    I don't need to see it in death.

[04:21] Xie Lian
    I'm sorry, Sanlang.
[04:24] Xie Lian
    I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me...
[04:27] Xie Lian
    I'm sorry...
[04:32] Hua Cheng
    No, it's my fault.
[04:34] Xie Lian
    No, this is my problem!
[04:37] Xie Lian
    I've humiliated myself!
[04:39] Hua Cheng
    You did nothing wrong.
[04:41] Hua Cheng
    You killed the king of Yong An
    and protected the Xianle people.
[04:44] Hua Cheng
    You killed Anle and prevented
    a war between both peoples.
[04:49] Hua Cheng
    And in the end...
[04:50] Hua Cheng
    the killer was executed
    at Lang Qianqiu's hands.
[04:54] Hua Cheng
    Peace was gained at the cost of three lives.
[04:57] Hua Cheng
    I would do the same.
[05:00] Hua Cheng
    You've done nothing wrong.
[05:03] Hua Cheng
    Nobody could do a better job than you did.
[05:07] Xie Lian
    I just can't accept it...
[05:11] Xie Lian
    Someone who extended a hand in
    good faith should be rewarded...
[05:17] Xie Lian
    Even if it's a lie... I wanted
    Qianqiu to believe that.
[05:22] Xie Lian
    To believe that, if you did the right thing without
    hesitation, everything would work out fine...
[05:28] Xie Lian
    But now look at me.
[05:30] Xie Lian
    It's all turned to lies,
[05:32] Xie Lian
    turned to hypocrisy,
[05:34] Xie Lian
    turned to ridiculous nonsense...
[05:37] Xie Lian
    I'm sorry.
[05:44] Xie Lian
    Even I'm sick of it.
[05:47] Xie Lian
    I didn't want anyone to suffer like this.
[05:52] Xie Lian
    But look at how the world works.
[05:57] Xie Lian
    The previous Yong An royals were never
    punished for the awful things they did.
[06:03] Xie Lian
    But Lang Qianqiu's parents tried to
[06:06] Xie Lian
    make the world a better place out
    of the goodness of their hearts,
[06:09] Xie Lian
    and met such an awful end.
[06:14] Xie Lian
    I can't forget it...
[06:15] Xie Lian
    that moment when I killed him.
[06:26] Hua Cheng
    It's Anle and Qi Rong's fault.
[06:34] Xie Lian
    Everything was going fine.
[06:36] Xie Lian
    When Lang Qianqiu's father took the throne,
[06:38] Xie Lian
    he changed the way the Xianle
    people were treated.
[06:41] Xie Lian
    The people of both kingdoms were
    gradually coming to accept each other.
[06:47] Xie Lian
    Things were finally about to change!
[06:50] Xie Lian
    So why?!
[07:00] (Flashback) Xie Lian
    Anle!
[07:01] (Flashback) Xie Lian
    Do you understand the mistake you've made?
[07:02] (Flashback) Anle
    So you were the Imperial Preceptor!
[07:05] (Flashback) Anle
    You had them all fooled!
[07:07] (Flashback) Anle
    I'm so glad... Now we can work
    together to achieve something great!
[07:12] (Flashback) Anle
    Now that the Golden Feast is over,
    it's time to kill Lang Qianqiu!
[07:16] (Flashback) Anle
    Yong An will fall into chaos, and
    then the real nightmare begins!
[07:22] Xie Lian
    But still... I killed him.
[07:26] Xie Lian
    No matter the circumstances
    or what reasons I had,
[07:30] Xie Lian
    that fact won't change.
[07:32] Xie Lian
    Qi Rong was right about one thing:
[07:36] Xie Lian
    I'm a failure.
[07:38] Hua Cheng
    Don't believe a word that loser says.
[07:41] Hua Cheng
    He's just hard to kill and quick to run away.
[07:43] Hua Cheng
    Even after 800 years he
    failed to become Supreme.
[07:46] Hua Cheng
    Punching him would just dirty your hand.
[07:51] Xie Lian
    I'm no different...
[07:55] Xie Lian
    When I reunited with Lang Qianqiu, he had
    the same honesty and kindness as before.
