The Seven Relics of ill Omen Episode 21 Recap
> The Seven Relics of ill Omen Recap
Luo Ren drove to the old street near the border, a place teeming with all sorts of shady characters. He finally sat down at a quiet barbecue stall. As he poured himself a drink, Qingmu arrived. Qingmu said he hadn’t returned home in the past two years, because his brothers would never return again, so he didn’t deserve to either.
Even though they hadn’t kept in touch, Qingmu had always been keeping tabs on Luo Ren—he knew everything about Luo Ren’s life. He was angry that Luo Ren had left the past behind and forgotten them. Luo Ren passionately refuted this—he hadn’t forgotten, especially not his daughter, Tasha. In those years of gunfire and chaos, Luo Ren had lost so much.
When he was shot and on the verge of death, it was Qingmu who placed him near the old street, fulfilling his wish to return to his roots. Qingmu said he had gone back to the old lair of the Leopard. The scene of the battle was still intact. The Leopard had taken several bullets, and one of her eyes had been wounded by Luo Ren, but Qingmu never found her body. Without a corpse, he couldn’t live in peace.
He kept asking around afterward, but never got any news. Luo Ren said he had also looked into it and found nothing. The reason Qingmu asked to meet this time was that he believed the Leopard was still alive. If the Leopard truly was alive, she would definitely come for Luo Ren. Qingmu told Luo Ren he had already decided to take revenge, and Luo Ren agreed to join him.
If they didn’t kill the Leopard, then Luo Ren and everyone around him—his friends, his loved ones—would become her targets. Mu Dai wanted to call Luo Ren to let him know she was safe, but Thirteen-Thousand stayed behind and didn’t want to go with her. As Mu Dai was walking toward the edge of the village, she heard a strange noise. Following the sound, she discovered a cave where Cao Yanhua was tied up.
As she cautiously approached, a shadow suddenly flashed past her, and the ground beneath her feet gave way—she fell in. The mystic informed Luo Ren that the Star Viewing Terrace could track the movements of all seven Heart Brands. One star corresponded to one Heart Brand. The brightness indicated whether a Heart Brand had emerged into the world. Since five stars were lit, it meant five Heart Brands had already appeared.
When Thirteen-Thousand got tired of waiting for Mu Dai, he climbed into bed alone—just as he lay down, the door suddenly opened, and Yafeng entered. She pleaded with Thirteen-Thousand to help her escape, then left the room herself. Thirteen-Thousand went out to look for Mu Dai but was suddenly kicked into a pit. Mu Dai carefully bandaged her fingers one by one. While investigating the area, she found skeletal remains and a pile of silver coins.
The locations where the Tian Kui Seven Stars aligned with the Heart Brands confirmed that the fifth one had appeared in Caojia Village. Luo Ren rushed there, but the road was blocked. He parked the car, marked the location, and sent it to Yan Hongsha before entering the village on foot. Luo Ren went to Cao Qingshan’s home to ask about Mu Dai and Thirteen-Thousand’s whereabouts. Cao Qingshan claimed they had left early in the morning.
It was still raining, and night had fallen. Cao Qingshan arranged a place for Luo Ren to stay. Luo Ren asked why Cao Yanhua still hadn’t been seen. Luo Ren brushed it off, saying Cao Yanhua wanted to surprise him. The next morning, Luo Ren went to look for Cao Jinhua, who said she only talked with Mu Dai and the others about insurance. Then Luo Ren went to see Yafeng and asked about Mu Dai and Thirteen-Thousand.
Yafeng didn’t speak, just cried continuously. Luo Ren picked up a hair clip from the ground, pricked his finger with it until it bled, and handed it to Yafeng. She had no reaction. Eventually, Yafeng told him the people he was looking for were in a cave halfway up the mountain.
