Wei wuxian died! It's so great!

Sixteen years ago

It‘a good that he died. That’s such good news! Wei Wuxian, the Yiling Patriarch, couldn’t have been killed on the spot. If it weren’t for the coalition of the Jiang clan, Lan clan, Jin clan, and Nie clan, for he was such a terrible man. Yes. The Jiang clan adopted him out of mercy, but he turned out to be a merciless devil. How ungrateful. He betrayed his clan and fought against all other clans. Because of this, the Jiang clan was almost eradicated. If I were Jiang Cheng, I would have killed him from the start. I got the Stygian Tiger Amulet! The Stygian Tiger Amulet... Wei Wuxian jumps of the cliff and Lan Zhan reaches for him and grabs his arm. Lan Zhan. Let go of me. Jiang Cheng. Wei Wuxian! Go to hell! Saying so Jiang Cheng stabs the rock and Wei Wuxian makes Lan Zhan let go of him. As for Wei Wuxian, 16 years ago, he was a prestigious man who became famous when he was young. How glorious he was! But look at his ending. Falling off a cliff without a body to be found, without a chance of survival.

Sixteen years later

Sir, as you’ve said, Wei Wuxian, the Yiling patriarch...died for sure, right? He certainly fell off...the cliff. However, for the past 16 years, the young clan leader, Jiang Cheng, still hasn’t found his body even though he searched the bottom of the cliff. It is said that...the Yiling patriarch had the ability to shake the earth and move the mountains. Although we’ve had 16 years of peace, who can say for sure that Wei Wuxian, the Yiling patriarch, won’t come back in the present? Souls come back. They don’t go to the Ghost Realm. Souls come back. They don’t go to the Ghost Realm. Mo Xuanyu. Mo Xuanyu. Who? Who is calling? Mo Xuanyu. Mo Xuanyu. Who? Who is calling? Mo Xuanyu. Mo Xuanyu. Mo...who is Mo Xuanyu? It’s you. I saved you, I did with all my heart. From now on, you are Mo Xuanyu. No, I am not. I am...I had no choice. I didn’t want to use the spell and offer my body. But...they crossed the line. Kill them all for me. Kill them all! Wei Wuxian, take revenge for me! Hurry up. Hurry. Wei Wuxian woke up in Mo Xuanyu's body and was kicked to the ground and beat. Who are you? Get lost. How dare you kick me? How reckless. How dare you report me! Do you think I’m afraid of that? Remember! Your in my house, eating my food, and spending my money! You think I can’t take things from you? Your thing's are mine! Young master, everything’s been checked. How quick. Have you found the cultivator's item? These are all we found, in this shabby room. You hide these pieces of paper like treasure. You think you’re a somebody because you’ve spent several years in Lanling? They will never accept you, a bastard. You’ve finally been kicked out like a dog. As your cousin, I’m reminding you. Don’t daydream, like your bitch mother. A lowlife will stay low. You will never be associated with the influential Jin clan. Young master, the cultivators for cleansing have arrived. Madam is looking for you. All right. Wei Wuxian goes outside and washes his face. Mo Xuanyu. I have already died. Why did you save me? And you used the curse on me. You really had great hatred. All right. As the Yiling patriarch, I was a mad defector, who was perfect for exacting revenge. Scars represent life. If I don’t kill Mo Xuanyu's enemies, these scars will never heal. I wish I was still dead. You! Me! “Me” what? Crazy Mo. Who aloud you to go out? Get back inside now! I...I am Mo Xuanyu? Aside from Mo Xuanyu who else could you be? I told you. Stop daydreaming. You’ll always be a nobody, no matter how hard you try. Why aren’t you wearing your weird mask today? So I always wear my mask? Psycho. Before you lose your mind again, tell me, what did the Jin clan of Lanling do to you? Why do you keep wearing a mask or covering your face with power after you came back from there? Are you too ashamed to be seen? How old was I when I went to Carp Tower? Thirteen. Why do you ask? Nothing. I have to go now. Where are you going? I...come back! The guy beat Mo Xuanyu (Wei Wuxian) with a patel. How dare you run away! Mo Xuanyu (Wei Wuxian) turned around and snapped. Stop. He takes the snack that the guy had and ate one. The peanuts are not as tasty as they were 16 years ago. Something evil appeared recently and has caused many deaths. Madam can finally see you people. This way. What a coincidence. The Lan clan of Gusu came here just after Mo Xuanyu brought me back. Is he here too? Thank you, cultivators, for coming here to get rid of the evil spirit. I have heard that members of the Lan clan of Gusu are instructed to be upright, gentle, and distinguished. It seems seeing is believing. You really live up to your reputation. I couldn’t agree more. Actually, we, the Mo clan, do have some associations with the cultivators. We’re not an ordinary clan. There is a young man in our clan who was once instructed by the cultivators. If you can stay here for a few more days, our clan--here I am! I just heard I was mentioned. Among the whole clan, I am the closest to the cultivators, yes? Who let him out? Bring him back! Get out of here. That’s him. I