Episode 3

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.
