Episode 6 recap: Zhao Tan Tan worked as a hostess in a flower brothel.
The next day, Zhao Tan Tan left the brothel and discovered that the fervent scholars had already left. She couldn't help but despise their lack of patience. It was then that she found Zhang Zhu Yuan, who was shivering inside a bamboo basket. She realized that the other scholars had been taken away by someone. Zhao Tan Tan and Cui Chen inquired about the direction and quickly caught up. They found out that the scholars had been taken to Yunchou City, where they were also mistreated along the way. They immediately revealed themselves to uphold justice. The one responsible for capturing the scholars turned out to be a goose spirit. Cui Chen used a sincere charm and learned that they had captured the scholars for the Lotus Appreciation Ceremony at the Er Mansion in three days.
It was Zhao Tan Tan's first time in Yunchou City, and she was captivated by the lively scene. When she saw Yunchou Restaurant, she walked in. The waiter immediately approached them to promote their package deals, but they were all about accommodation. Zhao Tan Tan directly ordered a set of pancake fruit, but the waiter drove her out because although it was a restaurant, they didn't serve rice dishes.
Zhao Tan Tan saw a sugar figurine seller on the street and wanted to buy one, but the line was long. She asked Cui Chen for help and continued to look for other food options. She accidentally discovered a place where she could enter for free and walked in. The madam of the flower brothel saw that Zhao Tan Tan was beautiful and tricked her into accompanying a customer for drinks. However, the customer didn't drink much, while Zhao Tan Tan ended up drinking a lot. She was worried that the customer would get drunk and refuse to pay, so she quickly reminded Zhao Tan Tan. At that moment, the customer pulled off the shawl from Zhao Tan Tan's shoulder, mesmerized by her beauty, and forcibly wanted to toast with her. Fortunately, Cui Chen arrived in time and used his spiritual power to drape a tablecloth over Zhao Tan Tan's shoulders, urging her to quickly change her clothes.
The madam, seeing Cui Chen's powerful magic and his angry expression, didn't dare to say anything. Zhao Tan Tan left the flower brothel safely. Cui Chen advised Zhao Tan Tan that Yunchou City was different from other places, full of deceitful people. Since Zhao Tan Tan lacked worldly experience, he reminded her not to wander around to avoid danger.
Qiu Yue Bai received news from Mo Bai and learned that Zhao Tan Tan and Cui Chen had arrived in Yunchou City. He immediately followed them, which made Cui Chen become wary. Qiu Yue Bai took the initiative to invite Zhao Tan Tan and Cui Chen to stay at his Seven Nights Inn. After Cui Chen agreed, he took Zhao Tan Tan to find delicious food, leaving Qiu Yue Bai behind feeling regretful.
Zhao Tan Tan first went to the Seven Nights Inn and requested three rooms. However, since it wasn't yet midnight, the innkeeper completely ignored her and told her to come back later. Seeing the sign that said "Black Inn," Zhao Tan Tan was amazed at how audacious black inns had become. Qiu Yue Bai and Cui Chen arrived at the inn at the same time. Qiu Yue Bai directly instructed the innkeeper to open three rooms and explained that they couldn't stay until midnight because the night in Yunchou City is most beautiful at that time.
While in her room, Zhao Tan Tan heard someone selling travel guides for Yunchou City. She couldn't resist the temptation and decided to go downstairs to take a look. Unexpectedly, Miao Yu and Hua Xiang had also arrived in Yunchou City. They had just looked at the guide but refused to pay and even beat up the seller. When they saw Zhao Tan Tan, they immediately approached her, mocking her for being untrustworthy and not giving them the Golden-Faced Fox.
Zhao Tan Tan wanted to escape, but Miao Yu and Hua Xiang were keeping a close eye on her and wouldn't let her leave. As the three of them fought, Zhao Tan Tan cleverly used tricks to make the other two even angrier. Just as they were about to go crazy, Mo Yan appeared and drove them away. Zhao Tan Tan was surprised to see the grandeur of the Lotus Appreciation Ceremony at the Er Mansion and realized that many cultivators had come to participate. She randomly stopped two people on the street to inquire, but they remained secretive. Upon learning that Revered Mo Bai and Cui Chen were also there, they quickly ran away to discuss countermeasures.
Cui Chen saw Qiu Yue Bai and Mo Yan talking in the garden, once again suspecting that Qiu Yue Bai didn't truly lack spiritual power. So he deliberately played tricks to make Qiu Yue Bai bump into him and then pretended to injure his hand, making it difficult for him to carry the bathwater. He asked Qiu Yue Bai for help, and during this time, he made another move to test him, causing Qiu Yue Bai to fall into the bathtub.
Qiu Yue Bai knew that Cui Chen didn't trust him, but he was infuriated by this method of testing. The next day, the Lotus Appreciation Ceremony at the Er Mansion began, and Zhao Tan Tan, Cui Chen, and Qiu Yue Bai went together. Zhao Tan Tan saw that even obscure and unknown sects could enter, so she was extremely confident in the reputation of the Qingyuan Sect. However, when the gatekeeper heard her mention the Qingyuan Sect, he showed no respect and pointed to a sign that said "The Qingyuan Sect and dogs are not allowed inside," reminding Zhao Tan Tan.
Infuriated, Zhao Tan Tan couldn't help but curse loudly, but it was of no use. She noticed that Miao Yu and Hua Xiang had two invitations in their hands, so she and Cui Chen made the two of them faint.
