YeTan gets her friend beast king to cause a disruption to save her sis from marriage. He is in love with YeTan so more than happy to get things cancelled. Things go awry and third Prince overhears she pretended to be QingKui. He succeeds where beast king did not and swaps the brides. YeTan is far from happy because she wants to be great demoness and looks forward to causing her father grief. QingKui is distressed but patiently waits for sis to rescue her. Third prince feels a bit guilty so he’s trying to make her more at ease in the void. In celestial realm YeTan is a bit overwhelmed. She sees the demons by gate and asks about them. Prince and friend a bit suspicious of her questions so she zips her lips and continues. They get to a chasm where the lucky couple crosses a bridge. The bridge will only form if they are a destined pair. YeTan is fighting tooth and nail to not have to cross. She sees herself plunging to her death for her deception. Shockingly the bridge blesses their union and she finds herself on other side. She is surrounded by well wishers and gifts so she chatters away with them. She is not at all what was expected but everybody going with the flow of things. She is removing attention from the Prince who still hates physical contact. While her behavior is seen as poor she’s actually doing him a big favor. When she sees the place designed for her sister she sees how much they valued her. She is still not sure what she’s going to do but she wants to sell her gifts to have cash to head to the void. She still has no clue the third Prince was who she and heavenly Prince fought with, and he doesn’t want her anywhere close to the realm to reveal his assassination attempt on older brother. He still hopes to find means to get brothers out of the way so he can rule. The chaos flower girls are definitely changing up both realms😄

In a battle with immortals chaos was imprisoned in Guixu. A tree had roots deep enough to thrive in chaos and produced flowers that equally accepted purity and impurity. The immortals were determined to destroy it because it was a key to Guixu and chaos had to stay buried or would again try to destroy everything. The essence of the flower drifted to the human world after thousands of years and bloomed over an Empress giving birth to twins. Which meant for the girls that one had all the suspicious circumstances and the other was considered cursed. The cursed one was shunned by everybody in the kingdom except her sister who dearly loved her and shared everything with her. This let the one shunned have a bit of happiness and tho very outspoken and fiery tempered, she dearly loved her sister in return. It was decided for them that one would marry to the heavenly immortals and the other the prince of demons. The heavenly immortal prince had lived a life of serious training to guard the tree and had very little connection with other people. He did have a best friend like the shunned princess that could change forms and liked them in spite of their social missteps. The prince was tested the second he arrived home after a 1500 year absence. He passed that test but had no idea how to communicate tactfully and did not like physical contact because all his memories and feelings had been locked up for centuries. On the eve before their betrothals the good sis gets the bad sis out of jail so they can enjoy their last night together. The bad sis learns that when her sis. Marries she will basically live a life alone while her husband takes care of heavenly duties. To his merit, the heavenly prince also recognized this as something that should not occur for that very reason but both fathers determined to have the marriage for the alliance to be made. In a demon town the heavenly prince was checking with embedded informers in the status of the demon army. While there he bumps into the bad princess that is looking to hire kidnappers. Ironically she wants to kidnap him 😂 She pretends to be her sister so that he will be happy to annul the marriage. He would be more than happy to comply but circumstances aren’t allowing it. We also run into the demon prince who is supposed to marry the bad sis. He wants to assassinate the competition so that he can finally reign as he wants without faking the philandering persona he’s been using to hide his ambition. His assassination attempt is thwarted by the one that is actually supposed to be his bride.😝 she only had eyes on the older brother so didn’t realize who he was but did note that the prince she did not want for her sis easily kicked this guy’s butt and she hates to admit she finds it impressive….now to see how battle ends