[08:00] Xie Lian
    I felt so much better.
[08:04] Xie Lian
    But how will this change him?
[08:09] Xie Lian
    How will he settle things with
    me after he finds Qi Rong?
[08:36] Xie Lian
    There may still be surviving
    people in the caves.
[08:39] Xie Lian
    Let's save them.
[08:45] Hua Cheng
    All right.
[08:53] Ghosts
    Right this way!
[08:58] Ghosts
    Please, come this way!
[09:00] Ghosts
    The last group is here.
[09:02] Hua Cheng
    Let them go!
[09:04] Ghosts
    Right away!
[09:08] Men
    Don't hurt me!
[09:09] Men
    Let me out! Let me out!
[09:14] Men
    They came to set us free!
[09:17] Men
    We're free to go?
[09:18] Ghosts
    Go.
[09:19] Men
    Really?
[09:20] Ghosts
    Get going.
[09:27] Xie Lian
    By the way, Sanlang.
[09:29] Xie Lian
    I was so sure the Golden Feast
    massacre was Anle's doing alone.
[09:33] Xie Lian
    I had no idea Qi Rong was behind it.
[09:37] Xie Lian
    How did you know?
[09:39] Xie Lian
    And how did you find out so quickly?
[09:42] Hua Cheng
    No, it wasn't quick.
[09:45] Hua Cheng
    I've fought him a few times.
[09:47] Hua Cheng
    I know how he thinks.
[09:50] Hua Cheng
    There've been other times in the past
    where the Yong An royals were attacked,
[09:53] Hua Cheng
    and he was behind them, too.
[09:55] Hua Cheng
    He just never let himself get caught.
[09:59] Xie Lian
    So he's done it before?
[10:01] Xie Lian
    If the Heavenly Court found out he was
    causing trouble in the human world,
[10:05] Xie Lian
    they wouldn't be happy.
[10:07] Hua Cheng
    And the Golden Feast massacre
    matched his methods perfectly.
[10:12] Hua Cheng
    That's why I was sure Imperial
    Preceptor Fangxin was his pawn.
[10:19] Hua Cheng
    But...
[10:21] Hua Cheng
    When Lang Qianqiu said that you
    were the Imperial Preceptor,
[10:25] Hua Cheng
    I realized that the Imperial Preceptor
    couldn't be working with Qi Rong.
[10:29] Xie Lian
    Sanlang seems to know all about the
    history between me and Qi Rong,
[10:34] Xie Lian
    and the struggles we've had.
[10:35] Hua Cheng
    That only made me more certain
    Qi Rong was behind it.
[10:39] Hua Cheng
    At least, he was the instigator, I'm sure.
[10:43] Hua Cheng
    Xianle and Yong An share the same origin.
[10:46] Hua Cheng
    Once their position became better,
[10:47] Hua Cheng
    the people of Xianle would stop caring about
    revenge or rebuilding their lost nation.
[10:52] Hua Cheng
    So there was only one man
    for Qi Rong to manipulate...
[10:56] Hua Cheng
    the sole heir to the Xianle
    Royal Family, King Anle.
[11:02] Hua Cheng
    Shortly after the Golden Feast,
    though, he died of an illness.
[11:06] Hua Cheng
    There had to be a reason for that.
[11:10] Hua Cheng
    My first suspicion was the people of Xianle.
[11:13] Hua Cheng
    But then it didn't make sense
    that the people of Xianle
[11:18] Hua Cheng
    didn't become a target for revenge.
[11:20] Hua Cheng
    I started eliminating possibilities,
    until this was the only one left.
[11:25] Xie Lian
    You got so much right with so few clues.
[11:30] Hua Cheng
    I just understood well...
[11:34] Xie Lian
    Yes, he understood well.
[11:40] Xie Lian
    But there's one thing you just had to assume.
[11:43] Xie Lian
    Why were you so sure that
    Qi Rong was the instigator?
[11:49] Hua Cheng
    I didn't believe he did it.
[11:52] Hua Cheng
    I was simply sure that you didn't.
[11:58] Xie Lian
    Why?
