Huaisang.
Lan Xichen, watch your back!
You!
What happened?
I...
I just saw...
No.
I mean...
I saw Clan Leader Jin's hand reaching behind.
I wasn't sure if he was going to...
If he was going to...
Lan Xichen.
Clan Leader Jin, I made a promise that if you ever make another move
I would show no mercy. Didn't you hear me?
That's right.
I heard you loud and clear.
But did I move?
Why are you looking at him?
Stop looking at him.
What can you possibly find?
For years, I didn't even have a clue.
Nie Huaisang.
Good for you.
I didn't expect that you would be my downfall.
Do not move.
Don't move.
Claiming you don't know anything. What a great strategy.
No wonder
you could hide behind the scenes for so many years.
Sorry that you have been unfairly treated.
Lan Xichen, please believe me.
I really did see him reaching behind.
-You! -I told you not to move!
Lan Xichen...
I've told countless lies
and caused great harm throughout my life.
Just like you said,
I have done every foul deed.
But never have I ever
thought about doing you harm.
Back when
Cloud Recesses was burning down
and you were fleeing for your life,
who was the one saving you in dire straits?
Who was it?
And then,
who was the one heartily helped
the Lan Clan of Gusu rebuild Cloud Recesses?
All these years,
have I ever tried to hold down the Lan Clan of Gusu?
Haven't I been supportive every single time?
Besides suppressing your spiritual power this time,
have I ever done you wrong?
Have I ever tried to take credit and seek rewards from you?
Minshan
could reciprocate in kind
just because I remembered his name back then.
Yet you,
Lan Xichen,
Zewu Jun,
are just like Nie Mingjue, you could not care for me.
Clan Leader Lan,
now you won't even give me a chance to live?
This place is going to crash. We must run!
Hurry.
Run!
Clan Leader Lan.
Stay and die with me.
Lan Zhan, take Zewu Jun and go.
Nie Mingjue.
Do you think I will be afraid of you?
GUANYIN PAVILION
Lan Xichen.
What exactly was Yao trying to accomplish?
I thought I knew him well
and it turns out that I didn't.
Before tonight,
I thought I would able to comprehend him.
And again, I knew nothing.
Lan Xichen,
no one can fully understand one another.
Huaisang,
was he really about to attack me from the back?
I...
I seemed to have seen...
Is that right?
Huaisang, was it true?
Lan Xichen,
the way you are asking,
even I can't be certain now.
I don't know.
Fairy.
Hanguang Jun.
Master Wei.
Master Wei. Hanguang Jun. Fairy.
No sprinting.
No shouting.
Are you all right? Have you been hurt?
Sizhui, are you all right?
I am fine.
-Clan Leader, are you all right? -Are you all right, Clan Leader?
-Are you all right? -I am fine.
It's okay.
Grand Master.
Master Wei,
what happened to your neck?
Your neck is bleeding.
Are you all right?
Fairy, wait outside.
What should we do?
It's okay. I am all right.
Master Wei.
MENG SHI
Man of virtue dresses properly.
Yao,
you shall not wear your hat cocked to the side.
Jingyi,
where is Wei Wuxian?
They headed out.
Headed out?
Where did they go?
I told them that we brought Apple here.
Master Wei grabbed Hanguang Jun and Master Wen
and went to see Apple.
Right.
Apple?
Please take care of Fairy for me for a while.
Don't chase them.
Jiang Cheng.
They are far gone.
So that's it? You are letting them leave just like that?
What else?
Invite them to stay for dinner?
Say thank you
and then I am sorry?
It was exactly because of the way you were acting
that they took off.
Jiang Cheng, you're such a pain in the neck.
Is this how you are supposed to speak to your elders?
Are you asking to be disciplined?
Let's go home, Jin Ling.
Let everyone go back to the place where they belong.
Jiang Cheng.
was there something you wanted to say to Wei Wuxian?
No, there isn't.
Bullshit.
I saw it with my own eyes.
You wanted to talk to Wei Wuxian.
But you didn't say a word.
Just now. And also back in the temple.
There is nothing to say.
Bullshit. You had something to say.
Jiang Cheng. Yanli has a bad fever.
I will go and buy Yanli some medicine.
Take care of Yanli.
Stay here
and don't ever leave, okay?
Stop right there.
Sir, five pancakes, please.
Stop right there.
Let's go.
Take care.
I'm leaving Yanli in your hands.
I got him!
Here!
Take care.
Let's go.
Jiang Cheng.
Wei Ying.
What's up?
There is something that I...
I didn't tell you.
What is it?
Damn it. Every time. These two are fast.
Hanguang Jun. Master Wei.
Sizhui.
Why are you following us?
Aren't you afraid of old Master Lan calling you out?
