[00:03] ---
    Gotcha! Gotcha!
[00:05] ---
    Where do you think you're
    running off to, huh?
[00:06] ---
    How dare this guy steal from me!
[00:08] ---
    I am gonna peel his skin off!
[00:11] ---
    I say we give him
[00:11] ---
    a good thrashing one more
    time and be done with it!
[00:14] ---
    What the heck?
[00:15] ---
    Where did you come from?
[00:18] ---
    Just as I suspected, it's the
    bandaged youth from Mount Yujun.
[00:21] ---
    No wonder the Hall of Ling Wen couldn't find
    him in the mortal realm for several days.
[00:22] ---
    You're just getting in the
    way, cramping my style!
[00:24] ---
    Hey! I'm talking to you!
[00:24] ---
    He must have escaped into the Ghost Realm...
[00:26] ---
    Get out of my way, will you!
[00:28] ---
    What the hell are you all doing?!
[00:29] ---
    Qianqiu?!
[00:35] ---
    Qianqiu!
[00:36] ---
    I thought we agreed you
    wouldn't be impulsive anymore!
[00:37] ---
    What's wrong with these people?
[00:38] ---
    Wind Master,
[00:38] ---
    They all seem to love getting beaten up!
[00:39] ---
    my apologies.
[00:41] ---
    This is...
[00:42] ---
    the last time!!
[00:45] ---
    I never want to go on patrols
    with you ever again!
[00:50] ---
    This little brat is afraid
    someone will mess with his face!
[00:55] ---
    Are you alright?
[01:03] ---
    lt's all right.
[01:05] ---
    Here,
[01:06] ---
    let me help you up.
[01:12] ---
    Wait a moment!
[01:16] ---
    What the hell is this guy?
[01:17] ---
    Come back!
[01:18] ---
    Who asked you to meddle in our business?
[01:19] ---
    He must know that little brat!
[01:21] ---
    Let's get him!
[01:21] ---
    Grab him!
[01:22] ---
    Oh no,
[01:23] ---
    we can't let them catch up to us now...
[01:27] ---
    I'm sorry!
[01:28] ---
    Your Excellencies.
[01:29] ---
    I'll leave it to you here!
[01:30] ---
    Let's split up for now
[01:32] ---
    and meet back in this place in three - days!
[01:51] ---
    Damn it!
[01:52] ---
    Who's the idiot!
[01:54] ---
    I'm truly sorry!
[01:55] ---
    I didn't mean to...
[01:57] ---
    Can you please let me go
    first to find someone?
[01:58] ---
    I promise I'll compensate you later...
[02:00] ---
    You wish!
[02:01] ---
    Compensate later?
[02:02] ---
    If you want to compensate, do it now!
[02:03] ---
    That's right!
[02:04] ---
    Teach him a lesson.
[02:06] ---
    How dare him to cause trouble here!
[02:06] ---
    This person bumped into me earlier too!
[02:08] ---
    Grab him tight!
[02:09] ---
    Don't let him escape!
[02:09] ---
    Let's stew this pretty boy
    up for a late-night snack!
[02:11] ---
    Stop messing around, everyone,
[02:13] ---
    move!
[02:14] ---
    It's Waning Moon Officer!
[02:16] ---
    Why is he here?
[02:22] ---
    Esteemed DaoZhang,
[02:24] ---
    the Lord of the City requests your presence.
[02:28] ---
    Me?
[02:29] ---
    The Lord of the City requested him?
[02:31] ---
    Am I hearing things right?
[02:32] ---
    Who is this person?
[02:33] ---
    Our Lord has never invited an outsider
[02:35] ---
    to his cozy nest before.
[02:37] ---
    Exactly.
[02:38] ---
    The Lord of the City has been waiting at
    the Paradise Manor for quite some time.
[02:41] ---
    Please come with me.
[03:02] ---
    Curse shackle?
[03:03] ---
    We're almost there,
[03:04] ---
    it's just up ahead.