Interesting form of waterboarding. Not familiar with this execution technique. Gao did well with the knockout potion in food. Hai’s grin at eating meal said he knew something up. I am not sure how things will go for those left behind but I am glad Mr 8 helped AnTu. Gao sneaky with all his money saving. But bittersweet that he knew what BingWen planned and still drank the tea. 😭 I wish he could have made it back to town because BingWen got message to new Queen. I think he left off the part where he was going there to make non dead army😝 New Queen will deserve whatever she has coming. She has already managed a groom for AnTu and they’ve not been there a day. Hai is locked up in sky prison with no help in sight. New Queen wants him gone. BingWen is on the way and AnTu being married off to neighboring realm. I do wish mom was alive so I could see her response to eldest daughter. Something happened for AnTu to be left in Yong ten years basically forgotten so not sure what deal was made. Maybe whatever arrangement she had with Cao. Who knew that as a child he was the nice one of the three.😝 There will be no Mr Gao or Queen to rescue them this time. They are going to have to figure out things on their own. Losing the element of surprise thanks to BingWen is really working against them. The cast has done an excellent job bringing out the various emotions to draw in audience. These last couple episodes have you traveling with Hai and feeling his journey along with him. Can’t wait to see BingWen get slammed with penalty for using seal. Hope munchkin Queen gets to enjoy that along with him😝 These two deserve each other.

Wow…did not see the three musketeers of power born in Yong school. Cao and Marquis did a good job masking their friendship. BingWen had power bug early…the ability to coldly kill at very young age. Cao took the hit to become eunuch. They made themselves the power force behind the empire and were pretty damn good at it. BingWen has made all our crew wanted and has done something to Emperor. Now he possesses fish and seal and plans to create an undead army out of Dongxia. He obviously doesn’t know or care about whatever repercussions the seal exacts from user. He is still under the assumption that the cost is to the little guy. How could he be so close to the pulse of the empire and so unaware the Emperor had it? Xiao Zhan gets acting award for that glare as BingWen leaves his cell. The road of hate has been paved now. LuFen did his last lie for the cause and then killed. And now Mr 8 is going to be let in on the secret about her dad. There is no way to know which way that fall. BingWen heads for the world rather than just kingdom. Stopping him is going to be difficult, but his bridges with buddies has been permanently burned. Gao is too friendly with him. Is it a cover or is he walking the tightrope to really keep Hai safe? BingWen said he was trying to protect Hai too😝 Maybe that was just until he could be made fall guy for emperor. AnTu’s hands are tied and she doesn’t have the same clout but she always finds a way to be his best defense so hoping she comes up with something.

Mr 8 confirmed painting was her father’s and he gave her a cover story. His eyes went to the boxes above that, so what is he still hiding? AnTu and Hai still determine who is third enemy and not ruling out Gao. There is a mystery about him that he is not telling. How that intertwines with current events is still to be determined. Hai has gone to the source and learned Lu Min is BingWen. So is this really his third enemy even tho things pointing this direction? Having the personnel list written by YiPing an excellent find. Was this due to his machinations with colleague or is a mentor still pulling strings from behind? Is BingWen protecting or spying on daughter? Giving her so much freedom to immediately change the rules is not going to sit well with her. So is he trying to get info via AnTu thru his daughter? There are still too many questions. Is BingWen like LuFen who is capable of great good and evil? Hai accepts the new course he has chosen but where does that lead? All waters around mentors is murky. Glad he and AnTu a united front. I hope he keeps antidotes available and AnTu makes him practice with crossbow😝Something is off with both mentors as intrigues continue.

