Qingchuan's Veil of Vengean Episode 2 Recap
> Qingchuan's Veil of Vengean Recap
When Xia Qiguang was a child, Shen Zhaorong lived in the capital with him, separated from her husband, and promised to take good care of Xia Qiguang. Prince Jing left reluctantly. Xia Qiguang saw this scene again in his dream and woke up in shock. Seeing the bandaged wound on his wrist, he recalled that the butler had cut his wrist the night before. Jiang Kui was thrilled to see Xia Qiguang coming out of his room.
She had been taking care of him for over ten days, and now that he was awake, she no longer had to. She excitedly handed the medicine pot to Xia Qiguang and was about to leave, but was stopped by Mo Wang, who had just returned. Xia Qiguang remembered that this was the master his father had begged for him, and the thought of his father’s tragic death made him ask to see Prince Jing.
But Mo Wang coldly told him that she had already burned Prince Jing's body, which was just an empty shell. Furious that he didn’t get to see his father one last time, Xia Qiguang argued, but Mo Wang coldly reminded him that the farewell outside the city was his final goodbye, and he should remember that moment.
She also told him that he had to choose: either to become someone like his father who endured the darkness or to walk away entirely. But once he chose, there should be no regrets. Xia Qiguang bitterly declared that he would avenge his father. Mo Wang then told him that the people of the Suoque Sect had been ambushed under orders. Behind it all was the imperial court. The Suoque Sect was composed of death row convicts.
She deliberately set a fire, destroying all evidence, including the fact that Xia Qiguang was still alive. Now, to the outside world, Xia Qiguang was a dead man. Xia Qiguang thanked her for her help, but Mo Wang reminded him that if he had actually attacked her earlier, it would have been a betrayal of master and ancestors. However, considering his grief over his father’s death, she would go easy and punish him with kneeling for an hour.
Jiang Kui was secretly delighted—Mo Wang was like a demon king. But before she could gloat, she too was punished and sent to watch over the medicine. Although punished, Xia Qiguang seemed to see his father again and remembered what he had said before.
In his father’s eyes, although Mo Wang was a mix of eccentric genius, lunatic, and death warrior, the rise of the Cicada Agency was thanks to her, and if it ever perished, it would also be because of her. No matter what, she was the one most worthy of trust. Mo Wang stood alone in a bamboo grove with her hands behind her back, waiting for Qi Yun, the deputy general of the Mo Army's vanguard unit, to arrive.
Unable to contain his eagerness, Qi Yun tried to spar with her, only to find that she had lost all her inner strength. Mo Wang explained that her internal power had been abolished. Enraged, Qi Yun knelt and paid respects to her—it turned out that Mo Wang was none other than Mo Qingchuan from years ago. The Mo Army had been disbanded for four years.
Mo Wang insisted that from now on, no one was to call her Mo Qingchuan—only Mo Wang. She appointed Qi Yun as the new manager of the capital's storefront, reminding him that in business, he must be amiable and not scare off customers with his soldierly demeanor. Qi Yun would go undercover at the Cicada Agency, gathering intelligence.
Meanwhile, they deliberately leaked information—now everyone knew that the leader of the Cicada Agency was not Prince Jing, but a mysterious woman named Mo Wang, the most brilliant master in the world. Once the Young Lord returned to the capital, his orphan status would stir public sympathy. The imperial court had also discovered the Suoque Sect and would soon make arrests. What Mo Wang worried about now was her mother.
Luckily, she would be returning to the capital soon, and Mo Wang intended to personally visit Mo Junyu, the Grand Commandant. At the same time, Cao Ling’an and Mo Junyu were discussing the assassination of Prince Jing. They knew that the person who had deliberately left clues about the Suoque Sect wanted them to wipe it out—but they had no choice but to follow through.
Mo Wang removed the bandages from Xia Qiguang’s wrist and saw the injury was serious—it would take a while to heal. She told Jiang Kui to train with him in one-handed combat. When Xia Qiguang sparred with Jiang Kui, he quickly picked up her moves, surprising Mo Wang with his talent, though she did not show it. She then handed him a book for self-training. Xia Qiguang trained every day, but progress was slow.
From Jiang Kui, he learned that Mo Wang got up early every day to exercise—she was a total devil, and not worth learning from. But Mo Wang trained even harder. One day when she returned, she said she was going to the Suoque Sect. Xia Qiguang, practicing nearby, immediately asked to go with her, and Mo Wang agreed. On a slope not far from the Suoque Sect, several people were watching, curious to see who the court would send.
They were surprised to see it was a major general of the Black Armor Army, prompting Mo Wang to sarcastically remark that the Xia dynasty was rotten to the core. They entered the main hall and intercepted Cao Ling’an, who had just finished killing someone. Cao Ling’an asked Xia Qiguang to come back with him and plead with the Empress Dowager. Xia Qiguang demanded to know why he killed Prince Jing, but Cao Ling’an flatly denied it.
Mo Wang told Xia Qiguang to fight him using his other hand—good practice. With Mo Wang’s guidance, Xia Qiguang easily defeated Cao Ling’an. Mo Wang interrogated Cao Ling’an about who was behind the manipulation of the Suoque Sect, but he refused to speak. In a rage, she killed him. She then said she was heading to the capital and asked Xia Qiguang if he would go with her.
Remembering his father's words—that Mo Wang was the most trustworthy—Xia Qiguang sincerely knelt and acknowledged her as his master. Jiang Kui was overjoyed—she finally had a junior disciple. Mo Wang said she wanted Xia Qiguang to become a major general in the Black Armor Army. Xia Qiguang replied that the army was too dirty. But Mo Wang said a military unit was only as good as its leadership. Seeing the determination in her eyes, Xia Qiguang understood and immediately agreed. Soon, the group arrived in the capital. Last time, when they returned, Mo Wang was still Mo Qingchuan and was welcomed with fanfare. But now, everything had changed.
