- Hurry! Hurry and go put out the fire! - Hurry!
Hurry! Hurry and put out the fire!
Hurry!
Mister.
Mister?
Mister? Wake up!
Yuwen Yue? Yuwen Yue? Wake up.
Hurry and wake up, Mister.
Who are you?
Fang Qin, the musician or the spy from the Liang?
You are so smart.
How are you unable to guess my identity?
You are from Liang.
Mr. Huai is so smart. Surely, you are destined for some great achievements.
Why the sudden visit?
I came to visit Yuwen Xi.
He has been working with us, Liang, for the past few years.
It's a pity he has past his prime.
He has lost the aspirations and ideals he once had.
I need to find someone strong who can replace him.
And Mr. Huai is my best choice.
The first time we met, I just knew we were predestined for a close relationship.
Except, I don't know if this a disaster or blessing.
Disasters or blessings, mutual trust.
Besides, the situation is unpredictable.
Whether it's a blessing or a disaster, it's not to be covered in one sentence.
Mr. Huai is a clever strategist.
You must know whom to work with to succeed.
A beautiful woman who appreciates my talents,
I, Yuwen Huai, am extremely honored.
Mr. Huai indeed knows to adapt to circumstances.
It's just that with my grandfather—
Mister Huai, can be at ease.
Yuwen Xi already promised me to let you take over Hongshan House.
You now have the final say here.
There are some movements going on in Qingshan House.
A huge group of Yue Spies are coming toward Bliss Chamber.
Looks like they have already discovered our whereabouts.
Yuwen Yue dares to trespass into my Hongshan House?
It's just a group of bandits, nothing to fear about.
They are just some measly Yue Spies. We can just fight our way out.
Wait.
Don't alarm the enemies and escalate this matter.
What smart strategy does Mister have?
We have a secret passageway here.
Both of you can just leave without anyone knowing.

Oh my, is this still the cave that I left earlier?
How come it's so warm?
It turns out that there was a beautiful lady who's started a fire.
So smart!
I thought you wouldn't come back.
You're not trusting me again.
I already said, we can't escape.
Just accept this truth, okay?
Tell me. Don't we have that feel of sharing hardships together?
Of course, idiot! Do you still need to ask?
It is for sure.
That's what I also think.
If that's the case, I cannot just secretly escape by my own.
What's that? Don't worry. I will never do such a lowly thing.
Here.
Drink some wine to warm yourself.
Eat some biscuits to relieve your hunger.
There is no poison!
No trust of me at all!
Oh, right. Even if there was really poison, you wouldn't be able to smell it either. Right?
How do you know that I wouldn't be able to smell it?
How come I suddenly have a feeling that I really like us two getting locked up in here?
How come I have such feelings?
These feelings are very good.
I hope that we could be locked up in here forever.
He is like our child.
We're going to raise him till adulthood in here.
Here, we will be working hard. Be merry; be happy.
- We— - Shut up.
No one will think you are a mute if you don't talk.
Fine.
You asked for it, so I will shut up.
Not talking. Can't talk.
Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li, shut your mouths.
There is an adorable lady who doesn't like us talking.
You guys are the loudest. Go in! Go in!
So quiet.
How is it? Are you happy now?
You won't be happy at all.
The reason is very simple.
Because in this cave, there is only the three of us.
One... is even half-dead.
Surely, you wouldn't talk to me.
If I still won't talk, I'll die from boredom in here.
I don't want to die in this cave.
Based on what you said, this cave should be your territory.
You should know a lot about it.
Are you so impressed with me right now? Don't.
You must not worship me.
Let me tell you a secret.
People who are in our field earn more by selling information than selling weapons. Really.
That is what my original work really is.
Then, do you know how he contracted this cold illness?
Is there any method to treat it?
I don't know.
There are so many strange ways to get this illness.
How would I know which one is his?
But looking at how he looks, this is not something that he had for just one or two days.
I am guessing that he must have been born with it.
Jeez. Talking about treatment, it is actually easily to treat it.
Bring a warm stove. Drink supplements. Make sure not to get cold.
I'm guessing that it would at least let him live for 10 or 20 years.
What? 10 or 20 years?!
That severe?
Congenital diseases are the hardest to treat.
It's a good thing he was born into the Yuwen family.
If he had been born within other families,
I don't know how many times he would have died already.
Then you take a look at him. See if he can be cured.
Don't let him die here.
Are you ordering me?
I will abide.
I am so willing to serve you.
How come this lad's pulse strength is that strong?
It almost broke the nails that I just filed.
Just based on that, he won't die that soon.
Don't worry. At most just a few hours, he will surely wake up.
You must believe me.
- Any discoveries? - I've checked it.
There are no corpses among the rubble.
Mister most likely is still safe.
For the local officials, send someone to carefully take care of this.
