[A thatch house outside the city]
The story happened on a night with ghost fire and squealing foxes.
Outside the thatch house, the wind was raw and chilly.
Apart from occasional dog barks,
all is silent, dark and grim,
with a subtle noise of rustling leaves.
As if in a trance,
a man saw a shadow
trying to devour everything.
I'm losing control of myself!
Cheater, I'll make you pay
twice as much as you owe me!
Cheater!
Son, why don't you open the door for Mom?
[Sword E Flag]
A few days ago,
[A tea house in Qinghe County]
a local constable named Leng Lin suddenly died at home.
His dead body was all dried up when it was found.
There was no trace of any blood in him.
Drought demons?
[Bandit A] [Bandit B]
There's no such thing as a drought demon.
I don't believe drought demons exist!
You've gotta believe it!
Haven't you heard?
There have been several deaths lately!
What a bunch of downers!
-Let's go! -Go!
[Ling Lan]
To hell with those drought demons!
Even if drought demons truly exist,
[A forest in the suburbs]
I won't be afraid!
Brother!
Listen, women's voices!
[Metamorphosing Drought Demon]
Pretty women?
Gorgeous, what are you doing here?
Beautiful lady.
Don't you fear drought demons?
Drought demons?
Don't worry. I'll protect you.
Are you referring to creatures
like him?
[Hulking Drought Demon]
Help! Help!
Help!
[Leng Luofeng]
Sir, help me!
What happened?
Sir!
Sir, there's a monster!
It...
Sir, I'm scared.
You're scared?
I...
Don't go!
Miss,
are you okay?
Miss, this place is too dangerous.
You should go home now.
Don't you have better things to do?
What's wrong, nerd?
[Cui Hongsen]
Did you have a nightmare again?
[A room in Linglan Academy]
Listen up,
don't call me a nerd. Get off the table now.
What are you drawing?
Put it down!
Look at you, studying such stuff all day long.
It's no wonder that you'd have nightmares!
Let me tell you something.
I just saw Mr. Zhuge go out.
While he's away,
why don't I take you out for fun?
No need.
You're too obsessed with drawing these things!
It's said that Chunxiao House
has recruited some beauties from the south of the country.
One of them is reputed as the prettiest woman in the south.
Isn't watching beautiful girls better than looking at portraits of monsters?
Let's go!
Wait. Aren't you tired?
What do you know?
Dating one girl at a time
is the prelude of failure.
Dating multiple girls at a time
is the proof of allure.
Let's go!
[A street near Chunxiao House]
[Chunxiao House]
Let's go.
Sure.
I'm taking you to a lovely place
where you'll see everything!
[Chunxiao House]
Come here!
Mr. Cui, there you are!
It's been a long time since you last came here.
Lead the way.
This is gonna be a delightful visit!
You may go now.
Have fun!
Busboy, bring tea to Mr. Cui!
Got it!
Leave troubling issues for tomorrow.
Tonight there's no room for sorrow.
You're being too rigid and dull.
Sir, you've finally come.
I missed you so much during the few days we were apart.
So beautiful!
Gorgeous!
Why is it turning towards you?
Don't be shy. Come on.
[Puppet Drought Demon]
Help!
Run!
Sir,
thank you.
It's you.
Don't move!
Thank you for saving me again.
I promise I'll repay you in the future.
Nerd, we have a lot to do in a short time.
You've got a girl to flirt with while I need to make a fortune.
Now tell me how you felt.
I mean when that demon...
Lord!
[Zhao Jinyu]
You're useless!
Who are you?
You obstructed our investigation,
and let the murderer escape.
Do you know how you'll be punished?
We were just trying to help,
but we didn't know that monster was so formidable.
Here comes the Magistrate!
Greetings, Magistrate.
A drought demon appeared.
There's one more death.
[Sui Litao]
Who are you?
Magistrate,
they are students of Linglan Academy.
I'm Cui Hongsen from Linglan Academy.
Cui?
Then the owner of Shunhao Company Mr. Cui is...
He is my father.
And this is?
He is Leng Luofeng.
Nice to meet you, Magistrate.
As I heard, you two fought the demon.
Well, Magistrate,
we were just trying to help.
Magistrate, I recklessly
fought the drought demon on impulse at the sight of its appearance.
However, I was unable to defeat the demon,
so it managed to escape.
I'll accept any punishment.
