Time Travel — Episode 6

You, of all people. No background, no achievements, dare to compare yourself to sages?

Tell me, this "all men are equal" talk, are you trying to stand with the sages? You—

a penniless wretch who can't even afford meat, how dare you claim equality with me? He's right.

Equality comes in two kinds: inner character, and outer standing. Character is what makes us human—

morality, integrity, conduct, conscience. You have it. He has it. Everyone does. On this level,

sages and beggars are equal, generals and stable boys are equal. Then there's standing. And standing is birth,

is rank, is office, is wealth. It's whether you were born well.

It's whether you passed the exams. It's whether your ancestors fought alongside the founding emperor to win the realm.

Born a lord or general? That's high standing, not necessarily high character. Master Qian,

you're from a great clan, a Donglin scion. But that doesn't mean your character outranks mine. Your deeds—

bullying classmates in the academy— does your character match your standing? Who's this clueless oaf

daring to defy me? Miss Yuan, what are you doing here? Your father's gone mad looking for you.

All of Liaodong's been turned upside down. So she ran off to Guangning. You know him?

I do. His father heads the Donglin Party. Assistant Minister Libu, worth a fortune. Oh.

So he's Shui Tailiang's son. Kid, what's your name? What's your background?

Me? I've got a huge background. Being with Miss Yuan, my status must be top-tier.

And you are? I'm the imperial Centurion Wang Degui. You scoundrel!

You dared mock me! A lousy border soldier acting tough in front of me? Jiao'er,

this is none of your business. A lousy border soldier acting tough? If I say the word, forget Shui Tailiang,

even Stallone, I'll beat into a wimp. You punk! How dare you hit me! Do you know who my father is?

Cripple him! Brother Lin, watch out! You scum! You bumpkin!

You, you, you, you! Do you know who I am? Who are you? Good if you don't.

Uncle, let's go! Qingweixuan. Qingweilun.