[05:14] ---
    Please, this way.
[05:15] ---
    Thank you for your help.
[05:39] ---
    San Lang...
[05:47] ---
    A hall made of gold foil?
[05:49] ---
    This used to be a game I often played
[05:51] ---
    in the Xianle Palace when I was young...
[05:52] ---
    Your Highness...
[05:53] ---
    you should go back soon,
[05:55] ---
    or you'll catch a cold.
[06:00] ---
    Silly child...
[06:02] ---
    Mother...
[06:04] ---
    Even if the Golden Foil Hall
    collapses, we can build it again.
[06:07] ---
    But if my child you can't
    eat well, sleep well,
[06:11] ---
    or fals ill,
[06:12] ---
    what will we do then?
[06:15] ---
    I just...
[06:17] ---
    I can't bear to see them scattered!
[06:22] ---
    Come,
[06:23] ---
    let's go ask your father for some paper pulp.
[06:26] ---
    That way, they will never
    separate for their entire lives,
[06:29] ---
    okay?
[06:30] ---
    Yes!
[06:32] ---
    Let's go.
[06:37] ---
    In those young days,
[06:38] ---
    I loved gatherings and hated partings.
[06:40] ---
    Thanks to my father and mother's
    patience, they would indulge me...
[06:44] ---
    San Lang, this intricate and
    delicate golden foil hall
[06:47] ---
    must have required a lot of effort to create,
[06:49] ---
    stacking piece by piece...
[06:57] ---
    Lian, since you're here,
[06:59] ---
    why haven't you come forward all this time?
[07:01] ---
    Could it be...
[07:03] ---
    I have already become a stranger to you
    after just a few days of being apart?
[07:06] ---
    Earlier at the gambling house,
[07:08] ---
    it was you who pretended not
    to recognize me first...
[07:11] ---
    At that time, Lang Qianqiu was present,
[07:12] ---
    so I didn't want to casually acknowledge you
[07:14] ---
    and potentially cause trouble for you, Lian.
[07:17] ---
    San Lang, you're as knowledgeable as ever.
[07:21] ---
    Lian,
[07:22] ---
    did you come here specifically to see me?
[07:30] ---
    Regardless of whether you
    came to see me or not...
[07:32] ---
    as long as you're here,
[07:34] ---
    I'm happy...
[07:40] ---
    Lian,
[07:42] ---
    come over here and sit.
[07:43] ---
    Mm.
[07:48] ---
    By the way,
[07:49] ---
    San Lang, is this your true face?
[07:52] ---
    I've mentioned it before.
[07:54] ---
    The next time I see you,
[07:56] ---
    I will reveal my true face...
[07:58] ---
    That's good.
[08:02] ---
    By the way...
[08:06] ---
    Is
[08:07] ---
    this something you left behind?
[08:10] ---
    It's not anything valuable,
[08:12] ---
    just take it as something
    fun to have with you.
[08:14] ---
    Fine.
[08:17] ---
    Earlier at the gambling house,
[08:18] ---
    I heard you say you were coming here.
[08:20] ---
    I thought this...
[08:22] ---
    was some kind of brothel.
[08:24] ---
    But now,
[08:25] ---
    it looks more like a music and dance hall.
[08:26] ---
    What are you suggesting, Lian?
[08:29] ---
    I never go to a brothel.
[08:32] ---
    Really?
[08:34] ---
    Of course, it's true.
[08:35] ---
    This place is just one of the
    residences I created for fun.
[08:41] ---
    So this is your home.
[08:43] ---
    Residence.
[08:44] ---
    Not a home.
[08:45] ---
    Is there a difference?
[08:47] ---
    A home has family.
[08:48] ---
    A place where one lives alone
[08:50] ---
    is not called a home.
[08:52] ---
    In this case,
[08:54] ---
    these 800 years...
[08:55] ---
    I guess I am also...
