[Ever Night]
[Episode 55]
Little Bro, here you go.
It worked!
Thanks, 4th-Senior Bro. Thanks, 6th-Senior Bro.
Don't mention it.
It's your remarkably ingenious idea.
But this toy is interesting.
We can recommend it to Army Ministry in future.
Little Bro, whatever you do, we all believe you will succeed.
Please make me more.
When my house is done, come for a drink.
- No problem. - No problem.
Bros, 7th-Senior Sister is waiting for me.
I must go.
I saw his high Talisman potential as below Book Addict's.
Today I realised Grandmaster Yan Se saw
his creative ideas that don't follow rules.
Yeah. No-one but him could've come up with this idea–
'Fire' Talisman in an iron pot.
It's one of a kind.
This kid is set on defeating Xia Hou.
Is it a good or bad thing?
Let's follow Big Bro's wishes. Help, not question.
Little Bro, you're right to choose this lake.
Yan Ming Lake would make a good Array.
Yan Ming Lake is Astounding God Array's left eye.
You're truly expert in Arrays. You knew at once.
It's just that activating Yan Ming Lake Array may be hard.
What I can do is create an Array around the lake.
Thanks, Senior.
But don't mess up.
You once placed my Array flags lopsidedly.
Do it yourself this time.
No problem, but how long to create this Array?
- You're in a rush? - Mm.
Must you carry out this matter?
Yes. I must do it.
- It'll take ten days. - Mm.
Thanks, Senior Sister.
I can resolve your doubts.
Come. Come to me.
Rubbish! Scum!
Is this how you resolve the doubts in my heart?
Can seeing lovely scenery everyday
make you most powerful?
Is that Cultivation?
Come. Hurry here.
Closer.
I won't hurt you.
Come.
Come over.
Come.
You've seen Divine Channeling Pill?
I saw it once. I had no motive.
Lying to yourself is pathetic.
Divine Pill is Heaven Dao Sect's priceless medicine.
Not even Xiling has it.
This miracle Pill helps a Cultivator in the shortest time
to break through.
- Break through? - Yes.
In this world, only one is left.
If I were you,
I'd swallow it right away.
How can I do such an unethical thing?
Abbot healed my Qihai Xueshan.
What's more, I want to stay to read Heaven Book.
With your wits?
I won't lie to you.
I've read the Sun Volume.
And I read Sand chapters.
Is that so?
In that case, I will tell you.
The last Sand chapter is about making Heaven Channeling Pill.
Since you don't wish to steal,
you should refine your own.
The result is the same.
Refine my own?
Thanks, Elder. I take my leave.
You've been working too hard on creating this Array.
Thanks for your concern.
If you have a death wish from blind vengeance,
I won't help you.
Big Brother.
However difficult some things are, I'll still do them.
Even if the outcome can't be borne, I'll still go.
Because this was my fate when I was born.
Even if I'm just an ant...
I will challenge him.
I want him, for all the innocent lives in General's manor...
to pay the price.
Greetings, Uncle Yi Chen.
I wonder if I may use the medicine cauldron.
You've thought it through?
I am resolved.
If you want, use it as you like.
Thank you, Uncle.
Long Qing.
Since you came to the Abbey, you focused on Cultivating.
Now you can open Sand Volume,
you have a basis.
But in Cultivation, first is knowledge and obeisance.
If you can't let go of competing to win,
there's no such knowledge and obeisance.
What's not mine, I needn't have.
But with what should be mine,
why would Heaven let me sink so low?
Indeed.
Some people can never gain repute in life.
Some people are born into being lauded.
Like you, who were once called Child of Light.
Then a nobody ruined your Qihai Xueshan.
Heaven still gave you a chance,
so you met the Abbot and could resume Cultivating.
Long Qing, what's it mean to gain something?
And to lose something?
I understand the pain of losing something.
So I yearn to grow powerful.
Am I wrong?
I'm not God.
I can't judge you.
