Legend of Fei Episode 21 Recap
> Legend of Fei Recap
Silver frost covered the ground. Yin Wenlan and Li Zheng sparred in the flying snow, like a silent exchange. The two had long felt a deep connection, and now regarded each other as true confidants in this life. As the saber and sword clashed and broke into two halves, Yin Wenlan and Li Zheng showed no regret, but instead looked at each other and burst into laughter. Sabers and swords can break, but friendship cannot.
Madam Rainbow Robe later crafted another identical pair of saber and sword for them. However, upon learning that the other had acquired divine weapons, she was unwilling to present them as inferior goods. Who knew that two years later, they would never meet again? Now, Madam Rainbow Robe presented one of the sabers to Zhou Fei, which could be considered fulfilling her wish, and Zhou Fei naturally accepted it graciously.
Yin Pei awoke from a nightmare and subconsciously grasped the sword sheath he always kept with him, showing how paranoid he lived. At this moment, a child of seven or eight years old ran and jumped in from outside the door. Only then did Yin Pei remember that when he was surrounded by villains, an old Taoist priest had saved him, the same person the child referred to as Old Man Chongxiao.
The place where Yin Pei was staying was a temporarily built slum, specifically used by Chongxiaozi to accommodate refugees. Yin Pei's life experiences since childhood were filled with betrayal and conspiracy. In his eyes, this was merely a pretext for others to expand their influence under the guise of kindness. Even saving him was for the purpose of stealing his sword sheath. Ignoring Yin Pei's harsh words, the child pulled him to Chongxiaozi's dwelling. Facing Chongxiaozi's concern, Yin Pei sneered.
He had seen too many hypocrites who, under the name of his father's friend, first showed him concern and then secretly plotted to acquire the sword sheath. Seeing that Yin Pei distrusted every word he said, Chongxiaozi tried to make him fetch water, hoping to make him realize the truth about his weak constitution being unsuitable for martial arts. Unexpectedly, Yin Pei was too suspicious and completely ignored Chongxiaozi's kind persuasion.
It wasn't until the other party handed over Yin Wenlan's letter that Yin Pei, looking at the familiar and long-unseen handwriting in the letter, couldn't help but have his eyes turn red. According to Chongxiaozi, Yin Pei's physical condition at this moment not only prevented him from practicing martial arts but even drawing internal energy to fight others would result in the complete end of the Yin family lineage.
Both the yearning for his father and the cruel reality before him were facts that Yin Pei could not accept. After only half a day apart, when Zhou Fei and Xie Yun returned to Qiao Yun Residence, everything inside was gone; the place was deserted. Madam Rainbow Robe left without saying goodbye, which was a rule of the Feathered Robe troupe.
Zhou Fei initially wanted to pursue her upon seeing the teapot was not yet cold, but upon hearing Xie Yun's explanation, she gave up the idea. After reuniting with Ma Jili, Zhou Fei led Li Yan and a group of disciples from Forty-eight Strongholds back to the stronghold. Xie Yun followed behind, preparing to travel to Forty-eight Strongholds with them.
During this time, the group stopped at an inn and discovered that Yang Jin had actually followed them all the way there, declaring that he would stay in Forty-eight Strongholds to practice his saber until he could defeat Zhou Fei in a fight before giving up. Li Yan was already willful and harbored resentment towards him for forcing Zhou Fei into a fight.
She repeatedly questioned him about the mistake of kidnapping her, yet she did not think about how comfortable she had been during those days. Seeing Yang Jin pestering her relentlessly, Li Yan simply snatched the jade pendant from him and immediately gave it to Zhou Fei. This jade pendant was a token of the Traveling Gang. Wherever the bearer went, they could receive strong assistance from the Traveling Gang.
At this moment, in the small house beside the Washed Ink River in Forty-eight Strongholds, Koudan handed a letter she had inadvertently read to Yu Lao. This was a letter from Yu Wenzhi, expressing the idea of turning hostility into friendship with the Mingfeng Tower.
In Koudan's conversation with Yu Lao, she seemed very hopeful of easing the relationship between the Mingfeng Tower and Yu Wenzhi, and even wished to leave Forty-eight Strongholds to rebuild the reputation of the Mingfeng Tower in the martial arts world. As insightful as Yu Lao was, he naturally understood Koudan's hidden meaning. This person before him was his niece whom he had watched grow up since she was a child.
He certainly did not want her to go astray but also couldn't bear to be harsh with his words, so he intentionally offered a few hints. Unexpectedly, Koudan used the excuse of checking on the Qianji to visit again at night, deliberately wiping Yu Lao's teacup with a handkerchief, seemingly with unknown intentions. After Wen Yu arrived at the military camp, he brought the recent news to Zhou Yitang. Recently, there had been no news about Forty-eight Strongholds.
Now, Yu Wenzhi appeared in Di Sha Mountain Villa, and Gu Tianxian was plotting in Hengyang. Disturbances were happening from all directions. Zhou Yitang had suspicions but hoped that the reality was not as bad as he imagined.
