Fall in Love with a Fox Episode 5 Recap
> Fall in Love with a Fox Recap
The group surrounded the three of them, accusing Jin Baiwan of stealing the *Puyuan True Scripture* for personal gain and killing Qing Songke in the process. Su Zhuozhuo bluntly stated that Qing Songke had died long ago. The other side refused to relent, and Baiwan wanted to defend herself, but Su Zhuozhuo interrupted, saying they were clearly only after the scripture. As tensions rose, a fight broke out, and the scripture was damaged.
Surprisingly, only two pages fell out of the book, the rest were blank sheets. The opposing side immediately accused Baiwan of being behind it. Qu Zheng quickly stepped in to protect Baiwan, promising to investigate the matter thoroughly. Baiwan, determined to complete her mission, left the two remaining pages in Qing Songke’s courtyard. Qu Zheng then ordered Su Zhuozhuo to return to Yanmen, and he prepared to part ways with Baiwan.
Though unwilling, Baiwan had no choice but to walk off on her own. Qu Zheng’s men had been secretly observing the situation and noticed a masked figure watching the two remaining pages. Meanwhile, Baiwan hadn’t gone far before she was chased by assassins. She tried to divert their attention to Qu Zheng, but they insisted they were only after her! At the critical moment, one of Qu Zheng’s masked men appeared to save her.
Qu Zheng, on the other hand, returned to the courtyard to confront the masked figure. The masked opponent was highly skilled, but Qu Zheng was no pushover. The masked man was shocked that Qu Zheng could withstand his palm strike and was eventually forced to flee. Qu Zheng hurried to rescue Baiwan, who was still wondering where her previous savior had gone. Qu Zheng asked her why she didn’t recognize the person standing right in front of her.
Baiwan hastily explained, but Qu Zheng was once again ready to part ways. Realizing the danger was real, Baiwan clung to him, insisting that he walk ahead while she followed behind. That night, she even flattered him, though Qu Zheng pretended not to care. After she fell asleep, he secretly watched over her. The masked figure was actually Jing Yuan, the Palace Master of the Nine Layers of the Ghostly Palace.
Years ago, in his quest for dominance over the martial world, he killed the Xu family and stole the *Puyuan True Scripture*. Although it was missing two pages, he still practiced it by force. Now, knowing someone could injure him, Jing Yuan realized the person was very familiar with the *Puyuan True Scripture*. After consulting a doctor, he learned that to heal his wounds, he would need a snow lotus flower, which could only be found in Taoyuan Valley.
Meanwhile, Qu Zheng also knew that the masked figure had been injured by his palm strike and was sure the man would head to Taoyuan Valley. His subordinates urged him to go, but Qu Zheng insisted that he couldn't go as his current self. Qu Zheng introduced his secret guard, Song Jianshan, to Baiwan.
The two then staged a playful scene in which Song Jianshan pretended to be pushing Qu Zheng to return home for an arranged marriage, making it look like Qu Zheng didn’t want to embarrass him. Baiwan didn’t quite understand, but the two men were already packing up, preparing to leave. They even said that they would meet again someday, no matter where in the world.
Something about those words made Baiwan feel sad, and reflecting on everything that had happened, she couldn’t help but cry. Unable to control herself, she chased after the carriage and finally stopped Qu Zheng. She asked him if getting married meant he wouldn’t have to return. Qu Zheng said nothing, so Baiwan directly asked if he could marry her instead. When Qu Zheng didn’t respond, Baiwan, heartbroken, turned to leave. Suddenly, Qu Zheng spoke, saying he was willing. Baiwan stood there, stunned.
