00:00:00All right! It is done!
00:00:02Madam said you should be studying. You are supposed to be preparing for the Imperial exams.
00:00:06What are you doing cooking in the kitchen?
00:00:07Imperial exams? Nothing beats a happy home. Here, this dish. Madam will love it.
00:00:12It smells amazing!
00:00:13Host! This is the Scholar System! Only studying grants you Scholar's power! And martial essence! Cooking will work!
00:00:20I am Leon Grant. I transmigrated into a dropped fantasy novel, though I awakened a level-up Scholar System as
00:00:26a cautious reader of countless web novels.
00:00:28The first rule for a transmigrator is to play it safe, since the hero and the villains are all going
00:00:33to the capital to hassle the Empress.
00:00:35I'll just stay here in Longbridge City, run my tea house, and live a carefree life with my wife.
00:00:40Here, take this up. I'll go get Madam myself.
00:00:43You are so good to madam.
00:00:44She is my only wife. If I don't spoil her, who will? I wouldn't trade her for the Empress. I
00:00:47am off.
00:00:48Honey! Dinner's ready! Honey! Honey! Dinner's ready! Honey!
00:00:53He can't know who I am.
00:00:54You have to fight for your life. Die!
00:01:08Honey!
00:01:10Oh no!
00:01:21Honey!
00:01:24Yes, it Jay here!
00:01:26Honey!
00:01:26Honey!
00:01:27What was that sound?
00:01:30Alex, let's go! Time for dinner! It is ready!
00:01:34Wife, let's go. Come, my dear.
00:01:38Wife, this dish. Couple's long slices.
00:01:41And this one. Fish, fragrant pork. This one's special. Beggar's chicken.
00:01:45Fish and pork mixed together. I can understand that.
00:01:49But beggar's chicken... and couple's long slices...
00:01:53No, no, no. Wife, they're just names.
00:01:57You scared me. Leon, you worked so hard on your studies, yet you still cook for me.
00:02:03Wife, as long as it is for you, I'll never get tired. Here, have a drumstick.
00:02:08Listen, the name beggar's chicken sounds a little rustic, but it is actually delicious. Try it.
00:02:19Something's on her mind.
00:02:20Hearing about the beggar's chicken, it reminded me of today at Grand Awakening Abbey.
00:02:25I saw some refugees. They were starving. Just skin and bones. They were so pitiful.
00:02:29Are they from Goldshire?
00:02:30No. The Southern Province. There is a drought there.
00:02:34This is from the novel, Year Three of Prosperity.
00:02:37From my stargazing, I know. The Southern Province is in a drought.
00:02:39And then, because of all kinds of natural disasters and man-made troubles, the people are suffering greatly.
00:02:42The news of the Southern Province drought was sent by urgent dispatch. Even so, I only just found out. But
00:02:48Leon is out of touch with the world. He only focuses on his studies. How could he know?
00:02:53Leon, how do you know it is a drought in the Southern Province?
00:02:55Well, it is a long story. But about the refugees, we must not speak of this outside. Let's eat. Let's
00:03:03eat.
00:03:03The Ministers are all capable statesmen. But they're stuck with an Empress who only seeks immortality. The ruler is incompetent.
00:03:13Heaven is angry.
00:03:18Don't talk nonsense. If the Empress hears you, you won't have enough heads to lose.
00:03:23Everyone knows. Ever since she took the throne, she has been in seclusion, cultivating. She ignores state affairs. How is
00:03:29that nonsense?
00:03:31You can't trust rumors, Sophie. If the current Empress were a tyrant, then in Evervale's history, how many wise rulers
00:03:39have there been?
00:03:39Leon, why are you defending the Empress?
00:03:42The ruler isn't incompetent. It is Evervale's fortune that is fading. The Empress seems to have ignored state affairs for
00:03:49years. But actually, all the decrees come from her.
00:03:52As for her cultivating in seclusion, the truth is, she hasn't been in the palace for ages. She is out
00:03:58there, seeking a way to save the kingdom.
00:04:00This is all highly classified. Not even the Senior Ministers know. How could Leon possibly know all this?
00:04:05Leon, and do you know where the Empress is now, seeking a solution?
00:04:10Far, far away, and right before your eyes.
00:04:17Leon, do you know where the Empress is now, seeking a solution?
00:04:22Far, far away, and right before your eyes.
00:04:26Has my identity been exposed?
00:04:31Leon, what do you mean by that?
00:04:34Since she is not in the palace, she must be among the people, disguised as an ordinary person.
00:04:39How would I know? After all, the original novel was dropped. I only read the beginning and middle. As for
00:04:45the later story, it was never written.
00:04:47So he still doesn't know who I am.
00:04:50Leon, since you know so much about court affairs, if you were the Emperor, what would you do next?
00:04:58That is my wife for you. She is really playing along. So what if I am a nobody? I don't
00:05:04have to show off to the big shots. Showing off for my wife at home is pretty nice.
00:05:10What would I do next?
00:05:20My god! Is this the same majestic, decisive Empress from the court?
00:05:25Let's start with this drought. Actually, Evervale's fortune can handle this drought. We have more than enough. That is not
00:05:31the problem. But if the relief grain only lasts for half a month, I am afraid the people in the
00:05:36southern province will revolt.
00:05:37Why is Leon so certain? Can he see the future? And why is that?
00:05:45Let me think about that. Why is that?
00:05:52Besides the natural disaster, there is also human greed. There are many capable officials at court, but there are also
00:05:58plenty of corrupt ones. They're definitely using this drought to line their pockets.
00:06:01Our Empress is always out there, seeking a way to save the Kingdom. She often overlooks these details. That just
00:06:09means she is a bit foolish.
00:06:15Alex, if your throat is bothering you, have some water.
00:06:19Thank you, sir.
00:06:22To become the Empress, she must be very capable. Yet, she made such a mistake. Even the wise make mistakes.
00:06:29Or maybe the protagonist's plot armor is too strong, and the Empress was forced to act foolishly.
00:06:33So, the human greed you mentioned is the relief official, Lord Eaton of Anwell.
00:06:39Right! Madam, you are even smarter than the Empress.
00:06:42No wonder. The relief funds I allocated in previous years.
00:06:45Afraid the people wouldn't have enough. I always gave double the planned amount.
00:06:48Even so, in every report I received, they always said it was just enough.
00:06:51Charles Eaton must die.
00:06:54Leon, you are a true scholar. You know so much.
00:06:57Once you pass the spring exams next year, and become a high official, Evervale will have hope.
00:07:03No high office for me. The capital city is no place to be.
00:07:07Protagonists and villains are everywhere. They're all just op characters causing trouble.
00:07:12Wife, actually, I don't study to become an official.
00:07:16Then, Leon, what do you study for?
00:07:19Scholars, all hope to pass the exams and serve the people, making their mark and contributing.
00:07:25How do I explain this?
00:07:26I can't just say I am afraid the old protagonist and the villains will kill me, right?
00:07:30There is a saying for this. That is perfect.
00:07:39Start.
00:07:41Establish the heart of heaven and earth. Establish the destiny of the people.
00:07:50Establish the heart of heaven and earth. Establish the destiny of the people.
00:07:53Carry on the wisdom of the sages.
00:07:55Create lasting peace for all.
00:07:56Just that line.
00:07:57You could be the emperor's teacher, sir.
00:07:59Leah, the old seer glimpsed the heavens and foresaw our salvation.
00:08:03Could it be you?
00:08:09The southern province drought, and you let them profit from it.
00:08:11Why didn't you report it?
00:08:13Ha! I was negligent! I deserve to die!
00:08:16Drag him out and execute him.
00:08:18Mercy! Mercy! Your Majesty!
00:08:20Mercy! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
00:08:26General Reed, what is the situation in the southern province?
00:08:29Charles Eaton is dead.
00:08:30The situation there is exactly as Mr. Grant described.
00:08:32I found a ledger.
00:08:33At Eaton's residence, it lists all the corrupt officials.
00:08:36Well done. Thanks to Leon.
00:08:38Otherwise, I'd still be in the dark.
00:08:40Your Majesty, about the corrupt officials in the ledger, what should we do?
00:08:43These are troubled times.
00:08:44We shouldn't start a bloodbath.
00:08:46Let word get out.
00:08:47Test their reaction.
00:08:48Yes.
00:08:49Also, Leon's taking the autumn examinations this year.
00:08:51Go to the Hanlon Academy and the Imperial Academy to prepare.
00:08:54Don't ruin my plans.
00:08:55Understood.
00:08:56I'll go give them a heads up.
00:09:16The rewards from the system this time are incredible.