Forgo the formalities.
Students of Linglan Academy like you are so impressive.
You're both young heroes.
Magistrate, you do have a good eye,
unlike Officer Zhao
who said we obstructed their investigation.
How dare you! Don't you be so smug!
Officer Zhao,
working on the case is your top priority now.
It's getting late.
You should go back to the academy.
-Thank you, Magistrate. -Thank you, Magistrate.
It's bold of you to use the puppet sorcery on me!
I might tell the Master about it.
Shouldn't you be leaving now?
You've done a good job today.
I'll take care of the rest.
I'm sure this guy will come find me.
Dry weather!
Use fire with caution!
Dry weather!
Use fire with caution!
Dry weather!
My son Jinyu,
the deadline is approaching.
All is settled. Make sure the ending will be perfect.
[Tong Xingye]
Help! I need help!
Who is there?
Lord!
Why is it you again?
I'm just a student named Leng Luofeng.
Greetings, Officer Zhao.
As a student of Linglan Academy,
you should know that it's the government's job to make arrests and investigate cases.
Officer,
I heard about the killings done by drought demons long ago.
Just now,
I happened to meet a drought demon.
Thinking that I'd be a constable in the future,
and that it'd be my duty to protect the citizens,
I decided to...
I beg for your forgiveness.
Let's go.
Yes!
[Memorial]
Miss Tong?
It's me!
Miss Tong, you...
I'm fine.
[Tong Jiayan]
You guys go back to sleep!
Yes.
Sorry. I didn't mean it.
Shut up!
Miss, hold on.
My name is Leng Luofeng.
We've met before.
I'm a student of Linglan Academy.
You're not an official.
What are you doing in my home?
Miss,
don't you want to find out who killed your father?
I have the same experience as you.
The same experience?
Why should I believe you?
Miss, I'm also looking for the murderer of my father.
Let go of me!
Sorry for being rude.
What are you trying to say?
In the past two months,
over ten people lost their lives.
Among them,
two people had connections.
The Painting of Monsters?
Yes.
Besides your father Tong Xingye,
another person died near this painting.
You mean that constable named Leng Lin?
Are you Leng Lin's son?
Yes.
So you came to my home to look for clues?
Yes.
I think
your father's death
has connections with my father.
Connections?
[Ledger]
I recall it.
Before my father passed away, he gave me a ledger.
It's over there.
[Ledger]
[Telekinetic Drought Demon]
Nice and slow. We're almost there.
[Linglan Academy]
Help! Open the door!
Help! Open the door now!
Who are you?
Nerd!
-What happened to you, nerd? -Get him in!
Cut the crap!
Who are you?
Nerd, last night you were fine.
W-Why would you be like this today?
[Be knowledgeable and courteous]
Officer Zhao, what is this about?
[Mr. Zhuge]
Mr. Zhuge,
we're carrying out our duties. Pardon us for intruding.
Search!
Hurry!
Last night,
someone
broken into the Tong Residence.
This person entered the crime scene without permission.
If it hadn't been for him,
could the ledger
have been burned by a drought demon?
Mr. Zhuge,
don't you think he obstructed our investigation?
No, he didn't.
Officer, this is a misunderstanding.
Leng Luofeng is a friend of mine.
I invited a friend to my home.
Couldn't I do that?
If it hadn't been for this young hero Mr. Leng,
that drought demon
would've probably killed me.
He's a student of Linglan Academy.
Without being authorized by the government,
he entered the crime scene and investigated.
If everyone does what he did,
how is the government supposed to work on cases?
Officer, it's the academy's job to educate,
and to teach the students to reward the just and punish the wicked,
so as to uphold justice.
We didn't expect that their private investigation
would disturb the work of the government.
The good thing is, this student meant well.
Since this is Leng Luofeng's first offense,
I've decided to ground him for 10 days,
during which he can ponder his mistakes.
Nerd!
I've never expected you to be this kind of person.
You never drop the ball at critical moments!
You're marvelous!
My arm's still injured.
Sorry.
I forgot about your injury.
[5 days later, in the old Leng Residence]
Don't move. You haven't recovered yet.
This sword... Hasn't the government...
Your father used to treasure this sword.
He asked me to look after it.
Of course I would do anything to get it back.
Thank you, Mr. Zhuge.
Though your father loved and used this sword for many years,
it's a shame that he couldn't capture the essence of it.
What a pity!
