The so-called Empathy technique allows one's spiritual consciousness to enter the body of another person and experience their memories. Wei Wuxian pressed his palm against the blind girl's and closed his eyes. Slowly, he felt his consciousness merge with hers, reliving everything she had gone through. The blind girl’s name was A-Qing. Ten years ago, she was still an innocent and lively young girl.

Forced by circumstances, she pretended to be blind to gain people's sympathy and alms while occasionally engaging in petty theft. One day, A-Qing stole a purse at the marketplace and accidentally bumped into Xiao Xingchen. At that time, Xiao Xingchen was completely blind. When he learned that A-Qing was also blind, he sympathized with her and encouraged her to mend her ways, allowing her to follow him on his journey.

While traveling through the mountains, Xiao Xingchen and A-Qing happened upon a severely injured man. Since Xiao Xingchen could not see, he was unaware that the person he had rescued was actually Xue Yang. When Xue Yang slowly woke up and saw Xiao Xingchen, he was momentarily shocked. However, upon realizing that Xiao Xingchen did not recognize him, he relaxed. Under the care of Xiao Xingchen and A-Qing, Xue Yang's injuries gradually healed.

Ever suspicious, Xue Yang tested A-Qing multiple times to confirm whether she was truly blind. Only after several trials did he finally lower his guard around her. A-Qing did not like Xue Yang. She felt that he was clearly a cultivator, yet he never revealed his identity, always being secretive—surely up to no good. However, when she voiced her concerns to Xiao Xingchen, he dismissed her worries.

And so, Xue Yang continued to live with them, even "kindly" guiding Xiao Xingchen in eliminating what he claimed were walking corpses. Xiao Xingchen, trusting him, wielded his sword against them, unaware that the ones dying under his blade were ordinary, defenseless people. Three years passed in this manner. One day, outside the city, A-Qing encountered Song Lan. Upon learning that he was Xiao Xingchen's close friend, she happily led the way for him.

However, as they reached the house, Song Lan suddenly caught sight of Xue Yang slipping through the door. His face changed drastically, and he stood frozen in shock. Hiding behind a haystack, A-Qing curiously asked Song Lan what was wrong. Song Lan trembled all over, watching in rage as Xue Yang casually chatted with Xiao Xingchen. When Xue Yang stepped out with a basket, preparing to buy groceries, Song Lan, filled with hatred, lunged at him.

Xue Yang, seeing Song Lan, did not appear frightened and instead smirked with his signature devilish grin. The two immediately engaged in an intense battle. Song Lan demanded to know why Xue Yang had deliberately approached Xiao Xingchen. Xue Yang sneered and revealed the truth—during these years, Xiao Xingchen had indeed killed many "evil creatures," but he had never realized that they were actually living, breathing humans.

It turned out that Xiao Xingchen had given his own eyes to Song Lan so that he could see again. Now blind, Xiao Xingchen relied on his sword, Shuanghua, to sense resentful energy and slay supposed evildoers. However, Xue Yang had discovered a loophole—if he cut out the tongues of those poisoned, even Shuanghua could not differentiate between a walking corpse and a living person.

So, Xue Yang went around cutting people's tongues out and then tricked Xiao Xingchen into killing them. Song Lan trembled with rage, cursing Xue Yang for his cruelty, for taking advantage of Xiao Xingchen's blindness and making him suffer unbearably. Xue Yang remained indifferent. To him, Xiao Xingchen had lost his sight for Song Lan's sake. So, what right did Song Lan have to condemn him? Song Lan was thrown into turmoil. Seizing the opportunity, Xue Yang released toxic mist.

As Song Lan inhaled it, he screamed in pain. With calculated malice, Xue Yang plunged his sword into Song Lan's mouth, cutting out his tongue. Song Lan spewed blood, blindly swinging his sword at Xue Yang. At that moment, sensing the commotion outside, Xiao Xingchen rushed out, following the guidance of his sword. Without hesitation, he drove his blade straight through Song Lan's chest. Song Lan turned his head in disbelief.

Struggling forward, he tried to place his Fuxue sword in Xiao Xingchen's hands, hoping he would recognize him. But in the end, he failed. Xue Yang, laughing cheerfully, pulled Xiao Xingchen back inside to prepare dinner, while Xiao Xingchen, trusting him completely, remained unaware that he had just slain his closest friend. Hiding behind the haystack, A-Qing witnessed everything. She was so terrified that her soul nearly left her body.

Through the Empathy technique, Wei Wuxian had now learned the entire truth. He loathed Xue Yang's wickedness, his face twisting in fury. Jin Ling and the others, watching Wei Wuxian’s expression, feared that he might never wake from the trance. They hurriedly rang a bell beside his ear. Wei Wuxian gasped as he regained consciousness.

Looking at Xiao Xingchen’s corpse inside the coffin, he had already deduced what had happened next—after dealing with Song Lan, Xue Yang must have also harmed Xiao Xingchen and A-Qing. The fragmented soul inside the Spirit-Trapping Pouch could only belong to Xiao Xingchen. Wei Wuxian clenched his teeth in rage. No matter what, Xue Yang had to die! At that moment, Lan Wangji was still locked in a fierce battle with Xue Yang.

Seizing an opportunity, Lan Wangji snatched Shuanghua and the Spirit-Trapping Pouch from Xue Yang’s grasp. Enraged and humiliated, Xue Yang disappeared into the thick fog. Seeing that Lan Wangji had lost track of Xue Yang, Wei Wuxian deliberately spoke to agitate Xue Yang, exposing his countless atrocities over the years and forcing him to show himself.
