Love and Sword Episode 6 Recap
> Love and Sword Recap
Rong Shukuang smelled the smoke and suddenly felt a rush of heat throughout her body. Despite drinking several cups of water, the discomfort didn’t go away. She had no choice but to seek out Yan Shao. Without saying a word, she leaned into him, making an intimate gesture. Yan Shao pushed her away, and upon checking her pulse, he discovered that Rong Shukuang had been poisoned again. Rong Shukuang regretted it and blamed Yan Shao for saving her.
She wondered if she had died, perhaps she would return to her previous world. She didn’t even know what this world was, whether it was her own world or from another time and space. Yan Shao couldn’t understand her words, but Rong Shukuang kept asking if she was his trouble. Yan Shao firmly responded that she was not, as he was willing to help her. Rong Shukuang remembered her earlier worries about losing her memories forever and becoming useless.
Back then, Yan Shao had promised that if she couldn’t remember, he would take her away from Yuchi Manor. With a dazed look in her eyes, Rong Shukuang kissed Yan Shao suddenly. Yan Shao struggled to control his emotions as he stared at her. But when he saw her growing more and more dazed, Yan Shao picked her up and threw her into a water tank. This brought Rong Shukuang back to her senses.
She begged Yan Shao to pull her out, holding his hand tightly. She called his name, feeling inexplicably safe whenever she said it. Perhaps this name was her amulet. Yan Shao comforted her, assuring her that he would always be there. The next day, while everyone was sitting together for tea, it was obvious that neither Yan Shao nor Rong Shukuang had rested well. They both lied, claiming they couldn’t sleep because of two wild cats fighting.
Rong Shukuang felt embarrassed thinking about how she had kissed Yan Shao the night before, so she hurriedly left. Yan Shao followed her to comfort her, telling her that nothing had happened, but this only made Rong Shukuang more upset and disappointed. She had kissed him, yet he didn’t respond. She didn’t know who was sabotaging her. Yan Shao presented evidence showing that it was Tang Yingluo’s doing. Furious, Rong Shukuang immediately wanted to confront Tang Yingluo and demand answers.
She couldn’t understand if Tang Yingluo was trying to help or harm her. She decided to sever their sisterly bond and never speak to Tang Yingluo again. Tang Yingluo, on the other hand, was happy. The old Rong Shukuang had always been cold and never referred to her as a sister, but now she was determined to call Rong Shukuang her sister. Although Tang Yingluo had used a charm to influence her, she only wanted to help Rong Shukuang.
But since Rong Shukuang was in good health, the charm didn’t affect her much. Yan Shao, however, felt dissatisfied because all of Rong Shukuang’s toxins would end up affecting him, which meant she would be fine. That day, martial artists from various sects arrived in the city. Lin Wanci and Lin Shaoci went out on business, and Rong Shukuang wanted to follow them.
Lin Shaoci was initially worried about Rong Shukuang’s safety but agreed when he saw that Yan Shao was going along. The martial arts competition would take place the following evening, and the winner would get to drink Hundred Flower Brew. Lin Wanci hoped that Yan Shao would come out on top, and he seemed confident about it. Lin Wanci noticed that the area between the East and West markets, usually unobstructed, had set up official checkpoints today.
Lin Shaoci thought it might be his father’s arrangement, worried that too many people might come and accidentally enter the Xuanhonghua Society. The Xuanhonghua Society held an annual event where martial artists from various sects gathered. Rong Shukuang enjoyed the bustling atmosphere and even noticed someone selling meat-filled buns. Lin Wanci, feeling unwell, almost fainted, and Yan Shao caught her. Rong Shukuang sarcastically teased Yan Shao about his wandering affections. The group arrived at a tavern to drink.
After Rong Shukuang took a sip of wine, she made everyone guess the ages of the tavern owner and his wife based on the scent of the wine. They guessed that the wife was older, but it turned out to be the opposite—an older wife with a younger husband. The wife was called Lihua Bai, and the husband was called Qiankin Xiao. Upon seeing Yan Shao, they exchanged a knowing glance.
When they saw a blind man doing fortune-telling, Rong Shukuang, curious, thought the blind man’s predictions were accurate. However, Yan Shao disagreed. Rong Shukuang approached him to test it and found that he wasn’t actually blind, but she still decided to have her fortune told. The fortune teller revealed that Rong Shukuang’s family business had never been prosperous, and she had neither land nor a noble family. She was destined to marry far away.
But as with all fate, both good and bad were intertwined. Lin Wanci, intrigued, also joined in. The fortune teller had Tang Yingluo draw a fortune, which revealed that her obsessive attachment to love would hurt both herself and others, but Tang Yingluo was still willing to accept it. Lin Wanci’s fortune was favorable, indicating that although he had shortcomings, he would live a life free from worry.
However, it also suggested that Lin Wanci’s current desires were unattainable illusions, and he should be cautioned not to dwell too deeply on them. Yan Shao intervened, advising everyone not to take these fortune-telling jokes too seriously. Meanwhile, the fortune teller discreetly swapped something with Yan Shao when no one was looking. The Tian Gang people had arrived, and Yan Shao had arranged to meet them at a specific time and place.
While others were distracted, Lin Wanci slipped into another room and met with Shen Zuitian. She informed him that official checkpoints had been added outside, and the leaders of the Feng and Lu halls were responsible for it.
