Noble Aspirations Episode 3

ep 3 review spoilers ahead

1.So this prince looking guy was Jing Yu--how come he looks like a prince and Xiao Fan looks...so not like a prince? Interesting....(I hate it when they think knowledge corrupts people...essentially this sect is forbidden from entering this shop because some of the books are about sex. Come on people. Anyways, the brother who lured Xiao Fan in is supposed to take the blame while Jing Yu & Xiao Fan catch up)

2.It seems this incident is a big deal. Ling er was the one who talked him into leaving the mountain but it seems Tian forbade Xiao Fan from leaving the mountain without his permission. On the other hand Jing Yu, who is head of the Discipline Committee, is lectured for offending powerful people in addition to not carrying justice out fairly (he let Xiao Fan off)

3.Xiao Fan is even humiliated in front of his sect brothers because he cannot even use magic yet and Tian states it is causing him to lose face. However his buddies jump in and say that he is a very good cook

4.For reasons unknown, Xiao Fan has a buddy in the woods, an old guy whom he takes care of, and talks to about his personal problems (he seems shady). I also think it is sad that Xiao Fan does not realize that he might make Ling Er fall for him if he continues to protect her...on their way back they are attacked by the hooded man again...

5.Sect leader (silver hair guy) arrives and we see another battle scene. Both Tian and sect leader suspect something will happen soon....Xiao Fan devotes himself to learning (it is quite funny disembodied heads of everyone talk at him...)\

6.While chasing a money (yes, a monkey) for his training Ling Er and Xiao Fan wind up at a shadowy death lake. The money turns dust, she passes out, a weird weapon rises out of the water and seems to go to Xiao Fan (this has something to do with that blood pearl)....

7.This event with Xiao Fan has triggered the Lie Xing Sect (creator of the pearl) and they want it back!

8.Xiao Fan gains a money pet (such bad CGI) apparently it has a third eye that will open when he is an adult, allowing him to see for 1000 miles, and know 5 elements of magic

9.The episode ends with Ling Er in the woods, shocked as hundreds of black birds fly and turn to ash....
