Legend of Fei Episode 38 Recap
> Legend of Fei Recap
The third medicinal ingredient, Vermilion Ming Firetail Grass, after being taken by Xie Yun, could force out the last bit of vitality in his body, naturally creating a false impression of being full of energy. These three medicines could only prevent Xie Yun from dying silently, but they were only treating the symptoms, not the root cause, and would overdraw his vital energy. If the antidote could not be found, the consequences were predictable.
Xie Yun looked at the peaceful sleeping face of Zhou Fei, his thoughts drifting to the past. The world was in chaos, and the common people suffered terribly. Xie Yun had no intention of seizing the world and ignoring the lives of the people. Later, upon learning that Wang Lin was imprisoned, he returned to the Anping Army camp again.
Xie Yun wanted to take Wang Lin to escape, but saw graves all over the back mountain, one of which was already Wang Lin's grave. Xie Yun came this time so that the Anping Army token could be brought to Zhou Yitang by someone. Since Wang Lin had no worries about the future, he could bravely face death.
It was precisely because of this that the destinies of Xie Yun and Zhou Fei became closely linked; though they made no vows of eternal love, they could face life and death together. Xie Yun believed his time was short and only thought of forging a legendary saber for Zhou Fei. Previously, Xie Yun had also forged a saber, but his martial uncle melted it in the furnace because it was truly unsightly.
Xie Yun again sought advice on saber forging from his martial uncle. Before the forging even began, he had already thought of a name. Born at the wrong time means being born during war when human lives are cheap, ultimately inferior to a prosperous era where even ordinary villagers have rustic joys. Unfortunately, life cannot be chosen. If one were born at the break of dawn, they could welcome the warmth and hope of the rising sun.
Xie Yun named the saber "Xiwei", meaning the faint light of dawn. Though he resented the faintness of the morning light, dawn was approaching, and even if the sky was dark, one should be content. The plan to lure and kill True Master Qinghui was approaching. Master Liu, under the guise of his mother's birthday celebration, invited heroes from all over the world. In reality, they were all heroic descendants intending to jointly assassinate True Master Qinghui.
Li Yan happened to see Li Sheng tidying the invitation letters and thought it was something delicious and fun, complaining that Li Sheng wasn't taking her. Since returning to the Forty-Eight Strongholds, Wu Chuchu had been organizing martial arts classics. Even Li Jirong intended to entrust her with organizing the Li Family Southern Blade for posterity.
Li Yan originally came to inform about the birthday banquet, but coincidentally, Wu Chuchu was also planning to go down the mountain to seek guidance on martial arts from Master Liu. This further strengthened their resolve to go secretly. Xie Yun drank the three medicinal ingredients. Although his life was temporarily out of danger, he only had one year left.
His last wish was to take Zhou Fei to Jiankang to fulfill his promise of taking her to taste all sorts of delicious food. Xie Yun did not want to reveal his condition, but coincidentally, Zhou Fei overheard his conversation with Master Tongming. Zhou Fei understood Xie Yun's intentions and pretended she didn't know the truth. The two arrived in Jiankang.
The streets and alleys were bustling and lively, with endless acrobatic performances and street artists, truly a scene of a utopia untouched by war. Xie Yun took Zhou Fei to a shop because once a lover, to win the heart of his beloved, bought tens of thousands of lanterns and lit them for seven days and seven nights, finally achieving a happy ending. Since then, to commemorate this beautiful event, this shop only sold lanterns. The two entered the shop.
The shopkeeper, unaware of the situation, thought they were there to prepare for a wedding gift. Unexpectedly, this time it was Xie Yun who repeatedly denied it, while Zhou Fei frankly acknowledged their status as an engaged couple. When Zhou Fei took out the token from the Strongholds, it turned out that this was also one of the Forty-Eight Strongholds' secret posts. The shopkeeper praised Zhou Fei's legend non-stop, drawing bursts of laughter from Xie Yun.
Zhou Fei casually picked out a lantern to give to Xie Yun. It wasn't that she didn't put thought into it; rather, as long as Xie Yun wanted it, what difficulty was there in giving him the entire shop? The usually unrestrained and carefree Xie Yun suddenly felt as if his heart was being stirred by a girl for the first time. Although the two had never spoken their feelings aloud, their mutual affection had long been understood.
Xie Yun took Zhou Fei to the top floor of a restaurant. Looking down at the brightly lit and bustling streets below, and having his beloved by his side, even if he only had one year left to live, Xie Yun was content. The two drank wine together. Tonight, there was no sorrow, no killing, only the love and peace revealed in their gazing into each other's eyes.
