Episode 13 recap: Yue Jin Zhao removed the mask from Bian Luo Huan's face and discovered that he looked exactly like himself, except for a scar on his face
Ju Shi Fang and Ming Xiu also arrived and were stunned by the scene In the moment of astonishment, Bian Luo Huan swiftly flew up into the treetops and disappeared
Bian Luo Huan took the seat of the Qiyuan Sect, and Gao Xiao proudly reported his achievements to "Saint Xuan," played by Bian Luo Huan. Learning that it was Gao Xiao who released the transformative incense, Bian Luo Huan felt a strong resentment but kept it to himself, vowing to settle the score silently. However, he praised Gao Xiao for a job well done and promised to help him ascend to the position of Sect Master. Gao Xiao eagerly expressed his gratitude and vowed to repay the Sect Master's favor with unwavering loyalty.
Luo Zhao Yan attentively took care of Xian Qing. When Xian Qing woke up, Luo Zhao Yan tried to pull away, but Xian Qing held onto her. Xian Qing felt sorry for involving Luo Zhao Yan, but Luo Zhao Yan reassured him, saying that without Xian Qing, they wouldn't have known Bian Luo Huan's true identity. Furthermore, nobody in the group had any qualms about Xian Qing being a demon. Xian Qing specifically asked Luo Zhao Yan what she thought, and she replied that she had always regarded Xian Qing as an honorable brother and senior. Xian Qing chuckled self-deprecatingly upon hearing her response and gave her a hairpin. Luo Zhao Yan trembled, realizing that Xian Qing had discovered her true gender.
Xian Qing told her that Luo Zhao Yan had saved his life, so accepting the hairpin was only fair. As for being male or female, it didn't matter. Luo Zhao Yan reluctantly accepted the hairpin just as Ju Shi Fang entered the room to deliver medicine to Xian Qing. Startled by the sight, Ju Shi Fang quickly retreated.
Yue Qi learned that Bian Luo Huan and Yue Jin Zhao looked identical and tried to comfort him, saying that he was even more kind-hearted than Bian Luo Huan. Meanwhile, Bian Luo Huan knelt in the icy snow as Ge Lao Da harshly reprimanded him for allowing Yue Jin Zhao to remove his mask and reveal his true face, which jeopardized their plan. Bian Luo Huan believed he did nothing wrong by saving Qi and couldn't understand his mistake. Ge Lao Da became increasingly angry and punished Bian Luo Huan harshly with a lightning strike. Ge Qing Fei intervened to calm Ge Lao Da, reminding him that Xiao Huan had also faced difficulties. Seventeen years ago, he forced her to hand over Qi from the Tianqing Sea to balance Zhu Yu's power. Xiao Huan had been by her side all these years, teaching her earnestly. She pleaded with Ge Lao Da not to blame them.
Xian Qing sensed Luo Zhao Yan's internal hesitation and understood that she was still hesitant to reveal herself as a girl to everyone. However, Luo Zhao Yan was an open-minded person who believed that they were all brothers bound by life and death, and there should be no secrets among them. So, she bravely disclosed the truth that she was a girl to Yue Qi and Ju Shi Fang. To her surprise, besides Ju Shi Fang, Yue Qi didn't react strongly, which made Luo Zhao Yan realize that Yue Qi already knew her identity.
Everyone traveled together to Wu Yan Village, and they discovered that it was very close to the Pure Spring Eye. Upon arriving in the village, Yue Qi and Yue Jin Zhao were excited to revisit the place, but they noticed that it had changed significantly since their previous visit. The villagers' lives had improved greatly. Xian Qing used her skills and discovered that the villagers were carrying the crystals they were investigating.
Yue Qi and Yue Jin Zhao went to find Shi Nai Nai, the old woman who had saved Yue Qi in the past. However, Shi Nai Nai spoke evasively and refused to tell the truth. They then sought out Uncle Lin Yuan, who had discovered them in the village before, but he also evaded their questions. They realized that both Shi Nai Nai and Uncle Lin Yuan were not being honest.
The group split up to investigate separately, with Xian Qing secretly keeping watch. She overheard Shi Nai Nai reporting their arrival and investigation to a masked woman who threatened Shi Nai Nai to follow her instructions. Xian Qing returned to regroup with the others and sensed a demonic aura in their vicinity, identical to the one emanating from Su Xuan. Yue Jin Zhao began to suspect Lin Yuan's identity, as he had always regarded him as a savior but noticed him acting suspiciously.
Shi Nai Nai eventually approached them and revealed the location where the crystals were stored. Yue Jin Zhao realized that this was a trap set by a powerful figure behind the scenes.