won’t go. You see. I won’t go. I want to stay here. I won’t go. What a show. I won’t go. Get out. No! I won’t! Get out. Don’t touch me! Go! Release me! I won’t go. Release me. I won’t go. Don’t pull me. Release me. Get out! Out. Get lost immediately! No, I won’t leave. Go! Stop being crazy! My nephew has suffered from a mental illness since childhood. I hope you don’t mind. I won’t go. Mo Xuanyu, you’re nuts! Leave now or I will punish you severely. Tong, take him away! If you want me to leave, then you should return what you stole from me. Nonsense! When did I steal from you? I don’t need to do that. Yes. You didn’t steal. You robbed me! How could he do that? Shame on him. It hurts! It hurts so much! Come and see! I want to die now. What... Madam Mo held a grudge against me because she was jealous of my mother. They teamed up to bully me. I never did that! I didn’t really kick him. I want to die. The footprint...it could be that he kicked himself, right? After all, he is a member of the Mo clan. You are so cruel. Yes. When he just returned, his madness wasn’t this serious. They must have driven him mad. That’s right. You goddamn psycho! How dare you! Shut up! If you want me to shut up...return my things first. Or kneel down and kowtow. Such a mess. The guy grabs a liquor bottle and tried to hit Mo Xuanyu (Wei Wuxian) but Mo Xuanyu went around him and dodged it. Did you see that? He stole from me and beat me! How merciless! Young master, please calm down. This is my sisters son. He has a mental illness. All the people here know it. He had gone mad when he was young. He often talks nonsense. You can’t take it seriously. Why can’t he take my words seriously? I will say it again. If any of you steal from me again, I will break one of your arms. Understood? Stop! I shall leave now. Mo Xuanyu takes a bottle of liquor and leaves. Madam Mo, let’s get to the point. We will work in your west yard tonight. Please remember, don’t go out of your rooms after nightfall and don’t get close to that yard. Yes. Thank you so much. Mother! That psycho slandered me in front of everyone! That’s it? As you said, he is nothing but a bastard. Shut up! That psycho is dead now! The guy runs out of the room. Cultivators, please. Mo Xuanyu drinks the liquor that he got. Why does this alcohol taste like water? Maybe I really need to kill the entire Mo clan. This way. The Stygian Lure Flag? Assemble. The two of us will go to the west roof. You go to the roof in the east. We should explore this place and try to arrange these flags around the roof. After that... Although all clans wanted to kill me, they still make use of the equipment I made. So if they come from the east, we can flank them from all directions. But don’t disturb the people living here also, the corridor here and the roof over there should be guarded. Stay vigilant. Focus. Don’t be affected by the foul energy. What are you doing? You shouldn’t be here. Mo Xuanyu grabs the flag off the pole. Stop! You shouldn’t mess with that! No! I want it! Return it or I will hurt you! I won’t! I want it! Jingyi. Don’t lose your temper. Let’s just talk to him. No need to argue with him. I won’t beat him for real. Look at him. He messed up our flag formation. The emblazonry was painted in the right way. The spell lines are complete. There’s nothing wrong. It will work when used. However, the people who painted the flag are inexperienced. The painted spell line can incur ghosts within five miles. But it’s enough. Young master Mo, it is getting dark. We’re going to fight the evil spirit. You should go back to your room. It’s dangerous at night. Whatever you hear at night, just stay in your room. Mo Xuanyu look at the cultivators clothes and remembers his good friend Lan Zhan his eyes get watery and he squatted down on the ground and the cultivator squats down with him. What’s wrong, young master Mo? It’s just some rug with paint. I don’t care. I can paint better. Mo Xuanyu threw the flag on the ground stepped on it and ran away. Such a madman. Don’t say that. Let’s just do what we need to do. Let’s go chef that place. You go over there. The flag formation should be spread out from there to here. Over there? Right. Night comes and the cultivators are in there positions for the evil spirit. Young master. The cultivators said that we shouldn’t come out of our rooms or go into the west yard. I came here to find that mad guy! Go. Fetch me the black flag. But the cultivators said--You idiot! They just fear that there items will be stolen. So they frightened us on purpose. Look at those cultivators. Everyone is holding a black flag. Go. Young master, here you go. Let’s go. Mo Xuanyu plays the flute beautifully. Jingyi, this melody sounds familiar. It seems like a melody from Gusu. We’ve heard it before. Have we. It’s playing so awfully. I’ve never heard it before. Lan Zhan. Pull him out and report the the official’s. Yes, sir. Don’t report him. Beat him to death. Yes, master. Yes, master. It hurts. Go. Be gentle, please. What happened? I don’t know, master. Damn it. The Mo clan have never seen the adult Mo Xuanyu. But I could be recognized