Love Better Than Immortality

BUSTED?

( CH Faking a fainting spell )

At the poem meet, Cai Cai said that if she really had to choose between love and righteousness, she would give up love. Chun Hua protests that that would make her a heartless person but Xiao Bai agreed with her so Chun Hua quickly volunteered to present a poem instead, inserting herself between Xiao Bai and Cai Cai. She first presented a poem about rice, to which everyone clapped halfheartedly. Excited about the applause, she went for a second one that turned out to be a poem Liu Feng had written when he was seven. She then tried a third and fourth one, not completing them because they weren’t suitable. A fifth poem came to mind and she presented it proudly “春华秋月何时了” (When will the Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon end). Everyone immediately drew their swords at her and she quickly feigned fainting. Liu Feng checked her pulse and knew that she was acting so he pretended to know acupuncture but before he could stab a needle into her, Chun Hua woke up screaming. Making an excuse that she wasn’t feeling well, Chun Hua returned to the inn by herself. After the poem meet had ended, Xiao Bai, Liu Feng, Cai Cai and Leng Ning were about to leave when they were stopped by a group of people from the poem meet who demanded an explanation for Chun Hua’s words. Xiao Bai defended her, saying that Chun Hua wasn’t from their circle so she didn’t know any better and that she had no fault. The fault lay in the two words, Qiu Yue. After a short debate, Liu Feng appeased them by saying that he had invited some ladies to play music for them. When the group of men finally left, Liu Feng ushered Cai Cai and Leng Ning into the carriage before showing Xiao Bai a scroll that he had up his sleeve.

Meanwhile, Qiu Yue and Fu Lou’s conversation continue, with Qiu Yue completing Chun Hua’s problematic poem “春花秋月何时了 往事知多少” (?). Fu Lou then questioned if he had someone that he cared about, to which Qiu Yue replied that the person had already died, before taunting Fu Lou by saying that it seems like the person he cared for was at death’s door and waiting for the Longevity Fruit, questioning if that person was his former teacher’s wife that he had kidnapped. Qiu Yue then quickly flew away and Feng Qian Wei came. Fu Lou told Feng Qian Wei that he didn’t have a problem with him killing the Medical Sage but he won’t be that easy to deal with. At this, Feng Qian Wei looked around in panic and told Fu Lou not to make unfounded accusations. Fu Lou then threatens him by asking what the good sects would say if they knew about this. A fight ensued, only ending when Feng Qian Wei was held at weapon point and conceded by telling Fu Lou that they could talk things out. Fu Lou asked for him to bring Chun Hua before him.
