Flying up without Disturb Episode 3 Recap
> Flying up without Disturb Recap
Master Zhong Xi attempted to heal his injuries by absorbing spiritual energy at Luanfeng Peak, but to his surprise, he felt worse, despite taking medicine. He wondered if only Kong Hou could bring him relief. Meanwhile, Kong Hou was excitedly preparing for her journey down the mountain. Unbeknownst to her, her master, Master Wang Tong, intercepted all flying talisman messages from Master Zhong Xi.
Master Wang Tong harbored deep concerns about Kong Hou's safety if she continued to interact with Master Zhong Xi, whom he regarded as a troublesome individual from the Liuguang Sect. Though sad to see her go, Master Wang Tong knew the journey was vital for her growth. Concerned by Kong Hou's rapid spiritual energy absorption, he feared she might prematurely attempt ascension outside and face lethal thunder strikes without protection.
To mitigate this risk, he sealed several of her key acupoints, a measure Kong Hou reluctantly accepted. Master Zhong Xi, anxious about Kong Hou's silence, sent his attendant Lin Hu to Yunhua Sect to ascertain her well-being. Lin Hu expressed worry about Zhong Xi's injury, attributing it to Jiusu and lamenting that it might impede his ascension, implicitly linking it to Kong Hou.
Zhong Xi dismissed Lin Hu's remarks about his injury but conceded that Kong Hou's unpredictable nature might lead her into trouble, even within her own sect. He then firmly instructed Lin Hu to visit Yunhua Sect. On her departure day, Kong Hou bid farewell to her fellow disciples, including Senior Ling Hui. Her seniors gifted her spirit stones and expressed their reluctance to see her undertake a solo journey.
Master Wang Tong reminded her to remember the magical tools he had taught her to use and to prioritize her self-protection. Soon after Kong Hou departed, Master Wang Tong apprehended Lin Hu. Upon learning that Lin Hu was there on behalf of his "Young Master" to find Kong Hou, Master Wang Tong, furious at Master Zhong Xi's continued attempts to contact Kong Hou, lashed out.
He claimed Kong Hou’s prior interactions with Zhong Xi were merely to enhance her spiritual energy and awaken her natal weapon for her journey. He beat Lin Hu and accused him of fabricating his identity, since he refused to reveal his "Young Master's" name. Lin Hu, battered, returned to Master Zhong Xi, complaining bitterly about the assault and Master Wang Tong's accusations. He recounted Wang Tong's assertion that Kong Hou only sought to boost her spiritual energy through Zhong Xi.
Master Zhong Xi, however, was merely relieved that Kong Hou was safe and had achieved her goal of improving her cultivation. He then decided it was time for him to leave as well. During their travels, Master Zhong Xi and Lin Hu came across a man poisoned by what Lin Hu initially mistook for burdock root.
An old man intervened, identifying the plant as highly toxic wood and swiftly curing the victim by locating and extracting the poison through acupoint analysis, astounding the onlookers. Master Zhong Xi, recognizing the old man's extraordinary medical prowess, approached him for help with his own severe injuries. However, the old man, who Zhong Xi surmised was the renowned Master Huang Qi, arrogantly refused, claiming he could not discern Zhong Xi's cultivation level and therefore would not treat him.
As Zhong Xi and Lin Hu pondered their predicament, Kong Hou suddenly appeared. Having overheard their conversation about Master Huang Qi, she offered to help. Lin Hu was skeptical, but Kong Hou, confident she had a way, insisted they wait until the following day. That evening, as Kong Hou prepared a meal, she asked Zhong Xi his name. To conceal his identity, Zhong Xi gave the false name "Huan Zong."
Kong Hou, noticing his pain, innocently offered her shoulder for him to rest on, assuring him she wouldn't try to absorb his spiritual energy since direct skin contact was required. Later that night, Kong Hou woke "Huan Zong" to show him a field of glowing blue flowers, which he identified as rare Blue Silver Flowers, noting their brief blooming period. The next morning, Kong Hou, "Huan Zong," and Lin Hu went to Master Huang Qi.
Kong Hou, having heard Master Huang Qi disliked handsome men, had deliberately dressed up, believing her "adorable" appearance would be more persuasive. Master Huang Qi, who was receiving a massage, handed Kong Hou a note that read, "I don't save handsome men." Kong Hou then formally introduced herself as a disciple of Yunhua Sect. Master Huang Qi, recognizing her name from Master Wang Tong, found her indeed "adorable."
Kong Hou then launched into a flurry of flattery, praising Master Huang Qi's legendary healing skills and even declaring him the most handsome man in the Lingyou Realm, surpassing both her master and "Huan Zong." Flattered, Master Huang Qi agreed to treat "Huan Zong" but only if they brought him one Blue Silver Flower, a crucial ingredient for a new medicine. Kong Hou excitedly revealed she had collected many the previous night, much to his astonishment.
During the treatment, Master Huang Qi recognized "Huan Zong" as Master Zhong Xi from Liuguang Sect and noted that despite his grave condition from the poison and forceful use of spiritual energy, he had consumed an elixir that temporarily suppressed his pain. Zhong Xi explained that Kong Hou's energy regulation had provided temporary relief, unlike Lin Hu's attempts.
Master Huang Qi then revealed that Zhong Xi and Kong Hou were in a rare cultivation state called "Harmony Sync," where two destined individuals could absorb ambient spiritual energy through contact, although Zhong Xi's high cultivation had made the subtle effect unnoticeable. He clarified that Master Wang Tong had alerted him to this peculiar situation.
Master Huang Qi then revealed that Kong Hou's unstable mental state combined with unrestrained energy absorption had led to three thunder strikes during her trial, which she barely survived thanks to her master and senior disciples shielding her. Understanding the danger this posed to Kong Hou, Master Zhong Xi immediately decided he would no longer regulate energy with her.
Master Huang Qi then announced a ten-day retreat to find a cure for Zhong Xi's spiritual core and instructed them to clear the weeds from his herb garden. Kong Hou complained about the extensive weeding, calling Master Huang Qi lazy. Zhong Xi reminded her they had to comply. To speed up the process, Kong Hou used her true fire, mistakenly believing water would extinguish it. However, the true fire, unlike ordinary flames, consumed Master Huang Qi's entire paddy field.
Zhong Xi acknowledged their predicament, and though Kong Hou worried Master Huang Qi would abandon them, he calmly stated he would find another solution. Meanwhile, Master Huang Qi had explained to Zhong Xi that without Kong Hou's stabilizing influence, his spiritual core issues would relapse. He taught Zhong Xi a painful self-regulation method, which Zhong Xi began to practice. Concerned, Kong Hou tried to enter Zhong Xi's room to help, but he repeatedly turned her away.
She pressed Lin Hu for answers, who then revealed Master Huang Qi's warning: continued energy regulation with Zhong Xi could bring more thunder strikes upon Kong Hou. Zhong Xi was enduring the excruciating self-regulation to protect her. Kong Hou desperately tried to persuade Zhong Xi to let her help, arguing that once he was better, he could help her improve her cultivation and mental stability, which would mitigate the risk of thunder.
She even lightheartedly suggested he could shield her if thunder did strike. Zhong Xi, however, remained resolute, emphasizing the immense danger to them both. Kong Hou, exasperated, insisted his immediate health was more important than future unknowns and reminded him he was a person, not a weapon. Unmoved, Zhong Xi declared that her concerns were not his to bear and that after Master Huang Qi finished his retreat in ten days, they would go their separate ways. Frustrated, Kong Hou reluctantly agreed to part ways then.