He knew you loved this sword since you were a child,
so he intended to leave it to you long ago.
[Yanling Sword Skills]
This book is about Yanling sword skills.
If you insist on investigating this case,
I won't try to stop you.
But before you get your revenge,
you need to learn how to protect yourself.
Only after equipping yourself with proper skills
can you be qualified to investigate this case.
Now I understand why you care so much about this case.
It turns out that Constable Leng was your father.
I didn't mean to hide the truth from you.
In order to protect me,
he never told anyone that he was my father.
I don't get it.
Mr. Zhuge and your father were good friends.
Why would he listen to Officer Zhao Jinyu,
and ground you?
You're so silly.
No, you're silly. Your whole family are silly!
Mr. Zhuge is clearly helping him.
Do you think Mr. Zhuge really means to punish him, silly boy?
Mr. Zhuge appears
to be grounding me.
In fact, he's giving me time
to rest and recover,
as well as to study martial arts.
We'll make plans before taking action, and wait for the right time to strike.
[Chunxiao House]
You finally came!
[Ling Lan's bedroom]
I was wondering what kind of pervert would enter my room.
It turns out to you, Mr. Leng, the young hero who saved my life.
Miss, sorry to offend you.
Mr. Leng, you dared to fight that ferocious drought demon,
but you wouldn't dare to look at me.
Does it mean
I'm scarier than that drought demon?
No, you're not.
Miss, you're attractive,
and strikingly beautiful.
I'm sorry for my abrupt intrusion.
Distant though you are, who would've known
how to praise others.
You really keep your eyes closed?
Didn't you say I'm pretty?
Then look at me.
Mr. Leng, you don't really mean it.
Even many dignitaries still don't get the chance to meet me.
I'll repay you tonight for saving my life.
I'll show you for nothing.
Miss, no kidding.
I'll take it off.
Miss, please don't.
Miss.
Miss...
Miss.
I'm sorry.
Miss,
where did you get
this painting?
I drew it.
Do you know
what's on the painting?
I don't know.
I've seen a painting
that looks very similar to what you drew.
So I drew it.
Have you seen
this painting then?
Can you draw it?
I have never seen
this painting.
But I think I've seen something similar
with this part.
Miss.
I'm sorry.
Please finish it.
How are you going to repay me?
I'll do everything I can
to repay you.
Really?
I won't break my promise.
Fine, let me ask you.
Have you kissed other girls?
No.
Really?
It's true.
Then I want you
to kiss me.
Miss.
You don't want to?
Then I have no choice.
I want you to remember my name.
Ling Lan.
[As dusk falls, the blue haze creeps in. Early autumn's dew forms like scattered pearls.]
[Brushing shoulders, the emerald sways. Fingers caress jade threads with a gentle touch.]
Through the window, the wind whispers its tune. Shadows cast by the waning moon on the pavement.
[In the scorching heat, a chill is felt. Narrow spaces expand.]
[Branches sway gracefully, like fans in motion. Low branches seem fit for crowning.]
[Emerald shadows envelop like a mist. Pearls scatter like raindrops in the verdant haze.]

♫ Spring breeze blushes, petals fall. ♫
♫ Rain of blossoms adorns the hall. ♫
♫ Butterflies dance in the narrow lane, ♫
♫ Yet elusive, you remain. ♫
♫ By the stone bridge, fisherman's light, ♫
♫ Capturing your silhouette bright. ♫
Come and take a look.
♫ In the cold city, mysteries abound. ♫
♫ No need to blame the willow's sound. ♫
So beautiful.
♫ Flowers fall, echoing your gaze. ♫
♫ Hooves fade, your warmth in haze. ♫
Candied haws!
♫ Who waits beyond the hill's veil, ♫
♫ For rain to fall, for boats to sail. ♫
♫ One soul, one town, alcohol to soothe. ♫
♫ Alone, with flowers in rain, the scene behoove. ♫
Two, please.
♫ Beyond the Great Wall, landscapes stand. ♫
♫ Misty moon on river, cries from distant land. ♫
Candied haws!
♫ Midnight ink, fleeting moonbeam, ♫
♫ Paints a myriad of lights agleam. ♫
♫ At the end of the flower rain, after the lights fade, ♫
♫ Still, no one comes to smell. ♫
♫ Amidst the chaotic blossoms, I vanish. ♫
♫ On the other side of the worldly affairs. ♫
♫ A letter of longing sent afar now in vain. ♫
♫ Looking back, no one to cherish. ♫
♫ Flowers fall in the city, like you looking at me. ♫

Come out.
