At the inn, Xiao Fan and Shu Shu discussed their next steps. Shu Shu noticed Xiao Fan's dejection and encouraged him, telling him that their past difficulties were overcome thanks to Xiao Fan's courage and persistence, which allowed them to reach the final step. This time would be no different; they would surely rescue Xiao Huan. Late at night, Xue Qi gazed at the starry sky, lost in her thoughts.

Xiao Fan came out, draped a coat over Xue Qi, and told her the plan to rescue Xiao Huan that he had discussed with Shu Shu. Xue Qi apologized to Xiao Fan, saying that she had misunderstood him and had always thought he lacked responsibility and acted imprudently. However, after this journey, she realized that Xiao Fan was more responsible than Shu Shu, herself, and even all the Qing Yun disciples.

Xiao Fan also thanked Xue Qi for helping him defeat his inner demons during the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament. Xue Qi also opened up, telling him about her story of being abandoned when she was a child. The two gained a deeper understanding of each other. Xue Qi returned to her room to rest. Xiao Fan sat still in his spot when his Blood-devouring Pearl suddenly reacted, making him realize that Bi Yao might be nearby.

In the desert, Bi Yao also stared blankly at her Golden Bell, always vaguely feeling that there was a forgotten story behind it. Bi Yao told Qin Wu Yan that she wanted to meet the Qing Yun disciples to see if they were as sinister and cunning as Qin Wu Yan claimed. Qin Wu Yan tried every means to stop her, so Bi Yao had to promise that she would not act rashly without his permission.

The next day, Xiao Fan woke up Shi Tou, who was sleeping drunkenly on the table. Shi Tou told Xiao Fan that he drank so much because the wine tasted very similar to what his mother brewed.

Shi Tou said that through their time together over the past few days, he could see that Xiao Fan and the other Qing Yun disciples were kind-hearted people, so he revealed his mother's secret to Xiao Fan: his mother was not human, but a demon. Xiao Fan said that as long as they didn't do evil, it didn't matter if they were human or demon.

However, Shi Tou's words also reminded Xiao Fan that there might be other demons here, and it was highly possible that these demons had kidnapped Xiao Huan. The three's conversation was overheard by San Niang, who was passing by. She stopped the three of them, preventing them from entering her tavern. Unexpectedly, Xiao Qi greeted Xiao Fan through the window, calling him benefactor.

San Niang no longer insisted on blocking them and told Xiao Fan why Xiao Qi was locked in her wine cellar. A month ago, Xiao Qi stayed at her inn, ate and drank for free for a month, and then tried to escape. She discovered him and locked him in the wine cellar, making him work for her to pay off his debt.

Li Xun arrived and accused Xiao Qi of colluding with Liu Wei to steal the Mysterious Fire Mirror. Xiao Qi stated that he had already separated from Liu Wei and did not know the whereabouts of the Mysterious Fire Mirror. Li Xun did not believe Xiao Qi's explanation at all, so Xiao Qi had to flee. Li Xun chased after him alone in a hurry.

Xiao Fan and Xue Qi deduced that the Mysterious Fire Mirror and Xiao Huan were likely in Xiaochi Town, so they decided to split up and search for Xiao Huan in Xiaochi Town. Xiao Fan accompanied Shi Tou, searching for Xiao Huan under the guise of looking for Shi Tou's mother. By chance, the two came to a courtyard full of butterfly flowers.

Shi Tou wanted to ask the old man in the courtyard about his mother, but the old man did not intend to tell Shi Tou and turned to go back into the house. Shi Tou kept knocking on the door. Bi Yao saw this from a distance, thinking Shi Tou was bullying the old man, so she secretly cast a spell, knocking Shi Tou to the ground from afar. Xiao Fan vaguely caught a glimpse of Bi Yao's figure.

The old man came out after hearing the commotion outside. Shi Tou told him that his mother's name was A Ling. The old man's face changed drastically upon hearing A Ling's name, but he still falsely claimed that he did not know this person.

Xiao Fan told Shi Tou that the old man might have his reasons for not wanting to speak, and suggested that Shi Tou try a different approach and ask others in the town, while he himself needed to find someone, the Bi Yao whom he was constantly thinking about. Xue Qi found Li Xun and persuaded him to give up the dispute and work together with everyone to find the Mysterious Fire Mirror and Xiao Fan.

Passersby kept pointing and whispering about Xue Qi and Li Xun. Li Xun believed that these people might be guilty consciences, and the Mysterious Fire Mirror was very likely in the town. At this time, San Niang rushed to the courtyard where Shi Tou had just been and found the old man.

San Niang knew that Shi Tou was Sister Jiang's son, but their Fox Clan had been living in seclusion here for a hundred years and did not want these young people to find out. San Niang said that fortunately, she had moved Xiao Huan from the wine cellar to him.

The old man asked San Niang to find a way to move Xiao Huan elsewhere before dark, and at the same time, to find a way to deal with the Qing Yun disciples. Bi Yao questioned Qin Wu Yan why, as a disciple of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, he was working for the Ghost King Sect. Qin Wu Yan told her his experiences, which moved Bi Yao somewhat.

Qin Wu Yan said that he had something to do and would be back shortly. San Niang pulled Xiao Huan, walking quickly through the desert, intending to take Xiao Huan to heal her eldest brother. Xiao Huan argued, but San Niang knocked Xiao Huan unconscious and left with her, but Xiao Huan's handkerchief fell to the ground. Shu Shu and Luo Ye had been searching in the desert.

Upon seeing Xiao Huan's handkerchief, Shu Shu told Luo Ye to go back and notify everyone, while he himself rushed deeper into the desert to find Xiao Huan. Unexpectedly, he encountered a group of bandits. Shu Shu was outnumbered and almost got killed. San Niang appeared and saved Shu Shu. Shu Shu was overjoyed to see Xiao Huan behind San Niang, but in an instant, San Niang used a bit of magic, and Shu Shu fell unconscious to the ground.

Xiao Fan was determined to help Shi Tou find news of his mother, so he returned to the old man's residence late at night, only to find the old man assassinated and dead in the courtyard. Bi Yao and Xiao Fan, who arrived shortly after, began to fight fiercely. A masked Qin Wu Yan took Bi Yao away. Shi Tou also arrived, telling Xiao Fan that the villagers were rushing there. The villagers mistakenly thought Xiao Fan was the murderer and surrounded Xiao Fan and Shi Tou, not allowing them to leave.
