Ah Nu and Drunken Sword Immortal reconcile with the fact that they're daughter and father. Of course, DSI wants to celebrate by going out drinking!
Ain't noting wrong with that!
So after getting kicked out of the drinking establishment, they both pass out on the street, but Ah Nu is like a boss and wakes up before her drunk ol' man and she puts one of those red stings of fate around the both of them (middle finger, read into that if you want to) and then takes off. She then runs into Head Priest who tells her that Tang Yu is still alive and that he wants to play a game to prove the existence of true undying love. That seems to be a big thing with Head Priest and this couple. Bottomless pit, buried to their necks....the guy has a thing for forcing them to prove their love in various nefarious ways.
Ah Nu is up for the challenge after seeing Tang Yu laid out and Head Priest does something to her and it seems that she's been turned evil. Evil Ah Nu is kinda hot, I must say...
She even stabs Tang Yu with a poison dipped blade! Well, Head Priest is all, "You're too mischievous" but I for one don't buy that. It was totally something he did. Now, Tang Yu has the choice to let Head Priest help him or die if he doesn't cut both arms off. Because of how Head Priest killed Old Rock, Tang Yu would have nothing to do with it and blew his own arms off! It was pretty punk fucking rock of him.
On his way out, Tang saw Number 7 all Lunar Sect (fuck 'em in the neck) now and that just added one more thing to the list of shit he's got to tell everybody. Ling'er and Saintess try to heal him but can't because of something from Head Priest that's preventing it.
Ling'er and Xiao split (well Xiao kinda forces Ling'er to leave the city with him) while Drunken Sword Immortal and Saintess go to rescue their daughter Ah Nu. When Saintess declares that Ah Nu is indeed her daughter, the Emperor's men come to arrest her for adultery. Meanwhile, Ling'er and Xiao talk to the monument of Qing'er and the statue learns Xiao some shit about being a descendant of Nv Wu, so they decide to head back after a visit to some rhododendrons for Grandma. A pair of palanquins arrive to take them back to the capital out of nowhere and the episode wraps.
So, I really think that the two main themes in this series are love and faith. The things that people will do for love and the crises surrounding having faith in Tao and how that sometimes is counter to what real life throws at you.
