Qingchuan's Veil of Vengean Episode 10 Recap
> Qingchuan's Veil of Vengean Recap
Mo Qingchuan fired her arrow by discerning sound and position, which reminded her of the past in the military camp—she always outperformed Mo Junyu in archery. Even back then, Mo Junyu had begun to envy Mo Qingchuan and constantly wanted to defeat her just once. This time, upon hearing that reinforcements had arrived but were shot down by his forces, Mo Junyu was elated, thinking he could finally win.
However, the tides of war shift rapidly, and before long, Mo Qingchuan had already led her troops to the battlefield. His subordinates urged Mo Junyu to flee, uncertain how many enemies had arrived. Mo Junyu could hardly believe it. Watching his men flee one by one, he had no choice but to rush down the mountain—only to be blocked by Mo Qingchuan at the mountain pass. Mo Qingchuan mocked Mo Junyu as nothing more than a useless commander.
With only twenty soldiers, she had defeated his elite force of two thousand. Mo Junyu nearly went mad, never expecting Mo Qingchuan to humiliate him in such a way. Mo Qingchuan told him to listen closely to the sounds outside—all the cries were from the Mo Army soldiers he had led to ruin. Mo Junyu was terrified and at a loss, but Mo Qingchuan did not kill him. Instead, she ordered him to leave.
Mo Qingchuan then led her troops to the prison and rescued Mo Qinglian. This was actually a plan she had shared with Mo Qinglian during a prior visit—warning him to be ready to be transferred at any moment and giving him a weapon. When the transfer came, Mo Qinglian used the weapon to kill those moving him and returned to the cell to wait for Mo Qingchuan’s arrival.
With dignity and composure, Mo Qingchuan rode through the streets with Mo Qinglian at her side. The townspeople buzzed with speculation as they watched Mo Qinglian return to his home. Seeing this, Zhou Zheng realized that Mo Qingchuan must have returned as well. When Zhou Zheng got home, he saw Mo Qingchuan calmly seated inside. He wasn’t surprised—instead, he simply sat down to continue eating the food he had just bought.
Mo Qingchuan directly asked why Zhou Zheng had helped conceal the truth. Zhou Zheng remained silent. Mo Qingchuan guessed it was for the sake of Cao Yuyan. To go to such lengths for a woman—yet whether that woman even loved him was uncertain. Zhou Zheng knew Mo Junyu was not a worthy match, but since Cao Yuyan was willing to endure everything with him, he could only devote himself to ensuring her lifetime of peace and joy.
Mo Qingchuan didn’t kill Zhou Zheng, but hoped he would live up to his own name. Zhou Zheng told her that she might not be able to touch Mo Junyu—behind him stood the Empress Dowager. Mo Junyu could be her blade, but Mo Qingchuan never could. When the Empress Dowager saw Xia Qiguang return victorious, she was furious that he had only taken ten men to suppress the bandits. If such news spread, it would bring disgrace to the court.
Cao Huaitai pushed all the blame onto the high-ranking officer who had accompanied Xia Qiguang. The officer had no choice but to bear the fault, but Xia Qiguang spoke in his defense. The Empress Dowager saw through it—it was clearly Cao Huaitai’s doing—and thus didn’t punish anyone. She instead praised Xia Qiguang for his loyalty, courage, and compassion.
Xia Qiguang told her that while eliminating Cloudmist Stronghold, he encountered someone who looked very much like Mo Qinglian—but the person had been taken away by Mo Wang. When Xia Qiguang returned, Mo Qingchuan was already waiting in the courtyard. She told him directly that she was Mo Qingchuan. Mo Qinglian’s return also meant her own return. She also confronted Xia Qiguang, asking why he had pretended not to know when he clearly did.
Xia Qiguang explained that ever since his master had once asked him what he would do if Mo Qingchuan returned and admitted to betraying them, he had been waiting for her to reveal her identity. He wanted to tell her, even if she personally confessed to being a traitor, he would still believe that it wasn’t her fault. His heart would always belong to her, unchanging.
Mo Qingchuan held back the tears in her eyes, turned her head, smiled at Xia Qiguang, and took the initiative to teach him Dawn Break Form III. Early the next morning, Zhou Zheng sat at the doorway, watching as a corpse was carried out of Mo Junyu’s house. Mo Junyu stepped out of the room and, seeing Zhou Zheng, actually revealed a faint smile.
