Episode 5 recap: Yan Qi and Guo Dalu Help Lin Taiping Escape from a Forced Marriage
Lin Taiping told Yan Qi and Guo Dalu about his experiences with Yu Linglong. It turned out that when they were young, Yu Linglong said she would help Lin Taiping build courage and locked him in a pig slaughterhouse. Since then, Lin Taiping not only failed to build courage but also started to faint at the sight of blood.
In addition, Yu Linglong forced Lin Taiping to cross-dress and told everyone that Lin Taiping was her fiancé. There were many incidents like this. After hearing Lin Taiping's story, both Yan Qi and Guo Dalu felt heartbroken for his experiences. However, Yan Qi still wanted to ask Lin Taiping if he actually liked Yu Linglong. Lin Taiping honestly said that he had always wanted to avoid her and never thought about whether he liked her or not. But now, Lin Taiping didn't know what to do. Guo Dalu suggested that Lin Taiping should run away. Lin Taiping asked for Yan Qi's opinion, and Yan Qi agreed. However, Lin Taiping still couldn't make up his mind and fantasized about asking Wang Dong for his opinion when he returned. What they didn't know was that Wang Dong was currently with Hong Niangzi, who proposed that they separate. She insisted that if Wang Dong wanted to become the leader, they had to be apart, despite Wang Dong's strong opposition.
Early the next morning, Yan Qi, Guo Dalu, and Lin Taiping quietly prepared to leave. However, as soon as they stepped out of the room, they were blocked by Shizi. Lin Taiping explained that they weren't going to investigate today, but Shizi insisted on following them. Helpless, Yan Qi and the others had no choice but to leave and figure out a solution later. The three of them went to Maiji Restaurant and ordered a table full of dishes. Shizi sat next to them and occasionally got into arguments with Guo Dalu. Yan Qi and the others were extremely frustrated, trying to figure out how to get rid of Shizi. Suddenly, Guo Dalu came up with an idea. He went outside and confronted Shizi, and as expected, they started arguing again. After realizing something was wrong, Shizi wanted to go inside and check if Yan Qi and Lin Taiping were still there. When he saw that they were still inside, he felt relieved. On the other hand, Huo Bo Pi noticed that Guo Dalu had appeared at Maiji Restaurant. After reporting to Guigongzi, Huo Bo Pi seized the opportunity to talk to Guo Dalu alone. Huo Bo Pi asked Guo Dalu about his plan, thinking that he meant the plan to help Lin Taiping escape. Guo Dalu, misunderstanding the question, said that he wanted to deal with the "lion" inside. At that moment, the real Qian Mianyi sneaked into the room and transformed into the appearance of a lion!
After Guo Dalu and Huo Bo Pi finished talking, they returned only to find that the lion was missing. Just then, Qian Mianyi, disguised as a lion, appeared. Huo Bo Pi struck him with a brick from behind! Guo Dalu was stunned, and Huo Bo Pi immediately locked Qian Mianyi up. Meanwhile, the real lion was still outside, engaged in casual conversation. When Qian Mianyi woke up, he transformed into Guo Dalu's appearance. As soon as he stepped out, he encountered the lion who had returned from outside. The lion despised Guo Dalu and struck him with a stick from behind, and Qian Mianyi was captured and taken back to the room. When Qian Mianyi woke up again, he reverted to his usual face. When Huo Bo Pi returned and saw this, he became even angrier at the repeated mischief caused by this imposter and took him away.
As Guo Dalu came out of the restroom, he coincidentally encountered the lion. Both of them had their own ulterior motives and thought that the other hadn't noticed them. Later, Yan Qi and the others decided to forcefully break out. However, as soon as they stepped out of the restaurant, Lin Taiping ran into his father. Helpless, the three of them had no choice but to return. Huo Bo Pi carried Qian Mianyi back, and when Guigongzi saw him, he realized that the person was indeed Qian Mianyi. However, every time Huo Bo Pi looked, Qian Mianyi kept changing back and forth. Guigongzi and Huo Bo Pi got into a fight, as neither of them believed the other. Unable to bear it any longer, Qian Mianyi directly revealed his true face in front of them. It was then that they both realized that the jade pendant was truly lost. However, they still hadn't figured out the situation with Guo Dalu, leaving Qian Mianyi speechless. On the other side, Wang Fulei was still comforting the distraught Wang Dong.
Yu Linglong finally arrived in Ping'an Town. Just as she was having a sip of tea, some ruffians came to cause trouble. Yu Linglong had no choice but to deal with them first before going to find Lin Taiping. When Yu Linglong arrived, Lin Taiping was cursing at his own portrait, thinking it was Yan Qi's idea along with Guo Dalu's. Due to being drunk, he wasn't paying attention to what he was saying. Angered, Yu Linglong struck Lin Taiping, sending him flying. When the Grand Sect Leader saw Lin Taiping, he was already bandaged and lying in bed.
