As the disciples continue to argue, Lan WangJi comes downstairs to get Wei WuXian's wine, making them scurry back to their seats. In the room, Wen Ning visits Wei WuXian but is chased away as Lan WangJi returns. As Lan WangJi suggests for Wei WuXian to come to the Carp Tower the next month to look for Nie MingJue's head, Lan XiChen comes into the room too to allow Wei WuXian to come along. At the Carp Tower, as Jiang Cheng confronts Lan XiChen about his decision to bring Mo XuanYu, Jin GuangYao comes to welcome them. Inside, Wei WuXian has to be cautious as his identity is ultimately Mo XuanYu who had caused trouble in the Jin Sect. Jin GuangYao walks in with his wife, Qin Su, and officiate the three-day banquet. Later, Lan WangJi and Wei WuXian part ways for the latter to find clues. He goes to the backyard and meets Jin Ling. However, a group of disciples come up and start insulting the two. After Jin Ling defends Wei WuXian, the boys started fighting. Seeing that the other disciples outnumber Jin Ling, Wei WuXian lends a hand by teaching him a few moves. Later in Lan WangJi and Wei WuXian's room, Wei WuXian begins to use his paper man to investigate Jin GuangYao's room. There, he overhears an argument between Jin GuangYao and Qin Su. He then follows them into the treasure room, where Jin GuangYao will lock Qin Su in for the time being. Wei WuXian also discovers Nie MingJue's head and begins "Empathy".
41	"Episode 41"	Cheng Wai Man, Chen Jia Lin	Yang Xia	12 August 2019 (2019-08-12)	6 August 2019
Nie MingJue's flashbacks begin with the time Jin GuangYao is still in the Nie sect as Meng Yao. After overhearing the disciples badmouthing him, Meng Yao retreats to eat alone outside, only to be found by Nie MingJue. As the latter brings him back to meet with the rest of the group, the disciples continue their insults. This angers Nie MingJue and he subsequently appoints Jin GuangYao to be his deputy. The next flashback is when Jin GuangYao murders the general and lies about his intentions. It is revealed that the general had previously witnessed him speaking with someone in private. The next flashback is when Jin GuangYao and Nie MingJue fight in Nightless City. This time, Jin GuangYao threatens Nie MingJue about breaking his sword BaXia to anger him to death. Next, Lan XiChen teaches Jin GuangYao to play "Cleansing" on the guqin for Nie MingJue, but the latter secretly changes it a little to worsen Nie MingJue's condition instead. After Nie MingJue and Jin GuangYao argues that night, the former pushes Jin GuangYao down the long stairs. Jin GuangYao then climbs up again and the already angered Nie MingJue now enters the last stage of qi deviation. He starts hallucinating many Jin GuangYao and slashes at the air wildly. Nie HuaiSang soon arrives to try and stop him but he and Jin GuangYao can only watch as Nie MingJue dies. Lastly, in Jin GuangYao's treasure room, he locks Nie MingJue up and instructs Xue Yang to behead him. Paperman Wei WuXian wakes from the memories and swiftly avoids Jin GuangYao's attacks, also using his sword SuiBian to tackle him for a while before successfully returning. As soon as he returns to his body, he and Lan WangJi hurry out to confront Jin GuangYao. They, along with Lan XiChen, tries to enter the treasure room but is also stopped by Su She.
42	"Episode 42"	Cheng Wai Man, Chen Jia Lin	Yang Xia	12 August 2019 (2019-08-12)	6 August 2019
Jin GuangYao ultimately lets them into the treasure room and Qin Su is still inside. Wei WuXian starts by investigating her but she is unresponsive. Then, he lays eyes on a dagger and Jin GuangYao explains that it is a spiritual device previously owned by Wen RuoHan and Wen Qing. Suddenly, Qin Su grabs the dagger and stabs herself to death, leaving Jin GuangYao devastated. Not long after, Jiang Cheng and Nie HuaiSang also arrive. Lan XiChen then starts explaining about the sword spirit and Lan WangJi's discoveries which all lead to Nie MingJue. Nie HuaiSang faints at the news and Jin GuangYao continues his crying act. He then starts doubting "Mo XuanYu" and attacks him. Lan WangJi immediately protects him and a fight ensues, causing Wei WuXian to use SuiBian and revealing his own identity. The two then escape but are trapped by the surrounding disciples outside. Wei WuXian tells Lan WangJi to act as if he is also tricked, but Lan WangJi wishes to walk down this path with him. The two then counters the disciples and runs away. But Jin Ling stabs Wei WuXian before they manage to escape. On the way, Lan WangJi passes spiritual energy to Wei WuXian and the latter thinks about how Lan WangJi is the only person who stands by him. Wei WuXian then wakes up in the Quiet Room at the Cloud Recesses. He and Lan WangJi speculates that Mo XuanYu might have been kicked out because he found out the truth. Then, Wei WuXian wonders if his sword is really sealed and Lan WangJi tries pulling it out to prove his point. Lan XiChen also enters the room to discuss about the matter at hand. However, while Lan WangJi trusts Wei WuXian, Lan XiChen also trusts Jin GuangYao. Thus Wei WuXian plays Jin GuangYao's "Cleansing" as evidence. The Twin Jades realises that a part is wrong, so Lan XiChen brings them into the Forbidden Room to look for a music sheet used for harm. At the end, Wei WuXian then theorises if it is possible that Jin GuangYao used this harmful music like a slow poison to worsen Nie MingJue's condition.
