A ceremony is held at Sangbo Lake. As Xu Qi An is guarding over the area, the Jade Mirror suddenly emits a sound.

Huai Qing tells Xu Qi An the story of Princess Ping Yang, who has fled her arranged marriage and run away from home. Meanwhile, Lin An is frustrated over how Xu Qi An has chosen to serve Huai Qing instead.

Xu Qi An reports to Wei Yuan that the clues he discovers are pointing towards Qinglong Hall. Tiandi Society's No. 6, Heng Yuan is also missing.

Yang Qian Huan teams up with four Gold Guardians to fend off Heng Hui. Heng Hui is devoured by the demonic arm. He escapes after receiving a devastating blow. Yang Qian Huan knows that Xu Qi An, the main investigator of the case, is quite capable. He thinks of him as a formidable foe.

Xu Qi An encourages Lin An to pursue her freedom, and it motivates her.
