The Magic Pen Episode 21 Recap
> The Magic Pen Recap
To avoid exposing his marital relationship with Tong Zifu, Wen Jingzhan shared a bed with her, leading her to notice his unease. She asked him if he liked her, and he replied that he needed to become a certified artist before he could confess his feelings. Tong Zifu thought to herself that just because he might not pass the exam, does that mean he won't confess? She was not someone who would seek favor with others. The reason Wen Jingzhan wanted to join the military was that his mother, a renowned artist, was killed by bandits while they were stealing paintings. He couldn't forget the sight of his mother dying in front of him.
The conflict between Wen Jingzhan and his father began after his mother's death. He was determined to fight against evil, while his father wanted him to become an artist, as their family lineage was tied to art, and he couldn't let it end with him. Wen Jingzhan said that his father would agree to him joining the military if he passed the artist's exam. Mingyang looked at the jade pendant and decided to wait and see, as he had an agreement with Wen Jingzhan. If something happened, the jade pendant would be damaged. If it remained intact, it would mean everything was under control.
The next day, the gang leader came to find Tong Zifu, but Wen Jingzhan hid behind the door and held him hostage. The gang leader had no choice but to reveal that there was a higher authority involved, the head shopkeeper, and he ordered Tong Zifu to go alone. Otherwise, they would abandon the cooperation. Determined, Tong Zifu set out alone. With her artistic skills, she believed there would be no danger. Wen Jingzhan waited with the second-in-command at the gang leader's hideout for Tong Zifu. If something happened to her, he would kill the second-in-command on the spot. Tong Zifu arrived at a forest with the kidnappers, where she saw a woman's back that seemed familiar from a distance. When the woman turned around, Tong Zifu recognized her; she was Wen Jingzhan's aunt.
