The next day, when Bo Yu who has been lonely for two years, becomes popular again, he begins unconsciously releasing his hormones. The charm of the mature man is greatly enhanced, which attracting the attention of the women around him.

Lulu, a young makeup artist, pats her good friend and whispers, “Why does he become so... so coquettish that we haven’t seen for a day?”

“He’s obviously sexy, okay? Don’t insult my idol!” The young girl is dissatisfied, who looks at Bo Yu’s back from afar with the adoring eyes.

Lulu curls her lip and thinks that she is really boring. Bo Yu is just a handsome star. She seems to be crazy about him all day as if she has never seen a man in eight hundred years, for fear that others don’t know she likes him.

Besides, Bo Yu isn’t very handsome. I really don’t understand why she is crazy about him.

The charming man with the male hormone hasn’t found that young girls’ eyes in the crew brighten when looking at him.

Bo Yu, who has good luck in adventures with bad women, slowly walks up to Director Hou and says, “Director Hou, what scenes are you going to film today?”

Director Hou circles around Bo Yu two times without answering him and makes fun of him, “It is pretty good to be handsome. Look at you! When you change the new clothes, you look like a new person.”

Bo Yu giggles.

Now he is wearing the beautiful and elegant antique red gown that the young general wears in the later period with theeffeminate style makeup, which is quite in line with the young girl’s aesthetics nowadays. But he can’t appreciate himself with heavy makeup.

Mo Anyu stands in the distance, and the unhappiness on the face is covered with the covering on the head. So, no one found that Mo Anyu’s facial expression is somewhat wrong.

Bo Yu has sharp eyes and finds Mo Anyu not far away. He hesitates for a moment before he takes the script to Mo Anyu and says, “We rehearse our scenes right now?”

Mo Anyu is silent for a moment and says hoarsely, “No. I have a sore throat.”

Bo Yu doubts, “Did you catch a cold last night?”

Mo Anyu’s voice is hoarse, so Bo Yu doesn’t suspect him.

Mo Anyu neither nods nor shakes his head. When he sees the general affairs staff running towards him, he moves and says, “Go acting. The last scene. Film the scene in one take.

Bo Yu likes Mo Anyu, probably because of Mo Anyu’s initial kindness to himself and the time spend together. So, he wants to make friends with Mo Anyu.

Therefore, Bo Yu offers an invitation, “May I invite you to have a meal with me after wrapping up?”

Mo Anyu’s hurried steps pause. He has complicated facial expression, but is still reluctant to refuse that good opportunity and says, “Okay.”

Bo Yu feels reassuring, walks with him side by side, pats his shoulder and says, “Thank you.”

Mo Anyu lowers his eyes.

The hierarch covers his injured shoulder and holds the sword at Gu Chengjing who is once trusted by him the most, but hurts him the most now, “Why do you betray me?”

Gu Chengjing, whose hands are stained with countless blood, loses the naivety when he is protected by his two brothers. Instead, there is unspeakable cruelty and indifference of him.

“I tell you that I will take revenge on you one day at the first time I meet you!” Gu Chengjing looks at him without feelings in his eyes.

“You know that?” With a sigh, the hierarch drops his sword on the ground. There is decadence and loss in his eyes.

“You risk saving me from a powerful army. You teach me everything, and you give me everything. I regard you as my only kinsfolk in the world.”

“But it is you who help the shit emperor to exterminate my entire family and kill 239 people of Gu’s family! It’s because of you!”

The hierarch looks at Gu Chengjing who is taught by him at the young age. He is silent for a moment. He looks down, hides all regrets and unwillingness, stretches out his hands and says, “I’m sorry. I’m willing to take my life to compensate you for all your family’s...!”

“I don’t want that!” Gu Chengjing shouts angrily, being filled with malice, “Your life is too dirty. I don’t want that!”

The elder on the right side waits for a chance to cause trouble. He slaps Gu Chengjing before he reacts in time, and the palm wind sweeps relentlessly toward the hierarch standing on the edge of the cliff.

However, before his enemy plunges off cliff, the elder on the right side’s the most important vein is hit by the palm wind the next second, and he plunges off cliff.

The hierarch crazily rushes to the edge of the cliff.

At the critical moment, Gu Chengjing, who rushes forward alone to bear the palm of the elder on the right side, drops half of his body outside the cliff. He is so seriously injured that can’t withstand the palm of the elder on the right side at all.

Gu Chengjing looks up at the hierarch, saying indifferently,

“You saved me before, so I won’t kill you.”

“Li Feng, Gu Chengjing shouldn’t live in the world. There is no relationship between you and Gu’s family.”

Li Feng tightens his pale lips, stretching out his hands to Gu Chengjing and says, “Give me your hand. Be obedient!”

The next second, however, the blood spills from the corners of the mouth, and the mydriasis occurs. He is destroyed psychologically because of the anger.

Both the young general in the past and Gu Chengjing right now give up living and fall down like a kite with broken strings.

Three years later, the gray-haired Li Feng disappears in the world. Nobody including the devil group knows his whereabouts.

“I come to see you,” says Li Feng, standing at the edge of the cliff with a pot of wine in his hand.

The cold wind blows, and there is only echo of Li Feng’s voice on the cliffside.

“I will enjoy the beautiful scenery in the world that you haven’t seen for you. I’ll walk on the road that you haven’t walked for you. I’ll experience what you haven’t experienced for you.”

Li Feng drinks up the wine.

“I just hope that you will still be my brother after my death.”

After saying that, the hierarch, who has seen much of the changes in human life, takes a deep look behind him and turns away, leaving only a lonely figure.

When the ending song sounds, these pictures play back. The young general says firmly and sadly, “I want to revenge!” And the high-spirited and vigorous hierarch giggles.

“Cut!” Director Hou shouts with a trumpet in his hand, feeling satisfied.

The staff next to him discuss the lamentable plot in a low voice with red-rimmed eyes.

It is hard for them to accept the reversal ending because the previous part is filled with happiness but the ending is lamentable.
