Although Yu Sifeng believed wearing the Lover's Curse Mask was his own choice, Liu Yihuan still felt guilty. Cultivation itself was arduous and long, and to be emotionless and loveless was something Liu Yihuan truly couldn't bear. He thought about helping Yu Sifeng break the mask's curse and even returned Xiao Yinhua to keep Yu Sifeng company. Chu Linglong complained that ever since Chu Xuanji went to Xuyang Peak, she hadn't kept in touch with everyone, especially Yu Sifeng.

When she left, he had repeatedly urged her to contact him. Chu Xuanji had always been ignorant of social etiquette, believing that keeping close friends in her heart was enough. Plus, she had agreed with Yu Sifeng to meet and train together after four years, so Chu Xuanji was sure Yu Sifeng would forgive her.

Chu Xuanji had always mistakenly thought Xiao Liuzi was the person she liked, but Xiao Liuzi had a soft spot for Chu Linglong and didn't understand Chu Xuanji's feelings. Besides the shadow demon in Shaoyang Sect that Chu Xuanji accidentally discovered and eliminated, other major sects had spies planted by the Tianxu Hall. Di Lang had been investigating for years without results. Since joining the Tianxu Hall, Wu Tong had been thinking about how to rise in position.

He seized this opportunity to offer a plan to the Hall Master and even brought someone from the Xuanyuan Sect to the Hall Master to prove that the Xuanyuan Sect had been concealing the spirit stones from Di Lang because the whereabouts of one of the spirit keys was within the Xuanyuan Sect's Orb of Heavenly Secrets. As for the location of the Orb of Heavenly Secrets, only the Xuanyuan Sect's Zhu Shi sect leader knew.

The Hall Master witnessed Wu Tong's vicious thoughts and naturally trusted him, appointing him as the Branch Master of Buzhou Mountain. With Wu Tong's help, the demon realm was about to take action. Four years had passed, and Yu Sifeng's cultivation had greatly improved. The Master of Lize Palace had great expectations for Yu Sifeng and was certain he would hand over the management of Lize Palace to Yu Sifeng.

The Lover's Curse Mask was sinister; once one fell in love again, they would be doomed forever. Yu Sifeng already knew this. Just then, he received a letter from Shaoyang inviting Lize Palace to train together to subdue small demons in the Central Plains. Yu Sifeng's training was also about to begin. Chu Xuanji, Chu Linglong, and Xiao Liuzi bid farewell to Shaoyang.

Hao Chen couldn't help but repeatedly instruct Chu Xuanji and told her to send messages anytime, wanting to keep track of Chu Xuanji's movements at all times. Chu Linglong was more playful and couldn't wait to go down the mountain to have fun. The three ate, drank, and played all the way, but didn't encounter any demons.

Just as they were hoping to subdue a demon for practice, they happened to meet some people from Wangxian Town on their way to Shaoyang Mountain to seek help. Because there were demons in the town wailing like ghosts in the middle of the night, frightening the townsfolk and making it impossible for them to live normally. Since they encountered demons, Chu Xuanji volunteered to fight and subdue the demons.

However, the three looked young, and the townsfolk were not very trusting at first. Thanks to Xiao Liuzi's eloquence and persuasiveness, the townsfolk were convinced, and so the three were invited to subdue the demons. When the people from the town went up the mountain together to pick Zhuyu grass, they were harmed by demons. After hearing the description, Chu Xuanji concluded that the demon was a Quru bird. After identifying the demon, the three immediately began the demon-catching operation.

Chu Xuanji was greedy and even found Zhuyu grass sweet. However, the cuts on the Zhuyu grass on this mountain were uneven, as if they had been forcibly torn off. While they were analyzing this, the three were attacked by Quru birds. Following the flying Quru birds, they surprisingly felt a strong demonic aura. Chu Linglong used a trick to check the situation of the Quru birds under the cliff.

