After comforting Xie Xuechen, Mu Xuanling left and noticed Nan Xuyue standing not far away. She asked him why he didn’t try to console Xie Xuechen. Nan Xuyue replied that when his father had passed away, Xie Xuechen had stood far away as well. He explained that they both understood each other without words. Mu Xuanling realized she had forgotten that Nan Xuyue had also lost his father.

She asked if Nan Xuyue had ever thought about avenging his father, who had been killed by the Spirit Clan. Nan Xuyue replied that those who deserved to die were already dead, and the revenge he needed to take had already been taken. He then asked if Mu Xuanling had known Xie Xuechen before. Mu Xuanling remained silent, staring at him. Nan Xuyue said her reaction had already given him the answer.

Nan Xuyue pointed out that the way Mu Xuanling looked at Xie Xuechen wasn’t just out of affection. “The person involved often can’t see clearly, but the bystander always can,” he said. He asked her why she didn’t tell Xie Xuechen. Mu Xuanling admitted that she had wanted to tell him before, but later decided against it. She felt that Xie Xuechen already carried enough pain, and the circumstances under which they had met weren’t exactly happy memories.

Mu Xuanling thought about the time Xie Xuechen had sacrificed himself to save her. She said it was enough for her to remember his kindness. Nan Xuyue then asked if she still remembered him. From the look on her face, he realized she had forgotten. He explained that when they first met, her face bore golden patterns, and the bells she wore on her feet were unforgettable.

Nan Xuyue said that while everyone else pitied him, Mu Xuanling had seen through him. She had treated him like a normal person rather than showing him pity. Hearing this, Mu Xuanling realized he was the young master she had met before. Nan Xuyue asked if her promise to give him “a little bit of affection” still held true. Mu Xuanling froze, and Nan Xuyue smiled, saying he was just joking.

Mu Xuanling teased him, saying he was now surrounded by so many admirers that he didn’t need her little bit of affection anymore. Nan Xuyue laughed and offered to take her back. Meanwhile, after arranging his father’s funeral, Xie Xuechen approached Elder Yu, reminding him of an unfinished game of chess between them.

Elder Yu asked why, after all this time, Xie Xuechen still wanted to finish the game. He wondered if there was a wager involved. Xie Xuechen revealed that if he won, Elder Yu would have to tell him who the master of the Xiu Xian Pavilion was. Shocked, Elder Yu realized Xie Xuechen already knew.

Elder Yu’s men prepared to attack, but Xie Xuechen quickly subdued them. Elder Yu was stunned to see that Xie Xuechen’s powers had returned. Xie Xuechen admitted that he had already recovered before returning. He questioned Elder Yu about why he had allied with the Xiu Xian Pavilion’s master. Elder Yu replied that the master’s immense power left him no choice but to obey.

When Xie Xuechen asked if it was only because of fear, Elder Yu replied bitterly, “Only? For you, death might mean nothing. But for us, only by staying alive can we accomplish anything else.” Xie Xuechen pressed him for the whereabouts of the Xiu Xian Pavilion’s master, but Elder Yu claimed that the master’s location was a secret, with communication carried out through letters.

When Xie Xuechen demanded to know who had killed his father, Elder Yu confessed that he had only taken away the guards at his father’s door and knew nothing more. In the end, Xie Xuechen killed Elder Yu.

Mu Xuanling expressed surprise, saying she didn’t expect him to kill humans. Xie Xuechen explained that he acted based on what was right and wrong. When Mu Xuanling asked how he judged the Spirit Clan, Xie Xuechen said it was the same. He revealed that he had brought her to Yongxue City to change how others viewed the Spirit Clan.

To her dismay, Mu Xuanling realized that life in Yongxue City also involved daily lessons. After class, Elder Cang informed her that it was her turn to clean. While cleaning in Xie Xuechen’s courtyard, she noticed a Xuanling tree. Surprised, she remarked that this tree only grew in the Dark Abyss. Xie Xuechen explained that it had been there for a long time.

As he observed Mu Xuanling, Xie Xuechen thought to himself that she should find her place in this city. He then took her to select a sword. Mu Xuanling chose one and decided to name it “First Sword.”

Meanwhile, Sang Qi emerged from seclusion and ordered Yu Ying and Zhan Ying to report to the Xiu Xian Pavilion’s master. He emphasized that their priority was to confirm whether Xie Xuechen’s powers had truly been restored. He added that there were still other matters he needed to attend to next.
