00:00:00Hello, hello! This is eSoup, aka Specific Soup. Um, I'm going right into reacting to episode 21
00:00:09of Word of Honor. I don't know what I'm in for. I do see one of the scorpion ladies. I'm not
00:00:15totally sure who that is in the back, but it kind of looks like the immortal dude. I hope we get a
00:00:20little bit of- of- of happiness, maybe? Okay. All right, hello. We're gonna do some catching up
00:00:34with our ghost people and our scorpion people, I think. Oh, that's probably the lustful ghost.
00:00:40Yeah, they're- yeah.
00:00:50Wait, sissy and angry? I think I know what that means- I think I know what she means,
00:01:09but that's a really funny way to put it.
00:01:20Um, yes.
00:01:31Um.
00:01:41Are you there enough?
00:01:42Uh huh.
00:01:43Are you there enough?
00:01:45He doesn't like her... her vibe, her style.
00:02:12He just gave... did she just give him more?
00:02:18Is that the antidote?
00:02:20That looks the same.
00:02:22No, okay.
00:02:24Okay.
00:02:42I love the look with this... the pale upper lip and the pink lower lip.
00:02:48So, let's go.
00:02:50It's okay.
00:02:52It's okay.
00:02:54It's okay.
00:02:56Yes.
00:02:58Okay.
00:03:00It's okay.
00:03:02It's okay.
00:03:04Okay.
00:03:06Okay.
00:03:08Okay.
00:03:10.
00:03:13.
00:03:15.
00:03:16.
00:03:19.
00:03:21.
00:03:22.
00:03:25.
00:03:25.
00:03:27.
00:03:33.
00:03:36.
00:03:37.
00:03:40I'm still thinking about, like, okay, the point at which Joe Zishu was like, oh, that's who he is.
00:03:51But I wonder if he's on the uptake with the chief of the Ghost Valley thing.
00:03:57Like, I really don't know.
00:03:59I can't tell.
00:04:00I feel like he's not always revealing the full extent of, like, how much he knows or, like, is on to things about Wen Keqing.
00:04:09So just because it hasn't been terribly hinted at doesn't mean that he doesn't, like, have everything figured out already.
00:04:18But I'm not totally sure.
00:04:39I don't know.
00:04:46I don't know, but I want to try and check it out.
00:04:48Why are you trying?
00:04:59Hmm.
00:04:59If this guy didn't die, he was dead.
00:05:01He was dead.
00:05:03That's what I would do with the old man.
00:05:07He is just like the devil with those men.
00:05:11He is dead.
00:05:13He is dead.
00:05:14Hey, you're dead.
00:05:16You can see him being a奴才.
00:05:18I can see him being a fool.
00:05:20I don't like him.
00:05:23We're not good at the back of his hands.
00:05:25He is dead.
00:05:26He is dead.
00:05:28So with all the people who betrayed him
00:05:48as the chief of the Ghost Valley
00:05:50and the ones that still report to him
00:05:54or like want to,
00:05:55I really don't know what's going to happen,
00:05:57but I feel like, you know,
00:05:59part of a good outcome
00:06:00is him not really being the chief of the Ghost Valley anymore
00:06:04and leaving that behind.
00:06:06And even though it obviously presents challenges
00:06:09and a lot of people that they're going to have to fight,
00:06:12in a way it's like kind of good
00:06:13that a bunch of people are trying to like leave
00:06:16and go against him.
00:06:18If that makes sense,
00:06:20there's like fewer expectations for him
00:06:22as like having to hold that role.
00:06:25And the people who will stay like loyal to him
00:06:29are like his actual friends
00:06:31or at least the ghosts that are like closer to him in some way.
00:06:35And then maybe they could all just like live
00:06:37on the outside of the Ghost Valley.
00:06:40I don't know.
00:06:40I don't know what's going to happen with all this.
00:06:43I'm curious how...
00:06:44It's like we still don't really know
00:06:46the full scope of the plans
00:06:49that Wen Cushing set into action.
00:06:51And we don't know kind of like how in deep is he?
00:06:55How in deep is everybody?
00:06:57And what else is going to happen?
00:07:05Are we getting...
00:07:09Oh my God.
00:07:12Are they giving us the backstory of how he...
00:07:15Please.
00:07:17I was worried that we were going to have to wait for longer
00:07:20to get this.
00:07:21But this now we got the childhood backstory.
00:07:24Maybe he was still a kid.
00:07:25I don't know.
00:07:26But I need this right now.
00:07:27Are we sure he actually did that?
00:07:43Yeah.
00:07:46Are we sure that's real?
00:07:55Hello. Okay, where are you?
00:08:01Hey.
00:08:04Is that him? Oh, that's a changing ghost.
00:08:08Oh.
00:08:11Oh.
00:08:16Oh.
00:08:18Oh. Oh, he did.
00:08:22Ew.
