Episode 18 recap: Bai Li Dong Jun Wins the Competition
In episode 18, Liu Yue and Lei Meng Sha were discussing an important matter. It was a lively day in Tianqi City, as all eight young masters had gathered to watch the showdown between Bai Li Dong Jun and Xie Shi to see who could win in a drinking contest. Xie Shi unveiled his Qiu Lu Bai first, and the fragrance was so enticing that people were already feeling intoxicated just from the aroma, without even taking a sip.
Meanwhile, Bai Li Dong Jun was taking his time arriving, and everyone said he was being a coward. But then, Bai Li Dong Jun arrived in a dashing outfit and boldly declared that he would win today.
It turned out that Bai Li Dong Jun had gotten inspiration from drinking with Yue Yao the previous night, and had decided to showcase his skills. He and Si Kong Chang Feng came carrying the wine. When they opened the jars, there were actually four small bottles hidden inside. Bai Li Dong Jun had Yue Yao use her silk to magically arrange the wines on the table - it was his "Seven Star Night Wine."
The judges were amazed after tasting it, praising the wine for evoking memories of youthful days. Even Xiao Ruo Feng was sweating nervously for Bai Li Dong Jun. When it was Xiao Ruo Feng's turn to taste, Bai Li Dong Jun secretly added a special ingredient. After a few cups, Xiao Ruo Feng was invigorated and broke through his bottleneck. The judges lavished praise on Bai Li Dong Jun, and even Xie Shi had to concede defeat. In the end, Bai Li Dong Jun won the competition and happily drank the Qiu Lu Bai, sharing it with Si Kong Chang Feng.
The two went up to receive their awards - Bai Li Dong Jun got the Qiu Lu Bai, and Si Kong Chang Feng got the long spear. But suddenly, a hidden projectile came flying at them, revealed to be the mischief of Xiao Shuo. However, it failed, and Bai Li Dong Jun and Si Kong Chang Feng left with their precious prizes.
When the Emperor heard about this, his subordinates faced a scolding.
Bai Li Dong Jun presented the wine to Li Chang Sheng, who was surprised that Bai Li Dong Jun had won. Si Kong Chang Feng was also leaving, so Bai Li Dong Jun gave him a bottle of wine as they parted ways.
On the carriage, Bai Li Dong Jun let Yue Yao smell the wine and secretly added something to it. He wanted to find the highest point in Tianqi City to leave the wine there for his master to taste.
Yue Yao, seeing the warm family scenes on the streets, became envious, realizing that Tianqi City was not as distant and otherworldly as she had heard. She couldn't help but cry, and Bai Li Dong Jun offered to take her back home.
At the Immortal Guiding Pavilion, Bai Li Dong Jun left the wine at the highest point of Tianqi City, fulfilling his master's wish. The Emperor guessed that the wine was for Li Chang Sheng.
Yue Qing waited and waited, saddened that her sister had not returned. Yu Sheng Mo and Ye Ding Zhi continued their journey, with Yu Sheng Mo saying he would teach Ye Ding Zhi even more powerful techniques.
It turned out that Bai Li Dong Jun had placed the wine at the highest point because it was his master's last wish. His master had made a pact with his lover to drink wine together, but sadly that day never came. They had agreed that whichever one passed away first, the other would leave the wine at the highest place. This was a heartbreaking scene.
As they were walking, Ji Ruo Feng suddenly appeared and blocked their path. Seeing that he was bullying his master, Bai Li Dong Jun immediately engaged him in combat. Just then, Xiao Ruo Feng also arrived...
