[Ever Night]
[Episode 37]
Look.
It's a beautiful green place.
Maybe Demon Sect Mountain Gate is hidden in this valley.
Is it so easy to find?
The easier it looks, the harder it is.
If it was easy, Xiling would've found it long ago.
This shows Demon Sect is too poor.
The mountain has nothing valuable.
You can joke.
I think Ye Hongyu came to seek Heaven Book.
Prince Long Qing also.
Unimaginable coincidence.
Timely chance.
We meet again.
Cultivation is for two, you and me.
Looks like you lost weight. Men shouldn't be too thin.
Chubbiness is healthier.
You're early.
It's days until the Gate opens.
You mean you know when the Gate opens?
I don't know.
Since we're both early, maybe we've time for other pursuits.
Such as playing zither, chess, or babbling?
I tell you, now I'm good at those.
But if you say you want to fight, forget it.
I can't beat you.
A noble prince bullies a commoner?
Would you bother?
I'm a prince, but you're no commoner.
Do you only know how to hide behind women?
Don't try provocation.
It's who I am. What can you do?
Can you hide behind a woman forever?
I'll hide behind a woman forever!
What can you do?
You can hide behind Bookworm all your life.
But the problem is
her ability to protect you.
Also, is she willing to let you hide behind her?
Our Shanshan will, of course.
So shameless.
Some people fated to meet will be lifetime foes.
That fate isn't my preference.
To excuse Bookworm from trouble,
why don't we two bet on breaking a Realm first?
If Fu Zi knew his student gambled, how do I explain?
- Unwilling or don't dare? - Unwilling!
Why give you a chance?
I tell you, if we're really lifetime foes,
I won't give you benefit. I refuse.
I'm still longing for your little maid.
If you agree, I'll swap three Yan towns for her.
A drinking companion at night would be nice.
My maid isn't worth money.
But if you gave me an empire,
I won't swap.
Not even for an empire.
Seems Sang Sang is very important to you.
Fine. As you say.
Breaking a Realm.
The first to break through wins.
Loser abandons Qihai Xueshan.
If I lose, I leave the Academy.
If you lose, you leave Xiling.
Don't, don't!
By abandoning Qihai Xueshan, a Cultivator is useless.
By leaving the Academy, you'll lose everything.
Dare you?
In God's name.
In Fu Zi's honour.
Next time we meet, I hope you're okay.
I hope you're alive.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Are you hurt?
I'm fine.
- Quickly find a place to break the Realm. - Let's go.
That umbrella is so magical.
It looks normal, but it's a magical Big Umbrella.
You...really have faith to defeat Long Qing?
If you lose?
If I don't break the Realm,
think Long Qing will let me live?
My Teacher said, "If you can't win, run; don't die."
Your Teacher taught that?
Mm.
Great.
I'll heed Teacher, even if he isn't here.
Right.
But, no matter what, it seems you'll lose your bet.
People can't always win. Losing is normal.
My Teacher said it.
You're worried I'll lose Qihai Xueshan, and Sang Sang?
Am I a fool? Would I ruin myself with an unfair bet?
I tell you, people who truly fulfil a bet are idiots.
But...but you bet in Fu Zi's honour.
You'll break your word?
You think that'd be easy?
Long Qing isn't ordinary.
This time, I'm serious.
Why look at me this way?
You think I'm a rascal?
You're quite like one.
Lady Mo, I know you're not good at lying.
But don't speak inconsiderately.
Sorry.
I know you think I won't win even if I'm serious.
Honestly, though you fight well, Long Qing is ahead to break through.
It's impossible.
That's being too truthful.
Sorry.
It's fine. Bookworm tells the truth.
Very good.
Seems we must spend the night here.
[Old Brush Shoppe]
Young Master, on your return, this bacon can be eaten.
Smells so good, it won't last till he's back.
Big genius, why are you here?
I'll ask you that!
The door was wide open... when I came in.
Is this how you watch Young Master's shop?
A man was watching the shop, but he went to the market.
Just now, from afar, I could smell...
smell bacon.
Cut a slice for big genius to taste?
I see you're not big genius but a big thief.
Can't I get a bacon slice from you?
You took my Divine Pill.
