Novoland: The Castle in the Sky Episode 7 Recap
> Novoland: The Castle in the Sky Recap
Upon waking, Yi Fuling learned that Bai Xue had withdrawn her troops, which made her realize Feng Tianyi’s harsh treatment was actually a protective measure to shield her from his negotiations with the human race. This understanding deepened her affection for him, although Feng Tianyi continued to speak coldly and confined her to Fengyan Du. Unbeknownst to Yi Fuling, Bai Xue had spread news throughout Frost City that Yi Fuling's father, Yi Qianji, was to be executed.
Bai Xue aimed to use this familial bond to lure Yi Fuling out. Feng Tianyi had been keeping Yi Fuling imprisoned and the news strictly sealed to prevent her from acting impulsively. He tasked Yu Haizhen with designing a torturous mechanism. Misinterpreting this as a device for Yi Fuling, Yu Haizhen injured the guards and secretly helped Yi Fuling escape in the night. Their escape was short-lived, as Feng Tianyi soon recaptured them.
Yu Haizhen, still believing Feng Tianyi was cruel, vowed revenge. Meanwhile, Bai Tingjun secretly met with Feng Tianyi to finalize a plan to rescue Yi Qianji three days later during his execution, keeping Yi Fuling completely unaware. Feng Tianyi made all the arrangements, intending to send Yi Fuling and her father to safety while he and the Winged Tribe bore the risk of war with the Human Tribe. Three days later, Feng Tianyi mobilized his forces.
Bai Tingjun, preparing to lead his Baiyue Legion to rendezvous, was drugged by Bai Xue right outside his palace. Bai Xue, never trusting Bai Tingjun's commitment to forsaking Yi Fuling, had prepared for his anticipated betrayal. At the same time, Yi Fuling feigned illness to escape her guards. As she was cornered, Yu Haizhen, who had overheard news of Yi Qianji’s impending execution, used his Liuguang Feihuan to incapacitate the guards and informed Yi Fuling.
They then realized Feng Tianyi’s previous actions were all part of his plan to rescue Yi Qianji. However, Yu Haizhen, still harboring resentment from his earlier misunderstanding, had tampered with Feng Tianyi's Liuguang Feihuan. Unwilling for Feng Tianyi to risk himself further, Yi Fuling decided to rescue her father herself. Bai Tingjun eventually regained consciousness and was informed of Bai Xue's treachery.
At the execution ground, Feng Tianyi, unaware of the changed circumstances, charged in with his troops and fell directly into Bai Xue's trap. Yi Fuling and Yu Haizhen arrived just as Bai Xue was forcing Yi Fuling to accept coronation as the crown prince consort. During the ceremony, Yi Fuling used a hidden weapon to take Bai Xue hostage, securing Yi Qianji's release.
However, this "Yi Qianji" was merely a disguised imposter; the real Yi Qianji remained imprisoned in a secret chamber. Bai Tingjun, rushing to the scene, shot and killed the imposter. Misunderstanding his actions and believing her father had been killed by Bai Tingjun, Yi Fuling was heartbroken. Feng Tianyi forcibly pulled Yi Fuling away, helping her escape the execution ground. Yu Haizhen valiantly held off the pursuing troops to ensure their escape.
The pursuers drove Feng Tianyi and Yi Fuling to a cliff. Feng Tianyi, who had taken an arrow for Yi Fuling at the execution ground and was gravely wounded, deployed Yu Haizhen’s fabricated wings, and together they jumped off the cliff, falling from mid-air. Unable to find their bodies, Bai Xue was convinced they were alive and ordered the city gates sealed.
During this time, a Western sorcerer, Mr. Jin, claiming to master face-changing techniques, offered Bai Xue a powerful drug called Black Tuoluo, comparable to the Xiu Luo Dan. After obtaining the drug, Bai Xue ruthlessly killed the sorcerer and then forced the real Yi Qianji to ingest the Black Tuoluo, causing his face to slowly begin changing.
