Transcript

00:00Hello! This is eSoup, aka SpecificSoup. I'm reacting to, um, episode 23 of Word of Honor.

00:10I just saw the thing, you know, Netflix picks, like, a thumbnail for each episode and it just

00:15showed up for a second and it was that guy that we saw, um, from presumably from Ghost Valley

00:22in the flashback of Wen Cushing's parents' deaths. I'm gonna make a guess that that guy is the old

00:30chief of the Ghost Valley, who Wen Cushing apparently skinned and proclaimed himself the new one,

00:37but it does look like this episode is gonna give us more of the rundown on what happened there,

00:43which is exactly what I have been wanting to know. So I'm getting right into it.

00:50Okay, yeah. He's gonna find Xia Lian.

01:00I hope they won't hurt her.

01:08Yeah, I don't think he's gonna be a bad guy.

01:10Oh, my brothers, we have to pay attention to Wen Cushing's parents.

01:14You must be able to listen to me.

01:16If I'm here for a day, I'm not here.

01:20Regardless if you and Xia Lian have any love, you can take care of her?

01:24If she can, she'll be able to take care of her.

01:28She's a woman, no one of us.

01:30It's nice of him to put it like that, because that's...

01:35A, he obviously recognizes the position Cheng Ling was put into,

01:41that he didn't want to be a political pawn.

01:44He didn't want to be arranged to be married to her,

01:47and now he's just saying,

01:49this is just about, like, protecting her,

01:52and I owe a debt to all these people,

01:55and it's not...

01:56This isn't about some, like, political crap,

01:59and, you know, you should do what you want in your life as far as marriage goes.

02:05It seems like he's controlled himself,

02:10and he isn't going to do something bad and impulsive

02:12because of getting mad about what just happened.

02:19Ohhhh, yes.

02:21No.

02:22No?

02:23But when I was young,

02:25the manager has always been sick.

02:28I don't know if you've grown up after growing up.

02:32How long have you been with him?

02:34Um...

02:35From what I'm going to do,

02:37I'm going to be with the manager.

02:39Then...

02:41What's going on?

02:46Where's he going?

02:47Heh heh heh...

02:49I'm fine.

02:51Little girl,

02:52Okay, okay...

02:53Okay...

02:55Then you don't care about

02:57that you don't eat, don't eat, don't eat,

02:58and you're going to be with you.

02:59Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.

03:02He was sick a lot.

03:04I...

03:05Is there something more to him being sick a lot

03:09than just, like, you know, the mental stuff

03:12he would have been dealing with?

03:15Huh.

03:15Megan?

03:16I-I, I don't know...

03:20I don't even want to die.

03:21You guys are that mad?

03:22H-he-h-h-h-h-h-h

03:23Oh no.

03:23I've got to be a woman.

03:24I've got to be a woman.

03:25I've got to be a woman.

03:26I think she is going through the clearly.

03:27I just want to be a man.

03:29I love you.

03:29I never wanna die.

03:30I like that one.

03:31I've got to be a woman.

03:32Never look before you.

03:33I also want to be a woman.

03:34Sometimes I'm like, man.

03:36There's a woman.

03:37How does he do?

03:39Oh no.

03:40Oh no.

03:41He's learned that from a very young age.

04:11I'm still trying to figure out what he had meant when he said,

04:16My biological father is the one who taught me martial arts.

04:21Maybe he did, you know, because he was so...

04:24So at this point his father has died.

04:26I don't know if it's like, oh, he taught me, like, a tiny bit of stuff when I was really little before he passed away.

04:32And the people in the Healer Valley, do they generally know martial arts?

04:37I don't know... No, that's right. Um, of course, his father knew martial arts because all the friends slash, you know, Five Lakes Alliance brothers, that whole group of people, they all knew them.

04:51He might not have been the best at it, with that not being, like, his specialty, but he did know something so it could have taught him, like, a little something at some point before all this.

05:02Oh, I'm so sorry.

05:04Oh, my God.

05:05Oh, my God.

05:07Oh, my God.

05:09Oh, my God.

05:11Oh, my God.

05:13He's been crying in my arms over a bit.

05:15This year, his dad said he saved up a feeling of how they were attacking him.

05:20Uh, your father said no, yeah.

05:22Oh, my God, May I say no one year.

05:25Oh, my God!

05:27Oh, my God.

05:28Oh, my God!

