Episode 15 recap: A Yin took the initiative to express her feelings to Gu Jin.
A Yin participated in the trial and faced three different magical objects, each unique and greatly appealing to her. However, the three objects seemed to have a spiritual connection and deliberately played tricks on A Yin. She first reached for the gourd, but unexpectedly arrows were shot at her from a crossbow, followed by a flying sword. Consequently, A Yin had to let go of the gourd and hastily grabbed the sword, only to be thrown to the ground. The old man with white hair nearby couldn't help but smile at this scene. During this period, A Yin had contemplated many things. From the moment Gu Jin found her and she hatched from her shell, to their experiences together from the Forbidden Valley to the Great Ze Mountain and then to the mortal realm, she confirmed her feelings. Even if Gu Jin forgets this relationship, she is determined to pursue him again and make him fall in love with her once more.
After regaining her composure, A Yin's mind became clearer. Despite the stark differences in their backgrounds, she and Gu Jin had already connected on a deeper level. Therefore, A Yin was unwilling to give up easily. She took the opportunity to become an attendant in the Celestial Palace, not only to obtain the qualification to possess the Nianyun Mountain but also to express her feelings to Gu Jin. Regardless of the future outcome, at least she had fought for this relationship.
With Yan Shuang's support, A Yin's determination grew stronger. Hong Yi, on the other hand, could accept it with an open mind, considering that it was widely known that A Yin liked Gu Jin. Matters of the heart cannot be forced. Coincidentally, Hong Yi planned to retrieve the Lost Annihilation Wheel of his father, and he also considered going to the Celestial Palace.
Yan Shuang, being the princess of the Eagle Clan, had her duty to fulfill in the Celestial Palace, so the four of them were about to reunite there. On the day of the Celestial Palace's selection of celestial officials, A Yin was almost eliminated due to her weak spiritual power. Fortunately, she displayed a sincere attitude and willingness to endure hardships. The Immortal Lord Yufeng was willing to give her a chance and arranged for her to serve in the Celestial Palace's Military Hall.
A Yin went happily to report to the Military Hall, but as soon as she opened the door, a gust of wind blew her away, and she desperately held onto a pillar. On the other hand, Hong Yi, who wanted to stay with A Yin, was chosen by the Immortal Lord Yufeng and forcibly assigned to his Wind Hall. Hong Yi had exceptional insight and quickly broke free from the binding immortal rope. The Immortal Lord Yufeng was very pleased with his performance and cast an approving glance at him.
While the Immortal Lord Yufeng was in meditation, Hong Yi attempted a surprise attack but failed. The profound mysteries behind it were difficult to discern, so he could only wait in the Wind Hall. Due to his injuries from the confrontation with the Immortal Lord, Yan Shuang personally applied medicine to Hong Yi in their room. As she listened to his complaints and grievances, she reminded him not to provoke trouble, as the Immortal Lord Yufeng was nearing the peak of his power, and the disparity in cultivation between them was immense.
As for the matter of the Annihilation Wheel, Yan Shuang believed that they should consider it carefully. Just as she finished speaking, Yan Shuang accidentally fell onto Hong Yi, and both of them remembered the kiss from their wedding night, creating an ambiguous and tense atmosphere. Meanwhile, A Yin had been waiting outside the hall the whole day and finally managed to sneak into the Military Hall, where she suddenly discovered a suspicious divine weapon.
After several exchanges, Fu Chen Jian was satisfactorily restored to his white-haired appearance as the Palace Master of the Sibing Hall. He was playful and mischievous, completely different from the dignified demeanor of the hall. During their conversation, A Yin unexpectedly discovered that the strange wind during the day was caused by Fu Chen Jian's toothache. She used her magic to treat him, and Fu Chen Jian's attitude towards A Yin improved significantly. He told her to rest well that night and promised to clean the artifacts for her the next day.
The next morning, A Yin gathered her courage and went to find Gu Jin, carrying pastries with her. She confessed her feelings to him. Although Gu Jin politely rejected A Yin, she couldn't suppress her affection for him. From the moment Gu Jin picked her up and saw her hatch from her shell, to their experiences together from the Forbidden Valley to the Great Ze Mountain and then to the mortal realm, every moment was a beautiful memory for A Yin.
A Yin was determined. Even if Gu Jin forgot their relationship, she would pursue him again and make him fall in love with her. The next morning, Hong Yi arrived at the Sifeng Hall and discovered that the previous failures were caused by mischievous spirits. The Immortal Lord Yufeng was pleased with Hong Yi's ability to calm his mind and praised him. He immediately appointed Hong Yi as a sixth-ranking guard of the Sifeng Hall, granting him the freedom to come and go and arrange his time, making it easier for them to meet.
The Immortal Lord Yufeng's observation of Hong Yi's skills reminded him of an old friend, who happened to be Hong Yi's father. He recounted past events, which deeply affected Hong Yi. At that moment, news arrived that the elder of the Fox Clan, Hong Mei, had been brutally assassinated. Hong Yi was shocked and hurried back to the Fox Clan, where he discovered that the death of Hong Mei was related to the Yao Clan.
However, Hong Ruo insisted that it was the work of the Immortal Clan, leading to another argument between him and Hong Yi. Lin Mo, concerned for Hong Ruo's safety, repeatedly advised her, unaware that she was the true culprit behind Hong Mei's murder. Hong Ruo leaned against Lin Mo and expressed her intention to report to the Demon King Lin Sen, vowing to strengthen their defenses against the Immortal Clan and take the initiative when necessary.
Fu Chen Jian accompanied A Yin to cleanse the three divine artifacts: the treasure gourd, the Annihilation Crossbow, and the Void Blade. All three artifacts had awakened spirits, with strong personalities and rebellious tendencies, making them uncooperative during the cleansing process. A Yin took on the challenging task and found herself being tricked by the artifacts. Fortunately, Yan Shuang appeared in time to control them.
Yan Shuang was appointed as the Palace Master of the Sibing Hall and warned all the spirit artifacts to behave. A Yin understood the true reason behind the artifacts' reluctance to be cleansed and cleverly infused them with spiritual energy. As a result, the spirits fell in love with the sensation of being cleansed and showed no discomfort. It was A Yin's down-to-earth nature that allowed her to befriend the spirits.
The Emperor Lan Feng witnessed this scene and admired it greatly. He praised A Yin and Yan Shuang highly. On the other hand, Hua Shu was furious and accused Emperor Lan Feng of promising to make Hua Yan the Palace Master of the Sibing Hall, questioning why he suddenly promoted Yan Shuang from Eagle Island.
Faced with Hua Shu's questioning, Emperor Lan Feng presented evidence to prove that Hua Yan had not achieved enough merits and had falsified a large portion of them. On the other hand, Yan Shuang had made significant contributions even before entering the Celestial Palace. Since joining the palace, she had been tirelessly accomplishing more than ten meritorious deeds. Unfortunately, Hua Shu's personal interests clouded his judgment, and he completely disagreed with Emperor Lan Feng's decision.
