Episode 2 recap: Luo Zhao Yan took the Yue siblings back to the Luo family village and saved Ju Shi Fang on the way.
Excitedly, Gao Xiao said that only the Lord of the Mists could make the soul fish in the Qiyuan Pearl ascend, and Yue Qi was the Lord of the Mists. Luo Zhao Yan swung his sword towards the unconscious Yue Qi, but Yue Jin Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, repeatedly assuring that Yue Qi was not the Lord of the Mists. Yue Jin Zhao activated his capital and the telepathic power with Yue Qi, awakening the unconscious Yue Qi. Shen Xuan saw that Yue Qi was actually crying, which surprised him because the Kun clan never shed tears.
Yue Jin Zhao finally saved Yue Qi, and Luo Zhao Yan took Yue Qi and Yue Jin Zhao away. Gao Xiao and Meng Jiaoshi came to see Shen Xuan, and he told them that the Floating Gold Hall could no longer serve as a stronghold and asked them to seek shelter in the Sunset Village branch.
Gao Xiao asked Shen Xuan curiously, "Is that girl named Qi really the Lord of the Mists?" Shen Xuan coldly asked him in return if he had any objections. After Gao Xiao left, Shen Xuan muttered to himself, saying that he would wait for her in the Sunset Village. Luo Zhao Yan had a doctor examine Yue Qi, and it turned out that she was unharmed and had not been injured.
Yue Qi was just asleep, and she spoke in her dream that she wanted to eat egg noodles. Yue Jin Zhao asked Luo Zhao Yan to make five bowls of egg noodles, and Luo Zhao Yan readily agreed. He asked Yue Jin Zhao if he was searching for his origins, and Yue Jin Zhao told him about what happened three years ago when he and Yue Qi woke up in Wuyan Village.
After Yue Qi woke up, Yue Jin Zhao carefully checked her and confirmed that she hadn't been harmed. When the five large bowls of egg noodles were brought in, Yue Qi acted spoiled and didn't let Yue Jin Zhao eat. Yue Jin Zhao indulgently agreed to let Yue Qi have all the egg noodles. Luo Zhao Yan came to meet Baiming and told him about the incident of Luo Zhao Yan and the Yue siblings together destroying the Qiyuan Sect's Floating Gold Hall branch. Seeing that Yue Qi was extraordinary, Luo Zhao Yan suggested that they return to the Luo family village together with Yue Jin Zhao to investigate carefully.
Yue Qi asked Yue Jin Zhao for her birthday gift, and as a result, they both bought each other a jade pendant. When they put them together, they were clearly a matching pair.
Yue Qi was extremely happy after receiving the gift and couldn't stop playing with it. Unexpectedly, she noticed a fleeting pattern on her arm.
Luo Zhao Yan handed over the gold and silver treasures confiscated from the Floating Gold Hall to the Luo steward to distribute them to their rightful owners. Then he prepared to take the Yue siblings to the Luo family village. On the way back, Yue Jin Zhao asked Luo Zhao Yan about his knowledge of the Qiyuan Pearl. Luo Zhao Yan told them that the Qiyuan Pearl was distributed by various regional authorities to new believers. The believers would use magic to implant the Qiyuan Pearl into their bodies. Over time, the Qiyuan Pearl would absorb the body's energy and form a soul fish. Once the soul fish flew out of the body one day, the believer would turn into a stone statue.
Yue Jin Zhao sorrowfully said that it turned out each Qiyuan Pearl represented a life, and now it seemed that the Qiyuan Sect was not only about seeking wealth but also causing harm. However, he emphasized that Yue Qi couldn't be the Lord of the Mists, otherwise, she wouldn't have been trapped in the underground passage. Luo Zhao Yan also stated that if Yue Qi wasn't the Lord of the Mists, the Luo family village would surely not have trouble with them.
By the riverside of Jincui Province, a beautiful woman was bathing while a passing man was secretly peeping. The woman hurriedly put on her clothes and left the water when she noticed him. It turned out she was Princess Su Xuan of the Yu clan. She angrily punished the man, who shouted for help. Luo Zhao Yan and the Yue siblings quickly got off their carriage upon hearing the shouts. Luo Zhao Yan recognized the man as Ju Shi Fang and quickly pleaded with Su Xuan to spare him. Reluctantly, Su Xuan stopped, but she looked unfriendly upon seeing Yue Qi. She even prepared to shoot her but left bitterly after seeing that Luo Zhao Yan and his group outnumbered her.
Ju Shi Fang quickly apologized to Su Xuan, but she didn't even acknowledge him and left without looking back. Ju Shi Fang was the head of the Ingenious Hall of the Central Plains Zhengwu Alliance. He had come here to search for Iron Willow Wood and accidentally encountered Su Xuan bathing. Su Xuan was secretly protecting Qi in the name of Lin Yuan, but seeing her helping outsiders and opposing her, Su Xuan was extremely annoyed. Lin Yuan instructed her not to get upset and to continue secretly following and protecting Qi.
Ju Shi Fang told everyone that the Iron Willow Wood, which had a fifty-year growth cycle, was most suitable for making mechanical devices. After speaking, he even demonstrated the tools he carried with him, which made Yue Qi very happy. Luo Mai Ming was lamenting how the ancient gods entrusted nine springs to nine immortals, but did they ever consider what price they would pay?
