'The Blood of Youth'

Episode 37

I was so close.

Don't say I'm useless.

Know where you missed a step?

Where?

That step was me.

All-Knowing Hall wasn't enough to stop Red Prince.

So he came back earlier than you expected.

Had you sent me, they wouldn't have returned at that time.

See, you can't answer.

Ruoyi.

What do you think?

Where's Lei Wujie?

I'll find him.

Ruo...

You tell me.

Look at you.

Scaring people away.

Sit down.

Last night I pondered and figured it out.

You didn't take me for fear I'd be in danger?

Yes. Due to me, you're at risk too often.

Tianqi matters will end soon.

Then you can return to Snow-Moon freely.

But you saw it— but for me, you guys were in danger.

If you leave me out again, I'll really be mad.

When I'm angry, you know the danger.

Xiao Se.

If I don't go back to Snow-Moon, it's fine.

If I can be wherever you are,

anywhere is fine.

Xiao Se, hear me?

I hear.

What? Patriarch is dead?

Near here yesterday,

Su Muyu, Lei Wujie, Li Fansong and Feixuan,

plus Fairy Rui, ambushed Patriarch.

He got hit by Cloudburst Pear Blossom Needle.

Su Muyu killed him.

Useless!

All useless!

Your Highness, be calm.

And Hidden River others?

Those others retreated, leaving a few Drug-Men

unawakened in secret chambers.

Damn it.

Send two messages, one to Nanjue.

Xiao Chuhe faked news of Nanjue envoys in Tianqi.

So he knew I was in contact with Ao Yu.

In that case, speed things up.

Tell Nanjue to make a move at the best time.

Just when is best?

The day my godfather arrives is best.

Send the second message to Muliang.

Muliang City —

Tianqi City —

You called me back urgently. What happened?

We got news from old Hallmaster.

Dad?

Luo Qingyang left?

Yes.

He left 5 days ago, heading towards Tianqi.

With his speed, won't he soon reach Tianqi?

Luo Qingyang is Red Prince's godfather.

Must be Red Prince's request.

Seems he called Lone Sword Deity to rip you apart.

Xiao Se.

Of Five Sword Deities, how strong is Lone Sword Deity?

Compared to Zhao Yuzhen, he's stronger.

But aloof Luo Qingyang won't meekly obey Red Prince.

He wants to take someone away and will fight hard.

This is trouble.

Who'll he take away?

Consort Xuan.

Jianghu rumours say Luo Qingyang loves

his martial sister, Yi Wenjun,

but it's unrequited.

Consort Xuan wed twice but never chose him.

Lone Sword Deity is a half-step below Arcane Spirit.

We're no match for him.

Let's write to my dad?

Third City Lord can't leave Snow-Moon.

Peerless City watches Snow-Moon's every move.

With two city lords gone, if he leaves,

forces eyeing Snow-Moon will make a move.

So we're on our own.

Inform Peerless City

this is my last chance and their best chance.

Aye.

Lone Sword Deity will attack.

With Wrath Deity here, why invite Wushuang?

Master and Lone Sword Deity are among top five.

But if they really duel, Master won't easily win.

If Wrath Deity is no match,

Wushuang might not defeat Lone Deity.

If he is injured, won't you lose a big support?

If it's true Wushuang can control the Sword Box,

he has a chance to defeat Lone Deity.

Wonder what they'll do.

They?

I'm sure Chuhe will seek a way.

— Ascension Tower — Snow-Moon City

Who's troubling Snow-Moon?

You're Peerless City's young City Lord.

Just "City Lord". Why add "young".

Indeed Song Yanhui's cur disciple.

Watch out!

His sword art is superb, as good as Master.

Is this legendary Sword Command Art?

I'm still mastering Six Gambles.

I'm no match for him.

Stop.

Peerless City Lord.

Did you come to challenge me?

Long awaited.

Cloudshuttle, Gentlefrost, Windsorrow,

Vanished Shadow, Life Taker, Broken Trial,

Maple Leaf, Butterfly, Finger Wrap, Jade Wish.

Go!

These 10 flying swords aren't enough.

Then, 2 more?

Boundless, Vast.

City Lord Sikong, how's that?

You've a chance to fight; no chance of victory.

I see.

I'll fight when I can win. Thank you.

You came to show me flying swords?

I'm to go to Tianqi.

Return is uncertain. I had wishes.

First, I came here to see you and gauge my strength.

Second, to see Fairy Luoxia.

See me?

Why see me?

Well...

Master gave up Deity goals.

In Sword Cottage seclusion, he got insight.

He invites you to meet him.

You're talking of holy Fairy. You...!

Don't get het up.

Master, you can't agree to it.

That shameless guy obviously wants you back.

Master, you can't meet.

If I go, so what?

I just won't follow him.

You go, what do I do?

You're not a kid. Live without me.

Sure, I'm not a kid.

So...

So, what Song Yanhui can give you, I can give you.

- What's he doing...? - What's he saying...?

This is— a confession!

Not a kid.

What an adult gives, you can give.

Why's that sound a bit strange?

Your brain broke.

No.

A Beauty like you is around me every day.

If I felt nothing, my brain would be broken.

I'm your Master.

So, 'first come, first served'.

'Keep benefits in the family'.

I'm vague but those sayings don't fit.

I knew you were odd, brat.

Yet I didn't expect you had nerve to say that to Fairy.

Know how many young talents confessed to Fairy?

She beat them all off.

But you have a point.

Well?

Disciple and Master can be in a relationship, yes?

Shut up.

Tell him I'm not coming.

Some things can be awaited once in life.

He gave up last time. There'll be no more.

Master, spot on!

Brat.

Shut up.

Looks like swallows return; love won't return.

I'm sorry for my Master.

Farewell.

Guest.

Any food left?

Sorry, guest. The kitchen is closed.

That lady has food.

Guest, think twice—!

Big Sis, I'm hungry from travel.
