## Story

Wu Xie and the others rest when suddenly Lang Feng gets up. Despite being suspicious of him and him taking his phone with him, Chen Pi Ah Si lets him leave and orders him to guard the entrance while he is at it.

Having been able to think about things, Wu Xie goes to discuss matters with Zhang Qiling and Wang Pangzi. He is suspicious of Chen Pi Ah Si, as he remembers Kua Xiong's reaction to seeing Zhang Qiling, him looking almost identical to the old village head. Despite the old village head having been the reason Chen Pi Ah Si is supposed to be blind, Chen Pi Ah Si had no reaction when seeing Zhang Qiling. Wang Pangzi ridiculously reasons Chen Pi Ah Si might have dementia due to his age but all three acknowledge this to be impossible. Secretly, Chen Pi Ah Si notices their whispers.

When continuing their travels, they decide to ration their food. Walking on, they find the mountain from the Paracel Underwater Tomb mural.

Xie Yuchen decides to investigate the Huo family and find out if they have secret deals with Hendry Cox. Huo Xiuxiu goes to receive the shipments promised to her clan and becomes suspicious of the amount of packages. She returns to her grandmother and shows her shock at the amount of relics being shipped away. Huo Xiangu reveals it has long been part of their business as well and that they will benefit from it. Despite Huo Xiuxiu's objections, Huo Xiangu refuses to give up on the business and Huo Xiuxiu wonders what Hendry Cox promised her in return. Huo Xiangu threatens to make her leave the family if she does not finish the transaction. Huo Xiuxiu decides to get Xie Yuchen's help.

The mountain team finds the three headed dragon mountains, three mountains connected to each other and after revealing his knowledge on the mountain and tomb rites, Chen Pi Ah Si praises Wu Xie and they move forward. Ning and Jason's team follows them through the tracking devices. When taking a rest that night, Wu Xie comes to talk with him and tries to find out more about the Heavenly Palace and Snake Brow Copper Fish. He asks how Chen Pi Ah Si got the artifact, trying to find out why he did not react to Zhang Qiling, but Chen Pi Ah Si refuses to reveal too much information. Wu Xie talks with Zhang Qiling and voices his doubts about Chen Pi Ah Si's statements, him seemingly trying to avoid the questions as if he did not know the details either. Zhang Qiling reasons they might find out more once they reach the Heavenly Palace.

Not being able to sleep, Wu Xie joins Shun Zi on guard duty and finds out Shun Zi himself has never let anyone this far into the mountains and no one else would dare take them this far onto the mountain during this time of the year. Shun Zi reveals he wants to know more about their goal, as they remind him of the group of people his father led up the mountain, hoping to find out what happened to his father all those years ago.

While the mountain team continues going up higher, Huo Xiuxiu handles the package delivery for her family. At a traffic junction they are stopped by a truck and their security team is switched, leading them to the wrong end destination and taking their cargo. Huo Xiuxiu returns to her grandmother who reacts enraged and faults her to bring outsiders to deal with family business. Huo Xiuxiu claims she does not want the family to be Hendry Cox' lackey but gets slapped and send away by her grandmother.

The mountaineers take a rest in the snow when Zhang Qiling suddenly starts bowing to the mountain. The rest of the team lament over where to find the actual Heavenly Palace after listening to local legends from Shun Zi. They continue hiking higher up the mountain.