43	"Episode 43"	Cheng Wai Man, Chen Jia Lin	Yang Xia	13 August 2019 (2019-08-13)	7 August 2019
Wei WuXian continues to speculate about Jin GuangYao's schemes but Lan XiChen still finds it hard to believe. After, Lan WangJi goes to see Lan QiRen so Lan XiChen brings Wei WuXian back to the Quiet Room. There, the latter asks about Lan WangJi's scars and Lan XiChen explains. When Wei WuXian died that year, Lan WangJi disobeyed the Lan Sect in order to protect Wei WuXian's cave. As a result, he received severe punishment and went into seclusion for those three years. Lan XiChen then tells him the story of their parents and Lan WangJi's stubbornness towards the people he care about. Lan WangJi then returns with Emperor's Smile and lets Wei WuXian enjoy wine in the room. At the table, they start to discuss about a second flute sound that was heard during both battles at QiongQi Way and Nightless City. While Lan WangJi determines that it is Jin GuangYao's doing, Wei WuXian is now indifferent to that truth. Unknown days later, Lan WangJi and Wei WuXian hide in Lan XiChen's room to eavesdrop on Jin GuangYao who has came over to discuss things with Lan XiChen. He first proposes to allow the search for Wei WuXian and Lan WangJi in the Cloud Recesses. He also explains that there is a sudden rise of puppets in the Burial Mounds and suspects that Wei WuXian is causing it. Hence, he invites Lan XiChen to attend the meeting at the Carp Tower. After Lan XiChen sends Jin GuangYao off, he instructs Lan WangJi and Wei WuXian to check things out in the Burial Mound. Thus the two begin their journey. On the way, Wei WuXian plays some songs on his flute and asks Lan WangJi for the name of the piece that he had played for him back in XuanWu Cave. However, Lan WangJi avoids that question and looks for water. The two find a house and search for water, but the family of the house returns and the two immediately hide.
44	"Episode 44"	Cheng Wai Man, Chen Jia Lin	Yang Xia	13 August 2019 (2019-08-13)	7 August 2019
The family turns out to be MianMian's. Her, Wei WuXian and Lan WangJi have a short talk before trouble arises elsewhere. The pair rushes to see but it turns out to be Wen Ning who has been following them all these while. The three then continue their journey into YiLing. In town, Wei WuXian reminisces about the time when he, Lan WangJi and A-Yuan had a meal together. Finally, they arrive in the Burial Mound but everything had been destroyed. However, there is no time for remembrance as puppets start to attack from their hiding spots. After they defeat them, Lan WangJi hands SuiBian to Wei WuXian to defend himself but the latter is not using it. Wei WuXian then lies that his new body is weak. Inside the cave, the disciples are tied up and trapped. After Jin Chan badmouths Wei WuXian and angers Jin Ling, the two begin to fight and Wei WuXian has to step in to stop them. To prove that he and Lan WangJi have no malicious intent, he lets Wen Ning use his sword to set them free from the ropes. However, as they are leaving the cave, the other sects swiftly gather outside to claim back their disciples and stand against Wei WuXian. Lan WangJi disobeys Lan QiRen and continues to be by Wei WuXian's side. The sect leaders, especially Su She and Sect Leader Yao, continuously blame Wei WuXian for the puppets and his past alleged deeds. Suddenly, a second wave of puppets arrive and everyone fights. But the adults' spiritual energy begin to diminish and are unable to hold out against the puppets. Everyone retreat into the cave but are still wary of Wei WuXian. The latter then begins to question Su She.