05:31Oh

06:01I think that is the big thing is for Joe's issue in this whole situation how can he how can he help him while also being completely

06:30non-judgmental but I also think it's not it's not necessarily about like what he does it's just like how he's

06:39he's phrasing it and him saying like I gotta stop you so you don't have any more sins on your hands is obviously not

06:47the best thing to say there but like even in that situation where like he didn't he didn't really put things in the

06:55greatest way with that he still is like I'm willing to help you get revenge on the person who is like most culpable in this

07:04situation and I'm not telling you to just like have mercy on everyone here so it's like that was that that turned

07:14things back around in a slightly positive direction but it was really interesting to get him saying

07:21I'm sorry here too I'm trying to recall if he's said I'm sorry to Wen Keqing before and I don't think Joe's a shoe is like a

07:31has trouble saying I'm sorry person but I just don't know if we've gotten that between them before

07:38galician

07:54I'm not sure if you're a bad person.

07:56I'm looking for these

08:01...

08:03...

08:05...

08:06...

08:07...

08:08...

08:09...

08:11...

08:12...

08:13...

08:14...

08:15...

08:16...

08:18...

08:22...

08:26So did he have to drink it too?

08:28...

08:29So maybe he managed to get over his effects?

08:31...

08:32...

08:33...

08:34...

08:35...

08:36...

08:37...

08:38...

08:39...

08:41...

08:42...

08:43Yeah, you know what's up.

08:45Ugh.

08:46He's so beautiful.

08:49...

08:55...

08:56...

08:57...

08:58...

09:02...

09:03...

09:06...

09:07...

09:09They just had to drink it when they first entered the valley, right?

09:13Oh

09:43你才是最应该喝孟婆汤的人

09:45破的什么力

09:46因为我以为只要我都记得

09:48就不会冲倒覆辙

09:50你既然如愿记得这一切

09:54那为什么要回到信玉的身边呢

09:57谢王可见过赌红了眼的人

10:01越赌越输

10:03越输越赌

10:06把一个人的心交出去

10:08就是最大的好赌

10:10我压错了宝

10:14本以为能够把这条命痛快地输给她

10:17其实急色鬼来杀她的那一刻

10:20心里想着

10:22替她挡过这一劫

10:23输光一切算了

10:26这鬼谷

10:28怎么养出你这样一个人来

10:32薄情司

10:34为什么这么叫

10:36自古男子薄情

10:38女子不灭

10:41她要替所有被薄情郎伤的女子

10:43主持公道

10:45杀尽天下福心寒

10:51薄情寡义

10:52是人之生性

10:54何观男女

10:56可笑

11:00谁生不复人

11:04谁又不被辜负了

11:07嗯

11:08你的命太苦

11:12我不想要了

11:16这样

11:18本王给你一次选择的机会

11:21不管用什么办法

11:23找到孟婆汤的配方

11:25交给我

11:30我便放你离去

11:32他只想要

11:35他想要忘记她

11:37还是他想要

11:38赵尽

11:39让她忘记她

11:40对

11:41对

11:42对

11:44对

11:46对

11:48对

11:50对

11:51对

11:52对

11:53对

11:55对

11:56有些人不想让我想起某些事

12:00所以

12:02抱歉

12:04我让他们失望

12:05对

12:07对

12:09对

12:11对

12:13对

12:15对

12:16对

12:17对

12:18对

12:19对

12:20对

12:22对

12:23对

12:26对

12:28对

12:29对

12:31对

12:32嗯

12:33So that could have implications on his life and health, too.

13:03Yeah.

13:33He's... I think he is... I think partly due to his plans on whoever it is in the Ghost Valley that he wants to get revenge on, I think he's, like, letting go all the people in the Ghost Valley.

14:03Because I think he's, like, stuff is gonna go down, and I want you to, like, be free, and also you should get out of here before this happens.

14:13But it's also showing in his own way that acceptance of that relationship and the fact that he's, like, like, I love a human, you know, a not Ghost Valley person.

14:26Like, you can too. And it's cool.

14:30You just go, Don't you come around and you, like, don't care.

14:32No matter how far, you, like, don't you know, don't care about me.

14:38Don't you?

14:40Oh, my son.

14:42That's the way, I'm not going to be able to go down.

14:44I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

15:14I think you don't really care about that anymore.

15:44I know I don't want to say this, but I don't want to hate me.

15:57I just don't want to let him have a problem.

16:07I don't want to let him know about it.

16:14I'm afraid.

16:22I don't want to let him know.

16:26I don't want to let him kill him.

