WWX and JC are back in Lotus Pier and on the run again but luckily cinnamon roll Wen Ning saved them.
Wen Qing was introduced in this ep and being a kind lady and doctor that she is, she ends up helping WWX and JC too.

Wen Ning was so cute when he said "Yes... Jiejie (sister)..." xD

The Cloud Recesses scene was not in the novel iirc so I'm grateful to the animation team for putting it in. It showed that LWJ actually cares and is worried for Wei Ying and the others. :')

It seems there are some people who dislike that Lan granduncle but to be fair, he's not wrong either, he just wants to protect the clan. The one who is wrong are the Wens! xP

this season give two EP for present, 3 EP for happily young age, 1 EP for conflict among Jiang Clan, 3 EP on Wen's despot, 2EP on Wei and Jiang Clan's tragedy.
There are three EP left, I wonder when can they complete revenge.......Like 2 Chapter to be OP and revenge at the final EP?

Such is Despair for Jiang Cheng, and it makes Wei Wuxian miserable as hell. It was great to see Wangji worrying about those two, I guess underneath that headband he's a kind guy.

The Wen sister is kind though but strict, I like her in this episode. I hope Wei Wuxian will be able to restore Jiang Cheng's power and get revenge on those Wens.

It got destroyed by Wen Zhu Liu the Core-Melting Hand some time between JC being back in Lotus Pier again to when WWX found him. It happened off-screen.

Near the end of this episode when their knees hit the ground for them to bow, I don't know what it was about that moment: maybe it was them paying respects, maybe it was the tears, maybe it was the all encompassing despair. but that part struck me hard and I almost teared up. seriously what a beautifully done scene with very few dialogue but held such deep meaning.

Im really loving this series so far, it has made it into my top ten effortlessly and the story is only getting started. I need for this to gain more recognition, its definitely deserving of such high praises. I can't get enough.

I know right? Although kneeling is now like an old gesture that's anti equality or freedom, but kowtows with deep emotions always get me in tears.

When WWX kneels and kowtows I can hear him praying in his head "Uncle Jiang and Madam Yu please watch over us, help me succeed in recovering JC's core, help your son carry out his revenge."

I did not know what kowtows meant before now, I'm glad I learned something new ^^
and yes!! I know exactly what you mean, its like a silent prayer could be heard loud and clear in that moment. It was very emotional for me. I can seriously go on about it forever

Still long way to go, there will be three season.
I guess they can’t even explain why he was killed by Jiang Cheng in this season.

Yeah in the novel Wei Wuxian, Jiang Cheng, and Wen Ning were supposed to go to Yiling first before meeting Wen Qing but oh well, they're still gonna go to Yiling anyways (in the next ep) xD

my enjoyment has gone down in the past 2 episodes, so much self loathing, self destructing that's been dragging on for far too long and Wei Wuxian doesn't explain it straight up and just smack that Jian Cheng awake, stop pampering that little shit, he went and looked for trouble himself and accuse others of slighting him.. great. Give me 3 more episodes of this shit /s

He's going through a lot right now... his family was slaughtered before him and the very thing that makes him powerful is gone.

Wei Wuxian is all he has in this world.

For sure, but I am also annoyed at WWX who allowed this all to happen. JC keeps on looking for ways to die and he's literally only surviving so we can continue the plot. He wants revenge but he's rushing alone into fights that he had no chance of winning, without a single plan, literally looking for death. As logical as the reactions are, it doesn't make it any less annoying considering the plot armor is keeping them alive. This is where I believe WWX should've stepped up to his promise with JC's mom and keep JC safe from self harming.

To be honest, I appreciate the differences between versions, it’s interesting to watch/read all of them, to add more perspective to some arcs, while the core story remains the same.

So tired of that stupid brat Jiang Cheng. Wei Wuxian owes his life to no one, fuck what that bitch said. protect him with life? bullshit. some friend JC is, and a trash human. some of you are saying "but he lost his parents and his clan..." - that's exactly when true character is revealed, in dire circumstances, not when everything is nice and easy.
this shit drives me crazy ngl. my poor boy Wei Wuxian deserves better ppl around

Considering this is from 2018, you're a 'few' months off. Thanks for the stupid pointless ping btw.

FFS JIANG CHENG, I know are you grief-stricken, but
WHAT THE HELL were you hoping to accomplish running back to Lotus Pier sans aide? No plan, nothing.

You'd be so dead if not for Wei Wu Xian.

the rain animation is very nice
the way they do the wen plotline in this episode is very strange (i definetly prefer what the novels and drama did with it) tho wwx literally snapping two people's necks was pretty badass
jc voice acting is quite good damn
also i don't give the expressions enough credit
and idk if it's just the subtitles i'm watching but they changed baoshan-sanren's gender??? (or at least used he/him pronouns) could just be a translation wierdness idk, but in the novels and drama she's always refered to as being female, i literally had to check the wiki because i thought i was going crazy

also random cloud recesses section and random new character? (maybe i just don't remember him idk), i also noticed lwj seems much more expressive in this series, but that might just be me
