Episode 17 recap: Jue Ming died protecting Shi San.
Shi San asks Chu Qi not to blame Jue Ming; Jue Ming has already paid the price for his ignorance. Jue Ming confesses that he killed Wang Wu and used the Purple Wind Grass to make the mayor and others turn against each other. Shi San reveals that she also joined Jue Ming and was the one disguised as the female ghost.
Jue Ming gives medicine to Wu Xu and tells him that he can see that Chu Qi also has feelings for him. Jue Ming advises Wu Xu to cherish that and not end up like them, with an irreparable outcome. Chu Qi tells Shi San and the others to rest well when they return, while she goes to find her father and deal with the mayor and his men.
Shi San is worried because Yangcheng is not under the jurisdiction of the general, and if something happens, it could be problematic. Chu Qi reassures Shi San not to worry about those things. Shi San mentions that there are still some things they haven't retrieved and wants to go back with Jue Ming, asking the others to go ahead. Chu Qi and the others wait for a long time, but Shi San and the others don't show up, and Wu Xu senses that something is wrong.
Shi San pretends to be the mayor's daughter and plans to come and kill him, but the mayor had already known about their actions and captures Shi San. The mayor uses Shi San as bait to lure Jue Ming out and fires a shot. Jue Ming takes the bullet for Shi San, saying that he is the one most to blame.
Chu Qi and the others return and try to rescue Shi San, but the director and his men arrive. The director says that times have changed, and Wu Xu's martial arts skills are useless here.