The intrigues continue. BingWen gets ZangHai an audience with Shi YiPing and the games begin. This one is cagey and heads for getting the sword of justice from Zang Hai. Here he reminds me very much of the Marquis. That part is thwarted and Zang Hai manages a secret audience with a gift of two rare paintings. Right when things get interesting, he drops dead from poisoning. LuYan is quite the assassin. She was really wanting to get both of them. The fight scene was very well choreographed and she and AnTu finished things up nicely. She started talking and we find out that Shi YiPing was responsible for poisoning the surveillance group and getting the seal and fish from Cao. Lu Yan was definitely not in agreement with the plan. She only revealed that she wanted to kill Zang Hai much earlier and she hated him for getting her master killed. Right when authorities showed up she slit her own throat to join the rest of her fallen comrades and master. That cockroach Cao is still not done Lu Fen still out there. Amd we don’t know if any other secret Lu’s in the mix. 😝 I’m with Zang Hai that that went far too smoothly. He left the seal with the Emperor but kept the fish. The seal still does not look the same as episode one. There is still some things going on that have yet to be revealed. The picture of Dongxia was a clue and gives a specific mountain location. Zang Hai is planning on resigning and BenWin is offered YiPing’s job. He was not particularly wanting it, but agreed to be interim head of court til proper replacement found. Gao is acting off. Is he really going to be third enemy? Waiting to see what Zang Hai and AnTu have planned. Will master and student really have a head to head battle over the fish? Or is emperor still pulling some strings? He does not know about fish specifically but I think he is well aware that the seal does not work as it currently is. Was a clue given when he wanted to visit original master and was Gao says wonder if he is still even there? The puzzles keep spinning but the locks are being let loose one by one. How many locks are there? Cause it seems kinda endless.

The friendship between Emperor and Kuai Duo spares Zang Hai his life for now. It is curious why this son was chosen when middle son seemed best choice for Emperor. There is a story there. We get to see more of what happened. Duo was questioned quite thoroughly about travel route and who knew what and when. Emperor almost has Cao crazed look about seal. It also has different appearance. In the cavern the seal had three fish on the side and eerie green glow which is why I originally thought he found something carved from jade. Duo made no mention of fish and said he had no clue how to make seal work. He also gently reminded Emperor how powerful he was without it. As the Emperor talks he points out how aware Duo was of his weaknesses. He wants to move Duo from a job he loves and is good at to a more political job that would put him under Emperor’s thumb. Duo politely refuses and asks to settle with his family in family homestead and the emperor agrees without further persuasion. This also feels a bit off. Duo and Emperor had similar abilities with wood and most likely also with puzzles. So it is quite likely the emperor was aware that Duo was lying about seal and how to make it work. I can’t shake the notion that the emperor called for his death and wanted proof. This is where Marquis steps up with his plan for trophies. What happened for this to make him calm minded rather than horrified? If the emperor didn’t command this third person did and was close enough to emperor to be obeyed. So all of this is twisted together. I think once Duo handed the seal over his fate was also sealed. I do not know if emperor had anything to do with the collateral damage. That seems more like a Cao /Marquis way to handle things. The last childhood scene of emperor and Duo showed him having to leave his common friend and bond for royal duties. So he was already equipped for that separation. And Duo was also aware which is why he could give the Emperor a non working seal. Even friends could hold secrets against each other when beliefs and goals differed.

I was not sure why Zang Hai would be moving the pieces without a fake already to replace. The queen did provide sketches of what it looked like before the festival. A Lu exists that is not completely crazy. He shows that Cao could have run things correctly, but chose to not. He confirmed that Zang Hai’s appearance had been significantly altered from familial features. I understand the rush to the Queen but dammit Cao should have left dead.😝 I am thinking there is a slight chance that he had already made a fake seal and swapped before caught by Lu Fen. This would have been a good way to get Cao to reveal third party but still not power of seal. Zang Hai did shield AnTu which I think the right thing to do since he had no real fighting skills. The Queen had a significantly better chance of killing Cao and getting the seal. Saving ZangHai shows her great love of daughter and her love for Kuai Duo. I want to know what Cao told her about Kuai Duo. There was something she didn’t know and I think key to fish distribution. He has more lives than cat. 😝This old viper needs to have head chopped off and his surveillance group sent to border. The Queen’s death is sloppily covered with no mention of Cao or Zang Hai getting called out. The battle scenes were well done and ZangHai’s timely interference believable and somewhat humerous. I did like AnTu’s whip trick of taking out psycho Lu with his own sword. The crack from Lu Fen about bureau being run as Zang Hai wanted was quite the irony.😝 Cao is like mafia boss that had one son run a legitimate business. I am really annoyed he is still alive, but I am hoping he reveals third fish holder and has a fake seal. Then after that sets in I want AnTu to finish him by her choice of weapons. The Lu’s need dispatched to border or dead. They are too loyal to Cao. Curious how Zang Hai is going to resolve things. I rewatched first episode to see events better and to remember why Marquis deserved to die. For the third fish, is it possible this was a deliberate misdirect from the Marquis as a last middle finger to Queen and Cao? When this was decided, he had no reason to think either of his sons would amount to much. Neither of them was promising so did he really have to tell them the truth of things? And even tho ZhiXing has shown great promise, if he misdirects Queen and Cao to fight over fish for seal, how was that not to his benefit? There is shadiness with the astronomer but for a better good. His wife knew of some of it because she supported him in death rather than cursing him the loss of their child. There is some bigger picture not given yet. The Marquis was a key. But I don’t think either son was included. Considering the deeds of his wife and his willingness to toss and kill children, this should not be surprising. It is unfortunate we do not know who held his backup plan against Cao. I think there is key information there that might stay buried. There is still much to unravel and to see where the author takes us next.

