> Resumos de The Unclouded Soul
Hong Ye tenderly looks after Xiao Yao as she sleeps off her intoxication. In her drunken state, she is fixated on his happiness, asking how much silver it would cost to buy a smile meant only for her. Her sincere words deeply move Hong Ye. Meanwhile, a grim situation unfolds within the Qionghua Sect. Madam Jin brings food to her husband, Jin Muqing, but he dismisses it as filth.
Consumed by a monstrous craving for human blood, he rages about the difficulty of restraining his urges until their daughter, Yunyi, returns. When Madam Jin reminds him of their sect's duty to eliminate demons, she asks what kind of creature he has become, realizing the true monster is standing right in front of her. Driven to a bloodthirsty fury, Jin Muqing nearly attacks her but manages to restrain himself at the last second.
Later, Madam Jin visits Xiao Yao at the inn, urgently requesting to be taken to Yunyi so they can leave Pingjiang Prefecture immediately. She laments that Yunyi’s lifelong blindness might simply be an inescapable fate. During the conversation, Xiao Yao notices a fresh wound on Madam Jin’s neck. Though Madam Jin blames a cat, her suspicious behavior alerts Xiao Yao that something is wrong. When Xiao Yao later finds Hong Ye, he is uncharacteristically cheerful.
Unaware that she had questioned him about his smile while drunk, she is puzzled by his grin. Xiao Yao informs him that the real murderer is likely about to reveal himself. At the Bodhisattva Temple, Yunyi’s sight begins to return. She tells A Li that she isn't worried about his appearance because she has already seen his kindness. Nearby, Jin Muqing arrives with his disciples, putting on a grand performance of hunting demons to find his daughter.
Xiao Yao leads the couple into a dense fog that affects the mind, causing the couple to lose sight of her. Trapped in the mist, Jin Muqing is haunted by the vengeful spirits of his victims. When his monstrous true form is finally exposed, Xiao Yao and Hong Ye prepare to strike, but Madam Jin intercedes.
She confesses that her husband’s descent into madness began out of love for her; years ago, he practiced dangerous cultivation to cure her terminal heart condition, which ultimately caused him to crave blood. To protect him and find a cure, they traveled under the guise of demon hunters, searching for the Yuli Spring. Madam Jin reveals they found Yunyi during this journey, viewing the girl's blindness as divine retribution for their sins.
A Li recognizes Madam Jin as the woman who once saved his life with a simple act of charity at a temple, an act that had inspired his own path to redemption. As the truth settles, Madam Jin decides to end the cycle of violence to preserve the Qionghua Sect’s dignity. She begs Xiao Yao to tell Yunyi that her parents died honorably while hunting demons and apologizes for her earlier suspicions.
Inside the temple, she confronts her husband, recalling their wedding vows to uphold justice. Choosing to find peace in the afterlife, Madam Jin kills her husband and then herself. When A Li arrives, he finds the woman he considered a living Buddha dead, and he is subsequently struck down by the Feiyu Guard. Bing Zhu arrives to witness the carnage.
While his subordinates and the remaining Qionghua disciples bicker over rewards and glory, Bing Zhu is sickened by their greed and quietly leaves. Yunyi finally opens her eyes to a clear world, but she is heartbroken to find that A Li is gone. Xiao Yao comforts her, explaining that he had a more important vow to fulfill. Meanwhile, Hong Ye discovers a fragment of the Kunlun Mirror, known as "Lasting Resentment," born from intense emotional attachments.
This leads Xiao Yao to reflect on how humans often ruin their current happiness by chasing impossible desires. Seeking to protect her, Hong Ye offers Xiao Yao a special jade pendant, promising to appear whenever she calls. However, Xiao Yao returns it, insisting she must learn to stand on her own feet and grow strong enough to protect her friends without always relying on him.
Back at the Demon Academy, Xiao Mu restarts lessons to ensure the minor demons can defend themselves. He teaches that humans are slaves to desires like wealth and power, but Xiao Yao argues that humans are also capable of genuine love. Unmoved, Xiao Mu punishes her with extra homework. During a practical lesson on transformation, Xiao Yao successfully transforms into Xiao Mu himself, perfectly capturing his likeness, much to her stern teacher's irritation.