00:09:20So, spoiling the original story of this world gets you even richer rewards.
00:09:25Who says reading is useless?
00:09:27I read my way to the Sage Scholar realm.
00:09:29If the protagonist of the book found out, what could they say?
00:09:32In this world, the Sage realm seems to be the peep.
00:09:36The novel never said what realm the protagonist reached.
00:09:39I should play it safe.
00:09:41Stay away from the protagonist.
00:09:42I'll just live a quiet life with my wife.
00:09:46Sir!
00:09:47Something's wrong!
00:09:49Help me, sir!
00:09:51Sir!
00:09:51Help me!
00:09:52Who is trying to kill you?
00:09:53Something's happened in the Southern Province!
00:09:55Something's happened in the Southern Province.
00:09:56What is it to you?
00:09:57Didn't we just say yesterday that Charles Eaton would profit from the disaster relief?
00:10:00But this morning, the news is all over.
00:10:02They say Charles Eaton was executed by the Empress's envoy!
00:10:05The local magistrate was executed too!
00:10:08Executed by the Empress?
00:10:09Is it true?
00:10:09Of course!
00:10:10It is true!
00:10:11They say at the magistrate's residence, they found a hundred thousand tails of silver!
00:10:16Sir!
00:10:17Think about it!
00:10:18The Empress must have spies!
00:10:19They heard our conversation!
00:10:22I even bad-mouthed her!
00:10:25Do you think she'll spare me?
00:10:31Felix!
00:10:34Felix!
00:10:34I am done for!
00:10:38This isn't how the story goes.
00:10:39The villain who provides resources for the protagonist.
00:10:41How did the Empress steal the show?
00:10:44Sophie, if I were you, I'd find a place to hide.
00:10:54Right!
00:10:54Right!
00:10:55Right!
00:10:55I should hide!
00:10:56Maybe after some time, the Empress will forget about me!
00:10:58Thank you!
00:10:59Madam!
00:11:01Oh, Leon.
00:11:03Let's go inside.
00:11:06Where do I hide, Madam?
00:11:08Sir!
00:11:13I'm done for!
00:11:16Leon, what is on your mind?
00:11:19Nothing.
00:11:19It is just the Empress.
00:11:21Her personality has changed so fast.
00:11:23All of a sudden, she even executed Charles Eaton.
00:11:26Who knows?
00:11:28Oh, Leon.
00:11:28About the journey west.
00:11:31You didn't finish it.
00:11:32I want to hear more.
00:11:34You want to hear more?
00:11:35Where were we?
00:11:36So, Father Thomas, with his iron will, resolutely rejected the Empress.
00:11:42He refused to be a kept man.
00:11:44Then, he fell in love with a lute playing demon next door.
00:11:47Later, Sam Stone went back to Fruitvale Mountain.
00:11:50Old Pete went to Highfield Manor and married a Miss Gal.
00:11:55And here, I thought you were a proper man.
00:11:58Turns out you were a rascal.
00:12:00I was just kidding.
00:12:01Actually, Father Thomas refused the Empress's temptation.
00:12:04The four companions set off again to continue their journey west for the scriptures.
00:12:16I wonder what my level is now.
00:12:18Looks like next time.
00:12:20I'll have to find a chance to test it out.
00:12:22Leon, I don't think that is the right ending.
00:12:26Father Thomas should have stayed with the Empress.
00:12:29And they should have been together.
00:12:32Well, William Owen isn't here.
00:12:34So, I am the author now.
00:12:36My wife's happiness is what matters.
00:12:38Alright? As you wish.
00:12:40Leon studies so hard every day.
00:12:41And still makes up stories to amuse me.
00:12:43The royal family is always cold and heartless.
00:12:45To be loved like this.
00:12:47Only Leon would do that.
00:13:13Your Majesty.
00:13:16Don't tell me.
00:13:17You and the young master in broad daylight.
00:13:23What is it?
00:13:24This is urgent news from Cloudshire.
00:13:31The Cloudshire Governor's impeachment letter.
00:13:33He impeaches Peter Dunn, head of the Radiant Blade Order.
00:13:36As a sect under Evervale, they colluded with the Shadowlands.
00:13:38They betrayed the kingdom.
00:13:58It is the Radiant Blade Order.
00:14:00My energy is drained.
00:14:02I am no match for them.
00:14:09Who is it?
00:14:12Are you here for a meal or a room?
00:14:15A room.
00:14:19He is trouble.
00:14:20I'll keep him calm for now.
00:14:22Then I'll report to the young master.
00:14:29Uncle Fox shattered his core.
00:14:31He can't get far.
00:14:32The Shadow Record Stone is our sex lifeline.
00:14:34Before dawn, we must catch him.
00:14:36Search!
00:14:39Search!
00:14:44Search!
00:14:47Search!
00:14:47Something's wrong!
00:14:48What is wrong?
00:14:49Why the panic?
00:14:50I was about to close up.
00:14:51A man with blood on his hands.
00:14:53Wanted a room.
00:14:54And he had a knife.
00:14:55Do you know his name?
00:14:56I didn't dare ask, madam.
00:14:58I waited for my chance.
00:14:59Sneaked out.
00:15:00And came to warn you.
00:15:01Was he handsome?
00:15:04Not really.
00:15:05He was plain.
00:15:08Seriously.
00:15:08Why are you asking that now?
00:15:10Sir.
00:15:10In the book, he is probably just a minor character.
00:15:13As long as he is not the hero or the main villain, with my simple yet powerful Sage Scholar realm,
00:15:17it is safe to just watch the show.
00:15:18Then we'll ignore him. Business as usual tomorrow. Wife, stay home tomorrow.
00:15:22Don't go anywhere. Sophie and I will handle this guest. Don't leave.
00:15:25As if I am staying home, I am a Swordmaster. There is no way I am letting you risk it.
00:15:30Okay, whatever you say, husband.
00:15:47After a night's rest, I've recovered some strength. Good thing they didn't follow me. But I can't stay here long.
00:15:53I have to leave now.
00:15:58He has a noble heir. In this noisy place, he is still reading intently. I never thought in the small
00:16:03town. There'd be someone like him.
00:16:05Check out. Keep the change.
00:16:14Keep the change.
00:16:15Keep the change.
00:16:17Keep the change.
00:16:22Keep the change.
00:16:26Keep the change.
00:16:29Keep the change.
00:16:30Keep the change.
00:16:33Keep the change.
00:16:35Keep the change.
00:16:36Keep the change.
00:16:36Keep the change.
00:16:38Keep the change.
00:16:38Keep the change.
00:16:40Keep the change.
00:16:40Keep the change.
00:16:40Keep the change.
00:16:45Frank Woods, sleep well last night, so eager to get to the capital city, did you ask for my permission?
00:16:53Shantan, the Radiant Blade Order is in league with demons, murdering the loyal.
00:16:58I'll expose your crimes to the world, and avenge my father.
00:17:03Tell me where the memory stone is. I'll let you choose a quick death.
00:17:08In your dreams! Come on then, even if I die, the memory stone will remain.
00:17:14Your dirty deeds will one day be exposed to the world!
00:17:19Get him!
00:17:43Queen of the Sacred Foxes! I was only here to protect Leah. I didn't expect this. The Radiant Blade Order
00:17:50has some nerve.
00:17:54Why are you here? Elder?
00:17:56Your father was worried. I've been following you, and so many people have seen me. He'll make a fine meal.
00:18:12Mass murder? Who do you think you are? The protagonist? Looks like today. I can't avoid this.
00:18:19This small town has no masters to protect it. The Demon King strikes. It is all over.
00:18:42The Demon King strikes. It is all over.
00:18:54A
00:19:00There is a master here. They hid for so long without me noticing, so their level must be about the
00:19:04same as mine. Perfect. Saves me the trouble.
00:19:12In a small city like Longbridge, how could a Swordmaster be here?
00:19:17Swordmaster!
00:19:18I meant no offense. The Radiant Blade Order told me to do this.
00:19:22If you want, I can kill him for you!
00:19:27Doggy dog, how amusing. I wonder who this Demon King is. Maybe the original story mentioned her.
00:19:32Thank you, Swordmaster, for sparing me!
00:19:39What is this treasure made of? It blocked a Swordmaster strike. This treasure is meant for me.
00:19:48She fled, sacrificing her core. I can't catch her now. Forget it. I'll spare her this time.
00:19:59Damn humans! I'll refine a million of you!
00:20:04To avenge this!
00:20:13Got any more of those beads? Give me some more!
00:20:15You mean the Sacred Demon Core!
00:20:19Got any more of those beads? Give me some more!
00:20:22You mean the Sacred Demon Core!
