Love Better Than Immortality Episode 6 Recap
> Love Better Than Immortality Recap
At the poetry meeting, Feng Caicai, Leng Ning, and others were present, with the day's theme being "righteousness." Fu Lou, the chief of Legend Valley, also attended. He appeared concerned with obtaining an immortality fruit and lamented that his sect had become as weak as the orthodox ones. The discussion turned to the dilemma of choosing between love and righteousness. Feng Caicai asserted that one should choose righteousness, even if it meant becoming heartless for the common people.
This prompted Chunhua, who was already frustrated and jealous that Xiao Bai sided with Feng Caicai, to declare she would also recite a poem. Chunhua first recited "The Peasant's Lot," which was well-received. However, she then continued with "Goose, Goose, Goose," a poem Qin Liufeng admitted he composed at age seven.
Embarrassed, Chunhua attempted other poems, but in a moment of panic, she blurted out, "When will the endless cycle of the spring flower and the autumn moon come to an end? How much remembrance of the things past does a heart know?" At the mention of "qiu yue" (autumn moon), members of the orthodox sects reacted with hostility, drawing their swords.
Fu Lou, too, reacted intensely to the phrase, implying it was a sad poem that reminded him of someone from his past. Realizing the word "qiu yue" was a severe taboo, Chunhua feigned a faint. Qin Liufeng quickly stepped forward, claiming knowledge of acupuncture and offering to revive her with a few needles. Hearing this, Chunhua immediately woke up, complaining of a headache and wanting to return to bed.
Xiao Bai, believing she was merely drunk and had caught a chill, suggested Feng Caicai escort her back to the inn. However, Chunhua insisted she could manage on her own and quickly disappeared. The orthodox members, suspicious of Chunhua's outburst and the mention of the taboo word, questioned if she was an evil sect enchantress. Xiao Bai took responsibility, explaining he had forgotten to inform Chunhua of such taboos and that her actions were not intentional.
He then defiantly repeated the word "qiu yue," challenging the orthodox sects' fear and urging them to focus on eliminating the evil sect rather than being fixated on a name. Qin Liufeng supported him, suggesting they enjoy music to improve the atmosphere, which diffused the tension.
Meanwhile, in a separate development, after Qiu Yue (Chunhua's brother, also known as Fu Lou) had confronted someone and departed, Feng Caicai's father, Chief Feng of Xisha Sect, attempted to gather information from Fu Lou but was instead apprehended by him. Fu Lou revealed his knowledge that Chief Feng had killed the Medical Sage for the immortality fruit.
Using this as leverage, Fu Lou blackmailed Chief Feng, demanding he capture a girl who "came back from the dead" and deliver her to him, threatening to expose him to the martial arts world if he refused. Later, as Chunhua was pleased with her quick thinking, her brother, Qiu Yue, appeared. He found her seemingly drunk and attempted to feed her medicine.
Chunhua stubbornly kept her mouth shut, but when Qiu Yue implied he would administer the medicine "his own way" by mouth, she quickly snatched the pills and took them. Chunhua then questioned Qiu Yue about Hua Xiaolei's death. Qiu Yue confirmed that Hua Xiaolei, Xiao Bai's fiancée, had died in a fire and her body was never found.
He then shockingly revealed that Chunhua herself was the one who set the fire at the Xiao family, reminding her that she had infiltrated Fengming Manor to steal mental cultivation methods for him. Chunhua was visibly shaken, struggling to believe his words. Meanwhile, Qin Liufeng delivered a portrait of Hua Xiaolei to Xiao Bai. Qin Liufeng explained that the Hua family maintained Hua Xiaolei was dead but remained silent about the cause. He suggested the portrait might offer new insights.
Xiao Bai seemed apprehensive, hesitating to open it. After Qin Liufeng urged him and then left, Xiao Bai finally unrolled the portrait and discovered that Chunhua was indeed Hua Xiaolei, a revelation that brought him immense joy. Soon after, Feng Caicai visited Chunhua, inviting her for tea. Chunhua, still feeling unwell, wanted to decline, but Qiu Yue, unseen, mimicked Chunhua's voice, inviting Feng Caicai to enter the room.
Panicked, Chunhua then mimicked Xiao Bai's voice, claiming they had important matters to discuss, prompting Feng Caicai to leave. On her way back, Feng Caicai encountered the real Xiao Bai, who was coming to see Chunhua about the portrait. Confused, Feng Caicai realized the voices she heard earlier must have been a "disguised voice" technique. Concerned, Xiao Bai rushed to Chunhua's room and was relieved to find her seemingly drunk at the table.