This episode….I did not like that the writer is hinting at giving ZhiXing a twisted bitter life of hate. He did not leave the city that way and while he was disappointed in no friendship from Zang Hai….i think he managed it anyway. Zang Hai cared about his fate and sent comrades with him so for it to hint at future revenge just keeps a bad trail continuing. His goal is to remake the Zhuang name, not follow the course of his father. It is left unclear if the Marquis lied to ZhiXing or if ZhiXing lied to Zang Hai. It is unclear if this was a final test for son’s loyalty or a way to deceive seeker of third fish. It might indeed be the last revenge of Zhuang clan not to reveal third enemy. Maybe this was withheld from Zang Hai by ZhiXing choosing to handle the revenge of killing his father. This would give his dad the most merciful death and give Zhuang family most hope. He willingly gave his fish to Zang Hai so maybe he chose not to assist with third enemy. The Queen was right to test him. She has every reason to discourage her daughter from a man unable to love her most. For the reunion of AnTu and Zang Hai. I am going to be a very unpopular opinion. I liked her carp and swan story. It was a very good analogy for their relationship. But I did not feel the urgency of relief she was ok. This was adequately acted by both of them, but they were not near as stirring as the Queen and Kuai Duo. They were almost formal in hug and there was no tears or overwhelming feeling with the kiss. It gave the idea of what should have happened but not the feeling that that is what did happen. Their scene fell flat for me. I found the mother daughter scene much more touching. The hunt for The seal was accomplished with the compass provided by Queen. She is interesting, The seal turning up at the Emperor’s palace. Not unexpected but kinda anticlimactic when so much effort has been invested looking for it. The Eunuch stole the episode. He has figured out the location of seal thanks to Zang Hai and knows the third fish holder. His almost gleeful laugh said he enjoyed the irony of the situation. The Emperor already having the seal….did he determine the fish holders after Kuai Duo’s death? If Kuai Duo did not want the Emperor to have the power of the seal by keeping the fish….why bother to bring it back? He could have just taken the fish and negated the use of it. Why would the Marquis and Eunuch be part of it when their inclination for corruption well known. What was the original intent of the fish and who has third key? This episode feels sloppy compared to the other ones. It is the first time that only Eunuch draws me into the mystery part of story. It is sadly disappointing after all the revelations of last episode. The other thing is did the Emperor want him killed to get the key? I thought the Marquis referred to the seal when he told Kuai Duo he had something that did not belong to him….what if he was always referring to the fish? What last machinations played out that night that determined the fish holders? I do not see the astronomer’s righteous cause including the Marquis and eunuch in anything……so what was the original plan and who thwarted it? I like the Queen alliance. She is the first to give observer view of seal and its history.

