Episode 13
It was Young Master Feng marrying Third Miss Dao.
The wedding is set at the 2nd day of the 2nd month.
I thought you are only skilled in playing the zither.
Cultivation is boring and hard. If you don't learn a few more things, how could you pass the days?
Where are we going to get the medicine? Ethereal Clique?
Someone is stalking us?
Yes. Since I left Ethereal Clique,
lowly people like that hasn't stopped. They are just measly individuals. No need to give importance to them.
That's why, you never slept the whole night because you were guarding us?
Okay already. Let's go in.
Is getting the medicine dangerous. Do you need me to ask some more people from our sect?
You must not. This journey is top secret.
Okay.
Hurry and come in.
Let your soul come back to your body.
This is...
What? You don't recognize it anymore?
Of course, I do. You didn't tell me that we're passing by here.
Stupid girl. We're not passing by.
Not passing by?
We're exactly coming here, the Xue's Sesame Seed Cake Shop in Ping'an Town.
Didn't you tell me that we're gathering some medicines?
We indeed came here to get a medicine.
- What medicine can you get from here? - Gather...
the medicine that can treat my heart illness.
Before saving your Senior Brother Yu Zihan, we must first treat the wound in my heart.
I am not joking with you.
I also am not joking with you.
That day, we separated here.
[Xue's Sesame Seed Cake Shop]
Just for Yu Zihan, you abandoned me here. Now, I brought you back.
Accompany me to live here for a few days just like before.
That day, I indeed left in a hurry. But right now, my senor brother's life is in danger.
I really can't accompany you in staying here.
Don't know when we'll be back here again.
The Prince of Jingyuan Manor needs time to prepare the guiding medicines and setting up the defense of the area.
Rather than waiting in the capital, it's better to just wait here.
Why must they set up the defense of the manor?
While I am treating your senior brother, his body will be in its weakest state.
I'm guessing that there must be enemies coming to attack him. That's why,
when we left, your senior brother already asked people to set up the defense of his manor to guard against the unknown.
Moreover, we left to distract the enemies too.
Try to buy them some time, am I right?
Okay. You must calculate the time we're staying here well. Don't cause any delay in what's important.
Don't worry. Prepare to open the shop.
- Open the shop? - Yes, go and prepare.
- Hurry! Hurry! - I...
Oh, sesame seed cake! Give me one!
- Slowly! Slowly! - Everyone get to have one! - I want the salty one.
- Slowly. - Here. Here.
Here.
Everyone has one.
- Hold it well. - Here.
- Since you two have opened the shop again, don't go back anymore. - Right. Right.
The neighbors really miss you too.
Ruge, Sir.
- Auntie Huang. - You two are back!
Did you two go back to your province to get married?
No...
Do you guys want to have another wedding banquet here in our Ping'an Town?
Right. Right. Let's all be merry!
That's right. Young people are inexperienced.
- We can help you out. - That's right!
I'm really grateful for the help you gave us in the past.
Today, is the first day that me and my wife came back here in Ping'an Town.
That's why, the sesame seed cake today are for free!
Oh, my, that's great!
- I wish you two can be together until old age. - Sure!
- Always being in love. - Have children soon!
Older brother and older sister, give birth to a little brother by next year!
Right...
Not being embarrassed or getting in to a fight forever!
Congratulations! Congratulations!
- Okay. - May everyone eat some sesame seed cake.
- This is given for free today! Do you want sweet or salty? - Sweet! Sweet!
- Sweet! - Wait a minute.
- I want one sweet and one salty. - Here. Take this.
Come, young girl. Come.
- Auntie Huang. - Let me give you some thing.
Look. Do you like it?
This...Auntie Huang, we're not...
- Actually. - Thank you, Auntie Huang.
Look at how shy thing young lady is.
Auntie Huang, can I talk with you in private?
Actually, Ge'er and I got expelled.
You also know that she's the Eldest Miss of Flaming Hills,
while I...am nothing.
That's why, we can't dare to be loud in preparing for our wedding.
Auntie Huang, I have to trouble you to tell our neighbors
that it's enough that we all know it. Stop spreading the news.
So as not to make Old Sect Leader lie unhappy if he hears about it.
It's really quite hard. Sir, don't worry. I understand.
We'll be like before. We won't talk about your matter to outsiders.
Okay. Thank you.
I will keep this well.
After all, this is the first gift that Ge'er and I received after getting married.
It might also be the last one.
Sir, status is not that important.
