soup. It's not greasy.
I like clean things.
Bring your old pot too.
You and Dewdrop made a lot of money
from my copies.
I still haven't tried your chicken soup.
As long as you stay,
I'll make you both chicken soup at once.
No need, no need.
Maybe another day.
The old pot is greasy.
It doesn't matter.
In my life,
my clothes are always grease stained.
Talking of Dewdrop,
I really want to see her.
- Pipi, close my door. - Yes.
Sang Sang, must you go?
I must go.
Senior Bro, I wonder if
the new pot will be filled
or the old pot will be heavier.
It depends on Hao Tian.
Filling up both won't be bad.
Yes.
Place both pots together as neighbours.
What if they're full.
Then Son of Hades...
Senior Bro, we have Students.
Why still care about that.
Leave it to them.
We can't let our Students be free and easy.
Senior Bro.
Without that event 15 years ago,
you'd have crossed five Realms into God-Breath.
I was seemingly close
yet fell short.
So close
but fell short.
It proves Hao Tian believed you did wrong.
So the blessing was withheld.
I believe in Light.
Perhaps this is the lesson before the blessing.
Look.
How come they're talking?
I don't understand.
Wei Guangming and Master Yan Se
are at peak Knowing Destiny.
They've crossed five Realms.
At their level, of course you won't comprehend.
Then, is Sang Sang being closeby a problem?
I worried about that too, so I came.
So your worry for Sang Sang
brought you to watch.
Heaven's light rises soon.
This is the most beautiful moment.
Without darkness,
light won't be wonderful.
Keep it safe.
You call me your Master.
I should've given this to you earlier.
Sang Sang.
Are you ready?
It's beginning.
Who first?
Of course, you, Senior Bro.
You're Junior. You first.
How about
rock-paper-scissors?
Okay.
Rock.
You scoundrel. Didn't we have a deal?
Yes. I said 'rock'.
Senior Bro.
You first.
2nd Senior, now what's happening?
Has the duel started? Will Sang Sang be okay?
Or how to tell Little Bro?
Shut up. Watch properly.
Sang Sang.
Tell my Student, Ning Que,
if he faces such tricks, don't be scared.
Yes, Master Yan Se.
Wow! What a beautiful rainbow.
Sang Sang.
If you face such tricks in future,
just wave your sleeve.
That'll do.
Remember, Sang Sang.
Two horizontal lines,
two vertical lines,
form "The Well".
Sang Sang.
Tell Ning Que every word I said.
Sang Sang, watch carefully.
Light...
Merciful but indifferent.
Gentle but powerful.
It lights up the world.
It's everywhere!
I see it, Master.
You see it?
I understand.
I see a new Divine Talisman
coming from North Wildland.
One stroke falls in the West.
One stroke falls in the East.
They'll meet here.
I see a ray of light-
from ancient time to today; no beginning or end.
Boundless.
Sang Sang.

~Hey, I can only say sorry~
~You, who've forgotten time, look a bit lost~
