> Love and Redemption Recap

Qingrong blatantly ridiculed the massacre of the Xuanyuan Sect in front of Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng, and Dongfang's deep intention to protect his wife was evident. Qingrong invited Yu Sifeng to meet with her, flaunting her beauty and displaying her fragrance, but Yu Sifeng discerned that it was the Turtle and Snake Incense of the Zi Tong Mountain cult. Qingrong defended herself, saying she didn't know, and repeatedly tempted Yu Sifeng.

Seeing Dongfang about to enter the room, she shouted that Yu Sifeng was trying to assault her, enraging Dongfang again, who injured Yu Sifeng with his sword. Yu Sifeng calmly responded and explained the reason, but Dongfang found it difficult to distinguish the truth. Qingrong feigned anger, and Dongfang had no choice but to chase after his wife and leave.

Chu Xuanji applied medicine for Yu Sifeng, and Yu Sifeng explained that no matter how beautiful other women were, they meant nothing to him. Chu Xuanji didn't understand the meaning behind Yu Sifeng's words and thought it was because disciples of Lize Palace couldn't marry. Yu Sifeng further explained that he no longer needed to wear any mask of Lize Palace, and he could marry even if it violated the rules of Lize Palace.

Chu Xuanji wanted to take the abandoned Yu Sifeng back to Shao Yang, but Yu Sifeng continued to ask in what capacity he would go. Chu Xuanji, being ignorant of matters of the heart, didn't give Yu Sifeng the answer he wanted. Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng had to stay on Fuyu Island for a few more days to resolve the island master's troubles before going to find Chu Linglong and Xiao Liu Zi.

As for Shao Yang and Fuyu being quite close, Chu Xuanji had heard about the island master's wife when she was young. Years ago, the island master went to suppress evil and rescued the only surviving woman in a cave, bringing her back to Fuyu Island, where she became Madam Dongfang. Yu Sifeng speculated that Qingrong was also a demon, because a weak woman couldn't have survived at the hands of demons.

The poison that Dongfang had been hexed with must have been planted on the night of the full moon, and on the next full moon, Dongfang would lose his mind and be controlled by the demon. Dongfang seemed willing to drink the poisoned wine. Madam Qingrong had always been mysterious in the island master's heart.

The island master didn't even know that she could play the zither, but he fell in love with her at first sight and was even willing to give up cultivating immortality to be with her. Dongfang had known for a long time that Qingrong would poison him. Without waiting for Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng to remind him, Dongfang questioned Qingrong about everything she had done. It turned out that Qingrong was the Holy Maiden of the cult leader.

Years ago, Dongfang led the righteous sects to wipe out the Zi Tong Mountain cult, and Qingrong had always held a grudge. However, Dongfang was so infatuated with Qingrong that he not only let her go but also indulged in her tenderness. With this conspiracy exposed, Dongfang originally wanted to let Qingrong leave, but Qingrong changed her tough attitude and tried to gain Dongfang's sympathy by attempting suicide. With a few words, she subdued Dongfang.

Dongfang even personally explained Qingrong's behavior to Chu Xuanji and Yu Sifeng, looking immersed in happiness because Qingrong was pregnant. Chu Xuanji couldn't understand the matters between Dongfang and Qingrong at all, but Yu Sifeng saw through it. Regardless of whether a person is good or bad, there will be people who like or hate them.

Even if one is hurt by a loved one, it is not pitiable because as long as one is willing, one will find it sweet. Chu Xuanji always felt that the word "love" was too troublesome; she simply didn't understand it. Qingrong had been having an affair with the Fuyu Island butler and even wanted to use the Marrow Extraction Gu to control Dongfang. The child she was carrying was also the butler's.

Yu Sifeng put aside his worries and invited Chu Xuanji to enjoy the moonlight and taste fine wine. He secretly stole Dongfang Island Master's private collection of Hundred Flowers Dew Wine and carved words on the wine bottle to express his feelings. Just as Yu Sifeng was taking Chu Xuanji to the beach to drink, Yu Ning and Pian Pian, oblivious to the situation, took the initiative to join. Yu Sifeng had no choice but to join them.