00:20:25That mysterious Swordmaster! Couldn't even catch me, but he caught up with ease. His power is unfathomable.
00:20:33Master! I have no more cores, but the Sacred Demon Palace has three!
00:20:38If you spare my life, they're all yours.
00:20:42Foolish!
00:20:43Even if I don't spare you, it is still mine.
00:21:07I forgot to ask where the core was.
00:21:09But I can go to the Radiant Blade Order.
00:21:12In the original story, they have plenty of treasures.
00:21:14Perfect! That's Swordmaster's aura.
00:21:19I can make him take the fall.
00:21:21With my face covered, and by mimicking his aura.
00:21:23With my skills, it should only take a few minutes to pull it off.
00:21:26No time to waste.
00:21:28Time to strike!
00:21:37This trip to the Radiant Blade Order was definitely worth it!
00:21:41These Prime Spirit Stones, these Thousand Year Mermaid Pearls, and this near-sacred scholar's calming pill.
00:21:48No wonder the protagonist in the original story, after destroying the Radiant Blade Order, saw his power skyrocket.
00:21:55But now, all of this is mine.
00:21:58Everyone thinks that the Swordmaster was just getting revenge.
00:22:01No one will ever suspect me.
00:22:02When I arrived at the Radiant Blade Order, the Duns were already dead.
00:22:06Who did it?
00:22:08Such power.
00:22:08At least the King level, or even an Immortal level master.
00:22:11It was a masked swordsman.
00:22:12He didn't just loot the Order's inner medicinal fields and treasure vault.
00:22:14He also left a message, claiming to be the Swordmaster from Longbridge City, who killed Sean Dunn and the Demon
00:22:19King.
00:22:19Interesting.
00:22:20He dared to use me as a scapegoat.
00:22:22So he was there too.
00:22:24He hid for so long, and I never noticed.
00:22:27He is a master.
00:22:27Your Majesty, should we continue the investigation?
00:22:30Such a master.
00:22:31An investigation is useless.
00:22:33As for Frank Woods, he and his father served with merit.
00:22:36Now that his father has died for the kingdom, we should comfort and reward him.
00:22:40The Radiant Blade Order is disbanded.
00:22:42Those who colluded with the Shadowlands will be imprisoned.
00:22:45Send the order.
00:22:47Have the Skywatch Bureau secretly protect Leon.
00:22:49Yes.
00:22:50Your Majesty.
00:22:54These are troubled times.
00:22:55And now, a master has suddenly appeared.
00:22:58His motives are unknown.
00:23:00I must be careful.
00:23:01I can't let my identity be exposed, or bring harm to Leon.
00:23:04Honey, I am home.
00:23:09Husband, you've worked so hard.
00:23:11Here is a gift for you.
00:23:15Honey, I am so lucky to have you.
00:23:17Husband, I heard today, outside the tea house, some cultivators were fighting, and someone died.
00:23:23We're just ordinary people.
00:23:25It is best not to cross those cultivators.
00:23:27You are right.
00:23:28Honey, the autumn exams are soon.
00:23:30I promise.
00:23:31I'll study really hard.
00:23:33But, Leon, you should get some rest too, and stay sharp.
00:23:37I hear the exam isn't that hard.
00:23:40I am sure you'll have a bright future ahead.
00:23:42It is not hard to pass, but I don't want to.
00:23:45Alright.
00:23:46Alright, whatever you say.
00:23:48Honey.
00:23:48Honey.
00:23:54Honey.
00:23:55Honey.
00:23:55Honey.
00:24:01So many people signing up for the autumn exams.
00:24:03Way too many.
00:24:04One downside of time travel.
00:24:06There's no online registration.
00:24:07So inconvenient.
00:24:11He is interesting. He was up next, but he went to the back of the line.
00:24:21You first. I am in no rush.
00:24:23Thanks. And what is your name?
00:24:26Luke. Just Luke.
00:24:27I don't remember him from the original story. He must be an unimportant extra.
00:24:30Leon Grant, pleased to meet you. May I ask why you were... letting everyone else go ahead?
00:24:36This isn't for me. And it is a waste of money.
00:24:39What do you mean?
00:24:40So what if I pass? Without powerful connections and money to bribe superiors.
00:24:44For life, you'll just be a minor official.
00:24:47For people like us, we can't become high officials.
00:24:50In any world, money is what decides your fate.
00:24:53Like in the 21st century, students who fail the college entrance exam can still study abroad if their family has
00:24:59money and return in glory.
00:25:01We're out of spots for today. Come back tomorrow.
00:25:03Leon, looks like you'll have to come back tomorrow.
00:25:06Luke, after hearing what you said, I am deeply moved. Some people are born in Rome, and others are born
00:25:13to be beasts of burden.
00:25:15I've heard of beasts of burden. But Leon, what is Rome? Is it a mule and a horse?
00:25:21Something like that. Yeah, something like that.
00:25:23Sir, are you a Grant? Are you Mr. Leon Grant from Grant's Tea House?
00:25:26You know me?
00:25:27Please wait, sir. I'll get the Lord Mayor.
00:25:31Leon, you know our Lumbridge cities. Lord Mayor.
00:25:34I don't.
00:25:35That is strange.
00:25:41You must be Mr. Grant.
00:25:42That is me.
00:25:43You are as impressive as they say. What a coincidence. There is just one spot left for today. Here's your
00:25:49exam token.
00:25:54I heard the Lord Mayor is a real snob. Why is he so friendly to Leon? He is so friendly,
00:25:59he is practically bowing to him.
00:26:01Is there some mistake?
00:26:03Number this is the last token.
00:26:04Keep it safe, sir. I am Frederick Cole. Please look out for me.
00:26:09Could it be a friend of my predecessor's family? Someone in the Imperial court? They knew I was taking the
00:26:14Autumn exams, so they pulled some strings. But how powerful must they be?
00:26:18To make a Lord Mayor act like this?
00:26:26Finally, it is done. I can finally get a good night's sleep.
00:26:30Really? My Lord. You couldn't sleep for days. Just because of this.
00:26:34What do you know? Do you know who pulled strings from Mr. Grant? Who was it?
00:26:40The Capital Skywatch Bureau. The Skywatch Bureau monitors all officials. Even the Ministers fear them. Think about it. Who can
00:26:47command the Skywatch Bureau? Who could that be?
00:26:49Then, it must be the Empress!
00:26:52Don't breathe a word of this. Take this to your grave.
00:26:55Yes, yes, yes.
00:26:55Host wrote a book. First chapter of Treatise on Fevers and Illnesses. Medicine Plus 200. Obtained Revival Pills X10. First
00:27:02chapter of Essential Techniques for Prosperity. Obtained Heritage Grain Seeds X100. Vitality Arts Manual X1.
00:27:09Good thing in my past life, I dabbled in a little bit of everything. Even though it is just the
00:27:13first chapter, the rewards are pretty good.
00:27:16Evervale soil is fertile, but the grain yield is less than a bushel. It is not even a fraction of
00:27:22miracle rice, let alone in a poor small kingdom. I just wonder if this world's soil and water will suit
00:27:29them. Perfect. I'll try my Vitality Arts.
00:27:38You dare, humans! You dare to kill a direct disciple of the Sacred Demon Palace! By order of the Demon
00:27:43Emperor, we will lead the Demon Army to crush Evervale!
00:28:00The demons have repeatedly violated our borders, and now they've issued a direct declaration of war. This is outrageous! Your
00:28:09Majesty! What are we to do?
00:28:12I am not afraid of the demons, but our kingdom is already weak. I fear that even if we win
00:28:16this war, Evervale will be left with nothing.
00:28:18Right! War needs money and food. If we levy Grey now, how will the people survive next year?
00:28:24Leon, he is a scholar of ancient and modern times. He might have a solution.
00:28:30My Vitality Arts! Plus this miracle rice! Such an amazing effect! So many new rice seeds!
00:28:42Husband, what have you planted?
00:28:44This is miracle rice! It yields three times as much, but the growing cycle is only a third as long.
00:28:49Sir, you are amazing! Not only are you a scholar, you can also grow such magical miracle rice!
00:28:55Husband, how did you grow this?
00:28:57Well, actually, it was a Grandpa Owen from my hometown who grew it. I just borrowed it.
00:29:02Where is he now?
00:29:07Sorry, husband.
00:29:09Wife, don't apologize. From now on, we'll use this miracle rice to grow and spread here.
00:29:14Let's make this place like my hometown. Immortals don't need temples, nor do they need prayers.
00:29:18Because at dusk, every wisp of smoke rising is a mortal's drifting longing.
