[ Episode 21 ]
Xiao Tan! Quickly get up. Did you get hurt?
You old turtle! Do you plan to kill me?!
Stinky brat, if you dare to be disrespectful to me again, don't blame me if I kill you with one palm.
Don't think I don't know that you can't bear to kill me now.
Stinky brat, listen well.
If you dare play tricks on me again,
I surely will torment Jing Xin to the point that she'll beg to die!
If you've got what it takes, then target me! Don't touch Jing Xin.
Master, the Crown Prince and his Princess Consort are here.
Crown Prince?
Why is he here?
Listen. Send more people here
to keep watch over these two girls.
Without my order, no one is allowed to come near this place!
Yes!
Jing Xin, are you all right?
I'm fine.
Xiao Tan, why did you get caught again?
I don't know how Cheng Cheng is doing now.
Greetings, Your Highness Crown Prince.
Father-in-law, no need to be so formal.
I came here just to accompany Pan'er in visiting her maiden family.
Right, Pan'er?
Right.
Since that's so, allow me to thank Your Highness Crown Prince first for understanding the love between me and my daughter.
Talking about the love between father and daughter, I heard that Tan'er has also returned to your manor for several days.
Pan'er has also not seen her little sister for a long time. Why don't—
Tan'er is currently resting in her room. It's a bit inconvenient right now.
Is she not well?
- I then will— - Your Highness Crown Prince!
Your Highness Crown Prince,
Tan'er's ailment originated from her exhaustion from her work at the 8th Prince Manor. She'll be fine after some rest.
You're now her brother-in-law.
I feel that it isn't proper to be too concerned about your sister-in-law.
Don't make me lose face.
Since that's the case, I surely will return next time to visit her.
- I'll take my leave. - Forgive me if I can't walk you out.
Pan'er, come back to the manor with me.
Tan'er went to look for Liu Shang. 8th Brother and Yu Hao also went to look for Liu Shang.
Why did they all go to look for Liu Shang?
Jing Xin has clearly been left in the Qu Manor alone, and no one is caring for her.
I should go and visit her.
Go. Hurry.
Why is this Lord Qu acting so sneaky?
This late at night,
what is he transporting in secret? Something's fishy.
This is bad...
Why is Qu Jiang Lin able to use the energy of the Soul Suppressing Orb?
Logically speaking, only its master can use it
Elder, what kind of item is this
Soul Suppressing Orb?
And why
is it in your and the Scholar's possession?
Why did you ask me two questions at the same time?
You've caused my brain to be stunned.
Why ask so much? Anyway, it's already in his hands.
I still have one thing I don't understand. Who really is Scholar?
What is the real identity of Tan'er?
The identity of that girl is a bit complicated.
But, I do know about it very clearly.
However, I can't accurately say either where she came from.
However, there is one thing that I'm sure of.
She's definitely not the Second Daughter of the Qu Family.
As for who this lad is, he surely must have told it to you before.
He said that he is me.
But how can I believe him?
You don't believe what he says, but you will believe what I say?
Just wait for him to wake up, and you can personally ask him your questions.
That's good too. He owes me a huge favor.
I'm sure he will tell me the truth.
Alright already. Next, I'm going to use magic on you two.
I'll try to connect your souls
and then transfer some of your primordial spirit to him, so it can delay the progression of his illness.
Then you too will become unconscious.
You might see some images in your mind.
Remember, they are just his memories.
They have nothing to do with you.
I understand.
What story do you have? Let me personally see it then.

Tan'er!
That other person is... me?
No. It's Liu Shang. Where is this place?
What's with this heart-wrenching pain? Why do I feel like I have gone through the same thing?
Calm down a little. Don't forget that what you're seeing are his own memories.
They are all in his past. Don't let your mind be disturbed by it.
Or else, not only will we be unable to stabilize his soul, but even you will be put in danger.
What place is this? Where's Tan'er?
Thank you.
This... is it really you or are you a memory?
It's really me.
I'm doing all this just for Tan'er.
That's right too.
Your eyes have sight now?
They can temporarily, but this won't last long.
Then about this Cheng Cheng in Tan'er's heart, is that you?
Shouldn't you explain to me who you and Tan'er really are?
If I'm you, this shouldn't surprise you at all.
Because based on my intellect, I will have realized that Tan'er isn't from Dong Yue at all.
You are me. So, I don't need to explain that to you.
Indeed.
If Tan'er isn't the Second Daughter of Qu Manor, then all her actions can be explained.
Instead, I feel that you don't really resemble me.
If Tanner and I had gone through so much, I wouldn't have surrendered her to others.
