Episode 17 recap: Ma Lao Guang was punished by the Cold Envoy.
Lin Tai Ping, against all odds, came back to find Yu Ling Long. He kept saying that he couldn't disregard the righteousness of the martial world for his own petty emotions. Even Yu Ling Long's maidservant could see that Lin Tai Ping had run out of money and had nowhere else to go, but Lin Tai Ping still refused to admit it! The Cold Envoy and his subordinates said they would slander Wang Fu Lei in a way that no one would believe. His subordinates were puzzled as to why they had arrested him last night, but the Cold Envoy innocently claimed that he himself had come over.
Lin Tai Ping appeared in the street in a very embarrassed state. He didn't expect to encounter Yu Ling Long as soon as he put on his straw sandals. Yu Ling Long immediately began to ridicule him, and Lin Tai Ping couldn't raise his head in an instant. After all, what he had said before leaving was too harsh. However, Lin Tai Ping still pretended to be calm and stated that he had figured things out. If Yu Ling Long caught Feng Qi Wu, he would marry her, and if he caught her, they would drop the matter between them. Unexpectedly, Yu Ling Long refused. Yu Ling Long bluntly stated that neither of them could catch Feng Qi Wu. So they remained at an impasse. Lin Tai Ping didn't understand what Yu Ling Long meant, so Yu Ling Long told him to go back and ask the three good sect leaders, and then he would know! Afterwards, under the mockery of Yu Ling Long and her maidservant, Lin Tai Ping staggered back home.
The three sect leaders held washbasins, changed clothes, and food, and stood by the three children, urging them to eat. Unexpectedly, Yan Qi and Wang Dong were sad because of the mischief caused by the three sect leaders earlier. They had no appetite for tea or food. When Lin Tai Ping returned and heard about it, he also couldn't accept it. At first, the three sect leaders were kind and gentle, but they couldn't help but explode a little. The three children were also startled, but quickly regained their composure. Finally, Guo Da Lu's intrusion broke the deadlock, and the three young masters ran away. The three sect leaders could only catch Guo Da Lu and ask him what he was thinking. Unexpectedly, Guo Da Lu also stood with the three young masters. The three sect leaders felt cold-hearted, but Lu Shang Long Wang and Nan Gong Chou quickly realized that it was all Wang Fu Lei's fault. Now that the three children had left, the two of them began to isolate Wang Fu Lei. Even though Wang Fu Lei stated that Ma Lao Guang was indeed Feng Qi Wu, they didn't believe him at all!
Wang Fu Lei was depressed about his current situation. He thought it was all because of Ma Lao Guang, that cunning and treacherous person. Just as Wang Fu Lei was thinking this, Ma Lao Guang actually appeared. Wang Fu Lei directly vented his anger on him, but Ma Lao Guang said he came today for something, something related to surrendering. However, this time Ma Lao Guang had a condition, which was to make Zhang Cui Yun believe that he was Feng Qi Wu. Since that incident, Zhang Cui Yun had thought that Feng Qi Wu no longer wanted her. Ma Lao Guang had told her hundreds of times that he was Feng Qi Wu, but she didn't believe him and was still seeking death every day. Ma Lao Guang couldn't bear it anymore, so he came to find Wang Fu Lei. Wang Fu Lei agreed, but on the condition that Ma Lao Guang must surrender to Wang Dong. Although Ma Lao Guang didn't know why, he still agreed!
Ma Lao Guang brought Wang Fu Lei to Mai Ji Restaurant. Soon after, Zhang Cui Yun, who had just attempted suicide, was supported by Mai Xiao Ya as she came out. Zhang Cui Yun was already very fragile, but she couldn't help but curse at Ma Lao Guang when she heard him claiming to be Feng Qi Wu. Even Wang Fu Lei, who was helping as a witness on the side, was also scolded. Before the matter could be resolved, Lu Shang Long Wang and the Cold Envoy arrived. In order to give credit to Wang Dong, Wang Fu Lei pretended to know nothing and stood by Lu Shang Long Wang's side.
Zhang Cui Yun was heartbroken, believing that Feng Qi Wu must be nearby. Subsequently, both the martial world and the imperial court offered generous terms, hoping that Feng Qi Wu would surrender. Ma Lao Guang became excited upon hearing this. He was about to admit that he was Feng Qi Wu when Yan Qi and the others suddenly brought news of Feng Qi Wu's death! Even Ma Lao Guang was stunned. However, no one believed Ma Lao Guang's claim to be Feng Qi Wu. He attempted to demonstrate his light skills, but Wang Fu Lei disrupted his performance, preventing him from taking off. Ma Lao Guang had grievances but couldn't express them, and in the end, he was even beaten by Chao San's men.
Yan Qi and the others happily went to report the situation to Wang Dong. It turned out that the fake death of Feng Qi Wu was orchestrated by Wang Dong. This move would help settle the case with the Cold Envoy and prevent the three sect leaders from interfering further. In this way, the three children could still use Mai Sao to lure out the real Feng Qi Wu and capture her in one fell swoop. The group fantasized about this plan.
Wang Fu Lei went to deliver medicine to Ma Lao Guang and angrily denounced him for not keeping his contract. He couldn't believe that Ma Lao Guang wanted to surrender in front of others. Ma Lao Guang admitted his mistake and said that he now only wanted to prove himself to Zhang Cui Yun as Feng Qi Wu. However, Wang Fu Lei pointed out that Ma Lao Guang couldn't demonstrate his light skills now, so there was no way to prove it. Ma Lao Guang claimed that he could still perform a few moves to prove himself.
Unable to stop him, Wang Fu Lei went back to find Lu Shang Long Wang and Nan Gong Chou to figure out a solution. After understanding the whole story, the two of them became angry at Wang Fu Lei's actions. After all, if Feng Qi Wu faked her death and then reappeared, it would solidify the accusation that the Hundred Bandits Society was harboring criminals.