by the Lan clan of Gusu. Young master Mo, you can stand up now. Ziyuan! Cultivators. A puppet. What would we do, master? This...My son! It’s you! An evil spirit is possessing him. It is not that easy. Look at the black marks on his neck. It seems like a special symbol. No. Before the stick of incense burns out, two people will have already been murdered. Cultivators, help. Madam Mo tried to swing a rock at Mo Xuanyu but one of the cultivators stoped her. Madam Mo. it’s him who made my son like this. Why are you stopping me? It has nothing to do with me. I did nothing. Madam Mo, your son‘s mind is damaged by the evil spirit. It’s not because of this gentleman. What do you know? That madman’s dad what a cultivator. He learned a lot of wicked sorceries. I...Madam Mo! You have no evidence! So...Evidence? What happened to my son is evidence! That madman said if my son touched his stuff, he would break his arm. My poor boy. He didn’t take anything from him. This psycho not only framed my son, but he also hurt him in such a vicious way! They searched the man and found the flag he stole. You deserve it. How dare you steal this kind of stuff. No wonder the evil spirit possessed him. My yuan! What on earth did you do to my son? Don’t worry he just passed out. You are useless! You call yourselves cultivators? You can’t even protect a child! Shame on you! You really take them as your servants? They came from far away to help you get rid of the evil thing without asking for anything. How old is your son? He should be 20 at least. Doesn’t he understand the human language? The cultivators told us countless of times that we can’t touch anything or enter the west yard. But he went out of his room and stole the flag. It was his own fault. Why are you blaming me? You...You, call everyone here. Move now! Go! What are you doing? How dare you disobey me? Get out! Master, let’s go. Ding,take your young master to get some rest. Young master. Young master. Madam. Madam. Madam. What the hell is that? The evil thing is fierce. Send a signal for Hanguang Jun. Madam. Hanguang Jun? Are you talking about that Lan Zhan? But before he left, he didn’t tell us where he would go. Wait. Do you mean he is nearby? It doesn’t matter. Let’s send him a signal first. Wait. That’s actually unnecessary. What if he can’t arrive in time? We don’t even know what it is. I mean, you don’t need to bother him. I can solve the problem. Guard this place and wait for him. I said...It seems I should end this quickly. Those black marks were obviously left by the Stygian Tiger Amulet. But the amulet has already been destroyed. What on earth is it? Tong, you’ve woken up. Stay back! Look at his neck. The man broke his neck with his left hand. It’s a ghost! It’s a ghost! There is an invisible ghost. It’s him. He made Tong strangle himself to death! There’s no ghost. Be quiet. There left arms are all broken. You psycho. How can you laugh at this moment? Sorry, I’m not laughing at them. Stop it. Nobody would respond to your reaction. He is not Mo Ziyuan's father. And that man is not Tong. How can you tell? Their hands. None of them are left-handed. They always beat me with their right hand. I know. I can tell. And your proud of that? Look at yourself. Right. The evil thing hid in their left hand. Can everyone lift their left hand. The cultivators searched the villagers left hand. Madam Mo stood up from the chair fast and tried to attack one of the cultivators with her left hand. The evil spirit is afraid of our tailsmans! Take off your clothes! Come on guys time to get to work. Lan Zhan saw the signal that the cultivators sent and rushed over. Mo Xuanyu hid behind a poll hoping Lan Zhan won’t see him. Hanguang Jun! Mo Xuanyu smiled as he saw Lan Zhan and started tearing up. He is always dressed in white, like he's going to attend a funeral. Mo Xuanyu laughs as he remembers the old memories.Lan Zhan looks at a sword that is possessed by the evil spirit. Hanguang Jun. Hanguang Jun. Hanguang Jun. Where did the evil spirit come from? It was so vicious. It’s not an evil spirit, but the spiritual energy of a first-class spiritual tool. It hides inside a sword. Maybe it is a sword ghost. “A first-class spiritual tool." Why does it have so much hatred? Mo Xuanyu leaves hoping not to be seen. Hanguang Jun. That is...The Stygian Tiger Amulet. The Stygian Tiger Amulet? You mean that sword ghost is a trace of the Stygian Tiger Amulet? But the Stygian Tiger Amulet was destroyed in the bloodbath of Nightless city. Maybe...Maybe the Yiling didn’t die. Where is young master Mo. Lan Zhan hears a noise and rushes to it seeing nothing there. Wei ying. Is it really you?

The next day

Someone gives a beggar some gold. Thank you. What a surprise. They gave me a piece of gold just for telling stories about the Yiling patriarch for three days. The beggar bit the gold to see if it was real. I’m rich now! Souls come back. They don’t go to the Ghost Realm. Souls come back. They don’t go to the Ghost Realm. Mo Xuanyu rolls up his sleeve to see the scars on his arm. There’s still one person i have to take revenge on. Who could it be?...