[The slum]
Miss, you're here.
Yes.
I brought you something good.
Thank you.
You take care of
these kids?
Every child here
is just like an ant in the eyes of others.
No one would spare them a glance.
Every one of them
has a miserable experience.
Who are you?
Mom!
That year,
I was only seven.
I brought them osmanthus candy.
It's delicious.
I hope after they have it,
their lives will become less bitter.
I'll be with you
Thank you.
in the future.
I want to have it everyday.
I've never told anyone about my past.
Spring flowers and autumn grass
have short lives.
Even if your destiny is set,
you must live freely.
[Leng Lin]
Father.
It doesn't hurt.
Later...
[Linglan Academy]
My father
sent me to the academy.
Come in.
How did you know?
Because I'm thinking about you.
Did you draw this?
Does it look like you?
Yes.
But
not that similar.
It's you, but also not you.
It's you in my dream.
Let me ask you, who is that Miss Tong?
She's the daughter of that rich merchant Tong.
I just want to know your relationship with her.
We...we just met.
W-what's wrong?
What is this?
I've done what I promised you.
I'll take you to the mountain tomorrow.
Guests, please.
Master.
Please take a look.
Five-element map.
[Master Minmie]
Yes, Thunder and Wind.
If I'm right,
it's the five-element map.
Look.
These five elements are five beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
It's said that when the Yellow Emperor fought Chi You,
he managed to win because of the power of the Five-Element Beast.
These five elements are
Thunder, Wind, Rain,
Green Demon and the Boy from the Ninth Heaven
These five elements are all evil spirits.
If you gather them together,
you'll be able to destroy the world.
Leng Lin responds to Thunder.
Dong Xingye responds to Wind.
Put Rain and Green Demon aside,
The Boy from the Ninth Heaven
should correspond to the emperor.
Now that the emperor has passed away,
it should be...
The prince!
If their purpose is to collect all five elements,
the prince should have come to Qinghe Residence.
Master,
do you know this mark?
Yes.
It is said that there is a mark on the Five-Element Beast.
I think the reincarnation also has it.
Jiayan, does your father have this mark?
I remember.
I remember someone has it.
[Doctor Xue]
Uncle Xue.
Alright.
It's alright.
It will be alright.
Stop!
It's you again.
My lord.
It's less than a month
until your seclusion day.
Do you have anything else to say?
Take him away.
[Qinghe Government]
Where do you think this is?
You can come in as you like.
Go, go, go away.
Let me handle it.
Sir,
do you know Mr. Cui from Shunhao Company?
Mr. Cui?
That's my father.
I don't know him.
Sir, just ignore him.
You are so busy.
It's normal that you don't know Mr. Cui.
or Mr. Li.
My father's surname is Tong.
He's an old friend of Lord Sui.
We just want to
visit Leng Luofeng from Linglan Academy.
Please do us a favor.
Please.
I can't have the money.
Leng Luofeng has been brought to Lord Sui's home.
Leng Lin is your father?
Yes.
Do you know
I've known your father for many years.
I also met you when you were a kid.
But why did your father say...
When I was six,
my father sent me to Linglan Academy.
Your father was so careful that he didn't even tell me.
I see.
He did it to save your life.
Back then...
Let's go.
Your father was my teacher and friend.
I've always remembered his kindness.
Please help me, Lord Sui.
Help me find out the truth.
Find the murderer
and avenge my father.
I have a good news
and a bad news.
Which one do you want to hear first?
Tell me.
The bad news is Leng Luofeng will die soon.
What's the good news?
The good news is
he will die in your hands.
It seems that Sui Litao is in the way.
[Baihua Pavilion]
[Commissioner of Nanzhao Duke]
He knows I'm working for Lord Nanzhao.
He seems to be kind to me,
but he's always against me behind my back.
Just remove him out of the way.
Remember the most important thing now.
The next full moon is coming.
Hurry up.
Yes.
My father and Doctor Xue have known each other for a long time.
They've been in touch with each other for the past few years.
We found a ledger
as evidence.
Unfortunately, the Drought Demon appeared.
The demon failed to take it
so he burned it.
The one that was burnt that night?
Yes.
