I am going to change my destiny
Are you not afraid of failing?
I’m not scared. I have the right to decide my own destiny!
From today onwards
Whether you live or die will be determined by the Heavens. Go.
In the beginning,
A meteor struck the earth and broke into pieces, which scattered across the lands
One of the pieces, which had fallen into the lands of the orient
Had strange inscriptions engraved upon it
People gained the power of knowledge by observing these inscriptions
A state religion was established. And people began to gain more knowledge
Countless arts and teachings erupted as a result of this
Just how many experts this gave rise to is unknown
They all dreamed of entering the Mausoleum of Holy Scriptures and
Gaining more knowledge from the Holy Scriptures inside

Episode 3
The Divine General's Mansion Breaks off an Engagement
Out of the way!
All of you, out of the way!
Quickly. Out of the way!
Out of the way!
Many thanks
May I ask, what are the directions to get to the Divine General’s Mansion?
Just head east of here
It’s the biggest residence on this street
Thank you
Who is it?
Is there someone that you're looking for?
Follow me
Please wait in that area
Young master, please have some tea
Who is this guy?
Does anyone know where this poor and moneyness boy is from?
Is your master still well?
Yes, my master is doing fine
Have you seen the Heavely Book Mausoleum yet?
Or perhaps the sight of the ivy at the Royal palace?
The scenery there is quite nice
No, not yet
I shall go after some days
If so,
The moment you arrived at the Capital, you immediately came to the General's mansion, correct?
Yes, I won't deny that fact
I see
The youngster is in such a hurry to get married
Madam, this is my marriage...
Hold on. I won't agree to this marriage
Even if you take out the marriage documents, there is no use
Many years ago, old master Xu was saved by your master
And then decided on this marriage
In the eyes of a normal person, this is a great tale
But in reality, this is a story that resembles fiction
Apart from idiots, no one else will believe it
Furthermore, the old master has recently died, so this proposal should be nullified
I know that you are a smart person
Which is why we should have an intelligent conversation
The only thing you should be considering right now is giving up on this marriage
Then, whatever reparations you would like
I can give to you
Why is this?
Huh. You're asking why?
Because although your master is decent with the medical arts, he is still only a normal Daoist
You come from a poor background, but my daughter is the golden child of the Divine General
And the Divine General's mansion isn't a place where a normal person like you can come in with ease
Is my explanation clear enough?
It is already very clear
If you understand, that is excellent
Now you must know what you should do
The tea in front of you is the famous butterfly tea
It is worth five silver coins a gram
This teacup is made from the royal kiln, and is more expensive than gold itself
The tea is cold, but you still haven't touched it. This means that you don't have the right to taste it
You will forever be the filthy remains of grass and mud
Did you really think you could marry into the Divine General's family to change your fate? Hmph.
That's simply a crazy man's dream
Actually, you've misunderstood
Before coming, I was already going to forfeit the marriage
What? Repeat your words
I was going to break off the engagement
But now, I've changed my mind
Ah?
Farewell
Shen Du, the heart of the Zhou Dynasty, was a bustling city ruled by the Empress
Is a Daoist allowed to get married?
My master is a Daoist. But I am not
So that means, you're an ordinary person
That's right. I'm still practicing
Really?
Yes, General
That Daoist is simply divine when it comes to medicine
His apprentice should also have some capabilities
So what?
The most important thing right now is the marriage documents
You are...
My name is Shuang Er. I am the personal maid of the young lady
I want to know; do you really have a marriage vow with her?
Yes, young lady Xu and I are engaged
Shh. I recommend not to say those words again
If not, you might not be able to protect your life
If the Divine General really wants me to die,
They can kill me directly. Isn't that better?
There are countless eyes watching the mansion. You should be safe if you are inside
But if you don't keep your mouth shut while outside of it, your life will be in danger
Why?
Because Qiu Shan Jun is the best choice to marry into the General's mansion
Qiu Shan Jun...
An envoy from the Qiu Shan Jun family will come here to officially propose a marriage soon
At that time, we have to be very careful to not make any mistakes
Are you saying that you don't even know who Qiu Shan Jun is?
Am I supposed to know?
Of course!
Qiu Shan Jun is the eldest son of the largest family in the Southern lands
They all say that he will become the strongest man in these lands for hundreds of years to come
Furthermore, as the head of the seven prodigies in the country, it is said that he is the reincarnation of the dragon
Dragon?
And our young lady has been chosen as the next Holy girl
For your information, she has already succeeded in purifying her body at a very young age
At the age of twelve, she headed to the south to read the Heavenly book
And she very quickly broke through the meditation stage
Everyone knows that Qiu Shan Jun greatly admires her
Because our young lady is the reincarnation of the Sky Phoenix
Sky Phoenix...
Now you should know why I'm asking to keep your mouth shut
It is to my belief that this little Daoist isn't someone who is easily shooed away
Perhaps we should go threaten him a bit
We should threaten him a little
In the Capital
One must be very careful
I already know what to do
I'd like to know why you're telling me all this information
That's because the young lady has spoken about you in her letters
Although she definitely won't marry you, she wouldn't want to see you die for no reason either
If you have self-awareness, you should make the correct decision now
I understand. Thank you, miss
Hey! Woah woah woah
If you leave so brashly, you might die!
But everybody will eventually die
Gosh, you should know that's not what I meant
You should have accepted madam's request to void the marriage
Did you really have to come all the way down here just to cancel the marriage?
If that's the case, are you trying to save some face by saying it directly?
My goal today was to cancel the engagement. Whether you believe me or not isn't of importance
If that's the case, why did you change your mind?
Because
None of you asked for my name before
From the moment I entered the General's mansion, whether it was you or the madam, no one ever asked for my name
My name is Chen Chang Sheng. It's a very crude name, but my master hopes I can live a long life
(T/N: Chang Sheng (长生) literally means long life, or longevity)
That is why he gave me this name and it has been that ever since.
What about it? You need to understand that,
The difference between you and the young lady is like the vast galaxy
The distance between the two of you is something you will never be able to close in on
Because in the entire continent, the young lady has the unique blood of the Sky Phoenix
But everyone in this world is unique
You..!
If you continue to be this stubborn, you will regret it!
Go.
You must retrieve the marriage documents
Yes
Guest, please, will you be staying here?
Eh? This guest, please go first
Mister
Please give me a quiet room, with as little disturbance as possible
Very well, master. The two of you please go ahead
That guy called Chen Chang Sheng brought marriage documents here
I'm not sure what the madam said to make him so angry
He was originally going to cancel the engagement, but now changed his mind
The way he does things is very stubborn and without any fear
Geez, this Chen Chang Sheng sure is a troublemaker
What if that is the case?
You need to understand that the difference between you and the young lady is like the vast galaxy
The distance between the two of you is something you will never be able to close in on
Who is it?
Don't move, if you know what's good for you, void the marriage now!
Or else you won't be able to get what you want
You'll also have to pay with your useless life
The General's mansion?
You guys are so loud!!!
Who are you? Stop minding other people's business
I didn't want to interfere, but it looks like there is a sword in my hands
I'm afraid I can't comply with your request
