> Word of Honor Recap
Zhou Zishu brought Wen Kexing and Zhang Chengling back to Four Seasons Manor. The place was surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, blooming with exotic flowers and herbs, and filled with birdsong and floral fragrance. Wen Kexing was completely enchanted. Zhou Zishu opened the main gate of Four Seasons Manor. The courtyard was overgrown with weeds and desolate. Zhou Zishu felt heavy-hearted.
Wen Kexing and Zhang Chengling promised to tidy it up soon and restore it to its former state. Zhou Zishu gave them a detailed explanation of the significance of every stone and tree in the courtyard, as well as the mechanisms in various places. He then led them to the meeting hall. The furnishings inside remained unchanged, but spider webs filled the corners.
Zhou Zishu seemed to see Qin Huaizhang chatting with everyone around the fire, but now everything had changed. He was overwhelmed with emotions and regretted leading all 81 disciples of Four Seasons Manor to their deaths. Wen Kexing and Zhang Chengling didn’t dare ask more questions. Cao Weining was taking Gu Xiang back to the Qingfeng Sword Sect. Along the way, Gu Xiang got upset and ran ahead, only to see Zhu Yaozhi being driven out by Mu Siyuan.
Mu Siyuan angrily accused Gao Chong of colluding with Ghost Valley to endanger the martial world. Zhu Yaozhi tried hard to defend Gao Chong, but Mu Siyuan refused to listen and publicly revealed that Wen Kexing was the Chief of Ghost Valley. Zhao Jing had already distributed the portraits of the Ten Devils to martial sects across the land, calling for their execution. Zhu Yaozhi didn’t believe that Wen Kexing was the Chief of Ghost Valley.
Gu Xiang was worried that Wen Kexing’s identity had been exposed and couldn’t help but feel nervous for him. Mu Siyuan forced Zhu Yaozhi to curse Gao Chong in exchange for pardon, but Zhu Yaozhi firmly refused. Mu Siyuan began to beat him. Luckily, Shen Shen arrived in time to stop him. Seeing this, Gu Xiang quickly slipped back to reunite with Cao Weining. She began to worry that Cao Weining’s martial uncle wouldn’t accept her.
Cao Weining swore he would elope with her and promised to stay with her for life. Though Gu Xiang knew the truth couldn’t stay hidden forever, she was moved by Cao Weining’s sincerity. At night, Wen Kexing dreamed of witnessing his parents being killed by the Chief of Ghost Valley when he was a child. He tried to fight to the death.
Luo Fumeng pulled him aside, regretting that she couldn’t save his parents, and promised to do everything to protect him. Luo Fumeng gave him Meng Po Soup to forget all his pain. Wen Kexing awoke from the nightmare and saw Zhou Zishu trembling all over, calling out “Shidi” in his sleep. Wen Kexing realized his internal injuries were flaring up and quickly used his internal energy to heal him.
Zhou Zishu finally came to and told him what happened in the past. Back then, Zhou Zishu was ordered by Prince Jin to kill Governor Jiang. Jiang had once helped them, and his daughter was Qin Jiuxiao’s fiancée. Luo Haoning and Qin Jiuxiao pleaded with Zhou Zishu to let Jiang go and secretly send him back to the Northwest. Zhou Zishu pretended to agree and gave them farewell wine, but it was actually Drunken Oblivion Wine.
Qin Jiuxiao slept for five days and nights. When he woke up and didn’t see Zhou Zishu, he mistakenly thought he was trapped and went to rescue him, only to lose his life. Zhou Zishu personally poisoned Miss Jiang. To this day, he deeply regrets it. Wen Kexing tried to comfort him with kind words. Prince Jin was Zhou Zishu’s cousin.
Because of one word from him, Zhou Zishu resolutely led 81 brothers down the mountain to form Window of Heaven, but in the end, they all died. Wen Kexing was also filled with emotion, but he still hoped Ye Baiyi would return soon with a cure for Zhou Zishu. Ye Baiyi overheard commoners talking about how Wen Kexing was the ruthless Chief of Ghost Valley and that Zhao Jing had ordered martial sects to hunt him down. Ye Baiyi didn’t believe it and asked the commoners to confirm if the news was true.
