The twenty-eighth episode of the Web Series premiered on July 24, 2019.
Synopsis[]
Jiang Cheng explains that he is in a difficult position, as many cultivators desire the Yin Tiger Tally from Wei Wuxian. If he continues protecting the remnants of the Qishan Wen Clan, Jiang Cheng warns him that he will not be able to protect Wei Wuxian.
Wei Wuxian is incensed at the suggestion that he abandon the Wens, and declares himself defecting from the Yunmeng Jiang Clan.
Wen Qing gives the small potato she has to eat to Wen Yuan, the only child of the remnants. The Wens make plans to buy seeds to grow more crops, as food is scarce on the Burial Mounds.
Wei Wuxian speaks with Wen Qing, offering her the food again, but she declines. She insists that he leave them, but he refuses. He again reassures her that he will restore Wen Ning's consciousness.
At night, Jiang Cheng finds himself unable to sleep. He recalls that, before departing the Burial Mounds, Wen Qing returned the red comb he once gave her.
Meanwhile, Wen Qing sits vigilantly beside her brother's body, and Wei Wuxian attempts to use Chenqing to revive his consciousness, to no avail.
The next day, Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian meet for a duel. In the end, Jiang Cheng stabs Wei Wuxian in his abdomen, and Wei Wuxian uses Chenqing to injure Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng declares him officially banished from the Yunmeng Jiang Clan.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yanli dreams of her brother sailing past her, unable to hear as she call for him.
Back at the Burial Mounds, Wen Qing scolds Wei Wuxian as she tends to his injuries.
Jiang Yanli exits her room at Golden Carp Tower to see Jin Zixuan building a lotus pond for her. He proposes building another Lotus Pier with her, and she accepts his proposal.
Lan Wangji sits in a teahouse, where townsfolk gossip about the powerful Yiling Patriarch and the abundance of wicked deeds he has done. They declare him deserving of death, to Lan Wangji's indignation.
Meanwhile, Wei Wuxian is in Yiling arguing on the prices of potatoes with a vendor. Suddenly, he realizes that Wen Yuan has vanished, and finds him in the middle of a commotion. A-Yuan sobs uncontrollably at the feet of Lan Wangji, whom the passersby mistake for his father.
Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji thus reunite, and Lan Wangji buys Wen Yuan the toys he desires.[1]
