Episode 16 recap: Xing Zhi wholeheartedly protects Shen Li.
Shen Li and Xing Zhi went together to find the entrance to the mortal realm. They searched for a long time but found no trace. It was Xing Zhi who used one of Shen Li's hairs to dispel the darkness, instantly revealing the entrance to the mortal realm. As they entered the mortal realm, a malevolent aura filled the air, and there were sinister beings everywhere. Shen Li, brave and skilled in battle, quickly defeated a group of malevolent creatures. The last one revealed that the left side held the prison for the earthly immortals, while the mastermind was hiding on the right side. Shen Li entrusted the task of rescuing the earthly immortals to Xing Zhi and went to confront the evil on the right side.
Now, rumors are spreading throughout the mortal realm that someone from her spirit world is causing trouble, tarnishing the reputation of her spirit tribe. Shen Li naturally cannot let this go. Finally, Shen Li encountered the mastermind behind the scenes, Fu Sheng, who was clearly a mortal. Shen Li then understood the whole situation. Fu Sheng had manipulated one of her generals, Zixia. Although everyone thought Zixia had already sacrificed himself, he had been deceived by Fu Sheng, who used malevolent energy to confuse Zixia's mind, turning him into an accomplice of evil.
Shen Li couldn't bear to harm her own subordinate. Fu Sheng took advantage of her compassion and choked her, nearly killing her. Xing Zhi arrived just in time and, seeing his beloved almost meet her demise, became enraged. He immediately froze the entrance to the mortal realm, causing all the malevolent creatures to freeze in place. The miasma gradually dissipated, and the rescued innocent people cheered and prayed for blessings.
Xing Zhi held the severely injured Shen Li in his arms and comforted her, urging her to rest and recover. With him around, both the spirit realm and the mortal realm would be safe from any harm. Hearing Xing Zhi's words, Shen Li was deeply moved. She had always exerted herself to protect others, but today someone was going to spare no effort in protecting her.
Jing Yan carefully took care of Shiluo, the woman affected by the miasma. Seeing Jing Xi and Furong getting close and helping the poisoned people heal, he couldn't help but feel jealous. He walked up to them and reminded Jing Xi to maintain a distance from Furong. Xing Zhi carried the unconscious Shen Li back to the academy. Furong, who was used to seeing the mighty King Bicang, felt uneasy seeing her frail and motionless on the bed. Xing Zhi immediately asked Furong to return to the fairy realm. The recent mysterious capture of many earthly immortals was concerning. Although he had just eliminated their archenemy, he didn't know if there were other accomplices, so it was important to inform the fairy realm as soon as possible.
Furong knew that Jing Xi had been harmed by Jing Yan in her past life. To help this innocent and pitiful girl, Furong decided to present herself as a love rival. As expected, Jing Yan became jealous when he saw Jing Xi constantly around Furong. Jing Xi didn't understand whom Furong had chosen. Jing Yan explained that he had received help from Shiluo when he was young, and their reunion was a way to repay that debt. After understanding the situation, Jing Xi remained silent.
Xing Zhi recognized that this Jing Yan was Qingye. He invited Jing Yan to take a break and awakened his divine power, asking if he knew anything about Fu Sheng. Qingye only remembered that Fu Sheng's past life had been a strategist for the young master and was executed for aiding tyranny.