00:08:22Okay. He was still, like, I think they're gonna, I don't know how soon we're gonna get it,
00:08:32but I think they're gonna make us wait longer until we find out his, like, original entry into
00:08:38the Ghost Valley, why is he there situation. Because that's what I really want to know.
00:08:44And how long was he there? Because initially I was thinking, did he basically end up there from,
00:08:49like, when he was a, at some point when he was a kid, and just, like, grow up there. But I don't
00:08:54know, there could have been other places he was at before he got to the Ghost Valley.
00:08:59This is the part where I'm just, like, I have no idea. Anything could have happened,
00:09:03and all of it is bad.
00:09:05Okay. Let's, are we going back to our boys?
00:09:09What is he gonna do right now?
00:09:13Oh.
00:09:16So,
00:09:17温叔小的时候就合シュ見过面了
00:09:20那太师傅
00:09:21怎麼沒帶他回去呢?
00:09:23當時
00:09:23太師傅有要事在身
00:09:25不方便帶着重傷的病人
00:09:28也答應他們
00:09:29三個月之後
00:09:30接他們回四季山莊
00:09:32只是沒想到
00:09:34再回到那個村落室
00:09:36整個村子
00:09:38都被遺為平敵
00:09:40這件事情
00:09:41So, it's the only one that you have been a good friend.
00:09:45You know, I was a kid in the last year,
00:09:47and was a kid in the first year,
00:09:49and he said,
00:09:50I was a kid in the third-year-old.
00:09:53I knew that
00:09:55he was always so sad for this.
00:09:59You're all those people who are killed.
00:10:00But they are gone.
00:10:02It's hard to find them.
00:10:04But it's so hard.
00:10:05You're so old to see them.
00:10:07So,
00:10:10Okay, so his father had been adopted.
00:10:27Okay, so his father had been adopted.
00:10:40Okay, so his father had been adopted.
00:10:47Don't say that, bro.
00:10:51Okay, yeah, so that's what happened is they momentarily left them and then came back and
00:11:06everyone was gone from the village.
00:11:08So that's why, that's why Joseph Shu only knew him for a short period of time.
00:11:12He was only there for a short period of time and then that's why he didn't know like what
00:11:16happened to him or his parents after that or anything.
00:11:23I don't know if it's just traumatizing thinking about those times or if it makes him think
00:11:30about their personal relationship differently or maybe both.
00:11:37I think, I don't know if it's just traumatizing thinking about those times or if it makes him
00:11:50think about their personal relationship differently or maybe both.
00:11:56I think he's just like, I don't want to be considered as like the junior if he's thinking
00:12:01of it like, I mean more to you than that.
00:12:04Or I just don't want to think about the like, sect terms because of how traumatic that time
00:12:09was.
00:12:10I don't know but that's definitely not what he's wanting to hear.
00:12:13But for, for Joseph Shu that's like, extremely meaningful.
00:12:18Him saying that doesn't mean that like, the other parts of their relationship are like,
00:12:23less important suddenly.
00:12:25Like to Joseph Shu, that's like, super meaningful and like, the greatest thing.
00:12:30And to Wen Keqing that's like, oh no.
00:12:33Oh no.
00:12:50I just, I don't want him to like, run away right now.
00:12:57Oh.
00:12:58Okay, I thought he was gonna like, run away or something.
00:13:02Um.
00:13:03But I think he's just like, trying to put on a brave face and like, be jokey again.
00:13:20Okay.
00:13:21Okay, he's back.
00:13:22I don't know what was gonna happen there.
00:13:24Uh.
00:13:25I was going to go to the 4G Shandong.
00:13:26You want to go back to the 4G Shandong?
00:13:27What does that mean?
00:13:28So he's still going to go?
00:13:29The 4G Shandong is going to go.
00:13:30If you go to the 5G Shandong.
00:13:31No mistake.
00:13:32I don't want to go to the 4G Shandong.
00:13:33I can go to the 5G Shandong already.
00:13:34I am so sure he'll go.
00:13:35Hmm.
00:13:36It's fine.
00:13:37All right.
00:13:38The 4G Shandong is in the 4G Shandong.
00:13:39If he'll come back to the 4G Shandong.
00:13:41If he's gonna come back, I will not go there.
00:13:42If he can turn back to the 4G Shandong.
00:13:45Oh.
00:13:46I am sure he'll go there.
00:13:48Oh.
00:13:49Don't say that about that.
00:14:01No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:14:03Oh, my son is a child.
00:14:04I'm sorry for you.
00:14:06I'm sorry for you, my dad.
00:14:08I'm a debtor for my master.
00:14:11You need to pay me.
00:14:12Oh, my son.
00:14:13What do you want me to say?
00:14:15I can tell you.
00:14:18I'm not a father.
00:14:20I'm not a father.
00:14:22I'm not a father.
00:14:23I'm not a father.
00:14:25What do you want me to say?
00:14:27I must be for you.
00:14:29I tell you.
00:14:31I'm not a father.
00:14:33I'm not a father.
00:14:35You're the one.
