Back at Feng Ming Manor, Cai Cai went to find Xiao Bai to check if there was any progress on the restaurant investigation and he shows her an account book that recorded all of Ba Xian Residence’s dealings. He had gotten it by smashing in the back door and explained to her that desperate times called for desperate measures.
Meanwhile, Leng Ning was alone in her room as she recalled something she had previously said – that she didn’t want to be pretty because she was annoyed by the many shameless men that acted frivolously. A knock then sounded on the door, breaking her out of her thoughts. It was Liu Feng who had come to apologise for making her angry the night before. He presented her with a gift as a sign of his remorse and Leng Ning opened the box to see a set of female clothing. She initially rejected his present and shut the door on him but later creaked the door open and took the box from him wordlessly.
( Leng Ning 2.0 – She’s even started to smile more )
Liu Feng paced anxiously outside Leng Ning’s room as he tried to think of how to compliment her when she came out. When he heard the door open, he spun around and was stunned by what he saw and his fan slipped from his grasp, causing Leng Ning to chuckle. Despite his preparations, his mind became blank and he could only manage “beautiful” as a compliment. Xiao Bai and Cai Cai then came along and showed them Ba Xian Residence’s account books. When Xiao Bai suggested going to Ba Xian Residence to observe, Cai Cai volunteers to follow along, shooting Liu Feng a suggestive glance which he quickly understands and replies with a grateful smile.
Meanwhile, somewhere in a forest, the restaurant’s lady boss was pleading for her life with a still-cloaked Mr Shi. She explains that she had left in a hurry and didn’t think that the righteous good sects would barge into the property. Mr Shi was angry and laments that he should’ve listened to Qiu Yue’s advice and killed her.
CH: “Can we go down the mountain for a stroll?”
Back at Qian Yue Cave, Qiu Yue brings Chun Hua to the field (from Episode 18) and there, after he asks if she was a reincarnated mudfish after seeing her roll around in the grass, Chun Hua asked him what he would be if she were a mudfish reincarnate. Qiu Yue tells her that he would be a white mudfish because he had to be eye catching so that the lascivious little mudfish (Chun Hua) would act frivolously with him. Commenting that she couldn’t possibly let his meticulous planning go to waste, Chun Hua leaned in to kiss him. After pulling away, Chun Hua tells him that she wished they could continue living this kind of life everyday in the future and Qiu Yue pulls her into his embrace before affirming that they would be that way. He then spots a single dandelion (Pu Gong Ying) within his reach and plucks it, commenting that she had previously said that it was her favourite flower. She replies that she now liked the Lotus flower because they bloomed prettily and lived happily, before taking the dandelion and blowing the puffs. She then tells him that she had been feeling terribly stifled recently, asking if they could go down the mountain for a stroll. Qiu Yue agrees with a small smile.
