Episode 4 recap: Jing Rong met Mei Chao Feng in an abandoned well.
Mu Yi quietly followed Princess Bao Sanniang to her residence. After Wen Yan Hong Lei left, Mu Yi appeared in Bao Sanniang's room. At first, Bao Sanniang did not recognize Mu Yi's true identity, but when he mentioned the events of Niu Jia Village years ago, Bao Sanniang realized that the man in front of her was her husband Yang Tie Xin, whom she had missed for eighteen years. The reunited couple were moved to tears.
Just as Bao Sanniang was about to ask Yang Tie Xin how he survived the pursuit back then, Wen Yan Kang arrived. Bao Sanniang hid Yang Tie Xin in a cabinet, but Wen Yan Kang sensed something unusual and barged in. He realized his mother was hiding something from him and attacked the person hiding in the cabinet. Guo Jing, who was hiding in the shadows, saw Yang Tie Xin get injured and came out to intervene. Bao Sanniang also stopped Wen Yan Kang and told him that the man before him was his birth father.
Wen Yan Kang refused to believe that he was not the Jurchen Wen Yan Kang, but the Han Chinese Yang Kang. He did not want to accept that Yang Tie Xin was his real father. Seeing her son refuse to acknowledge his birth father, Bao Sanniang was deeply saddened and tried to commit suicide by hitting a pillar. Seeing Bao Sanniang injured, Yang Tie Xin decided to leave the Prince's residence with her.
Yang Kang tried to stop Yang Tie Xin from leaving with his mother. Yang Tie Xin used the unique gun technique of the Zhao family to block Yang Kang, forcing him to face his true identity. Mu Nian Ci came to the courtyard looking for her father, and Yang Tie Xin told Bao Sanniang that this daughter was his adopted daughter. He then left the Prince's residence with Bao Sanniang and Mu Nian Ci.
Guo Jing successfully found Huang Rong in the Prince's residence, but they were intercepted by the Prince's men. They had to hide in an abandoned well to avoid the search, where they encountered the hidden Mei Chao Feng. Mei Chao Feng recognized Guo Jing as the disciple of the Seven Heroes of the South, and was about to kill him, but Huang Rong revealed Mei Chao Feng's true identity and stopped him. Huang Rong asked Mei Chao Feng to help stop the Prince's men from attacking them, and said she would help Mei Chao Feng speak to his father.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong brought Mei Chao Feng out of the dry well. Mei Chao Feng also realized that his master was not at the prince's mansion, and asked Huang Rong for the secret martial arts of Peach Blossom Island in exchange for his help.
Yang Kang, accompanied by the prince's soldiers, blocked the escape of Yang Tiexin's group from the prince's mansion. He was determined to take his mother back. At the same time, the Quanzhen sect member Ma Yu appeared on the scene. Knowing that Yang Tiexin was the friend of Qiu Chuji, he helped Yang Tiexin successfully escape the city with Bao Xiruo.
Mei Chao Feng, Guo Jing, and Huang Rong fought against Ouyang Ke, Liang Ziweng, and others. But because Mei Chao Feng had gone berserk and could not move, they gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. At this time, Yang Kang returned to the prince's mansion and ordered the others to help search for his mother, allowing Guo Jing and the others to escape.
The Seven Heroes of the South came to the prince's mansion, intending to kill the berserk Mei Chao Feng. But Guo Jing, grateful for Mei Chao Feng's previous assistance, tried to stop them. Huang Rong also took the opportunity to take Mei Chao Feng away from the prince's mansion.
Huang Rong rescued Mei Chao Feng only because she could not bear for someone from Peach Blossom Island to die at the hands of outsiders. It was then that she learned from Mei Chao Feng that he had been hiding in the prince's mansion since the Seven Heroes of the South had blinded her.
Wenyan Hongliang and Yang Kang quickly caught up with Yang Tiexin's group. Yang Kang wanted to kill Yang Tiexin himself, but Qiu Chuji appeared to save Yang Tiexin. However, Yang Kang took the opportunity to poison Qiu Chuji, and Ma Yu hurriedly treated him to counteract the poison.
Bao Xiruo did not want to return to the prince's mansion with Yang Kang, and Yang Kang refused to acknowledge Yang Tiexin as his father, only recognizing Wenyan Hongliang as his father.
Seeing no way to escape, Yang Tiexin did not want to implicate the innocent Qiu Chuji and Mu Nianci, so he committed suicide with the Yang family spear. Bao Xiruo did not want her husband to die alone, so she also committed suicide with a dagger.
