Episode 21 recap: Gu Qingqiao recalled her past with Lu Zizheng, feeling particularly guilty in her heart
She stood at the entrance of the West Hill Sect and shouted Lu Zizheng's name loudly, worried that he had gone somewhere Hearing movement behind her, she thought it was Lu Zizheng returning, but it turned out to be Duan Yu
Duan Yu wanted to explain the previous incident, saying he never meant to harm her, but Gu Qingqiao didn't want to hear it.
Duan Yu realized Gu Qingqiao's hatred for him was much deeper than he had imagined. He saw Gu Qingqiao releasing sky lanterns and wanted to go help, and Ruan Shiqiong also came over. Duan Yu felt jealous and said he still had things to discuss with Gu Qingqiao, but Gu Qingqiao directly pulled him aside and told him she knew he didn't come to kill her, so there was nothing to say.
She explicitly stated that she didn't know the Holy Blood Gate and didn't want to get involved in the affairs between the Duan family and the Holy Blood Gate, as they were destined to be enemies in this lifetime. She hoped Duan Yu could leave soon, so they could at least keep some good memories.
Gu Qingqiao told her senior sister and Lu Huahua about the situation with Duan Yu. Her senior sister said she would treat Duan Yu's injuries properly and get him to leave the mountain soon.
Wang Tianshan also said Duan Yu's injuries were healing well, and Duan Yu took the opportunity to propose staying at West Hill to recuperate and even requested a medicinal bath, which Wang Tianshi agreed to.
Gu Qingqiao told Ruan Shiqiong that she was the Inverse Star, and the five-petal flower on her ankle was the proof. Now three of the petals had turned black, and her strength was diminishing. She had to pull the sword and find the Four Spirits as soon as possible to save her life.
Ruan Shiqiong told her that the sect leader was about to return.
When Sect Leader Zhang Sanfeng returned, he was furious to see the changes at West Hill, including the opening of a bathhouse. Gu Qingqiao only then realized this crazy old man was her own master. To make amends, she made him braised pork and barbecue. Although Zhang Sanfeng initially refused, when no one was around, he ate them with great relish and even asked Gu Qingqiao to pour him water.
Ruan Shiqiong told Gu Qingqiao that Zhang Sanfeng didn't eat meat and only ate vegetarian, but he had finished the entire plate of braised pork.
Ruan Shi Qiong told Zhang Sifeng that the sword-drawing person had appeared, and every time he interacted with Gu Qingqiao, he could feel his inner spiritual power responding, and the lost feeling was gradually recovering.
He was certain that Gu Qingqiao was the sword-drawing person, and he had already decided to draw the sword. But Zhang Sifeng pretended to have a headache and asked him to leave.
Duan Yu found Zhang Sifeng and gave him many gifts, saying it was to thank him for helping treat his arm. Zhang Sifeng asked if he had known Gu Qingqiao before, and Duan Yu admitted it. After Duan Yu left, Zhang Sifeng opened the gifts and saw they were just gold, silver, and jewelry, nothing special, feeling a bit disappointed.
Zhang Sifeng asked Gu Qingqiao why she came to the West Tomb. Gu Qingqiao said it was to study under a master. But Zhang Sifeng knocked her to the ground and told her to tell the truth. Gu Qingqiao said it was to find the Qingmu Humanoid Sword, and revealed that she was the Inverse Heavenly Star. She emphasized that she did not plan it with Duan Yu, it was just a coincidence. Zhang Sifeng asked if she had told anyone else, and Gu Qingqiao said she only told Ruan Shi Qiong, and showed him Ruan Shi Qiong's guarantee letter.
Zhang Sifeng took the opportunity to eat the guarantee letter, and Gu Qingqiao said he was not a man of his word. Zhang Sifeng made excuses, saying the Qingmu Humanoid Sword would not be given to her, and if she wanted to live, she had to cook braised pork for him every day.
Ruan Shi Qiong told Zhang Sifeng that Gu Qingqiao was very similar to Senior Sister Shanyao, but Zhang Sifeng said he would not sacrifice Ruan Shi Qiong for an unknown future like Gu Qingqiao's.
Ruan Shi Qiong decided to sacrifice himself to let Gu Qingqiao draw the sword, and told Wang Tianshi that if he was gone, he should take good care of Zhang Sifeng. Ruan Shi Qiong also said he was preparing to go on a long journey. Gu Qingqiao told Duan Yu that she no longer hated him, but they could never be together again.