Cao’s squad knows Zang Hai was last to enter Marquis’ house. They want to kill him but Cao wants Gui seal more. He can’t be sure that Zang Hai doesn’t know where it is. The meal with his friends seemed like a goodbye dinner…maybe of the permanent kind. AnTu, to her credit, gave it to him straight. She would forsake her mother forever to run away with him if he would drop the matter. He is in anguish outside her prison door. He so wants to run off with her but chooses to put hope aside and see this path through. She is heartbroken but resigned to his choice. She has made it clear she wants him to live above all else. Zang Hai was ready to deliver his resignation letter to ease the way to leave for Dongxia. Just before it could be delivered, the Queen of Dongxia arrives. Her lipstick is rather distracting. She has a vibe but I can’t place it yet. She is most cunning but it seems neither good or evil…just ready to meet decisively whatever comes at her. She is not the eagle but bird of prey is not a bad analogy. For now I will consider her a lady dragon ready to protect her treasure. She is chained but not down for the count by any means…it is more like biding her time for the long game. She watches and waits. Zang Hai is called to court for an emergency meeting. This has everybody’s attention since session had been cancelled due to Emperor’s illness. This of course was cover story for Cao not being able to attend. He is in critical condition but is singularly focused on Gui seal. He wants all pieces on board til its location is revealed. The Emperor gives a panda vibe. He looks more comfortable in his workshop than in court. The Queen presents a series of gifts and the emperor wants to know what the incredible treasure is that was promised. A miniature house is brought in with a challenge attached. The treasure is inside, but it is a puzzle box to open. She challenges to see if any of their scholars are capable of opening. The head of ministry of works gives it a go. He understands the construction but sees it as a system of locks with no means of unlocking. The Prince suggests Zang Hai. Zang Hai investigates the box and understands the connections between beasts and dots. He sees a specific joint technique particular to his father. He knows he has to open it and he knows his identity is revealed when he does. He chooses to complete the box and present it open to emperor. The roof is lifted off to reveal a jade fetus.This is supposed to be buried in an auspicious location to ensure longevity of rule. Zang Hai is given the job to find a location. The Queen offers him a ride to chat and she shows him some of her cards. She knows her daughter likes him. She has figured out who he is. And she knows he has her daughter. She gives him the first real clue about his father’s death and he is given the option to bring her daughter to her or share his fate. She has already dispatched the yong members guarding coach and he is a lone man amidst amazons. She is quietly just as impressive as Marquis. Can’t wait to see what next episode reveals.