But in regard to our feelings for Tan'er, we are exactly the same.
When that occurred, you must have felt so much pain.
I did.
Will I... also lose Tan'er?
You will not.
Won't I? I don't want to be so heartbroken either.
You are me. When we love a person,
we would rather have our own hearts ache for her.
Serene Soul Altar? Isn't this the temporary palace that the past Emperor used for cultivating in seclusion?
What is that old fox, Qu Jiang Lin, trying to do?
It doesn't feel right. I must tell 8th Brother about this.
Old Man Qu, you better stay far away from me,
or 8th Prince won't let you off!
If the real Tan'er could have been as good as you
in getting those two 8th Princes bewitched like this,
I also wouldn't need to trouble myself with this.
Quickly tell me, why are there two 8th Princes?
What two 8th Princes?
I think you've just got poor eyesight from being ancient and saw double!
You are not going to tell me, right?
Fine, fine. Once I'm done offering you to the Soul Suppressing Orb,
then regardless of how many 8th Princes there are,
they all must submit to me anyway.
- You're going to offer me? - Mmm, yes...
Don't do that. I've done a lot of evil things.
If you make me the offering, it will cause a hostile and evil effect.
I've waited for so long before I was able to find you, the host of the Soul Suppressing Orb.
Others are not qualified.
Don't, don't, Daddy... wrong, father! Don't, Father!
Father! Father! You're my father.
It's responding!
Nothing but the blood of a Qu descendant like me can open this box
and only that of its true host.
Correct. You are indeed the true host.
Quickly. Quickly play the Wandering Soul Flute.
What play? I don't know how!
If I tell you to play it, you do it! Hurry and open the box!
I'll play it then!
Why is it like this? The host is already playing the Soul Wandering Flute. The seal on this jade box...
should have quickly opened already. Why isn't it working?
Why?!
If the jade box won't open, I still have a way.
I'll just absorb the spiritual power of the Soul Suppressing Orb by force.`
Good daughter, I must let you suffer a little.
There is a place called the Dong Yue Kingdom.
There is an 8th Prince there
and his 8th Princess Consort from another world.
You're hurting me!
They fell in love and went through many crises together.
♫ Feeling is like silk that we're unaware of how entangled it has become ♫
♫ Weave a piece of glamorous ornamentation ♫
♫ With both of our deep loves ♫
♫ It's hard to entrust this love-sickness to someone ♫
Give me the divorce letter!
I'm not satisfied.
Mo Lian Cheng!
You bastard! You dared to trick me?
♫ Searching and looking, living as if intoxicated or dreaming for another lifetime.♫
Their target is me!
If you know that, why are you dragging me along?
Stay close to me! There will be a good show to watch later!
♫ I'm willing to become that extremely hopeful bluestone ♫
♫ With your name seal carved into my heart ♫
♫ Turn back to be a butterfly inside a sealed cocoon to weave spring silk ♫
♫ which cannot be cut but is mingled, forever and ever ♫
They should have been together forever.
But during one crisis,
just to protect another world, they triggered a massive energy
and that massive power twisted time.
It pulled them into two different time periods. - Tan'er!
Just like that, they were separated.
The 8th Prince traveled to the 8th Princess Consort's real hometown.
It was a very unfamiliar city.
In that place, he did find his 8th Princess Consort again.
When he met her again,
the girl he found was indeed his Princess Consort but from a time before they had ever met.
Sir, do you want to buy a house?
The 8th Prince decided to enter her life all over again
to get her to know and love him once again.
But he was more naive than he thought.
To make someone fall in love with another person again,
how could it be that easy?
He felt very desperate and hopeless.
He saved me again.
Why are you acting so courteous with yourself?
To save me, he lost a lot of his primordial energy.
He probably won't wake up for a while.
Elder.
Let me ask you for a favor.
Go ahead.
From now on, don't transfer his energy to me.
My disappearance is an unchangeable fate.
I cannot sacrifice my original self's life as well.
But...
Your Highness... the 14th Prince has arrived.
Elder. Take good care of him for me.
Let him rest well.
- 14th! - 8th Brother!
What is the hurry?
8th Brother, I came to tell you,
when I went to look for Jing Xin, I saw Qu Jiang Lin have a big chest carried out of his house!
He was acting in a very secretive manner and transported the chest to the Serene Soul Altar in the night.
Serene Soul Altar? Isn't that where Royal Grandfather...
It seems that he took Tan'er there!
8th Brother, why do you say that?
The Serene Soul Altar may appear to have been constructed by Royal Grandfather for his cultivation,
but actually, Royal Grandfather built it
to express his gratitude to the Qu family for protecting the Soul Suppressing Orb for generations.
