Sword and Fairy 1 Episode 13 Recap
> Sword and Fairy 1 Recap
After arriving in Yangzhou, Li Xiaoyao hurried to the site of the treasure appraisal and elegant gathering, but was stopped by the gatekeeper. To participate in the treasure appraisal and elegant gathering, one needed an invitation to enter. Only those who offered treasures could get an invitation for free. Besides this, non-treasure-offering participants could only obtain one by donating ten million taels of silver. Li Xiaoyao was shocked.
Although it was nothing to Lin Yueru and Liu Jinyuan, their travel expenses were running low at the moment. Liu Jinyuan suggested that they knock out the gatekeeper at night and sneak into the venue. However, Li Xiaoyao had an idea and thought of a brilliant plan to enter the venue without breaking the law.
The so-called brilliant plan was for Liu Jinyuan to impersonate a young master from the Ministry of Personnel, while Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru would be his page and maid, respectively. Lin Yueru was used to being arrogant and always wanted to boss around Liu Jinyuan. Fortunately, Li Xiaoyao constantly reminded her and smoothed things over, and the three finally successfully mingled into the venue.
When Zhao Ling'er, A Nu, and Tang Yu were preparing to enter, they were told by the gatekeeper that their invitation was fake. It turned out that Tang Yu's previous premonition was correct; the ticket vendor was purely a scammer. A Nu was full of regret. Tang Yu suddenly threw out a confusion worm, which landed on the gatekeeper's neck, and the three of them managed to barely sneak through.
The venue was packed with people, and many went to look at Master Shangshu's grand finale precious pearl. Zhao Ling'er and A Nu walked up to the precious pearl and found its shape was completely different from the Earth Spirit Bead.
They suddenly remembered that the Sacred Spirit Bead's previous sensing was weak, indicating that there was no Wind Spirit Bead here, but it should have been placed with the Wind Spirit Bead for a long time, thus being infected with the Wind Spirit Bead's aura. Tang Yu guessed that since the precious pearl was provided by the Inspector Of Yangzhou, the Wind Spirit Bead was likely stored in the Inspector's mansion. Li Xiaoyao, Lin Yueru, and Liu Jinyuan searched separately.
As he was preparing to go upstairs, Li Xiaoyao brushed past a woman and had his purse stolen. After realizing his belongings were missing, Li Xiaoyao immediately called out to the woman. This person was Ji Sanniang, known as the female bandit of Yangzhou, but no one knew her identity. With just a few words, Li Xiaoyao exposed the trick of the petty thief. Ji Sanniang exclaimed that Li Xiaoyao greatly resembled an old friend of hers.
Zhao Ling'er was just preparing to leave. She brushed past Ji Sanniang and had the hair tie given to her by Li Xiaoyao swiped. The treasure appraisal and elegant gathering was still ongoing. Li Xiaoyao met up with Lin Yueru, and neither had found Zhao Ling'er.
Hearing that the grand finale collection of this appraisal was the Inspector's precious pearl, Li Xiaoyao, who had heard A Nu mention the Five Spirit Beads, guessed that Zhao Ling'er's silent departure was likely related to the precious pearl. So he approached the precious pearl to search, but still didn't find any trace of Zhao Ling'er. The wealthy merchant surnamed Zhu suddenly shouted that his purple-gold gourd had been stolen.
The treasure building instantly became chaotic, and the Inspector quickly arrived to handle the situation. Everyone present was not allowed to leave. When the wealthy merchant Zhu saw Lin Yueru, who had previously argued with him, he immediately insisted that Lin Yueru had stolen his treasure. Ji Sanniang was watching the excitement from the side. Li Xiaoyao was standing not far from Ji Sanniang and noticed that Ji Sanniang had Zhao Ling'er's hair tie on her head.
He then concluded in his heart that Ji Sanniang was the female bandit, and perhaps she also knew Zhao Ling'er's whereabouts. After returning to the inn, Zhao Ling'er discovered that her hair tie was missing and couldn't help but secretly shed tears. She then thought that perhaps it was heaven's arrangement, telling her not to remember Li Xiaoyao anymore. The Inspector searched everyone one by one in the treasure building.
Finally, he found the purple-gold gourd by the window, indicating that the thief had failed to transfer the stolen goods. Returning to the inn at night, Li Xiaoyao secretly followed Ji Sanniang. He found that she had changed her clothes and quietly sneaked into the treasure pavilion. Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru also secretly infiltrated after her. A moment later, Ji Sanniang revealed her location. Li Xiaoyao prepared to capture her but triggered a mechanism set by the Inspector.
Officers immediately appeared and apprehended the two of them. Only then did Li Xiaoyao realize he had fallen into Ji Sanniang's trap.