The battle of father and son. ZhiXing challenges his father that if he wins the insurrection ceases. The Marquis accepts the challenge. His son is definitely less experienced, but he is impressed that he can dodge his attacks. He tests his son’s mettle and is satisfied. At a crucial time he holds his son’s blade and helps him avert an attack. He lets his son continue the thrust and makes him swear to keep his promise of reviving the Zhuang name. Zang Hai is shaken at the emotional embrace between father and son as the sword continues through. As much as he truly wants the Marquis dead, he is heartbroken for ZhiXing. The battle ceases and the Marquis’ men and son are arrested. In court Eunuch Cao argues for the death of ZhiXing and his supporters agree. Fortunately calmer voices prevailed and ZhiXing is spared.He is sent to the border and refused entry to city unless by imperial order. Zang Hai and ZhiXing see this as the emperor trying to have him killed indirectly. Zang Hai points out he could succeed. I see this as the emperor giving him indirect protection. For all his faults the Marquis fought valiantly and with honor, his son is cut of the same cloth without the moral ambiguity. He is a straight arrow with a definitive line of right and wrong. If kept away from the court to mature and strengthen himself, he will be a great asset to the empire and has the capacity to be a great man and savior of the Zhuang bloodline. After arrests are made, Zang Hai smiles over the body of Marquis, but after is still a hint of respect for a man that is brave but blinded by power . ZhiXing asked if he was happy at death of his first enemy. Zang Hai has no response but ponders the question. I think he is satisfied that no more misconduct can be caused by him but I think it would be wrong to say he was pleased and content. ZhiXing notices for himself that while he felt the need to completely avenge his mother that he was not consoled by the death of his father. He weeps by his mother’s tomb feeling completely alone in the world. He thinks she is disappointed in him for killing his father and would not want him to visit anymore. Zang Hai softens this by requesting his mates from the military to join him so they can grow and mature together. I like how Zang Hai tells him to not look back but to keep looking forward. I hope to see the day ZhiXing returns and looking forward greets Zang Hai. The Eunuch is far from happy and his goons are wanting to kill off ZhiXing immediately. I think they will still plot but while annoyed that part of the Marquis is alive, he does not consider the son to be a worthy adversary. His mistake but he won’t live long enough to realize it. Zang Hai has set a nice trap for the Eunuch. He has them believing the seal is hid in the wall of the treasury. Knowing that the eunuch will be behind his henchman while they are opening it…when the box is removed it will trigger a device in opposite wall that spews darts across hitting back to front. The eunuch is guaranteed to get the majority of missiles. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.😝The masked man visits Zang Hai and mentor. Zang Hai is remaining on path but he does realize he used ZhiXing and changed his life forever. On this, as horrible as it was, I am inclined to think this ultimately helped ZhiXing more than hurt him. He will become his own man without the stigma of corrupt father and brother and heartless poisoning stepmom. His future will be brighter without their influence. I think the Marquis himself recognized this when he chose to lose the battle. This was his redemption. They discuss how things are going and how to proceed now that Marquis is dead. It is figured the third party is aware of the happenings but just to be sure mentor is dispatched to Dongxia to spread rumors and find out what they know. AnTu is worried that ZangHai will not survive a round with her mom. She is truly concerned and his response is that it would be better if she killed him. I know that the queen must know of her daughter’s disappearance and the happenings about the Gui seal. I do not know if she is part of the current three tho I am pretty sure she is the one that triggered it to beat General Zhuang in first battle. I do not know if she had any dealings with astronomer, but it’s likely she did. So what arrangements did she have with the astronomer and where was he directed to put the seal and who helped guard it? I think all three fish have to be together to activate it. I think Cao was a necessary evil to keep her daughter protected, but if he and Marquis are both out of the way…what happens now? That is the real question for the case of the seal. Now to see if Zang Hai still needs plan for seal or if he is just winding down his hunt for third person revenge. And what are his intentions for AnTu? How will she fit into things? Will they be together or adversaries? I don’t even think Zang Hai has decided on this yet.

Baby Feifei greets the world amidst chaos. 4 generations of Wei women determine to stay steadfast on the home front. It’s kind of an amazing sight. Even mom is somewhat resolute. Especially since she is usually a woman suffering from vapours. Interesting that one she so admired is now who they must defeat.😝 General Qu has so much guilt. He will forever carry this because he knows he passed on the mission to make Liang go. I can’t believe he lost an arm and still took out half a squad. He was supposed to have a small cavalry group so why is he doing this solo? He now has Liang strapped to his back and leading blind Qiao dad. Liu Yan has done us the favor of killing the governor. But he has also taken out the two most brilliant canal engineers. While he was admiring the blood on his hand I was honestly expecting him to lick down his hand and grin. He seems happiest surrounded by dead. They are the only ones that look up to him.😝 Advisor is gonna have to decide where to hide now because no side will trust his traitorous ass. A rock slide has hampered Lord Wei and they are having a hard time of it. They are down to 70% of their men and the odds are against them as more defect to Liangya. He receives the message that his home is under siege and he has the choice between his family or the people of Panyi. He makes the choice that ManMan would and heads for Panyi. I love how gma lets ManMan know she is not responsible for her uncle’s actions and I love how she declares herself a Wei that won’t leave her home or desert her people. The end is approaching and battles raging on all fronts. Time to see who the victors will be.

