Bai Xuelu unexpectedly witnessed a scene where Bai Xueying and Lord Shi Yu were together, and she believed that Xueying was secretly colluding with Lord Shi Yu. Xuelu believed that two people in love couldn't be together forever, but until the last moment, she wouldn't give up on her desire to become the crown princess.

Xueying came to Zhu Yan and told her friend about falling in love with Lord Shi Yu. Zhu Yan believed that Shi Yu had engraved his feelings on the wooden bird, indicating his interest in Xueying. However, due to their family interests, they couldn't truly be close. Zhu Yan sighed that it would be better if Shi Ying, Shi Yu's elder brother, were still alive. Zhong Ming secretly approached Zhu Yan and learned that she sincerely wanted to learn the technique of reuniting the primordial spirit. He told her that the junior priestess should go to the Emperor's Valley at the hour of the pig to retrieve the Seven-Star Lamp from the tomb of the Supreme Emperor. He also mentioned that the Seven-Star Lamp served as an introduction to practicing the technique of reuniting the primordial spirit and considered it as a pledge of apprenticeship.

Knowing that retrieving the Seven-Star Lamp was a life-threatening choice, Zhu Yan still decided to go to the Emperor's Valley to get it. Xue Lu snatched the wooden bird from Xueying's hands, thinking that there was a suitor harassing her sister. They gathered in front of the elders to discuss the matter, stating that they found objects of affection between a man and a woman in Xueying's room and wanted to investigate the person responsible and clear Xueying's innocence. Xueying didn't want to reveal Lord Shi Yu's identity in front of everyone and could only claim ignorance of the sender's identity.

Alone at the hour of the pig, Zhu Yan arrived at the tomb of the Supreme Emperor. She insisted on retrieving the Seven-Star Lamp. Zhong Ming saw that Zhu Yan had really come for the lamp and thought that it would lead to her downfall, and he couldn't blame anyone else. Zhong Ming had specially brewed a concentration soup for Shi Ying, who sensed that Zhong Ming was hiding something from him. He realized that someone had entered the tomb of the Supreme Emperor and hurriedly rushed to the scene. Shi Ying witnessed Zhu Yan's determination to retrieve the lamp despite her injuries and was determined to use his own power to save the crown prince. Seeing Zhu Yan's spiritual power about to deplete, Shi Ying intervened and helped her successfully obtain the Seven-Star Lamp.

Shi Ying knew that Zhong Ming had acted out of concern for him and didn't blame him for his actions. However, Shi Ying stated that he would make Zhu Yan let go of all her thoughts. Zhu Yan brought the Seven-Star Lamp to meet the junior priest Shi Ying, but he stated that even the Emperor of the world had turned into dust, indicating that there was no technique in the world to reunite the spirit and soul. Shi Ying mentioned that he allowed Zhu Yan to retrieve the Seven-Star Lamp to make her realize the difficulty and give up, but he didn't expect Zhu Yan to be foolish and reckless, which he despised the most. Shi Ying refused to acknowledge Zhu Yan as a friend, which made her very sad and disappointed. Zhu Yan promised not to bother Shi Ying anymore and vowed never to return to the Emperor's Valley.

Lord Shi Yu was invited to preside over justice and saw the gifts given to Xueying by people from the mountains. He initially wanted to find a way to exonerate Xueying, but Xue Lu claimed that the wood used for the bird was unique to Jiuyi Mountain, prompting Da Si Ming to order the collection of writings from all the priests and attendants in the mountains. They were determined to find the person who had a connection with Xueying, the Princess of Xue. After examination, no one's handwriting matched the inscription on the wooden bird. Lord Qing asked about the solitary priests who practiced seclusion in the Emperor's Valley, which made Da Si Ming realize that Lord Qing had been colluding with the Ice Clan.

Xueying remained silent, causing Lord Qing to suspect that she and the person who gave her the wooden bird were in love. When Zhu Yan learned that Xueying was being publicly judged, she hurried to the main hall and stated that someone who concealed the truth was not worthy of her affection. Zhu Yan believed that as a man, he should have come forward when his loved one was suffering. She suggested giving up on the oath written on the wooden bird. Under Zhu Yan's provocation, Lord Shi Yu publicly admitted that he was the one who gave her the wooden bird and that he was the one who admired Princess Xueying. This enraged Lord Qing, but Lord Bai was delighted that Lord Shi Yu and his daughter had mutual feelings.

At that moment, the servants of Jiuyi Mountain reported that the solitary priests in the Emperor's Valley had already left. Upon hearing the news, Zhu Yan became furious and fainted. Da Si Ming found Lord Bai and advised him not to rush to marry off his legitimate daughter because the future crown prince might not necessarily be Lord Shi Yu. Lord Bai deduced from Da Si Ming's words that Lord Shi Ying was still alive.

After returning home from Jiuyi Mountain, Zhu Yan lost her appetite and became distraught, worrying the queen. Lord Chi Yuan, at the queen's request, came to visit Zhu Yan. Zhu Yan expressed her sadness that there was no technique to reunite the soul, and she would never see the crown prince again. Lord Chi Yuan comforted Zhu Yan, saying that what seemed impossible today might change in the future. He took Zhu Yan out to stroll and taste delicious food, and in a relaxed mood, Zhu Yan confided in him her worries. Lord Chi Yuan believed that Zhu Yan was born to be affectionate and compassionate to everyone in the world, but some relationships are fleeting, and she should not hastily give her friendship to someone she just met. He advised her to stay away from this person as he preferred solitude. Zhu Yan learned that Lord Chi Yuan had not shed tears for anything until now. They made a pact that if either of them was feeling down, they would confide in each other.
