Episode 2

Mu Xuanling confessed to Yuying that it was her master Sang Qi who asked her to let Xie Xuechen go, in order to let her track Xie Xuechen to find the whereabouts of the Xianmeng Jade Order.Yuying couldn't figure out why the master sent them to hunt down Xie Xuechen if he had this intention.Mu Xuanling explained that only in this way will Xie Xuechen be more convinced.She asked Yuying to restrain Xie Xuechen first, and then rescue her at the critical moment, so that Xie Xuechen would be grateful to her and get closer to her.Mu Xuanling curiously asked Yuying if she could have a glimpse into Xie Xuechen's inner demons.Yuying released Xie Xuechen's inner demon. Mu Xuanling saw Xie Xuechen looking for a rabbit in the snow. His father appeared and told him that he had killed the rabbit and asked him to stop looking.Xie Xuechen was puzzled, and his father explained that he shouldered a heavy responsibility and could not have any preferences.If one day, he needs to choose between the world and the things he loves, how will he choose?Xie Xuechen asked why he had to choose one of the two, and his father replied that his responsibilities did not allow him to have a preference.Yuying was surprised that Xie Xuechen's illusion was different. Mu Xuanling explained that he had been trained by his father since he was a child, and he was the best in the world and had no desire for fame.

Mu Xuanling asked Yuying again if he could take a look at Xie Xuechen's memories from ten years ago.Yuying told her that she could only see the desires in her heart, not the memories.Mu Xuanling felt that Yuying was of no use to her, so she killed him.However, Yuying's shadow has not dissipated, and everyone is wondering whether Yuying was killed by Mu Xuanling or Xie Xuechen.Mu Xuanling saw Xie Xuechen about to leave and asked where he was going.Xie Xuechen told her not to follow him, saying that he was from the human race and Mu Xuanling was from the demon race, and they were not from the same group.Mu Xuanling thinks that different paths lead to the same goal. She has phantom hairpins. If she wears a pair of phantom hairpins, others will not remember them and will only treat them as ordinary people.Mu Xuanling forcibly put a hairpin on Xie Xuechen and asked him to put it on herself, but Xie Xuechen ignored her and left alone.Mu Xuanling followed closely behind, and the two came to the inn. There was only one room left, and Mu Xuanling took it without hesitation.The people in the Jinghua Palace nearby saw Xie Xuechen's reluctance and started talking a lot. Mu Xuanling even deliberately teased Xie Xuechen for his extraordinary qualities.Soon, a demonic aura hit them, and they saw Gao Qiumin, the Young Palace Master of Jinghua Palace, and Cui Wanwan, a student, coming with Abao, the sniffing mouse.Mu Xuanling recognized that A Bao was from the spirit race like her, and that his life was in danger because of fear, so he took action to save A Bao.At night, Abao quietly came to Mu Xuanling and told her that she was the daughter of Fu Cangli of Bixiao Palace. Mu Xuanling sympathized with her plight and decided to help her.However, Gao Qiumin discovered something unusual, and together with Cui Wanwan, they hunted down Mu Xuanling and Xie Xuechen.Mu Xuanling recognized Gao Qiumin as the person who had bullied her, and wanted to kill him, but was stopped by Xie Xuechen. The two argued, and Mu Xuanling was trapped in the exquisite shackles by Xie Xuechen.
