Parallel World Episode 21 Recap
> Parallel World Recap
The City Soul appeared on the stone platform, and Zhao Guanshou explained to Ye Liuxi the origin of the City Soul and the detailed process of the Long family controlling it. Due to the strong counterforce of forcibly moving the city gate, Ye Liuxi lost her memory. Fortunately, the Beast Head Yellow Sheep guided her back into the Guannei region, and as soon as she returned, Blackstone City would immediately receive the message.
Fei Tang wondered why Blackstone City had to summon Ye Liuxi back; they could let her live a good life outside the pass. Zhao Guanshou explained three reasons: first, to revive Ye Liuxi; second, as the prophecy indicated, "West of the Yumen Pass" was the key to resolving the calamity; third, Ye Liuxi had to return to the Guannei region to revive the Shadow Puppeteer and eliminate the threat of the Scorpion Eye organization.
Zhao Guanshou took everyone to a showroom built based on the internal structure of the Ancient Monster Frame. The stored items inside were harmless or had minimal harmful effects on exotic creatures. There were various portraits and detailed descriptions of different exotic creatures along the way. When they reached the portrait of Yan Zhong, Zhao Guanshou provided more detailed explanations. Chang Dong raised the buried questions in his heart: who took a photo of Kong Yang, and who drove the car with the Camellia logo away.
Originally, Zhao Guanshou didn't want to answer these two questions, but at Ye Liuxi's request, he reluctantly revealed that two years ago, Scorpion Eye went to the Flowing Sands of Yardan, forcibly opened the Ancient Monster Frame, and released exotic creatures to attack Blackstone City. Although they failed in this battle, a small piece of the Ancient Monster Frame collapsed. This meant that the sandstorms were caused by exotic creatures, and the members with the Camellia logo were innocent, wrongly implicated and had their bodies fed to the sand mounds by Scorpion Eye, who took their cars.
Chang Dong did not doubt Zhao Guanshou's answer; after all, everything he said made sense. Cars were scarce resources inside the pass, and it was convenient to seize the opportunity. Chang Dong thought he was unlucky, believing he encountered a naturally occurring sandstorm, but ended up carrying the blame for two years, losing his loved one. Sensing Chang Dong's low spirits, Ye Liuxi, feeling his emotions, took the initiative to hold his hand and offer silent comfort.
After everyone finished visiting the museum, Zhao Guanshou had someone escort them to rest and arranged for the Yulin Guard to protect them throughout. Fei Tang found the newcomer somewhat familiar, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be A He. It was only later that Fei Tang realized A He was from Blackstone City, feeling both shocked and indignant. He used to have some compassion for A He, but now, remembering being manipulated by her, he felt a bellyful of anger with nowhere to vent.
The accommodation for Chang Dong and the others was a detached courtyard, fully equipped with a main hall and a side hall. Ye Liuxi and the others didn't have much emotional fluctuation, but Li Jin'ao was like an old lady entering a grand view garden, excitedly unable to sleep. He never thought that one day he would be treated as an honored guest by the leader of Blackstone City.
Li Jin'ao gossiped about Zhao Guanshou having a golden toilet in his study, representing supreme authority. Ding Liu found it disgusting, Fei Tang was still upset, and Gao Shen, standing silently on the side, remained expressionless until Ye Liuxi entered from outside. Ding Liu took Ye Liuxi to the terrace, pointing to Chang Dong not far away, expressing her thoughts that he now seemed like a lone wolf, licking his wounds alone, which was heartbreaking.
Subsequently, Ding Liu tactfully stepped back, leaving space for Ye Liuxi and Chang Dong to be alone. Ye Liuxi knew that whenever Chang Dong was in a bad mood, he would stay alone, looking into the distance with vacant eyes. So, she chose to sit beside him, embracing and comforting him, and the two looked at the same sky, as if there was no longer a distinction between Guannei and Guanwai.
After careful consideration, Ye Liuxi decided to give up the vast lands for Chang Dong and accompany him to leave the Yumen Pass. However, Chang Dong still found some things suspicious. Regarding Zhao Guanshou's words, he was half-believing, half-doubting. Right now, he just wanted to know why he was the only one left alive in Camellia, and Ye Liuxi, understanding that this was a knot in Chang Dong's heart, promised to help him uncover the truth.
Meanwhile, Zhao Guanshou immersed himself in deep memories. In the past, they exerted all their efforts to find the person with the Liuxi Bones. Long Zhi, the Miss of the Long family, suggested allowing Yan Zhong to massacre villages to find the true Liuxi Bones. Zhao Guanshou hesitated, considering the lives of hundreds of people, but Long Shen, the head of the Long family, strongly supported the plan, ordering the cruel scheme to be implemented.
Since then, every time Yansheng visited a village, a bloody massacre unfolded, leaving no local residents alive. The Feather Guards and the Qian family members followed closely behind, ultimately ignoring the presence of Ye Liuxi. They could only confirm that Nanmuo Xing was still in the mid-heavens, indicating that there were still remnants of Liuxi's bones nearby.
