Episode 14 recap: Guo Jing and Yang Ke competed for Huang Rong's hand in marriage.
The Evil Cult Leader (Huang Yao Shi) apologized to the Laughing Condor (Qiu Chuji) for keeping him trapped on Peach Blossom Island for 15 years. He allowed Qiu Chuji to leave the island and take Guo Jing with him. However, Huang Yao Shi was displeased that Guo Jing had deceived him, so he called off the marriage arrangement between Guo Jing and his daughter Huang Rong. As Guo Jing and the others were leaving the island by boat, the boat was attacked and set on fire, forcing them to jump into the water. Huang Rong came to their rescue but was also knocked into the water when the boat exploded.
The Western Venom (Ouyang Feng) fought against the Northern Beggar (Hong Qigong), with their respective martial arts styles of Toad Skill and Dragon Eighteen Palms evenly matched. Huang Rong and Guo Jing watched the battle. Seeing Huang Rong and Guo Jing's close relationship, Ouyang Ke became jealous and plotted against Guo Jing. Huang Rong blocked Ouyang Ke's poisoned needle, and Guo Jing also stepped in to discipline Ouyang Ke. In the chaos, Ouyang Feng noticed Ouyang Ke was in danger and went to assist him, although Huang Yao Shi protected Huang Rong. Guo Jing was accidentally injured when he tried to save Huang Rong from Ouyang Feng.
Seeing Guo Jing injured while protecting his daughter, Huang Yao Shi gave Guo Jing the Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill to treat his injury. Hong Qigong wanted Ouyang Ke to take a hit as well since Guo Jing was hurt, leading to another dispute between Ouyang Feng and Hong Qigong. Huang Yao Shi intervened and said he would provide a satisfactory explanation the next day.
Mu Nianci was captured by Wanyan Honglie, who tortured her to reveal clues about the Martial Marquis' Legacy. Yang Kang came to the prison to rescue Mu Nianci, saying he would confront Wanyan Honglie. Mu Nianci was distressed that Yang Kang had dealings with Wanyan Honglie to save her. Yang Kang said he retrieved the Martial Marquis' Legacy to give to Guo Jing, though Mu Nianci was skeptical. Yang Kang apologized to Wanyan Honglie for rescuing Mu Nianci, and Wanyan Honglie agreed to let her stay with Yang Kang.
The next day, Huang Yao Shi proposed a contest - the winner would become the son-in-law of Peach Blossom Island, while the loser could learn any martial art from the island. He matched Ouyang Ke against Hong Qigong, and Guo Jing against Ouyang Feng, prohibiting the use of internal energy. In the first round, Ouyang Ke was knocked off the branch, giving Guo Jing the victory. In the second round testing musical skills, Guo Jing prevailed in focus and internal energy, but Ouyang Ke excelled in melody, resulting in a draw.
Huang Yaoshi had Guo Jing and Ouyang Ke memorize books in the third round, and Hong Qigong felt that Huang Yaoshi's test was unfair to Guo Jing, but Guo Jing decided to participate in the competition in order to marry Huang Rong.
Guo Jing participated in the third round and found that the content of the book was the martial arts that Zhou Botong had previously taught him. Guo Jing successfully memorized the content of the book, but Huang Yaoshi believed that Guo Jing had taken the lost Jiu Yin Zhen Jing (Nine Yin True Scripture).
Previously, Zhou Botong appeared and accused the Eastern and Western Poison of bullying the younger generation. He took out the upper and lower volumes of the Jiu Yin Zhen Jing and destroyed the scripture himself, also stating that the only Jiu Yin Zhen Jing in the world was in Guo Jing's mind, and the best solution was to let Guo Jing become Huang Yaoshi's son-in-law. Guo Jing did not know that the Vagrant Youth True Skill he had learned before was the Jiu Yin Zhen Jing, and Huang Yaoshi was also furious that Guo Jing had taken the scripture, and fought against Zhou Botong, but Zhou Botong could not beat Huang Yaoshi with one hand.
The reason Huang Yaoshi insisted on the Jiu Yin Zhen Jing was that his wife had died because of it, and he wanted to personally destroy the Jiu Yin Zhen Jing to mourn his wife. Huang Yaoshi apologized to Zhou Botong for confining him for fifteen years, and also promised to let Guo Jing leave Peach Blossom Island with Zhou Botong.
Huang Yaoshi told everyone that the matter of his daughter's marriage was abandoned, and he sent Ouyang Feng and his nephew away, and also promised to teach Ouyang Ke a martial art from Peach Blossom Island. Ouyang Ke proposed to learn the Five Elements Bizarre Gate from Peach Blossom Island, and Huang Yaoshi handed over the formation technique for Ouyang Ke to study.
Hong Qigong and Zhou Botong took Guo Jing away from Peach Blossom Island, and Guo Jing was reluctant to leave. Huang Yaoshi felt that Guo Jing was too cunning, he had tricked Hong Qigong into teaching him the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and had tricked Zhou Botong into becoming his sworn brother, so he would not let his daughter marry such a person.
Zhou Botong apologized to Guo Jing for doing good but causing harm, but Guo Jing knew that Zhou Botong had done it for his own good, so he naturally did not blame Zhou Botong. Hong Qigong and Zhou Botong comforted the dejected Guo Jing, and Hong Qigong even proposed to let Guo Jing succeed him as the leader of the Beggar Sect.
Huang Rong accidentally heard her father's words at her mother's grave, and learned that the flower boat that Guo Jing and the others were sailing had a problem, so she hurriedly sailed to rescue them. At the same time, Guo Jing and the others also discovered that the boat had a problem, and they could only jump into the sea to survive. Huang Rong saw the flower boat explode from a distance, and she was also blown into the sea by the explosion.