00:29:22Husband, the Grand Residence has no land. We can't eat all of this ourselves. Why don't we sell it to
00:29:28the people?
00:29:28Madam, that is a great idea! If we sell these rice seeds, we can save so many starving people! It
00:29:32will save many lives in Evervale!
00:29:34You have such a kind heart. I am sure. Grandpa Owen would approve. As you wish.
00:29:39And the price? Just the same as ordinary rice. The miracle rice from my past life was like this. No
00:29:44patents, and no exorbitant prices.
00:29:46I was deeply blessed by Grandpa Owen. He fed me, so in this life, I should help others too.
00:29:50On behalf of Evervale's people, thank you, husband.
00:29:53On behalf of Evervale, thank you, husband.
00:29:55Wife, you can't just say that. The way you sound is like the Empress. If the Empress hears that, you'll
00:30:01lose your head. See? She still doesn't believe me.
00:30:04I trust you, husband. But Evervale's productivity is too low. Even with these miracle rice seeds, I am afraid in
00:30:10the short term, we still can't produce enough food.
00:30:12I've already thought of that. And this. It is a water wheel. Can channel a river directly into the fields
00:30:18for irrigation. This way, it saves labor.
00:30:22This. The wooden ox and flowing horse? It saves people from carrying goods on their shoulders?
00:30:27Sir, you are amazing. You even thought of these tools. Is there anything you can't do?
00:30:32I've never heard of such wonders. After all these years ruling the kingdom, I've been so ignorant. Compared to Leon,
00:30:39the Ministry of Works is completely useless.
00:30:43Husband, how did you think of this?
00:30:45Well, I have many more. If you want to know, I can tell you all about them later.
00:30:50With these tools, Evervale is safe. Evervale is saved. Though Leon is just a frail scholar, his heart, his character,
00:30:58is so rare. He is truly admirable.
00:31:02Wife, why are you crying?
00:31:04I am not. You are seeing things, husband. In that case, let's open a grain store next to the tea
00:31:10house.
00:31:10Okay. Whatever you say. Wife.
00:31:13Post explained traditional farming tools. Reward granted. Aura Sight. Spirit Spring X1. Plus 5000 years of cultivation. Celestial grade recipe.
00:31:219-fold fire spirit pill. Celestial fortune plus 1000. Current fortune quality.
00:31:25This Aura Sight is a great tool. With it, I can now see a person's fortune and fate. It'll make
00:31:31things much easier.
00:31:39Evervale and the Demon Realm are about to go to war. And he is opening a grain store. Is he
00:31:43in a hurry to die?
00:31:43Our grain all comes from Riverside City, from the Lewis family. Now that a grain store is opened here, the
00:31:47Lewis family won't be happy, will they?
00:31:48They won't be happy at all.
00:31:51Scram! Who told you to talk? Shut your mouths!
00:31:55Who is in charge here? Get out here!
00:32:02And you are?
00:32:04We're from the Lewis family in Riverside City. You've got some nerve. Who told you to open a grain store
00:32:09here? You dare steal our master's business?
00:32:11Sir, the Lewis family runs Riverside City. They're grain merchants too. Their master, William Lewis, is said to be related
00:32:17to the royal family.
00:32:18The Lewis family is so arrogant. They're overstepping their bounds, daring to meddle in Longbridge's affairs. They're far from the
00:32:23capital.
00:32:23It is even worse in Riverside City. Sir, madam, you should go inside. I'll handle this.
00:32:29Husband, you are just a scholar. Go inside and stay safe. I'll handle this.
00:32:33Enough chatter! Who is in charge here? Speak up!
00:32:37For you two to stand in front of me as a man, what a disgrace. Don't worry, I won't argue
00:32:43with him.
00:32:43If they insist on courting death, then I can't be blamed.
00:32:47Be smart. Shut this place down, or else I won't hold back.
00:32:52And if I don't?
00:32:54Listen, pretty boy, you are talking to me. You got a death wish?
00:32:58You dare hurt my husband? You have a death wish?
00:33:00Listen up!
00:33:01Don't you dare hurt sir and madam!
00:33:02Wordcraft manifestation! Bind!
00:33:05Could there be another master here helping us?
00:33:10Could there be another powerful person helping him?
00:33:13I didn't even notice. They must be far stronger than me.
00:33:17Neil!
00:33:18Speak!
00:33:19Sir.
00:33:20I am Jack King. I am a servant of the Lewis family.
00:33:23I came here to trash this grain store and take Leon Grant back to Riverside City.
00:33:27I didn't ask you.
00:33:29Yes, sir. Our master, Thomas Lewis, he is backed by Lord Skye, Lucian Lewis.
00:33:34He paid the Lord a fortune. So in Riverside City, he can throw his weight around.
00:33:38So Thomas Lewis is backed by Lord Skye. No wonder he can act like a king.
00:33:43This servant's a keeper. Ask him about his master's dirty deeds, and he'll really spill.
00:33:46Deez him!
00:33:51Get lost.
00:33:53Thank you, sir!
00:33:56This young girl is a master.
00:33:59She is a true master in disguise. Looks like the Lewis family messed with the wrong person.
00:34:02It wasn't me! Don't be ridiculous!
00:34:04It was you!
00:34:05Sir! It wasn't me!
00:34:11Husband, are you alright?
00:34:12I am fine.
00:34:14Husband, the autumn exams are near. You should just stay home and study.
00:34:17Stay away from the grain store. These people are vicious.
00:34:21You are just a frail scholar. Thank goodness you are okay.
00:34:24Otherwise, even ten Lewis families wouldn't be enough.
00:34:26Alright, alright. I'll listen to you. Don't worry.
00:34:29Nothing will happen to me, but from now on, I'll have to kill them after they leave.
00:34:34Otherwise, I'll just worry my wife.
00:34:36Sir, what just happened? It really wasn't me.
00:34:41I know. It was probably just some passer-by who stepped in to help.
00:34:45But he just said the Lewis family is backed by Lord Skye. What if that lord takes it out on
00:34:50the Grants?
00:34:50Don't worry. Lord Skye won't trouble us. As for the Lewises, even less so. Winter's coming. The Lewises time is
00:34:57up. And Lord Skye, he needs to be taught a lesson.
00:35:00Why are you so sure?
00:35:03Maybe it is the demon invasion. Lord Skye is too busy. Besides, Jack King said it himself. The Lewises are
00:35:09just bluffing.
00:35:09You have a point.
00:35:14So, this is Evervale's capital. So magnificent.
00:35:18Your Highness, there is no need to envy them. Soon, all of this will be the Empire of Darius's. Which
00:35:26means it will be yours. The Royal Seer has prophesied that Evervale's fortune is at an end. And now, the
00:35:34demon realm is invading in force.
00:35:36Exactly. This will all be mine sooner or later. That includes the Lofty Empress herself.
00:35:46What ambition, Your Highness.
00:35:48Conquering Evervale starts with the Autumn Examinations.
00:35:54I'd like to see Evervale's scholars. Let's see what they're really made of. And if they're worthy of serving me,
00:36:00let's go. Elder.
00:36:05The Autumn Examinations
00:36:05Husband, be careful on your journey. Please, take good care of yourself. I'll be waiting for you at home. The
00:36:11Autumn Examin is at the Long Bridge Administration Office. It lasts seven or eight days, though you'll have shadow guards.
00:36:17I am still worried. After all, you are not a fighter.
00:36:20My dear, don't worry. After the Autumn Exam, there will be a fireworks festival. As soon as I am done,
00:36:27I'll take you all around Long Bridge City.
00:36:30Okay. I'll wait for you at home. You must take good care of my husband.
00:36:35Don't worry, madam. I'll take good care of him.
00:36:37Dear, about what I told you. Do remember it all. Give priority for the grain seeds to the Valisher Garrison
00:36:44also. Find someone for me.
00:36:47Luke Quest.
00:36:48In the original story, Luke Quest is a man of great fortune. He is destined to become a king-level
00:36:52commander against the Demon Realm, the pillar protecting Evervale. Becoming close to someone with great fortune can boost my own
00:36:58fortune. It'll boost my survival chances. Too bad the original story was never finished. I don't know much about him,
00:37:03and I am not sure if I can find him.
00:37:06You are looking for him to make his acquaintance.
00:37:10No need. Just... If you find him, let me know right away.
00:37:14Okay.
00:37:19Make his acquaintance, as if someone with that much fortune is best befriended in secret. Keep my distance. To avoid
00:37:25the plot killing me, he won't die. But his friends will.