00:14:37I'm sorry.
00:14:39I'm sorry.
00:14:41I don't like my father.
00:14:44I'll give you my son.
00:14:46I'll give you my son.
00:14:48I'll give you my son.
00:14:50I'll give you my son.
00:14:52I'll give you my son.
00:14:54I'll give you my son.
00:14:56Okay.
00:14:58So he's like, if you can do it without messing up this other stuff,
00:15:01i'm not trying to extend his life but reduce the quality of it and i'm sure joseph shu at least
00:15:07feels better about that i still don't know if he like wants it exactly
00:15:13wait are you serious
00:15:27okay come on
00:15:36okay okay so i think joseph shu is like i'm okay with it if you can actually do it if you can
00:15:46actually extend my life without like any negative effects or losing powers or anything happening in
00:15:55the meantime i think that was his main issue but i think he also i think right now he has like a
00:16:03deepened acceptance maybe or like understanding of when kushing asking for that that he's not gonna
00:16:12be like no stop i don't want that like i mean he still wants him to respect his wishes but i think
00:16:19he maybe has a greater understanding of like just how much it means to him and i'm not sure if he's
00:16:26still feeling like oh i deserve to die early because of all the stuff i did because that would
00:16:32complicate things too but i don't know how much he actually feels that and how much that was him
00:16:39blowing up when he was like especially upset i just wonder if the immortal guy is gonna lead them
00:16:45on like this whole thing and then it's not actually gonna work out
00:16:49yeah
00:16:55yeah
00:16:59yeah

00:18:59It's a lot.
00:19:01As you know what I'm talking about,
00:19:04I think that you've done it.
00:19:05You've been a bit tired of it.
00:19:07You've been a bit tired of it.
00:19:09You've been a bit tired of it.

00:19:12What?
00:19:13What's your fault?
00:19:15What did you say?
00:19:16I think he said that he was a good friend.

00:19:22which is the brother of your wife.

00:20:26I am sorry.

00:21:28Uh-oh, okay.
00:21:29So Scorpion guy will be fighting.
00:21:32Oh, I don't think he's supposed to do that.
00:21:35Mm-hmm.
00:21:46Yeah, yeah.
00:21:53Yep.
00:21:59You gotta chill out.
00:22:00I'm afraid of him.
00:22:02I'm afraid of him.
00:22:04I'm afraid of him.
00:22:06I'm afraid of him.
00:22:08I'm afraid of him.
00:22:10Okay.
00:22:12So he wants him to do it,
00:22:14but he wants him to wait.
00:22:16But I don't know if he is going to wait.
00:22:24Hmm?
00:22:30It's enough.
00:22:32Yes.
00:22:34Hello.
00:22:36Okay.
00:22:38We're wearing blue again.
00:22:42Okay.
00:22:50Okay.
00:22:52Okay.
00:22:54Okay.
00:22:58Okay.
00:23:08I was about to say,
00:23:10okay, just a joke about that,
00:23:12but please don't start
00:23:14pulling rank or like
00:23:16senior, junior into the joke
00:23:18because I think that's immediately going to go sour.
00:23:20But I think he's cool with it
00:23:22as long as that's not part of the joke.
00:23:24Okay.
00:23:32Hmm?
00:23:34Hmm?
00:23:37Hmm?
00:23:38Ok.
00:23:39Okay.
00:23:45Hmm?
00:23:46Ah-Shang is being independent.
00:23:53Mm.
00:23:56There's- it's not like I should be in any way surprised that at this moment he's still
00:24:14gonna go back to doing his Ghost Valley thing.
00:24:18I think it's gonna be a lot further to the end if he, like, renounces that or tries to
00:24:24get out of doing that.
00:24:25He's still doing his thing right now, but I don't know if he's going to change any plans
00:24:32or if he has different goals with, like, his scheming than, like, what he had before.
00:24:37I think that it takes a long time for him to, like, understand the way some of these actions
00:24:44affect people.
00:24:45Because I do think he's kind of, like, he's flipping back and forth between, like, when
00:24:50he's kind of in humanity brain and he has all this, like, empathy for people and, like, when
00:24:55he's feeling his feelings.
00:24:57And I think he's still flipping back and forth between that and just, like, the revenge brain.
00:25:02And I think it's kind of, like, the habit dies hard and he still is not fully able to, like,
00:25:09apply a new understanding to what he does with the Ghost stuff.
00:25:15And it's like, he's been doing it for a while, so it kind of, yeah, I think it's kind of, it's
00:25:21kind of an anchoring point.
00:25:23And it's also just kind of, like, I don't think he fully understands.
00:25:26I don't think he's yet at a point where he's able to, like, fully understand, like, it's
00:25:30not just about having Joseph's shoe in his life.
00:25:34It's also about, like, showing himself to be trustworthy towards him and, like, having
00:25:40a mutual relationship, you know?
00:25:42Not just about, like, keeping that person in my life and making sure they don't leave.