Feng Caicai voiced her suspicions, but Xiao Bai dismissed them, suggesting she was tired or overly nervous, and reiterated that he had private matters to discuss with Chunhua, urging Feng Caicai to rest. Seeing that Xiao Bai was not convinced, Feng Caicai reluctantly left, but not before subtly mentioning the clothes she had personally made for him. Xiao Bai roused Chunhua, who playfully complained of dizziness and nausea, asking him to check for a fever.
Xiao Bai offered to get sobering soup, but Chunhua preferred his company. Xiao Bai mentioned he had something important to discuss but would wait until she was fully sober. Chunhua then asked Xiao Bai to accompany her for a walk. As they strolled, Chunhua apologized for her actions at the poetry meeting, admitting she couldn't remember other poems and had been at a loss for words.
Xiao Bai reassured her, stating she had done nothing wrong and that the true fault lay with the evil sect for creating such disquiet in the martial arts circles. He then gently probed her memory, asking if she recalled her past. Chunhua, secretly agonizing over her identity as Qiu Yue's sister and her involvement in the Xiao family fire, claimed she remembered nothing prior to waking up. Xiao Bai expressed his desire to know everything about her.
Chunhua, recalling how Xiao Bai was the first person she saw upon waking, his dedication to martial arts, his consistent rescue whenever she was in danger, and even her accidental entry into his private bathing pool, recounted these memories of him. Xiao Bai was visibly pleased by her sincerity and affection, and they continued their walk towards the inn.
Separately, Leng Ning and Qin Liufeng were engaged in a game of chess, but Qin Liufeng was distracted by thoughts of Chunhua. Leng Ning grew impatient, sensing his distraction was related to Chunhua. Qin Liufeng admitted he was pondering something incredible. Leng Ning, inferring his thoughts, acknowledged Chunhua's newfound notoriety after the poetry meeting but subtly criticized her informality, attributing it to her not being a martial arts practitioner. Qin Liufeng defended Chunhua, stating her actions were understandable.
Leng Ning retorted sharply, accusing him of protecting her and suggesting he discuss his "strange thing" directly with Chunhua. Annoyed, Leng Ning then abruptly left. Back at the inn, Feng Caicai intercepted Xiao Bai and Chunhua. She immediately steered the conversation to "martial arts affairs," suggesting Chunhua would not be interested and should rest, as she had just sobered up. Chunhua reluctantly complied and left. Feng Caicai again pressed Xiao Bai about the "disguised voice" incident.
Xiao Bai firmly stated that the orthodox sects acted openly and honorably, never blindly doubting anyone, especially a "weak girl without relatives" like Chunhua, whom he believed to be pure-hearted and merely reckless, not malicious. When Feng Caicai questioned how to explain the disguised voice heard outside the door when only Chunhua was inside, Xiao Bai maintained he had the situation under control but found it inconvenient to elaborate at that moment, dismissing Feng Caicai's warning about being misled.
He then offered to walk her back to her room, where she again reminded him about the custom-made clothes she had given him. Later, Chunhua saw Qin Liufeng practicing martial arts and playfully teased him about his skills. Qin Liufeng then directly asked Chunhua if she was hiding her true identity due to difficulties. Chunhua, her mind racing with whether he meant her being Qiu Yue's sister or setting the fire, feigned amnesia and denied hiding anything.
Qin Liufeng warned her that if Xiao Bai discovered her deceptions, it could create a rift between them, leaving Xiao Bai vulnerable to others. Before Chunhua could fully respond, Leng Ning passed by, noticed their intimate conversation, and coldly reminded Chunhua to pack her belongings as they were scheduled to return that afternoon before angrily departing. Feng Caicai then reported her suspicions about Chunhua's "disguised voice" to her father, Chief Feng.
Chief Feng confirmed that such a technique was unique to the evil sect and that Chunhua's use of it made her untrustworthy. Despite Feng Caicai's frustration about not having enough evidence to convince Xiao Bai, her father asserted that with the Alliance Leader gravely ill, they could not remain idle. He instructed Feng Caicai to bring Chunhua to a secluded spot in the woods on the outskirts of the city, where they could interrogate her and obtain more detailed evidence.
Chunhua, meanwhile, was happily anticipating returning to Fengming Manor and spending time alone with Xiao Bai, unaware of the trap awaiting her. Feng Caicai then confronted Chunhua, telling her that she wouldn't be returning to the inn that day, as she had arranged for them to go out together with the young master. This was a ruse, as Feng Caicai then used acupuncture to seize Chunhua, abducting her to their designated location.
