Episode 22 recap: Bai Li Dong Jun and Si Kong Chang Feng Challenge the Ascending Heaven Pavilion
In episode 22, Luo Shui was still bothered by Li Chang Sheng's departure years ago, even though they had made plans together that never materialized. During dinner, Li Chang Sheng opened up to Bai Li Dong Jun, saying that back then he had intended to settle down with Luo Shui and had kept nothing from her.
Luo Shui also asked Li Chang Sheng a sensitive question - how many wives he had taken over his lifetime. Li Chang Sheng honestly admitted to three, which upset Luo Shui, as women usually hope their man's heart belongs to them alone.
Yue Yao, listening in, was also curious about Bai Li Dong Jun's thoughts. Li Chang Sheng, in turn, wanted to know how female minds worked. Yue Yao said she just wanted to find someone who would love her wholeheartedly. This troubled Li Chang Sheng, and Yue Yao's next words surprised him even more - she predicted that Luo Shui would guess Li Chang Sheng had even more wives.
Sure enough, Luo Shui did voice that very suspicion. Bai Li Dong Jun shook his head, remarking that women's minds were intricate. Yue Yao then asked Bai Li Dong Jun if he would love her for this lifetime, and Bai Li Dong Jun said he would, though he couldn't speak for future lifetimes.
Si Kong Chang Feng also chimed in, saying his views were similar. When it was Li Chang Sheng's turn to appease Luo Shui, he simply said he had lost count of his number of wives, which certainly infuriated Luo Shui.
The next day, the group arrived at the Ascending Heaven Pavilion, where skilled martial artists guarded each level, making the climb increasingly difficult. Li Chang Sheng easily leapt to the top floor, looking even younger than a decade ago. He then used an iron-head technique to burst through the ceiling, standing atop the pavilion and calling out Luo Shui's name. He promised that in this lifetime, and every lifetime after, he would love only her, Nan Gong Chun Shui.
Luo Shui joined him, admitting her cultivation had waned, but from now on they would be together for life. Deep down, she had always loved only Li Chang Sheng. Though a bit regretful, she felt it was all worth it. She urged Li Chang Sheng to resume his training, but he firmly said he had no regrets about giving it up.
The two people walked away hand in hand, leaving Bai Li Dong Jun and Si Kong Chang Feng, the master disciples, happily delighted.
Luo Shui decided to go with Li Chang Sheng, while Bai Li Dong Jun and the others were still outside the city gate, trying to climb up the Ascend to Heaven Pavilion step by step.
Yue Yao assigned this task to Bai Li Dong Jun and Si Kong Chang Feng, and she withdrew first. The two of them quickly reached the first floor, but it became more and more difficult the higher they went. By the time they reached the fifteenth floor, they found that the experts on the fifteenth and sixteenth floors were all waiting for them, and even though the two of them worked together, they were still beaten badly.
Si Kong Chang Feng wanted to admit defeat, but he was beaten even worse. The opponent even taunted them, saying that he could defeat them with just one finger, and as a result, the two of them were directly thrown off the building. Bai Li Dong Jun directly accused Li Chang Sheng of digging this trap.
On the other side, Ye Ding Zhi sought advice from Yan Ling Xia, and although she accepted the challenge, she didn't go easy on him either.
Ye Ding Zhi didn't resent her, and he even roasted a chicken for her to eat. They agreed to continue the next day. When Ye Ding Zhi left, he encountered Yue Qing, who wanted to recruit him, but was rejected. Ye Ding Zhi noticed the resemblance between Yue Qing and Yin Luo Xia, and suspected that Yin Luo Xia was just Yue Yao's alias.
He clearly stated that he would not go with Yue Qing, and he even used a knife to cut off tree branches to block the path before leaving.
Yue Yao heard that Bai Li Dong Jun and Si Kong Chang Feng were injured, so she hurried to visit them and personally applied medicine. In the evening, when the two of them were chatting, Si Kong Chang Feng expressed that even though he didn't know his origins, he was content with his current peaceful life.
Bai Li Dong Jun, on the other hand, discovered that he had developed feelings for Yue Yao, but he didn't know that she was the same person as the senior sister.