Unexpectedly, hundreds of Quru birds swarmed out of the cave and attacked the three. The three could still resist a few Quru birds, but the number of demons was too large and the attacks were fierce. Chu Xuanji was outmatched, and blood spurted out. Even using her final move, she could only resist for a moment. Just as Chu Xuanji was being tossed around by the Quru birds, Yu Sifeng suddenly appeared.

In the past four years, Yu Sifeng had focused on cultivation, and his power was naturally so strong that the Quru birds were terrified and scattered in panic. Yu Sifeng carried the weak Chu Xuanji out of the cave mouth, placed her on the ground, and continued to pursue the Quru birds. Yu Sifeng and Ruo Yu descended the mountain together for training. However, Yu Sifeng was much colder towards everyone this time.

Chu Xuanji was incredibly happy to see Yu Sifeng. But in the midst of this, Lu Yanran from Dianjing Vally, who had been separated from her fellow disciples, kept interrupting Chu Xuanji's conversation with Yu Sifeng and constantly mocked the three from Shaoyang.

It turned out that Lu Yanran, Yu Sifeng, and others had planned to capture the Quru birds, but their plan was unexpectedly disrupted by Chu Xuanji and the others, which was why she was displeased with the three from Shaoyang. Chu Xuanji was about to train with Yu Sifeng, but Yu Sifeng coldly pushed her away again.

Chu Xuanji asked him if he was angry because she hadn't contacted him, but Yu Sifeng flatly denied it and was even anxious to leave Chu Xuanji. Yu Sifeng was only exceptionally cold towards Chu Xuanji verbally, but when Chu Xuanji fainted because she was poisoned while pursuing the Quru birds, Yu Sifeng still couldn't bear to abandon her. He took Chu Xuanji in, treated her injuries, and patiently listened to Chu Xuanji's explanation.

Chu Xuanji said she had neglected many good friends because she was cultivating in Xuyang Peak. But Chu Xuanji didn't know how Yu Sifeng could become distant from her because of this. Chu Xuanji could never imagine the restriction the new mask behind Yu Sifeng's face placed on him, preventing him from showing emotion. Yu Sifeng gave Chu Xuanji the shard of the Wan Jie Ba Huang Jing that he had found in the bitter water back then.

Chu Xuanji unintentionally refused it due to Hao Chen's instructions. This refusal severed the last remaining link between Yu Sifeng and Chu Xuanji. Yu Sifeng was hurt by this and sighed, lamenting that people's hearts were indeed fickle and unreliable, not worth trusting. Chu Xuanji pursued Yu Sifeng, but the Quru birds attacked again in flocks. Directly confronting the Quru birds with the current number of people would cause too much loss.

Yu Sifeng used a secret technique of Lize Palace to find the person behind the manipulation of the Quru birds. He fought with them and injured them, but Yu Sifeng had expended too much true energy and his breathing was disordered, requiring him to rest where he was. The remaining people quickly went to pursue the person controlling the birds. Chu Xuanji was originally led away by Chu Linglong, but she was worried about Yu Sifeng and returned halfway.

Chu Xuanji chased away the Quru birds that were ambushing Yu Sifeng. Feeling that Yu Sifeng's breathing was still disordered, she thought about helping him recover. Yu Sifeng had already forcibly suppressed his feelings for Chu Xuanji, but Chu Xuanji showed him all sorts of concern. She acted towards Yu Sifeng as she had before, without any distinction between male and female, only genuine friendship. She reached out to wipe Yu Sifeng's sweat.

Yu Sifeng's forced suppression of his feelings caused his breathing to become even more rapid. Chu Xuanji thought Yu Sifeng was still angry with her and tried different ways to amuse him. Chu Xuanji had originally softened Yu Sifeng's heart, but she just had to mention Xiao Liuzi. Yu Sifeng had already misunderstood that Chu Xuanji liked Xiao Liuzi, and upon hearing this, he wasn't angry but jealous. He sternly shouted at Chu Xuanji.

Chu Xuanji didn't want Yu Sifeng to become distant from her and sadly asked Yu Sifeng why he was different from before, if he didn't want to be good friends anymore. But in Chu Xuanji's heart, Yu Sifeng had always been the warm and kind young man from four years ago.
