More plans

In this episode, Yin Xue seems to be back in play, Ji persuades Lei to visit Ge'er, Ge'er continues to develop her counterattack, and we have something of a mind freak in a flashback of Anye Luo....

1)Ge'er continues to explore the Pear Quarters after Miss D leaves.  The dead trees are beginning blossom....and she takes away a branch from Yin Xue's room.  I guess to grow it?  The blooming blossoms give her hope that there is still time to fix things.

2)Joaqin, MW, has hair as white as Dong Hua and is very weak.  He meets the wife of the town leader he is in who offers to assist him if he needs help and then he panics, believing his mentor has left him.  then Yin Xue saunters in typical fashion, and Joaqin says he will go buy rice, and Yin Xue tells him to get wine as well.  While they eat, Yin Xue angrily lectures Joaqin for depleting all of his inner force to bring him back.  Yin Xue now has a 1/3 of his power and complains that if they run into Anye Luo they will both die.  

3)Back at the villa, Uncle Murong visits Ge'er.  He tells her that Dark River Palace is stirring, and is now out in the open.  She tells him all the mishaps of late are traced to them.  Uncle Murong reveals that during the battle between the Villa and Dark River, flame villa won, so Dark River became the enemy of everyone and they were hunted down (this is to emphasize that good and evil may be determined more by strength and power and less by morality).  She asks about Anye Luo, and he reports that Anye Luo was untamed and arrogant, wore clothes of bloodred and was basically a monster.  She wonders if Anye Luo is behind her father's death, and Murong says he believes it might be possible.   She asks if her father ever asked him to silently watch Feng, and it seems that yes, yes he did and knew all about the Thunderbreak Manor incident--he just kept giving him chances.  Currently he reports the minor pugilist sects are watching the three great sects and hoping that they destroy one another.  She reveals that she is looking for an opportunity to prove Lei's innocence.

4)After he leaves, she states that Murong visited because of the 9th festival.  MW, Feng continues his super annoying behavior of bothering Ge'er with medicine.  It is like watching a repeat of the King's Woman--he just does awful things and thinks that he can still have some sort of relationship with the FL.  Back at the capital, the emperor lavishes praise on Yu and then Feng reports to Anye Luo: 33 sects support Flame Villa, 19 are with Thunderclap and 20 are hesitant, all of which is good news to him.  He reveals that the blue sapphire earring he wears belonged to his mother, whom he says was the most wonderful woman alive.  In a flashback, we see a woman who looks just like Ge'er embraced by a young Anye Luo; he says that she is the best big sister and hopes to marry her (they are not really related).  MIND FREAK.

5)MW, Ji is able to visit Lei, who initially believes he has harmed Die Yi once he shows him the star sign.  He gains his trust and Lei agrees to meet Ge'er, however phoenix is furious and says that he is walking to his death (I sort of agree).  He tells her that this is his last opportunity to protect his name, and no, he is not going there to see Miss D because it would cause trouble for her.  Anyways, the plan is that JI will create a fake fight to distract the eyes of those looking for him, and he will then have a chance to see Ge'er.

6)The episode ends with the noodle man--the same one who Yin Xue and Ge'er ate with way back when--reporting rumors that the flame lord was actually evil, framed the Dark River Palace, and now that they are out of hiding they are actually good.  Bwahahaha.