[08:57] ---
    If it's a home,
[08:58] ---
    even a tiny place like the Chestnut Temple
[09:00] ---
    is a thousand times better
    than my Paradise Manor.
[09:04] ---
    I didn't expect
[09:05] ---
    San Lang you to be such
    a sentimental person...
[09:08] ---
    To be honest,
[09:09] ---
    I felt more at home when
    I was at your place, Lian.
[09:12] ---
    Really?
[09:14] ---
    If San Lang you don't mind,
[09:16] ---
    Chestnut Temple welcomes you
    to come and stay anytime.
[09:19] ---
    Lian,
[09:20] ---
    since you said so,
[09:21] ---
    I'll respectfully follow your command.
[09:24] ---
    But from now on, don't complain
    that I'm being a nuisance.
[09:25] ---
    No, never!
[09:29] ---
    By the way, San Lang,
[09:30] ---
    there's something I wanted to ask...
[09:32] ---
    In my place,
[09:34] ---
    you can speak your mind freely,
[09:35] ---
    no need to hold back.
[09:36] ---
    Well...
[09:38] ---
    could you help me find a young boy?
[09:41] ---
    Earlier, I had an encounter with
    a young boy in Mount Yujun.
[09:42] ---
    His face was covered in bandages.
[09:45] ---
    There may be some connection
    to my former kingdom...
[09:49] ---
    It's also my fault...
[09:50] ---
    I wasn't able to keep him at that time.
[09:52] ---
    But unexpectedly,
[09:53] ---
    I bumped into him again in this
    The City of Ghost of yours!
[10:06] ---
    Don't worry, Lian,
[10:08] ---
    just wait.
[10:09] ---
    I'm really grateful to you.
[10:11] ---
    No big deal.
[10:13] ---
    But...
[10:15] ---
    did you just leave Lang Qianqiu like that?
[10:17] ---
    Sorry.
[10:18] ---
    Earlier at the gambling house,
[10:19] ---
    Prince Taihua caused trouble for you.
[10:22] ---
    That's not true.
[10:23] ---
    He doesn't qualify as trouble.
[10:26] ---
    San Lang,
[10:27] ---
    don't you care about having
    a heavenly official wandering
[10:29] ---
    around your territory?
[10:32] ---
    Lian,
[10:34] ---
    you're not aware of this.
[10:37] ---
    In this place of mine,
[10:38] ---
    although everyone
[10:39] ---
    in the Three Realms says it's a
    chaotic, hellish place with demons
[10:41] ---
    and turbid currents...
[10:43] ---
    But in reality?
[10:46] ---
    Even you heavenly officials
    disguise themselves
[10:48] ---
    and come here to engage in shady activities.
[10:52] ---
    I've seen enough...
[10:54] ---
    As long as they don't cause
    trouble, I can't be bothered...
[10:57] ---
    But if things escalate,
[10:58] ---
    that's even better...
[11:00] ---
    I'll take care of it all.
[11:02] ---
    Prince Taihua
[11:03] ---
    didn't do it on purpose.
[11:05] ---
    He just wanted to stop that gambling game.
[11:07] ---
    It was an impulse.
[11:09] ---
    That's because he lacks experience.
[11:12] ---
    When faced with a choice between
    prolonging his own life by ten years
[11:14] ---
    or shortening the enemy's
    life by ten years...
[11:16] ---
    People instinctively
[11:19] ---
    choose the latter.
[11:22] ---
    If fools like Lang Qianqiu can ascend,
[11:24] ---
    then the heavenly realm is
    truly lacking in talent...
[11:27] ---
    That’s not true.
[11:29] ---
    After all, even someone like
    me has ascended three times...
[11:33] ---
    San Lang,
[11:34] ---
    what I'm about to say
[11:36] ---
    may be a bit presumptuous,
[11:37] ---
    but I still want to say it.
[11:39] ---
    I'm worried ....
[11:41] ---
    about your gambling house...
