The Blossoming Love Episode 2 Recap
> The Blossoming Love Recap
Mu Xuanling told Yu Ying that it was their master, Lord Sang Qi, who had instructed her to let Xie Xuechen escape. By doing so, she could follow him and locate the Immortal Alliance Token. Yu Ying asked why, if this was the case, their master had still ordered them to pursue Xie Xuechen. Mu Xuanling explained that only through such actions could Xie Xuechen be convinced to trust her.
She instructed Yu Ying to first restrain Xie Xuechen, and at the critical moment, she would appear to save him. That way, Xie Xuechen would be grateful to her, and their relationship would grow closer. Mu Xuanling then asked Yu Ying if she could see Xie Xuechen's heart demon. Yu Ying released Xie Xuechen's heart demon, and Mu Xuanling saw a vision of him searching for a rabbit in a snowy field.
His father appeared and told him that the rabbit had already been killed and that he should stop looking for it. Xie Xuechen questioned why his father had killed the rabbit he loved. His father replied that Xie Xuechen bore a heavy responsibility and could not afford to have attachments. He asked Xie Xuechen what he would choose if, one day, he had to decide between the world and the thing he loved most.
Xie Xuechen asked why he must choose one or the other. His father told him that his responsibilities allowed no room for personal attachments. Yu Ying commented on how Xie Xuechen's illusion was different from others'. Mu Xuanling explained that it was because he had no desires. Yu Ying found it hard to believe, questioning how he could be without desire.
Mu Xuanling replied that he had been trained by his father from a young age and, with his unparalleled cultivation and fame, had nothing else to strive for. Mu Xuanling then asked Yu Ying if she could see Xie Xuechen’s memories from ten years ago. Yu Ying replied that her power could only reveal desires, not memories. Mu Xuanling remarked that Yu Ying was of no use to her, and with that, she killed Yu Ying.
However, Yu Ying’s shadow lingered, and Zhan Ying and others speculated whether Yu Ying had been killed by Mu Xuanling or Xie Xuechen. As Xie Xuechen prepared to leave, Mu Xuanling asked where he was going. Xie Xuechen told her not to follow him, saying that she was of the demon race while he was of the human race, and they were not meant to walk the same path.
Mu Xuanling, however, said that all paths lead to the same destination. She remarked that Xie Xuechen carried a scent, and they could track him using it. Mu Xuanling then revealed that she had a pair of Illusion Hairpins, which, when worn, would make others see them as ordinary people. She placed one of the hairpins on Xie Xuechen’s head and asked him to place the other on her. Ignoring her, Xie Xuechen left, but Mu Xuanling quickly followed him.
They arrived at an inn where the innkeeper informed them there was only one room left. Mu Xuanling insisted they take it. As they walked past, members of the Mirror Blossom Palace seated nearby noticed Xie Xuechen’s reluctance and speculated that Mu Xuanling looked like a wealthy young lady. They guessed Xie Xuechen must have some extraordinary qualities to accompany her. Overhearing this, Mu Xuanling teased Xie Xuechen, saying he indeed had remarkable qualities.
Not long after they entered their room, they sensed a demonic aura. Looking out the window, they saw the young master of Mirror Blossom Palace, Gao Qiumin, and a disciple, Cui Wanwan, arriving. The two took out a Treasure-Sniffing Mouse named A Bao. Mu Xuanling recognized it as a spirit race creature like herself and noticed that A Bao was on the verge of death from fear. Mu Xuanling struck Gao Qiumin, allowing A Bao to escape.
Later that night, A Bao quietly approached Mu Xuanling and transformed into a little girl, revealing that she had just learned how to take human form. A Bao told them that she came from Bixiao Palace and that her father was Fu Cangli. Xie Xuechen asked why she hadn’t registered at the Spirit Temple. Mu Xuanling explained that if they registered now, they would be captured and beaten.
She expressed sympathy for A Bao, but their actions had already drawn Gao Qiumin’s suspicion. Gao Qiumin and Cui Wanwan pursued Mu Xuanling and Xie Xuechen. During the battle, Mu Xuanling recognized Gao Qiumin as someone who had previously bullied her and attempted to kill her. However, Xie Xuechen stopped her, leading to an argument between the two. In the end, Xie Xuechen trapped Mu Xuanling in his Linglong Shackles.