00:37:33A master of kings has a servant? What kind of noble is this? Since when has Longbridge City had someone
00:37:38like him? Let me use the Scholar System's aura site to see who this guy really is. Both of their
00:37:43auras are black. That means they're villains in the original story. Let me check their fates.
00:37:52Sir?
00:37:55Luke!
00:38:01Hold on! Hold on! Hold on! Luke!
00:38:03Are you okay?
00:38:05I am fine.
00:38:07Lian.
00:38:07What are you doing here?
00:38:09What happened?
00:38:10A normal person hit by a master of kings would be half dead.
00:38:14But Luke only has a scratch.
00:38:16Did that old man hold back?
00:38:20Aura!
00:38:20Luke! Fate!
00:38:22Depended on his sister in his youth.
00:38:24Gentle and obedient.
00:38:25His sister's death changed him.
00:38:26He entered the western battlefield.
00:38:28It became a lifelong obsession and renamed himself Luke Quest.
00:38:32So it is him. The Luke Quest I've been looking for.
00:38:36Leon. Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face? Sorry. I haven't been looking my best.
00:38:42No. Not at all. Come on. Tell me. What is going on?
00:38:46You must think I am a mess. My sister has a strange illness. I spent everything and still couldn't cure
00:38:52her. So, this is what I've become.
00:38:55It is fate we met. Let me go see her. I know a little medicine. Maybe I can cure her.
00:39:02Better not.
00:39:04I am broke.
00:39:05Why would I charge you?
00:39:07Leon. Are you serious?
00:39:09Of course.
00:39:10Okay. I'll lead the way.
00:39:13Please.
00:39:18Though Luke has great fortune, if I get too involved with him, I'll be in for endless trouble.
00:39:22But he is loyal to his country and sincere. Now, his only family member is gravely ill.
00:39:27With the scholar system, my medical skills are already superhuman. To let her die.
00:39:33I can't do that.
00:39:34Alright. I'll help him this once. It should be fine. Let's go!
00:39:43This isn't a mortal illness. It feels like a cold. Spiritual energy.
00:39:48Leon.
00:39:49How is my sister?
00:39:50Relax.
00:39:51I am confident. I can cure her. Let me take a look.
00:39:58Fortune. Gold. Faith. Dying. Due to a loved one's obsession. Revived by the child of destiny.
00:40:05With the ice phoenix demon body. Reaches the sage realm in six months.
00:40:09Summary. Lady of destiny.
00:40:12Golden legend. No wonder she is the lady of destiny. She can reach the sage realm in six months.
00:40:18I have the system. And it still took me over a year.
00:40:21Now I finally understand why Luke was so loyal to the protagonist.
00:40:26But in the original story, the protagonist never revived Tanya.
00:40:30He just lied to Luke. Making him his slave for light.
00:40:33Host has aided the lady of destiny. Good karma established. Fortune plus thousand.
00:40:39Just from examining her, I already got thousand fortune. Lady of destiny. She is a fortune harvester.
00:40:44Alright.
00:40:49Host gave the lady of destiny a revival pill. Fortune plus two thousand.
00:40:54Lady of destiny's life saved. Fate altered. Fortune plus one hundred plus one hundred plus one hundred.
00:40:59Fortune reached ten thousand. Current fortune went. Flew. Next realm unlocked. Emperor realm.
00:41:06So, it is true. The sage realm isn't the peak of this world. Good thing I haven't revealed myself.
00:41:12Looks like I'll have to keep increasing my fortune and reach the emperor realm soon.
00:41:16Alright. Your sister will be fine. She just needs a few days to rest.
00:41:26Leon. A man's knees are his pride. Get up. Get up. What are you doing?
00:41:29Your kindness, Leon. I will never forget it.
00:41:34I vow to serve you. I'll be your pawn. I'll take the blade for you.
00:41:40Swear it today. Heaven and earth are my weakness.
00:41:45Child of destiny subdued. Loyalty. One hundred. Fates intertwined. Fortune plus five thousand.
00:41:54Quickly. Luke. Please rise. There is no need for that.
00:41:57He'd become a slave to save his sister. It shows how much Tanya means to him.
00:42:01But I never thought. Tanya is also a lady of destiny. Maybe I can. Use this as a shortcut. To
00:42:07boost my own fortune.
00:42:09Leon. Then, what can I do for you?
00:42:14We're brothers. How could I order you around? What you should find is what you want to do.
00:42:19Luke's sister is alive now. This has changed the original story. I have to find a way to fix this.
00:42:25Otherwise, Luke can't become Lukequest.
00:42:28My dream.
00:42:29Right.
00:42:30When we first met, you told me you weren't after the Imperial exams.
00:42:34Now you should go find...
00:42:35What you truly want.
00:42:37Ask...
00:42:38My heart.
00:42:47Leon. I'll listen to you.
00:42:50I'll find my own path.
00:42:56Please, look after my sister, Leon. If I ever make my fortune, I'll come back to serve you.
00:43:02Good.
00:43:02I'll wait.
00:43:06You really don't remember anything?
00:43:10What about Luke? He is your brother.
00:43:18I don't remember. I only remember...
00:43:22My name is Tanya. From Evervale.
00:43:25Everything else is very fuzzy.
00:43:28Could this be a side effect?
00:43:30Alright.
00:43:31Don't force yourself to remember.
00:43:32I am Leon Grant.
00:43:33I am your brother's good friend.
00:43:35Before he left, he asked me to look after you.
00:43:42What are you doing, Miss Tanya? Get up!
00:43:45Sir, Miss Quinn already told me that you saved my life.
00:43:49For saving my life, I can't repay you.
00:43:54So...
00:43:55I offer myself to you.
00:44:00Your memories right now aren't complete.
00:44:02You are missing a lot.
00:44:04So...
00:44:05If I were to accept your service now, I'd be taking advantage of you.
00:44:08Besides, I am already married.
00:44:10Then...
00:44:11I'll be your slave.
00:44:12Your servant.
00:44:13To repay you, sir.
00:44:14They really are siblings.
00:44:15They're so alike.
00:44:17The Child of Destiny and the Lady of Destiny are both rushing to be my servants.
00:44:20I don't want this.
00:44:22That is...
00:44:23Not necessary.
00:44:25What are you doing now?
00:44:27Sir...
00:44:28Please...
00:44:29Just say yes.
00:44:30If you don't...
00:44:31I'll never be at peace.
00:44:33Well...
00:44:35Alright then.
00:44:44Your Highness.
00:44:46Today's Evervale exam.
00:44:48How was it?
00:44:50Evervale claims to be the most cultured dynasty.
00:44:53But it seems...
00:44:54It is nothing special.
00:44:57Winning the top scholar type.
00:44:58Will be a piece of cake.
00:45:00Great!
00:45:01Then I'll wish your highness.
00:45:04Victory in advance.
00:45:06Since your highness is so happy.
00:45:09May I go have a feast?
00:45:15Go on!
00:45:17Just remember.
00:45:18Don't eat too much.
00:45:19After all.
00:45:19This is still Evervale's territory.
00:45:21Your Highness.
00:45:24This old drake.
00:45:25He'll never change his cannibalistic ways.
00:45:28Whatever.
00:45:29Let him be.
00:45:31They're just Evervale's worthless slaves.
00:45:35Wife!
00:45:36I am home!
00:45:37Madam!
00:45:38I am home!
00:45:40Husband!
00:45:42Wife!
00:45:46I've missed you so much.
00:45:49And this is...
00:45:53This is Tanya Forrest.
00:45:54She has just recovered.
00:45:56She has lost some of her memory.
00:45:57She is Luke Forrest's sister.
00:45:59Luke asked me to look after her before he left.
00:46:01So I brought her.
00:46:05Meadow.
00:46:07Luke is Leon's friend.
00:46:08You don't have to be so formal.
00:46:10Just call me sister.
00:46:11Thank you for taking me in, sister.
00:46:15Sophie.
00:46:16Tanya is our guest.
00:46:17How could you let her carry all that luggage?
00:46:19It is not her fault!
00:46:20Sister!
00:46:21Please don't misunderstand.
00:46:22I wanted to.
00:46:23To treat me.
00:46:24He spent a fortune.
00:46:26Can't repay him.
00:46:28So I'll just take good care of him.
00:46:29And you, Madam.
00:46:30To repay him for saving my life.
00:46:32I see.
00:46:34Then I'll have Alex prepare the West Wing.
00:46:37You can stay here as long as you like.
00:46:38My wife is so generous.
00:46:40I was worried that bringing Tanya home would upset you.
00:46:43Turns out I worried for nothing.
00:46:46Husband.
00:46:47Do you remember what you promised me before the Autumn exams?
00:46:50Of course.
00:46:51How about we go to the festival later?
