Episode 17 recap: Liu Yue Uncovers Yue Yao's Identity
In episode 17, Ji Ruo Feng learned from his subordinates that they still had no information about Si Kong Chang Feng, but the reputation of the Bai Xiao Tang was not to be taken lightly, so there must be some clues. Meanwhile, Bai Li Dong Jun was standing outside the academy, undecided about whether to go in or not. Just then, Li Chang Sheng happened to appear and called out to the departing Si Kong Chang Feng.
Over at Lei Meng Sha's place, he had just returned from Bai Hua Lou when he was caught red-handed by his wife, who made him kneel at the door, while his younger daughter took delight in the scene. Lei Meng Sha tried to apologize and play the victim, hoping to avoid punishment, but his wife was determined to make him submit.
Just as things were getting awkward, Li Chang Sheng arrived, and Li Han Yi also came forward, saying she wanted to learn martial arts from Li Chang Sheng to protect her father. Li Chang Sheng saw through it all and smiled, looking at Lei Meng Sha's wife, who quickly explained that he had just accompanied the daughters. She then left with the daughters, and Lei Meng Sha had escaped the ordeal.
Li Chang Sheng recalled Lei Meng Sha's past visits to the academy when he was younger, remarking that he had now become accomplished and was about to leave Xue Tao. In fact, Lei Meng Sha was aware of this, which was why he had his daughters take their mother's surname, hoping they would be safe.
Li Chang Sheng knew that Lei Meng Sha and his group were determined to protect the world, and while the path was difficult, someone had to walk it.
On the other side, Ye Ding Zhi discussed an important matter with his master, Yu Sheng Mo, and learned of Li Chang Sheng's impending departure from Tian Qi City, so he decided to cultivate the Demon Immortal Sword.
As for Si Kong Chang Feng and Bai Li Dong Jun, they were drinking on the rooftop, chatting about the wind, rain, and autumn. Si Kong Chang Feng only remembered that Feng Qiu Yu had mentioned his brother, but couldn't recall anything else. Bai Li Dong Jun was in no hurry to brew the wine, saying he would wait for the right moment.
On Yue Yao's side, Mo Qi Xuan suddenly visited and informed them of his impending departure, admitting that the incident involving Ye Ding Zhi was their doing. Yue Yao reflected on her own wavering, and decided to protect Bai Li Dong Jun. Afterward, she went to see Liu Yue, who had already uncovered her identity. After a discussion, Liu Yue promised to support her no matter what.
Yue Qing was bored in the absence of her sister, and the sudden appearance of Wu Xiang caught her off guard, as it turned out he had already known her identity. Yue Qing was shocked to learn that her sister would not be returning to Tian Wai Xian. Yue Yao sought answers from Liu Yue, feeling that her previous thoughts might have been wrong. Liu Yue encouraged her to follow her heart and find the true answer.
Yue Qing looked at her mother's hairpin, feeling conflicted, unsure if she and her sister had already diverged on different paths. But the fire of revenge in her heart had never been extinguished. Liu Yue learned of Li Chang Sheng's impending departure and requested that he take Yue Yao with him, to which Li Chang Sheng agreed.
Bai Li Dong Jun was focused on brewing the most unique and extraordinary wine in the world. He recalled his master's words and was struck by inspiration. Despite working until late at night, he still hadn't found the most heartless wine he had in mind. Yue Yao silently accompanied him, watching as he drank himself to sleep. Meanwhile, even the emperor now dared not to provoke Li Chang Sheng, but secretly hoped someone could be of use to him. So, he sent someone to find Xiao Xie.
Before long, Bai Li Dong Jun's competition with his teacher was about to begin, and the people were gathered to watch. Bai Li Dong Jun led his fellow disciples into the arena, and the contest about wine and martial arts was about to commence. Who would emerge victorious in this battle of honor?
