Your Highness.
- Is Fifth Sister here? - Aunt?
Didn't she say she was going to Ten-mile Peach Tree Woods?
You didn't see her?
She was there last night
but I haven't seen her since I woke at daybreak.
Has she returned?
She has not.
However, Zhe Yan is here.
- Zhe Yan? - Yes.
He is back from the Celestial Palace?
Yes, I am back.
What brings you by Bai Qian's Fox Den?
Why are you here?
I just returned from the Celestial Palace.
That's right.
I've been focused on where Fifth Sister might be
and I've forgotten you went to Celestial Palace to cancel the marriage.
Come.
Let me tell you about her marriage arrangement.
Has it been canceled?
The marriage to second prince Sang Ji is canceled
but the marriage arrangement with the Celestial Tribe is still in place.
What do you mean?
Let me tell you all about it.
Dijun?
Did it ring?
Why are you here?
I followed my aunt here.
Aunt?
Bai Qian of Qing Qiu, who never appears in public?
Yes, my aunt is Bai Qian.
I remember last night...
I'm not sure if it was last night anymore.
Before I fell asleep, I saw my aunt leaving Ten-mile Peach Tree Woods
so I followed her all the way here.
Could it be... your aunt is somehow tied to Kunlun Mountain?
No, I've never heard her mention it.
Did your aunt leave you this?
Yes, my aunt left it.
Do you know what is written in this?
My aunt said a magic technique is recorded there.
That's correct.
The technique to seal a spirit within the Bell of the East Emperor is written here.
The Bell of the East Emperor?
Isn't that the magical weapon that can destroy heaven and earth?
That is correct.
Isn't that the artifact that
caused Mo Yuan's soul to be scattered 70,000 years ago at Ruoshui Riverbank?
That is correct.
Mo Yuan used this very technique to seal away Qing Cang.
It seems your aunt does indeed have many ties to Kunlun Mountain.
How is that possible? My aunt has never left Qing Qiu since she was born.
Is that true?
It is true.
You are my savior. I wouldn't dare lie to you.
Where are you going?
The color of your outfit is strange, but it looks quite nice.
Where did you buy it?
Qing... Qing Qiu.
A-Yin.
I like you.
Since you've tacitly consented, why must you act so shy?
When did I tacitly consent?
Li Jing.
If you wake up, I'll give you my promise.
Once you promise me, you can't go back on your word.
In this lifetime, I, Li Jing
will only be with A-Yin.
If I break this oath
I shall have no posterity and live a life of loneliness.
Back then, you said
you would be with me regardless of what happens.
Now you say you were foolish.
Very well.
I'll let you two be.
How long are you going to keep following me?
I... I said I was going to repay your kindness.
Did I want you to?
Zhe Yan says a debt must be repaid.
If I don't repay it here
then I'll have to repay it elsewhere.
So, I've thought about it carefully
and I think I should be proactive about repaying this debt.
This way, I'd able to choose how I repay you.
Then...
how do you plan on repaying me?
I... I haven't decided yet.
Ever since Mo Yuan left, Kunlun Mountain hasn't been this lively.
Dong Hua Dijun.
What are you doing at Kunlun Mountain?
I was just passing by and came in to take a look.
The place is now deserted and no longer as magnificent as it was back then.
Apologies for intruding.
A-Yin.
It has been 70,000 years. Where have you gone?
Dijun.
I came upon this just now and finally understand.
The Bell of the East Emperor's seal is not permanent.
This must be reported immediately to Heavenly Lord to make a plan.
When will the seal be lifted?
It happens today.
Today?
The sealing spell lifts after 70,000 years.
70,000 years? Then...
A lady appeared at Ruoshui Riverbank today.
She must have known the sealing spell was about to be lifted
and was there to seal Qing Cang.
70,000 years.
Not even you knew the sealing spell would be lifted.
Who else in this world could predict this?
It was not a prediction. Instead...
This lady already knew of this fact, but did not tell anybody.
I'm afraid she had already planned to fight Qing Cang alone
and not involve anybody else.
The more I hear from you
the more I admire this lady.
Dijun, who might this lady be?
It is most likely...
This young princess's aunt.
My aunt?
I have yet to ask. This is...
I am Bai Feng Jiu of Qing Qiu.
Granddaughter of the Fox King.
- Princess Feng Jiu. - That is me.
Then your aunt is Bai Qian of Qing Qiu?
That's right, my aunt is Bai Qian.
Then isn't she the Crown Prince's Crown Princess Consort?
What Crown Princess Consort?
Isn't my aunt marrying the second prince?
Why has it turned into the crown prince?
It is a long story.
- Then make it a long story short. - All right.
Then we'll have to start from that little snake from your aunt's den.
Little snake? Do you mean Shao Xing?
Yes, Shao Xing.
Shao Xing--
Why do you guess that it is Bai Qian of Qing Qiu?
The scroll you're holding
is what Bai Qian left for the princess last night.
The Bell of the East Emperor's sealing method is written in detail.
Don't you find it too much of a coincidence?
It is too much of a coincidence.
However, I have one question.
It's said Bai Qian has never stepped foot outside of Qing Qiu after she was born.
How did she come to know about Mo Yuan's special sealing technique?
That is also what puzzles me.
Moreover, this kind of special technique is passed down from master to disciple.
Mo Yuan never accepted a female disciple.
Your Highness.
Do you know something we don't?
My aunt has no relation to Kunlun Mountain.
Then that's strange.
I'm afraid this question will only be answered
when Mo Yuan comes back from the dead.
Or...
When Ye Hua marries Bai Qian, you can ask her yourself.
You must be joking, Dijun.
Miss Bai Qian of Qing Qiu has such a high rank.
I do not dare speak carelessly.
Star Lord, you've piqued my interest in hearing a story.
You'll have to explain everything.
After that, you have to help me repay Dijun's kindness.
Repay his kindness?
That's correct.
Quick, tell me.
Why is my aunt marrying the crown prince?
And you were talking about my aunt sealing the Bell of the East Emperor.
Everything is so confusing.
Can you explain everything to me?
Let's go.
Let's talk while we go.
Where do you want to start?
Start from the snake then.
All right.
I was only gone for a few days.
That snake made my aunt into the world's laughingstock?
No, even if Zhe Yan and Grandfather can tolerate it
I cannot!
So what if you cannot? Your aunt doesn't even care.
She can tolerate it because she is magnanimous.
I cannot tolerate it.
Why don't you take me to the Celestial Palace?
What? I have to teach that snake a lesson.
Then wouldn't I be committing the crime of aiding and abetting?
You ruined your life's prospects for this woman.
Do you harbor any resentment?
I dare not.
You can take this snake with you, but you are not to give her any title.
That is the most I can tolerate.
I accept your command.
Shao Xing, stop right there.
My aunt has treated you well.
Yet you dare steal her future husband, causing her to be ridiculed by the world?
Princess.
Do you still acknowledge me as the princess?
It is all my fault.
Please do not be angry, Your Highness.
Be mindful of your health.
You were always good at pretending to be delicate.
