Episode 21 recap: Ye Xiaosheng captured Lin Mengchen.
Lin Mengchen arranged for someone to retrieve Cao Fang's body. When the Blood Sacrifice Hall's master received this news, he concluded that Lin Mengchen had an extraordinary relationship with Cao Fang. He sent Ye Xiaosheng to accompany the corpse retriever and capture Lin Mengchen. As Lin Mengchen followed the corpse retriever further into a secluded area, she became suspicious. When she saw Ye Xiaosheng make a move to capture her, she immediately drew out a dagger intending to kill him. However, Ye Xiaosheng was prepared and swiftly struck her with a palm strike, causing Lin Mengchen to lose consciousness.
When Lin Mengchen woke up, she found herself imprisoned in the Blood Sacrifice Hall. Ye Xiaosheng wanted the opportunity to interrogate her, but the hall's master refused. Ye Xiaosheng could only blame Lin Mengchen for deceiving him, claiming that she had lied about fighting alongside him and getting married, only to hurt him. Lin Mengchen stated that she had never loved Ye Xiaosheng, which angered him, and he silenced her by covering her lips with his mouth. The hall's master witnessed this scene and deemed Ye Xiaosheng to be a passionate fool, advising him not to get entangled in emotions.
Dr. Ge prepared a bowl of Burning Heart Powder for Lin Mengchen. After consuming it, Lin Mengchen murmured, "He is my brother, and I am Mengchen." Ye Xiaosheng became extremely nervous, ready to take action at any moment. Fortunately, Lin Mengchen did not reveal any crucial information and fell into a deep sleep. Ye Xiaosheng discreetly put away the dagger. The hall's master considered Ye Xiaosheng to be his most trusted disciple and disclosed the secret of the Lin family's hidden treasure chamber. The pair of jade pendants from the Lin family served as the key to unlocking the treasure. The hall's master promised that if Ye Xiaosheng obtained the treasure, he would be rewarded with immense wealth and prosperity.