[11:43] ---
    Your Highness,
[11:44] ---
    have you asked Lang Qianqiu
[11:45] ---
    why he rushed out?
[11:48] ---
    If I don't do it,
[11:49] ---
    no one else will do.
[11:51] ---
    I guess
[11:52] ---
    he told you that.
[11:55] ---
    Yes, he did say that.
[11:57] ---
    Well,
[11:58] ---
    I'm completely the opposite.
[12:01] ---
    The City of Ghost's gambling house is a
    place where everyone wants a piece of the action,
[12:05] ---
    a gathering place for endless
    disputes and profits...
[12:08] ---
    Since that's the case,
[12:09] ---
    instead of letting it fall
    into someone else's hands,
[12:12] ---
    it's better to have it under my control.
[12:15] ---
    San Lang seems particularly
    concerned about the power
[12:18] ---
    he can wield...
[12:19] ---
    But
[12:20] ---
    thank you for your concern, Lian.
[12:24] ---
    Lord,
[12:25] ---
    I found him.
[12:27] ---
    Bring him here.
[12:45] ---
    Don't be afraid.
[12:47] ---
    Last time was my fault,
[12:48] ---
    it won't happen again.
[12:59] ---
    Suit yourself,
[13:00] ---
    no need to ask me.
[13:01] ---
    Thanks a lot.
[13:07] ---
    You...
[13:08] ---
    must be starving, huh?
[13:12] ---
    Take your time eating,
[13:14] ---
    there is no rush.
[13:15] ---
    By the way,
[13:16] ---
    what's your name?
[13:19] ---
    He probably hasn't spoken to people in years,
[13:21] ---
    so he's not very talkative.
[13:23] ---
    That makes sense.
[13:25] ---
    Take it slow.
[13:38] ---
    Don't be afraid,
[13:39] ---
    I'll take care of your wound.
[13:45] ---
    If it wasn't for the multi-face
    epidemic back then,
[13:48] ---
    this face...
[13:50] ---
    shouldn't have turned out like this...
[13:52] ---
    Let me do it.
[13:54] ---
    No,
[13:55] ---
    I'll handle it myself.
[14:02] ---
    Are you...
[14:03] ---
    from Xianle Kingdom?
[14:07] ---
    Yong An!
[14:19] ---
    You're from Yong An...
[14:20] ---
    Have you ever seen the White Cloak Calamity?
[14:22] ---
    Lian...
[14:24] ---
    I'm sorry,
[14:25] ---
    I'm sorry...
[14:26] ---
    You're exhausted,
[14:28] ---
    rest first.
[14:29] ---
    Someone, come here!
[14:33] ---
    Lian,
[14:34] ---
    let me help you up.
[14:37] ---
    It's okay,
[14:38] ---
    I'll come find you later.
[14:42] ---
    Sit down and rest for now.
[14:43] ---
    If you have any questions,
[14:45] ---
    I'll make him spill everything.
[14:46] ---
    No, there is no need!
[14:48] ---
    If he can't say anything,
[14:49] ---
    then let it be.
[14:50] ---
    Take it slow...
[14:56] ---
    Lian,
[14:57] ---
    I'll be back
[14:58] ---
    in a moment.
[15:00] ---
    Warning sign?
[15:02] ---
    Could it be that Wind Master and Qianqiu
[15:03] ---
    got into some trouble?
[15:05] ---
    I should go and have a look too.
[15:06] ---
    Don't worry,
[15:07] ---
    it's not Lang Qianqiu and the others.
[15:09] ---
    I'll be right back.
[15:24] ---
    San Lang came through for me once again.
[15:26] ---
    I can't keep bothering him
[15:28] ---
    with what's to come...
[15:31] ---
    Oh,
[15:32] ---
    I almost forgot about the main business.
[15:40] ---
    Who?
[15:43] ---
    Is it the Waning Moon Officer?!
[15:48] ---
    This person has a curse shackle on his wrist.
[15:50] ---
    I wonder what his identity is.
