Xie Xuechen and Mu Xuanling fought with Yan Si, but Xie Xuechen deliberately let Yan Si escape. Mu Xuanling asked him why he did that, and Xie Xuechen explained that it was unlikely Yan Si could have stolen the Jade Token so easily with the tight security at Jinghua Palace. He speculated that Yan Si must have an accomplice and added that they would see if Nan Xuyue could catch up with her.

Sure enough, Yan Si arrived in an alley, where she handed the Jade Token to a man in black. She urged him to deliver the token to the Lord of the Pavilion and complete their grand mission. Feng Yao caught up with Yan Si and told the man in black to leave first. As Feng Yao approached step by step, Yan Si took her own life.

Feng Yao retrieved Yan Si’s inner core and admitted that it was her mistake for letting the man in black escape. Nan Xuyue reassured her, saying at least they had now confirmed Yan Si had an accomplice. Feng Yao revealed that she overheard their conversation, where Yan Si had instructed the man to ensure the Jade Token was delivered to the Lord of the Pavilion.

Hearing this, Xie Xuechen deduced that this Lord must have some connection with the Decaying Immortal Pavilion. Mu Xuanling remarked that the name alone suggested animosity toward the Immortal Alliance. Feng Yao thought for a moment and mentioned noticing something peculiar earlier. She shared her observations with Nan Xuyue and the others. Following this, Xie Xuechen instructed Gao Qiumin to investigate everyone at Jinghua Palace.

Elder Zai Xi informed Su Ningzhen about the situation, explaining that Gao Qiumin suspected there was a traitor within the palace and was conducting a person-by-person investigation. Zai Xi asked Su Ningzhen if she should intervene, but Su Ningzhen declined, saying this was a good opportunity to reorganize the palace. Su Ningzhen even ordered Zai Xi to tell Gao Qiumin to conduct thorough body searches during the investigation.

As Zai Xi was about to leave, Su Ningzhen stopped her and questioned her recent activities. Zai Xi explained herself, and Su Ningzhen let her go after hearing her account. Zai Xi glanced back at Su Ningzhen from the doorway, feeling something was amiss. Meanwhile, Gao Qiumin reported back to Xie Xuechen, stating that she had thoroughly investigated everyone at Jinghua Palace and was confident there was no problem.

Gao Qiumin questioned whether they had made a mistake, insisting there was no traitor in the palace. Xie Xuechen asked if she was certain she had investigated everyone. Gao Qiumin affirmed, but when Xie Xuechen asked if she had investigated Cui Wanwan, she immediately defended Cui Wanwan, saying she wouldn’t do such a thing. Nan Xuyue then mentioned that Feng Yao had seen hook-shaped leaves in Jinghua Palace that day.

Feng Yao quickly drew the leaves and showed Gao Qiumin, explaining that such leaves did not exist within the palace. She added that the leaves she saw outside were green, indicating they were fresh and less than two hours old. Leaves would turn brown after two hours. Xie Xuechen pointed out that on the day in question, Gao Qiumin was at Yunxiu Manor, while Cui Wanwan used the opportunity to enter Jinghua Palace and steal the Jade Token.

Gao Qiumin refused to believe it was Cui Wanwan. Xie Xuechen asked why she was so certain. Gao Qiumin admitted she just didn’t want to believe it. Mu Xuanling, frustrated, retorted that if she didn’t want to believe it, then what was the point of their efforts over the past few days—was it all a game to her? Gao Qiumin left, and Nan Xuyue remarked that Mu Xuanling seemed hostile toward Gao Qiumin.

Mu Xuanling admitted she didn’t like her and had always disliked her. Back at Jinghua Palace, Gao Qiumin searched Cui Wanwan’s room but found nothing. She encountered Nan Xuyue and Xie Xuechen there and reported that her search yielded no evidence. Nan Xuyue revealed that they had cast a spell on Yan Si’s inner core and would be able to see all her memories in two hours. Overhearing this, Cui Wanwan panicked, fearing her secret would be exposed.

She went to the inn to retrieve the inner core, unaware that it was a trap set by Xie Xuechen. Cui Wanwan was discovered and, during her escape, was killed by Su Ningzhen. Afterward, Su Ningzhen invited Xie Xuechen and the others to dine at Jinghua Palace. During the meal, a Soul-Seizing Gu from the Dark Abyss suddenly appeared.
