Legend of Fei Episode 43 Recap
> Legend of Fei Recap
Li Jinrong's body became weaker by the day. Adan lit incense to help her sleep, but this nap was filled with nightmares. Shen Tianshu was like a specter in Li Jinrong's dream, threatening the lives of everyone in the Forty-Eight Strongholds, luring out all the worries she had suppressed for a long time. Hai Tian Yi Se was something guarded by the lives of her predecessors.
The lives of every person in the Forty-Eight Strongholds were also what Li Jinrong was willing to protect with all her might. Facing such a threat, Li Jinrong seemed to go mad, slashing and stabbing wildly, completely losing her usual composure. A pair of hands rested on Li Jinrong's shoulders. She turned around and stabbed a sword into Shen Tianshu's abdomen. But before she could be happy for long, she looked up and saw Zhou Yitang covered in blood.
The sight of killing her beloved with her own hands caused Li Jinrong to completely break down mentally. Luckily, the nightmare ended at that moment. Li Jinrong wiped her sweaty forehead, and her desire to assassinate Shen Tianshu became even more urgent. Just then, Wu Chuchu arrived regarding the matter of sorting out the Poxue Saber techniques, and only then did she happen to learn about the recurrence of Li Jinrong's old illness.
However, no one could get Li Jinrong to seek medical treatment and recover. She had long ago put life and death aside, and at this crucial moment, she could not afford any complications. Chen Zichen's proposal failed. Hu Tianying once again poisoned him subtly. Under the pretext that staying in the Forty-Eight Strongholds would stir up sad memories and thus harm his health, she persuaded Chen Zichen and Mr. Bai to leave the Forty-Eight Strongholds that very day.
Once Chen Zichen left that day, Hu Tianying would act that night, which would subtly frame Chen Zichen. Zhou Fei practiced her saber techniques by the river every day. To prevent Di Sha and others from attacking the stronghold for Hai Tian Yi Se, Xie Yun felt heartache, and even more guilt for dragging her into trouble. Xie Yun specifically requested to see Li Jinrong, hoping she would destroy all the tokens. This would be a permanent solution.
Moreover, he did not have long to live, and the so-called treasure for restoring the country was long meaningless. Hai Tian Yi Se was something that many people had protected with their lives. Li Jinrong was unwilling and unable to destroy it like this. Furthermore, Xie Yun made this decision because he didn't want to implicate Zhou Fei, so the final decision-making power should rest in her hands.
Seeing Li Jinrong's persistence, Xie Yun said no more and changed the topic to the matter of the Soul Searching Needles. Soul Searching Needles could temporarily force out the martial arts internal energy from a person's peak period, which was exactly what Li Jinrong needed most. She used the excuse of research to keep the remaining Soul Searching Needles from Xie Yun for her own use.
When Yu Wenzhi's subordinates failed to assassinate Zhou Yitang, they secretly sought help from Di Sha, but were captured by the Forty-Eight Strongholds' hidden sentinels. When Li Jinrong learned that Zhou Yitang was being pursued by Di Sha, certain to be used as a hostage, she decided to take people down the mountain that same day. Before setting off, Li Jinrong solemnly handed the Forty-Eight Strongholds' seal to Li Sheng, entrusting all hope and the future into his hands.
Zhou Fei was originally in the kitchen personally making food for Li Jinrong. By chance, she overheard Wu Chuchu discussing Li Jinrong's injury with a medical attendant. Zhou Fei had already learned from Xie Yun that Li Jinrong had requested the Soul Searching Needles. When she then met Li Sheng, who told her about Li Jinrong's unusual behavior, both of them felt something was wrong.
Just as Li Jinrong was preparing to go down the mountain with her disciples, she was blocked at the courtyard gate by Zhou Fei and Li Sheng. Zhou Fei prevailed with martial force. While Li Jinrong felt deeply comforted, she could only temporarily abandon the idea of going down the mountain.
That night, the congratulatory gift, the Mountain and River Painting, that Chen Zichen had given to Li Jinrong disappeared, causing a slight commotion and successfully luring away Adan, who stayed by Li Jinrong's side every day. Hu Tianying seized this opportunity to approach Li Jinrong in Chen Zichen's name. Although her identity was revealed, the candles in the room had already been poisoned.
Li Jinrong, already severely injured, was no match for Hu Tianying's hidden weapons and poisoning, resulting in her being poisoned and falling into a coma. Wu Chuchu came to deliver medicine to Li Jinrong and happened to encounter Hu Tianying escaping. She quickly shot a whistle arrow to alert everyone in the stronghold.
By the time Zhou Fei and Li Sheng arrived, Li Jinrong was already unconscious, and the longevity painting that Xie Yun had painted for Li Jinrong had stopped at the character for "longevity".
