At this point, Xiao Bai is already certain of Chun Hua’s identity as Hua Xiao Lei but he is also aware that there are many suspicious points about her and despite his dismissal of Cai Cai’s accusations, he had taken them into account. He is well aware of the possibility that she could have relations to the evil sects, although what he had assumed was that the innocent and naive Chun Hua was being manipulated by the evil sects. Concerned for Chun Hua’s safety and worried that exposing her identity as Hua Xiao Lei might bring her trouble from the evil sects, Xiao Bai decided to investigate further into what had happened to Hua Xiao Lei. As usual, he consulted his confidant Liu Feng, who came up with the idea of visiting the Hua family under the guise of the Mid-Autumn festivities. The Hua family lived near to the location of the festivities so they would be able to visit the Hua family inconspicuously without anyone raising questions about why Xiao Bai would suddenly travel so far to visit the family of his dead fiancee.
The day soon arrive and the five set off together once more. Upon their arrival at an inn, the innkeeper informed them that there were only two rooms left and that the other inns would be the same due to the festivities. Hearing this, Liu Feng glanced over at Leng Ning with excitement as he asked her how they should split the rooms, to which she replied that Xiao Bai and him would take one room and the three girls would take the other, much to his dismay.

Soon, night fell and the festivities began. Xiao Bai and Liu Feng headed for the Hua family together under the guise of viewing the coloured lanterns while the three girls waited in their room for the two to return. The trio sat around a table, silently and awkwardly staring at one another. Unable to take it any further, Chun Hua made her escape saying that she would go out to buy some mooncakes for them.
At the Hua family manor, Xiao Bai reveals to Lord Hua that his daughter Hua Xiao Lei was still alive, sharing his suspicions that she could’ve been manipulated by the evil sects. Hearing this, Lord Hua immediately flared up and told them to leave.