45	"Episode 45"	Cheng Wai Man, Chen Jia Lin	Yang Xia	14 August 2019 (2019-08-14)	7 August 2019
Wei WuXian continues to expose Su She and the latter has no way to counter that. Defeated, he uses the teleportation talisman, revealing his identity as the masked man from Yi City. The puppets start to break into the cave and Wen Ning, Lan SiZhui and Jin Ling go out to fight them. Wei WuXian then uses himself to lure the puppets to him and allow the others to escape. With Lan WangJi at his side to slash the puppets coming their way, the two and Wen Ning manage to kill all the puppets. While waiting for the boats to set off to YunMeng, the junior disciples stay on the pier for Lan SiZhui to rest from being motion-sick. OuYang ZiZhen comes over, curious about why a GuSu-born Lan SiZhui will fall victim to boats; but Lan SiZhui does not know either. Suddenly, Wen Ning comes up to Lan SiZhui to ask for his name and upbringing as he is reminded of Wen Yuan. Despite OuYang ZiZhen's concern for Lan SiZhui, the latter answers earnestly. Lan SiZhui is also left conflicted when he faintly remembers paper toy butterflies from his childhood. However, as Wen Ning wants to caress Lan SiZhui's face, Jin Ling unsheathes his sword at him. A small fight breaks out between the disciples, catching the attention of everyone. Jin Ling is told to put away his sword but he refuses and cries as the sword once belonged to his father. The fight is then resolved when their guardians call them back. At the entrance of Lotus Pier, Wen Ning is denied entry and Lan SiZhui opts to keep him company. Inside, Jiang Cheng receives two ladies who wishes to speak with him. He then brings them into the main hall so they can share their stories with everyone present. The first lady, Si Si, shares about how Jin GuangYao hired a group of prostitutes to provide their services to Jin GuangShan, resulting in his death. The second lady, Bi Cao, shares that Jin GuangYao and Qin Su are actually siblings, and are married despite Qin Su's great disapproval.
46	"Episode 46"	Cheng Wai Man, Chen Jia Lin	Yang Xia	14 August 2019 (2019-08-14)	7 August 2019
It is also revealed that the letter that Qin Su received is from Bi Cao. And as Jin GuangYao's deeds are now out in the open, everyone's mindset immediately changed. Under Sect Leader Yao's lead, the people in the room chants for his death. They also asked Wei WuXian to settle the Stygian Tiger Seal and praise his skills. But Wei WuXian and Lan WangJi just leave the hall. While walking, they discuss about who might be the person helping them behind-the-scenes. Wei WuXian then catches sight of the Jiang Sect's altar and the two enters to pay their respects. However, Jiang Cheng finds them and starts insulting him and Lan WangJi. Wei WuXian gets agitated and leaves with Lan WangJi, but Jiang Cheng is unwilling to let go. He chases after them and initiates another fight. However, blood trickles from Wei WuXian's nose and he grows weaker. Lan WangJi tries to bring him away again but Jiang Cheng attacks. With the clash of the two spiritual weapons, Wei WuXian passes out and Wen Ning suddenly appears to block Jiang Cheng's oncoming attack. He repeatedly tries to get Jiang Cheng to pull out SuiBian from its scabbard despite the latter whipping him. Jiang Cheng finally stops and pulls the sword out; now utterly shocked to know that he is able to do so despite the seal. Wen Ning then explains that golden core inside him is Wei WuXian's and was transferred by Wen Qing on that mountain years ago. Knowing this, Lan WangJi sheds a tear and angrily brings Wei WuXian away. Wen Ning then gives Jiang Cheng the sword for him to test if this is true. Wei WuXian lies against Lan WangJi on the boat and Wen Ning wishes for this to not reach Wei WuXian's ears. Lan WangJi promises and Wen Ning thanks him for previously standing up for him and taking care of Wen Yuan. When Wei WuXian finally wakes up, he tells Lan WangJi not to take Jiang Cheng's words to heart. They also enjoy some fresh lotus seeds. Later, a Jin Sect messenger butterfly shows up and news of Jin GuangYao in YunMeng reaches them. Wei WuXian recalls seeing a blueprint of a city called Yun Ping Cheng and three continue their search for the truth.
