Back From the Brink (护心)

Elder Lingfei.

Immortal Yunmeng.

I found it.

The culprit of the destruction

of Guanghan Sect's three monasteries on Sanchong Mountain

is Crown Prince of Qingqiu,

Zhuli.

Outrageous!

Qingqiu and Spirit Clan

went too far this time!

They seized the opportunity when my sister's life star fell

and Lingxiao

was away at Starhaven.

Did they really think we were without a leader?

We will make them pay for this!

Yes! -That's right!

We will make them pay! -We will make them pay!

Make them pay!

Now the evil dragon is missing.

A nine-tailed fox

could cross the Obsidian River

right under our watch.

I shall capture

this fox spirit!

Sorry.

He threatened you?

Let's go.

Quick, Bai Xiaosheng.

No.

I can't stay in the Taoist clan.

We have to cross the river now.

The Taoists and the Spirits

guard their borders tightly.

After we cross the river,

perhaps Tianyao

won't find us so easily.

When we reach Qingqiu,

we should be able to shake him off.

No matter how powerful he is,

he needs more than just magic spells

to cross

the Obsidian River.

Let's gather some bamboo sticks.

You said it was called Ganhong bamboo.

Why is it green instead of red?

Are we getting the right plant?

This should be it.

The marking on the map shows...

Yanhui.

I prepared the bamboo for you.

How did you find us?

Here is the only boat crossing

to avoid the Taoists

and reach Qingqiu.

Qingqiu?

No one is going to that lousy place.

I don't know

what you've done to Yanhui,

but I know

you have always wanted to take her to Qingqiu.

The Ganhong bamboo looks the same as normal bamboo.

Its color changes after it's cut down.

Of course I know that.

Did you think I got the wrong bamboo?

Why do you

keep pestering us?

It's none of your concern.

How is it none of my concern?

She and I

went through life and death together.

Whatever concerns her

concerns me.

She doesn't want to see you.

Don't you get it?

Yanhui.

Yanhui?

You already took the Heart Protecting Scale.

What more do you want?

Won't you show me the slightest mercy?

No.

Why won't you stop pursuing her?

You...

What?

When Yanhui confessed to you

and you apologized to her,

I thought

you only did so because you had to leave her love

unanswered.

I'm sorry.

to steal

the Heart Protecting Scale from her back then.

So...

You were apologizing

for my life.

That's not true!

There is nothing more

she can give you.

Spare her.

Step aside.

This is between Yanhui and me.

Don't go.

I'm not going anywhere.

Yanhui.

I want to speak in private.

How dare you even ask?

Bai Xiaosheng.

I know

we are no match for him,

but we are

in the same boat.

You can't leave me

when I need you

the most.

Yanhui.

Don't worry.

I'm not like him.

Fine.

I'll help you cross the river.

No!

Stay away!

Yanhui.

Let's go.

Bai Xiaosheng.

Who are you?

Are you blind or what?

I am Crown Prince of Qingqiu.

If you help me defeat

the Taoists,

I will reward you handsomely.

Are you nuts?

They are here! Stop them!

Fox spirit! You are cornered!

Lingfei?

Yanhui?

What are you doing here?

I...

I...

Very well.

Not only did you conspire with the evil dragon

to destroy Yongzhou City,

but you also conspired

with the fox spirit

to destroy our monasteries!

That is not true!

It's a complicated story.

I don't know if you'll believe me,

but I...

You are a traitor.

I'll make sure

you die by my sword today!

Hold on!

Martial Aunt,

you got it all wrong.

This is his fault.

He is the evil dragon!

He is the one

who took me hostage and destroyed Yongzhou City.

He conspired with the fox spirit

to destroy the Guanghan Sect's mountains.

Yes.

It's his doing.

I can prove it.

So what if it's me?

Time to go.

I'm going to kill you.

I must avenge my sister!

What?

Have you dealt with those Taoists?

Are you also crossing the river? -Can we share the raft?

I think

it's safer for the three of us

to cross the river together.

What do you think?

Yeah!

You have a point.

Let's go.

Bai Xiaosheng, are you all right?

Tie yourself

to the raft.

If not, you might fall into the water.

Come on.

Yanhui.

Bai Xiaosheng!

It's too dangerous.

Just go without me.

Don't be absurd.

Yanhui!

Yanhui?

Stay away!

Stay away!

Stay away!

There's no more

Heart Protecting Scale in my body.

Don't tell me you'll do it again.

No.

I have no ill intentions.
