Episode 15 recap: Yue Jin Zhao left the Tianqing Sea and confessed his feelings to Luo Zhao Yan in front of Xian Qing.
Ge Laoda was wary of the recognition between Qi Mu and her daughter. For many years, the Hengdao faction and the Tianqing Sea have been at odds with each other, constantly on guard. Ge Qing Fei suggested resolving the Qiyuan Sect as soon as possible, especially since Yue Jin Zhao already knew that he resembled Bian Luo Huan Zhang. Continuing in this way could lead to unexpected complications.
Bian Luo Huan expressed his willingness to handle these matters, as it was his carelessness that had exposed his true identity. However, Ge Laoda no longer trusted him and was concerned that he might take actions beyond their plans. Qi went to the main hall to find Zhu Yu, hoping she could teach him the Hu Sheng technique, but Zhu Yu evaded the request and dismissed her with hesitation.
Yue Jin Zhao was feeling melancholic, and Ju Shi Fang and Xian Qing accompanied him for a drink. Now that Qi was the princess of the Yu clan, while he had lost his memory and had no knowledge of his origins, Yue Jin Zhao felt a tinge of sadness. Xian Qing advised him to think positively and be happy for Qi, who had found her family.
Yue Jin Zhao got drunk, and Xian Qing reminded Ju Shi Fang that if there is someone they admire, they should let that person know. Luo Zhao Yan once again suffered from the backlash of a curse, enduring it with great difficulty. Xian Qing felt deeply distressed seeing her in pain and asked about the curse that caused the premature death of the twins in the Luo family. However, Luo Zhao Yan didn't want to answer.
Xian Qing ceased his inquiries and simply expressed his concern for Luo Zhao Yan. Her heart was in chaos upon hearing this, and she changed the subject, claiming that Xian Qing was just joking. Encouraged by Xian Qing, Ju Shi Fang mustered the courage to approach Su Xuan and show her goodwill. However, Su Xuan stated that the Yu clan admired heroes and strong men, and since Ju Shi Fang couldn't even defeat himself, he should disappear from her sight. She proposed a fight between them, and if he lost, he would have to stay away from her.
Although Ju Shi Fang knew he couldn't win, he bravely faced the challenge. Xian Qing noticed that Luo Zhao Yan was avoiding him, and he reminded her that he didn't want to be just a brother or a friend to her but also a confidant. Luo Zhao Yan clearly had feelings for him but refused to acknowledge them. She claimed to be someone with a short lifespan and unworthy of Xian Qing's affections, but he didn't care about that. Unsure of how to respond, Luo Mai Ming's message arrived, and Xian Qing left first, but before leaving, he assured Luo Zhao Yan that he would definitely get her answer.
Luo Mai Ming, although not leaving his home, had a thorough understanding of the outside world and knew that Qi was the young lord of the Yu clan, which allowed him to cause the Rehai Key Pendant to react. He knew that Luo Zhao Yan was doing well outside and understood that she had grown into a teenage girl with blossoming emotions.
Qi came to find Zhu Yu and happened to overhear their conversation. Zhu Yu wanted Qi to stay in the Tianqing Sea because there, she was respected and protected as the young lord, without having to endure hardships and homelessness with him. Qi's heart was torn upon hearing this, and she couldn't bear to be separated from Zhu Yu. In order to stay with him, Qi forcefully activated the Lingxi technique to try to remove the Hu Sheng technique, but she suffered a strong backlash. Seeing Qi in such pain because of him, Zhu Yu tenderly embraced her.
He knew Qi's longing to be with her mother, so he quietly left the Tianqing Sea while Qi went to find the Little Fish Pendant. Zhu Yu handed over the notes left by Yue Jin Zhao to Qi, and everyone left the Tianqing Sea on the Cloud-Coming Stone. Qi opened the notes left by Zhu Yu, which meticulously documented their lives together over the past three years.
Tears streamed down Qi's face as she resolved to find a way to remove the Hu Sheng technique. Yue Jin Zhao decided to find Bian Luo Huan Zhang to clarify their relationship. He suddenly realized that the Qiyuan Sect's stronghold should be near the Yinma River. Ming Xiu stated that if they wanted to eradicate the Qiyuan Sect, they would need to cooperate with the Zhengwu Alliance, but they had already fallen out with them.
Xian Qing volunteered to stay behind, saying that he could accompany everyone for so long and now he was weary. Ming Xiu suggested he return to recuperate in the Qingshan Mountains. Ju Shi Fang asked if Xian Qing would reunite with them in the future, but Xian Qing didn't answer. He just looked deeply at Luo Zhao Yan.
Xian Qing left the group, and Luo Zhao Yan followed closely behind. Xian Qing turned back and asked her if she came to tell him the answer. Blushing, Luo Zhao Yan shyly replied that she was willing to meet him again. Xian Qing smiled at her response, bid farewell to Luo Zhao Yan, and left with a joyful heart.
The emperor and his subordinates discussed Qi's whereabouts and concluded that it was not yet time to leave her in the Tianqing Sea, as it would violate their agreement with the Hengdao faction. Lin Yuan also reported to Zhu Yu that the Hengdao faction was collecting Dragon Crystal Stones, which could be detrimental to them. Zhu Yu said it didn't matter and emphasized that the key was to find the Rehai. Once they had the Rehai, they could heal the injuries of the Tianqing Sea and restore its vitality.