00:25:46It's like, do they have a mutually respectful relationship?
00:25:50And I think it's gonna take a lot more for him to understand that he maybe needs to drop
00:25:56the Ghost Valley evil scheming stuff, and I see him, he's wearing, like, blues and greens
00:26:02again, I think without the red eyeliner or anything.
00:26:06So with the color scheme stuff, it continues to be really interesting.
00:26:11Now I don't know how set in stone it is, but I am gonna be curious if at some point he changes
00:26:16into one of the outfits with, like, blue, especially dark blue and red.
00:26:21Like if he puts on, like, more red again, I feel like that'll be a point where he's, like,
00:26:25teetering more towards the extreme, but right now having him be in blue, that feels like
00:26:33a transitionary color for him and, like, his understanding of himself and everything that's
00:26:39going on.
00:26:55Does he feel responsible for protecting them?
00:26:56Hmm.
00:26:57Hmm.
00:26:58Hmm.
00:26:59Hmm.
00:27:00Hmm.
00:27:01Hmm.
00:27:02Hmm.
00:27:03Hmm.
00:27:04Hmm.
00:27:05Hmm.
00:27:06Hmm.
00:27:07Hmm.
00:27:08Hmm.
00:27:09Hmm.
00:27:10Maybe I spoke too soon.
00:27:12Maybe he's already becoming a lot more willing to kinda release them and not keep giving them
00:27:15instructions in this colour.
00:27:16Hmm.
00:27:17Hmm.
00:27:18Hmm.
00:27:19Hmm.
00:27:20Hmm.
00:27:21Hmm.
00:27:22Hmm.
00:27:23Hmm.
00:27:24Hmm.
00:27:25Hmm.
00:27:25Hmm.
00:27:25Hmm.
00:27:26Hmm.
00:27:26Hmm.
00:27:26Hmm.
00:27:27Hmm.
00:27:28Hmm.
00:27:31Hmm.
00:27:32Maybe I spoke too soon.
00:27:34Maybe he's already becoming a lot more willing to kind of release them and not keep giving them instructions and like let them do what they want to do.
00:27:43I imagine he still feels responsible for like protecting them, I guess, after this conversation, but I didn't expect that.
00:27:52He wants them. He wants them to leave the ghost valley.
00:28:22I think in a way that's part of him wanting to protect them. I think there's more, yeah, I think he's, he wants people to be able to leave the ghost valley.
00:28:51I don't know if, I imagine there's going to be consequences to that and there will be situations where they like need protection or something happens because as I'm sure he knows, I think he's been told maybe that a bunch of the ghosts are plotting against him and, you know, the ones working with Scorpion and all of that.
00:29:11But this is interesting. And I was saying all that stuff about the color blue, like there's no red in his outfit here, he doesn't have the red eyeliner.
00:29:19So maybe that does have something to do with like his, his mindset as far as like I command these people, I belong to the ghost valley.
00:29:28What makes it happen to you?
00:29:34Hmm...
00:29:36Hmm...
00:29:38Hmm...
00:29:40Hmm...
00:29:42Hmm...
00:29:42Hmm...
00:29:45Hmm...
00:29:50Hmm...
00:29:56Are they gonna have like a... like a hard-to-hard talk?
00:30:04Where did you get it from?
00:30:19What story is he gonna get?
00:30:25Ooh.
00:30:27Ooh.
00:30:29Ooh.
00:30:31Ooh.
00:30:33Ooh.
00:30:35Ooh.
00:30:37Ooh.
00:30:39Ooh.
00:30:41Ooh.
00:30:43Ooh.
00:30:47Ooh.
00:30:51Did he mention it? He mentioned it at one point.
00:30:53I think it was one Kuxing who mentioned it in Joseph's show is like,
00:30:57I know that one.
00:30:59And it was supposed to demonstrate something.
00:31:01So I was like, oh no, I don't get to hear it.
00:31:03So now we get to hear it.
00:31:05Oh.
00:31:07Ooh.
00:31:09So this is what happened after...
00:31:23No.
00:31:33Sorry.
00:31:34I'm getting ahead of myself.
00:31:36Okay.
00:31:37This is what happened.
00:31:38We already saw this part.
00:31:40So this is before they went to the Four Seasons.
00:31:44This is when his father got attacked because of the whole Rongxuan thing.
00:31:50Then he found his father's footrest.
00:31:53The wolf was still flying up,
00:31:55and he was slain to it,
00:31:56and he started to attack him.
00:31:58So this was the second thing.
00:32:00But the more terrible thing,
00:32:01he felt the most severe thickness of his footrest.
00:32:03He took a lot of strength,
00:32:04and now he found his footrest.
00:32:05He was just feeling a little bit.
00:32:07And when he was like,
00:32:08he found the footrest.
00:32:10He found the footrest.
00:32:12It was like,
00:32:13he took the footrest.
00:32:14He turned out his footrest.
00:32:15He turned out his footrest.
