My Dear Brothers Episode 30 Recap
> My Dear Brothers Recap
Witnessing his father’s attempts to protect him and cover up the truth, Bi Hong stepped forward to confess that he was the one who killed Elder Yuan Gui. He declared, "Then it should have been my life instead," and then, "All mark my words. I was the murderer of elder Yuan Gui." To prove his words, Qiu Li projected an image from his eye-sight, revealing the moment of the killing.
Bi Hong confirmed everything, explaining that he murdered Yuan Gui to take his eyes, which allowed him to regain his sight. Bi Hong further elaborated that his new eyes were indeed Elder Yuan Gui's, which is why they contained Yuan Gui's memories, confirming the truth of the image.
Then, Bi Hong and Qiu Li exposed Yuan Zhao as a hypocrite, revealing that Bi Hong was not just Yuan Zhao's illegitimate son but Qiu Li's own brother, and their mother was Qiu Ya, the former Immortal Aunt of the Devil Sect. They also fully disclosed that Yuan Zhao had abandoned his wife and taken Bi Hong's spiritual root to give to Hou Chi.
Qiu Li vowed revenge for the Devil Lord, declaring, "Each one of you here did your part in hurting Devil Lord. None of you will walk out of here alive." Yuan Zhao tried to stop her, but Qiu Li asserted he couldn't stop her forever and threatened to dismember everyone present.
Bi Hong then declared, "I have the blood of devil in me, so I'm bound to return to Devil Sect," and threatened Yuan Zhao, hinting at a secret: "As for what you took from me and who you gave them to, you know better than anyone else." With these revelations, Bi Hong and Qiu Li left. Yuan Zhao attempted to depart, but the orthodox sects, enraged by the disclosures, blocked him.
They accused him of colluding with the Devil Sect and demanded Hou Chi surrender the Alliance Lord's Seal, claiming Hou Chi was unfit to rule. Hou Chi stepped forward, stating that while his Master had erred, he was the one who committed the killing, and any grievances should be directed at him. Yuan Zhao then offered to resign from his position as sect leader to appease the crowd.
However, he clarified that Hou Chi's appointment as Alliance Lord was chosen by Shen Guan and must be decided by her. He then summoned Shen Guan. Shen Guan appeared, declaring, "I'm aware of what happened today. Hou Chi's position as the head was what meant to be. It has nothing to do with sect conflicts. So Hou Chi should still be the head of Immortals Alliance."
She added, "I'll hear no further discussions," and ordered Hou Chi to report to the Wuwang Temple the following day for his inauguration. Later, at an inn, Yuan Zhao informed Qing Feng and Yi Yaogua that he had resigned as sect leader and passed the position to Senior Yuan Ye. He instructed them to escort Hou Chi to the Wuwang Temple for his inauguration. Unexpectedly, Qing Feng requested permission to leave the Yuhua Sect.
She explained, "Many things happened these days. Some of them troubled me with confusion. As for the conflict between the Immortals and Devils, and the gap between right from wrong. I was confused." She wished to "go my own way, and do my own deed." Yi Yaogua immediately decided to accompany Qing Feng.
Yuan Zhao, no longer the sect leader, told them he could not interfere with their decisions, and that although he couldn't appear, he would definitely watch over Hou Chi. With a shared understanding, Qing Feng bid farewell to her Master and Hou Chi, and Yi Yaogua followed suit. After they left, Yuan Zhao confided in Hou Chi, saying, "I must have let you down." Hou Chi reassured him, "But I have been following your words ever since I was young.
I believe that there must be sound reasons behind all your actions." Yuan Zhao expressed his wish that Bi Hong were half as sensible as Hou Chi. Hou Chi offered to help Yuan Zhao convince Bi Hong to return, but Yuan Zhao simply said, "If he is unwilling to return, just let him be." Yuan Zhao then solemnly instructed Hou Chi, "Tomorrow you'll enjoy the highlight of your life.
No matter what happens tomorrow, you must get to the Wuwang Temple. Do not turn back." Qing Feng walked ahead, but Yi Yaogua quickly caught up, asking why she didn't wait. Qing Feng replied that they were no longer fellow disciples and had no connection, so they should go their separate ways. Yi Yaogua then embraced and kissed her, playfully claiming, "You already kissed me, we do have connections now. From now on, you are my woman."
He promised to give her a warm home, recognizing her past feeling of being homeless. Qing Feng, though bashful, accepted him, warning him, "If you dare to kiss me without consent again, I will break your legs." Yi Yaogua promised only she could kiss him at will. Qing Feng then proposed their first task: to go to the bottom of the cliff to retrieve Shi Xia and Shi Dong's bodies for a proper burial.
As they were discussing this, Hou Chi appeared. Qing Feng, still believing Hou Chi was responsible for Shi Xia's death, declared she would never forgive him. Hou Chi, however, offered to help them find Shi Xia and Shi Dong, and the two skeptically followed him. Hou Chi led them to a cave where Shi Dong and Shi Xia lay asleep on beds. He explained that Shi Dong was fine and merely sleeping, and that he had already ensured their safety.
Hou Chi revealed his weakened state due to the Evil Aura, and stated that a ring he gave Shi Xia would protect her in his absence. He then asked Qing Feng and Yi Yaogua to hide them, take good care of them, and not to tell them what truly transpired or that he was the one who saved them. Qing Feng and Yi Yaogua questioned why Hou Chi insisted on remaining strangers if he cared for Shi Xia.
Hou Chi explained, "Only if I never meet Shi Xia again can she be safe all her life." Shi Xia woke up with a start, wondering where she was and if she had somehow time-traveled after dying. She saw Qing Feng, who, following Hou Chi's instructions, fabricated a story. Qing Feng told her that she and Yi Yaogua had found Shi Xia and Shi Dong lying in the wilderness after their fall and were lucky to be alive.
She advised Shi Xia to stay hidden for a while until things settled down. Just then, Yi Yaogua entered, proudly announcing that he and Qing Feng were now together, had left the Yuhua Sect, and established the Qingcheng Sect. He declared himself Qing Feng's fiancé and that his family's properties would be Qingcheng Sect's base. Shi Xia, amazed at their rapid progress, teasingly asked for wedding candy.
She then quickly got up to check on Shi Dong, who was in the adjacent room. Shi Xia tended to Shi Dong's wound, still feeling resentment towards Hou Chi. Shi Dong playfully pointed out that she still wore Hou Chi's ring, to which Shi Xia replied she had just forgotten to take it off and asked him to throw it away, claiming it bothered her. Shi Dong took the ring, pretending to discard it, but secretly held onto it.
Later, Hou Chi secretly watched Shi Xia from afar, gazing at a crystal ball she had given him, which depicted the scenery of their shared home. Shi Xia, meanwhile, was drinking heavily, lamenting her feelings for Hou Chi and regretting discarding his ring. She questioned why he didn't trust her, and called him "the coldest, hardest, and the most stupid piece of log in this world."
She defiantly declared she would find a new boyfriend who was "sweet, gentle, and considerate," and "taller and finer than you." Despite her outward anger, she confessed, "Even if you are merciless to me, I cannot forget the kindness you showed me." She expressed a wish for Hou Chi's upcoming inauguration, hoping that "whatever the Divine Seal foretold never comes true." Overwhelmed by emotion and alcohol, Shi Xia fainted.
Hou Chi rushed to her side, caught her as she fell, and held her close. He carried her back to her room, and as he turned to leave, Shi Xia's eyes fluttered open. Believing she was dreaming or hallucinating from drink, she decided not to let the "dream Hou Chi" escape and embraced him, pulling him into a kiss.
