Handsome Siblings Episode 22 Recap
> Handsome Siblings Recap
Seeing Xiao Yu'er in Dream Girl's room, Black Spider tied him to the outskirts. Xiao Yu'er then realized that he was the one who had booked Murong Jiu for half a year. He said Dream Girl didn't remember him, and wondered if it was worth him risking his life for her like this. Black Spider felt it was worth it, perhaps this was love. Black Spider asked Xiao Yu'er if he had a beloved.
If he did, he would definitely do the same for her. Xiao Yu'er couldn't help but think of Tie Xinlan. But he didn't know if this was love. If it was love, why did he always want to bully her whenever he saw her? If it wasn't love, why did he feel heartbroken when he saw her with other men? That night, Xiao Yu'er dreamed that Jiang Biehe and his son, Jiang Yulang, were going to kill Tie Xinlan.
After waking up, he found Black Spider standing by his bed. He asked Xiao Yu'er about Dream Girl's true identity. Xiao Yu'er said it wasn't that he didn't want to tell him. He was afraid that if her identity was exposed, someone a hundred times more vicious than Black Spider would hunt her down. Xiao Yu'er said he could help him rescue Dream Girl. Black Spider said if he could rescue her, he would have done so long ago.
The manager of the Ten Thousand Flowers Brothel was Wei Mayi of the evil sect Wuya Gate, and supporting him from behind was his master, Twelve Astrologers Wei Wuya. Xiao Yu'er decided to help Black Spider rescue Murong Jiu. He discussed with a prostitute to act out a play together. That day, he smeared some ash on his face and went to the Ten Thousand Flowers Brothel. As soon as he entered, he was stopped by Wei Mayi's subordinates.
They asked Xiao Yu'er who he was looking for. He said he was looking for his sister, Xiao Sha, and he was Xiao Dai. He asked them if they had seen a fair and beautiful woman. The prostitute said, "Isn't that Dream Girl?" Xiao Yu'er clamored to see Dream Girl, and he cursed them for forcing good women into prostitution. The other guests joined in the commotion, so Wei Mayi then took him to see Dream Girl.
Pushing open Dream Girl's door, they found her lying in a pool of blood with a dagger in her chest. Xiao Yu'er quickly rushed forward, lay beside her, and cried loudly. Wei Mayi angrily muttered "bad luck" and told him to take Dream Girl away. Xiao Yu'er carried Dream Girl and quickly ran out of the Ten Thousand Flowers Brothel. Outside, Black Spider was already waiting with a carriage.
After Xiao Yu'er carried her into the carriage, they quickly sped towards the outskirts. Watching his subordinates wipe the blood from the ground with a cloth, Wei Mayi suddenly felt the smell was wrong. He immediately walked over, squatted down, dipped some of the blood on the ground with his finger, and put it in his mouth. It turned out that the blood was red pigment mixed with a little sugar.
Realizing he had been tricked, he furiously led his subordinates on horseback to chase them. While driving the carriage, Black Spider asked Xiao Yu'er how Dream Girl was. Xiao Yu'er said he had pricked her sleeping acupoint, and the dagger in her chest had no blade. Upon hearing this, Black Spider happily praised him for coming up with such a brilliant scheme to rescue Dream Girl. As they were going, they suddenly heard urgent hoofbeats behind them.
Knowing that Wei Mayi was catching up, Black Spider told him to take Dream Girl and go first, while he would drive the carriage to divert them. Xiao Yu'er arranged to meet him at the thatched cottage in the flower sea on the outskirts. After a while, Black Spider, having shaken off Wei Mayi, arrived at the thatched cottage in the flower sea. Xiao Yu'er told him to take good care of Dream Girl and then bid farewell and left.
Tie Xinlan followed Hua Wuque to the Twin Lions Escort Agency. The stableman was burning paper money as a vigil for the deceased. They asked him if he had found anything suspicious. The stableman took out a red leaf he had found while cleaning the scene. He said there were no such leaves nearby. Hua Wuque guessed it must have been brought by the killer.
Tie Xinlan heard the stableman say that on the night of the incident, he heard a "ding-a-ling" sound. She asked him what kind of sound it was. The stableman said it was a type of copper bell, somewhat like the Three Pure Ones Bell found in Taoist temples. Their conversation was overheard by Jiang Yulang, who was lying on the roof.
He went back and told his father, Jiang Biehe, that if Hua Wuque continued to investigate, their deeds would likely not remain hidden. Jiang Biehe decided to plot to have the Ten Great Evils kill Hua Wuque. He told his son, Jiang Yulang, to immediately transfer the escort agency's silver to a safe place. After his son left, he held the Three Pure Ones Bell and looked at it thoughtfully.
The next day, Jiang Biehe told Hua Wuque that the red leaf came from a nearby Taoist temple. Because the journey was dangerous, Hua Wuque, who was preparing to go to the Taoist temple, advised Tie Xinlan not to follow. Tie Xinlan said that her Jianghu experience was greater than his and she wouldn't hold him back. The two arrived at the Taoist temple.
At the entrance, they saw many red leaves, similar to those they saw at the Twin Lions Escort Agency. So they walked in. There was no one in the temple; it was covered in dust and cobwebs everywhere. Suddenly, Hua Wuque heard the sound of the Three Pure Ones Bell. A figure swiftly attacked him. This person had white hair, a white beard, and blood-red eyes.
Hua Wuque guessed he was the killer responsible for the Twin Lions Escort Agency massacre. The two began to fight. The white-haired elder's martial arts were exceedingly high. Seeing that Hua Wuque was no match and was getting injured, Tie Xinlan, holding her sword, flew over to save him. But she was knocked to the ground by a palm strike from the white-haired elder.
She was stunned to realize that the boxing style the white-haired elder was using was the Mad One Hundred and Eight Strikes. Just then, the bell rang. The crazed white-haired elder lunged forward and grabbed her neck. She struggled and cried out "Dad!" The white-haired elder saw the jade pendant revealed on her chest, instantly regained his senses, and quickly withdrew his hand. He led her out of the Taoist temple and into the forest.
After the father and daughter recognized each other, Tie Xinlan sadly said that he had been gone for ten years. How could he bear to leave her, an eight-year-old, at home? Mad Lion Tie Zhan said that back then, he traveled everywhere looking for experts to spar with. But little did he know that there was always someone stronger. So he diligently practiced martial arts and finally mastered the Nameless Divine Skill.
He couldn't remember how many injuries he sustained or how many masters he defeated. When he found no more masters to challenge, he felt lost and missed his daughter greatly, so he wanted to hurry home to see her. Tie Xinlan asked him, "Since you wanted to go home, where did you go afterwards?" Tie Zhan said that on his way home, he met a person.
That person was being pursued by enemies and was on the verge of death, so he saved him. Unexpectedly, this person appeared to be a gentleman but was actually vicious at heart. He first got him drunk and then poisoned him. He forced him to teach him the Nameless Divine Skill. When he refused, he used despicable means to control him.
