A Sad Parting Under Moonlight

1
Hurry up! Let's go!
Wait!
This way!
Your Highness.
Should we take off his mask?
Since I couldn't see
his face when he was alive,
there's no need now that he's dead.
Close the coffin!
Who
Who can come

I'm sorry.
San Lang, I'm sorry.
I think I've gone mad.
I'm sorry.
It's all right.
It was my fault.
No,
it's my fault!
Everything is a mess.
An absolute disaster!
You're not at fault.
You killed the emperor of Yong'an
to protect Xianle citizens.
You killed Lord Anle
to end the two clans' disputes.
In the end,
you wanted to die in Lang Qianqiu's hands
for the murderer to be executed.
Three lives were sacrificed
for lasting peace.
I would do the same.
Listen to me.
You weren't wrong.
Nobody could do better than you.
I
just feel like that was wrong.
Those who genuinely extended goodwill
shouldn't end up like that.
Even if it was fake,
at least I want Qianqiu to believe
he should forge ahead
to do the right thing
and good results will follow.
Not the way things are now.
Everything has turned into lies,
deception,
and absolutely nonsense!
I'm sorry.
I just don't want other people
to go through what I did.
But look at the world.
It's so absurd.
The previous generations
of the Yong'an royal family
had a good death
despite all their backpedaling.
But in the generation
of Lang Qianqiu's parents,
who just wanted to fix things
and make a significant change,
this was what they got.
I can't forget
that strike.
Forget it.
That's on Qi Rong and Lord Anle.
Everything was going fine.
When Lang Qianqiu's father became emperor,
he changed the trend
of suppressing Xianle's citizens.
People from Xianle and Yong'an
also slowly accepted each other.
Things were starting to look up.
But why?
Anle.
- Do you realize your grave mistake?
- So you're the Imperial Preceptor.
You hid it so well!
This is great.
We can work together
to achieve great things!
After this Golden Feast bloodshed,
let's kill Lang Qianqiu,
stir up chaos in Yong'an
and never let it have peace.
However,
killing is still killing.
Even if there are all sorts
of lofty reasons,
even if I didn't have a choice,
it doesn't change that fact.
Qi Rong had a point.
I'm pretty much a failure.
Don't believe the words of such a loser.
Other than being hard to kill
and quick on his feet,
he couldn't even become a Devastation
in 800 years.
I'd just dirty my hands by hitting him.
In that case,
am I not the same?
Seeing Lang Qianqiu again
and realizing he's still
a straightforward person
used to be comforting.
But after this blow,
I wonder how he'll change.
After chasing down Qi Rong,
how will he settle things with me
when he's back?
There might be
quite a few living humans
hidden in this lair.
Let's rescue them first.
All right.
Run!
Go!
It's right ahead.
This way, please.
This is the last batch.
It's just up ahead.
Let them go.
Yes.
Someone is coming to save us!
They're letting us out!
- Come on out.
- Go.
- Go.
- Quick.
- Let's go.
- Hurry!
By the way, San Lang,
I only knew Lord Anle
planned what happened in the Golden Feast,
but I didn't realize Qi Rong
was the mastermind.
How did you find out?
When did you find out about it?
Not that early.
I've had a few encounters with Qi Rong
and know his background and tactics.
Those several assassination attempts
on the Yong'an imperial family
by Xianle's citizens
were orchestrated by him,
but he kept it well hidden.
So he has a history.
If the Heavenly Court finds out
he's meddling with human affairs,
he won't be spared.
And the Golden Feast's bloodbath
fits Qi Rong's typical approach.
So I initially thought
the Imperial Preceptor, Fang Xin,
was his pawn.
But
Lang Qianqiu said
you're the Imperial Preceptor, Fang Xin
so he couldn't possibly
be on Qi Rong's side.
San Lang
seems to be quite aware
of the of the history
and conflict between me
and Qi Rong.
