Beauty of Resilience Episode 5 Recap
> Beauty of Resilience Recap
Wei Zhi confessed to Jing Xiu that she had been different from others since she was young, often seeing demons and spirits that others couldn't see. She believed that Wei Lingyue's attack was also due to her own reasons and begged Jing Xiu to teach her immortal techniques to rid herself of these abnormalities. She would rather live a peaceful life as an ordinary person.
Jing Xiu expressed his inability to help and tried to enlighten Wei Zhi, suggesting that these abnormalities were not evil powers but rather a part of her destiny. Instead of seeing fate as a restriction, it could be understood as a responsibility. Unfortunately, Wei Zhi found it difficult to understand his words at the moment. Jing Xiu noticed the jade chain on Wei Zhi's hand and asked about her relationship with the former city lord, Gu Huai Xuan. Wei Zhi withheld some information about it.
Back in her room, Wei Zhi stared at the jade chain in a daze, recalling how she had always been misunderstood by her mother whenever she banished evil spirits since she was young. Every time she made a big mistake, her grandfather, Gu Huai Xuan, would step in to calm the situation. Gu Huai Xuan knew that his granddaughter had an extraordinary background, but he had never treated her differently. He even gave her the jade chain that belonged to the head of the family in each generation, instructing her to wear it at all times and control her temper to avoid trouble.
Yan Yue sought out Qing Huan and mentioned his old chest injury, noticing that it had been recurring frequently since he descended to the mortal realm. Qing Huan knew the truth but chose to be evasive, comforting Yan Yue and suggesting that he shouldn't think too much about it. The top priority was to focus on selecting the phoenix, and Wei Lingyue was currently the most likely candidate with phoenix bloodline.
Minister Wei voluntarily approached Wei Lingyue, briefly inquired about her injury, and then got straight to the point. He wanted to take her back and give up cultivation. Wei Lingyue firmly refused, well aware that her father had always favored her younger sister, Wei Jingyue. Only by becoming the phoenix and bringing honor to the Wei family could she prove her worth.
In the end, the father and daughter parted ways unhappily. Wei Jingyue rushed over upon hearing the commotion, believing that her third sister, Wei Lingyue, was the true phoenix. Although Wei Jingyue also had aspirations to become the phoenix, she cared more about Wei Lingyue in her heart. She boldly declared that anyone who dared to obstruct Wei Lingyue would be eliminated, as nothing was more important than her sister. Wei Lingyue felt deeply touched upon hearing this.
Within the academy, Wei Zhi encountered Ou Ya once again and urged him to leave quickly to avoid being caught by the dean. Inadvertently, Wei Zhi, who had taken off the jade chain, unknowingly captivated Ou Ya, reminding him of the clan leader's advice to hold on to a woman who moved his heart. After realizing the situation, Ou Ya was shocked and scared, quickly turning around and running away, leaving Wei Zhi confused and puzzled.
At this time, the Demon Lord infiltrated the academy in search of Wei Lingyue. Wei Zhi discovered his presence and was choked by the Demon Lord while trying to protect Wei Lingyue. Her life was hanging by a thread. However, Wei Lingyue refused to come out of her room, partly out of fear and Jing Xiu's advice, and partly to take this opportunity to eliminate Wei Zhi, her love rival.
Fortunately, Yan Yue appeared in time and saved Wei Zhi. He engaged in a battle with the Demon Lord, and the two were evenly matched. The disciples rushed over, but they couldn't intervene. Suddenly, the Demon Lord received news about Huo Rong's incident and immediately stopped the fight and left. Yan Yue, convinced that Wei Lingyue was the phoenix, arranged for Wei Zhi to stay in her room and scolded her for overestimating her abilities, punishing her by copying the immortal scriptures a hundred times.
The Demon Lord searched for Huo Rong's whereabouts and discovered that it was actually Yi Er who had mistakenly entered the Demon Realm and took Huo Rong as the fire seed. Since Huo Rong had been damaged, Yi Er quickly tried to appease the Demon Lord's anger by claiming that she could restore Huo Rong to its original state. Yi Er had the Demon Lord transform into an ordinary-looking immortal and took him to the Yan Zhou Mihun Grand Peach, obtaining some vital soil from it to restore Huo Rong.
Xiao Jin reported the situation to the Minister as usual. In order to prevent the academy from selecting the phoenix bloodline, the Minister decided to send a book named "Ming Cheng Wu" to the capital as soon as possible to achieve their goals through internal and external coordination. The academy held an assessment for outstanding disciples every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone was busy cultivating for it, including Wei Zhi. Ou Ya secretly visited her and couldn't understand why he felt sad and upset when she was injured, knowing that she wasn't the phoenix.
Yan Yue cared about Wei Zhi's injuries and brought her spiritual pills and miraculous medicine. On the other hand, Wei Zhi felt depressed despite everyone's encouragement. She went to the lakeside, drank wine, and danced gracefully, only to find herself in Yan Yue's embrace with a simple turn. Leaning against Yan Yue's shoulder, she looked at the night scenery and murmured to herself. Instead of pushing her away, Yan Yue smiled knowingly.