Finally seeing the Emperor. Wow…those lies fall smoothly from Cao’s tongue. You can tell he’s a well seasoned liar. The Marquis is walking a tightrope. For all he would love to say he can’t appear the vindictive nemesis. The second official that testified said what Cao wanted him to say, but I do credit him with implying that Cao declared it rather than it being so. I liked that the Emperor chastised the eunuch first. He’s put a hold on the vindictive use of surveillance guards. While the Marquis took blame for not educating his son, and this actually true, he went on to resign his position. I didn’t expect that, and Cao recognized it as nullifying the argument so he can’t continue any pursuit of the Marquis or his family. I did not realize that ZangHai kept Princess at his place. She is imprisoned but it is set up to be a quiet place to heal. He was smart enough to keep her weakened and concerned enough to get lady mentor to check on her. He was chastised for not giving Princess better accommodations and grinned knowingly for them to have a private conversation. She knew that the gentleman protested too much about the Princess being his enemy. Her prior antics have made her too gray for him to consider her innocent. But she has assisted and tried to spare his life from Marquis house battle so she is equally not guilty. He does not know how to place her so he throws her with Dongxia for now. She boldly told him to just kill her now if he thought her enemy and he didn’t agree with that option so waiting to see if she expounds on her deal with Cao and if they continue to work guardedly together or she is left alone to deal with Cao. ZhiXing is strongly encouraged to become the martial artist scholar to gain entry level to court. Zhifu’s mom overhears and tries to get him killed on the course. Zang Hai’s bodyguard taught him well with survivor techniques. He returns victorious with first place. Here I must give actor playing Zhifu credit for playing the babbling idiot quite well. His mother has reason to feel snubbed but she is also receiving recompense for her past deeds. I feel no sympathy for her. She is receiving judgment for killing an innocent and trying to destroy a child’s life. It’s kinda satisfying to see him become a strong leader that has a moral compass. He has the capacity to far outdo his father if he continues this course. Her outrage at seeing the other woman made a legitimate wife.😝 Her machinations are falling around her and she has reason to be concerned about what this means for her and her son. At ZhiXing’s celebratory dinner the Dongxia armor is brought out. While it is his proudest moment with father I think he cringed when he first saw it. ZangHai did an excellent job hiding his horror of it. I hope that is something ZhiXing keeps hid in a closet and never wears. That armor represents a whole lot of evil. The episode ends with the political wife gnashing her teeth that the loved wife posthumously gained her place. I have to admit to enjoying that.

This time they convinced young scholars to make blood wine for a toast. This proved all were ink and not real. They discovered the mentor scholar wasn’t there and he was probably the real one. Both XuanYe and BanXia confessed so sweetly. She remembered his and then gave her own. 🥰 The constable overhears and XuanYe ends up in jail. The sand demon has escaped and he’s a major pain in the arse. His gift can change the landscape and cause permanent harm. He escaped from both jail and painting and has erased escape route. He is now hurdling things at XuanYe determined to end him. XuanYe is starting to get more apathetic like mentor scholar but is trying one more thing. He has brothers make lamb soup which doesn’t taste so good to humans but this strong version is quite tasty to moon bugs. He and BanXia found her parents. Her father has his eyes sealed so in the painting he is blind. Her mother became the crying Buddha statue. Hopefully the moon bugs can assist in demon removal so they can get out. The constable has yet to remember who he is but the moon seems to be the key. Too bad scholar destroyed his painting. The sand demon making more unpleasant surprises. Hoping lady constable can help from other side.

XuanYe and BanXia continue their quest to see all six wonders. They get their fortunes told under the wishing tree. There they find a young Taoist who has been in the painting 60 years. Is it better to leave him there with hope or get him to a site where temple was destroyed by natural disaster and he will immediately be old man? This is a quandary for them. When she tosses a wish her father’s wish falls out of the tree. This proves he is there somewhere. XuanYe stops at the clinic and sees his parents and him as a small boy. It was a touching moment for him. His father teaches the young him and grown him their family martial arts move. This time eating his favorite dish from mom and teachings from dad will be with him a long time. They stop at the banquet and BanXia fortunately recalls a poem to write on a lantern. Another student has volunteered her to make up another. She is not prepared to recite. The constable has escaped and has his soldiers ready to canvass everywhere to find them both. I think BanXia would prefer facing the soldiers to facing expectant dinner guests with eloquence. 🤣Their tour guide is almost healed at uncle’s place, but in spite of the kind words of hospitality, there is something off about uncle and I think demon senses it.
