• Dugu Bo thanked Mo Lin for curing his toxin backlash, allowed him to stay in the secret realm for two months, and left to visit his family.

Mo Lin learned from his parents’ records that the Mo Family had secluded itself on an island and that his father had been hunted because of his inherited martial soul, Non-Aggression. After finding a soul bone, Mo Lin met Tang San and Xiao Wu in the sea of flowers, where he accidentally interrupted their conversation and argued with Xiao Wu.

• Mo Lin rested in the sea of flowers while Tang San asked Xiao Wu to be his little sister.
• Mo Lin accidentally made a noise while waking, and Xiao Wu accused him of ruining her moment with Tang San, leading to an argument that Tang San clarified was about becoming Xiao Wu’s older brother.

• Mo Lin entered the Aken Mountains under the cover of a Spirit Hall soldier doll and headed for the cave of the five-thousand-year-old Soul Shadow Flying Dragon.
