Episode 17 recap: Li Xiao Yao learned about his parents' background.
Watching the affection between Li Xiao Yao and Zhao Ling Er, Lin Yue Ru felt superfluous and could only drown her sorrows in alcohol. Liu Jin Yuan understood her feelings but couldn't help, so he could only accompany her. After getting drunk, Lin Yue Ru confessed her feelings to Zhao Ling Er, who understood her.
At this time, a theft occurred in the marketplace. Lin Yue Ru vented her dissatisfaction and beat up the thief. Li Xiao Yao then escorted her back to the inn.
The next day, A Nu wanted to become Tang Yu's only friend. While they were talking, they seemed to see a familiar face.
Zhao Ling Er learned that her mother's statue was in Yunmeng Marsh, and only she could resurrect her mother. She was very happy, but Elder Shi warned her that the Baiyue Sect was also searching for the statue, so their actions needed to be kept secret. Zhao Ling Er was caught in a dilemma, wanting to fulfill her promise to Li Xiao Yao but also wanting to save her mother.
A Nu reminded her to be cautious with Elder Shi, but Zhao Ling Er decided to try it no matter what.
Li Xiao Yao and Zhao Ling Er strolled through the marketplace, holding hands tightly. On the other side, Lin Yue Ru and Liu Jin Yuan searched the streets for Li Xiao Yao's figure but found nothing.
Lin Yue Ru felt lost and began to miss Suzhou and her father, but Liu Jin Yuan suggested visiting their parents in the capital. Lin Yue Ru instantly cheered up and was determined to become a female swordsman even if she had no love.
In the marketplace, Li Xiao Yao bought colorful threads symbolizing peace for Zhao Ling Er and confessed that he had only wanted to become a great hero, but after meeting Zhao Ling Er, he only wanted to accompany her.
Zhao Ling Er was deeply moved and revealed her plan to go to Yunmeng Marsh. Li Xiao Yao decided to accompany her.
After Elder Shi learned of this, he strongly opposed it and revealed that Li Xiao Yao's father, Li Sansi, was a notorious criminal in Nanzhao. He had stolen the Spirit Pearl, causing the Witch Queen to turn into a statue. He warned Li Xiao Yao that going to Nanzhao would make him despised by others.
At night, Li Xiao Yao took Zhao Ling Er to watch the revolving lanterns, struggling with the distinction between humans and demons. Elder Shi suddenly appeared and exposed the identity of Li Xiao Yao's parents. Shocked, Li Xiao Yao broke free from Zhao Ling Er's hand and left alone.