Your Pill was this small.
My bacon is this big.
My Divine Pill this small saved your Young Master's life.
You make sense.
- Then...cut me a slice? - No! - Fine.
In fact, I'm not unwilling to give you bacon.
Just, if I give you bacon,
I need to offer two side dishes.
With meat and side dishes,
you may need rice.
- After rice, drink soup. - Good, good.
So, it's more than a bacon slice.
Sang Sang, you're calculating.
I see you should slim down.
My belly isn't plump. It's...
It's wisdom.
No wonder Young Master is your friend.
How so?
You both self-praise.
He praises me, saying I'm smart, tubby not overweight.
He deeply admires my wisdom.
Ah, he often listens to me talk without being bored. Hm.
Young Master praised me
as smartest, with a superb memory.
No-one compares.
No-one compares?
Then this genius wants to compare with you.
Let's bet that meat. This.
No.
Fine then.
How about silver?
- Wh-what are you doing? - Bet silver. Go.
Deal?
Lady Mo, Lady Mo.
What?
A lake.
[Great Light Lake]
Sect Chief!
Is the Demon Sect Gate nearby?
Be careful.
Long Qing said we're early.
The Gate can't open. It's been Sealed by someone.
Just now, that phenomenon was the Seal emission.
What should we do?
Wait.
- Cloth for sale, cloth. - Vegetables.
Come and see, greens and cabbage.
Take care.
How about 100 taels?
What to bet?
Your call.
Bank notes?
Bet with what? Bank notes?
You know your Young Master. Your home has cash?
Ning Que won't even treat me to crab porridge.
Yet you say bank notes? Don't cry when you lose.
I won't cry.
Master 12, follow me.
What are you going to do so secretively?
Every bank note has a unique code.
No-one would bother to memorise it.
Really not bad.
To prevent counterfeiting, bank notes are uniquely coded.
This unique code is random and hard to memorise.
Good idea for a bet.
Why's your stairway so high?
Ah! Mister 12, sit there.
I can't show you where we keep money.
I... Who cares!
Let's memorise, then recite.
Mister 12, oh, big genius, choose.
Then I'll choose.
This one.
Tong, bao, lai, 2, 8, 8, 9, 4...
Sheng, yi, gen, er, feng, li, 4, 5, 5...
Yi, mo, xin, bao, yin, sai, 9, 7, 5...
2, 4, 5, 6, 7, yan, tang, 1.
Impossible.
I don't believe it. Once more.
Try again.
Wait. We'll start together.
Mm.
3, 2, 1.
Start.
Na, tian, xing, yun, feng, 4, 5, 5, 7.
Impossible, impossible, impossible!
No-one has such an extraordinary memory.
Even Big Bro and 2nd Bro can't do it.
Na, shi, feng, qi, yun, ding, yu, fei, liao, ren, 7, 8, 10...
St-st-stop. Enough, don't.
I admit your memory is strongest, okay?
Thanks.
What?
Big Sage, reneging on your bet?
Wait!
You memorised it in advance?
Hey!
I knew it.
Like Master, like Maid.
Both shameless.
I've never seen anyone memorise bank notes.
Really like him.
I earned this cash.
But you played tricks and cheated.
You said to bet.
You scorn Young Master's Cultivation.
He can't beat you.
I must beat you.
Rematch. I'm unconvinced.
I'm convinced.
You are. You won 100 taels.
Another round.
Hey, another bet.
Bet on chess.
Hey!
100 taels per round.
You said it.
Murder! Murder! Hurry, come!
Lady Mo, are you hungry?
I'm fine.
This Mountain Gate isn't easy to enter.
We can't do it hungry.
We must save energy.
What's saved energy for?
I don't know.
Just, before a big task, we should fill our stomachs.
Aren't you hungry? If you're empty, why belch?
Why can't I belch?
An 'empty' belch.
It'd be great now to eat Sang Sang's sour spicy noodles.
I was given this by Tubby.
"Tubby"?
Mm, 12th-Senior Bro.
You mean Chen Pipi?
You know of him?
Sure! He's No.1 genius.
Who doesn't know of him!
Tubby really is famous.
What's this thing? It's tough, sour and smelly!