It was a beautiful day and Mo Xuanyu (Wei Wuxian) was walking his donkey. You’re a very picky eater. You only eat fresh grass with dew and refuse any brown-tipped grass. Once you’re unsatisfied, you get angry and stop moving. And you even kick your feet. Well...you are my master now. Okay? My good master, come on. Mo Xuanyu is drinking water near a water well. My good master, what are you doing? How far is it? I have no idea. I don’t suppose it’s far. It’s scorching. It’s so hot. I’m thirsty. We’ve been walking for so long. When can we rest? How far is it? There’s a well. Come, let’s get some water. I want water too. I’ll go. Mo Xuanyu grabs his donkey and goes to sit elsewhere. Here. Yan! That’s so weird. Why isn’t the arrow moving at all? We are getting closer to Dafan Mountain. Maybe your compass is broken. Get a new one next time. We are only about ten minutes away from Dafan Mountain. We can’t rest for too long. We won’t be the most meritorious if others arrive before us. Hi, friends. Has there been anything unusual in Dafan Mountain lately? You probably didn’t know that Dafan Mountain was once a blessed place with a spiritual spring, but it gradually declined for unknown reasons. Recently, it is said that soul-eaters have appeared and have taken several souls. No. I don’t think so. I’m afraid there aren’t any monsters. See? All the arrows that signal monsters are steady. If your right, then how come there are symptoms of soullessness? Maybe your compass is to blame. Impossible. Don’t you k ow who made my compass? What do you mean of course, I do. It was made by Wei Wuxian. Mo Xuanyu chokes on his water. His inventions are not all perfect. Are they unquestionable? I didn’t say that. I never said they were all perfect. How can you slander me? Anyway, Wei's inventions are unqualified! But it’s been with me for years.it never went wrong. Why do you trust him so much? Is Wei your dad? He is my idol! Mo Xuanyu tries to go but his donkey won’t budge. Let’s go. My good master, it’s time to go! Here. A girl hands an apple to Mo Xuanyu. Yan! Excuse us. Thanks. Mo Xuanyu teases the donkey with the apple. Do you want the apple? No way! You can move now? Apple! Apple! Apple! Do you hear that? Do you? I’ll call you Apple from now on. Let’s go! Yan! Yan! Lady. The girl starts dancing. Yan! Yan! I beg you. Stop the dance! Yan. Mo Xuanyu used some spiritual power and put the girl to sleep. My Yan. Madam, what’s wrong with her? She is my daughter. She was engaged not long ago. But her fiancé didn’t live long. One day, he went to the mountain to cut firewood. Yan insisted on finding him. But unexpectedly, when she came back, she seemed like a different person. Yan. Yan. She neither eats or drinks. And she doesn’t remember us. Yan. Yan. Sometimes, she can recognize people, but she has lost her mind since then. She often dances towards Dafan Mountain. What sin did our clan ever commit to deserve this? When Yan just got a little better, her dad lost his soul and died soon after. Help! Anyone! Help! Somebody help! Can anyone help me? Help! Help! Help! Help! Is anyone there? Help! Help! Help! It’s always you idiots! There are over 400 spirit nets in the mountain and there yet to catch any pray. They’re being wasted on you guys. Spirit nets are quite expensive. He set over 400 of them. Very typical of the Jin clan of Lanling. Young master Jin, please make a merciful exception. Put us down, please. Please. Put us down. Put us down, please. You fools. It’s better to keep you there then to wander around and mess with my business. Young master Jin. Put us down, please. If I still remember you after I catch the soul-eaters, I’ll put you down. Young master Jin! Put us down, please! Please, Young master Jin, put us down! Apple! Apple! Apple! Apple! Apple! Help! Apple! Let us down! It’s you! What? You know me? You’ve gone crazy after being exiled? Look at how you are now. My uncle was wise to have driven you away at the time. How dare the Mo clan allow you to make an appearance? I didn’t know Mo Xuanyu really was the love child of clan leader Jin. Get out of my sight! You disgust me. Lewd thief! What are you referring to. You! Get lost now! I see you lack some maternal education. You! What did you say? Your spiritual power is to scarce to cultivate. Now you’ve adopted such goul tricks! You should watch out. Do you know who is coming today? Oh, I’m so scared. I’ll tell my uncle if you don’t lift the spell. You’ll be dead then. Why your uncle and not your dad? Who is your uncle? I am his uncle. Any last words? Uncle! Uncle. Uncle. Stop. Jin Ling, what’s taking you so long? Are you wating for me to help you up? Look how embarrassing you are. Stand up! I’ll break your legs! Break his legs? What did I tell you? Anyone who uses the Yiling patriarch's tricks should be killed and fed to your dog. I’m so unlucky today. Second Young Master of Lan. Clan Leader Jiang. You really live up to the idea of "appearing admits chaos." So you have time to visit the rural forest today? Are you here to take credits form us or to look for someone? I heard you’ve been to a lot of places in the past 16 years. Clan Leader Jiang, what do you mean by that? What do I mean? Second Young Master Lan, you know what I mean. Young Master Jin, the night hunt is supposed to be a fair competition. However, you set so many nets in Dafan Mountain that it takes others hardly able to proceed for