A Moment But Forever Episode 2 Recap
> A Moment But Forever Recap
Chi Yi was possessed and attempted to assassinate Yuan Zhong but ultimately failed, choosing to end his own life. Ji Tan Yin took advantage of the night to find Yuan Zhong, who was weak and unconscious at the time. She intended to retrieve the Divine Hand, but doing so would mean Yuan Zhong’s death. Ji Tan Yin, believing Yuan Zhong to be guilty of numerous crimes, felt little remorse.
However, as she attempted to take the Divine Hand, she discovered a restrictive artifact on Yuan Zhong’s body. She refrained from taking the Divine Hand and instead used her spirit to leave her body and return to the divine realm, where she asked Han Nv about Yuan Zhong. She began to suspect that the rumors of Yuan Zhong’s cruelty were false—otherwise, he would not have been bound and controlled.
Han Nv, however, insisted on retrieving the Divine Hand regardless of morality, as Yuan Zhong’s theft of it was a crime in itself. Still, Ji Tan Yin believed she should investigate the matter thoroughly before making a decision. While Ji Tan Yin’s spirit was away, her physical body remained, and Yuan Zhong discovered it. At that moment, Ji Tan Yin’s spirit returned to her body, and she found Yuan Zhong in an extremely weakened state.
Due to the suspicious circumstances surrounding Chi Yi’s actions, the Grand Elder gathered everyone for a discussion. Tang Hua suspected that Chi Yi had used the Art of Descent, but many elders dismissed this possibility, believing it to be an evil technique belonging to the War Demons and impossible to reappear. Ji Tan Yin, seeing Yuan Zhong injured, attempted to help him change his bandages.
However, due to the overwhelming number of items in her Qiankun Pouch, she took out many objects before finally finding the medicine. Yuan Zhong was intrigued by Ji Tan Yin’s pouch, and upon learning that it was a Qiankun Pouch, he realized it belonged to Wu Shuang, the divine maiden. Ji Tan Yin, however, falsely claimed it was just an ordinary artifact.
Before the conversation could continue, Zi Fei arrived to take Yuan Zhong to see the Grand Elder, interrupting them. Yuan Zhong, using the excuse of unfinished studies, refused to go to the main hall, and instead, he asked Zi Fei to inform the elders that the War Demons had been completely annihilated in the Battle of Pinghu, making it impossible for them to be behind the recent incidents.
The next day marked the grand selection event, a decisive moment for everyone’s fate. Yuan Zhong unexpectedly appeared, causing a stir, as he had not chosen a handmaiden in a long time. During the competition, Ji Tan Yin displayed outstanding abilities through various means. Meanwhile, Zhi Dai attempted to sneak into the forbidden grounds but found it impossible due to the tight security. As the competition reached its final round, contestants were allowed to showcase their own talents.
Ji Tan Yin boldly removed the restrictive bracelet on her wrist, shocking Lord Wen Ying. She also attempted to remove the shackles on Yuan Zhong, but the crowd opposed it, believing the restraints were crafted by the entire Youhu Clan specifically for Yuan Zhong. However, Yuan Zhong had long wanted to remove his shackles and spoke in Ji Tan Yin’s defense. In the end, he chose Ji Tan Yin as his handmaiden, and she readily accepted.
At that moment, Xia Zhi, who had lost all reason due to external control, suddenly appeared and attempted to kill Yuan Zhong. However, Zi Fei, Yuan Zhong’s artifact spirit, struck Xia Zhi down. Before dying, Xia Zhi uttered a series of cryptic words. Ji Tan Yin officially became Yuan Zhong’s handmaiden and moved into his residence.
Meanwhile, Zhi Dai discovered that the rejuvenation method she had acquired was ineffective for her father, so she set her sights on the Youhu Clan’s elixir of immortality. The elders gathered to discuss the Art of Descent, with some believing it was indeed orchestrated by the War Demons, suspecting that not all of them had been eradicated back then. Panic began to spread.
To maintain order, the Grand Elder decided to start a thorough investigation within the War Division, as the two previous victims of the Art of Descent were both from that faction. The Grand Elder, worried that Yuan Zhong would lose control over the Divine Left Hand, suggested sealing it temporarily with a golden ring. Yuan Zhong, not wanting to cause concern, falsely claimed that he had already mastered it.
However, the Grand Elder remained uneasy, knowing that true mastery of the Divine Hand required one to become a true god. Beneath the surface, unseen turmoil was brewing. When Ji Tan Yin learned of these developments, she was both surprised and felt a growing sense of injustice for Yuan Zhong.