Perhaps there are secrets that only Royal Grandfather and the Qu family know about in there.
So, that Serene Soul Altar has such a profound purpose.
I'll go rescue Tan'er right away. Return home and wait for my message.
Remember. You must not attract any attention from others.
Yes, I understand!
Why have you come?
Father was concerned that you might be hungry,
so he told me to take care of you as an older sister should.
Take care of me? Who knows what you're bringing?
Or whether it is poisoned or not? I'm not eating it.
No matter, so be it.
Father is keeping you around only because you still have some use or else I wouldn't be bothered with you.
Wait!
What is it you want now?
Big Sister Pan'er, let me be honest with you.
Actually... I'm not your little sister, Qu Tan'er.
I don't know how I became your little sister.
I am indeed Qu Xiao Tan. But I'm not from Dong Yue.
I've heard about this from Father before.
Are you really not Qu Tan'er?
You're not a crazy person either?
I'm definitely sure and certain.
I am the real Qu Xiao Tan.
So, we are not love rivals.
The things that happened in the past were all a misunderstanding!
What's the use of telling me this?
Yi Huai won't believe it. Your real identity makes no difference.
But...
I can help you capture his heart.
Even if you are not Qu Tan'er, you've always worked against me.
Why would you suddenly be so kind-hearted?
That is another misunderstanding.
I'm not Qu Tan'er.
I don't care about him either. I am Qu Xiao Tan.
The one I love is Mo Lian Cheng. I'd love for Mo Yi Huai to stop pestering me.
Is what you said true?
Absolutely true.
Let me tell you. I have a way to make that Mo Yi Huai fall in love with you.
What method do you have?
If you help Mo Yi Huai save the girl he likes
and then pretend to be the sainted holy mother
and tell him that you're doing it all only for his happiness.
Then Mo Yi Huai
may feel really touched!
But what use is it for him just to be touched?
Then I will dump him!
Then I will ask straight away for Mo Lian Cheng!
I'll dangle another man right in front of Mo Yi Huai.
Mo Yi Huai will definitely get angry!
Don't you feel that you have hurt Yi Huai enough?
Big Sister, can't you let me finish talking first?
This is the moment when a man's heart is the weakest.
It is also the very minute when he needs another woman to console him!
This is when you really need to up
your holy mother saintliness.
At that very moment when you
pull Mo Yi Huai into your arms, you... well the rest
I don't need to teach you that, right?
My god. I am so good at bluffing and conning.
She probably understood me, right? Please don't make me have to repeat myself!
I can't guarantee I can tell the same exact story every time!
I'll believe you, and I'll try your plan.
If it doesn't work, I'll make you suffer!
And she believed me just like that?
[Eldest Prince Manor]
It really is Tan'er's jade pendant!
What is Tan'er doing now?
Tan'er has been currently locked up by my father in the underground palace with the Serene Soul Altar.
Underground palace?
Why haven't I ever heard of the existence of any underground palace with a Serene Soul Altar before?
The underground palace with the Serene Soul Altar was built by the former Emperor as a memorial to our Qu Family's loyalty.
Besides my Qu Family ancestors, no one else knew about it.
Then why did your father lock Tan'er in there?
To obtain the power of the Soul Suppressing Orb, my father wants to
- sacrifice Tan'er. - What?!
How is Tan'er doing now?
Tan'er is still alive now.
But if time drags on, I'm afraid...
Qu Pan'er.
You've never had a good relationship with Tan'er.
And you hate her because of me.
But why are you telling me this truth now?
Brother Yi Huai, don't misunderstand me.
I do hate Qu Tan'er,
but it's just because of you. We are still biological siblings.
I have never wanted to take her life.
I only hope that she can disappear from your heart!
I know you might not believe me,
but there is one thing you must believe!
My heart truly wishes only for you to have happiness!
I know I'm not a generous person,
but I've thought this through!
As long as you can be happy,
I will feel happy as well.
Thank you.
Tan'er!
Wait!
I ask Brother Yi Huai to consider carefully.
Now not only is Qu Tan'er deeply in love with the 8th Prince,
she is not even the old Tan'er anymore!
Are you still insistent on taking risks at your own peril?
No matter what Tan'er has become,
I will never change my feelings until death. Tan'er!
Tan'er!
Tan'er! Wake up, Tan'er!
- Tan'er! - Mo Yi Huai?
Why is it you?
Where is my Cheng Cheng?
Cheng Cheng...
I'll get you out of here first. We'll talk once we get outside.
Father! Don't!
You brat! You dare to betray me?
