Sword and Beloved Episode 21

Making one’s fate

RuMu makes his way to WeiYun’s house with his father. She is resentful he was brought there, but RuMu makes his plan clear. Do whatever you want to him. She does make a good strike, but she is not cruel by nature. Even if Quan JingTing is a repentant form of himself with the darkness removed, there is a point where even if you have made peace with your God, it does not remove the consequences for choices made. His heinous acts to that poor dragon alone made him fit for hell, but he compounded that with literally thousands of demons making a river of blood. He owes a blood debt to them. I see the wisdom of the blade choice for RuMu….his snow was beautiful. She has the relief that he is healed and needs no longer feel indebted. He claims he will become the soldier but not looking particularly enthused. That wave goodbye to WeiYun. He makes it look like he’s accepted them heading off on separate adventures. WeiYun still thinks they should part though she almost gave in with the hug. RuMu then takes his father to the clan prison and sees his father locked up. He makes no effort to say a word and simply walks away. We then see QingTong and brother at the market..coming ever so close to FuGui. He even senses her but sees the brother he never met. I was relieved that she saw through her brother’s plot. He paid the stall person to lie to her. He set everything up to weave the perfect setting for FuGui to be proved dead. But her stubbornness to see his body is his undoing and her hold on faith. The sword training with second prince shows a much lazier FuGui but one still wise to cheating. That thump with the stone was funny. RuMu has formed himself a disguise to persuade the foxes about water orb. His disguise as an astrologer and actions are very like Seo In Guk’s Nam HanJun character complete with dance and hocus pocus fortunes. 😂🤣I laughed out loud when he is introduced to YunFei’sRoyal master.🤣😂 He gets his celestial self added thanks to his cousin and they are comparing notes about the prince and water orb. The prince seems lacking in many respects, but FuGui thinks it is this very docile and simplistic view that allows the orb to reside in him. FuGui thinks he might have the potential to absorb it. RuMu is far from convinced. He saw first hand how WeiYun turned beserk and he also knows it is her clans treasure. It does say something that WeiYun was looking for a cure for him rather than her clan’s greatest treasure. She knows he is cured so will she now change her focus to the orb? 12581 has pulled off the gloves and told her she can’t leave the city. He showed her how to steal other’s powers and she flatly refused and forbid him from doing it—way too late sis. how do you think he has trapped you there? I like how Fu Gui senses she is ok but being detained for reasons unknown. He has faith she will handle it and they will meet. But he also gets RuMu interested in looking for her. Now that she knows where the spot of joy and sorrow is, she spikes some food in return to loving brother and makes her way there. She talks to the tree guardian and warned that she must be able to find true love to get the seed to sprout. If she fails the test with her hate, she will be stuck there forever. It is Deja vu going back to tree seed. This is a unique spot where all three parts mesh. Since she said yes, she is immediately hit with the seed and forced to face her dark side. Brother can’t get to her now.😝