Abbot says you're not ordinary.
So I trust you must be exceptional.
Young Master, I never thought we'd settle by a lake.
And it's so big!
Like it?
I like it.
Let's go boating.
Xia Hou will be back soon.
The nascent energy here is more than on shore.
Yan Ming Lake is Astounding God 's left eye.
It's natural there's more nascent energy.
We have Astounding God and 7th-Senior Sister's Array.
What's more, we have 4th and 6th Senior Bros' secret weapon.
So, don't fear.
~daybreak lights west chambers~
~autumnal breeze last night~
~was like cool wine I bought~
~far green hills, calming zither~
~ride a skiff in high spirits~
~pages turn in rain drizzle~
~I asked the cool breeze to tour the world with me~
~that Spring, we cut fragrant peach blossoms while drinking wine~
~see the world at leisure~
~life is a question fools laugh at~
~I laugh at life's tumult~
~begging can't get an antidote~
Looks like rain.
Storm lightning may strike an open umbrella.
You said that as a kid, but we're still alive.
I can feel everything around me.
I think I got smart.
You were always smart, just lazy.
Too lazy to think.
Master suddenly chose me as Grandmaster of Light successor.
I must think about things now.
Maybe the moment you picked me up,
our fates were entwined.
That may be the Fate Master talked about.
Sang Sang.
If I can't defeat Xia Hou...
you should go back to Wei City.
Old Ma and my comrades can protect you.
I can help you.
Sang Sang, always remember
it wasn't easy, not easy at all, for us to survive in this world.
So we can't die easily.
If Young Master is fine, Sang Sang is fine.
We're going home!
Xia Hou greets Hierarch.
I hear you'll return to the capital.
Yes.
I asked to retire. His Majesty agreed.
You and Mister 13 will surely duel.
But though he's Fu Zi's Disciple and the capital has Astounding God,
I believe my gift would greatly help you
to take care of him easily.
Hierarch, of your Divine Pill,
I only used half to reach Wu Dao apex.
But I was weakened by the Pill.
I think this isn't an authentic Divine Pill.
It really isn't a genuine Divine Pill.
I modified it.
If you consume the rest,
I believe you'll gain a surprising result.
As for weakening, once you kill Ning Que, I'll fix it for you.
You used the Pill's effect to threaten me.
Everyone thinks Xiling Shrine is the world's brightest place.
Who expected this place consumes people.
If I can help you beat Mister 13 and have you in Xiling,
what's wrong with playing some tricks?
If you kill him, I'll welcome you to Peach Mountain as a Leader
respected and admired by thousands.
You and your sister will live without worries.
If you can't do it, I can only use my method.
As for Mister 13, I will defeat him.
I hope Hierarch won't forget your promise.
Ever Night is coming. Go ahead.
Hierarch Lord, you truly gave him a Divine Pill?
Only one Divine Pill exists– at the Abbey.
Half the Pill I sent him let him attain Wu Dao apex.
Half is ready for Ning Que.
You mean...
Maybe only my method can make Mister 13 vanish from the world.
Your small courtyard is elegant.
Thanks for the compliment.
Congratulations on your new home!
My people sent local food from a South Sea fishing village.
Sang Sang.
Tell Yilan to prepare that food.
I heard Lord Zeng approved your marriage.
In the Crown Prince issue, he supports Empress.
This is Sang Sang's and my matter,
not the Court's.
You've avoided this issue.
You must know Xia Hou is Empress' biological brother.
Xia Hou had the same military standing as General Xu Shi.
His troops are our biggest foes.
You're wrong.
The Northern Army guards Tang's northern border.
You are Tang Princess.
The troops you speak of shouldn't be foes.
They should be our powerful protectors.
There are things that don't involve Empress.
Including northern troops.
You're naive.
Xia Hou has retired.
Yet his influence over the army is powerful.
General Xu Shi supports His Majesty.
Whether the Dragon throne goes to 3rd or 6th Prince,
His Majesty has final say.