[12:00] Hua Cheng
    You said the Golden Feast
    massacre was your doing, right?
[12:03] Hua Cheng
    The King of Yong An was
    trusted by his people,
[12:07] Hua Cheng
    but you claimed you couldn't bear
    to see him sitting on the throne:
[12:12] Hua Cheng
    exactly what you would
    expect an assassin to say.
[12:16] Hua Cheng
    But in your case, you just
    bore the burden of that sin.
[12:20] Xie Lian
    Burden?
[12:23] Xie Lian
    And what if I really did think I couldn't
    bear to see him on the throne?
[12:27] Hua Cheng
    Even if you did, you wouldn't do anything.
[12:31] Xie Lian
    Sanlang, I'm not who you think I am.
[12:36] Xie Lian
    So...
[12:37] Hua Cheng
    Don't worry. Go ahead.
[12:41] Xie Lian
    Don't try to understand me too much.
[12:45] Xie Lian
    It's okay to watch someone from afar...
[12:49] Men
    Curse you, Prince of Xianle!
[12:49] Xie Lian
    But once you get close and
    know who someone really is...
[12:53] Xie Lian
    Your fantasy that that person
    is perfect will fall apart.
[12:59] Xie Lian
    And in the end, you'll be disappointed.
[13:01] Hua Cheng
    I don't know about that.
[13:03] Hua Cheng
    It doesn't matter who they disappointed,
[13:07] Hua Cheng
    because to someone in the world,
    that person's very existence was hope.
[13:15] Xie Lian
    Sanlang, who are you here?
[13:19] Xie Lian
    You seem to know exactly who
    Qi Rong is, and who I am.
[13:26] Hua Cheng
    Haven't I always known a lot?
[13:29] Xie Lian
    No, that's not what I'm asking.
[13:33] Xie Lian
    I've always had this feeling
    I've met you in the past.
[13:37] Xie Lian
    Did I meet you during my first ascension?
[13:41] Xie Lian
    No... even before that.
[13:44] Xie Lian
    Sanlang, who are you?
[13:49] Xie Lian
    Have I met you before?
[14:01] Xie Lian
    No...
[14:03] Xie Lian
    A ghost always keeps their true name secret.
[14:04] Xie Lian
    He wouldn't tell me.
[14:07] Xie Lian
    Sorry, don't worry about it.
[14:09] Xie Lian
    I was just curious.
[14:10] Xie Lian
    It doesn't matter who you are.
[14:14] Shi Qingxuan
    I told you. You're more powerful and luckier
    in female form, but you refuse to do it.
[14:21] Shi Qingxuan
    Well? You saw, right?
[14:22] Shi Qingxuan
    This time, the right number came up.
[14:25] Xie Lian
    Wind Master!
[14:28] Shi Qingxuan
    Is that you, Prince?
[14:31] Shi Qingxuan
    Oh my, and Crimson Rain Sought Flower, too.
[14:44] Feng Xin
    Did you find them? Well?
[14:47] Xie Lian
    Feng Xin?!
[14:56] Xie Lian
    Come here, Prince!
[15:01] Xie Lian
    Calm down.
[15:02] Xie Lian
    Put down your weapons...
[15:13] Shi Qingxuan
    Hua Cheng! Crimson Rain Sought Flower!
[15:15] Shi Qingxuan
    Don't get so mad, okay?
[15:17] Shi Qingxuan
    The burning of Paradise
    Manor was an accident!
[15:20] Shi Qingxuan
    If you're upset, we'll pay for it.
[15:23] Shi Qingxuan
    His Majesty has the money.
[15:25] Shi Qingxuan
    So let the prince go, and we can all go home.
[15:27] Xie Lian
    Wind Master, you seem to misunderstand.
[15:30] Xie Lian
    I'm not...
[15:36] Xie Lian
    What are you doing?
[15:38] Shi Qingxuan
    We still haven't dealt with the
    matter of the spies you sent.
[15:42] Shi Qingxuan
    Do you think you have the
    right to negotiate with me?
[15:48] Xie Lian
    You can knock the act off, guys.
