Magic Star (奇星记之鲜衣怒马少年时)

Elder,

Bai Ze and the others have already been locked up in prison.

But... may Elder reconsider old relationships

and let A Ji Ya go.

A sect traitor not mending her ways.

She should have been executed to begin with

or else it is a disrespect to the Three Gods of Illumination.

I can use my life to guarantee that A Ji Ya didn't betray the sect!

It is not you who decides if she betrayed the sect or not.

As long as Elder can let A Ji Ya go,

I am willing to do anything.

May Elder allow it.

The Illuminati has always been a grand sect of the mortal world for hundreds of years.

Do you know why it ended up to this current state?

It was all the Emperor's fault.

Right now, in your heart, you probably understand well

that the legend about the Magic Stars has already come true.

Such items with invincible might should belong to the Illuminati in the first place.

To reestablish the Heavenly might of our Three Gods of Illumination.

But how about A Ji Ya?

She refused the task of gathering the Magic Stars for the Three Gods of Illumination.

Yes. I was negligent in my duty.

Negligent?

Just begging Elder to consider that A Ji Ya is still very young--

Very young?

When she had her first kill, you still weren't her equal.

Gong Zi Xu, rather than trying to help her fulfill her wish,

why don't you think first on how to save yourself.

As long as Elder agrees to let A Ji Ya go,

I am willing to take A Ji Ya away from here and never to return again.

Gong Zi Xu,

are you currently bargaining with me?

From your looks, you've already decided to go against me.

You can't be like before as a dog listening to my orders anymore.

Fine.

This day will come sooner or later.

Then today, I'll send you to the Bestow Punishment Prison to feed Metal Armor.

How about it?

Scared already?

Then go back to A Ji Ya's side and get some useful information.

After all, for the cold and heartless A Ji Ya,

you're still valuable.

As long as I charge into Bestow Punishment Prison,

you will let A Ji Ya go, is that it?

It's not to charge into but to break through it.

Okay.

Metal Armor is heartless. I initially planned to give you a chance to survive

and also want to give A Ji Ya a survival chance.

But you won't choose it so I can't do anything about it either.

The most terrible thing in this world is that there is no medicine to undo regrets.

Open the door! - Open the door! Hey!

Open the door! Is there anyone?!

You move back.

Do you two plan to forcefully enter the sacred place of the Illuminati?

We want to see Elder Jiong Ye.

He is not someone you can see just because you want to.

Put down your sword.

Put down your sword!

Prepare to shoot the arrows!

Wait!

I'll put it down then. Who's afraid of who?

For situations like this, I've already seen a lot of them.

Here. Help me hold this sword.

What?

Are you going to invite me for tea?

Take them down!

Mister Zi Xu, you're on your own.

Let's go.

A Ji Ya, I indeed wasn't the destined person to save you.

Lord!

He Cao, why did you come in here?

I saw that Mister entered.

I then also secretly followed your entrance.

You really are something.

Mister, let's go.

If later he climbs up again, we will be in big trouble.

Let's go. - Go.

Elder Jiong Ye.

A Ji Ya, you're awake.

You are indeed Elder Jiong Ye.

No need for formalities.

I looked for a long time before I was able to find you.

You most likely already knew about it in these few days.

In the past years that you left, I developed a mental illness.

Good thing that Heaven has eyes.

A Ji Ya respectfully greets Teacher.

Don't move. Don't move.

Respectfully greeting Teacher. - Don't move.

Your injuries were quite severe.

Teacher, I already found the people who killed my father.

Then do you still hate them?

I still can't take you out of here for now.

This place is safer than outside.

For the matters about the Illuminati, I'll make Zhao Ran pay for them.

Teacher, this incense...

The fragrance inside the scent cauldron is helpful to calm your nerves.

Just rest here for now.

Men!

Teacher, then about the Magic Star that I left in your care...

Child, you must believe the there is still light.

It's just that it got buried by darkness for now.

And the Magic Stars, they don't belong in the mortal world.

Teacher!

Teacher...

It was all your fault.

Why must you slash some door?

It's really great now. We got locked up in here.

You tell me what to do now.

How will I be able to save my father now?

A Ji Ya?

What are you doing? - Elder Zhao Ran has orders

that whoever enters the Bestow Punishment Prison without permission will be killed regardless.

Attack!

Let's go!

What do we do? How are we going to face A Ji Ya now?

How will I know?

Say, would she throw a dagger and kill us?

She probably wouldn't.

But your father and my father connived to kill her father.

Do you need to point that out?

But isn't that the truth?

How about we just go over there and apologize to her?

If apologizing is useful, then what's the use of government officials?

Then let's not apologize anymore.

If one does something wrong, one should still apologize.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go apologize.

That...

A Ji Ya... - A Ji Ya...

A Ji Ya, sorry. - Sorry.

Say it. What do you want us to do?

As long as you become happy, we can do anything.

Right. Right. Right. Anything is fine.

Tell us.

Can you return my father and mother back to me?

Or can you give me back the childhood years that I originally should have experienced?

Can you kill yourself to pay for your crimes?

Can't do it? What nonsense are you two still spouting here?

A Ji Ya, you've changed.

You were not like this before.

I followed you all initially because I had a motive.

I only did it for the Magic Stars.

That's why you had to fool our feelings?!

Tell me. Where are the remaining Magic Stars kept?

You already searched us.

We don't have the thing that you want.

Do you want us to use torture on you two?!

Ah Ning!

Then...

May I ask you to help me look at this?

For this, I'm afraid that I have to disappoint you.

I really can't read it.

Hey! Hey!

Is it because I am too kind, is that it?

I really can't read it.

Wait!

The Magic Star was stolen by A Ji Ya.

After you saying that, you kind of reminded me.

Although A Ji Ya will not easily tell me where she stored the Magic Star,

but exchanging your lives with it,

I think... maybe there is hope.

Men! - Here.

Bring A Ji Ya here. - Yes!

Yuan Shuai, why did you tell them that?

Then let's talk about something that's outside the topic.

Do you feel honored that you are the descendant of the Heaven Strategy Envoys?

Of course.

Working for the Emperor is naturally honorable.

Working for the Emperor?

What a good 'working for the Emperor'.

That's right.

The Heaven Strategy Envoys are the running dogs of the Emperor

who did so many shameful deeds.

Upon turning their face, wearing a sacred light on their heads (working under the Emperor), they now become heroes?

What a joke!

The world now is in turmoil.

That is because the Emperor wanted to destroy my Illuminati!

Whether people will degenerate once they lose the Illuminati that I don't know,

but the Illuminati will surely degenerate into an evil sect that kills and eats people.

Elder Jiong Ye?

I really never thought that you could still be fully awake.

You were still able to cure yourself from a Phoenix Fire poison that has been cursed.

Impressive. Impressive.

Why must you tell A Ji Ya her real identity?

We didn't tell her when she was little

because it would make A Ji Ya peacefully stay in the Illuminati and serve us.

But right now...

Why are you being agitated by it?

Because... I am the Zhan Ke, a previous Heaven Strategy Envoy.

Zhan Ke?!

Zhan Ke?!

I'm afraid that Elder Zhao Ran must be looking for us all over to arrest us.

He Cao, don't worry.

We will get out.

But... we have already went against the rules of going around the labyrinth.

I'm afraid that we have never been to these places.

There might be fatal danger.

He Cao, when you went into the Bestow Punishment Prison with me, you didn't look this afraid.

As long as I am with Mister, I'm not afraid of dying.

Sorry.

Because of A Ji Ya's matter, I also brought you danger.
