Episode 5 recap: Ji Yang is Attacked and Seriously Wounded
In episode 5, Nan Yan was delighted to receive a gift from Ji Yang, but was dismayed to learn that the butterfly was meant to keep an eye on her. Suddenly, some members of the Daosheng Tian organization appeared, and Ji Yang hurriedly pulled Nan Yan into a corner to hide.Nan Yan considered using the information about Daosheng Tian to bargain for her freedom, but was troubled by their ruthless "better to wrongly kill a thousand than let one go free" motto. Even the street vendors were cursing the organization for their cruelty.
Ji Yang carelessly spent money on a beautiful fan, much to Nan Yan's distress. But when he simply handed the fan to her, her annoyance melted away.
Meanwhile, Mu Zhan Ting was searching everywhere for Nan Yan. He got lost and ended up asking Yin Ya for directions. Yin Ya, being mischievous, first misled him, then transformed into a beautiful woman to entertain him. When Mu Zhan Ting tried to leave, Yin Ya stole his money pouch.
Ji Yang went to the pleasure boats, but left a protective barrier around Nan Yan before going. The temptress Biezhuan tried to seduce him, but he demanded a map of the Xiu Valley instead. When they couldn't reach an agreement, they fought, and Ji Yang emerged victorious.
Bored inside the barrier, Nan Yan was spotted by Yin Ya, who was entranced by the silver dragon pearl on her neck. He tried to use illusion magic to steal it, but Nan Yan saw through his deception. Yin Ya then pretended to apologize, and Nan Yan, feeling pity, forgave him.
Biezhuan failed to catch Ji Yang, and in her pursuit, ended up drawing the Daosheng Tian agents to attack her. She quickly escaped. Ji Yang, worried about Nan Yan, fought his way through to reach her.
Nan Yan, hearing that the Daosheng Tian leader was being pursued, went searching for Ji Yang. She found him, and they fled together, with Mu Zhan Ting stirring up confusion to let them escape.
Though not afraid of Daosheng Tian, Ji Yang was touched by Nan Yan's concern for him. But fearing he would bring her harm, he sent her away again. As the Daosheng Tian agents closed in, Ji Yang fought with all his strength, but was ultimately wounded and coughing up blood.