00:46:53Sure.
00:46:54Whatever you want.
00:47:00Look!
00:47:03Lord Cull.
00:47:04Enjoying the festival?
00:47:05With your subordinates?
00:47:07Mr. Grant.
00:47:08Don't ask.
00:47:09After the Autumn exams, a man-eating beast appeared in the city.
00:47:13It is struck several times.
00:47:14And we still haven't caught it.
00:47:16I've been covering it up.
00:47:17If Her Majesty finds out, I'd have been fired long ago.
00:47:20Is it that hard to catch?
00:47:22Still not caught?
00:47:23Tell me about it.
00:47:24The Longbridge Cavalry, even the Elders of the Immortals.
00:47:27Not a single lead.
00:47:28If in another two weeks, we still can't catch it.
00:47:30I'm afraid this will be the last time you see me, Mr. Grant.
00:47:34Husband, you two talk.
00:47:37I'll go look around.
00:47:38Wait for me.
00:47:44Your Majesty, weren't you at the festival with Mr. Grant?
00:47:46Why the sudden summons?
00:47:47On your way here, did you sense a demon's aura?
00:47:51No.
00:47:52That is strange.
00:47:53Could this demon be hiding its power and aura?
00:47:56Such power.
00:47:57Its cultivation must be high.
00:47:59Then why is it in Longbridge City?
00:48:00What is its purpose?
00:48:01Miss.
00:48:02I am Marcus Tiberius.
00:48:04I feel a connection with you.
00:48:06Would you do me the honor?
00:48:08Of joining me in my room for wine and the moon?
00:48:10Get lost.
00:48:14Interesting.
00:48:15As a prince, no woman has ever refused me.
00:48:18Women who refuse me, usually end up in Elder Drake's stomach.
00:48:22My dear.
00:48:24Why the harsh words?
00:48:26My family is very wealthy.
00:48:27And I am unmarried.
00:48:29If you are not spoken for, why not?
00:48:37Excuse me.
00:48:38She is taken.
00:48:40Husband.
00:48:41Sorry, dear.
00:48:42I am late.
00:48:42Are you okay?
00:48:44I am fine, husband.
00:48:48Just a commoner.
00:48:49How dare he have a beauty like her?
00:48:51If I weren't on a mission and had to stay hidden, I'd make you pay.
00:48:55These are the two villains I saw last time.
00:48:57We were interrupted.
00:48:58I didn't get to see their fates.
00:49:02Fortune.
00:49:03Black Fate.
00:49:03Knight.
00:49:03Prince of the Darius dynasty.
00:49:05Denied the throne.
00:49:05He is resentful.
00:49:06He dies in rebellion at the hands of the Child of Destiny.
00:49:08Fortune.
00:49:09Black Fate.
00:49:09Illegitimate son of the Eastern Seedrakes.
00:49:11Offended the Dragon Lord and was hunted down.
00:49:12Fears being discovered by the Dragon Clan.
00:49:14He is a vassal of the Darius dynasty.
00:49:16Go.
00:49:18Hold on.
00:49:20You just harassed my wife.
00:49:22Prince Marcus.
00:49:24Don't you owe me an explanation.
00:49:26Hold on.
00:49:28You just harassed my wife.
00:49:30Prince Marcus.
00:49:31Don't you owe me an explanation.
00:49:33Prince Marcus.
00:49:34Could he be the ninth prince of the Darius dynasty?
00:49:37He is a prince?
00:49:39That is right.
00:49:40The recent Autumn Imperial exam.
00:49:41He took it too.
00:49:43So, Prince Marcus.
00:49:44What did you think of the exam questions?
00:49:45How hard were they?
00:49:46Don't make wild accusations.
00:49:48I may be the ninth prince of Darius.
00:49:50But I didn't take your Autumn exam.
00:49:51Every dynasty's imperial exam is for those who earn official rank.
00:49:53And they carry the nation's fate.
00:49:55Marcus Tiberius's actions are to steal Evervale's scholarly fortune.
00:49:57What a vicious ambition.
00:50:00Allbark.
00:50:00No bite.
00:50:02Oh, right.
00:50:03He is from a place farther than Darius.
00:50:05The Eastern Seedrakes.
00:50:07Wonder if the Dragon Lord is still looking for you.
00:50:09You?
00:50:10Do you know who I am?
00:50:11Husband.
00:50:12Could he be the one?
00:50:13The man eating monster?
00:50:15That is right.
00:50:16Everyone, it is him.
00:50:17Run!
00:50:18Run!
00:50:19Run!
00:50:19Run!
00:50:20Run!
00:50:23Elder Drake.
00:50:24Let's go.
00:50:25Or the Long Bridge Cavalry.
00:50:26And the Cultivators will be here.
00:50:27We'll be trapped.
00:50:31Host reveal to the crowd.
00:50:33The mid-level villain plot.
00:50:34Reward granted.
00:50:35Celestial Supreme Relic.
00:50:37Heaven Bane Dragonspear.
00:50:38Divine Sphere Technique.
00:50:40Phoenix Gathering.
00:50:41Divine Sphere Essence.
00:50:43Divine True Blood.
00:50:43Fire Attribute.
00:50:47Husband.
00:50:48I am scared.
00:50:50Let's go home.
00:50:52Don't be afraid.
00:50:53I am here.
00:50:54You are safe.
00:50:55You dared to hit on my wife.
00:50:57And you scared her.
00:50:58You two have to die.
00:51:02Who...
00:51:03Who the hell is this kid?
00:51:05He exposed everything.
00:51:08Our plan to steal the scholarly fortune failed.
00:51:10He ruined our grand plan.
00:51:14Your Highness.
00:51:15What do we do now?
00:51:18I can't let this go.
00:51:22There were too many people.
00:51:23I couldn't get to him.
00:51:26Elder Drake.
00:51:28Tomorrow morning.
00:51:29We'll find a chance to kill him.
00:51:32Then back to Darius.
00:51:37Long Bridge has been so chaotic lately.
00:51:39I am so unlucky.
00:51:41It is either a child of destiny or a villain.
00:51:44Should we move somewhere else?
00:51:51What is on your mind, Leon?
00:51:53You are so lost in thought.
00:51:55I was thinking...
00:51:56about...
00:51:57moving.
00:52:00Where ever you go, Leon.
00:52:01We'll follow.
00:52:04But...
00:52:05the autumn exam results are coming out soon.
00:52:07Let's wait and see what happens then.
00:52:09Okay.
00:52:10But...
00:52:10before that...
00:52:12we have something more important to do.
00:52:15What?
00:52:16It is...
00:52:18sleeping.
00:52:37this true blood essence from the system...
00:52:39is pretty good.
00:52:40After absorbing it,
00:52:41I've been promoted to Emperor Realm,
00:52:43second tier.
00:52:52It is that Drake again.
00:52:55He is still here.
00:52:56Looks like he is after me.
00:52:58Good.
00:52:59Saves me the trouble of finding him.
00:53:04Your highness.
00:53:05What is it?
00:53:07Someone's coming!
00:53:14You are a cultivator too, your highness.
00:53:17Don't waste your breath on him.
00:53:18This kid...
00:53:19He has walked right into our trap.
00:53:22I'll kill him for you.
00:53:33A celestial supreme relic.
00:53:35You?
00:53:36Who are you?
00:53:37Wanted to live as a normal person
00:53:38and get along with you.
00:53:40But you were just asking for death.
00:53:44Break.
00:54:01Your turn.
00:54:06Stay back!
00:54:14Father, save me!
00:54:21How dare you!
00:54:22You killed my son!
00:54:24How do you want to die!
00:54:27A phantom.
00:54:36Your majesty!
00:54:37Look!
00:54:37Outside the city!
00:54:38It seems two immense powers are fighting.
00:54:41Am I imagining things?
00:54:42Why does this aura...
00:54:44feel so much like Emperor Darius?
00:54:46It seems one of them is Emperor Darius.
00:54:48Emperor Darius!
00:54:49How could he possibly be in Longbridge?
00:54:51Could it be because of Marcus Tiberius?
00:54:53Very likely, Alex.
00:54:55Go and investigate.
00:54:56See who exactly is fighting Emperor Darius.
00:54:59Yes, your majesty.
00:55:03Leon!
00:55:05So what if you are a peak Celestials Phantom?
00:55:07Even if you came in person,
00:55:08I'd still kill you!
00:55:10Oh!
00:55:18Olive in person!
00:55:18There is no other cool�.
00:55:20Yourizen!
00:55:22Anyway!
00:55:23Weagre experiments everywhere.
00:55:33I never took a minute.