That's why I leaned more toward Qi Rong
being the mastermind.
At the very least,
he must have made the move first.
Xianle and Yong'an
have the same origin after all.
Once the circumstances
of common Xianle citizens improve,
they won't be fixated
on revenge and restoring their nation.
The only one Qi Rong
could incite to cause chaos
at that time
was the sole descendant
of Xianle's royal family,
Lord Anle.
Then he happened to inexplicably pass away
not long after the Golden Feast.
Doesn't such a coincidence
raise suspicions?
So my preliminary guess
was that Xianle's royal family killed him,
yet the Xianle citizens
weren't implicated later on
or suffered any consequences.
That doesn't make sense.
After thinking it through,
this seems to be
the only plausible conclusion.
With so few clues,
you even managed
to come up with such a close guess.
It wasn't hard.
I just knew enough about it.
You do seem to know quite a bit.
But there's a very important premise
in all of this.
Why do you so firmly believe
that Qi Rong
made the move first
during the Golden Feast?
It's not that I firmly believe it was him.
I just firmly believe
it wasn't you.
Why?
Because of your reason
for the bloodbath at the Golden Feast.
Emperor of Yong'an ruled diligently
and won the people's hearts.
Yet you said
you can't stand
seeing them in those positions.
It's quite the standard declaration
of a usurper.
But when it comes from you,
it's just a shoddy self-accusation.
Self-accusation?
But what if deep down in my heart,
I really do think that way?
So what if you do?
You wouldn't act on it.
San Lang.
Actually,
I'm not what you imagine.
You
Go ahead.
It's fine.
Don't put someone on a pedestal.
It's fine if you only view him from afar.
-But once you get to know him up close,
-Screw you, Prince Xianle!
- Your ancestors have been Prince Xianle!
- the perfect illusion
- will eventually shatter.
- Plague God! He's a Plague God!
Give back the lives
of my wife and children!
- Then you'll be greatly disappointed.
- Give back their lives!
Not necessarily.
I don't care if others
are disappointed or not.
But for some people,
the mere existence
of someone in this world
is hope.
San Lang,
who exactly are you?
You know who Qi Rong is
and you know who I am.
It seems you know a lot about me.
Haven't I always known a lot?
It's not the same.
I've always had this feeling.
You
are a friend of mine in the past.
Maybe we met during my first ascension.
No.
Perhaps even earlier.
San Lang.
Who exactly are you?
Have I met you before?
Wait.
The true names of ghosts are secrets.
How would he just casually tell someone?
I'm sorry. Don't mind me.
I just asked without thinking.
Actually,
it doesn't matter who you are.
I told you, changing into a female form
not only improves magical power,
but also luck!
Yet you still refused.
So did you see that?
This time, we hit the mark!
Wind Master!
It's you, Your Highness!
My goodness!
Crimson Rain Sought Flower?
Did you find him?
How is it going?
Feng Xin.
Your Highness,
come over quickly!
Let's talk it out.
Put away your weapons first.
Hua Cheng, Crimson Rain Sought Flower.
Don't
Don't act recklessly.
Your Paradise Manor
was not burned on purpose.
If you have any complaints,
let's negotiate the compensation.
His Majesty Heavenly Emperor
can afford it.
Release His Highness
and everything can be negotiated.
Wind Master,
you might have misunderstood.
Actually
What is he doing?
I haven't settled the matter
of Jun Wu planting spies,
yet you want to negotiate terms with me?
All right, stop acting.
San Lang barged into the Heavenly Capital
intending to save me.
Why conceal it?
All right! No more acting.
I've already transmitted what you said
to the Spiritual
Communication Array anyway.
Your Highness,
good intentions can be misinterpreted
when passed around.
It's better to start with ill intentions
and they'll believe it.
Wise words.
Indeed.
Otherwise,
how could I get by in the Heavenly Court?
General Nanyang,
put down your bow.
