Episode 8 recap: Bai Li Dong Jun Provoked by Students of the Academy
In episode 8, Bai Li Dong Jun stood on high ground, gazing out at the city of Qian Dong. The grand city he once thought of as his hometown now seemed so small in his eyes. Weary from the journey, he sat together with Xiao Ruo Feng's group. He had come to the city of Tian Qi to study, with the determination to one day personally deal with those lawless individuals responsible for his master Tian Wai Xian's death.
Lei Meng Sha introduced Xiao Ruo Feng to Bai Li Dong Jun on the journey, telling him that he was the most outstanding disciple under Master Li. However, Bai Li Dong Jun was not intimidated, his heart filled only with a thirst for power and an obsession for revenge.
Liu Yue received a letter from her master, learning that Bai Li Dong Jun would soon arrive, and began pondering the examination questions. She looked forward to meeting the new student.
After seven days of travel, Bai Li Dong Jun's group finally arrived in Tian Qi city. Xiao Ruo Feng decided to enter the palace first, while Lei Meng Sha took Bai Li Dong Jun into the city.
Bai Li Dong Jun was full of curiosity about this unfamiliar city, his gaze sparkling with anticipation for the future.
On the mountaintop, Yue Yao and Yue Qing were enjoying hot pot when the arrival of Mo Qi Xuan interrupted their idle chat. He told Yue Yao that Bai Li Dong Jun had arrived in Tian Qi and would soon be taking the academy's entrance exam.
Yue Yao recalled her first meeting with Bai Li Dong Jun, a surge of unnamed emotions welling up within her. She had once told him that she would find him when he became famous, and now she wondered if she would still be able to wait for that day.
As soon as Bai Li Dong Jun entered the academy, he accidentally tripped and fell.
At that moment, Li Chang Sheng, the academy's master, was sitting on the rooftop drinking. He came down and told Bai Li Dong Jun that he had already walked half the path in Tian Qi, but the rest of the way he would have to walk on his own. Li Chang Sheng gently touched Bai Li Dong Jun's forehead, causing him to collapse unconscious.
When Bai Li Dong Jun awoke, his head was pounding. Lei Meng Sha told him that the one who had knocked him out was Li Chang Sheng, who might become his new master. Lei Meng Sha explained that the academy's entrance exam was fiercely competitive, and only the top student would become Li Chang Sheng's personal disciple.
Although Bai Li Dong Jun was worried about his own abilities, with Lei Meng Sha's encouragement, he decided to give it his all.
At the casino, the Manager dispatched people to investigate the backgrounds of the people Xiao Ruo Feng had brought. Tian Wai Xian's emissary also learned of Yue Yao's trip to Tian Qi and sent people to secretly protect her.
Although surprised that his companion had informed the emissary of Yue Yao's whereabouts, Mo Qi Xuan understood that their main goal was to restore their homeland.
While practicing his sword, Bai Li Dong Jun felt his strength was insufficient, unable to perform the Xishu Sword Song no matter how hard he tried. Suddenly, a masked figure appeared on the rooftop, mocking Bai Li Dong Jun's abilities.
Bai Li Dong Jun refused to back down, drawing his sword to confront the figure. However, he realized his inner cultivation was far inferior to his opponent's. Bai Li Dong Jun recognized that Tian Qi was hiding many formidable figures, and he still had a long way to go to improve his skills.
Ye Ding Zhi returned to his former residence, unexpectedly finding Bai Li Dong Jun there. Bai Li Dong Jun had thought Ye Ding Zhi was dead and had come to pay his respects. He shared his aspiration with Ye Ding Zhi - to become a renowned immortal of wine and sword. Ye Ding Zhi, hidden in the shadows, heard these words, his heart stirring with emotion.