Just live your days well.
- I'll go give her some advice. - Okay.
- Young lady. - Auntie Huang.
Sir has no house, land, achievements, or fame.
But he is a good person. Treasure him well.
Auntie Huang, take care.
What did you tell Auntie Huang earlier?
Nothing much.
If didn't tell her anything, how come she suddenly smiled?
- Also, she was smiling so weirdly. - Your culinary skills are getting better.
I am asking you what you told Auntie Huang.
Let me try this.
- This is also delicious. - The way she looked at me was strange too.
- Such good hour and good scenery, but without a good wine... - I know that they are delicious. My culinary skills are indeed good. But the question I'm asking you is...
wouldn't that be such a pity?
Let me do it.
Come, sit.
Ge'er, I feel that your temper has gotten better.
In the morning, I said that you were my wife, but you didn't get mad.
You are always smiling and making jokes like this.
If I keep making a fuss with you, won't I be too exhausted?
You're acknowledging it?
Acknowledge what?
To be my wife.
Okay?
You're blushing.
You have me in my heart now? I won't say it anymore.
Eat.
Why won't you eat?
- I don't want to-- - Don't want to what?
Don't want to marry Zhan Feng?
- Right. - Who do you want to marry? Yin Xue?
I don't mean it that way. He doesn't have such thoughts for me.
Liexiang, Swordless City needs you to marry him.
Anye Luo also requires that you marry him.
But the Dark River Palace is the number 1 evil sect in jianghu.
How could you take side with an evil doer?
Marrying Zhan Feng is just a delaying tactic.
It is to let Anye Luo see our loyalty.
Once Anye Luo stripped the hypocritical mask that Lie Mingjing is wearing,
once the two of them are badly hurt from fighting,
I surely will make a move then to completely eliminate Dark River Palace.
- Eldest Brother plans to eliminate Dark River Palace? - Yes.
Aren't you afraid of getting spurned at by the world for the time being?
A great man is able to bow and stand straight.
I'd rather get locked in this room forever
than marry a man that I don't love.
How come we can't just be upright and frank in competing with them?
- Eldest Brother-- - Liexiang,
let me finish.
Our parents died early. You are my most beloved little sister.
Do you still remember who carried around the whole Swordless City
just to make you smile?
Do you still remember that after father died,
how I risked my life to preserve Wudao City?
Now, Flaming Hills has become so powerful.
Jiangnan's Thunderbolt Clique is catching up to us. Can you really endure
to see our Thunderbolt Clique wane little by little and get surpassed by others?
Being the supreme leader of the martial arts society is father's wish.
It is also my lifetime wish.
I am kneeling here now to beg you.
I beg that you can support it.
I also am asking you to support my wish. I will never marry him.

She still refused?
This girl has been spoiled by me that she developed such a bad trait.
It's enough to be mischievous during usual days.
But for a major matter that concerns the survival of our Swordless City, she still won't give in.
If that day comes and she still refuses,
we can only tie her to the carriage.
Okay. Once she gets married, she would accept her fate.
Wait!
Go in.
Hey, from where did you come from?
Oh, northwest.
Northwest? With such a huge sandstorm, how were you able to come here?
I've traveled for several days and good thing I met a merchant convoy from Luoyang. I traveled with them and was able to avoid the sandstorm.
Fine. Go...
Young Master Lei.
Long time no see.
Dao Wuhen?
Young Master Lei.
- I came to-- - Based on usual practice,
Liexiang can't see you anymore.
You also know that she's going to be married off soon.
If she still meets with you now,
it won't sound good when this gets out.
I just have a few words to ask her.
This is not proper.
Fine. Consider it that I wasn't able to give this much thought.
[Peaceful spirit that is higher than the skies]
You did great.
- Young Master. - Don't call me Young Master from now on. Call me Sect Master.
Sect Master?
The day that Liexiang gets married off is the day that I inherit the sect leader position.
Do you have any shame?
Openly buying a man here. No wonder, he doesn't like you.
A man spending money to buy a woman is just right and proper,
but a woman can't be allowed to buy a man?
If you dare to touch even a hair of his, I'll kill you!
You tricked me? Come over here!
[Moonlight Pavilion]
Accompany me to have a stroll.
You're missing Xiaofeng?
Yes. Zhan Feng is getting married.
But recalling how he killed Xiaofeng, I am unable to calmly face him.
What you see might not be true.
- But I-- - You said that day
that you personally saw Zhan Feng carrying Xiaofeng's corpse.