47	"Episode 47"	Cheng Wai Man, Chen Jia Lin	Yang Xia	19 August 2019 (2019-08-19)	7 August 2019
Lan WangJi and Wei WuXian discover a temple with something hidden underneath. The two then decide to investigate at night when no one will be around. At night. they and Wen Ning go to the temple but the front door is sealed. Wei WuXian then instructs Wen Ning to keep watch outside while he and Lan WangJi tries to enter from the back. However, Wen Ning discovers ominous black clouds from afar and rushes to look. Subsequently, Jin Ling is chasing after Fairy. Lan WangJi and Wei WuXian climbs onto the roof and finds Lan XiChen among the Jin Sect disciples inside. Fairy leads Jin Ling to the entrance and the latter knocks on the door out of curiosity. However, the disciples point their arrows at his direction despite his status. Seeing that no one is opening the door, Jin Ling retorts to climbing over the roof but the disciples start firing at him. Wei WuXian protects him and engages in a fight alongside Lan WangJi. Jin GuangYao appears and catches Wei WuXian hostage with a string wrapped tightly around the latter's neck. Jin Ling also gets caught and brought in while Fairy has escaped. Jin GuangYao then threatens Lan WangJi to keep his sword and block out his spiritual core. Suddenly, it starts to rain heavily and they are brought into the temple. Su She then appears with an unconscious Nie HuaiSang who passed out from fright after Su She tries to capture him. Wei WuXian and Su She then quarrels again and Su She tries to attack him in anger. Lan WangJi protects him and Wei WuXian continues to irritate Su She. Suddenly, Jiang Cheng arrives to the temple and Jin GuangYao attacks him. But Jin GuangYao takes advantage of his smooth-talking skills to stress Jiang Cheng about him and Wei WuXian. As a result, Jiang Cheng suffers injuries and the fight ends when the disciples finally finds what they are digging for. Wei WuXian then asks Lan WangJi about what happened the other night and the latter explains that Wen Ning had told Jiang Cheng about the golden core.
48	"Episode 48"	Cheng Wai Man, Chen Jia Lin	Yang Xia	19 August 2019 (2019-08-19)	7 August 2019
Heartbroken Jiang Cheng confronts Wei WuXian about his inferiority to him. He blames Wei WuXian for all the deaths and for going against his promise. Jiang Cheng then breaks down crying and Wei WuXian apologises. Jiang Cheng also does the same and the two finally reconcile after such a long time, putting the past behind them. Nie HuaiSang wakes up and something terrible happens at the digging site. Jin GuangYao and Su She come out with injuries and tries to stop the poison from manifesting. They then return and the rest follows to discover a coffin. Inside the coffin is the body of Nie MingJue. Lan XiChen gets wary of Jin GuangYao's motive and Wei WuXian teases the latter that the real culprit behind this might not be a person. When Su She is attending to his own wounds, they discover that he has the curse of the one thousand boils and a hundred holes, and the real truth behind Jin ZiXun's death is finally revealed. All of Jin GuangYao's deeds are just for him to climb higher and higher up the social ladder and Su She also blames all of them for making him feel inferior. Wei WuXian then laughs about how he did all these bad things just because of this reason. Jin GuangYao belittles Wei WuXian and Jiang Cheng calls him the son of a prostitute. This causes Jin GuangYao to flare up and blame Jiang Cheng for contributing to the hate on Wei WuXian. When he and Su She are about to leave, Wei WuXian asks about how Nie MingJue died and scares him with the thought of Nie MingJue haunting him. He then whistles to control the Stygian Tiger Seal and gives Jin GuangYao hallucinations of the people he once killed. Lan XiChen regains his spiritual power and holds his blade close to Jin GuangYao's neck. Wei WuXian then exposes how Jin GuangYao has worked with Xue Yang to use the Stygian Tiger Seal. When Lan XiChen expresses how he can no longer trust him, Jin GuangYao kneels and asks for his forgiveness.