00:32:17I took some of the tea, and I kept it in my mouth, and I was in my heart and I was in my heart.
00:32:31Okay, so he didn't go further with that story into what happened after.
00:32:47I- wait. I gotta just- I gotta see that again. And I need to charge my phone. Some of these
00:32:54episodes- well, I don't know how to sum up the last few episodes. I guess there hasn't been quite
00:32:59as extreme emotional whiplash in this one, but I can't even say that about the last one. But I'm-
00:33:05I keep getting so much of the whiplash where it's like, oh, it's gonna be a cute, like, happy cute
00:33:12moment. And then it's just a really depressing, cute moment. You know, when he said, Joe Zishu
00:33:18said, I know the story about the desert. Did he mean that one? And is this like a commonly
00:33:23told story that when Kexing has just sort of adapted for his own means? Or did he or someone
00:33:30used to tell them that story?
00:33:32I can't deal with this.
00:33:38Okay, we're fightin'.
00:34:06I do love this, to be honest. I don't love this, but I- no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:34:20I was going to say I love the whole- the lady ghosts fighting back against, like, the ghost
00:34:26guys who are trying to leave and go against Wen Kexing, but every time this lustful ghost
00:34:32shows up, I'm just immediately- nope.
00:34:39I just want to see this guy die. Ugh. He has no redeeming characteristics.
00:34:51Oh, that's like a little model of the big- that's why there was a shot in the show where
00:35:04I was like, it looks like a shot in the opening. It's because they have, like, a small model
00:35:07tree of the big tree that they have in the ghost valley. That's cute. This is not cute.
00:35:22It's the first time I met your real face.
00:35:24Run!
00:35:25I don't have a king. I don't have a king.
00:35:29I don't have a king. I don't have a king.
00:35:32I don't have a king.
00:35:35I don't have a king.
00:35:37The king! Hurry up!
00:35:39Shoot.
00:35:40You know-
00:35:42Stop!
00:36:05I don't, maybe you're a king or a king.
00:36:06The king will make you do it!
00:36:07You're a king.
00:36:10I'd like to see him get cut up.
00:36:12You're a king.
00:36:13You're a king.
00:36:16You're a king.
00:36:17You're a fool.
00:36:19You're a fool.
00:36:20Oh-
00:36:22Jesus!
00:36:24Oh, oh-
00:36:25Oh-
00:36:27Someone stop him, please.
00:36:28Holy mo...
00:36:30Holy mo...
00:36:33Well they- maybe they'll punish this guy for being so reckless, even if- even if they
00:36:58don't care about what happens to the beauty ghost. Like, he might- I feel like he might get pissed
00:37:05off about this going on here, but I'm not really sure.
00:37:14Maybe not.
00:37:23Girl- what are you doing?
00:37:28Girl Oh, okay.
00:37:39Girl Oh!
00:37:53Girl Oh.
00:37:54Girl Oh.
00:37:58He is a master.
00:38:00The only thing I have to say is that he is a master.
00:38:03He is a master of his master.
00:38:05He is a master of his master.
00:38:10He is a master of his master.
00:38:13But he is already lost.
00:38:17He doesn't need to use.
00:38:19King龙, you're in where?
00:38:21King龙, you're in where?
00:38:23King龙, you're in where?
00:38:27What do you mean?
00:38:29Oh.
00:38:30Oh, that's right.
00:38:32I was sitting here this whole time, shipping him with Zhao Jing,
00:38:36completely forgetting about the thing that Zhao Jing had with her,
00:38:40and she like didn't remember, but now that she's out of it,
00:38:44she's like remembering him, and that's gonna piss him off.
00:38:50Oh, he just did it.
00:39:04Well, thank goodness someone finally killed that guy,
00:39:07for whatever reason that they had.
00:39:20Oh.
00:39:21Oh.
00:39:22Oh.
00:39:23Oh.
00:39:24Oh.
00:39:25No, if he kills her...
00:39:39But if he kills her then...
00:39:41Zhao Jing is not gonna forgive him.
00:39:44Oh.
00:39:45Oh.
00:39:46That's right.
00:39:47No.
00:39:48No.
00:39:59You'd rather come in and ask me once.
00:40:03Oh.
00:40:04Oh.
00:40:05I'm going to let you go.
00:40:07I'm going to let you go.
00:40:15Hold on.
00:40:17Hold on.
00:40:19Hold on.
00:40:21How did you get it?
00:40:27Why?
00:40:29Why?
00:40:31You put it.
00:40:33I'm going to let you go.
00:40:37Hm?
00:40:39I was just thinking that if Beauty Ghosts or the Tragic Comic Ghosts get hurt,
00:40:43then I'm pretty sure that we're going to see Wen Ka Xing like completely destroy the Scorpion King,
00:40:47which I do think I want to see, but at what cost?
00:40:51Hmm.
00:40:53Hmm.
00:40:55Don't let something bad happen to her.
00:40:57Please.
00:40:59Hey.
