[WoH Rewatch] Episode 15
Sep. 17th, 2021 12:52 pmAre you interested in politics? Because this episode sure is!
Also: Why I’m using “Longyuan Pavillion” instead of “Longyuan Cabinet”.

Discussion Prompts/Questions
1. Long Xiao! Showing off technological prowess and also giving us another story about the Glazed Armor. Long Que is involved in the story for the first time, I believe? Nobody else has brought him up. We’ll get more about him over the next arc, but if you have anything to say about his introduction I’d be interested in hearing that!
2. Zhou Zishu walking away. This won’t last long, but the argument/moral dispute that leads to him choosing to walk away is pretty interesting. Wen Kexing’s not wrong about the righteous sects being just as bad as ghost valley, but Zhou Zishu’s not wrong that wanting to watch everyone die in a bloodbath isn’t good either. Thoughts, feelings, opinions about their arguments and reactions?
3. The reveal that Zhao Jing is Xie-wang’s yifu! Which, like, I honestly cannot recall if I realised on the first watch? Because we don’t see Zhao Jing’s face, just his silhouette and enough bits of his clothes to make it clear. But it’s a brief scene in the middle of a lot of other things, and we only really get into Zhao Jing and the Scorpion’s relationship next episode. Thoughts about this reveal, and how Zhao Jing is otherwise acting this episode?
Next Time: The monument falls! Gao Chong dies! ZZS and WKX take Chengling away from all this mess! We see a lot more of Xie-wang (and Zhao Jing with him)! YBY shows up at ZZS and WKX’s cave!