Why didn't I know
such an important thing?
My lord, I told you after that.
But Magistrate Zhao...
That informer Zhao Jinyu
doesn't care about the case,
and he wouldn't let us investigate.
Do you know who Zhao Jinyu is?
Who cares?
He's just an informer.
But behind him
is Nanzhao Duke.
Nanzhao Duke?
That's right.
Nanzhao Duke used evil magic to control Drought Demon
to obtain blood of five elements
and complete the ritual.
What ritual?
Please take a look.
These five paintings are the Five-Element Beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
The Five-Element Beast is a cult's sect.
By controlling Drought Demon,
Nanzhao can obtain the blood of the Five-Element Beasts
to complete the ritual before the full moon,
and obtain supreme power.
Besides,
I heard that the prince has come to Qinghe Residence recently.
So,
maybe the last target of Nanzhao Duke
is the prince.
But where can we
find the prince?
Why should we have to find the prince?
Since we already know it was done by Nanzhao.
Let's just...
Go on.
Are you out of your mind?
Nanzhao Duke is so powerful.
How can we defeat him?
So what?
The world is vast.
The world has its own rule.
Evil can never prevail over good.
Well said.
I didn't expect you have this courage
at such a young age.
Since Zhao Jinyu works for Nanzhao,
and they want to complete the ritual on the full moon night,
they will find the prince as soon as possible.
As long as we keep following him,
we will find the prince.
Zhao Jinyu will definitely cause you trouble.
Why don't you stay here for a few days?
I think he wouldn't dare to
fight with me in broad daylight.
Thank you so much then.
That's Tibetan incense.
I believe in Buddhism and built a Buddhist temple.
Assassin! My lord!
Be careful, my lord.
Go!
My lord.
Your father saved me back then.
After so many years,
you saved me again.
Who are you?
Why are you in my sister's room?
I came to visit her.
Don't you know?
She has left here.
Where did she go?
You're late.
She was lucky.
A landlord bought her with a large amount of money.
She was taken to the capital two days ago.
Did she really leave?
Of course.
Sir,
give up.
Go back.
The procuress will be back soon.
Why are you doing this to him?
What do you want?
Master said
since you fell in love with him,
if you don't do it,
we will do it.
This house
was where we lived together.
I've never told
anyone about this before.
So,
to me,
you are important.
You don't understand.
My life is no longer in my hands.
But whose life is simple?
Only by living,
I can avenge my father.
I saw this sword more than ten years ago.
You met my father?
Take it.
If you feel bitter,
have one to make your heart sweeter.
It's you.
It's you!
It's you.
Osmanthus candy.
It's really sweet.
I was young and naive.
I thought
candy will sweet everything.
Your candy has been sweet for more than ten years.
As long as I avenge my father,
I'll take you away from here.
The world is vast.
For the rest of my life,
I'll live only for you.
I really hope time
can freeze now.
Meeting you
is the luckiest thing to me.
Eventually, it was Zhuangzi who dreamed of being a butterfly.
Both a blessing and a curse.
Birds and fish take different path.
From then on, the mountains and waters
will never meet again.
Master,
what is Green Demon?
The Green Demon is an ancient magical beast.
That's a girl trapped by love,
and eventually became a bloodthirsty monster.
I'm afraid the next candidate for the ritual
has something to do with love.
Let me
do the last thing for you.
It's been 15 years. My Ling Lan
has blossomed into such a beauty.
Thank you for raising me, father.
I am incompetent.
I've been loyal to you for many years.
I know my life is as insignificant as mustard seeds,
but I still dare to bravely
offer my life, begging Father to spare Leng Luofeng.
You seem to fall in love.
I know that I don't have such a fate,
I don't ask Father to spare me.
I only hope
to die in his place,
using my blood
to feed the worms for you.
Ridiculous.
Do you truly believe I am unaware of your true nature after having nurtured you for so many years?
Your obedience
is not your true nature.
Perhaps keeping worms is just a facade.
You've already taken poison.
Once I eat the lips tainted with poisonous blood,
I would be afflicted by the poison.
I saved your life and raised you for so many years.
You called me 'Father' sincerely,
and I truly treated you like my daughter.
Is this how you repay me?
You saved me not because I am the reincarnation of the Green Demon, right?
Now, with the Five Elements Sacrifice,
only the Green Demon and the Crown Prince are left.
