Zantai Qingqing had been investigating her parents' disappearance for years. She had previously been framed by Wen Rui and, after many twists and turns, was rescued from the Beauty Scroll by Li Dai. Although she wanted revenge, she knew that with her ruined body and disfigured face, it was impossible to achieve. Thus, after Li Dai entered the secret realm, Zantai Qingqing snuck into Dangu Peak—the place where her parents once lived—only to find the place abandoned. Her parents had not been in the sect for many years.
After much inquiry, she learned that over two hundred years ago, her parents had been devastated by her disappearance and gradually fell ill. Later, their status as alchemists in the sect was replaced by Old Man Wanyao and Granny Yao.
She knew of Old Man Wanyao; he was her mother’s Senior Brother, and his alchemy skills were only slightly inferior to her mother's. It was no surprise he had risen to prominence after her mother vanished.
