Things Are Not Looking Good for Team Fire Still

In this episode, Yin Xue proposes to Ge'er and a huge obstacle appears in the relationship of Lei and Miss D largely due to Lei murdering her brother, Wu Hen, in revenge, and Anye Luo puts forth considerable effort to recruit Yu.

1)We open to a very ill Yin Xue who chooses to propose to Ge'er instead of seeking a healer.  She uses her body to warm him.  Elsewhere, Phoenix, Jie, Lei, and Miss travel as she escorts them away from their pursuers.  When they encounter Top Blade soldiers, they avoid killing anyone by freezing pressure points.  Unfortunately, Wu Hen finds them.  She protects her friends and lover and begs Wu Hen to let them go, but Wu Hen's answer is extremely logical--if we let them escape, then we will be executed by Anye Luo.

2)In spite of Lei's promise to run today and fight later, Lei is unable to miss this opportunity to avenge his fallen Thunderclap sect disciples and father (Top Blade is basically on Team Evil, and Team Evil killed his father).  Someone from the shadows throws a ball that causes Wu Hen to stumble.  As a result of trying to both fend off Lei and maintain his balance, Wu Hen stumbles, and falls backwards, and hits his head on a rock.  He landed in just the right way that he was basically instantly killed, but this being a C Drama, he first dramatically coughed up blood before dying in his sister's arms.  Xun Yi emerges from the shadows, revealing herself as the one who distracted Wu Hen.

3)Thinks are not looking too good for our lovers.  Miss D is in shock, and devastated by the loss of her brother who in spite of all of his flaws, was not without humanity like Anye Luo.  He loved his sister, she loved him, and she takes her pain out on the source of his death--Lei--whom she accuses of murder.  Lei insists it was an accident, and begs her to flee with him, but she refuses, insisting her brothers both spoiled and protected her.  He says (rather selfishly and with bad timing) to forget her surname and join him.  But obviously she cannot.  Xun Yi basically drags him away and Miss D is left alone.

4)Jie reveals to Xun Yi that his eyes were taken by Anye Luo,  Xun Yi briefly takes the time to kill leave and kill the Dark River disciples with her (how is it that Dark River has not run out of people, they are killed constantly, and why are they all female??).  Lei has a moment of clarity and finds it odd that Xun Yi was able to find them so quickly and without trouble and believes she works for Yi Lang.  Given that he has been betrayed by most everyone, this is a reasonable assumption.  Xun Yi is very defensive and finally admits that she is his half sister, that she deliberately misled him to believe Die Yi was his sister.  So now they know that Anye Jue is her mother, and she admits she is hear because Anye Jue does not want him dead.

5)Unsurprisingly, learning that she is actively working with Dark River sends everyone over the edge, but not as hard as Jie who loses it.  He calls her an evil witch and throws her away, breaks up with her, expresses anger because he wanted to marry her, and Xun Yi, like a broken martyr, tells him to be safe and to not return to flame villa and even though she works for Dark River she loves him, and that is when she learns that Anye Jue took his eyes....

6)MW, Wu Xia arrives and is shocked--and furious--to see Wu Hen dead.  Miss D takes responsibility, and for the first time Wu Xia is really angry with her and shoves her away,  He vows revenge against Thunderclap.  What follows is an interlude and we learn that Thunderclap, which has taken a lot of hits, is basically wiped out in a bloodbath by Wu Xia.,

7)Anye Luo confronts Anye Jue over Lei slipping away again.  She admits that she sent Xun Yi to take care of this and retrieve him and she begs for forgiveness ann for him not to kill her daughter.  Anye Luo tells her that he believes that she fell for her husband, and that she used his son as a surrogate for her daughter who was placed in flame villa as a mole, and tells her that if she does not personally kill Lei then he will kill her daughter.

8)Meanwhile, Lei is quite drunk.  She tries to inspire Lei but he can only drink, and she believes she must have been a fool to pick him and Lei agrees with her.  Bi'er arrives and reports that Ge'er is still missing, body not found, and while Yu is still in the Eastern Sea, they don't know that his subordinates have a stand in pretending to be him while they search for him.

9)MW, Anye Luo tries to recruit Yu.  Yu insists he is a maniac.  Anye Luo reveals his injuries were the result of the empress poisoning his mother, his father's favoirte concubine, and the emperor did nothing because he could not risk offending her family.  Later, his legs were crippled by third prince and he says his father also knew this but did nothing.  As Yu is breaking down, Anye Jue drives in the dagger and twists it--metaphorically--by reminding him that he might have been able to save his beloved Ge'er if he had the use of his legs, but he could only crawl to her and watch her die.  He says as long as he is willing to help him, he will set him free to find her because she could be alive since her body has not been found.  

WELL, knowing Yu's unhealthy obsession, he will probably agree..
