Don't you

still owe me a wish?

Then, I'll wish

for this now.

I must find a way

to stop this from happening.

(I almost forgot about the important thing.)

Give it to me.

What?

My hair.

Priest, you have beautiful hair

but I only took a strand.

When I return to Western Huang,

I won't be seeing you again.

I'm keeping this hair

to reminisce about

the sunset we saw today

in the valley.

Priest,

please give me this memory.

Memory?

Your wish has been granted.

Not erasing your memories

is my mercy for you.

Don't raise more problems.

Priest.

How can you turn on me like that?

You are still the same.

I wish you only remember the magic techniques

and not me

when you return to Western Huang.

Hand it over.

The Priest's hair

is so black and soft.

It's pretty.

Princess Zhu Yan.

Come in.

Did you get it?

Here you go.

How is it? I do keep my promises.

Thank you.

Wait a second.

Qing Gang wouldn't use poison

even during a life-and-death situation.

Why would he use the Priest's hair

to improve his magic technique?

He's definitely not

a man of evil ways.

No way. I have to go take a look.

They have indeed merged.

Priest of Grand Preceptor.

I'm sorry.

Qing Gang.

Is this what you call

the enhancement technique?

I don't think it looks like it.

It seems like you are trying to harm someone.

And this brush.

What is this?

Princess Zhu Yan.

I don't want to hurt you.

It's all right if my friend hurt me,

I'm just afraid to be used by a friend.

You either come with me

to speak to the Priest

about this

or kill me

to shut my mouth.

What? Can't you do it?

Don't blame me then.

Is she going to report it?

Go.

Priest.

Priest.

Is this important?

is made from your lanugo

on the 100th day after you were born.

The first word you wrote

was your name.

Tell me.

What is your name?

Ying. I'm Shi Ying.

Yes.

This brush

is the first brush in your lifetime,

you have to keep it well.

Yes, Mother.

Where did this brush come from?

Previously, Qing Gang asked me

to get your hair.

It felt strange to me

so I went to his room

to ask about it.

I saw him

putting your hair and this brush

together.

So,

your words and actions today

were just means

to get my hair

and not to learn.

Shouldn't you be worried

about your safety now?

You're concerned

about these details instead.

It's because I care about you

and every disciple.

This is my first time being a Master.

I want to do my best.

Every word I said today

was true.

Your virtuous teachings

are beneficial to me for life.

These days, I've come to realise

the differences

between myself and the other disciples.

A few days ago,

I wasn't convinced by

what you said

at the Emperor Valley.

But now, I understand.

My words were harsh a few days ago,

but you don't have to belittle yourself.

Learn more in the mountains,

and when you leave, continue to train hard.

You can achieve something great too.

As for this thing, don't overthink.

It will not harm me.

I remember

that it is in this book.

Could it be that I have a poor memory

because I'm old?

Say this chant and eat the Red Fruit of South Mountain

to constrain the bodies

and be free from women's seduction.

This is good. Now Shi Ying

won't be involved with the girl.

You're here, indeed.

How can I keep someone waiting?

It seems Princess Zhu Yan

has told everything she's seen to you.

You already knew

my mission this time.

I am aware that

you have better powers

but this is my mission.

I have no choice but to risk my life.

I'm sorry.

Bone Eroding Ivy. Not bad.

Why won't you kill me?

What else do you have up your sleeves?

Bring it on.

Oh, you can also use poison.

You can't complete your mission like this.

I have a mission that I must achieve,

it cannot end this way.

Once the identity of the Priest is confirmed,

you will use the Azure Clan's magic techniques

to release

the Magpie Branch seal in your body.

Then, you will become the poisonous

Magpie Branch.

At that time, you just need to

have any form of physical contact with him

and the poison of Magpie Branch

will transfer to his body.

He will then die from poison.

Once the magpie is released, it brings forth death.

If he doesn't die, your death is guaranteed.

Sorry.

Are you the Magpie Branch?

(Once the magpie is released, it brings forth death.)

(If he doesn't die, your death is guaranteed.)

Priest. Why?

Did you try to commit suicide

because you think killing me with poison

makes you feel guilty?

But the Magpie Branch

has been transferred to your body.

Of course, I'm aware.

However, the poison in your body

is detoxified.

Priest.

This poison will work immediately.

You're saving me with your life.

My life is not worth it.

But you...

I'm doing this

because I'm confident.
