Xuanji's father asks her if she is willing to leave the mountain and become a disciple of her uncle to practice her magic, and she happily accepts. Linglong asks Xuanji if she has been in contact with Sifeng through the bell, and to her surprise, Xuanji answers with a no, but says they will definitely meet at the next Hairpin Contest four years later. Later, Xuanji, Linglong and Minyan bid farewell to their family and friends, and fly down the mountain on their swords. On their way, they encounter three villagers talking about a monster attack.
