Yeah, more or less.
Just as Gexiao is about to give Hala the map for Guo's relese, Hu comes barging in and ruins everything with his usual Hu-ness, so they have to fight their way out. Hu is tasked with getting Guo out of the place and we get to have our Sanniang Moment Of Hotness!!
Damn....!
Anyways, everyone escapes after Gexiao leaves the map behind, but he had altered the map so they would end up attacking the wrong places and get slaughtered.
Cut to the opening of a restaurant that Hu used most of his money on opening for Guo, Shuangshuang, and Yan to run and have a decent life. Shuangshuang (and boy am I glad I'll never have to type that again! I hope I didn't just jinx myself) gets Hu alone in the kitchen, so of course the other members of Yi Zhi Mei make with the eavesdropping. She then drops a bomb on him.
Hu...you ARE the father!!! But since Hu is a good guy and Guo has been her father her entire life, he doesn't want to get in the way, and that wraps this arc up...which means we get a new arc, and this one is Xiaomei's!
I don't know how it is in China, but in Japan, summertime is the time for ghosts and spooky shit. This arc is definitely full of the spooky shit! It all starts with a legend from 100 years ago about a guy who used some supernatural whammy to kill a dozen or so wankers and either became an evil murderous spirit, or went into the Deep Mountains and transcended to Heaven or something. Yi Zhi Mei hear about a crew of assholes swindling people using the superstition around the legend for profit, but Xiaomei was tapped to perform an opera for the ghosts, so they split up.
While Xiaomei was performing a couple of people were standing in the rain watching him. After the performance, the boss came back and told Xiaomei that someone had bought the opera and gave it to him. (??) The person who did that was...
Turns out that Xiaomei's real name is Yunhu and he's inherting a big deal in the mountains and Ying is his cousin, escorting his grandfather who's been on the hunt for him. This of course means that grandpa is going to spit blood as he dies and Xiaomei goes to escort his body home.
And home is a CREEPY place, run by a sternfaced woman with all kinds of rules about what's allowed and what isn't. His great-aunt is also a scary looking character. Hell, they won't even let him send a pigeon to let Yi Zhi Mei know that he's alright.
Episode wraps with Xiaomei fainting after he's awakened by some noises to see the talismens on the wall dripping blood and feet dangling from the ceiling!
I love a good scary story and hope this doesn't turn out to be all Scooby Doo.
