Love's Rebellion Episode 3 Recap
> Love's Rebellion Recap
Ji Yang was enraged that the talisman genie had used him to harm someone, so he entered the sea of consciousness to severely punish it. He decided to stay here to recuperate, waiting for the day the Filth Valley opened to gather both the upper and lower volumes, striving to obtain the Seven Sins Manual without endangering Nan Yan's life. While he was thinking, noise erupted outside the door.
Nan Yan opened the door and saw Meng Ying, Fu Lang, and others standing there. Although Fu Lang apologized to Nan Yan as ordered by his master, it was clearly perfunctory. Meng Ying, on the other hand, misunderstood the relationship between Nan Rao and her father, and ordered Nan Yan and her mother to immediately leave the Lunar Sect. Just as Meng Ying was about to compete with Nan Yan in poison techniques, she suddenly felt unwell.
Everyone suspected Nan Yan had poisoned her. However, after Nan Yan's diagnosis, it turned out to be caused by Meng Ying privately practicing a core-forming cultivation technique, resulting in blocked spiritual meridians. Nan Yan did not expose Meng Ying on the spot, intentionally admitting to poisoning her, and gifted her several spiritual pills to help relieve the symptoms. This act, while confusing Meng Ying, slightly reduced her anger.
Ji Yang, who was watching from the side, also felt that although Nan Yan was usually noisy and behaved strangely, she did possess unique skills in healing and saving people. Nan Yan returned to her room and saw Ji Yang enjoying the medicinal meal. However, upon carefully examining his pulse, she found no improvement whatsoever, which was quite strange.
Nan Yan secretly suspected that Ji Yang might have been secretly faking it and hadn't truly taken the medicinal meal, but Ji Yang firmly denied it. Lacking conclusive evidence, Nan Yan had to let it go for now. Currently, Shao Cang was wanted by Daosheng Tian. Zhu Sui and others were tracking his whereabouts using the Celestial Candle Fireflies, following the trail all the way to the Lunar Sect.
At this moment, Ji Yang was helping Nan Yan light the fire to refine pills. Using a spell nearly exposed himself, and the reappearance of the Celestial Candle further confirmed to him that the people from Daosheng Tian were close by. Fu Lang gathered all the disciples of the sect in the square and publicly announced the news that Shao Cang had betrayed the Northern Territory and was hiding in Lunar Town.
Nan Yan, thinking of the mysterious Ji Yang, suspected that he was Shao Cang himself. In contrast, Mu Zhanting scoffed at the baseless accusations, unable to stand people condemning others without evidence. He even argued vigorously for his idol Shao Cang, to the point of revealing his identity as a young master.
In the current era, there were only five Nascent Soul stage cultivators: Xuan Zai Ying Zewei of Daosheng Tian, Overlord Mu Guanghan of Longdu, Sword God Meng Xiaolou of Tianshao Peak, Master Chiku within Choushan Fan Hai, and Nan Fangzhu of Yaogong, whose brewed Cicada Dew Sorrow was hailed as the supreme fine wine of the cultivation world. Mu Zhanting, as the only son of Mu Guanghan, held a respected status.
His sudden appearance here meant that even Fu Lang did not dare to easily offend him. In the eyes of others, Mu Zhanting seemed unapproachable, but in his interactions with Nan Yan, he displayed a completely different, amusing personality. Although Mu Zhanting had never met Shao Cang, he harbored many fantasies about him, vividly describing him as a person nine feet tall, strong as a yak, and god-like in existence, which gradually dispelled Nan Yan's suspicion towards Ji Yang.
After returning to her room, Nan Yan continued the medicinal steaming treatment for Ji Yang and used her persuasive skills to convince him to stay at the Lunar Sect with peace of mind. Mu Zhanting visited with a generous consultation fee to express his gratitude and revealed to Nan Yan that he had traveled thousands of miles looking for Shao Cang, firmly believing that Shao Cang had been falsely accused.
Speaking of Emperor Shao Cang, Mu Zhanting's admiration for him flowed like an endless river, immediately opening the floodgates of conversation. While he spoke with great enthusiasm outside, Ji Yang felt stifled and irritated inside the vat, surrounded by poison, nearly alarming Mu Zhanting. Fortunately, Nan Yan's clever cover-up managed to preserve the situation.
That night, Meng Zhiguang warmly hosted Mu Zhanting and subtly indicated that if he insisted on staying, he would need to sign a written agreement to avoid the wrath of the Master of Longdu implicating the entire sect. While comforting Ji Yang, Nan Yan gave him acupuncture. She occasionally noticed a strange bite mark on his arm and was startled.
After carefully checking ancient texts, she confirmed it was left by a Celestial Candle, thus concluding that Ji Yang was indeed Emperor Shao Cang. At the same time, Nan Rao summoned Ji Yang to meet her at the back mountain via a talisman message and used a pot of precious Chanlubēi as a token to reveal her identity.
Although Nan Rao had no good feelings towards people from Daosheng Tian, she noticed that her daughter Nan Yan paid special attention to Ji Yang and further discovered that the two shared a mysterious connection. She personally planted The Seal OF Romance on Ji Yang, intending to entrust Nan Yan to him.
Before leaving, Nan Rao repeatedly warned Ji Yang that The Seal OF Romance was a life-and-death contract and must not be violated lightly; if the two were separated by more than ten li, they would self-destruct and die. Ji Yang deeply understood Nan Rao's intentions and could also guess that her time was near.
Thus, he solemnly promised never to reveal her true identity to Nan Yan and secretly planned to bid farewell to Nan Yan once he found the Seven Sins Manual. However, Nan Yan suddenly changed her mind and tried every possible way to persuade Ji Yang to leave the Lunar Sect.