But you never personally saw him kill him, am I right?
Yes.
Then it means that there are other possibilities.
Which possibility?
I won't say it anymore.
It's been only a few days, but why do you keep mentioning other people?
Whenever we get to the serious part, you start joking around.
I am very serious. How am I not serious?
I'm unable to defeat you. I'll let you kill me in whatever way you want.
But please let them go. Evil is rewarded by evil.
You surely will get your retribution.
Retribution?
- Hey, don't move. - Why must I?
Didn't you say that I can kill you in however I want with? Why are you not being a man of your word now?
Okay. I'm not moving. Kill me then.
Give me a kiss and I'll let them all go.
I'd rather die than be insulted.
You're the one who said that. I'll kill them all now.
- Since you won't agree to my request, I'll deliberately let you live. - You...
Since you dared to gamble, you should dare to accept defeat.
What? Aren't you a heroine?
Don't you like punishing and eliminating the evil doers?
How come you can't even do a simple thing like this? You still want to--
Don't move.

It's already dark.
Let's go.
You finally are willing to come out?
I thought that you'll be sleeping until new year.
I've sold several days of sesame seed cake for you. Aren't you going to let me sleep for a while?
How did you know that I'm sleeping?
Did you do anything to me?
What can I do to you?
Don't say it anymore.
Let's go. Let's go. I don't plan to wait for the new year in the wilderness.
Weird. How come it's not lively at all? New year's eve shouldn't be like this.
It is indeed strange.
Look. There is no light too in Auntie Huang's house.
Let us not panic first. Let's be careful.
Hey, how come the lamp in our sesame seed cake shop is lighted?
Hey, how come there is light coming from our house?
That's right. Why...how come you keep taking advantage of me?
Who is taking advantage of you? We eat and live there. If that's not our home, what is it?
Going home now.
- You're back! You're back! - I'm back.
Your husband was afraid that your first new year celebration outside from your home will be cold and cheerless,
so he asked us to come gather here and accompany you two in celebrating new year.
- Did we disturb you? - No. No. Let's all eat together.
- Okay! - That's good then. Where's your husband?
He is behind...
I just argued with you a little and you didn't wait for me anymore?
Jeez, what kind of couple don't argue?
- The more you argue, the more you get close. - That's right... - At the start, you would indeed argue less,
but it's because you're not that close yet. As time goes on, when you have argued a lot,
- you learn to stick together for life and death. Am I right? - Yes...when we were young, we also were like that.
That's right...
Okay. Let's eat our new year's eve meal. Let's hurry and go. Please.
Come... Come and sit here. Hurry and let's eat now.
- Sir, this is delicious. Eat this one. - Eat this.
Everyone, please wait. Today...
is my first time celebrating new year with my wife. I want to give her all the best things.
- Good. Good. - Tell me, which one should she eat? - This one is delicious. This one is delicious. - This one?
- Okay. - This one. This one is delicious. - Get more.
- This one. This one. - Get more. - That's delicious.
- Okay. That's very delicious. - Everyone, go back to your seat already.
Okay. Okay. Let's sit too. Come...
- So happy. - Everyone, let's sit. Okay. Hurry and eat.
Sir, we don't know your rules at your place. Here, when we eat a meal during new year's eve,
we are very particular about it. You must eat at least a mouthful of all the dishes here.
- Also, you must not eat too fast. - Okay. - That's right.
Okay. Then let us slowly eat them.
Slowly eat...
Older sister, you cannot bite through that! My mom said that a bamboo shoot must be eaten from start to end.
This way, all the people eating here can together forever.
That's right...be together forever...forever...
- Good! - Such a good omen. Let me try too.
Okay. Okay.
- This is very auspicious. - That's right.
- Eat it from start to end? - That's right...
Good! Good!
Choosing the easy way out.
It was you who didn't use your brain.
- Sect Leader. - Come. Let's eat.
Xun Yi, sit down and eat with us too.
Sect Leader, this is against the rules.
You will be marrying Jinglei sooner or later.
Furthermore, today is the new year's eve meal. The more lively, the more auspicious it is.
Come... Since Ge'er is not around, you sit on her place.
We can't do that, Sect Leader.
Sect Leader already said it. Just come over and sit.
But, I can't sit on Miss' seat.
- Just sit. - Sit down.
You came to our mountain villa when you were little. I can be said to have seen you grow up.
You are considered half a daughter of mine. Today, I'm telling you to sit here, so sit.
