Whispers of Fate Episode 3 Recap
> Whispers of Fate Recap
Late at night, Jiang Cheng's father was still immersed in the immense pain of losing his son. A Shui told him that Jiang Cheng, during his lifetime, would rather commit suicide to preserve the sect's reputation, fearing that his actions would disgrace the sect's rules, thus Jiang Cheng also deeply loved his father.
Then A Shui also recounted that when her own father was alive, his first concern was his daughter, but after her father passed away, she unhesitatingly sold herself to save her father, just to ensure he had a respectable burial. Jiang Cheng's father couldn't help but scold her for being foolish, and then he also understood his son's difficulties. Now, Feng Chuanxiang, his son's friend, specifically came to prove that there was another killer.
Before investigating the truth clearly, he didn't want to cause further complications. To let his son rest in peace, Jiang Cheng's father released Chi Yun and Tang Lici. Chi Yun truly lamented the rapid turn of fate; he had originally thought he was surely going to die, never expecting that there was truly such a thing as coming back from the brink of death.
Feng Chuanxiang thought that by saving Tang Lici and Chi Yun in time, they would surely be deeply grateful to him. Tang Lici still calmly replied that since he had personally admitted to killing Jiang Cheng, he had full confidence in his approach with Jiang Cheng's father. Feng Chuanxiang hinted to Tang Lici that the real killer was extremely powerful, and more people needed to join forces to have a better chance of winning.
Tang Lici merely found it amusing; Feng Chuanxiang was usually unremarkable in terms of martial arts and talent, and the two of them ordinarily had no dealings with each other. This timely rescue, coupled with such trust in him, felt a bit forced. Not knowing what Feng Chuanxiang was up to, before figuring it out, he decided to play along with the plan. Tang Lici was traveling by water this time.
Halfway through the journey, he felt Feng Chuanxiang was being insincere and utterly boring. He directly called him out onto the deck, and then kicked him into the river. Chi Yun had just seen Tang Lici and Feng Chuanxiang chatting cheerfully, drinking tea and discussing philosophy; now to turn him into a "drowning dog" was truly inexplicable. Tang Lici told Chi Yun that the first Sinister Ghost Nine-Star Pill Jiang Cheng took was given to him by Feng Chuanxiang.
Such friends exist in this world! Chi Yun was extremely indignant; he wanted to immediately add another kick and instantly go pursue Feng Chuanxiang's whereabouts. A Shui saw Chi Yun chase after him without hesitation, while Tang Lici continued drinking his leftover tea. She then understood that Tang Lici had deliberately provoked Chi Yun, making him go monitor Feng Chuanxiang's whereabouts.
After Tang Lici heard A Shui's analysis, he looked at this girl with new respect, and at the same time wondered how the Hao family could so easily acquire such a remarkably intelligent girl as a concubine. He immediately feigned rage, grabbed A Shui by the neck and pressed her against the wall, asking if she was sent by A Yan, and also what her purpose was in coming here.
A Shui's eyes reddened, and she gently defended that she knew nothing. Tang Lici looked at her expression and temporarily believed her. Chi Yun secretly followed Feng Chuanxiang and found that after he made a dishevelled landing, Jiang Qingyu was there to meet him. This Jiang Qingyu was Jiang Cheng's second uncle, who came to Feng Chuanxiang intending to monitor Tang Lici's every move, attempting to find Jiang Cheng's killer.
Hearing that Feng Chuanxiang had escaped, he decided to find Tang Lici again with Feng Chuanxiang. They arrived at the "Unchanging Floating and Sinking Tower," also known as the legendary Thirteenth Floor. Zhong Chunji quickly found Chi Yun and followed him to the Thirteenth Floor. Coming here for the first time, Zhong Chunji was very excited, having heard that this place gathered the most ruthless killers in the world.
Chi Yun saw her being sneaky and quickly reminded her about the origin of the name "Unchanging Floating and Sinking Tower." This tower originally did not exist; it would rise from the sea on a specific date. Zhong Chunji personally witnessed a large building suddenly rise from the sea, and her eyes were opened. She saw many people entering the Thirteenth Floor, each first lying inside a coffin and drifting away with the waves.
Chi Yun and Zhong Chunji followed suit. They entered the Thirteenth Floor, and during a short rest, Zhong Chunji asked Chi Yun how he knew about the Thirteenth Floor. Chi Yun then stated that he had a fiancée named Bai Suche. That year, the Bai family was massacred, but his fiancée's body could not be found. At his wit's end, Chi Yun went to the Thirteenth Floor. Chi Yun offered a very high price.
Before he could state his terms for exchange, he unexpectedly encountered Tang Lici. Tang Lici rescued him and promised to help him uncover the truth, which is why the two of them have maintained a master-servant relationship all these years.
