They won’t work if you put space between the exclamation mark and the text and they also only work for one paragraph at a time.

Unfortunately Viki doesn't let us take screenshots and I am very unhappy about that 😞. And Reddit has bugs when I upload pics anyway, so no images to illustrate ! 😞 😞

Recap

- Zhan Zhao infiltrates the pavilion with the help of Yue Shi.

- He Bo/Jing Yi Ming wants to become the leader of all the Jiang Hu organisations and plan to force them at his birthday banquet and poison the leaders.

- Zhan Zhao attacks him but fails to arrest him and to free Yu Lian. He escapes by the secret tunnels, helped by Ding Zhao Hui.

- Mrs Jing is against the actions of her evil husband and takes care of Yu Lian, but he brutalises them.

- Jing Yi Ming is the one who killed Zhao Hui's father. He's staying at his place in order to gather evidences of his crimes and find his sister Yue Hua.

- Ling Long goes to see her best friend, the young master of the Tang sect, a poison expert, to give him the poison Yemotian for him to find an antidote.

- Bai Yutang comes back and fight Zhan Zhao as he wants to find the corrupted Yicheng magistrate. Ling Long defends Zhan Zhoa, but they are suddenly attacked by Zhi Hua's men.

- They escape to the border of a cliff. Zhi Hua rings his bell and controls Yutang who stab Zhan Zhao and he fells off the cliff !

- Plot twist : it was a trick ! Zhan Zhao and Yutang had reconceiled and the later had only faked being poisoned. And Zhan Zhao is only slightly hurt. (Who die falling from a cliff anyway ?? XD)

- Zhan Zhao infiltrates the Jing manor with the help of Mrs Jing and Zhao Hui. They manage to let out Yu Lian.

- Yu Tang has managed to steal Zhi Hua's bell and makes the poisoned men attack him. Later Zhi Hua kills the young master Jing (good riddance !).

- Re-plot twist ! Yue Shi is actually Zhao Hui's sister, Yue Hua ! She has infiltrated the Hanshui palace to have a chance to kill Jing Yi Ming.

Personal thoughts

I'm glad Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang have reconceiled. They are stronger when they are togheter with Ling Ling. Them fighting togheter is epic !

I feel relieved that they managed to free Yu Lian and that she wasn't killed, because so far all of their missions had failed and that was frustrating !

Discussion questions

- On 1-10 scale how annoying do you rate Jing Yi Ming ?

- Are you also happy that Zhan Zhao and Yutang are friends again ?

- Did you guessed that Yue Shi was Yue Hua ?

- What are hoping for the next episodes ?

See you in 2 days !

Personal thoughts

I find the drama is getting better and better, and these episodes were interesting and quite intense ! The fights keep being good, especially in the pavilion, the drama has the spirit of old wuxia. I love that there is no whitening filter and the light is natural, it's a nice change comparing to other costume dramas.

Discussion questions :

- What is your opinion of the drama so far ?

- Who is your favourite and least favourite character ?

- What was your favourite scene ?

- Do you think Bai Yutang will betray Zhan Zhao ?