16:30I don't want to let him kill him.

16:33I don't want to let him kill him.

16:39I don't want to let him kill him.

16:43I don't want to let him kill him.

16:45Oh my god, it's the same exact thing.

16:48It's like he and Gu Xiang are so similar and she's dealing with the same exact thing.

16:57Yeah.

17:05Oh.

17:07He's willing.

17:08Yeah.

17:09I'll be sorry for you.

17:11I'll be sorry for you.

17:13I'll be sorry for you.

17:15You're sorry for me.

17:17It's not that I'm sorry for you.

17:19I'm so scared.

17:21I feel...

17:25She's better than me.

17:27She's better.

17:29She's better than me.

17:31She's like the one you're doing.

17:33She's like the one you're doing.

17:35She's coming out.

17:39She's not like that.

17:41She's more than me.

17:43She's better than me.

17:45She's better than me.

17:47She's not good for me.

17:49She's more than me.

17:53She's better than me.

17:55They are better than me.

17:57I'm not a happy one of you.

17:59She's better than me.

18:01I promise you never knew your identity.

18:05She's easier for you to find a new friend.

18:07I'm sorry for you.

18:08You're so good.

18:10You're so good.

18:12Don't forget that you're a single person.

18:14You've had enough of a lot of people

18:16to become so mad.

18:18I can't believe that you're a good one?

18:20I've decided.

18:22You've heard me say.

18:26You've been in the old school.

18:28You've never been in the middle of the country.

18:30You've never been in the middle of the country.

18:32They don't know their existence.

18:34They don't know their existence.

18:36I'm going to return to you.

18:38You don't want to make it to the city of the city.

18:40You don't want to make it to the city of the city.

18:42You don't want to make it to the city.

18:44I'm not calling you.

18:46You're staying at the city of the city.

18:48Don't...

18:50I don't want him to make it to you.

18:56Don't want him.

18:58He doesn't...

19:00Well...

19:02That's the best.

19:04Oh, I think that that has been true from the beginning.

19:11I think the glazed armor for him being a cover has been true from the beginning, but he hadn't

19:17told- he hadn't even told her that it was a cover, because that's the big element of

19:23the plan that he's been concealing from, like, everybody.

19:27That checks out.

19:28It makes, you know, the first Ghost Valley scene make sense, makes everything make sense,

19:34but it does mean, obviously, that even with Gu Xiang, you know, where they're so close,

19:39he was still, in a sense, like, using her and manipulating her in that part of the plan,

19:45but he's, like, telling her now.

20:04It's like a... oh... oh no!

20:14Oh, it's like, he's like, you're marrying my daughter, I'm having a talk with you!

20:22Oh, did he say...

20:24Oh, hold on. I know I've been referring to him, kind of like he's, like, Gu Xiang's dad, and like, I see a lot of people say,

20:28Oh, did he say?

20:30Oh, did he say?

20:32Oh, hold on.

20:34I know I've been referring to him kind of like he's like Gu Xiang's dad.

20:38And like I see a lot of people say like, well, she's more like his little sister.

20:42And I, I think he just said he was a kid when he found her.

20:46I know I've been referring to him kind of like he's like Gu Xiang's dad.

20:50And like I see a lot of people say like, well, she's more like his little sister.

20:54And I, I think he just said he was a kid when he found her.

20:58And I think of it as just, it feels like a parent thing now,

21:02not because of their age difference, which obviously isn't that significant,

21:08but just because that's how he, like, he felt like he had to raise her.

21:15But it's, I guess it's more like a situation of like a sibling having to raise a younger sibling in a sense

21:22than like a parent.

21:24But it is a very, it feels very like parental.

21:27Dr.

21:33Dr.

21:37Dr.

21:41Dr.

21:48Dr.

21:53I'm going to give up my mouth and give up my mouth.

21:56I'm going to give up my mouth.

21:58He told me about these things.

22:00I know that he's grown so big,

22:02he's got a lot of pain.

22:04Okay.

22:05He knows that.

22:06Yeah.

22:07Oh.

22:08He told me so much.

22:10He hasn't grown too old.

22:12It's not easy.

22:14He's actually not my mother.

22:18It's because I saved him.

22:20After he was born,

22:21he told me to refuse to hurt my body.

22:24He has the same kind of pain.

22:26I can't understand that I am not sure I will救 him.

22:30He'll救 me.

22:31He killed me.

22:33I'm not a little girl.

22:35I'm not a human being.

