As soon as Fan Yue spoke, Bai Shuo felt a surge of anger in her heart. She drew a dagger and aimed it at her chest, stating that if she died, the Desireless Stone would become a useless rock. However, Fan Yue was completely unfazed. He even exposed her desire for revenge, telling her that relying on the Human Race alone wouldn’t work.

She would have to choose between the Immortal and Demon Races, but he was sure that she had already seen the futility of the Immortal Race. Only the Bright Moon Palace, he claimed, was her best choice. Although Bai Shuo stubbornly retorted, she couldn’t deny that Fan Yue had hit the mark. Fan Yue then told Bai Shuo to attack him, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t hurt him.

In contrast, Fan Yue easily controlled her, mocking her for being unable to even get close to him, let alone kill Zhen Yu. He reminded her that Zhen Yu, as one of the three kings of the Demon Race, was not someone to be underestimated. Fan Yue then reminded Bai Shuo that she had no other options. Only by becoming strong enough to make her enemies fear her could she begin her revenge. He urged her to calm down.

Tian Huo, noticing Fan Yue’s unique attitude toward Bai Shuo, warned him not to be swayed by momentary pity. Fan Yue reassured Tian Huo that he knew exactly what he was doing. Bai Shuo, as a member of the Human Race, had involved herself in the conflict between the Immortal and Demon Races, and she needed to learn the power to protect herself.

Meanwhile, Jin Yao, the leader of the Lanling Sect, discussed the whereabouts of the Desireless Stone with other immortals. The immediate priority was to find the location of the Bright Moon Palace and find Bai Shuo to bring her back. Zhong Zhao had been punished with three hundred red-bone lashes due to the events in Ning’an City. This punishment was a severe one, as the red-bone whip was meant to torment the soul, making it unbearable for most people.

Although Jin Yao felt sympathy for him and knew that the Cold Spring Palace was the real culprit, he couldn’t absolve Zhong Zhao of his responsibility in the Ning’an chaos. In addition to the lashes, Zhong Zhao was also required to guard the Heart Cliff and reflect on his actions. Bai Shuo locked herself in her room for two days, until Tian Huo brought her a bottle of medicine and a knife, telling her to choose between the two.

With Tian Huo’s provocation, Bai Shuo snapped out of her despair and decided to take the initiative. She asked Fan Yue to teach her magic. She was willing to learn from him directly or, if he preferred, he could find someone else to teach her. Fan Yue gladly agreed. On the other hand, Fu Ling, having helped Zhong Zhao twice, was punished by Zhen Yu.

She declared her intention to recruit Zhong Zhao into the Cold Spring Palace, hoping to buy herself a month of time. Zhong Zhao, reflecting on his guilt over Bai Shuo, was suddenly approached by Fu Ling, who hinted at the mysterious circumstances surrounding the deaths of his parents, urging him to come to the Demon Race for answers.

It turned out that ten years ago, during the Lantern Festival in Xun Garden, the Human Race had been attacked by the Demon Race, resulting in hundreds of deaths. Lanling Immortal, Zhong Tai, and his wife Meng Ning had been ordered to investigate, but they were killed by the Scorpion Demon, Qian Yin. Zhong Zhao, suspecting that the true cause of his parents’ deaths was different, had been searching for answers for years without success.

Fu Ling informed him that his parents had not died at the hands of the Scorpion Demon, since the demon had already died two days ago. She hinted that the truth was not always what it seemed. Soon after, Fan Yue took Bai Shuo to the armory, where she chose the most powerful Fire Wheel Staff. Despite her strong will, she couldn’t fully control it, and the staff burned her hands with intense fire.

Seeing this, Fan Yue ordered Tian Huo to take Bai Shuo back to her room. Tian Huo treated her burns, warning her not to wander around the Bright Moon Palace, as there were taboos that she should avoid. After Tian Huo left, Bai Shuo reflected on her past with her father and silently vowed to take vengeance. She was determined to find her own path. In the following days, she didn’t see Fan Yue.

Unable to wait any longer, she secretly followed him into a secret room one night. The room was dimly lit by candles, with plaques hanging around, each engraved with different names. As she explored deeper, Bai Shuo was shocked to find a plaque with the name “Fan Yue. ” However, Fan Yue discovered her intrusion and became furious, warning her not to pry into any secrets. Bai Shuo, in her anger, insisted that she had every right to grow stronger.

Fan Yue replied that he understood her urgency to grow stronger, but the changes she had faced were not the only ones she had encountered. After Fan Yue used his magic to throw Bai Shuo out of the secret room, the surroundings fell silent once again. The plaques hanging on the walls were from the deceased members of the Bai Ze Clan, each one a memory that led Fan Yue to reflect on the past.

Years ago, when Fan Yue had woken up with no memory, he had spent some unforgettable and happy times with the clan leader, Gu Shang, and his little companion, Qi Feng. Unfortunately, the Bai Ze Clan had fallen into disaster when the Tiger Clan slaughtered their people. Fan Yue had been the sole survivor. The next morning, Bai Shuo arrived with fresh fruit to apologize to Fan Yue for her reckless behavior the night before.

However, she suddenly felt the effects of a backlash from demonic energy. When Fan Yue asked her about it, she admitted that she had been secretly practicing the Demon Race’s heart techniques. Fan Yue explained that the Desireless Stone was an ancient artifact of the Night Clan, which naturally clashed with the Demon Race’s techniques.

To resolve the backlash, Fan Yue took Bai Shuo to the Lanling Sect, where they sought out Lao Gui, a thousand-year-old mystical turtle with whom Fan Yue had a strong relationship. Fan Yue had previously saved Lao Gui’s life and helped him sever Zhen Yu’s tail, creating a rivalry with the Cold Spring Palace. Fan Yue instructed Bai Shuo to learn from Lao Gui, and despite his reluctance under Fan Yue’s threat, Lao Gui agreed to teach her. However, Bai Shuo was deeply dissatisfied with Lao Gui’s teaching methods.
