Sword and Fairy 1 Episode 38 Recap
> Sword and Fairy 1 Recap
Li Xiaoyao walked closer to his younger self and discovered that his childhood plaything was actually the Water Spirit Orb, so he requested it to be given to him. The younger Li Xiaoyao naturally disagreed, so Li Xiaoyao proposed exchanging it for other items. The younger boy specifically asked for the Seven Star Sword on Li Xiaoyao's back. Li Xiaoyao was reluctant. The younger boy then took a liking to Jiu Jian Xian's sword. Jiu Jian Xian disagreed even more.
So Li Xiaoyao suggested making a wooden sword that wouldn't harm people to exchange. The younger boy thought for a moment and finally decided to compete by playing marbles. If Li Xiaoyao won, he would agree. Li Xiaoyao first showed weakness, then easily won the match. The younger boy then agreed to exchange his Water Spirit Orb after Li Xiaoyao made the wooden sword.
Li Xiaoyao went to the woods to carve the sword and only then realized that his childhood toy was actually the Wu Chen Sword. Jiu Jian Xian saw that Li Xiaoyao was exceptionally intelligent and had many similarities with the younger boy, so he said that when the younger boy grew up, he might take him as a disciple. The two of them returned to the inn with the wooden sword.
His auntie (Li Daniang) said that her nephew had not returned since he went out. He had never returned so late before, worrying that something might happen, so she prepared to go out and look for him. Li Xiaoyao told his auntie (Li Daniang) to stay at the inn. He and Jiu Jian Xian would go look.
Jiu Jian Xian guessed that the younger boy must have gone out to play with his friends, but only Li Xiaoyao knew that he had no friends since he was a child. Li Xiaoyao suddenly remembered being kidnapped when he was little, so he went to the Mountain God Temple. Several Bai Yue Cult followers were forcing the younger boy to reveal the whereabouts of Li Sansi and his wife.
Li Xiaoyao decisively dealt with the Bai Yue Cult followers, only then understanding that the great hero he saw when he was little was actually himself. Returning to the inn, his auntie (Li Daniang) led Li Xiaoyao to Li Sansi's room. On the wall was a pattern of a family of three carved by Li Sansi.
Li Xiaoyao remembered that his father had said when he was little that he would go to Nanzhao once and would never leave after returning to Yuhang. The younger boy had said that his parents would return by the Mid-Autumn Festival, but his auntie (Li Daniang) said it was just to give the child something to look forward to. In fact, Li Sansi and his wife were already poisoned by Bai Yue on their way back.
Not long ago, Iron Arm Divine Eagle brought back Li Sansi's treasured sword. The couple had already died in a foreign land. The younger Li Xiaoyao waited at the pier every day, and his auntie (Li Daniang) was even more unable to speak. Li Xiaoyao was completely despairing. He had originally thought that by traveling ten years back, he could see his parents, but unexpectedly he only heard bad news.
The next day, the younger boy recounted his experience of being kidnapped and mistakenly took the adult Li Xiaoyao for his father. After receiving the wooden sword, he then took Li Xiaoyao to get the Water Spirit Orb and also took out a treasure chest for Li Xiaoyao to see. Inside were all relics of Li Sansi and his wife. Things were already set, and Li Xiaoyao decided to return to Shen Mu Lin.
Before leaving, he instructed his auntie (Li Daniang) not to overwork and to tell the younger boy to do any work. He also expressed his gratitude to his auntie (Li Daniang), stating that in his heart, his auntie (Li Daniang) was like his parents. After parting ways with Jiu Jian Xian, Li Xiaoyao passed through Suzhou and suddenly saw a little girl who nearly fell from the city wall. Li Xiaoyao hurried forward to rescue her.
The little girl was precisely Lin Yueru. Lin Yueru hoped to remember her benefactor's appearance, but Li Xiaoyao did not agree. Ten years later, Lin Yueru mentioned being rescued by a hero when she was little; that person was also himself. Continuing forward on the phoenix, Li Xiaoyao was suddenly struck by a sword and fell back to the Nuwa Temple ten years later. Chief Bai Yue was already waiting for him.
Li Xiaoyao questioned Chief Bai Yue why he killed his parents. Chief Bai Yue replied that it was Li Sansi and his wife who stole the Water Spirit Orb back then, delaying his plan to unify the world. All the conspiracies were clearly revealed. Li Xiaoyao fought Chief Bai Yue, but was no match for him at all. Jiu Jian Xian used the Wine God spell to rescue him in time.