fear of those nets. Aren’t you breaking the rules of the night hunt? They got cought because they are stupid. What can I do about that? If there’s nothing else, let’s talk after I catch the pray. Young Master Jin suddenly stayed quiet and pointed at his mouth that he could not talk anymore. Lan! What are you doing? Your not the one that should discipline him. Lift it now! Clan Leader Jiang, please don’t be angry. The Silence Spell of the Lan Clan won’t hurt people. The spell will be lifted in a stick of incense's time. If he doesn’t force to break it. Do it now! Clan Leader! Clan Leader! Just say it. What’s the bad news now? The nets were destroyed by a glowing blue sword just now. How many of them? All of them. Over 400 spirit nets! Excellent work, Lan Clan of Gusu, Jin Ling, Young Master Lan wants to teach you a lesson. Just take it. It’s not easy for him to discipline a junior from another clan. Off you go. Yes. Why are you still standing there? Are you waiting for the pray to kill itself before you do? If you don’t catch that monster today, don’t come back to me. Jin Ling excuses himself and leaves. Clan Leader Jiang, we, the Lan clan of Gusu. Will retire nets to you later. No need. Jiang Cheng walks away angry. Mo Xuanyu feels his heart beat faster and faster and butter flies grow in his stomach. Ugh why dose it have to be you? Stupid heart. Get back to your positions. Try your best, but don’t take risks. Yes. Yes. Lan Zhan glanced at Mo Xuanyu and he started to blush hard. Mo Xuanyu squats down near a river and takes off his mask. Wei Wuxian, don’t stir up trouble again. Xian, have some soup. It’s your favorite loutish root and ribs soup. Wei Wuxian, you said you would assist me. Don’t you remember? You said Gusu has its Twin jades, so we are the heroes of Yunmeng. Wuxian, you, Cheng, and I, we won’t be separated. We will stay together forever. Yanli. Yanli! This Young Master Jin is spoiled by both the Jin clan and the Jiang clan. What a bossy young master. I can’t imagine what will happen when he takes over the Jin clan of Lanling. Nobody would stand it then. It’s reasonable. His parents passed away when he was a child. So what? There are so many people without parents. What would the world become if everyone was like him? But Jin Ling does have a miserable past. His father was killed because of Wei Wuxian just a few days after he was born. His mother, Jiang Yanli, was also killed later because of Wei. What an unlucky woman! She trusted Wei, only to be killed. No wonder Jiang Cheng hates Wei, the Yiling patriarch, so much. Jiang never forgave anyone who used Wei's tricks in the past 16 years. I think Wei Wuxian is to blame. He has so many enemies. Flashback. I can see you lack some maternal education. Back in reality. Mo Xuanyu slapped himself. Jin Ling is my sister's son. How could I say that to him? I thought I could be indifferent to the world, but nobody can repress their feoafter all. Mo Xuanyu lays back on the rocks and closed his eyes. He opens his eyes to Apples face infront of him. Apple! Your back! Sizhui, we have searched everywhere. There is nothing related to the soul-eating monsters here. The Lan clan of Gusu stop in there tracks seeing a grave yard and they slowly approach. They see something zoom by they run towards the person and point a sword at him. Who are you? Why are you hiding? Sir, what are you doing here? I’m the caretaker. I look after these graves. I thought it was the monster. Sir, how long have you been here? I can’t recall. At the beginning, Master Wen asked me to watch over the graves, so I dare not to leave. But later, more people died. The graves here have then increased in number, witch easily attracted evil spirits. Is there anything strange in Dafan Mountain? Yes. You should visit Tiannu Temple at the top of the mountain. There stands a dancing fairy statue. It’s a stone that looks like a person. It’s very strange. At that time, Master Wen said... What did he say? Let’s have a look at the temple. Maybe we’ll find some clues. Thank you sir. Master Wen...What on earth did he say? Master Wen...I got it! The stone there can move! You stupid donkey, all you do is eat all day. Mo Xuanyu looks at the grass that Apple was eating and realized something. Apple. This is soul-gathering grass. Such grass can gather spiritual energy from the earth. It usually grows beside the graves of cultivators. Maybe there are lots of them around here. I’m amazed. You’re really good at eating. Mo Xuanyu and Apple start walking and they end up at the grave yard that the Lan clan of Gusu was at. This place is surrounded by a dark fog because many cultivators are buried here. The spiritual power lingers and nourishes the grass. Excuse me, what clan do these graves belong to? They disappeared long ago. The Wen clan had disappeared. The Wen clan. Wen clan. Wei Wuxian. My clan is buried here. No. It’s not the soul-eater. Damn it, Jin Ling is in danger. Where did the old man go? It was said they hundreds of years ago, a hunter from Fojiao Town went to the mountain and found a strange stone in a cave that looks eerily human. It has its four limbs in a dancing gesture. What’s more, the statue even has a valid face of a smiling woman. The people in Fojiao Town saw it as a miracle and made many fairytales about it. According to the locals, making wishes here is really effective. Why is the temple so dilapidated now? Does