Episode 14 recap: Huo Xing Chen and Jiang Bu Ting were searching for Xuanbing Grass.
After Mu Binghe entrusted Huo Xing Chen with taking care of Yao Guang, she returned to the Wuyue Sect with Huo Qing Liu and the others. Once she bid farewell to Huo Qing Liu and the rest, Huo Xing Chen asked Jiang Bu Ting to fulfill his promise. However, Jiang Bu Ting tried to back out of it. In a moment of excitement, Huo Xing Chen pulled Jiang Bu Ting, but unexpectedly, Jiang Bu Ting fell to the ground unconscious. Huo Xing Chen quickly sought out Doctor Song and asked about Jiang Bu Ting's condition.
Doctor Song informed her that Jiang Bu Ting had been weak and sickly since childhood, relying on life-saving pills to sustain his life. The last pill was accidentally consumed by Huo Xing Chen. Currently, Jiang Bu Ting's pulse was extremely weak, and Doctor Song needed to develop a new medicine to save him. Huo Xing Chen was urged to take good care of Jiang Bu Ting.
Upon hearing Doctor Song's words, Huo Xing Chen deeply regretted her negligence in caring for Jiang Bu Ting's health. She prayed for his swift recovery. When Jiang Bu Ting finally regained consciousness, Huo Xing Chen questioned him, asking if he rejected her because of his own poor health and the fear of burdening her. She explicitly told Jiang Bu Ting that regardless of his health, she was willing to be with him. Touched by Huo Xing Chen's confession, Jiang Bu Ting kissed her cheek and agreed to stay with her unconditionally.
Doctor Song provided pills that could alleviate Jiang Bu Ting's condition temporarily, but they couldn't cure him completely. To cure Jiang Bu Ting's illness, they needed to find Xuanbing Grass within three months as a medicinal catalyst. However, Xuanbing Grass grew on Mount Kunlun of the Tianjue Sect, which was currently secluded. Huo Xing Chen's grandmother happened to be an elder of the Tianjue Sect, and she decided to go to Tianjue Mountain to find Xuanbing Grass. Before their departure, Doctor Song prepared a lot of medicinal pills. Jiang Bu Ting tried giving one to Huo Xing Chen and recorded her reaction after taking the pill.
Huo Xing Chen, Jiang Bu Ting, Yao Guang, and Jiang Bu Ying embarked on their journey to Tianjue Sect. While passing by an inn, they encountered a female swordsman who defended the innkeeper against bandits. She emerged victorious, and the grateful innkeeper thanked her. Huo Xing Chen noticed that many women were inspired by her actions and began to walk the path of chivalry like men. In response, Huo Xing Chen resumed dressing as a woman and vowed to wander the martial world, striving to make it inclusive for all chivalrous individuals.
Yin Feng Mian expressed her desire to join their group and assist in finding Xuanbing Grass as a way to make amends for her past mistakes. Since Huo Xing Chen agreed, the others had no objections. However, after Yin Feng Mian's inclusion, she secretly instigated conflicts between Huo Xing Chen and the rest, intentionally causing Huo Xing Chen to distance herself from Jiang Bu Ting and the others. Although Jiang Bu Ting knew Yin Feng Mian had malicious intentions, he believed that for Huo Xing Chen, who would eventually become the leader of the Wuyue Sect, it was necessary to experience trials and tribulations to understand the treacherous nature of humanity, viewing it as a valuable lesson.
Mu Binghe sought out Huo Qing Liu to inquire about the timing of his marriage with Huo Xing Chen. Huo Qing Liu believed that the current affairs of the alien race were more pressing and suggested putting aside matters of love and affection for the time being. Huo Xing Chen, Jiang Bu Ting, and the others arrived in Jixiang Town, where the townspeople gossiped about Huo Xing Chen upon seeing her. Despite her inner fear, Huo Xing Chen greeted everyone, firmly believing that although people might not initially accept a woman appearing in public, they would eventually come to accept her given enough time.
Someone delivered a confidential letter to Huo Qing Liu, requesting a meeting outside the Wuyue Sect. Taking his sword, Huo Qing Liu left the house. However, not long after, he returned poisoned and fell into a coma. Huo Jianwa gathered the sect leaders and kept Huo Qing Liu's condition a secret. They elected Mu Binghe as the interim sect leader, and everyone agreed. The martial arts news reported that Huo Xing Chen would become the top figure in the martial world. Mu Binghe and the others were deeply concerned that Huo Xing Chen would be targeted as a result.
Yin Feng Mian asked Huo Xing Chen to accompany her to the Butterfly Valley to discuss something privately, and Huo Xing Chen agreed. Seeing that Huo Xing Chen hadn't returned for a while, Jiang Bu Ting, Jiang Bu Ying, and Yao Guang went to find her.
Yin Feng Mian led Huo Xing Chen to the Butterfly Valley, a place of extraordinary beauty where thousands of butterflies danced, creating an enchanting paradise. Huo Xing Chen was about to call Jiang Bu Ting to join her in admiring the butterflies when Yin Feng Mian coldly told her that she had run out of chances.
