Episode 23 - Kam Ching Again Becomes Enamoured with Dung Hong

   

 Jiu Muk prepares a banquet for Dung Hong, but suddenly, with a stern voice, he accuses Dung Hong for being a fake. Siu Lung was startled.

During the mass meeting of the talented to discuss politics, Lei Yuen gives Kam Ching the Bak Nga zither along with the nine song music composition by Wat Yuen in an attempt to win her affections. He and Jiu Muk started to fight over her and she, with no alternative, said that she only wanted a star from the sky. Siu Lung follows this by telling a fable story about eating honey. Kam Ching views him with new eyes.

Kam Ching and Siu Lung meet in the gardens. Siu Lung sighs and says that the person he misses was so close to him, yet seemed as far away as the end of the earth. These words moved Kam Ching's mood at this moment. Siu Lung points out that it isn't impossible to take a star from the sky. He then releases the fireflies he captured in a bag. The fireflies dance around Kam Ching and the two feel something from the other person.

Siu Lung finds out that Jiu Muk will secretly conduct a custom of the Cho people to sacrifice someone to the mountain ghosts in a few days. Siu Lung planned to destroy the opening to the mountain to capture him.

He goes around the lake with Kam Ching to paint and draw. Siu Lung sees that her ink and wash color was monotonous and cleverly picks a flower to crush it into a juice. He then lets it dye into the painting. Kam Ching was very happy. On the way back, Kam Ching injures her ankle and Siu Lung carries her back to the mansion.

Tang Yik and the others were waiting for Siu Lung at the mountain. They ended up watching as their chance to capture Jiu Muk slip away and felt that they wasted their time. They notice that Siu Lung was more concerned about Kam Ching than about their mission and voiced their displeasure. Siu Lung feels guilty.

Jiu Muk said that in two days the Jiu king will come there to test some horses and added it was a good chance to assassinate him. Siu Lung feels very vexed.

Kam Ching again asks Siu Lung to go to the lake in Sa Jau and he decides to use this to his advantage.

Jiu Muk goes to Sa Jau to meet with Kam Ching and suddenly two men dressed in black appeared to attack him. He gets captured.

Kam Ching quickly pulls away the cloth covering the face of one of the people in black and sees Siu Lung. She realizes that he had used her to lure Jiu Muk into a trap. Siu Lung knows that he was wrong and persuades her to take Jau Hin and return back to Chun state with him. She angrily refuses.