I'm willing to sacrifice myself to help you complete the ritual.
You've already killed Leng Lin.
I only ask you to spare Leng Luofeng.
The affection between us over the years, father and daughter,
I never expected to be so shallow in your heart.
You're right.
You are the reincarnation of the Green Demon,
but without experiencing the trials of love,
you are no different from an ordinary person.
I never wanted your blood
in the Five Elements Sacrifice.
I wanted you to get close to Leng Luofeng
because he embodies the essence of the Thunder God's bloodline.
Unexpectedly,
you've developed feelings for him,
completing the reincarnation.
People in the world hustle and bustle,
pursuing just a few taels of silver.
But only these few taels of silver
can alleviate countless worries.
However, these few taels of silver
shattered your dreams,
and ruined the vicissitudes of the world.
In the human world, there is no pure land.
Everyone has his own hardships.
Don't mock who the pitiful one is.
I have decided on Leng Luofeng's blood.
Ling Lan,
I've treated you like my own daughter.
I don't want to see you end in sorrow.
I've tested Leng Luofeng several times.
He is not swayed by appearances
and is worthy of your trust.
From now on,
I can't accompany you on this journey.
Take care of yourself,
and don't be sad.
He has been waiting for me for too long.
He's a fake.
No!
Ling Lan!
Are you okay?
Listen to me.
Don't cry.
Ling Lan.
No.
This is fate.
No.
Promise me
to live well,
okay?
Ling Lan.
Could it be...
Could it be that the love of demons can't match the love of human?
[Lingzhu Courtyard]
[Tomb of Beloved Wife Ling Lan]
In the world, there are 80,000 words,
[Tomb of Beloved Wife Ling Lan]
and only the word "love" inflicts the deepest wounds.
Life brings 3000 ailments,
yet lovesickness remains incurable.
Why are you crying?
Never mind me.
My youth
has already drifted away with the wind.
-Senior Brother. -Ling Lan.
Senior Brother, something happened.
What happened?
Tell me what happened.
There was something happened at the academy.
Mr. Zhuge asked me to find you.
If you want to arrest him,
you should state the crimes he has committed.
He's just a little servant in my academy.
You...
Little servant?
Who is he?
I think you, Mr. Zhuge, know better than anyone else.
Since you know his identity,
how dare you take him away?
He is in my hands.
What else do you have to say?
Come with me.
[Knowledge and Virtue]
Crown Prince is here. Protect His Highness.
Zhao Jinyu is an undercover agent of the Duke of Nanzhao,
a cult member.
[Crown Prince]
The Duke of Nanzhao, being a castrated man,
secretly established a chaotic faction within the Five Elements Cult.
Due to its enormous influence,
there has been no opportunity to take action.
Today, the Crown Prince faced threats,
so he was promptly executed.
As for you all,
lower your weapons
and pay respects to His Highness.
Please forgive me for being late to the rescue, Your Highness.
Lord Sui, no need for formalities.
This painting resembles you,
yet not quite you.
It's the you from my dreams.
[Together with you until the end, may we grow old together in the future.]
[Record of Hundred Worms]
[Beauty lips]
It smells fishy.
That's Tibetan incense.
I built a Buddhist temple to worship.
Once a person dies, he cannot be resurrected.
Miss Ling, though she was a courtesan,
was a person of deep emotions and loyalty.
She died for you.
This is the fate of the Green Demon.
[Beauty lips]
It's him.
After eating the Beauty lips,
he covered it with Tibetan incense to conceal the scent.
And besides me,
no one else knows that Ling Lan was the reincarnation of Green Demon.
I found this when I was cleaning up my father's belongings.
Physician Xue and my father
had been collecting gold and silver,
and they both followed the orders of one person.
Sui Litao.
No one is there.
Constable Wang.
We've been deceived,
My lord.
The Crown Prince and Mr. Zhuge are in the forest outside,
where
there is
a stronghold.
Constable Wang.
The Five Elements are in place,
and the world is settled.
With my profound skills,
everything in the world is under my control.
[Five Elements Ridge]
Giddy up!
[Five Elements Ridge]
Luofeng.
I've been drugged.
Hurry!
The Crown Prince.
Sir.
The murderer is not the Duke of Nanzhao,
nor Zhao JinYu,
it's you.
Did you realize it too late?
You hate the Duke of Nanzhao so much.
Why were you still acting so rudely?