You hear that?
Young Master Ji, please.
Feng'er, drink less and eat more.
[Taste Flower Wine]
- Let me do that, Auntie Huang. - No need. No need.
- Just go rest. - Thanks.
- Why are you being so courteous? - Be careful.
Sir, I can hear your wonderful zither tune every night.
- That's right! - Am I right? You all heard it too, right?
I am just a poor scholar. That is just
a device I used to sell arts for a living.
Sir, look. Today, we are all very happy.
Don't know if you can open our eyes and play one tune for us?
That's right... Play us one song... That's right, Sir...
Play one song.
- Since everyone doesn't mind it, I'll perform them. - Good!
Please then.
♫ There is a beautiful woman ♫
♫ That one can't forget when you see her ♫
♫ If I don't see her for a day, ♫
♫ I will miss her like crazy ♫
♫ I'm like the phoenix ♫
♫ Soaring high in the sky ♫
♫ Searching all over to find my mate ♫
♫ Too bad, that beautiful woman ♫
♫ Is not near the eastern wall ♫
♫ I'm using the zither tune in place of my heart's words ♫
- Oh, I know already! I know already! - ♫ To describe my feelings ♫
- This was mentioned by teacher too. It's 'A Phoenix Looking for a Mate'. - Hope that my character will be compatible with yours.
- Is this song being played by Sir for older sister? - ♫ Holding hands and be together ♫
Is it right? Older sister! Older sister! - ♫ When can our wedding be approved ♫
- Older sister! Older sister! - ♫ To comfort my pacing back and forth ♫
It's new year's eve and I can only celebrate it alone.
Yin Xue, are you asleep?
What's wrong?
You're going back tomorrow. Can't bear to leave me?
Yes. I can't bear to.
If you can't bear to,
then just drop everything and leave with me.
Sorry.
There's no need for apology in between us.
Let me ask you a question.
You must face it with the proper attitude and answer seriously.
Say it.
While at Taste Flower Brothel, why did you choose me?
Didn't I tell you before that it's not me choosing you?
That I've been waiting for you in Taste Flower Brothel all this time.
I know that one day, you'll come. Hence, I opened Taste Flower Brothel.
Then, do you know me from before? Why would you wait for me?
I've waited for you for a long time.
Sometimes, I even suspect if I'm still alive.
For how long?
I've been waiting even before you were born.
Everything that you said is not serious at all.
I won't talk with you anymore. I'm sleeping now.
Ge'er, everything I said is true.
You just don't want to believe it.
Don't move. I'll beg him.
They surely will save you.
Teacher, I beg you to save her.
I'm willing to kneel here at the Summit of Ethereality for ten years.
I just beg teacher to save her.
She's dead. She left some last words to you,
hoping that you'll leave diabolism and re-cultivate Ethereal Immortality.
Teacher, please let me
return to the sect.
You've been in Dark River Palace for a long time. If you want to re-cultivate into immortality,
you must pass through a hundred years of extreme cold
to let ice become your bones, to let snow become your flesh.
Now if you want to return to my academy,
you must first dispose of your learned martial arts skills.
I fear that you might not be able to endure this pain.
I can.
Even if...
you enter immortality, I fear that
you might not be able to control fate.
I can...
I can see her again.
Yin Xue.
Yin Xue!
Yin Xue! What's wrong with you?
Are you in pain?
I'm fine.
This is just an injury I suffered in my early training years.
When it's chilly, I would be like this. I would just feel a bit cold.
When I helped my senior brother dissipate the cold,
I used my Flaming Fistcuff. Let me try it on you. Come.
Do you feel better? Do you feel warmer?
I do.
Do you feel better?
I am close to dying from my own heat.
I feel better.
You do look better.
Let me ask you a question.
Won't anything happen to you when you save my senior brother?
With my martial arts skills being this strong, that matter is very easy for me.
Liar.
When did I lie to you?
You want me to enumerate them?
When you went to Flaming Hills before, you said that you're going there to help me. But in the end, you went back on your words.
Why do you still bear grudge on a matter that happened so long ago?
Of course. And then later on, you told me that we're going to get medicines.
And then, you brought me here to sell sesame seed cake.
Is celebrating the new year together like this not good?
You are really such a weird woman.
You have to have a reason for everything. So not fun.
I never spent new year's eve outside of the mountain villa.
Don't worry. You would get the chance.
So sleepy. I'm going to sleep first.
You...
Just sleep.
