this isn't a comedy but i laughed so much…

this isn't a comedy but i laughed so much throughout this ep. Fan Xiao is freakin certifiable, he's playing cat & mouse games with Shu Lang. i didn't get what he was trying to do, almost outing the fact that Zhen lied to Shu Lang & was out meeting someone else. then at the last moment he changed his mind - why?!? i get he wants to break Shu Lang, he wants to see his ugly side & that's why he keeps playing game's with him. but then why at the last moment have a change of heart?! ******************btw Zhen needs to stop being tempted by a stranger & hold onto someone who really cares for him - but after he lied to Shu Lang, when he knew they planned a trip to get married, i donno how much he deserves someone like Shu Lang. *****************& Fan Xiao drugging Zhen cause he wanted to recreate the scene with Shu Lang - dude crazy. cause the way Zhen was acting he didn't need drugs to get into bed with Fan Xiao. but just cause he wanted Shu Lang he needed to try & recreate that scenario. crazy. btw i am happy that he stopped at he hickeys, even though seeing the evidence of what he did the day after was shocking - like i keep saying dude certifiable.... LOL

Prepping for WuShuang duel

The leader of WuShuang is getting his affairs in order. He plans on using his life to save the city. I do not completely get his loyalty to his first but not so bright disciple. He even wants the youth to be in his care. He is constantly at war with himself to do the right thing and his mentor sees this as his virtue. The owner of the gambling hall has intentions of rising in rank but so far is being held back. He wants to see WuShuang and the leader fall. I don’t know if he has a mastermind behind him or not but he is a thorn that doesn’t mind trouble. There has been an invitation for every martial artist that wants to see the show. It will make things crowded but hopefully keep things calmer about getting a coveted WuShuang token. Uncle Zhe and Doc Bai have arrived and Changhe has been dealing with swordsman hunting Muyu. They have all collected in one place and Doc Bai pulls out her 5 poison bugs to negate the poison array over the city. It is set to send civilians unconscious and martial artists helpless. In small doses it is not fatal but this seems set to kill and part of a long arranged plan. Our team seems rather calm about everything. Muyu now has swapped the sword for his umbrella. Now waiting to see if she has just made them a small poison free barrier or is working on the whole city. She at least will get some help from Prince Langya that has arrived and noted it. He is currently reading through a scroll on how to counteract it with a candle letting him know how much time is left for him. Rabbit has been allowed free Baixiao intel, but it only says no news of Lianyue’s whereabouts. She is not happy and annoyed at realizing they are letting her do the legwork for them.

Mixers and photo shoots

YuYu exercising.😂🤣 Nine reps put him out of commission. 😂😝 Dr Gu bargains with dad to go to a blind date mixer in exchange for two months of peace. She ropes the neighbor into going with her. She also makes a wager with YuYu on getting a date at and after mixer. While there YuYu runs into the staff photographer. They are both foodies and camera enthusiasts so the actually can have a nice conversation and share a meal. There is much talk in their chat group when she takes him home. 😂His talk reminded him of his old camera and he decides to finish the roll taking pics of Dr Gu. He goes to her studio for a photoshoot but it’s not going well. What did turn out nicely was a very pretty pic of Dr Gu.😍The photographer compliments the doc and his camera technique. She suggests a photo shoot at his studio. He agrees but banishes everyone from the office. They really wonder what’s up when he took down his very prominent photo and said it didn’t capture the real him. While his photo shoot is in progress his staff has to show up. It ends up with a group photo. 😂🤣This drama is so enjoyable. We get to watch them all intermingle and how they impact each other’s day. They all hate how he speaks but they also rally around him to see what he’s up to and how doing. Even the neighbor said nobody other than YuYu was especially interesting to talk to at the mixer. They like him in spite of himself and they’re a good group of friends to watch. You can just chill out with their vibe and enjoy the show.

Battle won and challenge made

I am relieved that the old geezer’s technique caused the change in style for Muyu. This is where he strayed from the path of the sword — victory at all cost. He did not see Muyu capable of holding his hate in check. Unfortunately at the end Muyu used his 18 sword technique which revealed his tie to Blood River. And that the peerless sword itself deflected the fatal blow. That was interesting. I understand why he wants the banner gone as well as the old man. The city leader has no alternative but to accept the challenge. I like him and hope he finds a way to be spared tho losing battle. The youth he mentors needs him in spite of his opinion on the matter. Changhe is amused and annoyed at the buzz around Muyu. He will show up at an opportune time for them to work together. Rabbit is still looking for Lianyue and this duel has caught her interest. The gambling house is visited by the city leader because there is too much interest in the duel. The leader of gambling house thinks he will stab the city leader and gets corrected. The two princes are moving their chess pieces and speculationg on how to proceed and who to use. I am enjoying the prince who played a fake general hold his own this drama. I don’t know that I want either of these two winning, but they will hold sway in how the game is played. I liked Muyu and father talking and Muyu getting his father’s approval but also guidance to let it go when this duel is finished. I wanted Muyu to uphold his father’s principles to beat them and he has managed to do that. I want Muyu to win but the WuShuang leader to keep his honor He points to the right direction and has honor his mentors do not have. The old man recognizes he made evil choices and bound his best disciple with too many obligations. I don’t really hold his words of any value, but his disciple wanted to honor him while rejecting his evil path. Muyu did well letting this happen.

Challenges met

That spear shattering when the leader tried to pick it up was kinda awesome. The message has been sent and the warning has been issued. Changhe also meets his challenger head on. The three families want no part of nameless leadership. Did he speak truth that those with the other side simply want to displace old leadership rather than the ideals of a new Blood River? That question remains to be answered. Whoever is the mastermind now sees Changehe’s response in bodies. Muyu has taken his real name and fights for vengeance for his father. I would have liked to see the battle of the one master who is mentor of the youth, but the old guy who helped bring cause the downfall of Swordless village stepped in. I am not sure if it honors his father forsaking the way of the sword to go full assassin. Muyu’s anger might be in the way here. He has a righteous cause but I am not sure his father would agree with his methods here. It truly takes a lot to piss Muyu off, but this has been his pet peeve since he learned the truth of his village’s massacre. This duel settles that old score and he has agreed to keep the new WuShuang out of it. That is actually fair as they don’t know the true history of how they received the sword techniques. The fact that the one master used his four best disciples to sharpen his skills rather than having them become true masters says how low the level has fallen. They at least see how they were duped and may now head a different course where they become true masters. The battle is raging and both are quite equal. I want to see Muyu kick his royal ass but I also want him to do it with honor as his father would. Waiting to see if he gets beyond his rage in next episode.
