Zhu Li was very happy to see Chang Lan. When he talked about blowing up Guang Han Mountain, it made Chang Lan feel that Zhu Li was too reckless. However, Zhu Li acted in this way to avenge Yun Xi, so Chang Lan couldn't really blame him and had to let it go.

Tian Yao and Chang Lan were originally friends, but they hadn't seen each other for many years. Now that they were reunited, they had things to discuss. The sealing of Su Ying had long been known in both the human and demon realms, and Chang Lan was naturally aware of it. So she congratulated Tian Yao on avenging himself, but Tian Yao was not happy at all because he had hurt Yan Hui in the process. Chang Lan advised Tian Yao to stay in Qing Qiu for a while longer, suggesting that she might be able to help him gain Yan Hui's forgiveness. However, Tian Yao only wanted Yan Hui to recover and had no other thoughts.

In Qing Qiu, there is a physician named Pu Fang. Chang Lan thought it might be worth a try to seek his help. However, Tian Yao knew that Yan Hui was influenced by dark energy, so he asked Chang Lan about the whereabouts of the Yin and Ming Scroll. Unexpectedly, he learned that the Yin and Ming Scroll had been kept inside a folding screen, waiting for the destined person to retrieve it. But over a decade ago, the folding screen mysteriously disappeared and its whereabouts remain unknown.

Zhu Li took Yan Hui and Bai Xiaosheng around aimlessly. Without the noise from Huan Xiaoyan, he felt uncomfortable and asked about her whereabouts. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Huan Xiaoyan emerged from Zhu Li's waist belt, giving him a big fright. Huan Xiaoyan considered herself the Queen of the Illusory Kingdom and didn't want to bow to the Lord of Qing Qiu. Lacking the courage to hide in Tian Yao, she chose Zhu Li, who wouldn't be searched. With Huan Xiaoyan arguing with Zhu Li, they soon parted ways. Seeing this, Bai Xiaosheng led Yan Hui to a nearby cave near the palace, where he hid the folding screen containing the Yin and Ming Scroll. Bai Xiaosheng deliberately didn't light a lamp to bring Yan Hui closer, but Yan Hui noticed the light and Bai Xiaosheng awkwardly stopped his actions.

For over a decade, Bai Xiaosheng had been searching everywhere for a soulmate among the profound beings. He himself didn't even know how many people he had approached, but unfortunately, none of them could pass the first test. However, Bai Xiaosheng didn't come away empty-handed. He recorded all the possible questions that could be asked in the first test for future reference. Yan Hui looked at the strange questions and couldn't help but feel speechless. However, she quickly realized that even without a soulmate, she could still break through the first test by answering the questions correctly. Bai Xiaosheng had tried this method before, but it was futile. In addition to that, he had also tried cross-dressing and undergoing the test with someone else, but it yielded no results. Learning about Bai Xiaosheng's glorious history, Yan Hui couldn't help but admire the sacrifices he had made.

Yan Hui decided to give the method of memorizing and answering the questions a try, and Bai Xiaosheng was naturally willing. He couldn't help but keep his gaze fixed on Yan Hui's face. The two of them decided to have another round. Tian Yao learned from Huan Xiaoyan that Bai Xiaosheng and Yan Hui had been hiding mysteriously in the courtyard behind the tree hole recently. Feeling a pang of jealousy, he went to investigate and unexpectedly discovered that Bai Xiaosheng and Yan Hui had already obtained the news about the "Yin Ming Fu." They were currently answering the questions together. Yan Hui asked Bai Xiaosheng each question, and Tian Yao could provide the correct answers. However, when he learned that Yan Hui valued her own life the most, he immediately recalled the harm he had caused to her and couldn't help but leave with a sense of melancholy.

Yan Hui had already memorized Bai Xiaosheng's preferences to a great extent. She was worried that if they continued like this, she would forget what she had memorized. So she asked Bai Xiaosheng to enter and give it a try. Bai Xiaosheng naturally agreed, and the two of them entered the folding screen. The old master of the Qingqiu was the one who set the questions inside the folding screen. He had been blocking Bai Xiaosheng for decades. Seeing that he had brought Yan Hui this time, he suspected that Bai Xiaosheng had found someone to impersonate his lover. However, he still followed the rules and presented the questions. For the first and second questions, Yan Hui and Bai Xiaosheng matched their answers and passed smoothly. But for the third question, it asked who should be saved first if a lover and a family member fell into the water simultaneously. Bai Xiaosheng had been ostracized by his clan since childhood and was even handed over to the Lord of Dark Qi by his own mother. He had already given up on familial love, so he chose love. However, Yan Hui observed Tian Yao's interactions with Su Ying and then with herself, and she believed that being heartless was the best option. Therefore, she chose familial love. Their answers didn't match this time, so naturally, they could only stop at the first round.

Tian Yao knew that the black energy within Yan Hui was growing stronger, so he wanted to help her return to normal. He asked Chang Lan about lively places in Qingqiu, hoping to foster true understanding between Yan Hui and Bai Xiaosheng. Yan Hui also realized this and took the initiative to find Bai Xiaosheng. The two of them started dating in the direction of lovers, but unfortunately, Yan Hui didn't feel any connection with Bai Xiaosheng when he held her hand and put his arm around her waist. She felt very awkward.

Tian Yao told Bai Xiaosheng that Yan Hui likes to eat baozi and likes money. So Bai Xiaosheng took Yan Hui to eat baozi and insisted on sharing one together. However, Yan Hui directly refused. Then Bai Xiaosheng took Yan Hui to a casino and gambled away all of her money. This made Yan Hui angry and she didn't want to have anything to do with him.

Bai Xiaosheng learned that Yan Hui likes to watch people bathe, so he took her to a spring and performed a striptease. However, Yan Hui scolded him and mercilessly pushed him into the pool. This made Bai Xiaosheng so angry that he no longer wanted to believe in Tian Yao.
