Episode 11 recap: Qi Xiao Xuan slayed the Bo Yao.
Zhi Xie suddenly entered the room, and everyone in the room held their breath, afraid of being discovered, especially Wang Yu Qian. They noticed that Zhi Xie just touched a few things in the room and then left, thinking that he might not have found anything. Qi Xiao Xuan thought Zhi Xie was cunning and sly. She searched the room and found a strand of Bo Yao's hair on the bed, which was unmistakably from the Bo Yao after identification.
Qi Zi Lu believed that although the Bo Yao was captured many years ago, it had managed to escape. Now it was brazenly appearing, indicating that something unusual was happening. Mrs. Qi (Old lady) also believed that there was a huge conspiracy hidden here. The fact that the Bo Yao had drained people's essence indicated that it had a large group behind it.
Qi Xiao Xuan requested her father's permission to capture the Bo Yao, but Qi Zi Lu pointed out that they hadn't seen the face of this monster and couldn't be sure if it was Elder Zhang. Hu Zi believed that if this person appeared, he would definitely recognize him, but he hadn't seen the true face of the killer.
Zhao Xin Tong claimed that he was directly opposing the Bo Yao's governance, and the scent on the monster was the same as the herbal scent on Lao Zhang. Qi Zi Lu heard his son mention soul grass, but he still didn't believe that Lao Zhang was the monster. Zhi Xie thought they had suspected the wrong person and immediately tried to divert everyone's attention. He also stated that if it really was Lao Zhang, there would be no tolerance.
The group arrived with soldiers, intending to capture Lao Zhang. However, Lao Zhang remained calm. Hu Zi believed that Lao Zhang was pretending. Lao Zhang heard the mention of crucial evidence but showed no signs of fear. Mrs. Qi (Old lady) found it suspicious to discover the monster's hair in Lao Zhang's room. However, Lao Zhang remained calm and refused to admit it.
Hu Zi became very agitated when Lao Zhang accused them of trespassing and even showed his arm to prove that he was not the Bo Yao. Wang Yu Qian wanted Lao Zhang to prove himself by walking through flames, but Lao Zhang said that his hand would be crippled if he did so and extended his hand into the flames.
Qi Xiao Xuan suffered a disastrous defeat and was imprisoned in a dungeon. Lao Zhang gloated to himself. Mrs. Qi (Old lady) actually knew that Lao Zhang was the culprit but was frustrated by the lack of evidence to catch him. Mu Dan carefully examined the handkerchief in her hand and, upon hearing that Qi Xiao Xuan had been imprisoned, hurriedly sought someone to find evidence.
After receiving the news, many wandering people hurriedly rushed to the scene to search for evidence.
Lao Zhang saw someone entering his room and felt the need to eliminate these people completely to prevent future troubles. Wang Yu Qian, drunk and muttering that Lao Zhang was the murderer, paid no attention to the person watching him nearby.
Mu Dan told Wang Yu Qian that he had evidence and asked him to search for it, but they were intercepted by Lao Zhang on the way. Lao Zhang felt proud that those people were ignorant and had given him an opportunity. He even intended to kill them using his true form. Wang Yu Qian, Qi Xiao Xuan, Hu Zi, Zhao Xin Tong, and others arrived and caught evidence against Lao Zhang.
Qi Xiao Xuan chased after Lao Zhang to a temple but didn't find any traces. Suddenly, Lao Zhang attacked and injured Qi Xiao Xuan. Taking advantage of the situation, Mu Dan saved Qi Xiao Xuan. Qi Xiao Xuan didn't want Mu Dan to intervene and wanted to kill the Bo Yao alone. Mu Dan discovered that the Bo Yao was only pretending to be dead and helped Qi Xiao Xuan by taking the blow, losing her own life in the process.
Qi Xiao Xuan became angry when someone said that all monsters were evil. When he saw the handkerchief that Mu Dan left for him, he remembered the bond he had formed with her. Qi Zi Lu heard that the monsters in the Incineration Tower had disappeared, and everyone was worried and nervous. Qi Xiao Xuan wanted to report this to the Emperor, but the elders were afraid of consequences and disagreed.
Zhi Xie caught the attention of the elders and proposed sealing the city to capture monsters, hoping to retire early. Mrs. Qi (Old lady) felt that the situation was not that simple and cautioned her grandson to be careful. Qi Xiao Xuan informed Hu Zi and Wang Yu Qian that he had to go out for something and asked them to stay safe.
Hu Zi felt that Qi Xiao Xuan's seriousness was imposed on him by those old-fashioned elders and sensed that he was a bit unhappy. Cheng Ji Nian mocked Mu Dan as a monster, but Hu Zi continued to defend Mu Dan.
The more I watch, the more exciting it gets. The initial scenes were a bit dull, but later on, they became more textured. Qi Xiao Xuan, isn't he such an adorable character? I feel like he's so innocent.
Maybe he pretends to be cold like Yan to conceal the fact that he has dual primordial powers. He acts aloof like Yan to hide his true nature. He's actually a cute and innocent young gentleman, isn't he?