[15:59] ---
    Where is he heading to?
[16:41] ---
    What you fear the most
    tends to come your way.
[16:49] ---
    What is he doing here?
[16:53] ---
    Dice?
[16:59] ---
    This door...
[17:00] ---
    seems to be unlocked?
[17:06] ---
    This small building doesn't look big at all.
[17:08] ---
    How could there be no sound
[17:10] ---
    when someone goes inside?
[17:16] ---
    Exactly!
[17:18] ---
    There's a spell lock on this door.
[17:21] ---
    The secret lies in those two dices.
[17:25] ---
    It seems I need to roll two sixes to
[17:27] ---
    open the door and reveal
    the true destination.
[17:32] ---
    Is this spell lock specifically
    meant to stop me?
[17:37] ---
    I could roll forever and still not get it...
[17:48] ---
    Lian,
[17:49] ---
    it takes me forever to find you.
[17:52] ---
    I was just...
[17:53] ---
    thinking of going to see that
    child and ended up running out.
[17:56] ---
    If you want to see him,
[17:58] ---
    I can send someone to bring him over.
[18:00] ---
    There is no need for you
    to go find him personally.
[18:02] ---
    I didn't expect your place to be so big.
[18:04] ---
    I got lost while trying to find my way.
[18:07] ---
    That's alright.
[18:09] ---
    I have a place I want to show you, Lian.
[18:12] ---
    Would you be willing to
    grace me with your presence?
[18:15] ---
    Of course.
[18:22] ---
    By the way, did you resolve
    everything so quickly?
[18:26] ---
    It's taken care of,
[18:27] ---
    but it's just a bunch of useless
    people making fools of themselves.
[18:29] ---
    Useless people?
[18:30] ---
    Are you referring to Green Immor Qi Rong?
[18:32] ---
    Indeed.
[18:33] ---
    That useless fool has
    been eyeing my territory
[18:35] ---
    and often sends lackeys to cause trouble.
[18:38] ---
    Overestimating his abilities!
[18:40] ---
    Lian, don't worry about it.
[18:43] ---
    Here we are.
[19:06] ---
    Lian.
[19:19] ---
    Can I touch
[19:21] ---
    the weapons here?
[19:22] ---
    Feel free, Lian.
[19:27] ---
    These...
[19:28] ---
    are all treasures!
[19:30] ---
    This sword,
[19:31] ---
    in a battle against many,
    can display divine skills.
[19:34] ---
    And this sword too!
[19:35] ---
    Wait,
[19:36] ---
    this one also...
[19:36] ---
    How do you feel about them, Lian?
[19:38] ---
    How about what?
[19:39] ---
    Do you like
[19:40] ---
    these swords?
[19:41] ---
    I do.
[19:42] ---
    Do you really like them?
[19:43] ---
    I really do!
[19:45] ---
    Since you like them so much,
[19:47] ---
    I'll give them all to you.
[19:50] ---
    No, no, no.
[19:51] ---
    I haven't used a sword in years...
[19:53] ---
    liking something doesn't mean
    I have to take it in my hands.
[19:56] ---
    Just looking at them brings me joy.
[19:58] ---
    Then I'll also give you this room.
[20:01] ---
    You don't have to take it with you,
[20:02] ---
    but visit them whenever you have time.
[20:07] ---
    That's enough,
[20:08] ---
    the armory still needs someone to
    clean and take care of it daily.
[20:11] ---
    I'm afraid I won't do justice to them.
[20:14] ---
    I used to have
[20:15] ---
    an armory like this,
[20:17] ---
    but it was destroyed...
[20:20] ---
    These weapons are
[20:21] ---
    all rare treasures.
[20:23] ---
    San Lang, you must cherish them.
[20:24] ---
    That's simple,
[20:26] ---
    I'll help you clean the armory.
[20:29] ---
    How could I let His Majesty the
    Ghost King do chores for me?
