Legend of Yun Qian Episode 9

History of Hurts and Sympathetic Danger

I still like Hong Yan, and I feel for her, even more so as they show more of the parallels to Muyun and Xiao Qian with her and Xuan Yu - and her struggles with the others in the past. She may be trying to steal the fan to use them both together, but one can't really fault her reasons . . . and her memories of making a deal with the sect only to have them go back on it, deciding she was too violent and trying to kill her instead? And then to return only to find that Xuan Yu was already gone. . . (Granted she is dangerous and unbalanced and she may be a little crazy, but I do still feel for her.) Also her continual 'teasing' of Muyun about her being weak/not training hard is a nice new dynamic. (I note Muyun just . . . casually told XIao Qian 'now I know who she is' and what she knows, without pausing over the whole 'I told you she was an old friend' issue. I'm glad she didn't hide it but I do wonder if Xiao Qian had any . . . reaction to that.)