22:36I'm not a human being.

22:38I'm so excited to do this.

22:40I'm not a human being.

22:42I'm not a human being.

22:44I could tell you so much.

22:47I just want to tell you.

22:49You're like my sister. If you're older than me, she's older than me. How much are you like my daughter?

22:58What? He's like, you were totally right, by the way. Everything you just said. Just the random stuff, I was like, well, this is how I think of it. And he just is like, affirming me.

23:28This thing, I don't want to think of it. But now, it seems like it's not so long. I think this girl will be fine.

23:39Can you give her such a day?

23:44I can, of course. I don't want her to give her a big deal, but...

23:48I don't want you to give her a big deal.

23:51You'll be able to give her a big deal. But I want you to give her a big deal.

23:55You, I'll be able to give her big deal.

23:58You'll be able to live in a big deal.

24:02Let's bring her to the future.

24:03Your love will be right in front of the floor.

24:05It's fun. You're okay?

24:08Wynne-wish. I see.

24:10I understand. You can do it.

24:11I'm sure you'll do it.

24:13You see, God.

24:15I put your face.

24:16You don't have to cross.

24:18I've lost.

24:20I've lost anything.

24:21I've lost everything.

24:23Oh.

24:53Okay, okay, we don't need to do that.

25:14I know he's still kind of threatening him, but it just shows how much respect he has for him now.

25:30He didn't hide at all, he's like, well you were so focused on this important conversation,

25:45you didn't notice me.

25:47We've had like two eavesdropping accusations, so it's like both of them have done it recently.

25:53But, I don't know what to do.

25:58I'll take a while to do it.

26:01I'm sure the girl will be toxic and kind of with me.

26:05But you don't want to lie to do it.

26:09You're not afraid to get us to take a while?

26:11Are you worried about me?

26:15Why are you asking me to come back to them?

26:20Because I'm in a different direction,

26:22Uh, that was just a fun little joke of like, you know what I'm talking about, and you know why me saying that is so ridiculous.

26:51Because you're already my match, um, but it's still amazing to me watching this sometimes, because it really feels like, feels like there was nothing that they didn't get away with, like, when it comes to censorship.

27:06It's just all of self-ful.

27:12At some point, he's gonna tell him.

27:21Oh.

27:26Oh.

27:28So, here, now, I'll try to buy such foods here.

27:31Look at me.

27:33What kind of days are you talking about?

27:35There's a lot of people who live here.

27:37We'll see you in the next day.

27:39We'll see you in the next day.

27:47Mr. Hsu.

27:49You can't drink it yet.

27:51It's so hard to drink it.

27:57You can't drink it.

27:59He's not really tasting things anymore, so whatever it is that he got, he didn't realize

28:09that it tasted bad.

28:10I know there's still the thing looming of, like, Wen Kuxing is still confident that the

28:16immortal guy is gonna come back and have some kind of way to, like, help him that's not

28:21gonna have the issues and is actually gonna work, and I don't know if that's actually

28:25gonna be a thing or not, and god, it's like, we're at the point in the show where every

28:30single thing that someone says will be both, like, really cute and really sweet and just,

28:37like, also a moment where it's like, wow, they really talked about parenting this child

28:42together and, you know, made all these jokes, and in the same exact, the same exact thing

28:50is also pointing to just, like, the most, like, painful situation, like, looming on

28:55the horizon.

28:56Like, that's- it's just, like, more of the emotional whiplash and, like, the tonal whiplash

29:02that I talked about, like, positive connotation is, like, there's always, like, all these different

29:07layers, like, going on at one time, and it's just, like, ugh.

29:14Alright.

29:15Okay.

29:16Okay.

29:17Okay, we got more Jiao Jing stuff.

29:19Hmm.

29:20Okay.

29:21Okay.

29:22Okay, we got more Jiao Jing stuff.

29:24Hmm.

29:25Yeah.

29:26Sure.

29:27Oh, okay.

29:28Okay.

29:29Alright.

29:31Okay.

29:40Okay.

29:41Great.

29:42Okay.

29:43Okay.

29:44Okay.

29:46Okay.

30:07I appreciate what you did.

30:17I'm not sure what you did.

30:24I don't understand.

30:28You see, the city is a big part of the world.

30:32The city is a big part of the world.

30:36But the city is a big part of the world.

30:40The city is a big part of the world.

30:44Oh, okay.

31:02Oh, yeah.

31:14Let's go.

31:15Ah, come on.

