> Resumos de Who Rules The World
Yu Wuyuan arrived uninvited at the Tianshuang Sect, where Bai Jiande expressed surprise at his presence during his planned retirement. Yu Wuyuan claimed he was merely passing by to pay his respects. Bai Jiande then presented a jade pendant, inquiring about its origins.
Yu Wuyuan recognized it as a gift from his father at birth but stated he lost it ten years ago during a fire at Qionglin Park, caused by a bandit he was too weak to stop at the time. He then questioned how Bai Jiande acquired it. Bai Jiande explained he found it by chance, and an old jade carver from the Yongzhou Royal Palace, who had carved it for the Yu family, identified it.
This jade pendant, Bai Jiande revealed, was connected to a friend's death. He then asked Yu Wuyuan if he knew about the Token Keepers, admitting that he was one himself and that during his investigation into the fake Empyrean Token, he found the pendant, linking the perpetrator to the Qionglin Park incident. Yu Wuyuan promised to investigate further and share any findings, allowing Bai Jiande to keep the pendant.
However, inwardly, Yu Wuyuan decided that Bai Jiande knew too much and would need to be eliminated. Later that evening, Bai Jiande spoke with Bai Fengxi, announcing his retirement the following day to travel and reconnect with old friends. He acknowledged that Bai Fengxi was the best choice for the sect's leader, but her identity and circumstances prevented her from staying.
Bai Fengxi then suggested Bai Langhua for the position, arguing that despite her youth and immaturity, her martial arts skills and understanding of the Tianshuang Sect's spirit made her suitable. She further proposed that Jiurong, with his mild disposition and diplomatic skills, could serve as Deputy Leader to assist Langhua. Bai Jiande agreed to this arrangement. He then asked Bai Fengxi about her own plans, suggesting she return to Qingzhou due to the escalating conflicts.
Bai Fengxi replied that Qingzhou did not need her at the moment, and she would remain wherever Hei Fengxi was, willing to support his ambition if he truly loved her and sought to bring peace to the world. Bai Jiande, who regarded Bai Fengxi as his own daughter, advised her to always be cautious and vigilant, never forgetting the dangers of the world, and wished her true happiness.
The next morning, the Tianshuang Sect was rocked by the news of Bai Jiande’s murder. Bai Langhua, distraught, accused Bai Fengxi, who was the last person to see her father alive, of killing him for the leadership position. She pointed to her father's shriveled and wrinkled hands, evidence she claimed of poison. Hei Fengxi tried to intervene, suggesting there was a misunderstanding and promising to investigate the complex matter to find the true killer.
Langhua dismissed his words, accusing both Bai Fengxi and Hei Fengxi of being accomplices, one poisoning, the other covering up, and even disparaging Hei Fengxi. Bai Fengxi denied the accusations, stating she had no desire for the leadership or any ulterior motives. As the crowd grew agitated and some suggested detaining Bai Fengxi, Hei Fengxi declared, "Fountain Abode is here! Make way!" and attempted to leave with Bai Fengxi.
Langhua, in a fit of rage, drew her sword and stabbed Bai Fengxi. With her remaining strength, Bai Fengxi urged Hei Fengxi not to harm anyone. Hei Fengxi then forcibly took the severely wounded Bai Fengxi away, seeking refuge in a dilapidated temple outside the city. Inside the temple, Hei Fengxi desperately searched for a physician. Bai Fengxi, gravely injured, began to speak of what might happen if she died.
Hei Fengxi cut her off, refusing to accept such an outcome, and swore that if the Grim Reaper dared to take her, he would storm Hell itself and tear down the Hall of Yama to bring her back. Bai Fengxi, accepting of her fate, expressed contentment with their shared experiences and urged Hei Fengxi to live well. Hei Fengxi confessed that his life had found purpose only after meeting her and he couldn't imagine living without her.