- We must not let anyone know about this. - Yes.
The Liang spies made such a grand effort.
They are surely not just trying to hurt Mister.
They must be plotting for something else.
Yue Qi, hurry and take some men to where they are staying.
No need to monitor them. Just barge in.
Get them dead or alive.
Yes.
You few, go to the adjacent forest and search.
If you find anything suspicious, immediately return and report it to me.
- Yes. - Yes.
- Owner. - Yes?
Do you sell weapons?
Yes.
Even sell a technique to break invisibility?
And maps of the different rich families manors?
You're quite something.
You know quite a lot.
Come over here. Come over here.
What is it?
Behave!
What is it? So petty. Can't even hold your hand?
Let me tell you. Don't be so sure of yourself.
I want to buy some things from you.
I don't know if you have them or not.
I have a lot of good things here.
It depends on the price that you're giving.
- Money is not a problem. - That's good.
You also saw it. The person lying down there is a master from the Yuwen family.
Once we are able to safely leave this place, we surely will pay you back some other time.
Did you wake up too quickly or still haven't fully woken up yet?
Why would I allow you credit?
I am not related to you in any way, so why would I let you have credit?
Impossible. A credit transaction?
It's impossible for me.
Whenever I see a beautiful woman, I become a person without principles.
I also hate this trait of mine.
Forget it. I will make an exception just for you.
I do have an idea.
You can use that invaluable little wood bead of yours as collateral.
I'm really at a great disadvantage on this deal.
- You're talking about this? - Yes.
I was indeed right.
This was exactly the same as the wood bead that Luo He carried with her.
What are you still thinking about? It's settled then.
What do you mean by that? You— This—
What does this mean?!
With such a good deal, don't you want to take it?
This is a very important item.
I definitely will not use it as collateral.
Just do as you want. Just do as you want.
You decide what to do with your own stuff.
I actually won't have any use for that rotten thing.
What can it do? Can it be eaten like rice?
Can it be drank like wine?
No use at all.
There is one thing that I actually want to ask you.
A young lady like you carrying such a wood bead.
Do you know a female spy called Luo He?
What is your relation with her?
Could it be that my identity has something to do with Luo He?
Female spy Luo He?
Then do you know the Twelve Elites?
Am I supposed to know them?
Then you surely know the Fengyun Order already, right?
I do have some impression of Fengyun Order.
That's good then.
Can you tell me the whereabouts of the Fengyun Order then?
Why do I have to tell you?
You said it so well. Why then must you tell me?
I just love this straightforward attitude of yours.
We are not related in anyway, so why would you tell it to me?
Let me tell you why you should tell me.
Because I want to make a deal with you.
Girl, don't you want to buy some weapons?
From these divine weapons in my hands, just choose anything you want and take them.
I will not ask you for any money.
And what information you want, you can tell me.
I will give you the most accurate answer.
Looking at how anxious he is, I should get some more information from him.
I never thought that the power of this Fengyun Order was this great.
Are all of your words true?
Go out and ask around.
What reputation do I have in the black market?
My words are like gold.
What? Can you now tell me the whereabouts of the Fengyun Order?
In the hands of the Twelve Elites.
In the hands of the Twelve Elites?
This is troublesome then.
How come it's with them?
It got forcefully stolen by the female spy Luo He.
How could that be? Female spy Luo—
You are fooling me?!
You find it funny? Do you believe I'll bite you?
Tell me honestly. Where really is the Fengyun Order?
I don't know.
Impossible! You said earlier that you know.
I only said that I have a bit of impression about it but I didn't say I knew where it was.
Princess.
Tao Ye, you go first
I have to go to someplace first.
I'll meet you later in the tomb.
Princess, if you have some errands, why don't you let Tao Ye—
No need. I can go by myself.
Sounds interesting.
I, Zuo Baocang, have been in Jianghu for so long.
I have seen countless women.
Today, I actually lost to a little girl.
I didn't cheat you. All I told was the truth.
Sure, the truth is fine. Lies will do, too.
Anyway, I don't want to annoy you anymore.
I've annoyed you the whole day and I'm tired.
I don't know your name.
What's your name?
My name is Xing'er.
Nice to meet you, Miss Xing'er.
Owner Zuo, to be frank with you.
Although I don't know where the Fengyun Order is, as long as you help me,
I won't let you suffer a loss.
That's hard to tell.
But there's one thing I can be sure of.
You, little girl, will never suffer a loss.
Don't say it like that.
Although I don't know the whereabouts of the Fengyun Order,
I certainly know that I have a relationship with it.
I promise you. Once I get my memory back
and remember the Fengyun Order,
I will come back and tell you immediately.
Girl, it turns out that you have amnesia.
I think I lost my memory.
Silly girl! Why didn't you tell me earlier?