49	"Episode 49"	Cheng Wai Man, Chen Jia Lin	Yang Xia	20 August 2019 (2019-08-20)	7 August 2019
Jin GuangYao begs for Lan XiChen's forgiveness but Lan XiChen refuses. Jin GuangYao then explains that he received a threat letter that vows to expose his schemes and kill him if he does not own up. But Lan XiChen does not allow this as an excuse. He then asks Jin GuangYao a series of questions, the first being why Jin GuangYao married Qin Su even though they are siblings. Jin GuangYao explains that he did not have a choice as he loved her. When he also explains why he killed Jin GuangShan, Lan XiChen slaps him. He then asks if Jin ZiXuan's death is also his doing. Jin GuangYao admits that he and Su She played music on that day to manipulate Wen Ning to kill Jin ZiXuan. Jin Ling breaks down at that but Jin GuangYao blames it all on how Jin GuangShan has treated him before. He continues to share how his own father would disregard him every time but it is all too late for Jin GuangYao to redeem himself. Jin GuangYao then holds Jin Ling hostage like he did to Wei WuXian. Suddenly, Lan SiZhui gets kicked into the temple while trying to stop Wen Ning. Wen Ning approaches them with Nie MingJue's sword BaXia in hand and tries to kill Jin GuangYao. As Jin GuangYao dodges, Lan WangJi slices off his left arm. Wen Ning continues to come at him and Lan WangJi and Lan XiChen plays their instruments to stop Wen Ning. The sword then aims for Jin Ling who has Jin GuangYao's blood on his clothes and Wen Ning tries his hardest to stop the sword. While Jin Ling and Jiang Cheng escape, Jiang Cheng hands Wei WuXian his flute Chen Qing. Wei WuXian then uses the Stygian Tiger Seal to control BaXia and lead it into Nie MingJue's coffin. However, as Wei WuXian is about to seal the sword inside, Nie HuaiSang screams and everyone goes out to see. Nie HuaiSang's leg is bleeding and he cries out that Su She attacked him. BaXia suddenly comes straight at Su She and stabs him to death. Wei WuXian then controls BaXia again and successfully locks up both the sword and Stygian Tiger Seal with Nie MingJue's corpse. Later, Lan XiChen attends to Nie HuaiSang's wounds and moves on to Jin GuangYao. When Lan XiChen asks for the medicine from Nie HuaiSang, the latter hides it and warns Lan XiChen about Jin GuangYao when he has his back turned. Lan XiChen immediately turns around and stabs Jin GuangYao. When the others ask what happened, Nie HuaiSang explains that he saw Jin GuangYao reaching behind his back.
50	"Episode 50"	Cheng Wai Man, Chen Jia Lin	Yang Xia	20 August 2019 (2019-08-20)	7 August 2019
Jin GuangYao is in disbelief that Nie HuaiSang has been hiding and plotting his schemes for all these years. However, Nie HuaiSang continues to deny. Jin GuangYao then pushes the sword deeper into himself and cries that he has never once wanted to harm Lan XiChen. Jin GuangYao then suddenly grabs him towards the coffin and let his blood spill onto the Stygian Tiger Seal. This triggers the temple to fall apart and the others hurry to escape. Jin GuangYao then pushes Lan XiChen away and Lan WangJi brings him outside as he watches the debris falling around Jin GuangYao. Outside, everyone watches as the temple finally fell apart. Lan XiChen and Nie HuaiSang sit right outside the entrance as Lan XiChen feels depressed about Jin GuangYao and also doubts Nie HuaiSang. On the other hand, the last mark on Wei WuXian's arm from Mo XuanYu's ritual has disappeared, indicating that Wei WuXian has finally avenged him. The other disciples and Lan QiRen finally arrive to aid them. When Jin Ling returns from taking Fairy out, Wei WuXian is nowhere to be found. After asking Lan JingYi, Jin Ling goes to look for him but Jiang Cheng stops him. Jiang Cheng then begins to leave but Jin Ling knows that he has something to tell Wei WuXian too. This leads Jiang Cheng to recall the time when Wei WuXian was on the brink of being captured by the Wen Sect. It turns out that Jiang Cheng ended up in their hands because he acted as a lure to distract them. Wei WuXian and Lan WangJi are out in the forest, and Wen Ning and Lan SiZhui catch up with them. Lan SiZhui then begins to recite his childhood memories to prove to Wei WuXian that he is Wen Yuan. The two finally reunites after so many years; Lan SiZhui breaks into tears and hugs him. Later, Wen Ning tells Wei WuXian that he and Lan SiZhui will visit QiShan. When Wei WuXian offers to come along, Wen Ning refuses and wants to walk his own path and make his own decision from now on. The four then part ways and Wei WuXian starts to wonder where they shall go next. But Lan WangJi does not move. After, they meet Nie HuaiSang outside the Cloud Recesses and Wei WuXian indirectly tells him not to associate himself with evil people. When Nie HuaiSang leaves, Lan WangJi asks Wei WuXian why he did not ask him about the truth. But that is of no use anymore. On the mountains, the two part ways. When Wei WuXian is playing on his flute, he hears Lan WangJi calling his name at the end of the song. He then slowly turns around and smiles.
