## Story

Wu Xie reveals to his friend how he found an image of the Dragon Vein by connecting the locations they found the Snake Brow Copper Fish artifacts at. When following the vein to its head they land at the Changbai mountains, leading them to think the Heavenly Palace is there. Before being able to talk further, they are interrupted by a man in black clothes. Not knowing it is Chen Pi Ah Si, they free one of the cabin beds to let the man sleep.

Wu Xie thinks about his conversation with Ning and after Wang Pangzi annoys him and the unknown man with his online games, Wu Xie excuses himself to the bathroom. Chen Pi Ah Si follows him. With them gone, Wang Pangzi takes out the same device as Wu Xie got from Ning and calls Hendry Cox. Wang Pangzi takes photos of Wu Xie's findings and the Silk manuscripts and sends them to Hendry Cox.

Jason gets impatient but Hendry Cox warns him of the dangers in the Heavenly Palace and what Wang Zanghai might have installed in the palace.

Wu Xie contacts Ning and gets a warning from her that police checkpoints, contracted by Jason, are searching for them. Trying to escape Wu Xie hides in the train bathroom with an unknown man and manages to calm him. He returns to Wang Pangzi and warns him of their followers. Wang Pangzi realizes they received the same communication device from Ning and Hendry Cox but pretends to not know in front of Wu Xie. It is revealed Wang Pangzi agreed to work for Hendry Cox, having been set up by the man in a bad antique deal and at risk of losing his shop. Wang Pangzi clearly feels bad about having to betray his friend like this.

While celebrating at a club, Jason gets an aggravating call and spills alcohol on another guest. Jason and his men are knocked out by the man and it turns out to be one of Xie Yuchen's clan. Threatening Jason with snitching on him to his boss, as well as the police, he offers him a deal. Xie Yuchen tells him to follow Wu Xie and the others and reveals their location to him, under the condition he makes it hard for the people who stole his Snake Brow Copper Fish. Jason agrees to the deal, not having any other choice.

At the same time, Hendry Cox is suffering from headaches and is taken care of by Ning. Knowing Jason might be up to something, Hendry Cox sends Ning after Wu Xie.

Wu Xie wakes up from a nap and encounters the police looking for him and Wang Pangzi on the train. He wakes Wang Pangzi and they are taken to a hiding spot by Chen Pi Ah Si. After escaping the inspection they converse with Chen Pi Ah Si but do not receive answer instead being asked where they are going. After Wu Xie immediately reveals they are going to the Changbai mountains, Wang Pangzi stops him from telling the stranger more and pretends they are going there for a tour. Chen Pi Ah Si lies back down without giving them an answer to their question.

When finally arriving at their destination, Chen Pi Ah Si accompanies them, stating he is on the way to the same place. On their way, Chen Pi Ah Si shows them how he knew which driver would be able to take them to their destination, but when Wang Pangzi asks again who he is, he does not receive and answer. Jason arrives in the Changbai mountains as well but his men lost Wu Xie on the mountain road. After receiving a call from Xie Yuchen, they make their way to Changbai Hostel.

After arriving at their wanted destination, Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi encounter Uncle Hai in their accommodation. While talking to Uncle Hai, he tells them that they traveled with Chen Pi Ah Si, shocking them. When walking to their room they are surprised when Chen Pi Ah Si suddenly opens his door and it is revealed Chen Pi Ah Si is not actually blind as they presumed.

Ning and Hendry Cox' men also make their way to the group by pretending to be testing the environment for a future ski resort and Uncle Hai welcomes them with open arms.

Wu Xie is delighted when he meets Pan Zi at the hostel. Pan Zi reveals to them that Uncle Hai is the one organizing this exploration in the name of Hendry Cox. When taking a walk through the snow, Wang Pangzi and Wu Xie think about the strange organization of this trip as well as why Uncle Hai did not tell them he was the one organizing it. Not finding any answers, they have a snowball fight. Suddenly Wu Xie missteps and slides down the hill towards a cliff with Wang Pangzi trying to stop his fall.