00:55:34I'VE ALL OUT TO GO TO THE OCEAN open.
00:55:34I'll kill youaaaa!
00:55:45Strange. He is not in the study either. Where could Leon have gone so early? Leon is so weak. There
00:55:51are masters fighting outside the city. What if something happens to him?
00:56:01Wife, where are you rushing off to? I must be worrying too much. I am just imagining things. Leon is
00:56:06just a frail scholar. Even if he has learned, how could he possibly be a master who can face Emperor
00:56:10Darius?
00:56:12Leon, why did you leave without a word? There are masters fighting outside. You are so weak. What if something
00:56:18happens to you?
00:56:20Sorry to worry you. I saw you were so tired last night, so I went to get you some meat
00:56:24to build your strength.
00:56:25You are so good to me, Leon. But what kind of meat is this? It smells a little strange.
00:56:34Snake meat? If you don't like it, I'll just feed it to the dogs.
00:56:37Your majesty, here is their exam paper. Please take a look.
00:56:41Let me see how Leon did. With Leon's extraordinary talent, he must have written a brilliant essay.
00:56:50A brilliant essay.
00:56:54Alex, are you sure you have the right one?
00:56:58Absolutely. I retrieved it myself. No one else touched it.
00:57:03This? How could sir have turned in a blank paper? The local officials, they're so out of line.
00:57:11He is a Skywatch-backed candidate, unless they have a death wish. Otherwise, how would they dare touch Leon's essay?
00:57:17Leon's talent is unmatched. If he passes, he'll have to go to the capital, I think.
00:57:21He must have done this because he couldn't bear to leave me. That is why he resorted to this.
00:57:27Your majesty, what should we do now?
00:57:30Of course Leon must pass. Leon loves me so deeply. How could I possibly let him down?
00:57:38Who killed me? And who did I kill?
00:57:42Today's the day the autumn exam results are posted. The officials are almost done. Why aren't you worried at all?
00:57:47What is the rush? The list stays up for days.
00:57:51I turned in a blank paper anyway. My name won't be on the list. What is the point?
00:57:58Listen.
00:57:59That sounds like the officials. Announcing a scholar's success.
00:58:05Someone nearby passed the exam.
00:58:09But, around here, I don't think anyone took the autumn exam.
00:58:15Really?
00:58:16Mr. Grant?
00:58:19Is Mr. Grant home?
00:58:22I am here to congratulate you.
00:58:25Congratulations, Mr. Grant.
00:58:27You are the top scholar.
00:58:33We'll call you Lord Grant now.
00:58:39When you are successful, don't forget about me.
00:58:44Top scholar of Longbridge?
00:58:47It is a fix.
00:58:48I turned in a blank paper, but I am the top scholar.
00:58:51Was it that mysterious official again, helping me out?
00:58:54I just wanted to fail.
00:58:55But this person just made me the top scholar.
00:59:00I'll take my leave.
00:59:05Wow.
00:59:05No wonder the magistrate came himself.
00:59:08So what is scholar Grant?
00:59:09I knew that Grant boy was a keeper.
00:59:11He was born to be a scholar.
00:59:16I don't want to go to the capital, but I have no choice.
00:59:21If I anger the empress, it could be fatal for the Grant family.
00:59:29Congratulations, husband, on becoming a scholar.
00:59:32You are an official now.
00:59:37If I go to the capital, I am going to find that well-meaning, but incompetent official and give them
00:59:41a good whipping.
00:59:43Husband, you seem unhappy.
00:59:50My dear, I don't want to go to the capital.
00:59:53I just want to spend my life with you.
00:59:54Only by becoming an official can we truly spend our lives together.
00:59:58An emperor entering the mortal world is not the end.
01:00:01It is just the beginning.
01:00:03Only by helping Leon reach a high enough position can we break this deadlock.
01:00:07Husband, to refuse Heaven's gift is to invite disaster.
01:00:10Perhaps this is Heaven's way of bringing you to the capital.
01:00:14Scholar title acquired.
01:00:16Scholar's quest unlocked Imperial exams.
01:00:18From now on, every time you gain a title or salary, or achieve a scholarly milestone,
01:00:24you'll receive a special Scholar's bonus and rewards.
01:00:28So there is a quest for this, too.
01:00:30Maybe my wife was right.
01:00:31It is my destiny.
01:00:32Since I can't avoid it, I'll go.
01:00:35If it gets too bad, I can always make a run for it.
01:00:37Life.
01:00:39You are right.
01:00:45I don't want to go.
01:00:48I'll go to the capital first to get settled.
01:00:50You must come in two weeks.
01:00:52Leon.
01:00:53Actually, we could wait for the escort and go together.
01:00:57I want to go with you, too.
01:00:59But, just listen to me.
01:01:01After all, we're new to the capital.
01:01:03We don't know our way around.
01:01:04Once I am settled at Eastgate, I'll send for you right away.
01:01:07That way, you won't be too tired when you arrive.
01:01:09All right.
01:01:10We'll be in the capital in two weeks at most.
01:01:12I can't let Leon handle everything alone for so long.
01:01:14Besides, you have to prepare for the spring examinations.
01:01:18I am off.
01:01:26I am really going.
01:01:27Miss me?
01:01:28I am gone.
01:01:37Alex, go ahead and make all the arrangements for Leon.
01:01:40Also, contact Faye.
01:01:41The Melody Pavilion has all the capital's intel.
01:01:43Have her look out for him.
01:01:45Understood.
01:01:46Understood.
01:01:50Who is it?
01:01:52It is me, sir.
01:01:53Come in.
01:01:57Sir, someone's here for you.
01:01:59Just arrived.
01:02:00I don't know anyone here.
01:02:02Who would know me?
01:02:03Who is it?
01:02:04By the accent.
01:02:06He is from Longbridge.
01:02:08Let him in.
01:02:10That is me.
01:02:12Leon.
01:02:13Hold it.
01:02:18Unbelievable.
01:02:19Leon.
01:02:20You are still as charming as ever.
01:02:24So, handsome.
01:02:26Tanya.
01:02:28You may go.
01:02:29Yes, sir.
01:02:31You know me?
01:02:33And you are.
01:02:35I am Victor Wade.
01:02:37His hands have calluses from years of wielding a weapon.
01:02:40He is a martial artist.
01:02:42Mid-level warrior.
01:02:43I am in the Imperial Guard.
01:02:45A street officer.
01:02:46And I am also the head of the Longbridge Association here.
01:02:50Victor.
01:02:51My apologies.
01:02:52Don't be so formal.
01:02:54The other day, many of our Longbridge scholars are already here.
01:02:57We've been waiting for you.
01:02:58Scholar Grant, I've arranged a welcome feast at the Melody Pavilion.
01:03:02Brother, you can't refuse.
01:03:04With such a warm invitation, Victor, it would be rude to refuse.
01:03:08Great.
01:03:09Please.
01:03:10Please.
01:03:14Victor.
01:03:20Justio.
01:03:22Wait.
01:03:29Everyone, let me introduce someone special.
01:03:32This is, from our Longbridge, our Scholar Grant.
01:03:37Scholar Grant?
01:03:38It is Scholar Grant.
01:03:40Hello.
01:03:40Hi, everyone.
01:03:43What are you waiting for?
01:03:45Show your respect.
01:03:46Leon, it is an honor to meet you.
01:03:48You are as impressive as they say.
01:03:49You are too kind.
01:03:51Another day.
01:03:52Let's discuss our literary works.
01:03:54How about it?
01:03:54Absolutely.
01:03:56Come on.
01:03:57That's all toast to Leon.
01:04:00To Scholar.
01:04:01Grant to Leon.
01:04:02To Leon.
01:04:03Thank you all.
01:04:04To Leon.
01:04:05Please.
01:04:15So this is, the Leon Grant, who has bewitched her majesty.
01:04:21He is as impressive as they say.
01:04:23Here.
01:04:24Have another.
01:04:27But to be here, carousing.
01:04:29How could you do this to her majesty?
01:04:30It seems I must.
01:04:32Test you for her majesty.
01:04:33See you for her majesty.
01:04:41Madam.
01:04:43Comey.
01:04:46How do you run this place?
01:04:49You promised to always save my seat.
01:04:51So why is someone sitting there today?
01:04:56Grey Aura.
01:04:57He must be a minor villain.
01:05:00Mr. Ward.
01:05:00You haven't been here for a few days.
01:05:03It is very busy today.
01:05:05The table was just sitting empty.
01:05:06Bullshit.
01:05:07My seat.
01:05:08Even if it is empty, you can't let some useless scholar sit there.
01:05:13Yes, yes, yes.
01:05:14Please.