I lurked in yuanhuo,
concealed within the Five Elements Divine Sect,
waiting for the day when I could seize its power.
Wouldn't that be marvelous?
What about my father?
He saved you,
but you repaid him with enmity.
Your father was a man of loyalty and righteousness.
I once respected him,
but unfortunately,
he was a stubborn man.
He couldn't see through all of this.
Someone had to sacrifice,
and he died as he deserved.
What about Ling Lan?
After I saved her life,
I raised her for 15 years.
It was all because of you.
Since you started investigating the case,
I had Ling Lan deliberately approach you
to lead your investigation in the direction
to the Nanzhao Duke.
Unexpectedly, she developed feelings for you,
and even more unexpectedly, you have the blood of the Thunder God.
Your blood,
just like that of the true Dragon Emperor,
is equally useful.
Unfortunately, the Green Demon is indeed worthy of the name,
willing to give up everything for love.
Unable to kill me,
she begged me to be willing to die for you.
With the blood of the true Dragon Emperor and then your blood,
I can obtain divine power to control the world
without killing her.
But she wanted to kill me,
to kill me for you.
That's why she had to die.
In order to conceal his identity,
your father hasn't used this sword for over a decade.
But now even if the Yanling sword is in your hands,
it is of no use.
You've overestimated yourself.
Nerd.
Luofeng.
Are you okay?
Nerd.
Unconsciously,
[Dream Scene-Family]
you've grown so much.
Remember,
when pouring wine,
pour seven-tenths full
to avoid spills.
Always
leave room for flexibility.
That's how you'll find happiness.
I'll remember.
I'm sorry.
I haven't been able to avenge you
all these years.
You must learn to let go of hatred.
Don't let hatred blind your eyes.
Only by learning to forgive others
can you become a true strong person.
While bearing responsibilities,
I also hope you can find happiness.
If there's still time,
I really want to have a chat with you again.
[Dream Scene-Love]
♫The spring breeze disturbs the horse on the ancient road, and the swallows sing around the eaves.♫
♫Beyond the fence, faint smoke curls, separating from the worldly hustle and bustle.♫
♫Both you and I know that longing will make people age.♫
♫In March, butterflies stay overnight on the tips of your hair.♫
♫Just looking back, I've already captured it.♫
♫Willow branches shake in the ink-painted bridge. Your waist is illuminated by the setting sun.♫
♫Who dares to compete with your figure, already leaving me intoxicated.♫
The ferryman is coming.
I have to go.
Then I'll go with you.
♫Just forget about troubles. I only want to make you laugh in this life.♫
You still have things to do.
Your friends are still waiting for you. Have you forgotten?
♫With you, there is no loneliness. In the mortal world, I'm infatuated with your embrace.♫
As long as I can be with you, I...
♫When you arrive, I hear the rustle of pear blossoms.♫
An old friend came to mind suddenly.
♫I know your tenderness.♫
When I was looking back, I saw that the mountains and rivers were already in autumn.
♫Willingly, day and night, I'll follow you to roam freely.♫
Lovers who are not together getting caught in the snow
♫When you arrive, I see the pear blossoms fluttering away,♫
can be considered growing old together.
♫drifting away from the hustle and bustle.♫
♫The bridge of fate in this life.♫
Ling Lan.
♫I fish together with you, quietly growing old.♫
Aren't you trying to avenge your father?
Aren't you trying to avenge Ling Lan?
Come on.
Do it!
They said you're
incompetent,
just like your father.
You'll never achieve anything significant.
The court is in need of talents now.
Luofeng, are you willing to follow me to Shangjing
and assist the prince in governing the country?
Sir, how big of an official position is that?
Will he get some imperial plaque
with "The Best Constable in the World" written on it?
Thank you, Sir.
I am dull-witted.
I'm afraid I still need time and practice to take on such a heavy responsibility.
Come on, don't be like that. Go serve now.
You're really obsessed with officialdom. If you want to go, go by yourself.
How am I obsessed with officialdom?
I just want to become the best constable.
It's getting late, Your Highness.
The world is not yet settled.
I will surely become a wise emperor.
I, Luofeng, am willing to stabilize the country
and ensure the well-being of the people.
Let's go to Shangjing.
My brother, you've finally come to your senses.
Let's go to Shangjing.
I see you like to talk a lot.
What do you know?
I heard there are many fun things in Shangjing.