00:41:01Hey.
00:41:03Don't let something bad happen to her.
00:41:05Please.
00:41:07Hey.
00:41:09Hey.
00:41:15Hey.
00:41:17Hey.
00:41:19Hey.
00:41:20What happened to her?
00:41:22Please
00:41:50Yes
00:42:20But he didn't put his hand in his hand.
00:42:24So he's in the jungle.
00:42:28After he went to the鬼谷.
00:42:31And he said he was still in the jungle.
00:42:33He said he was still in the jungle.
00:42:37Oh.
00:42:38Gentlemen.
00:42:40I don't think you're bad.
00:42:43You're bad.
00:42:45It's not bad.
00:42:48I kept thinking for some reason that evil Bodhisattva was like going to reveal something about
00:42:58like her herself having a relation with that guy.
00:43:01And I was like please no.
00:43:03Huh?
00:43:04Plot twist.
00:43:05But okay.
00:43:06She's just taunting her with the same story that we know happened.
00:43:11Mmm.
00:43:16Hmm.
00:43:17Hmm.
00:43:18Hmm.
00:43:19Hmm.
00:43:20Hmm.
00:43:21Hmm.
00:43:22I think he really doesn't.
00:43:25want to let her master go.
00:43:32Hmm.
00:43:33Hmm.
00:43:34Hmm.
00:43:35Hmm.
00:43:36Hmm.
00:43:37Hmm.
00:43:38I think he really doesn't.
00:43:39Want to let her master go.
00:43:42Hmm.
00:43:43Hmm.
00:43:44Yeah.
00:43:45Hmm.
00:43:46I think he really doesn't.
00:43:47Want to let her master go.
00:43:49Assemblyman I just want you.
00:43:51Anywayיקら少.
00:43:54So, how did Beauty Ghost manage to not drink the soup of Oblivion, and how did Wen Ka-sing
00:44:22manage to not drink it?
00:44:25Oh, geez.
00:44:35Mmm.
00:44:37Okay, I think we might have a rescue mission coming out.
00:44:52This outfit is so cute right now.
00:44:59Aww.
00:45:01He's doing such a good job.
00:45:07How did he know me?
00:45:09He always kept me with me.
00:45:12Don't worry about him.
00:45:14You're a priest.
00:45:16You're a priest.
00:45:18He's a priest.
00:45:20He's a priest.
00:45:22He's a priest.
00:45:23He's a priest.
00:45:24He's a priest.
00:45:25He's a priest.
00:45:27He's a priest.
00:45:28I'm a priest.
00:45:29I'm a priest.
00:45:30I'm a priest.
00:45:31I'm a priest.
00:45:32Hey, Xiaoher.
00:45:34Hey?
00:45:35I'm a priest.
00:45:36I'm a priest.
00:45:37I'm a priest.
00:45:38What are those people?
00:45:39They're all in trouble?
00:45:40But, that's those are the soldiers of the First Lady.
00:45:44Two days ago, the First Lady was burned.
00:45:46I think they might get involved into this situation.
00:46:14They do have a leader.
00:46:28Oh.
00:46:41I wonder when she's gonna tell him.
00:46:44I think I said this already, but I'm saying it again.
00:46:50I wonder when we find out what, uh, Gu Xiang's crime was that led her to the Ghost Valley.
00:46:56Let alone, hello, what was Wen Qixing's crime that brought him there?
00:47:00Because I've been envisioning in my head some sort of situation where he was, like, forced to go there for some reason without necessarily having committed, like, a crime.
00:47:10But I'm, I, I really don't know, because I don't know yet at what age he actually ended up going there.
00:47:17I feel like it must have been when the village was attacked and he was a kid, but I'm not really sure.
00:47:23And the, if that, that's the healer village.
00:47:25And people from the healer village were getting banished, and I don't fully understand why.
00:47:31Was it because some of them used the book or the scroll that ended up doing bad things and they weren't supposed to use it?
00:47:37So it's like, oh, you committed a crime, so you're getting banished.
00:47:40Because if he was there around that time, and that some sort of forcible banishment was happening,
00:47:46I can imagine him getting, like, pulled in because of that.
00:47:50Then maybe that would explain why he didn't have to drink the soup to forget things.
00:47:55If he was pulled in, not because of a crime.
00:47:58I don't know how this works.
00:47:59I don't know the rules.
00:48:00I'm just a little...
00:48:20I don't know if he likes being called Bodhisattva, either.
00:48:26Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
00:48:38Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
00:48:50He's still a добр and parsley.
00:48:51The best way to keep his death for him.
00:48:54He's been to hell.
00:48:55He's still a dead man.
00:48:57If they're not dead, then he won't save the blood.
00:48:59He's killed, but he's killed.
00:49:01He's killed.
00:49:02He must have been killed by him.
00:49:05So...
00:49:07If anyone was alive, that will kill鬼谷之名 in order to break his breath.
00:49:11He's removed to the king's body.