Put it down.
They're close.
He has no ill intent.
Your Highness, come over here.
- The one by your side is a Devastation.
- Hey!
Why can't anyone here listen to reason?
Put your bow down quickly.
What the hell are you trying to do?
- I haven't asked what you want to do yet.
- What did you just touch me with?
He told you he went to save His Highness,
but you're still pointing an arrow at him.
- Damn it!
- If you're so eager to fight,
I won't accompany you.
Don't
Don't do things like this anymore!
Stop it.
Do you hear me?
Isn't this reaction
a bit too much?
Don't come any closer!
Stay away from me!
Don't come any closer!
All right.
Change back!
- Do you hear me?
- What's with the attitude?
You didn't suffer a loss.
Where's Qianqiu?
Isn't he in the Spiritual
Communication Array?
No.
I asked him several times later on,
but he didn't respond.
Normally, Qianqiu would even answer
a minor heavenly official at once.
This time, it's really odd.
Prince Taihua
went after Qi Rong.
This place is Qi Rong's lair.
Wait a moment. Why?
No reason.
He just went after the true culprit
behind the Golden Feast's bloodbath.
The true culprit? Really?
It's a bit complicated.
I'll explain in detail when we get back.
It's a misunderstanding indeed.
I truly have a keen insight!
Now, he won't have
to be on house arrest anymore.
All right.
Feng Xin.
Actually, Qi Rong is that Qi Rong.
Which one?
No way!
The one we all know?
Why would a ghost
flaunt his true name everywhere?
Isn't that crazy?
Do you guys know the Green Ghost?
He's my younger cousin.
Impressive!
Yes,
he's indeed quite impressive.
No.
I mean, Your Highness, you're impressive!
You see,
Martial Gods of the Southeast
and Southwest are your old acquaintances.
Martial God of the East is your disciple.
The Green Lantern Wandering at Night
is your cousin.
The Ghost City's leader,
Crimson Rain Sought Flower,
is your sworn brother.
And I, Wind Master, is your friend.
Isn't that impressive?
The Wind Master
truly lives up to his name.
Like a gust of wind passing through,
all the gloom is blown away.
Anyway, if there's nothing else,
you should return to the Heavenly Capital.
You caused such a big fuss.
You must explain
to His Majesty Heavenly Emperor.
I thought you were straightforward.
So you beat around the bush too.
Doesn't that just tell His Highness
not to mix with a monster like me?
What's the matter?
Why can't you say it directly?
Are you afraid of lacking
the qualifications to take that stance?
He shouldn't do that.
I'm glad you know.
San Lang.
I will provide an explanation,
but there are still some matters
to attend to here for now.
Thanks to San Lang's help earlier,
we managed to release
the living humans trapped here.
There's still a group
of little ghosts left.
I'll head up once they're dealt with.
It's not good to delay too long. Go first.
Leave this to me.
Considering
the Heavenly Court's efficiency,
it'll probably take them
until next month to finish.
You act like you can
wrap things up instantly!
What's going on?
Do they have a feud?
San Lang,
why are you holding an umbrella?
Wait.
The weather
is about to change.
Where did the rain come from?
It stopped.
Well
General Nanyang, are you all right?
Why are you standing there like a statue?
You didn't take shelter.
Feng Xin,
are you all right?
Let's wipe it more.
You got some on your face.
Here.
What happened
to "instantly"?
That's enough. The feathers
on your duster are all over my face.
San Lang,
are you going back to Ghost City?
Aren't you returning
to the Heavenly Capital too?
However,
if you want to return
to Ghost City with me,
I'd welcome that too.
Maybe next time.
When you rebuild Paradise Manor,
I'll help you move the bricks.
There's no need for that.
It's good if you just sit and watch.
About Qianqiu,
regardless,
thank you.
I don't know what's right.
Perhaps
this isn't too bad either.
You're overthinking.
Just do what you want to do.
