Xie Lingyun was displeased that Mo Xiao gave the stone to a little girl and accused him of valuing romance over friendship. Mo Xiao could only agree to talk about it later. But when Xie Lingyun saw how reluctant Mo Xiao was to part with Wu Chen, he became worried that the most promising cultivator of Shushan might be ruined by a young girl. Chong Guang had never pursued immortality; his goal had always been to unify the Three Realms.

He was aware that Shushan was investigating the matter at Mang Mountain, but he had no intention of killing the little fox, firmly believing that with Shushan's current capabilities, they would never be able to trace him. Every day, Xie Lingyun brought glutinous rice dumplings to Wu Chen, along with books for her to read. He even suggested taking her for a walk down the mountain, but Wu Chen refused because she had promised Mo Xiao she wouldn’t leave.

She wanted to stay by his side and couldn’t just run off. When Xie Lingyun asked if she liked Mo Xiao, Wu Chen didn't understand what "liking" meant. It was only after hearing Xie Lingyun describe how people feel when they like someone that she realized she liked Mo Xiao. Their conversation was overheard by Zi Su, who had been secretly following them. After Xie Lingyun left, Zi Su went to find Wu Chen alone.

From their conversation, she learned that Wu Chen was the demon girl from Mang Mountain. Wanting to protect Mo Xiao from being implicated, Zi Su lied to Wu Chen, claiming it was Mo Xiao's intention for her to leave and go elsewhere. At first, Wu Chen didn’t want to go, but when she found out the rice dumplings were made by Zi Su, she was delighted and went with her.

Zi Su tricked Wu Chen into going to Yuan Beichen and asked him to issue an order to expel Wu Chen from the mountain. After testing her, Xuan Zhen confirmed that Wu Chen was just a mortal girl who had entered the place by mistake and agreed to let Zi Su escort her off the mountain. Just then, villagers from Mang Mountain came and accused Wu Chen of being the demon girl from their village.

Yuan Beichen had no choice but to detain her. Wu Chen accused Yuan Beichen of oppressing them and insisted that she had promised to wait for Mo Xiao and would do so no matter what. If they insisted on imprisoning her, she wouldn’t hold back. She unleashed her icy cold energy, instantly freezing several people in the hall. When Mo Xiao rushed back and touched Wu Chen, the ice dissipated. But Wu Chen had used too much strength and nearly fainted.

Mo Xiao asked Zi Su to support her and respectfully explained to Yuan Beichen that Wu Chen was an orphan he had brought back out of concern she might harm others. Xie Lingyun also testified that the cold energy wasn’t demonic but a medical condition. Yuan Beichen temporarily refrained from punishing her. Zi Su apologized to Mo Xiao.

She had begun to suspect something when she noticed Mo Xiao eating the rice dumplings and secretly followed Xie Lingyun to Wu Chen’s place. She feared Wu Chen might implicate Mo Xiao, especially since Wu Chen openly declared her affection for him. Zi Su had never meant to hurt Wu Chen—she only wanted Yuan Beichen to drive her away. Yuan Beichen sent word for Mo Xiao to go to the Sword Pavilion. Mo Xiao, realizing his mistake, knelt to accept punishment.

Yuan Beichen scolded him for bringing the girl back without permission and asked if he liked her. Mo Xiao denied having personal feelings. Yuan Beichen demanded he swear before the Sword Pavilion's ancestral shrine that he had no selfish motives. Yuan Beichen then made his own vow to suppress all worldly emotions and devote himself to protecting Shushan. While Yuan Beichen was punishing himself, Wu Chen was in deep pain.

Zi Su and Xuan Zhen tried to help her, but it was useless. Mo Xiao sensed her pain and flew to protect her. He explained that their cultivation techniques clashed and continuing like this would endanger Wu Chen’s life. Xuan Zhen didn’t want to let Wu Chen go, but Mo Xiao, afraid for Wu Chen’s life, forcibly took her away. Xuan Zhen informed Yuan Beichen and speculated that Wu Chen was actually Feng Lixue, daughter of Feng Xingtian.

Remembering Feng Yue’s words, Yuan Beichen feared Wu Chen might follow in her father’s footsteps and fall into the demonic path, endangering Shushan in the future, so he decided to take action early. Thanks to Mo Xiao’s care, Wu Chen woke up and was relieved to see him again. She now understood that Mo Xiao was right to keep her from going down the mountain.

Mo Xiao tried to explain that his master had no ill intentions, but Wu Chen didn’t need an explanation—she had always trusted Mo Xiao. She was just curious: was Mo Xiao afraid others would hurt her, or that they would hurt themselves because of her? Mo Xiao remained silent. Wu Chen suddenly felt she might become a burden to him.

Senior Brother Lu came to arrest Wu Chen on orders, but Zi Su blocked him at the door and asked him to leave the Tiance Academy. However, he refused. Mo Xiao came out and refused to let him take Wu Chen, promising to personally confess and accept punishment the next day. Knowing he couldn’t win against Mo Xiao, Senior Brother Lu had no choice but to leave for now.

Wu Chen came out and asked Mo Xiao directly: if she stayed and was punished, or left and avoided it, which would he choose? Mo Xiao said that if she had made a mistake, she should be punished. Wu Chen was very happy, thinking Mo Xiao couldn’t bear to let her go. She agreed to be punished, and Zi Su couldn’t believe Wu Chen would think about things that way.

Zi Su brought Wu Chen more rice dumplings, worried she wouldn’t get to eat them during her punishment. But she had also prepared many herbs from the Hundred Herbs Sect to keep Wu Chen alive. Wu Chen, however, wasn’t worried at all and calmly read her storybook. She believed Mo Xiao would never let her get hurt. This statement infuriated Zi Su. She felt Wu Chen had brought too much trouble to Mo Xiao and should stay away from him.

But Wu Chen believed Mo Xiao was her destined one and they couldn’t be separated, making Zi Su storm off in anger. Mo Xiao went to Xie Lingyun to request the Divine Mechanism Map and the Purple Bestowal Immortal Sash. The map revealed all the traps in the Iron Law Sect, while the sash could block all punishment. Xie Lingyun agreed to steal both but asked for a promise in return—he wanted the freedom to choose any magical artifact.

The next morning, Xie Lingyun led people to escort Wu Chen and asked Mo Xiao to go to the Sword Pavilion for punishment. Mo Xiao was worried about Wu Chen going alone, but Xie Lingyun reminded him that he already had the Purple Bestowal Immortal Sash, so what was there to worry about? Mo Xiao knew he couldn’t afford to provoke more conflict with Yuan Beichen, so he agreed. Before leaving, he silently placed the sash around Wu Chen’s wrist.

While Mo Xiao was receiving punishment at the Sword Pavilion, he heard that Yuan Beichen wanted to send Wu Chen to the Demon Subduing Palace. Alarmed, he rushed there. Yuan Beichen believed Wu Chen had approached Mo Xiao with ulterior motives. But Wu Chen insisted she was Mo Xiao’s destined one and refused to be separated. Yuan Beichen brought up the names Feng Xingtian and Feng Lixue, which Wu Chen didn’t recognize but found strangely familiar.

Yuan Beichen thought she was pretending and sentenced her to the Demon Subduing Palace. Mo Xiao rushed in and begged Yuan Beichen to release Wu Chen.