He then remembered the Lan Yin Flower (also known as Sacred Jade Moon), a rare flower given to him by Old Taiyin, which possessed powerful vitality. He chewed its petals and fed them to the unconscious Bai Fengxi. Unexpectedly, this act not only began to heal Bai Fengxi but also restored his own inner force, which he then used to administer the medicine more effectively. Three days later, Bai Fengxi awakened.
Hei Fengxi explained that the Lan Yin Flower had saved her life and, surprisingly, restored his own inner force. He assured her that Zhong Li and others had kept Tianshuang Sect safe, and Bai Langhua had officially taken over as Leader, with Bai Jiande having been buried two days prior.
Bai Fengxi still felt uneasy about her master’s death, and Hei Fengxi revealed that Bai Jiande’s death resembled his mother’s, both having shriveled, puckered skin on their hands, suggesting they were victims of the same poison. Bai Fengxi realized this was a deliberate frame-up designed to cause unrest within the Tianshuang Sect. Hei Fengxi suspected a connection to the fake Empyrean Token, a matter her master had never mentioned.
Just then, Han Pu arrived, having secretly followed them, worried about Bai Fengxi. He reported that he had secretly examined Bai Jiande's body with a silver needle and found no trace of poison. Hei Fengxi then asked if Han Pu knew of any poisons undetectable by silver needles. Han Pu confirmed such a poison existed, named Qianji, a secret concoction of the Dadong Imperial Family, whose existence was discovered by chance by his ancestors, who served as Imperial Physicians.
Realizing the involvement of the Dadong Imperial Family, Hei Fengxi decided they must travel to the Imperial City. Bai Fengxi agreed, but first wished to visit Bai Jiande's tomb, where she reminisced about their time together, recalling his strict but loving guidance and the peace she found in her memories of the sect.
Meanwhile, in Qingzhou, Feng Xingtao’s son, Feng Xiyue, received grim news from Physician Liu that his father, Feng Xingtao, the Lord of Qingzhou, was suffering from a worsening heart and lung condition and had only months, possibly a little over a month, to live. The Lord of Qingzhou summoned his son, acknowledging his impending death.
He advised his son to be a benevolent ruler, prioritizing the welfare of the people, and to uphold Qingzhou’s ancestral teachings of choosing a wise leader and stabilizing the realm. He warned of the long-standing animosity with Youzhou and the potential invasion following the marriage between the Princess of Youzhou and the Heir of Jizhou. He made his son promise to defend Qingzhou’s territory and protect its people from the ravages of war.
Finally, he expressed a desire to see his daughter, Feng Xiyun, one last time, instructing his son to find her. In Youzhou, Huang Chao and Hua Chunran celebrated their wedding with the Lord of Youzhou. News arrived that the Heir of Qingzhou had been managing state affairs for two months. The Lord of Youzhou, knowing Feng Xingtao's meticulous nature, immediately deduced that the Lord of Qingzhou's health was failing.
He saw this as a divine opportunity to invade Qingzhou, an "opening" that Yu Wuyuan had previously alluded to. He declared his intent to reclaim past losses and present Qingzhou as a wedding gift to Hua Chunran. Huang Chao readily agreed to join the campaign, eager to challenge Qingzhou’s formidable Fengyun Cavalry. Soon after, Hei Fengxi and Bai Fengxi, accompanied by Zhong Li, arrived in the Dadong Imperial City.
They sought out Tie Dajiangjia, the Head of Wuyun Thirty-Eight Strongholds, whom Bai Fengxi knew from a past confrontation. Bai Fengxi explained their need to enter the Imperial City's hidden market, which had clues regarding Qianji. Tie Dajiangjia recognized Hei Fengxi; Bai Fengxi then confirmed his identity by showing a drawing she had of him. Tie Dajiangjia was initially amused by their relationship but then explained the hidden market’s rules.
To deal with prominent figures like the "Supreme Physician" regarding clues about Qianji, they would need masks denoting higher status than a "Black Mask," such as the "Silver Mask" or Tie Dajiangjia's "Gold-line Mask," indicating a "very rich veteran." He affirmed his stronghold’s reformed ways and agreed to procure three suitable masks to facilitate their entry into the clandestine market.
