Love and Destiny (宸汐缘)

Timing and Translation carefully crafted by the Divine Destiny Team at Viki

I'm back.

You're back. Did you encounter troubles on the way?

If you still hadn't returned, I was planning to go look for you.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

It smells like herbs.

Are there mosquitoes and pests in your room?

No.

Teacher Shen gave it to me.

Teacher Shen?

Aunt Guan introduced us.

The weather is hot and dry so mosquitoes and pests will be a nuisance. I have some herbs here.

I am gifting them to you to drive away the insects.

No need.

If someone gives it you, just take it.

This is also a kind intention of Teacher Shen.

Thank you, Teacher Shen.

Miss A'Mo, no need to be courteous. I do not know needleworks.

These herbs will dry in a few days.

If you could sew the herbs into a satchet,

it will help you get through midsummer.

May I ask if you know female crafts?

Could you make a satchet for me?

I don't know how to.

Sorry, I have very poor female craft skills

and I do not like needleworks.

Teacher Shen, if you need it,

why don't you go take a look in town.

Yes, they sell them.

You went on a matchmaking meeting?

I guess it was.

Didn't you say last time that you didn't want to go?

I also didn't want to go.

It was Aunt Guan that deceived me into going.

What kind of person is that Teacher Shen?

What does he do and where does he live, do you know?

We just briefly met, how would I know?

He is a teacher.

Other than that, I don't know.

You must know about it. After all, this concerns your lifetime's happiness so you must carefully think it over.

Okay.

I'll go prepare our meal.

A'Mo, what's your impression of Teacher Shen?

Aunt, let's just forget about it.

Forget about it?

You two already met, why should we forget about it?

Your uncle and I never saw each other before we got married.

Besides, both of you don't have your parents.

Or else, you would not even have the right to decide for your own.

Now, you two have met. It is better to decide quickly if you want this to succeed or not.

I've heard,

that a lot of matchmakers frequenting his private residence lately.

Aunt, I really...

Brother Xiu.

A'Mo. - Why are you here?

It's raining. I came to pick you up.

You cannot see yet you still roam around.

What if... - I'm okay, aren't I?

Can you leave now?

Aunt, we're...

You two hurry and go back. Go.

Thank you, Aunt Guan.

You know me?

I hear A'Mo talk about you quite often. Thank you for your taking care of her in the shop.

I want to thank you on behalf of A'Mo.

You are welcome. A'Mo is a very likable girl.

You two hurry and go back. Go.

Aunt, we'll take our leave then.

Take care.

Lift... lift your leg.

Although this Brother Xiu's eyes aren't well,

he is quite good-looking.

What's wrong, A'Mo?

There's a box.

Box?

Questions about the Flower World Answered, from Shen Peishu.

Xiaobai, behave.

Don't be afraid.

A'Mo.

Xiu... Brother Xiu.

Did I wake you?

No.

What are you doing?

I was reading but the candle went out.

I came to look for some flint.

It's so late, stop reading.

It's not good for your eyes. Read tomorrow.

Okay. Then you should sleep soon as well.

A'Mo, go back to your room. Sleep soon.

Okay.

Yuantong requests to meet with Tianlei Zhenjun.

Senior Deity.

Zhenjun, I think Jiuchen has returned to Polar Abyss.

Is what Yuantong said true?

We'll know if it's true or not once we investigate.

But Zhenjun, you personally made the order to seal off Demon Tower.

We can't enter. How are we to investigate the legitimacy of Farmer God’s Cauldron.

You can't enter so think of a solution.

Farmer God’s Cauldron is a treasure of the Six Realms.

It is the item suppressing the Demon Tower.

If anything bad happens to the Demon Tower, the world will fall into chaos.

As a High God of the Heavenly Race,

I definitely, definitely cannot allow anything to happen.

I will personally go to investigate.

If you don't cut the jade, - If you don't cut the jade,

it won't be useful. - it won't be useful.

If a person doesn't learn, - If a person doesn't learn,

they won't understand. - they won't understand.

As a son,

while you were little...

Everyone did well today. Let's end here.

Thank you, teacher.

Let go home!

We're going home!

May I ask if you are Teacher Shen Peishu?

I am indeed.

You are...

My surname is Xiu, I am Lin Mo's older brother.

Oh?

Sir, please have some tea. - Thank you.

I have some questions.

Miss A'Mo's surname is Lin, while yours is Xiu.

Are you two cousins?

No.

The matter is a bit complicated.

But, you only need to know

that we are not siblings but are better than siblings.

So that is the case.

When you were still having your class earlier, I was outside the door listening for a while.

I know that you are well-versed in scriptures, historical books, and poems. A very educated man.

But... - What?

May I ask why you did not seek for a famous career and instead stayed here to teach?

My passion is with beautiful mountains and rivers.

I do not want to strive for fame and fortune.

Is it passion for mountains and rivers,

or repeatedly failing the exam? - I—

For official career, if you fail once, you can take it again.

If you fail it again, you can give it a third try.

Just because of a short period of failure,

how could you disregard the efforts of your familiy,

covet for a beautiful wife,

be used to a leisure life?

This is my business. - This is indeed your business.

Just that because you and A'Mo know each other,

as her older brother, I must know everything.

What you mean then is?

What I mean is

at present,

you are not suitable to be married.

I have heard from Aunt Guan

that Miss A'Mo has a very caring older brother.

Seeing you today, you are indeed very caring.

I understand your pupose for coming here today.

Observing your manner of speech, you surely are not a common folk.

I am just an ordinary scholar.

I dare not be involved in conflicts.

If you really like Miss A'Mo,

why not personally tell her?

If you really like Miss A'Mo,

why not personally tell her?

Xiaobai, are you hungry?

I am too.

Let us wait for Brother Xiu first so we can eat together.

Brother Xiu!

A'Mo.

Why are you back so late? Where did you go?

Just walked around nearby.

Then, let us eat.

The meal is ready.

I can smell alcohol.

Brother Xiu, your nose

works way better than Xiaobai's.

The peach wine would be ready by tomorrow.

I will go serve dinner.

Brother Xiu, peach wine. Have a taste.

You are not drinking?

I... cannot drink.

I get drunk with one drop.

I am fine with smelling the aroma.

So fragrant.

A'Mo.

I have a lot of things I have not told you yet.

My mood today is very good.

There is wine and food too.

Do you want to hear them?

Sure.

I am not from here.

My hometown is in a very, very far place.

I am from the Shanling Tribe.

A'Mo, my hometown is very beautiful.

There are flowers that never wither throughout the four seasons. There are very clear lakes whose bottom can be seen.

The trees there are so tall they reach the clouds.

Unlimited number of birds.

When you wake up in the morning, push open the window,

there would be birds all over rising up to the sky, just light smoke and minimal clouds.

People there have a comfortable life.