00:49:14He's killed in their body.
00:49:15That当然 will be let him know that he's had for a peace.
00:49:18He's killed during the war.
00:49:20Well, he is right about that.
00:49:36Ah, okay, he's on to them.
00:49:37He's... he's making that... he's making the face again.
00:49:52Ugh, he's making the face again.
00:50:07He's making the face again.
00:50:08He's making the face again.
00:50:09He's making the face again.
00:50:10He's making the face again.
00:50:11We're not going to go to Sici-San-Zoom?
00:50:13We're going to take the face again.
00:50:14Let's go.
00:50:15Ah!
00:50:16Ah!
00:50:17Ah!
00:50:18Ah!
00:50:19Ah!
00:50:20Ah!
00:50:21Ah!
00:50:26Ah!
00:50:27That was weird for... well, okay, he just stopped there.
00:50:31I'm sure he sees them and everything for a second, it seemed like he wasn't recognizing them.
00:50:37But I... I can't wait to get, like, Gu Xiang reuniting with him.
00:50:42I was just saying, like, it's really gonna take a lot longer for Wen Ka Xing to...
00:50:48Like, he's clearly capable of empathy for people in different situations,
00:50:55and I think it's gonna take a lot longer for him to, like, fully apply that to, like,
00:51:00oh, innocent people, people dying matters, all of that good stuff.
00:51:06Yeah, and I think Joe's issue is just trying to be really patient as he's been.
00:51:11But when... when Wen Ka Xing is kind of, like, saying all this stuff and kind of stalling,
00:51:16he's like, let's cut to the heart of the matter.
00:51:18He doesn't really want to let him joke as much as he did before.
00:51:22I think that makes sense.
00:51:24Yeah, it feels like this show isn't gonna really let us have a totally peaceful moment for a while.
00:51:32It's just gonna be like, okay, things are good and we kind of accept each other,
00:51:38but also it's really, really tense.
00:51:41I don't really have any predictions right now.
00:51:44I mean, except, okay, there's gonna be a showdown with our guys and the Scorpions
00:51:50because they're leading a lot of this stuff.
00:51:54Working with some of the ghosts and working with the government.
00:51:58I think they were... yeah, they were the assassins in this situation,
00:52:01and I think Joe's issue knows that or is pretty sure of that.
00:52:05But other than that, I don't really know, gosh, how so much, like, emotional stuff is going to go down.
00:52:12And it... the way things have been going, it really feels like we don't get, like...
00:52:16Like, you get a really sweet moment, but things are really still tense,
00:52:21and I don't think we're... it feels like... it feels like, as the viewer,
00:52:25I'm not really going to be at a, like, a breathing room point of the show
00:52:30until it's, like, close to the end.
00:52:32But I don't know if that's a breathing point either.
00:52:35As much as... like, I think certain developments and certain things
00:52:39happened earlier than I expected,
00:52:42but that... I gotta make sure that doesn't lead me into thinking that, like,
00:52:46all the Wen Ka-Sing character development is just gonna go poof
00:52:50and just happen, and he's gonna be, like, totally empathetic
00:52:54and totally let go of his stuff.
00:52:57Uh... I think he's got a lot more hangups to work through.
00:53:01I think the moments in... was it episode 20?
00:53:05With all the hugging and the stuff with Master Long
00:53:09and, like, how Zhou Zishu, like, presented Wen Ka-Sing,
00:53:13and that was all very, like, Grandpa, this is my husband,
00:53:17and he's very special.
00:53:19And it's, like, you have this, like, deeply core, rocking, insanely sweet moment.
00:53:25And then Wen Ka-Sing is still gonna go right back into, like, saying these horrible things
00:53:31and not considering innocent people.
00:53:34Because he's been in that headspace for so long,
00:53:37and the trauma situation is so big, and it's not just, like...
00:53:43it's not just one thing, you know, because so many things happened to him.
00:53:47And now we know, like, one of them,
00:53:50but we don't yet know what all happened with the village when he went back.
00:53:54And I think that's gonna be a big key.
00:53:56But that's the thing, like, we don't...
00:53:58I think that's very... that's smart and that's realistic.
00:54:01It's just also painful.
00:54:03Like, we're not just gonna get a big episode where he comes clean about everything
00:54:09and reveals more of what happened and he fully understands everything now.
00:54:15I don't think we're gonna get that for anything.
00:54:18It's gonna make us, like, just pull us along for the process.
00:54:24Like, it's almost like watching this show...
00:54:27It's like going to therapy for, like, a really big issue.
00:54:31You're not just gonna have, like, a big epic discussion
00:54:34where you spill your guts and come to a bunch of epiphanies
00:54:39and everything is better now.
00:54:41You're gonna, like, take a step forward and ten steps back
00:54:45and five steps forward in this one moment,
00:54:48and it's just gonna keep happening.