I'm specialized at amnesia.
I can find all the memories you lost from your brain.
I tell you. If you let me heal your amnesia, I can recover all your memory rapidly.
What you said is true?
Please come with me.
Older Brother Yan Xun, cheers.
That's why, Older Brother Yan Xun. Don't go back to Northern Yan anymore.
Just stay here in Chang'an.
The weather there is not good and the sandy wind is very strong.
I heard that women beyond their thirties have wrinkled skin like those of elder women.
Also, other than horse riding and hunting, men there have nothing else to do.
More importantly, if you leave Chang'an,
where can you still find so many fine wines and a very beautiful Chun'er?
Right. Right, right.
What you have said are all right.
Okay. Then let's make a pact that you will stay in Chang'an to accompany me from now on.
It's already late. It will be dark soon.
I'll get going now.
Older Brother Yan Xun!
- Be my company. - Fine.
Come. I'll drink one cup with you.
Here. Drink again.
I'm pouring some wine.
- Here. - Here.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Older Brother Yan Xun!
Older Brother Yan Xun, what's wrong with you?
I'm drunk.
Drunk already? Don't think of fooling me.
- Let me tell you. I'll tickle you. - I'm not lying to you.
And you still dare to say you're drunk? You dare fool me?
Let me see if you are really drunk or faking it!
Look, you are even running now!
- You are not drunk at all! - I am really drunk already.
Chun'er.
Greetings, Noble Consort Wei.
Consort Mother.
Heir Apparent Yan Xun, you really are so idle.
This is the inner part and restricted place of the palace.
Everyone here are women of the imperial family.
Isn't it quite scandalous for a man like you to drink wine and have fun here?
Is this a rule that the Duke of North Yan has taught you?
Consort Mother, it was me who asked Older Brother Yan Xun to come over and keep me company.
Don't blame him.
Princess is drunk. Her words can't be treated as true.
I was ordered to enter the palace to visit Her Highness Empress Dowager.
Older Brother Yan Xun...
Afterwards, I bumped into Princess drinking wine here.
Hence, I sat down and asked for some cups.
It was me who acted frivolously.
Hope Your Highness Noble Consort can forgive me.
Since you know that your actions are frivolous, then you should be more careful.
Now that you two have grown up,
you shouldn't still be like children nor acting inappropriately.
Hope Heir Apparent could self-examine one's actions more
and stop coming here in this restricted part of the palace.
Consort Mother.
I have been lectured.
I'll take my leave.
Older Brother Yan Xun!
I am not drunk!
As an imperial princess,
you are hugging an unrelated man in broad daylight. What a scandal!
What unrelated man? He is Older Brother Yan Xun!
How is he your older brother?
He actually has no blood relations with me.
In the future, he can also not be my older brother.
Chun'er, I think that you should understand that you are the respected princess of Wei.
Your future wedding certainly won't be as you please.
Why can't it be?
Chun'er, the world has been at peace for several years.
How many feudal and noble families were annihilated during wars?
And how many notable families and great clans have disappeared due to political wars?
If you saw it wrong, unable to see clearly, and brought yourself disappointments,
what are you going to do then?
This method that I am going to use is Prayer and Spell Means.
This was passed down by my ancestors.
Don't worry.
I surely will not harm any part of your body.
This bowl you are holding is called Prayer and Spell Soup.
Once you drink it, you'll become unconscious.
At this time, I will use the Prayers and Spells Means to guide you by your side.
Try to help you find all your memories.
Then what about this other bowl?
This other bowl is more important.
This bowl is called Waking Up Soup.
If you become too deeply unconscious, I'll then—
This is totally just water, right?
I will then splash it on you to wake you up.
What if I am unable to wake up?
Asking me to risk such extreme danger...
What if you steal my stuff while I am unconscious?
What kind of words were those?
I am not a thief. Why would I steal your stuff then?
Moreover, what valuables do you have on you right now? I would even steal your stuff.
Think about it. Even if I steal your things, can I get out?
We all can't get out.
What's the use of me stealing your stuff?
At most, I'll just take advantage of your body.
I am just joking with you.
Would I even dare to sexually harass you?
If I do, then won't that young lad kill me when he wakes up?
Moreover, you cannot think that way.
Young lady, being born in this world is a risk on its own.
You should dare to risk danger.
If you don't take risks, how could you be able to achieve your goals then?
You should become a—
Owner Zuo, how about this? Help me with one more thing.
I want to enter the Bliss Chamber. Do you have a map?
Bliss Chamber?
No, I can't help you with that.
A young lady like you isn't suitable to go to such a place.
That place is very dangerous.
There are traps there that are deadly.
Also, there is even a beast there. A very huge beast.
I know. Why else would I need your help?
Just tell me if you have it or not.
I have it.
