• Xiao Xie left the Ruoshui Riverbank and went to Eastern Wasteland Junji Mountain, where he found Bai Qian living as a mortal with her memories sealed.
• Xiao Xie reasoned that Bai Qian had instinctively returned to the mountain she considered home and that, without the Golden Lion Beast there, she might have met another man instead of Ye Hua.
• Xiao Xie explained that Bai Qian and Ye Hua's meeting was inevitable because Bai Qian had cared for Ye Hua when he was a golden lotus, creating karma between them.
• Xiao Xie recalled how Zhun Ti and the Guiding Taoist had let Hong Yun die rather than repay the karmic debt they owed him.
• Xiao Xie judged Zhun Ti and the Guiding Taoist to be greater threats than Hongmeng because they could secretly seal space and prevent him from using a World Travel Ticket.

As they prepared to return to Junji Mountain, Yan Zhi stopped them to ask about the fan and her old friend Si Yin, then left disappointed when Bai Qian could not help her.
