Sword and Beloved Episode 8

Loyalty

Disciple Feng again thinks she is helping with Qingtong. She can’t trust her because she is a demon. Qingtong doesn’t realize she is healed and is told she has three days. She wants to make him the picture of the pavilion on Huai river. She warns Qingtong that she will only cause trouble for FuGui and she will report the demon to the master. A candid conversation between the cousins confirms that she and FenGui should part ways. HongYe has FuGui report in so he can be scolded strongly for not killing the spider demons and for going there without permission. RuMu tries to lighten things up by reminding him that FuGui dealt with the master without killing innocents. HongYe was far from happy with this report and told RuMu to shut up and stay out of the conversation. Jingting wants the sword and will sell his soul to get it. He wants to lead the alliance and feed the sword WangQuan blood. His loyal disciple who promised to stay with him and see he got out safely was sacrificed so the sword would appear. The black fox messenger warned him the cost to his person for accepting it into his body and Qingtong basically said bring it on. HongYe’s spies have found out where the medicine was made — a rare city where humans and demons reside. He is known as the black sword in the alliance. He is planning on relinquishing his sword the next day and live peacefully. Fu Gui has been given the job of escorting him. I like the butler, but sometimes it is tiresome for him to give those fatherly speeches excusing HongYe of his choices with his son. For all the times HongYe has been a disappointment, I kinda grit my teeth when he tells FuGui to fulfill his task and not disappoint his father again. This alliance is more evil than the demons they want killed. They remove humanity from themselves and pat themselves on the back at how the world is a better place because they control it.😝The black sword takes after his father and is a decent person. This is who Hongye should be like. Instead they are going to find a way to blame him for the medicine even tho Hongye says he is not. But this is also why he wants Fu Gui to guard him. Fu Gui has asked Qingtong to accompany him and Qingtong has made sure Disciple Feng knows she is leaving with no plans to return.
