Mo Xiao asked Wu Chen whether she had lived in the snowy plains of Mount Mang since childhood. Wu Chen explained that her master made her live there from a young age—partly to avoid hurting others and partly to manage her illness. She said that only when she met Mo Xiao was she able to interact normally with someone, and she liked being around him.

At that moment, Mo Xiao received an order from his sect to return to Mount Shu. Seeing that it was time for his midday cultivation, he prepared to leave. Wu Chen couldn't help but complain that Mo Xiao was a bookworm. Her words were just like Feng Lixue’s back in the day, which made Mo Xiao miss Feng Lixue even more. To help Wu Chen protect herself, Mo Xiao taught her some sword techniques and the Ice Incantation.

Through this, Wu Chen realized that Mo Xiao would not be taking her with him. Mo Xiao believed that they were not on the same path. He promised to cure her cold affliction but felt guilty about not being able to take her along. Hearing this, Wu Chen lost the will to continue practicing. That night, Mo Xiao’s spirit drifted to the presence of the Immortal Lord.

The Immortal Lord told him that the inner demon in his heart had not been eradicated—it had merely been forcibly suppressed over the years, which was why he ended up here. Mo Xiao suddenly recalled Feng Lixue falling off the cliff all those years ago. He believed that although he had promised to protect Feng Lixue, he had ultimately caused her to fall, leaving behind karmic retribution. But Mo Xiao swore that such a thing would never happen again.

Just as he made that vow, the words “If the tribulation cannot be overcome, the karma cannot be dispelled” vanished. After waking up, Mo Xiao realized Wu Chen was missing. He searched everywhere and found her bathing. As he was about to turn away, he noticed a snake swimming toward her. Without hesitation, he grabbed a robe, draped it over Wu Chen, and carried her out of harm's way. They rolled onto the ground, and their lips accidentally touched.

Wu Chen felt that Mo Xiao’s lips were warm. Mo Xiao then noticed a feather-shaped mark on the back of Wu Chen’s neck. Upon questioning, he learned it was a birthmark—identical to the one Feng Lixue had. Mo Xiao suspected Wu Chen might actually be Feng Lixue, and ordered an investigation into Wu Chen and her master, but no useful leads came back. Wu Chen waited outside Mo Xiao’s door, wanting him to continue teaching her swordsmanship.

Mo Xiao, however, said he would take her to Mount Shu the next day. Wu Chen was overjoyed. The next day, Mo Xiao stood ready on his sword, waiting for Wu Chen. She was scared of falling and feared the sword wouldn’t be able to carry both of them, so she didn’t dare get on. Mo Xiao forcibly pulled her up.

At first, she clung to him tightly with her eyes shut, but as they flew higher, she gradually opened her eyes, looking around with curiosity and asking questions. Mo Xiao brought Wu Chen to the Xuanqing Courtyard. Wu Chen felt a strange sense of familiarity but couldn’t remember having been there before. The place was a forbidden area of Mount Shu, and Mo Xiao told her it had been uninhabited for a long time.

He said she could stay temporarily to recover from her illness. Wu Chen, however, insisted on staying with him. Mo Xiao explained that outsiders weren’t allowed in Mount Shu and that this was the only option. Wu Chen reluctantly agreed and asked him to bring her glutinous rice dumplings when he returned. Mo Xiao promised he would bring them every day as long as she stayed and waited for him.

At this time, Chong Guang couldn’t sense Wu Chen’s presence due to Mount Shu’s protective barrier, but he wasn’t worried. As long as Wu Chen was at Mount Shu, his plan was progressing. Mo Xiao returned to report to Yuan Beichen, who was pleased and praised Mo Xiao’s abilities, asking him to continue being a role model for everyone. But in private, Yuan Beichen harshly reprimanded Mo Xiao, questioning him about being enchanted by the snow demon.

Mo Xiao explained everything, saying he hadn’t sensed any demonic energy from the girl and only wanted to help a lonely orphan before sending her away after curing her. Yuan Beichen temporarily believed him and said he would work to quell the rumors. Xie Lingyun and Murong Jing waited outside for Mo Xiao to return and asked about his trip. But as they spoke, they started to argue. Mo Xiao, used to this, quietly left.

By the time Xie Lingyun and Murong Jing realized, Mo Xiao had already returned to his hall. Mo Xiao’s three attendants—Mu, Zi Su, and others—were kneeling inside the hall, insisting they accompany him on his next trip to protect him. Helpless, Mo Xiao agreed to bring them next time. Suddenly, Mo Xiao asked Zi Su if she could make glutinous rice dumplings. Though Zi Su knew Mo Xiao never ate sweets, she agreed to make them as soon as possible.

Xie Lingyun came to ask Mo Xiao for money and was shocked to hear that all the gold leaves had been spent. He jokingly asked if Mo Xiao had bought a house or land. Just then, Zi Su brought in the rice dumplings, surprising Xie Lingyun even more—he couldn’t believe that the Mo Xiao he knew had started eating sweets. In the courtyard, Wu Chen tried to practice the sword techniques Mo Xiao taught her, but she couldn’t get them right.

She suddenly thought of her Xue’er and wondered if she was doing well. When Mo Xiao arrived with the rice dumplings, he found Wu Chen asleep at the door. He carried her back to her room, and as he was laying her down, their lips accidentally brushed again. Mo Xiao not only brought Wu Chen rice dumplings but also brought the two birds he had raised since childhood.

He remembered how Feng Lixue once saved a bird’s nest and wondered if the birds recognized Wu Chen, as they perched on her shoulder. Seeing the birds made Wu Chen think of her own Xue’er. Before leaving, Mo Xiao gave Wu Chen a Mind Stone so she could summon him if needed. However, back at home, Mo Xiao felt uneasy, constantly thinking about that accidental kiss. A smile formed on his lips.

Wu Chen held the Mind Stone and called Mo Xiao’s name—he appeared instantly, which made Wu Chen very happy and trust that he hadn’t lied to her. Since the birds didn’t want to sleep in her arms, Wu Chen asked Mo Xiao to stay with her until she fell asleep. The head of Tianyu invited people from Mount Shu, and the sect leader specifically appointed Mo Xiao to go.

Before leaving, Mo Xiao had Zi Su make many glutinous rice dumplings to send to the Xuanqing Courtyard. Xie Lingyun followed him and met Wu Chen. Hearing Wu Chen speak with childlike ignorance, Xie Lingyun realized her brain hadn’t fully developed. Mo Xiao asked Xie Lingyun to take care of her, but he was reluctant. Mo Xiao clarified that he just wanted to cure Wu Chen’s cold affliction and then send her down the mountain to live peacefully.

Xie Lingyun reluctantly agreed. Xie Lingyun later noticed Mo Xiao seemed to fear Wu Chen. When Wu Chen approached, he instinctively stepped back. Mo Xiao remembered being kissed by Wu Chen earlier and blushed, shocking Xie Lingyun even more. When Wu Chen heard that Mo Xiao was going out, she wanted to follow, but Mo Xiao couldn’t take her. He reminded her that she could use the Mind Stone to summon him if anything happened. Xie Lingyun grew even more annoyed—he had asked Mo Xiao for that stone many times without success, and now Mo Xiao had given it to a little girl.
