Love in Pavilion Episode 14 Recap
> Love in Pavilion Recap
Mu Mie returned to Baiyu Village only to find all the villagers massacred, corpses strewn everywhere. Yeyuan killed the last one, recognized Mu Mie as the one who had discovered the leech demon, and interrogated him about its whereabouts. Cui Yu appeared just in time to try and rescue Mu Mie, but Yeyuan would not let them go so easily. Yang Yitan secretly assisted by helping Mu Mie use his Heaven’s Eye to see the flow of Yeyuan’s demon aura.
Realizing he couldn’t win against Yang Yitan and Wangquan Zui, Yeyuan fled. When Mu Mie saw Yang Yitan, he recognized him as the person from his dream who gouged out their own Heaven’s Eye. Upon learning Mu Mie’s surname was Mu, Yang Yitan quickly questioned him and confirmed he was the son of his aunt, Yang Yan, who had died six months prior. Mu Mie, however, didn’t tell the truth about why he had come to Baiyu Village.
Dongfang Huaizhu knew Wangquan was pretending to be asleep and ordered someone to keep watch over him. After she left, Wangquan used a sleeping incense to knock out the guard and went to investigate the Pool of Rebirth on his own. He discovered that the golden morning light above the pool had a powerful formation and purification ability, but something in its aura was missing.
Yeyuan caught Wangquan there, and then Dongfang Huaizhu appeared, using Jia Lan’s powers to control Yeyuan and safely left the pool. Yeyuan’s memories of the encounter were erased. Wangquan Zui and the others wanted to learn the secrets of Biluo City and the Golden Morning Inn from Cui Yu, but the blue-eyed Cui Yu only knew that Biluo City was dangerous and nothing more.
Even if Wangquan Zui hypnotized her to recall her time at the inn, she refused to remember. The leech demon was skilled in healing and could tell that Yang Yitan’s internal and external injuries were severe, making it dangerous for him to use his Heaven’s Eye anytime soon. The red-eyed Cui Yu agreed to heal Yang Yitan on the condition that Mu Mie would assist her.
Wangquan could tell Dongfang Huaizhu was testing him, so he proposed they cooperate and put on a show to draw Jiuhuo in. Dongfang Huaizhu then brought Wangquan to meet Jiuhuo and claimed they could use Wangquan’s life to exchange the leech demon from Wangquan Zui and Yang Yitan. Jiuhuo agreed and gave her three days. Soon, Dongfang Huaizhu’s public notice spread throughout the city. Mu Mie and Cui Yu went out to gather herbs together.
The clever Mu Mie had long noticed the dual nature of Cui Yu Ming Luan—gentle and kind when blue-eyed, fiery and bold when red-eyed. The red-eyed Cui Yu teased him about which side he preferred. Mu Mie, straightforward as ever, said that no matter which side she was, she didn’t seem like someone who would kill lightly. While others feared and hated demons, Mu Mie chose to believe in them.
The red-eyed Cui Yu became frustrated, as Mu Mie’s logic of only trusting outcomes without caring whether one was human or demon failed to convince her. Jiuhuo wanted to save Jia Lan, and Wangquan Hongye wanted to save Dongfang Huaizhu. This gave Dongfang Huaizhu an opportunity to manipulate both. Blue-eyed Cui Yu didn’t understand why Yang Yitan would treat Wangquan Zui better than his own life.
Yang Yitan said little, but outside the door, Wangquan Zui realized how important she was to him. Dongfang Huaizhu dressed elegantly to attend a meeting. Though Wangquan worried about her using Jia Lan’s demon power to control Jiuhuo, Dongfang Huaizhu was confident and insisted on going to Jiuhuo’s room to implement her plan. At the time, Jiuhuo was in a weakened state. Dongfang Huaizhu took the opportunity to perform mental control and asked the questions she needed.
After achieving her goal, she erased Jiuhuo’s memory, but someone as powerful as Jiuhuo still recalled a fragment of a red-clothed figure. Blue-eyed Cui Yu wanted to leave, but red-eyed Cui Yu insisted on staying and agreed to let Yang Yitan hypnotize her. Jiuhuo claimed to control everything and said Wangquan could not leave Biluo City. But Wangquan Zui smiled faintly and said that Dongfang Huaizhu could.