What dark stuff did Tubby inflict on me?
That's melodious!
It's melodious but inedible.
What is it?
This plaything is from Rear Mountain 9th-Senior Bro.
What's he playing at?
I... May I see it?
Teacher, why didn't you teach me to manifest food?
This is so pleasant!
Pleasant is no use.
It's inedible.
I like it.
Then I'll give it to you.
Really?
Thank you.
You found Wei Guangming?
Your Majesty, Secret Guards I sent all failed.
He must be found!
I won't allow that man to roam in Tang Empire.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Preceptor and I cast a foolproof net to capture Wei Guangming.
Wei Guangming.
How's Long Qing doing.
He's busy competing.
Mister 13, hurry and break the Realm.
Ah, on an empty stomach, I can break nothing.
But a pot of boiling water won't fill you.
How to eat this ugly bun?
Can't bite it.
Tubby wants me dead.
S...sour spicy noodle soup?
This...what's this?
It's sour spicy noodle soup!
To know Heaven's Destiny is to know the world's origin.
Grasp nascent Qi and life's rules.
Knowing Destiny is a thread's width away.
There are no mental obstacles to stop me.
As soon as all peach flowers bloom fully, I'll break the Realm.
I'll guard you.
Thank you.
A 'full' belch.
Such lovely scenery!
Such tasty food!
And a Beauty.
I'd stay here forever, uncaring about Realm breaking.
What are you thinking? Hurry, finish the soup.
You must break the Realm. I'll guard you.
A strong Psychic Power blends with Great Light Lake's Qi.
Great Light Lake.
The Gate entrance is Great Light Lake?
All the traces between sky and earth...are Symbols.
Mister 13, finish the soup. You must break the Realm.
Sang Sang, it'd be great if you were here.
Young Master!
Sang Sang.
Young Master!
Sang Sang.
Mister 13, congrats on breaking the Realm.
He did it.
I just saw Sang Sang.
Sang Sang?
Sang Sang.
He's a nobody. No loss killing him.
Focus your mind, no distractions.
Long Qing is one step from breaking the Realm.
One step is incomplete. I beat him.
Bright Book is ours.
Mister 13, you should run.
If Long Qing enters Knowing Destiny, he won't let you leave.
Right. How can he abandon Xiling and his Qihai Xueshan.
Focus your mind.
Alright, let's hurry.
This is bad!
Long Qing is so vicious.
I broke the Realm to die? What to do?
Yuan-13 Arrows can save your life in peril.
Sang Sang and I strove to survive.
I can't simply die in vain.
Mister 13, don't mind me! Run!
No way!
His arrow ruined your Qihai Xueshan.
A Cultivator must focus his mind when breaking a Realm.
You survived, but you can't Cultivate anymore.
Impossible.
Impossible!
I was about to enter Knowing Destiny...
As a Xiling person dedicated to God,
your destroyed Qihai Xueshan means you'll live like a dog.
You deserve such disgrace.
At a key point, you sneak-attacked your foe.
You defeated yourself.
Why'd this happen to me?
I'm a child of Xiling.
I'm the Child of Light.
I should be matchless.
No, no!
Why put it there?
Why can't I?
- It's against rules. - Whose rules?
Of course, God's rules.
Why retrieve it?
You can't. Put it back! It's against rules.
You're smart, and your memory is strong.
If you master the rules and use your brain a bit,
you can discover the problem.
But why won't you think more?
Thinking is too tiring.
Keeping shop tires me.
I can't bring myself to think.
Playing chess?
You're back.
This is left over.
Why not buy tea?
I can't do it.
I'll check the bacon.
Autie Wu said dripping bacon fat may cause fire.
Take my place to play chess with big genius.
Whose turn is it?
Light won't be extinguished.
Heavenly God is eternal.
Light won't be extinguished.
Heavenly God is eternal.
Light won't be extinguished.
Heavenly God is eternal.
Who should go?
- She'll go. - Uh?
- You go. - Me?
I should go.
I meant whose piece should go.
If you leave, she'll be upset.
She...who's 'she'?
Sit down, Pipi.
Young Master, I avenged you today.
I won 100 taels from Tubby.
I won't give him any bacon.