31:16You know what I'm going to do.

31:17Let's go.

31:18No.

31:19You're not getting a scale.

31:20No, I don't have a scale.

31:21No.

31:22No matter where I'm going,

31:23I'm still going.

31:24No matter where I'm going,

31:25it's just about how you're going to learn.

31:27Until you have a guideline.

31:28Oh, yeah.

31:29Oh, yeah.

31:30A child.

31:31So I can just change a page.

31:32I'm going to draw a page.

31:33Sorry.

31:34When I'm going to draw a page,

31:35I'll put that next to you.

31:37I'll just let you Selak.

31:38I don't want to die.

31:39Yes, ma'am.

31:40So I can't.

31:41Well, let's talk about the stage.

31:42I've used my own business to come down.

31:43I've seen pictures of this robe, and it's so beautiful!

32:09Oh my god.

32:11I was thinking about what all the colors of the stuff he wears, like what they mean.

32:16This one is really interesting to me, because I feel like I had it figured out with the purple

32:21and then the really light lavender.

32:23Now he's got on pink, but it's got like a, you know, a red collar, so it's like pink with

32:29like red motifs.

32:31But most importantly, it looks amazing.

32:34Oh.

32:41Oh.

32:42Oh.

32:43Oh.

32:44Oh.

32:45Oh.

32:46Oh.

32:47Oh.

32:48Oh.

32:49Oh.

32:50Oh.

32:51Oh.

32:52Oh.

32:53Oh.

32:54Oh.

32:55Oh.

32:56Oh.

32:57Oh.

32:58Oh.

32:59Oh.

33:00Oh.

33:01Oh.

33:02Oh.

33:05Oh.

33:06Oh.

33:09Oh.

33:10Ah

33:12I don't care about it

33:14You don't care about it.

33:16You're so afraid

33:18I'll give it to you.

33:20I'll give it to you.

33:22Let's go.

33:24Oh

33:26Oh

33:28Oh

33:30Oh

33:32Oh

33:34Oh

33:36Oh

33:38Ohh

33:56Oh

34:00Oh

34:02Oh

34:04Oh

34:06Oh

34:08I'm just getting to like the Scorpion King more and more.

34:28I don't know if he's ever actually going to like change his alliances and like be in

34:34any way like compatible with their main guys at any point but just you know as

34:39his own character but it's just oh it's like the whole yeah I don't know it's

34:45just like showing more of like he seemingly does at least kind of care

34:50about these alliances you know he's like well we shouldn't go back on our word

34:55with the ghosts if these ghosts were on our side and now we're gonna double time

35:00them just for power and he also feels like Zhao Jing keeps like he keeps

35:06being like do this for me and the Scorpion King will hope that if he does it

35:13he'll have like approval and love from him but it's like it's never enough

35:30I'm not sure if he can go to the

35:33but all of these ghosts are all in the outside of the town they want to go out

35:36who were to go out who do it

35:37if he has lost my skin in the village

35:39in the江湖 of the camp he was able to go out

35:40you said it's possible to go out

35:41he said he can go out

35:42Yifu's意思 is

35:43you're gonna逼 them without looking for them

35:46you're just gonna go back to a girl

35:48but Yifu if he'll go out and go out

35:52who else would say he can go out

35:53who would say they are going out

35:55who would say they are going out

35:57How old are you?

36:27I think that stuff has to do with when the Scorpion King made a deal instead of doing everything he was supposed to do, so that's something Zhao Jing might notice and he might figure out later on, yeah.

36:57That's the end of that episode. I... I... Oh, that's beautiful. Okay. I think I'm gonna go ahead and start on the next episode in a moment today, because that looks amazing.

37:19It's really wild how things really have developed to where Zhao Jing is, like, a major antagonist in this story, and they're really focusing a lot on, like, his plans and what he's trying to do.

37:33And, um, there were some things from an episode or two ago that I think it was, like, he had to do with the whole plotting, a whole bunch of the things that have happened up to this point, but I'm gonna...

37:47I'm either gonna have to go back to that, or we'll just see, like, what more kind of information on that we get as we go along, because there's been quite a lot thrown at me that I haven't been able to absorb.

38:00But it sounds like he's been involved in a lot of bad stuff here from day one, and wow, were we all just, like, thrown for a loop, and smacked upside the head, and told, like, in the same way that Wen Ka Xing made all these mistakes on who to trust, so did you.

38:24Um, with that, until the next one, this is eSoup, signing out.
