> Sword and Fairy 1 Recap
Zhao Ling'er used the Soul Revival Spell to heal Li Xiaoyao. Due to excessive energy depletion, Zhao Ling'er fainted from exhaustion. Some villagers passed by the shore. Zhao Ling'er revealed her snake tail and was mistaken for a demon. The villagers quickly left. After Li Xiaoyao woke up, he was surprised to find himself already recovered. He couldn't help but question whether Zhao Ling'er had used magic to heal him.
Zhao Ling'er said that she had used the Soul Revival Spell taught by Lao Lao. She couldn't grasp the essence of the spell before, but now she finally knew that the target must be one's true love in this life. After the two left, the woman who had stabbed Li Xiaoyao returned to the shore with a doctor. Seeing no trace of them, she concluded that they must be fine and left relieved.
Inside Suzhou city, the Lin family was preparing for a martial arts tournament to choose a groom. Lin Tiannan was from the largest sect in the Central Plains, and his daughter had practiced martial arts since childhood, thus possessing extraordinary skills. For several years in a row, no one had managed to win in the tournament. Lin Tiannan's daughter was precisely the woman who had stabbed Li Xiaoyao, Lin Yueru.
Lin Yueru did not like the ring set up by her father. She proposed that if no one won this time, they should not hold the tournament again in the future. Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er went to the inn to complain, only to be told that the inn had been booked by Lin Tiannan to host guests participating in the martial arts tournament for choosing a groom. The two left dejectedly.
Walking out of the inn, they saw a child being chased and asked for meal money. It turned out the child, named Xiaodouzi, had secretly gone into the restaurant kitchen and eaten a lot of ingredients. Seeing how pitiful Xiaodouzi was, Zhao Ling'er suggested they pay out of their own pockets to give Xiaodouzi a full meal. Unexpectedly, Xiaodouzi's stomach was like a bottomless pit; he ate a lot but was still not full.
Zhao Ling'er suspected there was a demonic parasite in Xiaodouzi's stomach. Suddenly, a man walked into the restaurant and confirmed Zhao Ling'er's suspicion. Then, Zhao Ling'er used her magic to expel the demonic parasite from Xiaodouzi's abdomen. The man was greatly impressed by the two. After Xiaodouzi left, the man introduced himself as Liu Jinyuan, Lin Tiannan's nephew from the area.
The martial arts tournament for choosing a groom, held the next day, was specifically organized for his cousin, Lin Yueru. When Lin Yueru was mentioned, Liu Jinyuan became more talkative. Li Xiaoyao saw that Liu Jinyuan liked Lin Yueru, but Liu Jinyuan did not know martial arts, so even with the status of the current top scholar, he couldn't meet the requirement.
Li Xiaoyao and Liu Jinyuan had a congenial chat, so Li Xiaoyao taught him a few moves that could challenge the ring. The next day, the martial arts tournament for choosing a groom began. Many contestants were defeated by Lin Yueru. Liu Jinyuan was the last to appear. He could initially defend against a few moves, but was eventually tricked by Lin Yueru and knocked off the ring.
Li Xiaoyao stepped forward to help him up and was discovered by Lin Yueru. Lin Yueru proposed that Li Xiaoyao have a proper match with her, regardless of winning or losing, just to discuss martial arts and not mention matchmaking. Li Xiaoyao originally did not want to get involved, but people below the stage kept jeering, and Liu Jinyuan also strongly persuaded him, so Li Xiaoyao had no choice but to accept the challenge.
In just a moment, Lin Yueru was already defeated. Lin Tiannan directly walked down the stage and announced that Li Xiaoyao was chosen as the Lin family's ideal son-in-law. Although both Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru disagreed, Lin Tiannan remained stubborn, believing that the words of the martial arts alliance leader could not be easily retracted. A Nu and Tang Yu also arrived in Suzhou.
For A Nu, the customs and scenery of the Central Plains were most attractive, so she ignored Tang Yu's obstruction and went to a jewelry store to buy accessories. Tang Yu managed their travel expenses and did not agree to A Nu spending money on accessories.