00:54:49But I'm gonna keep paying attention to the colors that they have him in
00:54:53because I think while things are tense and we'll see him, like, be really empathetic
00:54:59and then have this, like, regression,
00:55:01I think we are seeing the long-term slow progress steps forward in his clothing, I think.
00:55:09I think that is, like, a key thing, and it's really interesting.
00:55:13But it feels so hard to come to a stopping point here.
00:55:16But I could say, oh, let me watch the next episode,
00:55:19and the next episode could have just as...
00:55:22It's not a devastating ending.
00:55:23It's not ending on a horrible argument.
00:55:25And it's ending in probably a good place
00:55:27because we're happy to have them all reunited again.
00:55:31But it's not like, yay, I feel good about everything right now.
00:55:35It's like, yeah, we're just...
00:55:37We're in this, like, really tense environment right now.
00:55:40And it's all just, like, working through Glenn Cushing's stuff.
00:55:45And I feel like...
00:55:46I feel like there's definitely stuff that Joe Zushu needs to come clean about
00:55:53and or work through himself.
00:55:55Like, I think the stuff that he needs to work through is different.
00:55:59It's not on the magnitude of, like, I'm, like, kind of low-key Satan.
00:56:03But I think we can't let him off the hook entirely, if that makes sense.
00:56:09I think that would be a little unfair.
00:56:11I think he's obviously the more mature person,
00:56:14and there's so many things he does that I've pointed out already
00:56:18that I'm like, wow, like, he's shown so much patience and mercy,
00:56:22and he usually seems to know how to approach things and when to back off.
00:56:28But I think maybe... I think there will be things about the way that he...
00:56:34The way that he approaches his understanding of what he did as an assassin,
00:56:40and how he, like, talks about it, and how he thinks about...
00:56:44Like, I'm not sure...
00:56:46I'm saying this and then I'm like, well, nothing he's done or said seems, like, that negative.
00:56:51Like, it doesn't seem that bad when you compare it to what Glenn Cushing, like, needs to do.
00:56:56But I don't... I don't want to let him off the hook,
00:56:59because I feel like maybe there's something that we're not thinking about
00:57:03that he still really needs to work through,
00:57:06and I just feel bad putting it all on Wen Cushing.
00:57:10Does that make sense?
00:57:11I feel... I don't feel like I'm pulling this out of a hat.
00:57:15I mean, if you were to, like, sit down and look at the plot and be like,
00:57:19it's all on Wen Cushing, he's the one with all the stuff that needs to be worked on,
00:57:25and he's the one who needs to do the self-improvement, and no one else does.
00:57:30If you just look at the plot line by line, I would say, yeah, that totally makes sense.
00:57:36But in the actual narrative character dynamic, blah, blah, blah,
00:57:41I think there will be a more... at least a slightly more even shouldering of those burdens.
00:57:49And I think maybe certain hang-ups that Joe Zishu has will come up and be more clarified later on, maybe.
00:57:58But all of that aside, I'm gonna say right now that I do think that he thinks Wen Cushing is a Ghost Valley guy, I think?
00:58:09Because if he doesn't think that, I don't really know what he thinks about what he's up to.
00:58:13I think he... he's very smart and very perceptive, and sometimes he doesn't show all his cards,
00:58:19so I don't think he's shown all his cards to us.
00:58:21But I can't imagine what he thinks about, like, why is he doing what he's doing if it's not a Ghost Valley thing?
00:58:29Yeah.
00:58:30I think for Joe Zishu, he has a lot of things that he suspects, or he might even know.
00:58:36He might just know certain things that we don't yet know that he knows.
00:58:41But because his approach is like, I'm not gonna push things, and I'm not gonna ask,
00:58:46and I'm gonna invite Wen Cushing to, you know, say it first.
00:58:51I think that's why he's not showing all his cards, and it's gonna take longer to, like, come out.
00:58:58And I-I feel so nervous about, like, the whole thing where they're like,
00:59:01oh, we're returning to Four Seasons Manor.
00:59:05I don't know what.
00:59:06I do think there's something about it, about Four Seasons, that Joe Zishu is, like, clinging to,
00:59:12that is creating a rift just because of, like, all of the Wen Cushing trauma.
00:59:17But I don't know what that is exactly.
00:59:20I don't know if something is gonna turn out to have been unsavory about Four Seasons in particular.
00:59:27Because we kind of know, like, well, Window of Heaven is unsavory,
00:59:31because it's just about Prince Jean, like, wanting power.
00:59:34And-and maybe that will be explored in terms of, like, Joe Zishu's evolution.
00:59:40I don't know.
00:59:42I should stop trying to predict things in this show, because I don't think I can.
00:59:45I'm hoping for, like, a sweet, balmy episode that can just be happy for a while.
00:59:51But I really don't know if we're gonna get, like, many of those in the-in this-in this era, in this moment.
00:59:58With this batch of episodes, I don't-I don't think we're getting that.
01:00:02I hope I'm wrong.
01:00:03And with that, I guess that's all I've gotta say.
01:00:06So, eSoup, signing out.
