Zhao Guang Ye stated that even if fate couldn't be changed, he would still control his own destiny. He Lan Xin Yue received a wooden swallow and was delighted, thinking that Tai Chu must have recovered.
He Lan Xin Yue realized that although Tai Chu had regained his human form, he hadn't regained his consciousness. However, Meng Ji told He Lan Xin Yue that Tai Chu would react when he heard her name, which is why she wanted He Lan Xin Yue to go and possibly help Tai Chu recover.
He Lan Xin Yue shared this information with Zhao Guang Ye, who asked her what she wanted to do now—bring him to her for recuperation or go to Tai Chu herself. He Lan Xin Yue was also hesitant, but Zhao Guang Ye suggested that it might be better for He Lan Xin Yue to go to Tai Chu, considering the interference and potential trouble if Tai Chu were brought here. Zhao Guang Ye assured He Lan Xin Yue that he and Princess Qiu Yi Chang would take care of things here, and there wouldn't be any problems.
He Lan Xin Yue agreed. Zhao Guang Ye told Princess Qiu Yi Chang that He Lan Xin Yue had once seen the future in his eyes, but it was just a massive fire with no one inside. Zhao Guang Ye believed that since he saw it, it must be related to him, so he decided to start that fire. Zhao Guang Ye stated that even if fate couldn't be changed, he would still control his own destiny.
He Lan Xin Yue prepared to go and find Tai Chu. Zhao Guang Ye came to see her off, mentioning that he was about to do something important. He warned He Lan Xin Yue that she would hear a lot of news, some true and some false, and he couldn't discern them either. So, she shouldn't believe or worry too much, but wait until he finished what he had to do.
He Lan Xin Yue asked Zhao Guang Ye what he was going to do, but he didn't reveal it. He Lan Xin Yue acknowledged that Zhao Guang Ye had always been clever and had strategies, so if he didn't want to share, she wouldn't ask anymore. She trusted him completely.
He Lan Xin Yue and Meng Yi Lang arrived at Tai Chu's location. He Lan Xin Yue almost fell, but Shi An saved her. Shi An mentioned that their master sent him to fetch them. He Lan Xin Yue was thrilled to see Tai Chu.
However, Tai Chu still had no consciousness and didn't recognize He Lan Xin Yue. He Lan Xin Yue asked Meng Yi Lang to go back, assuring him that if Meng Ji intended to harm her, he wouldn't have allowed her to come. She felt safe there, and Zhao Guang Ye needed Meng Yi Lang on his side.
Meng Yi Lang agreed and returned. Meng Ji told He Lan Xin Yue that he, like Shi An, was also a puppet. He Lan Xin Yue was astonished, and Meng Ji explained that he had maintained the same appearance for a hundred years in the mortal world. He used to believe it was due to his cultivation until the day he got injured and discovered his body was made of wood, realizing he was a puppet.
Meng Ji recalled the appearance of their master being attacked, but the unbearable pain made him forget that memory. He revealed that he was made from Tai Chu's branch, making him Tai Chu's blood relative. It was when Tai Chu encountered trouble that he felt so heartbroken and determined to save him.
Meng Ji mentioned that he had created several Shi An puppets before, but none of them had consciousness. He had intended to find Tai Chu and have him awaken Shi An, but he unexpectedly encountered the burning Tai Chu and rescued him.
Meng Yi Lang returned, and Zhao Guang Ye was delighted, acknowledging his hard work and asking him to rest. Zhao Guang Ye requested Princess Qiu Yi to issue a royal decree on his behalf.
