Noble Aspirations Episode 22

ep 22 spoilers ahead

1.Elderheart's spirit appears and announces he is going to get revenge for all those years ago. It seems like he is trying to prevent Xiao Fan from becoming a victim. But the end result is the beast god is released. Grandpa Wei (shu Shu's grandpa) tries to stop him and is turned to stone....

2.ghost princess is unconscious; Mr. ghost takes her away during the chaos. Cliff master takes everyone else away...

--This can't be good--

3.The beat god reveals that although his body is temporary he plans on killing every single human....

4.Shu Shu is upset (obviously)

5.The city guard guy escaped. We learn that he has been poisoned by teacher's poison and if he does not take the antidote he will be eaten alive by bugs (how long has he been poisoned?)

6.Back to the ghost tribe: they are discussing the fiasco of resurrecting the beast god. it did not go as they wanted...it seems that lingering regret from elder blackheart has derailed their plans. Part of the god was left alive, to be reborn in a certain someone's body...yup, Xiao Fan. I think that is what the beast god meant when he said his body was 'temporary'

7.Mr. Ghost believes that Xiao Fan has an attachment to ghost princess and suggests using that to bring him into their sect 0_0 They are also seeking the Heavenly Scroll (it is split in two) they think they know where one is, the other is not very clear

8.After reflecting on the events that happened to him involving the blood pearl Xiao Fan has a conversation with Xue Qi about Shu Shu. In short, they feel bad for him. The topic changes to the ghost tribe. While upset, Xiao Fan hesitates to name Bi Yao responsible but Xue Qi does not hesitate (I almost envy her ability to always no right from wrong.)

9.Xue Qi continues to condemn the ghost sect but Xiao Fan is much more open minded, insisting that good and evil are human creations and that in the beginning there was no such thing (basically saying it is just a word invented by powerful people trying to control others...or to label things you fear, right?) Xiao Fan thinks good and evil can co-exist (like yin and yang)....Xue Qi doesn't seem to think so. She says she will kill him if he turns evil.

10.In spite of her friendship with Grandpa Wei, Jing Er (embroidery lady) is being denied. She is also being blamed for all the bad things in the world just because she comes from an 'evil sect' She is about to be banned (that is a bit outrageous! feels like McCarthyism!)(in case readers don't know, McCarthy was a cold war era senator in the u.s. who persecuted anybody who he thought was a communist, often in violation of their rights)

11.Fortunately Shu Shu assumes role of City Chief and stands up for her. It also seems implied that Yue and Madame jing have some...sparks?

12.Back at the 'noble' sect the lords are all discussing the news. Ghost lord only has 1 of the 5 heavenly scrolls so the one he has is pretty useless. Sect leader starts giving out assignments: Yi Cai will support Shu Shu and gather intel (basically its to gather intel),

13.The person with the antidote for city guard...is Bi Yao's friend in the ghost sect?

14.Is Lord Dog going to hook up with Xia Hua (I think shu'shu's cousin?) Xiao Fan continues to show an open mind, infuriating Shu Shu. Xiao and Yue are supposed to investigate the scrolls?