nobody come to clean it? A stone from nowhere was put here with no explanation. It should be considered a deity and served. The ignorant villagers pray all day. But they don’t k ow that gods can’t even carry themselves, let alone a stone. If it is effective as people say, then I wish that the monster of Dafan Mountain show up in front of me immediately. Can the stone do that? Yes. Young Master Jin is right. Spiritual power drone the stone hits the guy in the head and he passes out. Hey. What wrong with you? Wake up! The stone starts to move like a human. They all pull out there swords.young Master Mo! Get out of here! Watch out! It’s a soul-eating statue. The stone just moved. Stop stalling. Run! The stone starts to follow them. Wait for me! Who are you kids? Do you know our clan? All right. Men, can you set off a signal shell of yours and ask your Young Master Lan for help? Gosh. The shells were used up at the Mo's Manor that night. All of them. You didn’t get more? I forgot. You forgot? Your going to be punished if your young master finds out. We’re doomed. This time, Young Master Lan will severely punish us. "Punish." You are supposed to learn a lesson, or else you won’t remember it next time. Young Master Mo, how did you know it was a fairy statue that ate souls? I saw them. What did you see? Old graves. So I deduced it wasn’t something soul-eaters do. Why? You Lan clan of Gusu learns to much about cultivators etiquette, cultivation, and clan history. They’re all meaningless and tiresome to recite. Together should teach you something useful. Soul-eating monsters and soul-eating specters live on the i undissipated spiritual energy of the dead. Now I have a question. There are so many cultivators graves that have their lingering spiritual energy. Why do they target living people? You have a point. Wait. So you are not crazy. What about the lady Yan? Second question. Her fiancé went missing, what can she do as a weak woman? Pray to the gods. Yes. And there’s something special about Yan. Among all victims only her soul came back. Well...Yan's father loves her so much. When he found out that Yan's soul was lost and the medicine was useless, what did he do? I know. He also went to pray. So he also went to the temple in order to get Yan's soul back. Correct. The fairy statue returned Yan’s soul, but her soul had already been affected. That’s why Yan imitates the fairy statue's gesture and smile. So when Jin Ling said his wish, "I wish that the monster of Dafan Mountain show up in front of me immediately." the statue was brought to life! Jin Ling. Did anyone see Jin Ling? Why does the statue...look like a real human? That’s strange. Lan Zhan and I sealed her. What brought her to life? Young Master Jin, released the signal. Why did you take my sword? Mo Xuanyu takes the cultivators sword and chops off a piece of bamboo and makes it a flute after he was done he gave the sword back. Mo Xuanyu started to play the flute. Why are you playing the flute right now? And it sounds awful. Your crazy after all. Wen Ning comes in and kicks the statues arm off. Wen Ning? Wen Ning should be dead. Why him? What the hell is this? It’s the ghost general. The Ghost General Wen Ning. Wen Ning should have died 16 years ago along with the Yiling patriarch. Mo Xuanyu continued to play the flute and Wen Ning twirled into the stone breaking it. No. It’s an illusion. Who made this? And why? Was it for me to lure out Wen Ning? The fairy is gone. It’s so illusive. What? Surrounded him! Everyone! Don’t let him escape! He is Wen Ning! Why are you afraid? Don’t be afraid! The Yiling patriarch is not here. Yes. There’s no need to worry. His master is dead. Go! My playing was to fierce. It stirred up his temper. I have to stabilize him. Mo Xuanyu stops playing as Lan Zhan grabs his arm. They both start to tear up as they look at each other in the eyes. Mo Xuanyu continued to play and sent Wen Ning away he then looked back at Lan Zhan and hugged him they both started crying. Ling. Uncle. Mo Xuanyu and Lan Zhan stoped hugging and wiped there tears. You didn’t carry the signal shells? Now what happened? Don’t pretend to be brave. Get over here now! You told me to catch it no matter what. Don’t talk back. Clan Leader. What on earth was that? How could it have caused you such trouble? Clan Leader, it was Wen Ning. What? Wen Ning is back. Wen Ning. It was Wen Ning. Truly. He was executed a long time ago. Impossible. It’s true. I couldn’t have seen it wrong. He called Wen Ning out. Great. You are back. Jiang Cheng tried to hit Mo Xuanyu (Wei Wuxian) with the ziden but Lan Zhan protected him. Lan Wanji, how dare you! Mo Xuanyu tries to run but Jiang Cheng hit him and he fell on the floor. Mo Xuanyu gets up. What? You think you can beat people as you will because you are rich and powerful? Why didn’t it work? Why didn’t it work? Impossible. Take off your mask. No. You! You will be shocked to death if I take it off. Clan Leader, please stop. That’s the Zidian. The Zidian can recognize souls that possess others bodies. Wei Wuxian's body and soul were both lost after he died. He couldn’t resurrect unless he possesses another body. How do you know Wei died for sure? People say you killed him yourself. Tell me. Who are you? Wei Wuxian! Go to hell! Sometimes, I really want to go back 16 years ago, back to Lotus Pier. Even if it was just a dream. I would be willing to stay dreaming.

