Episode 18 recap: Yun Tian He learned the truth.
Elder Chong Guang agreed but requested that Mu Rong Zi Ying not teach Yun Tian He any spells. The algal jade left by Yun Tian He's mother suddenly lit up but quickly faded. Liu Meng Li mentioned that her Empress Jade had behaved the same way before, suggesting that someone might have summoned it.
Xuan Xiao believed it was his doing and finally sensed Su Yu's algal jade. Liu Meng Li wanted to treat Xuan Liang's migraine, but Xuan Ye said he had other matters to attend to and asked Liu Meng Li to handle it herself. Yun Tian He received a message asking him to come to Qianren Tomb to meet Xuan Xiao.
Yun Tian He arrived only to find the same person who previously attempted to assassinate him, the person in black clothing. The person in black clothing was Xuan Ye, who revealed that everyone in Qianren Tomb was a fellow disciple killed by Yun Tian Qing, and the headless statue kneeling there was Yun Tian Qing. Yun Tian He was furious and was injured by Xuan Ye.
Yun Tian He couldn't believe it was Xuan Ye since Xuan Ye had been the first person to treat him kindly in Qianren Tomb. Liu Meng Li went to see Xuan Liang, who claimed not to need treatment as he had received it when Xuan Ye's mother was still alive, but not afterward.
Liu Meng Li believed Xuan Liang's migraine was caused by the falsified historical records, but Xuan Ye's mother had already passed away before the great war, so how could she have treated Xuan Liang? Liu Meng Li questioned Xuan Liang about why he tampered with the historical records, and Xuan Liang attempted to kill Liu Meng Li but fainted.
Liu Meng Li treated Xuan Liang and uncovered the secret he was hiding. When Xuan Liang regained consciousness, he was surprised to learn that Liu Meng Li had discovered the truth and asked about her relationship with Su Shen. Liu Meng Li revealed that Su Shen was her master. Xuan Liang believed that Liu Meng Li must have found out and wanted to silence her, but Huai Shuo arrived and informed them that something had happened with Xuan Ye.
Xuan Ye wanted to kill Yun Tian He but was intercepted by Elder Chong Guang. Mu Rong Zi Ying and Elder Qing Yang also arrived, confused about why Xuan Ye wanted to kill Yun Tian He.
Vuzhao also arrived, saying that if certain things were revealed, they would all be finished. Liu Meng Li and the others arrived as well, and Liu Meng Li disclosed the truth: when Jing Ci was killed, Xuan Liang came and took away the child, while Yun Tian Qing arrived holding another infant, which was Liu Meng Li. Finding Jing Ci already dead, they left first.
The child taken away by Xuan Liang had a longevity lock, which was Xuan Ye. She was Xuan Zhen's child. Yun Tian He questioned why Xuan Liang would slander his own father, and Jing Ci explained that Xuan Ye was the result of an affair between Xuan Zhen and Jing Ci. They did it to protect their master's reputation.
Yun Tian He was furious, questioning why his father's reputation didn't matter. Xuan Liang pleaded with Yun Tian He, begging him not to reveal this matter, and Vuzhao also offered to die in atonement. Xuan Ye couldn't believe her true identity, realizing that her years of seeking revenge were a joke, and she committed suicide.
Yun Tian He blamed himself as well, as he only wanted the truth and didn't intend for anyone to die. When Su Yao learned about the incident, Vuzhao accused Yun Tian He of driving Xuan Ye to her death. Both Yun Tian He and Liu Meng Li hoped that Su Yao would cover up the truth.
Han Ling Sha defended Yun Tian He, believing that his father shouldn't bear the blame. Su Yao agreed to conceal the matter, realizing that Yun Tian Qing's actions were not limited to this incident. Yun Tian He wanted to know what kind of person Yun Tian Qing was, and Su Yao described both Yun Tian He and Yun Tian Qing as sincere individuals who lived according to their own hearts.
Su Yao believed that the truth of the past differs for each person and advised Yun Tian He to stop investigating further. However, Yun Tian He requested to smash the kneeling statue of Yun Tian Qing, and Elder Qing Yang and Su Yao found the request reasonable, granting permission.
Mu Rong Zi Ying requested permission for Yun Tian He to offer incense to his father here, and Su Yao agreed. Yun Tian He locked himself in a room, causing concern among Liu Meng Li and the others. Han Ling Sha questioned why the Qionghua Sect couldn't coexist with demons, as it would prevent many problems.
Mu Rong Zi Ying had already found the corner of the tablet at that time and asked Han Ling Sha to give it to Yun Tian He, considering it the appropriate time. Yun Tian He smashed the kneeling statue of his father, feeling that it was now done openly and honestly.
Han Ling Sha stole some wine, and the three of them celebrated in Drunken Flower Shade. Yun Tian He's algal jade emitted light again, leading them to a forbidden area.