[15:50] Xie Lian
    Sanlang came to help me out
    of the goodness of his heart.
[15:53] Xie Lian
    There's no need to hide that.
[15:56] Shi Qingxuan
    All right. We'll call off the act.
[15:58] Shi Qingxuan
    I already sent that conversation
    to the spirit communication array.
[16:01] Shi Qingxuan
    My prince, if your good intentions were
    going to be interpreted as evil intentions,
[16:06] Shi Qingxuan
    you should've just started
    with evil intentions!
[16:08] Shi Qingxuan
    They wouldn't have suspected you then!
[16:10] Hua Cheng
    What you say makes sense.
[16:12] Shi Qingxuan
    Of course it does.
[16:14] Shi Qingxuan
    Do you think I could survive in
    the Heavenly Court otherwise?
[16:18] Shi Qingxuan
    General Nan Yang, put down your bow.
[16:22] Shi Qingxuan
    Put down the bow.
[16:23] Shi Qingxuan
    They're both good friends.
[16:25] Shi Qingxuan
    There's no evil intentions there.
[16:26] Feng
    Prince, come here!
[16:28] Feng
    He's a Supreme!
[16:29] Shi Qingxuan
    Stop it!
[16:29] Shi Qingxuan
    Nobody's listening to a word I say...
[16:31] Shi Qingxuan
    Put down your bow.
[16:33] Feng
    Damn it! Get your hands off me!
[16:36] Shi Qingxuan
    And what are you trying to do?
[16:37] Feng
    Get your breasts away from me!
[16:39] Shi Qingxuan
    Crimson Rain Sought Flower
    went to save the prince.
[16:42] Shi Qingxuan
    And you pointed a bow at him?
[16:43] Shi Qingxuan
    Do you want a fight that badly?
[16:43] Feng
    Stop! What are you doing?
[16:45] Shi Qingxuan
    I'm not getting involved.
[16:48] Feng
    Never do that again!
[16:50] Feng
    Never again!
[16:51] Feng
    Got it?
[16:52] Shi Qingxuan
    Hey, don't you think you're overreacting?
[16:55] Feng
    Stay away! Stay back!
[16:58] Feng
    Get away from me!
[16:59] Shi Qingxuan
    Fine.
[17:00] Feng
    Go back to normal!
[17:02] Shi Qingxuan
    How rude.
[17:02] Feng
    Can't you hear me?
[17:04] Shi Qingxuan
    It's not hurting you, is it?
[17:13] Shi Qingxuan
    Huh? Where's Qianqiu?
[17:16] Xie Lian
    He's not in the spirit communication array?
[17:18] Shi Qingxuan
    He's not.
[17:18] Shi Qingxuan
    I kept reaching out to him,
    but he never responded.
[17:23] Shi Qingxuan
    Normally he responds immediately,
    even to a minor priest.
[17:27] Shi Qingxuan
    He's acting really odd.
[17:31] Xie Lian
    He went to chase after Qi Rong.
[17:34] Xie Lian
    This is Qi Rong's lair.
[17:36] Feng
    Wait. Why?
[17:38] Hua Cheng
    What do you mean?
[17:40] Hua Cheng
    He's simply gone after the true mastermind
    behind the Golden Feast massacre.
[17:43] Feng
    The true mastermind? Really?
[17:46] Xie Lian
    It's a little complicated.
    I'll tell you later.
[17:50] Shi Qingxuan
    So it was a misunderstanding!
[17:52] Shi Qingxuan
    I was absolutely right!
[17:54] Shi Qingxuan
    You won't be punished even if you go back.
[17:57] Feng
    I see.
[17:58] Xie Lian
    Feng Xin.
[17:59] Xie Lian
    By Qi Rong, I mean that Qi Rong.
[18:03] Feng
    Which Qi Rong?
[18:05] Feng
    Don't tell me... the Qi Rong we know?
[18:10] Feng
    Why would a ghost share their
    true name with everyone?
[18:15] Feng
    It's insane!
[18:22] Shi Qingxuan
    You know the Green Immortal?
[18:25] Xie Lian
    He's my younger cousin.
[18:27] Shi Qingxuan
    Wow!