I will stand on His Majesty's side.
Divine Pill.
Chu Zhongtian and Wang Ying haven't come?
I sent them invitations.
Perhaps they haven't got over their Wildland moodiness.
After all, you walk fast. Not everyone can keep up.
Give them time.
Maybe in a few years, our shared ups and downs
will turn into good memories.
If possible, you need to keep distance from Princess.
Give it to me.
What are you doing?
In your youth,
you proudly rode your mare in the streets.
But if you're truly determined to be Tang's female general,
you must realise it's totally different from playing soldiers.
I see your meaning.
I want to be Tang Empire's female general,
not someone's female general.
Well said.
It's a reward.
You have many tricks!
When Sang Sang was little, she'd cry when hungry.
I wove little toys to make her happy.
Hey, Ning Que, look at your lake reflection.
Notice how detestable your look of pride is.
Why not be proud?
Is it pride for your skill or making Sang Sang happy?
Both, especially the latter.
These days, Academy gossip is about you and Book Addict.
They saw you two walk arm in arm.
What do you say? Was it "seduce and abandon"?
Rumours!
Which eyes saw us walk arm in arm?
I didn't even touch her hands.
Okay, my mistake.
Mister 13, future Tang lady general wants to walk arm in arm with you.
Elder, please tell me how to refine a Divine Pill.
Isn't it clearly written in Sand Volume?
But I followed the secret method yet got no result.
You must realise, in this world,
whatever you do, put in your whole heart.
Put in my whole heart?
I tried my best.
What situation requires your heart's blood?
Heart's blood?
Thanks, Elder. I'll take my leave.
Mister 13.
Lord Wang Jinglue.
General Xu Shi invites you over.
What situation requires your heart's blood?
General, Ning Que arrived.
Send him in.
Ning Que greets General Xu.
Mister 13.
Sit.
Didn't expect you so quickly?
Let me finish eating and we'll talk.
Old General. Fatty food is bad for health.
You're reminding me I'm old
and should watch my health waiting to die.
That's not what I mean.
The hero ages; his gut ages.
I'm old, so is my gut.
But I won't admit I'm old.
I dislike being called Old General.
I'm still young.
Whoever dares to offend Tang,
I can still fight him to the death.
Before being a Cultivator, I'm a soldier first.
I'm also a soldier.
Even Knowing Destiny Cultivators,
facing a shower of arrows from thousands of soldiers,
would meet their ends.
Do you know why?
Because of arrogance.
Facing that hail of arrows from thousands of troops,
they think God gave them supreme power over weak mortals.
Arrogance destroys everything.
What if it's General Xia Hou?
If top Experts were invincible,
why's Tang need large armies?
Xia Hou is different.
He has reached the Wu Dao apex.
You want to kill him?
There's no way.
Thanks for your honesty.
Today's invitation is to say this?
No. I'm warning you.
You must obey Tang law.
I'm a Tang man, following Tang laws.
You've no files before 10.
You say you're from Mount Min, but speak fluent Tang dialect.
I've fought many battles in my life and seen blood flow
and thousands of corpses.
But I can't see through you.
My home is at Yan Ming Lake.
If you suspect me, find me anytime.
I admire your courage.
But I still must warn you Xia Hou will return to the capital.
Thanks for the reminder. I'll take my leave.
Ye Qing, you emerged from practice?
Yes, water dripped through rock.
Perhaps today the stone in your heart is ashes.
Water dripping through rock went through life and death.
You sat here 15 years
and water dripped through.
Finishing practice, you realised the truth of life and death.
In the Abbey, except for Abbot,
no-one can compare to you.
- 15 years already? - 15 years.
Come on.
Where are you going?
I want to look outside.
Abbot lives on South Sea.
You should stay here.
Ye Qing, don't forget, you're Abbot's successor.
But I also remember I'm Xiling's Wayfarer for its Unknown Place.
So, I have to see the world.

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