Episode 31 recap: Wu Xie Continues to Delve into the Desert Sea Project
In Episode 31, that night, Wu Xie lay in bed, watching the videotape left by Zhang Qi Ling over and over again, feeling a mix of emotions. He wondered if he had misunderstood something significant. It turned out that the task of destroying the Zang Hai flower fields and dealing with the golden ball insect was never meant for him.
Zhang Qi Ling, after receiving his divine calling, had a memory like a fish—sometimes good, sometimes bad. The Zang Hai flower fields regenerated every eighty years, and fearing that he might forget, Zhang Qi Ling recorded this video as a reminder to himself to prevent the mission from falling through.
Realizing this, Wu Xie felt much lighter and decided to let go of his obsessions and restart his life. Before leaving, he made a special trip to the training ground, intending to say goodbye. To his surprise, he met the owner, Yu Hai, who was holding several newly discovered scrolls. This was exciting news! It turned out that years ago, Zhang Qi Ling had already confronted the Zang Hai flower fields but worried that he might forget and miss out on the once-in-eighty-years cleanup. He had meticulously recorded many details in the scrolls, including the origins of the Zhang family.
Interestingly, the Zhang family's extraordinary abilities relied on a magical piece of fallen copper. They possessed a blue power gene in their blood, granting them immense strength but also making them prone to recklessness. They also had a red rationality gene, which helped maintain their clarity. Curiously, the blue substance resembled certain components found in the golden ball insect, which is why the insect was somewhat lenient towards the Zhang family; the red gene helped them regain some rationality.
After reviewing the scrolls, Wu Xie and the胖子 bid farewell to Yu Hai. Yu Hai warmly invited Wu Xie to stay on as a "De Ren," offering a monthly salary of thirty thousand, which sounded appealing but required a lifetime commitment. The胖子, ever observant, noticed a travel brochure on Yu Hai's desk and realized that the old man was looking to retire in comfort. Although Yu Hai claimed he wanted to travel and cultivate, it was clear he was ready to retire.
Wu Xie politely declined, stating he had more important things to do, while the胖子 chimed in, saying it wasn’t worth trading a lifetime of freedom for that salary!
At this moment, Zhang Hai Ke arrived at the training ground, looking guilty. He confessed that he wanted to atone for his past misdeeds, admitting he had deceived many people due to his selfish desires and had dragged his sister, Zhang Hai Xing, into his troubles. Yu Hai reassured him, advising young people not to dwell on regrets but to learn to let go, and asked if he would consider staying as "De Ren." After some thought, Zhang Hai Ke nodded in agreement.
Zhang Hai Xing came to say goodbye to her brother and found him wearing the "De Ren" hat while sweeping the courtyard, leaving her with mixed feelings. She asked if he truly understood his decision. Zhang Hai Ke sincerely apologized, acknowledging that it was time to let go. Zhang Hai Xing realized her brother's choice was not forced but came from a genuine desire to move forward. Zhang Hai Ke expressed that staying at the training ground would bring him peace and clarity about the past and present.
Seeing this, Zhang Hai Xing felt reassured and bid farewell to her brother, setting off on her own journey to pursue her dreams.
