Love in Pavilion Episode 4 Recap

Regarding the incident of sneaking into the Nangong family’s sword furnace late at night, Wangquan Hongye gave a flawless explanation, even dragging Dongfang Huaizhu into it by claiming that she rang the Soul-Calming Bone Bell to give a warning. Nangong Ye didn’t grow suspicious, but knowing Wangquan Hongye was a man of deep calculation, he didn’t let his guard down.
He ordered his son to lead men to guard the sword furnace, ensuring there would be no delays for the Sword Unveiling Ceremony the next day. Though Dongfang Huaizhu helped Wangquan Hongye cover up the truth, she remained angry about what happened to Ah Nan. She stepped more than five paces away from him, causing him to lose all five senses again. Yet in the end, she stopped because of Wangquan Hongye’s words. Dongfang Huaizhu had some knowledge of formations.
This Silk-Entwining Kasyapa Bell was originally an illusion-inducing bell used by spider demons of the Southern Realm. The Nangong family had incorporated it into a formation called the Mystic Sound Formation, which was similar to the one outside the sword furnace. Only during tomorrow’s Sword Unveiling Ceremony would it be possible to reverse the sound formation. At that time, Wangquan Hongye could stand at the center of the formation, where the sound waves naturally converged.
Dongfang Huaizhu could then reactivate the Bell Sound Formation to help him regain his five senses. Her condition for helping him was to rescue someone being held at the Inspection Division, and Wangquan Hongye readily agreed. Although they had reached a cooperation, Dongfang Huaizhu didn’t sleep a wink that night. She feared that once Wangquan Hongye’s injuries were healed, he would turn his back on her.
When Wangquan Hongye casually said he could take a poison pill as a guarantee, Dongfang Huaizhu immediately produced a Quedan Poison Pill. Wangquan Hongye swallowed it without hesitation. Compared to mutual suspicion, trust would take them further. Yang Yitan opened his Heavenly Eye and saw that there were only Nangong Chui and a few weak guards around the sword furnace. Wangquan Zui and Yang Yitan easily knocked them unconscious.
The Nangong family used the Li family’s Spirit-Purifying Mirror to cleanse the ferocious aura of the demons sinking within the sword furnace. However, Yang Yitan used the Eight Trigrams Mirror mentioned by his fourth brother to block the purification. As a result, the sword Nangong Ye would hold during the Sword Unveiling Ceremony would be a wicked blade filled with malice. Wangquan Zui altered the memories of Nangong Chui and the four guards, secretly rescuing Ah Nan.
The demon swords were forged on schedule and unveiled. They were distributed among three family heads, while Nangong Ye held a Heavenly Demon Sword. He raised a banner and challenged Wangquan Hongye, the acting leader of the Yiqi Alliance, in public. Following Dongfang Huaizhu’s instructions from the previous night, Wangquan Hongye walked to the spot where sound waves naturally gathered. Dongfang Huaizhu cast a spell with her bamboo flute, helping him restore his senses.
Wangquan Hongye’s Wangquan Sword clashed fiercely with Nangong Ye’s Heavenly Demon Sword. The momentum was overwhelming, and Nangong Ye’s blade could not withstand it. He vomited blood and was gravely injured. Realizing that it was Dongfang Huaizhu who helped Wangquan Hongye, he pointed his sword at her, only to be blocked by Wangquan Hongye. Ten years ago, Nangong Ye lost to Wangquan Shouzhuo; now he had lost to Wangquan Hongye.
Enraged, he suffered a backlash from the Heavenly Demon Sword, went on a bloodthirsty rampage, and killed many. Chaos erupted, and people fled in panic. Wangquan Hongye struck with one final blow, and Nangong Ye drew his last breath. Dongfang Huaizhu used Divine Fire on the Heavenly Demon Sword, setting countless demon spirits free. Wangquan Hongye took Dongfang Huaizhu to the Inspection Division to retrieve the person. The guard captain there didn’t recognize Wangquan Hongye and behaved arrogantly.
But when Dongfang Huaizhu presented the Wangquan Sword, the guard captain was immediately terrified, knelt in fear, and released the person. However, Dongfang Huaizhu was not yet ready to detoxify Wangquan Hongye. She hoped he would act as a matchmaker for Mu Xiaowu, arranging for him to marry Yang Yan within a month. Only then would the matter be settled. Wangquan Hongye did not refuse.
Meanwhile, the conflict between humans and demons within the circle grew more intense, just as the Black Fox Queen desired. She used hatred as soil and despair as fuel, growing stronger by the day. One day, she would return to the inner circle.
