Legend of Fei Episode 3 Recap
> Legend of Fei Recap
It was the last wish of the Li family ancestors that the Forty-Eight Strongholds be without party or faction, without friends or allies, and should not get entangled with any force, and Zhou Yitang should not be an exception. Today, once Zhou Yitang left the stronghold gate, his life and death were no longer related to the Forty-Eight Strongholds, but Li Jinrong appearing to save him was proof that their marital bond was difficult to sever.
Zhou Yitang's carriage moved forward, Li Jinrong turned her back and returned to the stronghold, and the couple parted in silence. Half a year later, the An Ping Army received intelligence that General Wu Fei was captured. This person had a life-and-death friendship with Li Zheng, was a martial arts expert with extraordinary skills. Zhou Yitang speculated that if it weren't for Disha's move, it would be difficult for anyone else to be his enemy.
Originally, Shen Tian Shu intercepted letters between Wu Fei and Wang Lin, learned that a 'Water Ripple Token' existed, and therefore had Qiu Tianjin capture him, binding his hands and feet with iron chains and trapping him within the Disha domain. Wu Fei had heroic courage and showed no fear. It wasn't until Shen Tian Shu killed his wife in front of him that Wu Fei lost his composure.
Fortunately, Wu Fei's children had been entrusted by Zhou Yitang to Chen Fei, who escorted them all the way to escape towards the Forty-Eight Strongholds. Shen Tian Shu obtained this intelligence, guessed that the token was kept with Wu Fei's daughter, Wu Chuchu, but sent Qiu Tianjin to pursue them without success. Among the mountains, rocks, and forests, Xie Yun happened to encounter the Disha organization searching everywhere.
Seeing Chen Fei and others not far away, he knew it was a pursuit and escape. Xie Yun was concerned about owing a favor to the people in the stronghold and proactively revealed himself to help. He then used Wu Chuchu's rouge to disguise blood blisters, claiming that his clansmen had contracted an infectious disease, only then temporarily escaping the eyes and ears of the Disha members.
Chen Fei led everyone smoothly to the territory of Huojiabao and met up with the people claiming to be from Huojiabao. The master of Huojiabao had a long-standing friendship with the Forty-Eight Strongholds. With his deliberate protection, Shen Tian Shu also felt troubled.
However, Xie Yun saw that the eyes of the Huojiabao people were flickering, seeming to indicate something was wrong, but having no proof and not understanding the relationship, he could only pretend not to know and said goodbye to Chen Fei there. In the past six months, Zhou Fei constantly kept in mind what Zhou Yitang said before he left.
In order to have the right to choose proactively, she has been staying in Ximo River, using the power of the Qianji Formation to improve her abilities. Effort pays off. The day Zhou Fei successfully deciphered the Qianji Formation was the day of the Xiushan Hall examination in the stronghold. Successful candidates could officially enter the world from the mountain gate. At the examination ground, around the arena, several stone pillars were set up.
Each stone pillar was guarded by a stronghold elder. If one defeated an elder, they could obtain the paper flower within the stone pillar, and the most difficult one was the tall wooden pillar beside it. The person guarding it was the Great Chieftain, Li Jinrong. Li Sheng's determination to leave the mountain was set. He took down fifteen paper flowers in one go, winning praise from everyone present, only Zhou Fei was unimpressed.
Zhou Fei didn't really care how many paper flowers were on the field; she only wanted to get the paper flower guarded by her mother. Zhou Fei proactively went up the mountain to challenge Li Jinrong, only then realizing that the saber in her hand couldn't be unsheathed. In a moment of desperation, she perfectly resolved the immediate crisis by incorporating the essence of Mingfeng Tower martial arts, drawing praise from the clan elders.
Li Jinrong attacked her with the family's inherited Snow-breaking Saber technique, skillfully helping Zhou Fei unsheathe her saber, but saw that its blade was rusty, making it difficult to fight. In just a few moves, Zhou Fei was about to be defeated. Suddenly seeing Li Jinrong use the Snow-breaking Saber, she seemed to gain some insight into its mysteries and actually started learning her mother's saber technique on the spot. At first glance, it looked quite decent.
Li Jinrong chopped down with a saber strike. Zhou Fei relied on her mother not daring to truly harm her. Although she felt timid and hesitant, she ultimately endured, deliberately not dodging or avoiding, forcing the other party to secretly concede. The saber strike landed on the wooden pillar, restricting movement for a moment, giving Zhou Fei an opportunity to successfully snatch the paper flower.
This time, having successfully passed the Xiushan Hall examination, it happened that the stronghold lost contact with Chen Fei and others. Old Madam Wang wished to personally leave the mountain to inquire about the situation, so she took Li Sheng and Zhou Fei out together for training. Before departing, Li Jinrong implicitly praised Zhou Fei for the first time and even personally taught her the Snow-breaking Saber.
The intent of the Snow-breaking Saber is to be unstoppable; it will not break even if holding a paper saber. The focus is on mental fortitude, and one must not harbor hesitation or retreat. Zhou Fei, who received her mother's praise and concern for the first time, was in a good mood. She came to Ximo River to bid farewell to Yu Lao. Her unprecedented respectful address made the other party quite unaccustomed.
After a long talk, discussing what it means to be a hero, Yu Lao finally explained the reason he guarded the Forty-Eight Strongholds his entire life. In those years, Yu Lao, as the master of Mingfeng Tower, was actually just an organization that dealt in martial world intelligence. He offended many people in the martial world and was even pursued by Disha's Hu Tianying and Lu Tiankuang.
Yu Lao was careless for a moment and was poisoned by Hu Tianying's 'Bone-Penetrating Poison'. He should have died on the spot, but by chance, he was rescued by Li Zheng.