[18:30] Xie Lian
    Yes, he is amazing, but...
[18:32] Shi Qingxuan
    No, I mean you're amazing!
[18:36] Shi Qingxuan
    Right?
[18:37] Shi Qingxuan
    The Martial Gods of the Southeast and
    Southwest are your old acquaintances.
[18:41] Shi Qingxuan
    The Martial God of the East is your student.
[18:43] Shi Qingxuan
    The Green Immortal Qi Rong is your cousin.
[18:46] Shi Qingxuan
    And Crimson Rain Sought Flower, the ruler
    of the Ghost City, is your sworn brother.
[18:50] Shi Qingxuan
    And I, the Wind Master, am your friend!
[18:52] Shi Qingxuan
    That's plenty amazing!
[18:56] Xie Lian
    He truly is the master of the wind.
[18:58] Xie Lian
    A strong wind that passes
    through, blowing away the gloom.
[19:08] Feng
    If there's nothing else to do here,
[19:09] Feng
    I'd like to get back to the
    Heavenly Capital and explain
[19:12] Feng
    what's going on to the Emperor.
[19:15] Hua Cheng
    I thought you were the straightforward type,
[19:17] Hua Cheng
    but I guess you like to
    beat around the bush, too.
[19:21] Hua Cheng
    You don't want your prince hanging
    out with a monster like me, right?
[19:25] Hua Cheng
    What's wrong? Why don't you
    just come out and say so?
[19:28] Hua Cheng
    'cause you're in no position to do so?
[19:30] Feng
    He shouldn't be here with you.
[19:33] Xie Lian
    Sanlang...
[19:36] Xie Lian
    Of course I'll explain,
[19:38] Xie Lian
    but there's something I need to do here.
[19:41] Xie Lian
    Thanks to Sanlang, I was able
    to save the people trapped here.
[19:46] Xie Lian
    I'll deal with the remaining
    ghosts here before heading back.
[19:51] Feng
    You don't need to stay here.
[19:52] Feng
    Go back, and leave this to me.
[19:56] Hua Cheng
    At the rate the Heavenly Court works,
    it'll be a month until you finish it all.
[20:01] Feng
    And of course, you could do it in an instant?
[20:04] Shi Qingxuan
    What's going on?
[20:06] Shi Qingxuan
    Do you two hate each other?
[20:16] Xie Lian
    Sanlang, why are you holding your umbrella?
[20:19] Hua Cheng
    Just wait.
[20:21] Hua Cheng
    Even as we speak... a storm is approaching.
[20:36] Shi Qingxuan
    Where's this rain coming from?
[20:40] Shi Qingxuan
    It stopped...
[20:42] Xie Lian
    What's this?
[20:51] Shi Qingxuan
    General Nan Yang, are you okay?
[20:53] Shi Qingxuan
    You just stood there while the rain fell...
[20:59] Xie Lian
    Feng Xin, you okay?
[21:01] Shi Qingxuan
    Let's wipe you clean a little more.
[21:02] Xie Lian
    It got all over your face.
[21:05] Hua Cheng
    See? It only took an instant.
[21:08] Hua Cheng
    Well?
[21:10] Feng
    Enough. Your feather duster is
    smearing it all over my face.
[21:18] Xie Lian
    Sanlang!
[21:20] Xie Lian
    Are you going back to the City of Ghosts?
[21:23] Hua Cheng
    Are you going to the Heavenly Capital?
[21:27] Hua Cheng
    But if you want to come to the City
    of Ghosts with me, I'll welcome you.
[21:32] Xie Lian
    I'll go another time!
[21:34] Xie Lian
    When you rebuild Paradise
    Manor, I'll help carry bricks!
[21:41] Hua Cheng
    There's no need for that.
[21:43] Hua Cheng
    You can just sit and watch.
[21:46] Xie Lian
    Either way, I'm grateful
    for your help with Qianqiu.
[21:53] Xie Lian
    I don't know what's right here,
[21:56] Xie Lian
    but this isn't so bad.
[21:59] Hua Cheng
    You're thinking too much.
[22:02] Hua Cheng
    Do as you like.
