Xu Fengnian handed the red lacquer sword case to Qing Niao, which was then placed in the carriage together with the three secret books from the Qingyang Temple. On his horse, Xu Fengnian said to Yu Youwei, "You can off the horse and stay in the carriage after Que'er and Shanzha leave."

Down the Qingyang Peak, Xu Fengnian had Shanzha on Lyu Qiantang's horse and Que'er on Shu Xiu's. Leading the horses, Xu Fengnian smiled at the two misty-eyed children, "This is where we part. Remember to say goodbye for me to Old Meng, Reedy Liu and Limpy Kong. I told those immortals of the Qingyang Temple that your people could borrow from them in times of need, in my name. But don't feast every day, or I might not pay your debt. And just watch Que'er be taken hostage by them."