Yu Sifeng cleverly suggested playing a game, but he won every time, drinking all the wine himself, leaving only one mouthful. He deliberately played the last round of the game with Chu Xuanji, letting Chu Xuanji win and drink the last mouthful of wine, so she could see the words of confession at the bottom of the bottle. Unfortunately, Yu Ning and Pian Pian, being greedy, wanted to beg for the last mouthful of wine and snatched the wine jar.

Although they saw Yu Sifeng's confession and ultimately passed it on to Chu Xuanji, Chu Xuanji still unintentionally missed it. Yu Sifeng had no choice but to take advantage of his drunkenness to grab Chu Xuanji, say his confession directly. But Chu Xuanji couldn't understand and even thought that Yu Sifeng, whose heartbeat was abnormal, was sick, intending to take Yu Sifeng to see a doctor.

Yu Sifeng could no longer suppress his emotions, pulled Chu Xuanji, and they both fell into a sea of flowers. When their eyes met, Yu Sifeng bluntly said that Chu Xuanji had taken off his mask and had to take responsibility for him. Chu Xuanji readily agreed, but Yu Sifeng's kiss was ultimately ruined by the fragrance of the flowers, and the two could only playfully tease each other.

Taking advantage of his drunkenness, Yu Sifeng wanted to use the Fuyu Island Marriage Stone to test their fate. According to records, if two people were destined to be together, the divine stone would show its power in front of the Marriage Stone. However, no matter how Yu Sifeng tested it, the stone didn't light up, and the drunken Yu Sifeng almost angrily smashed the stone. In the end, Chu Xuanji forcefully pulled him away.

The next day, Chu Xuanji thoughtfully fed Yu Sifeng hangover soup, but the Deputy Master of Lize Palace arrived on the island and saw Yu Sifeng's mask being taken off again. He sarcastically congratulated Yu Sifeng on having his mask taken off. With the Lover's Curse mask removed, Lize Palace would naturally no longer force Yu Sifeng to stay. The Deputy Master asked Yu Sifeng for the mask to take back as an explanation.

When the Deputy Master saw the sad face mask, he refused to let Yu Sifeng off the hook. The matter of the sad face mask was also something that Yu Sifeng had to bear and face alone. Yu Sifeng was willing to go back with the Deputy Master to explain everything clearly, but Chu Xuanji was worried that Yu Sifeng would be punished by Lize Palace again and feared that it would be difficult to see Yu Sifeng again.

She demanded a guarantee from the Deputy Master, otherwise, she wouldn't allow Yu Sifeng to leave. Even after getting a guarantee, she said that she would go to Lize Palace in a few days to personally bring Yu Sifeng back. Yu Sifeng was extremely touched to see Chu Xuanji protecting him with all her heart, looking at Chu Xuanji with affection. The Deputy Master suggested that the matter could only be resolved if Chu Xuanji married Yu Sifeng.

Chu Xuanji readily agreed, but the mask still didn't turn into a smiling face. The Deputy Master ordered to take Yu Sifeng away with a tough attitude, angering Chu Xuanji. Chu Xuanji not only destroyed the mask made of Kunlun tree bark but also rose into the air to confront the Deputy Master.

The Deputy Master was originally somewhat at a disadvantage, but fortunately, Hao Chen arrived on the island at this time and used the Tranquility Mantra to stop Chu Xuanji. The Deputy Master was also sarcastic towards Chu Lei. He recognized that Chu Xuanji was holding the Dingkun Divine Sword, but Chu Lei and Hao Chen naturally wouldn't admit it, shifting the topic to the Heavenly Ruins Hall and the matter of protecting the spiritual key. Even if the various sects didn't believe in the Heavenly Ruins Hall's actions, they had to be careful.
