Episode 13 recap: Gu Qingqiao was injured and entered the Xiling Sect.
Duan Yu was preparing to go search for Gu Qingqiao. Ruo Yun had made three protective talismans for them to take along. If they found Gu Qingqiao, they were to give her one of the talismans, as it was her due. Ruo Yun went to look for Shao Yi but found he had already left the manor. Apparently, he had been hiding on Duan Yu's carriage for three days and nights just so he could go with Duan Yu to search for Gu Qingqiao.
Gu Qingqiao and Lu Zizheng were preparing to go to Xiling to find the Qingmu Humanoid Sword. Gu Qingqiao told Lu Zizheng that if they couldn't find the Four Spirits, she would be doomed. Lu Zizheng said he would definitely help her find the Four Spirits, because Gu Qingqiao had saved his life, so she was very important to him.
It is said that the Qingmu Humanoid Sword is the most mysterious treasure of the Xiling Sect, and no one has ever seen its true form. The Shengxue Sect had once massacred the Xiling Sect because of this sword, but now its whereabouts are unknown.
Duan Yu arrived at the slave trading place of the Yuanlang Tribe and saw a slave who resembled Gu Qingqiao. Duan Yu and his companions took the opportunity to help the captured people escape. Duan Yu went after the "Gu Qingqiao", but they accidentally fell off a cliff. Duan Yu discovered this person was not Gu Qingqiao, but he still managed to get her back up the cliff, while he himself fell down.
Gu Qingqiao disguised herself as a pregnant woman, and Lu Zizheng disguised himself as a fortune teller. They went to Qingshui Town and found many people wearing white clothes, and many shops were promoting Ruan Shiqiong's merchandise. Many people had come to see the legendary Ruan Daxia. Gu Qingqiao wanted to see if Ruan Shiqiong was the modern-day Dr. Ruan, so she and the two Xiling disciples climbed onto the roof to spy. But they saw someone impersonating Ruan Shiqiong and trying to kill someone, which startled them and caused them all to fall down. The two Xiling disciples got into a fight with Nanggong Wuren, and Gu Qingqiao used her "pregnant belly" to hit Nanggong Wuren. Just as Nanggong Wuren was about to attack Gu Qingqiao, Ruan Shiqiong appeared and blocked his sneak attack, but Gu Qingqiao then fainted because she had been struck by the Shenlong Pavilion's Flame Palm. She was then taken back to the Xiling Sect to recover.
When Gu Qingqiao woke up, she thought she was going to die, but Fu Rong told her that Elder Ruan had already treated her injuries, and she just needed three days to fully recover before she could leave.
Gu Qingqiao was preparing to search for the Bluewood Humanoid Sword in the Western Hill Sect, and Lu Zizheng said she was quite impressive. After receiving a palm strike from Nangong Wuren, they were able to enter the Western Hill Sect legitimately. Gu Qingqiao told Lu Zizheng that the two of them could split up to search for the Bluewood Humanoid Sword.
Gu Qingqiao went to ask Ruan Shiqiong if he had seen her before, and whether he would like to see her throw an iron discus. Gu Qingqiao demonstrated throwing the iron discus and told Ruan Shiqiong that a doctor had previously told her that life is not just about achievements or iron discus throwing. Ruan Shiqiong asked where that doctor was now, and Gu Qingqiao said they had gone their separate ways. Ruan Shiqiong said he would come visit her at noon to treat her injuries, and when he left, he suspected that Gu Qingqiao might not actually be able to pull out the Bluewood Humanoid Sword.
Gu Qingqiao asked Fu Rong and the others about the Bluewood Humanoid Sword, but they all remained silent, saying not to ask about that sword as it had brought great disaster to the Western Hill Sect, and that she should not mention it in the future. When they were all asleep, Gu Qingqiao secretly snuck out to search for the Bluewood Humanoid Sword. Lu Zizheng had brought many swords for her to try, but she found they were all just junk, not the Bluewood Humanoid Sword. Now, the only places left to search were Ruan Shiqiong's residence and Wang Tianshan's Heavenly Mountain Abode. Lu Zizheng told Gu Qingqiao to look for it while she went to treat her injuries with Ruan Shiqiong, and he would go to the Heavenly Mountain Abode.
Ruan Shiqiong discovered that Gu Qingqiao could absorb his inner force while treating her, confirming that she was the one who could pull out the sword. When Lu Zizheng went to the Heavenly Mountain Abode to search for the sword, he was discovered. In the ensuing conflict, Gu Qingqiao said Lu Zizheng had come because he missed his sister, but the elder brother said he was a thief who had stolen many weapons from the armory. Lu Zizheng said he had never stolen anything, and if he wanted to steal, he would have taken more valuable items.