16 years ago

Xian. Xian. Xian. Xian. I’ll release the dog if you don’t get up. A dog. Fresh Loquat! Fresh from the trees! Don’t make fun of Xian. You’re here. Let me up. I’m coming. Yanli, everyone is here. We haven’t reached Cloud Recesses. This is Caiyi Town. Is there anything fun here? We are here for the lecture. All you think about is having fun. It’s fun to do something forbidden. All right, you two. This is not our hometown. Remember to behave yourselves. Look at him. What’s wrong with me? I want this. Excuse me. See. A bunny. Isn’t it interesting? Yes, it is. Wei Wuxian, stop playing. We are getting closer to Cloud Recesses. This time, pupils from all the famous clans will come. Don’t let others look down on us because of you. Okay. And you should keep this in mind too. From now on. Whatever we say and do represents the Jiang Clan of Yunmeng. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Wei Wuxian! Did you hear what I said? Yanli, we had a long hour from Yunmeng and we’re exhausted. I think we can find a tavern and get some rest, and then go to Cloud Recesses in order to keep a good image. Sure. There are ten more days before the ceremony. It’s been a journey, let’s rest here. Are we going to stay here for a while? I heard the Emperor's Smile liquor of Gusu is the most famous one. It tastes soft, yet full-bodied. Drink it to forget all your worries. I’ve been wanting it for a long time. Now, I can finally tast it. Wei Wuxian, don’t drink. I have to. Drinking can ease one’s mind. Why stop me? You! Father shouldn’t have let you come. You! Quite, both of you. Let’s find a tavern first. Wei Wuxian, remember to--I know. I can even recite your words now. I have to go. Yanli, look at him. I have a feeling that he will definitely make trouble at Cloud Recesses. Xian was born high-spirited. It’s not a bad thing. Father also says so sometimes. Yanli, you and father always defend him. There’s no way he would change his attitude. Besides, we, the Jiang Clan of Yunmeng, have always been told to be free, right?....

At Jinzhenhe Tavern. Waiter, what happened? Why did you suddenly run out? Sir. That was not our intention at all. An influential young man suddenly came here today. He booked the whole tavern and drove everyone out, except his people. Sir, im sorry, but i think it's better you find another tavern. Waiter! Oh, ladies. According to your orders all rooms have been tidied. And we have also sent other guests away. Please take these purfume bags. Put them in Young Master Jin's room. The chopped herbs inside can keep mosquitoes at bay. Mianmian, how considerate you are. No wonder our young master favors you. Stop that. You should be careful about this. Our young master is widely renowned. Please rest assured. I fully understand. Let’s go. Let’s check our young master's room. Please go this way, ladies. I see. They are the Jin Clan form Lanling. They must be here for the lecture too, and are planning to rest in Caiyi Town. Jiang Cheng, only a few members of the Jin Clan will occupy the whole tavern, and yet they still want the whole place. There’s no vacant tavern left in town. We have no choice. Lady Mianmian. May i have one of your perfume bags? Who are you? Who gave you the right to call me Mianmian? It’s her. She called you Mianmian. Why can’t I? Who on earth are you? Don’t call me that! All right. How about you tell me your real name? J won’t call you Mianmian then. Why should i tell you? You should say your own name before asking somebody else’s. That’s easy. I’ll say my name. Keep this in mind. My name is Yuandao. Yuandao... Yuandao... Mianmian. I can’t remember witch clans young master bears this name. But judging from his looks and demeanor, he doesn’t seem like a nobody. You... You teased me! What happened? Think about poetry. What’s next to "Green, green, the riverside grass"? "Green, green , the riverside grass. Long, long, missing that far road." Don’t say it out loud! Who would miss you? How shameless. So, Lady Mianmian, you came from the Jin Clan of Lanling, right? People say that girls from the Jin Clan are as preyas fairies. Now that I have seen one, I can’t agree more. So clever. I am Wei Ying from the Jiang Clan of Yunmeng. My courtesy name is Wuxian. We’re going to the Lan Clan of Gusu for the lecture and are resting in Caiyi Town. As fellow cultivators, surely Lady Mianmian won’t bear to see us sleep in the streets. So, Master Yuandao, you do have a decent name. However, as for the rooms... Mianmian. Our young master won’t bring a lot of people here anyway. These rooms are vacant for no reason. Not to mention, they arrived earlier. As in case, Young Master Wei, you and your party may stay. And I won’t bother our young master with this. Ladies, much obliged. Only a frivolous playboy like youcan take the rooms back from those girls. Yanli, listen to what he said! Jiang