As long as you agree to receive my Prayers and Spells Means to recover your memory,
I can give it to you now.
You really have a map of Bliss Chamber?
Nonsense.
In this vast world, I have maps of every place.
Other than the map of the Spy Network of Heavenly Eyes, I don't have it.
Hey, Miss, look at this map very carefully.
This map is different from usual maps.
All the traps in Bliss Chamber are already marked on it.
Moreover, the escape route has also been marked very clearly.
What about it? Isn't that a good item?
Since I have gotten the map,
I don't need to drink the Prayers and Spells Soup anymore.
Stupid girl, don't you want to know your identity?
Stupid girl, think about it well.
I have a way to regain everything that has happened to you.
I swear that once you drink this soup,
I will be able to regain all the memories that you lost.
I swear.
Come. Drink it.
Come.
Drink it.
Primal chaos...
Wandering everywhere...
Wandering alone...
Returning back to one's hometown...
Primal chaos...
Wandering everywhere...
Wandering alone...
Go now.
Go and look for all those memories that you have lost.
I don't want you to experience all these, either.
But you are my daughter, you will face all these sooner or later.
I don't want to leave you defenseless when that day comes.
The inner power of the Cold Ice Skill that I gave to you was too strong.
You can't control it for now.
You must practice it with the inner power method I taught you.
Tomorrow, I will leave.
It could be a month or as long as half a year.
During the time I'm out, Lan'er will take care of you.
If I can't make it back after half a year,
go to this place and look for a man with the surname Jing.
When you perfect your Cold Ice Skill, you can open this wood bead.
It will show you the next step.
Remember: No matter how hard it is,
even if you feel you're living a moss life,
you have to stick to the life.
Only living makes everything possible.
Mother!
Be brave and live on!
Mother!
No.
Don't go into those memories.
Go into the memory of the Fengyun Order.
Hurry.
Girl, you'll be called Jing Xiaoliu from now on.
You'll be a child of the Jing family.
You must remember that.
- Jing Xiaoliu? - Yes.
Good girl.
Xiaoliu, what are you thinking?
Sixth Younger Sister, come over. Let's play together!
Come on, let's play together!
That's right. It's very fun. Come quickly, Sixth Older Sister!
Don't think about those memories!
They're useless!
Xiaoliu, Xiaoliu! Bad news!
You mother was ordered to be decapitated.
What can we do?
Uncle Jing, forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye.
Now my mother's life is at stake.
I will try to save her even if that will cost my life.
Think about the things related to the Fengyun Order.
Hurry.
Who is there?
How come there is a horse?
Hurry! Find the Fengyun Order.
You have to find the Fengyun Order.
Right.
That's it.
Open that door.
Go inside.
Open that door.
Mother.
Mother!
Open it!
There must be information about the Fengyun Order.
Hurry.
Go forward.
Open the door!
Mother! Mother!
Mother!
Who are you? Where is my mother?
Look for her in hell!
It's a trap.
Capture the criminal.
Capture her alive!
You are Luo He's daughter.
What did you do to my mother?
You want to see your mother, right?
I'm sorry to tell you that she's dead!
You killed her.
Luo He has unrivaled martial arts skills and the power to order around so many people.
But she kept promoting the release of slaves and the cessation of war.
A totally insane person speaking nonsense!
If I say that it was you who killed Luo He, guess if the world will believe it or not!
Then, I'll kill you today!
Today, you won't be able to escape!
Catch her.
Junior Commander!
Hurry and chase them!
Mister, you're awake.
What are you doing?
Are you crazy?!
Only a step was left.
But now, everything was all for nothing!
Our Mister has woken up.
Stop saying nonsense now.
I almost lost my life in that, so why would I make up nonsense?!
Can't I even say it?!
Him doing that will destroy the both of us.
- Stinky old man! - We two...
Our Mister is already awake. Stop saying nonsense already!
You understand?!
Understood.
We have dragged things for quite long already.
Those people most likely have left long ago.
You should let us go now, right?
Let you two go? Go where?
I already said it clearly before
that even deities can't go out of here.
If there isn't any air, there would be no wing.
How come this candle is moving?
The candle fire...
can... move.
Walk around. Look.
If one moves, look.
If a person moves back and forth, it will move.
Look. It also moved.
Then we have been here for quite a long time already but the air still feels fresh.
What does that mean then?
Your shop upstairs has been destroyed.
Do you not want this place anymore, either?
Who do you think you two are?
You two are living here.
And you still eat and drink my stuff. You think I have nothing better to do?
Am I willing to let you both stay here?
Go. Go. All of you just go.
Once you leave, don't bother coming back again.
Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li!
Just follow this path and after an incense time,
you two can already escape to the outside world.
Thank you very much.
Lead them.
Still, I will return.
- Let me tell you. You better not return. - Wait for me.