[20:45] ---
    But, San Lang,
[20:46] ---
    these weapons
[20:48] ---
    can't compare to your infamous
    Deadly Scimitar, right?
[20:51] ---
    Have you also heard of my scimitar?
[20:54] ---
    I've heard a little.
[20:55] ---
    I guess
[20:56] ---
    it's not good news, then.
[20:58] ---
    Like this scimitar of mine...
[21:00] ---
    was it forged using the blood
    of the living as sacrifice?
[21:03] ---
    Hmm.
[21:05] ---
    But gossip is just gossip,
[21:07] ---
    and the wise don't pay it much heed.
[21:08] ---
    Rumors
[21:09] ---
    are not to be believed by everyone.
[21:13] ---
    I wonder if
[21:14] ---
    I'm fortunate enough to lay my eyes
    upon that legendary Deadly Scimitar?
[21:17] ---
    Lian,
[21:18] ---
    actually,
[21:19] ---
    you've already seen it.
[21:21] ---
    Look,
[21:23] ---
    this is it.
[21:27] ---
    So...
[21:29] ---
    Hello there.
[21:32] ---
    Lian,
[21:33] ---
    it likes you.
[21:35] ---
    Really?
[21:36] ---
    Yes,
[21:37] ---
    really.
[21:38] ---
    It doesn't pay attention to those
[21:39] ---
    it doesn't like.
[21:41] ---
    The Deadly Scimitar doesn't
    easily take a liking to anyone.
[21:44] ---
    Well, thank you.
[21:45] ---
    I quite like you too.
[21:50] ---
    No.
[21:53] ---
    Are you saying "no" to it?
[21:55] ---
    It wants you to touch it,
[21:56] ---
    but I said no.
[21:58] ---
    What's wrong with that?
[22:03] ---
    Normally, I attract the affection of animals,
[22:05] ---
    but I never expected to also
    attract the affection of a weapon.
[22:12] ---
    This is not some bloodthirsty
    demon scimitar or
[22:14] ---
    ominous weapon at all...
[22:25] ---
    Lian,
[22:26] ---
    you seem to be quite happy?
[22:28] ---
    For sure.
[22:29] ---
    It's been ages since I had a good chat about
    famous swords and precious blades with someone!
[22:32] ---
    Lord of the City.
[22:39] ---
    Come,
[22:40] ---
    sit over here.
[22:43] ---
    This City of Ghost it's San Lang's territory,
[22:46] ---
    so I suppose he wouldn't mind
    one more mouth to feed...
[22:49] ---
    But...
[22:51] ---
    if I can have him by my side
[22:53] ---
    perhaps I can slowly guide him...
[22:55] ---
    To regain his normal self.
[23:03] ---
    Xiao Ying entrusted you to
    me before she passed away,
[23:05] ---
    and I accepted that responsibility.
[23:07] ---
    But I don't know
[23:09] ---
    if you're willing to accompany
    me on my journey of cultivation?
[23:16] ---
    Good,
[23:18] ---
    and if you can't remember your own name,
[23:21] ---
    why not choose a new one?
[23:23] ---
    Ying.
[23:25] ---
    Ying, just like Xiao Ying.
[23:27] ---
    That's fine...
[23:30] ---
    You're from Yong An,
[23:31] ---
    and the family name in Yong An is Lang.
[23:33] ---
    So from now on,
[23:34] ---
    let's call you Lang Ying, alright?
[23:47] ---
    This is to welcome you, Lian.
[23:49] ---
    There is no need to be polite.
[23:58] ---
    I'm sorry for the trouble, San Lang.
[24:05] ---
    Come,
[24:05] ---
    let's eat.
[24:18] ---
    Who was that
[24:20] ---
    just now?
[24:25] ---
    Lian,
[24:26] ---
    how about a drink?
[24:58] ---
    Lian?
[25:04] ---
    Wind...
[25:05] ---
    Wind Master?
[25:06] ---
    
[25:08] ---