Cheng, I’ll generously take that as you being jealous of me. How about you two fight here and now? But, Yanli, who is that Young Master Jin that Mianmian mentioned? Who else could it be. They’re about the same age as we are and from the Jin Clan. If it’s not the youngest one, Jin Zizuan whk else could it be? I just wonder if Young Master Jin is still as fancy as he was when he was a child. Excuse me, I’m terribly sorry, but there aren’t enough rooms. Please leave these rooms as well. Young Master Jin. Young Master Jin. This is the best tavern in Caiyi Town? Yes, Young Master. This still can’t be compared to Carp Tower, it’s the best. As for the chairs, we, the Jin Clan, can make them out of black sandalwood. As for tecups, we only ue peacock green glazed porcelain. The te is stale. Let’s go check the rooms. This way, Young Master. Jiang Clan of Yunmeng, pleased to meet you. I suppose Junior Young Master Jin is also going to the Lan Clan as an auditor? Mind your manners! Our young master is Young Master Jin, not Junior Young Master Jin. Young Master Jiang is also passing by this place? Yes, we need to rest here. Unfortunately, every room in this tavern has been booked by us, the Jin Clan of Lanling. You guys better go elsewhere. Hey, we arrived earlier. You were earlier, so what? You ahould ho complain to the owner. Anyway, we booked the whole tavern. Our young master would rather not have associations some random folks. As for the lecture of the Lan Clan, there are only a few slots available for each clan. Junior Young Master Jin, you brought out a grand display with so many people. What’s your purpose? We’re Young Master Jin's servants. What’s wrong? So it’s true that the Jin Clan is ostentatious. But I heard the Lan Clan was strict and puritanical. Junior Young Master Jin has so many retinues. I’m really afraid you couldn’t stand that kind of suffering. Xian. Yanli. I’m just giving a friendly suggestion. How dare you insult our young master! Where are the manners of the Jiang Clan? How did I insult him? Tell me. You can confront me, but don’t involve the Jiang Clan of Yunmeng. Xian, Cheng. Go pack up. We'll find another place. Goodbye, Young Master Jin. Young Master. Your room is in the next one. Forgive me, Lady Jiang. I opened the wrong room. I mean no offense. You are to humble to say that. Isn’t the whole tavern yours? It’s said that the etiquette of the Jin Clan is of highly reputed. Now i can say otherwise. This Jin Zixuan, he is so arrogant! Yes. Be is flaunting himself just like a peacock. It’s a pitty that j couldn’t even touch the pot of Emperor’s Smile. Think of our situation. You’re still thinking about liquor? Did you see the look on Yanli's face? I just don’t know what Clan Master Jiang was thinking. Why did he arrange a marriage between Yanli and that peacock?

At Cloud Recesses

According to the Lan Clan's principles, everyone coming for to lecture won’t be allowed inside without an invitation. Oh, sir, I’ve told you a thousand times. We accidentally lost our invitations. We never intended to lose them. What’s more, we’re all standing here. Why would we lie to you? Sir, I can’t identify you people without an invitation. Look, the sun is about to set. You can’t just have us sleep on the streets, can you? How about this... Please fetch your clan leader. He had seen our sister. By then, he will know we’re being honest. Well then, please wait here for a moment until we change shifts at 5:45 p.m. At 5:45 p.m? The sun would have already set then. Xian. Behave yourself. But Yanli... As Father instructed, no matter what we can’t forget out manners. Let’s leave the gate and plan for our next step. As they we’re going to leave someone comes and they create a path he can go through. In Wei Wuxian's mind*who is he he can’t be real he is to perfect*. Second Young Master, welcome back. Who are looking for trouble? That must be Lan Zhan, I heard that the Lan Clan one of the twin jades, was here for the lecture too, and the younger brother of their clan leader, Lan Xichen. He must be our key to getting in. They all again created way for 4 cultivators who were caring a body. What happened? Just carry him inside. How did he end up like this? "End"? I don’t think he’s dead. He's cursed by some wicked sorcery. Wicked sorcery? Lan Zhan turned around from hearing what they were talking about. And looks at Wei Wuxian up and down then Jiang Cheng got in the way of his view. Second Young Master Lan, I’m Jiang Cheing from the Jiang Clan of Yunmeng, son of Clan Leader Jiang Fengmian. This is my sister, Jiang Yanli. My older brother, Wei ying or Wei Wuxian. Lan Zhan looks at Wei ying and goes closer to him. Wei ying. Yes. Lan Zhan whispers in his ear "Cute name" and smiles. Wei Wuxian started to blush. Thanks. What did he say? Nothing. Ok. They can come in. But they don’t have an invitation. Its an order. Yes sir.