01:05:15Calm down.
01:05:16Calm down.
01:05:17Who is he?
01:05:18He is Brandon Ward.
01:05:20He is a nobody.
01:05:22His father is the capital's general ward.
01:05:24He commands the Imperial Guard.
01:05:26Now, we're in trouble.
01:05:32Oh, Mr. Ward.
01:05:33My apologies.
01:05:35It was all a misunderstanding.
01:05:36We'll move to another table.
01:05:37We won't disturb you.
01:05:44No way.
01:05:46You've already ruined my good time.
01:05:50How about this?
01:05:52Tonight, the fee for Miss Faye is on you.
01:05:54You'll pay for it.
01:05:55And we'll call it even.
01:05:59Faye Shaw is the top courtesy in here.
01:06:02One invitation costs at least a hundred gold.
01:06:04Even if we all pooled our money, it wouldn't be enough.
01:06:06You were making this impossible for us.
01:06:08Hurry up.
01:06:09Stop stalling.
01:06:10Oh, I won't be so nice.
01:06:14Please, Mr. Ward.
01:06:16Mr. Ward, Miss Faye.
01:06:18Invites you to wait on her pleasure boat.
01:06:20Great.
01:06:21Miss Faye has finally accepted me.
01:06:24I'll be right there.
01:06:25Let's go.
01:06:26Let's go.
01:06:27Mr. Ward.
01:06:28We'll save your seat next time.
01:06:37Thank goodness Miss Faye saved us.
01:06:39Otherwise, who knows what would have happened.
01:06:42Oh, yeah.
01:06:43Yeah.
01:06:44It is a shame, though.
01:06:46Miss Faye.
01:06:47Wasting herself on a man like that.
01:06:51All right.
01:06:52The man my lady dislikes has been sent away.
01:06:55Mr. Leon Grant.
01:06:55My lady has long admired your talent.
01:06:57Please join her upstairs.
01:06:58Me?
01:07:01Leon.
01:07:02So you and Miss Faye know each other.
01:07:05I get it.
01:07:07Miss Faye helped us.
01:07:08Because of you.
01:07:12I don't know her.
01:07:14What is going on?
01:07:21Miss Faye.
01:07:22You asked me here.
01:07:24What is this about?
01:07:31Sir?
01:07:34You are funny.
01:07:36I invited you to my chambers.
01:07:38What do you think, sir?
01:07:40What else could it be?
01:07:43Why does he seem so cold to me?
01:07:48Sorry.
01:07:50I am a married man.
01:07:51I can't do that.
01:07:55Sir.
01:08:00Sir.
01:08:01Sir.
01:08:03Since you refused.
01:08:07I won't force you.
01:08:10Then.
01:08:15How about...
01:08:18I play you a song.
01:08:20Oh.
01:08:20All right.
01:08:23Turning down a beauty's advances.
01:08:25He has got some serious self-control.
01:08:51This melody is heavenly.
01:08:52Such a rare treat on Earth.
01:08:54It was worth coming.
01:08:56Hear this melody.
01:08:58I can die happy now.
01:09:00Indeed.
01:09:06Damn it.
01:09:07Since I became famous in the capital,
01:09:09I've never been so humiliated.
01:09:12How could someone fall asleep to my music?
01:09:17Sir.
01:09:19Mr. Grant.
01:09:21Good.
01:09:22Good.
01:09:23Wonderful.
01:09:23That was a wonderful performance.
01:09:26Now that you are done,
01:09:27is there anything else?
01:09:31Not so fast, sir.
01:09:34I've always admired your scholarly talent.
01:09:36Not at all.
01:09:38I'd also like...
01:09:40to see your literary talent.
01:09:42Sorry.
01:09:42I am not that talented.
01:09:44I have no works to show.
01:09:45Besides,
01:09:46it is getting late.
01:09:47I should be going.
01:09:48Oh, right.
01:09:49Sir.
01:09:51Sir.
01:09:56He is really hiding his talents.
01:09:59He has no desire to show off at all.
01:10:04Sir, may I see this?
01:10:06Number.
01:10:08This is for my wife.
01:10:14I'm sorry.
01:10:14Her majesty has a keen eye.
01:10:16So steadfast.
01:10:18And so supremely talented.
01:10:20Where on earth did she find him?
01:10:24I'm sorry.
01:10:27I'm sorry.
01:10:29I'm sorry.
01:10:29I'm sorry.
01:10:33I'm sorry.
01:10:34I'm sorry.
01:10:36I'm sorry.
01:10:38I'm sorry.
01:10:38I'm sorry.
01:10:39I'm sorry.
01:10:39and with the Darius royal family involved, and the Empress has no response.
01:10:45Her Majesty doesn't speak. We don't ask.
01:10:48We fought with the former Emperor to finally stabilize Evervale.
01:10:52And her? She just indulges in the palace, ignoring state affairs.
01:10:57She never should have taken the throne.
01:10:59General, watch your words.
01:11:01Prime Minister, you are the highest official. You won't advise her.
01:11:05Are you willing to keep running the court for her and let her keep acting so recklessly?
01:11:10I, uh...
01:11:11Fine. Keep spoiling her then.
01:11:16Well, we've talked enough for today. I'll visit again another day.
01:11:30If you won't help me, then I'll find others.
01:11:36My ancestors, hear me, have no other choice.
01:11:40Since she can't be a proper Empress, then I'll clean up the court.
01:11:44Even if I have to use outside help.
01:11:50Your Majesty.
01:11:52The Shadowguard found on a residential street near Eastgate.
01:11:55A suspicious black workshop.
01:11:59Eastgate.
01:12:00Isn't that the street Leon is moving to?
01:12:02Yes.
01:12:03We don't know what is going on inside.
01:12:05It is very mysterious.
01:12:06The Shadowguard is suspicious.
01:12:08In the capital, that is not unusual, but not Eastgate.
01:12:12I can't let Leon be in any danger.
01:12:15My decree.
01:12:17Have the Prime Minister investigate.
01:12:19Yes.
01:12:28Sir, you are so thoughtful.
01:12:30The new residence is decorated just like the old one.
01:12:34Madam will be so happy.
01:12:41Do you smell something burning?
01:12:44Like firecrackers.
01:12:48You are right.
01:12:51But at this hour, why would anyone be making firecrackers?
01:12:54This smell is suspicious.
01:12:57I'll go take a look.
01:12:59You too.
01:13:00Finish up here.
01:13:13The smell must be coming from here.
01:13:29This is definitely an illegal workshop.
01:13:31Too close to the residence.
01:13:33It is a huge danger.
01:13:34I have to shut this place down.
01:13:35Otherwise, when my wife moves here, I can't have this threat nearby.
01:13:40General, I thought the Empress wasn't governing.
01:13:43How did she notice Eastgate?
01:13:45The black powder makers.
01:13:46They're all Darius craftsmen.
01:13:48If they're caught, it will prove I am a traitor.
01:13:53If Her Majesty finds out our plot, our entire clans will be wiped out.
01:13:59To cover this up, we have to clear it out tonight.
01:14:02If we can't make it, just blow it up.
01:14:05Understood.
01:14:12Hurry up.
01:14:15This stuff.
01:14:17Must be out of the city tonight.
01:14:19Move it!
01:14:26Oh, he's there.
01:14:28Setting up shop next to someone's home, making explosive weapons?
01:14:30That is a bit much, isn't it?
01:14:32My dear neighbor.
01:14:34You live next to me.
01:14:36You're bad luck.
01:14:38Silence him.
01:14:46Who are you?
01:14:47Prime Minister's man.
01:14:49Stay back.
01:14:50Or I'll take you down with me.
01:14:51Take me down with you.
01:14:53I doubt it.
01:14:57Don't push me.
01:14:59Go on.
01:15:00Don't think I won't.
01:15:01Let it. I'll do it.
01:15:02You made me do this.
01:15:04You made me do this.
01:15:15I am done for.
01:15:20The Star Wars.
01:15:24Host has protected the people with his sword.
01:15:26Merit gained.
01:15:27Acquired.
01:15:28Golden Robe of Merit.
01:15:29Rank.
01:15:29Unknown.
01:15:30Fortune plus 10,000 plus 10,000.
01:15:32It was worth it.
01:15:33My fortune just reached the Golden rank.
01:15:36In the original story, that makes me half a child of destiny.
01:15:41Only those with great merit who make a huge contribution can summon the golden merit clouds.
01:15:46But that powerful figure has secretly saved us.
01:15:50If he hadn't stepped in, the explosion had gone off.
01:15:53The whole capital city would have been a bloodbath.
01:15:58Thank you, ma-