Master Wei,
I have something important that I must ask you.
What is it?
I have been recollecting memories for the last couple of days.
But I can't be certain.
So I wanted to ask Hanguang Jun and Master Wei.
What is it that you want to know?
I knew someone who was confident as a chef,
but what he cooked was extremely bad.
He planted me in the radish field.
He told me that with watering
and sunbathing,
I would grow faster.
And would also have some buddies
and he would play with me.
You invited Hanguang Jun for a meal saying it was your treat,
but you ran without picking up the tab.
Hanguang Jun ended up paying for the food.
It might be because I was too little.
There are a lot of things that I couldn't fully remember.
But I can be certain that
Wen was my surname.
Wen was your surname?
Isn't Lan your surname?
Lan Sizhui.
Lan Yuan.
Yuan.
Master Wei.
I...
I am Yuan.
Yuan.
Didn't Yuan pass away already?
He was left alone in Burial Mounds.
Lan Zhan,
was it you?
Yes.
This was the thing I haven't told you about.
Master Wei.
I really missed you.
Silly boy,
why are you crying?
I didn't cry.
I was just feeling really sad.
And yet thrilled at the same time.
I couldn't put it into words.
Then don't.
Right.
No need to say anything.
Damn, you little ones are strong.
You are indeed a student of Hanguang Jun.
He is a student of yours as well.
No wonder he is such a handsome boy.
Master Wei didn't teach me anything.
I did!
It was because you were so little and you forgot.
Yes, I seem to recall.
I remember now.
You see.
I've mentored him.
For example, switching Portrait of a Beauty into--
And when a pretty lady passes by--
Nonsense!
Nonsense.
How come you are remembering these kinds of things?
How could I teach little kids these things?
You did. Wen Ning can testify.
There is nothing for Wen Ning to testify.
Stop talking nonsense.
I am telling you, little boy.
Lan Zhan, what did you teach him?
When Yuan was little and with me, he was a good boy.
-It's the truth. -Nonsense.
-Do you see that pit? -It was true.
Hey, no matter how big you have become
I will still plant you into that pit. Understand?
What are you laughing at? You dumb boy. You...
Yuan.
You are too old for this.
Do you remember,
you used to grab Hanguang Jun's leg when you were little, just like this?
Let's go.
Master.
We are going to head that way now.
To where?
Master.
Didn't you ask me before
when the dust settles,
what would I do next?
I discussed it with Yuan.
I want to go back to Qishan to take a look.
And build a cenotaph for our clan.
I will come with you.
That won't be necessary.
You don't want me to tag along?
You have done enough for us.
What are you going to do next?
I will walk Yuan back to Cloud Recesses.
As for what to do in the future,
I will take my time and think carefully.
For the road ahead,
let me be on my own.
Yes, that may be for the best.
Lan Zhan, let's go.
Where should we go?
Let's get going.
Apple.
Come.
Lan Zhan, you...
Aren't you going to come with me?
Lan Zhan,
to be honest,
it surprised me that
you would take over the role of Excellency.
We made a vow here.
I, Wei Wuxian,
wish that I can always stand with justice and live with no regrets.
I, Lan Wangji, wish to curb the violent and assist the weak.
And live with no regrets.
Lan Zhan,
you truly deserve your title, Hanguang Jun.
And you too, Wei Ying.
This is unexpected. Cloud Recesses has added
another thousand rules.
Nie Huaisang,
no matter how many rules are added,
there is one that matters the most.
Do you know what that is?
I have no clue.
Please advise, Wei Wuxian.
That would be,
"Thou shall not befriend the devil."
Wei Wuxian,
you've got the nerve.
No, I won't dare.
I'm no match for you.
Your Excellency.
Clan Leader Nie,
I have one question
that I would love to get your opinion on.
Go on.
You have put in so much effort and energy,
don't you want to be the Excellency?
Wei Wuxian,
it was once said,
we can never get tired of these scenes
earth and sky, woods and fields,
lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea.
As for me,
I am a sensible man.
If I have to, I always do it myself.
But for the things that aren't my business,
I won't meddle in.
I have to get going.
Aren't you going to ask him?
Ask him what?
Ask him who let Mo Xuanyu out?
Who released the blade spirit?
Who found Sisi and Bicao?
And who wrote that anonymous letter?
But these questions bear no significance anymore.
Do they?
I will head that way.
I will head this way.
Have you decided
where you are going to go?
It's a big world that we live in.
I will wander with my fine wine and a ride,
and make it my home.
Lan Zhan,
I will get going.
Apple,
let's go.
As long as the sea is bound to wash up on the sand,
and stars are above you, we will meet again.
Lan Zhan,
next time we see each other,
you better have a name for this song.
Way ahead of you.
Wei Ying.
