Legend of Fei Episode 9 Recap
> Legend of Fei Recap
A song "Picking Lotus Song" earned praise from Li Zheng. Although Duan Jiuniang did not spend much time with him, deep affection had taken root in her heart, so she expressed her feelings directly. However, Li Zheng was already over forty years old, and his daughter was similar in age to Duan Jiuniang. Though his beloved wife had passed away early, his love in his heart had not changed, making it naturally difficult for him to accept.
Seeing her confession fail, Duan Jiuniang became angry and parted ways, showing no trace of pretense. The Jianghu is vast, and where one's heart is devoted, one will always seek opportunities to be close to the beloved, even across the ends of the earth.
Duan Jiuniang, experiencing love for the first time and definitely not one to give up easily, often challenged Li Zheng outside the mountain gate of the Forty-Eight Stockades after being rejected, although she did not pester him bitterly. Even when facing Li Jinrong, who was similar in age to her, Duan Jiuniang seemed to be showing off, confident that one day the other party would call her "Mother". A woman adorns herself for the one who makes her happy.
Duan Jiuniang, a Jianghu woman with a free and unrestrained nature, was not bothered by trivialities. She publicly challenged him outside the stockade gate, adopting a stance of sitting there until death if she didn't see Li Zheng. Yet, she would occasionally reveal a rare trace of a young woman's stirring heart, carefully tidying her appearance. When Li Zheng finally came out to accept the challenge, Duan Jiuniang was happy.
She did not get angry even when he knocked off her earring with a palm strike, but instead left angrily because Li Zheng used his saber hilt to support her. Whenever she sparred with Li Zheng, Duan Jiuniang would study the secrets of his saber technique alone to find a way to counter it. Over time, every move she developed was a method to counter the Breaking Snow Saber.
Whenever Duan Jiuniang discovered a counter method, she was naturally happy, knowing she had another reason to meet Li Zheng again. Duan Jiuniang traveled the Jianghu without understanding subtlety or diplomacy. Upon hearing that the Di Sha had spoken disrespectfully of Li Zheng, she disregarded the existing enmity she already had with them and deliberately fell into one of their insidious schemes.
News of Duan Jiuniang being poisoned was intentionally spread by the Di Sha to Li Zheng, naturally leading him to come to her rescue. Duan Jiuniang deeply believed that if Li Zheng had no feelings for her, he could have never met her again. Why did he come out to challenge her repeatedly, even keeping the earring from before by his side? And this time, he came to her rescue regardless of everything.
But Li Zheng's repeated rejections made Duan Jiuniang leave angrily. Li Zheng's worried gaze followed her departing back. His body was already weak. Whether he had feelings for her was truly difficult to discern, as he knew the outcome yet still acted to save her. Returning to the present, Zhou Fei couldn't bear to see Duan Jiuniang reduced to a county magistrate's concubine, suffering insults, and wanted to take her back to the Forty-Eight Stockades.
But alas, she herself was trapped here, so how could she boast so shamelessly? Just as Zhou Fei was feeling disheartened, Duan Jiuniang suddenly forcefully transferred her internal energy into Zhou Fei's body, causing her to fall unconscious, her life hanging in the balance. The Withered-Glory Maneuver has always been passed down through generations by transferring internal energy.
If a disciple's bone structure was poor or their resilience insufficient, they would die from being unable to withstand the powerful internal energy. Duan Jiuniang deeply believed that Li Zheng's descendants would not be so useless. Even if she unfortunately died, it would be better to die by her own family's hand than to suffer humiliation from others later.
At the critical moment of Zhou Fei's life, Magistrate Zhu suddenly arrived and asked if Duan Jiuniang could pay respects to her elder sister on his behalf. Through their conversation, Magistrate Zhu understood clearly about the unexpected guests in the backyard but remained calm. He even used Duan Jiuniang as an excuse to instruct his servants to send more food. In chaotic times, everyone has their own measure of preserving their lives and handling affairs.
It is difficult to distinguish between good and bad. Shen Tianshu deliberately released the news that Chen Zichen was trapped, which indeed caused Huo Liantao to make a move. He immediately led a team out of the city, unaware that he had fallen into someone else's trap. Xie Yun ordered Jia Chen to raid the scattered Di Sha disciples, disguising themselves as Di Sha members to follow them out of the city.
Meanwhile, Mister Bai used disguise to impersonate Shen Tianshu and assassinate Tong Tianyang's subordinates, inciting internal conflict between the two. Events progressed smoothly. Although the city gate guards remained completely still, having been 'cleaned' once, the Di Sha would never have expected Xie Yun to use the same trick again. Xie Yun sent one person to deliberately drive a carriage directly towards the city gate, attracting the Di Sha to chase after it.
Chen Zichen disguised himself as a Di Sha member and finally left the city in a grand manner, leaving Mister Bai to be at Xie Yun's disposal. At the same time, Old Madam Wang and her group, who had already found Li Sheng, were rushing towards Huarong when they coincidentally brushed past Tong Tianyang. Li Sheng recognized the red locust token; its pattern was exactly the same as the carving on the weapon that had killed his father.
The hatred for his father's killer instantly blinded his mind. Seeing that Tong Tianyang seemed heavily injured and isolated, Li Sheng indeed fell into the trap. Although Old Madam Wang arrived in time at the critical moment, Shen Tianshu's arrival sealed the outcome for that day. Li Sheng watched helplessly as everyone from the Forty-Eight Stockades died tragically on the spot due to his impulsiveness.
Yet, he still did not change his impulsive nature and could not understand Old Madam Wang's intention of protecting him with her life. In a moment of danger, a pair of hands tightly grabbed Li Sheng, who was overwhelmed with anger and wanted to continue charging forward to his death. Chongxiaozi released a hidden weapon, and a white mist rose. He leaped lightly on his feet and forcibly took Li Sheng away, escaping the danger.
