Qiu Yue replied that he had no use for her, he had previously asked her to steal the Xin Fa because he had mistaken her for Hua Xiao Lei. Later, Xiao Bai had learned the Feng Ming Sword’s last move so he had no use for the Xin Fa anymore. Now, he just wanted to protect her, telling her that Xiao Bai was after her life and that she’ll die if he let her go. Chun Hua was resolute, saying that she trusted Xiao Bai – I want true love, Xiao Bai is the person I set my mind on at first glance. Frustrated, Qiu Yue told her that there were many roads in life, why does she insist on taking the wrong one? Chun Hua removes her Ice Silkworm Pearl bracelet and holds it out to him, pleading for him to give her a way out. Qiu Yue focuses on the bracelet instead, reminding her about how she had always called on him, always relied on him. Chun Hua thanked him for protecting her thus far but insisted that she wasn’t a child anymore and would have to walk her own path. Qiu Yue caressed her face with a sad smile, commenting that she was all grown up and with a wave of his hand, he broke the Ice Silkworm Thread and instructed Ye Xing Zhu to send her off. With tears in her eyes, Chun Hua carefully placed the bracelet on the table before leaving.
( When Qiu Yue finally agreed to let her return to Feng Ming Manor )
Ye Xing Zhu reports back to Qiu Yue after sending Chun Hua off. Qiu Yue then inquired about You Si’s condition and after hearing that she was in a critical condition, instructed Ye Xing Zhu to spread the news of You Si’s existence and of her importance to Fu Lou.
Chun Hua arrives back at Feng Ming Manor and upon receiving this news, Xiao Bai went to her room to see her. Initially, Chun Hua had a cold attitude towards him because she was still under the impression that he wanted to kill her. It didn’t help that Xiao Bai’s first question was to ask if what Qiu Yue had said (about the affair) was true. Chun Hua angrily admits to everything and when she saw his grip tighten around his sword, she mockingly asked if he was going to kill her – he had sent a spy to kill her after all. Xiao Bai was confused at this, telling her that he had been very worried, pouring out everything he had withheld – asking whether Qiu Yue had threatened her and confirming that Qiu Yue didn’t get the Xin Fa even though he had given it to her. After that, he apologised for not realising sooner that she was being threatened.
Meanwhile, Cai Cai and Leng Ning play a string game while discussing Chun Hua’s return. Leng Ning’s view was that Chun Hua must be connected to Qiu Yue and that her return must be one of his schemes, bringing up the time where Cai Cai had been poisoned and after Chun Hua came back with the antidote, it was suddenly everywhere. Cai Cai insisted that whatever the case, Chun Hua had saved her afterall. She tells Leng Ning to leave all matters regarding Chun Hua for Xiao Bai to decide.
Liu Feng waits anxiously in the main hall for Xiao Bai to finish his chat with Chun Hua. Xiao Bai soon returns and in the following discussion, he tells Liu Feng that Chun Hua didn’t betray Feng Ming Manor, adding that he didn’t think that Chun Hua had an affair with Qiu Yue. The Pu Gong Ying poison was brought up again and Xiao Bai comments that if the antidote really came from Qian Yue Cave and was made from the Longevity Fruit’s leaves, Qiu Yue must be interested in the Longevity Fruit too. Xiao Bai then tells Liu Feng about Ling Yang’s assassination attempt and Liu Feng deduced that since Ling Yang only took orders from Chief Leng, he must have defied Chief Leng’s orders and acted of his own accord.
