My Journey To You Episode 7 Recap
> My Journey To You Recap
Yun Weishan was recognized by Jin Fan for using the Qingfeng Sect’s exclusive sword technique—Qingfeng Nine Forms. Since the Qingfeng Sect had already pledged allegiance to Wu Feng, Jin Fan questioned whether Yun Weishan was associated with Wu Feng. Yun Weishan explained pitifully that she came from an ordinary family and that over a decade ago, her father, while doing business, happened upon Zhuo Mei, who was being pursued by the Qingfeng Sect.
He saved her, and Zhuo Mei, out of gratitude, taught Yun Weishan the sword technique. However, Jin Fan did not believe this explanation. Yun Weishan added that Zhuo Mei had another motive—she wanted revenge and entrusted Yun Weishan to avenge her. Zhuo Mei had once been betrayed by her senior sister over love. Gong Zishang had heard of Zhuo Mei, who had stirred up a great commotion in the martial world back then.
Since Zhuo Mei had passed away, they couldn’t verify Yun Weishan’s story, but they could see her sincere intention to help Gong Ziyu. So, Jin Fan and Gong Zishang agreed to let Yun Weishan assist Gong Ziyu in his trial in the back mountain. Yun Weishan continued to play her cards, claiming she had heard from Shangguan Qian that Gong Shangjue and Gong Yuanzheng were plotting against Gong Ziyu, although she didn’t know the exact details.
This statement finally made Gong Zishang and Jin Fan lower their guard and start planning how to send Yun Weishan into the back mountain. Gong Zishang clung to Jin Fan every day, which irritated him but left him helpless. Gong Zishang knew Jin Fan was utterly loyal to Gong Ziyu, yet she jokingly tested her importance in his heart—whether she or Gong Ziyu mattered more. Jin Fan deeply bowed and chose Gong Ziyu.
Although Gong Zishang had expected this outcome, it still hurt her, and tears welled up in her eyes. As Gong Ziyu entered the cave, he encountered Elder Yue, who worried that Gong Ziyu, new to such an environment, might not adapt well and decided to accompany him for a while. As per tradition, Gong Ziyu had to be blindfolded. While walking, Elder Yue reminded him not to hesitate in his actions and not to regret his decisions.
He wasn’t doing this for himself anymore but bore the future of the entire Gong family and hoped he could stay firm on this path. Gong Ziyu silently counted the steps and asked Elder Yue if he was being led in circles. Elder Yue praised his carefulness and explained they were ascending, not moving on the same plane. Elder Yue led Gong Ziyu out of the cave.
When Gong Ziyu removed the blindfold, he was faced with his first trial—the Snow Palace. He hadn’t expected to see such a snowy scene in the back mountain, but he had no time to admire it, eager only to pass the trial. Young Master Xue and Xue Zhongzi welcomed him. Young Master Xue told him not to rush, that there was still time, and that he could rest before starting the trial.
Meanwhile, Jin Fan prepared a night outfit for Yun Weishan and mentioned he had something important to give her. He and Gong Zishang planned to distract the guards at the mountain entrance so Yun Weishan could slip in. Yun Weishan needed to enter the back mountain quickly because among the items she had prepared for Gong Ziyu was a scented sachet.
She could use the scent to find him, but the scent would only last for a maximum of twelve hours. Any delay would make tracking him difficult. Upon entering the cave, she found that the scent had nearly dissipated due to the smell from the candles lining the walls. The cave was filled with traps, so Yun Weishan tied up her braid and cautiously moved forward.
Xue Zhongzi led Gong Ziyu to a room to rest and gestured for him to eat. Gong Ziyu thought he was mute, and Xue Zhongzi simply played along. Young Master Xue lamented the increasingly dense miasma in the back mountain and hoped the new Sword Wielder could bear the responsibility and improve the environment. Xue Zhongzi didn’t have much faith in Gong Ziyu, given his low evaluation within the Gong family.
Xue Zhongzi handed a jade ring to Young Master Xue, asking him to take Gong Ziyu to the Ice Lotus Pool for his trial. The pool was located in Gong Ziyu’s room. Young Master Xue used the ring to unlock a tightly shut door, and the three entered a cold-filled room. He explained the first trial: beneath the cold pool lay a treasure chest containing the long-lost "Three Frost Techniques.
" Gong Ziyu had to endure the extreme cold and dive to retrieve the technique to pass. However, due to his natural cold constitution, this was an enormous challenge. Even Gong Shangjue was barely breathing when he completed this trial. Both Young Master Xue and Xue Zhongzi were not optimistic about Gong Ziyu’s chances. In the Jue lineage courtyard, Shangguan Qian led the servants in planting azaleas.
Gong Shangjue saw this and was furious, accusing her of making assumptions about his intentions. Gong Yuanzheng added fuel to the fire. Gong Shangjue ordered the servants to remove everything except the white flowers. Shangguan Qian felt a bit disappointed, but the servants were excited. Gong Shangjue’s change hinted that Shangguan Qian had a place in his heart. Ming Wuji, seeing Gong Zishang troubled by love, felt some pity.
She advised Gong Zishang to embrace her role as palace master and perhaps use the "play hard to get" strategy—maybe someday, Jin Fan would be chasing after her. When Ming Wuji returned to her room, she found the Gong Shangjue brothers had entered uninvited. Knowing they wouldn’t come without a reason, Gong Yuanzheng stated they wanted to know Gong Ziyu’s background. Gong Shangjue promised to help Ming Wuji leave the Gong residence and ensure no trouble would come her way.
Ming Wuji asked why they were so interested in Gong Ziyu’s origins. Gong Shangjue replied that he didn’t care personally, but if Gong Ziyu were to become the Sword Wielder, the truth must be uncovered. Yun Weishan failed to pass through the traps in the cave and was knocked unconscious. Xue Zhongzi rescued her and prepared an antidote, though he was suspicious of her identity. She claimed she had mistakenly entered the back mountain, yet she wore a night outfit.
Gong Ziyu had not fully prepared for the cold pool trial and returned to his room to warm up. Young Master Xue made him an herbal soup with snow lotus. Suddenly, they heard a commotion outside and rushed out to see Xue Zhongzi fighting with Yun Weishan. Gong Ziyu tried to intervene, but Young Master Xue stopped him. Yun Weishan was clearly no match for Xue Zhongzi.
