Episode 16 recap: Si Kong Chang Feng Meets the Wind Maiden
In episode 16, Xiao Xie is furious that Li Chang Sheng has taken away Ye Ding Zhi, even lashing out at the palace maids. He is now deeply worried and fears the difficult days ahead. Xie Xuan is a renowned bookworm, burying himself in books daily. It's said that he can learn sword techniques just by reading, but lacks opportunities to put them into practice. He also mentions having a junior martial uncle who is a true polymath.
Although Bai Li Dong Jun has taken Li Chang Sheng as his master, he has yet to learn any real magic, finding it quite boring. One day, Si Kong Chang Feng comes to the tavern and orders the same wine as Bai Li Dong Jun - the famed Qiu Lu Bai. However, he's told they've run out. Si Kong Chang Feng is determined to get the last bottle, which is kept on the rooftop, a tricky task only Li Chang Sheng has managed so far. In his attempt to obtain the wine, Si Kong Chang Feng gets into a scuffle with the proprietor and is thrown out, where he runs into Bai Li Dong Jun and Lei Meng Sha.
Si Kong Chang Feng's spear is left inside, so Bai Li Dong Jun decides to help retrieve it, also hoping to try the Qiu Lu Bai. Lei Meng Sha introduces the proprietor, and Bai Li Dong Jun proposes a wine-brewing contest - if he wins, he gets both the wine and the spear.
The proprietor agrees. Lei Meng Sha then takes Bai Li Dong Jun and Si Kong Chang Feng to Bai Hua Tower, explaining it differs from a brothel, as he enjoys listening to ladies play the zither with Gu Jian Men. Gu Jian Men is impressively coordinating his swordplay with the music, even declaring the lady his destined partner, though he is ultimately rejected. At this moment, Lei Meng Sha's wife appears, pulling his ear and leading him away.
Upstairs, the lady begins playing a nostalgic tune, which Si Kong Chang Feng accompanies by blowing on leaves.
The lady upstairs was moved to tears and smiled, and everyone else shed tears as well. Si Kong Chang Feng was invited upstairs to see the young lady. He didn't want to go up at first, but with the encouragement of Bai Li Dong Jun, he went up anyway.
The two of them talked about the past, and Si Kong Chang Feng said he had forgotten everything that had happened before.
The young lady mentioned that her brother used to play the same melody, and Si Kong Chang Feng said he also had a sister. When the young lady said her brother's name was Wei Luo Li, Si Kong Chang Feng surprisingly said that was his name as well. Feng Qiu Yu felt that Si Kong Chang Feng had taken advantage of her, so she went to see him beyond the curtain.
The two of them got along very well, and Feng Qiu Yu found Si Kong Chang Feng quite interesting.
At home, Yue Yao waited for Bai Li Dong Jun, and when she smelled the fragrance of rouge on him, she got very angry. She had originally wanted to inquire about Ye Ding Zhi's news, but now there was no result.
Bai Li Dong Jun explained that he had gone to Bai Hua Lou, and Yue Yao got even angrier, scolding him for being shameless. Si Kong Chang Feng came back disheveled, and everyone assumed something had happened between him and the young lady. In fact, Feng Qiu Yu had always missed her brother Wei Luo Li; when she was young, her family had been wiped out, and it was her master who helped her escape.
On the way, she encountered Wei Luo Li, but later her master took him away, and she never saw him again.
The emperor, after learning that Bai Li Dong Jun wanted to take Qiu Lu Bai's matter, had Li Chang Sheng come to him, ostensibly to thank him for saving Ye Ding Zhi, but in reality to warn him not to mess with Bai Li Dong Jun.
Li Chang Sheng directly refused the emperor's request to see Bai Li Dong Jun, and even gave the grand overseer a heavy blow, making his attitude clear. The national teacher tried to stop Li Chang Sheng, but failed. Li Chang Sheng overcame various obstacles and came to the palace gate again, once more reminding the emperor not to mess with Bai Li Dong Jun.
