Zichuan Canxing prepared a banquet to entertain Di Lin and Luo Minghai separately, hoping to let the two of them reconcile and let go of past grudges. However, this kind of hatred was already rooted in Luo Minghai's bones and could not be resolved with just a word or two. He agreed on the surface, but inwardly was full of resentment.

Di Lin stated that there were as many as twenty-five people involved in corruption cases in various xingtai, who had now been escorted to the Imperial Capital. If the Gu Lan case was used as a reference, all of them would be executed. Luo Minghai obstructed, telling him to make sure to investigate thoroughly to avoid wrongly accusing good people; he was speaking with veiled meaning. Zichuan Canxing, on the other hand, told Di Lin to handle it freely.

Di Lin reported Zichuan Ning's recent situation to Zichuan Canxing. Zichuan Canxing assigned Di Lin a task, arranging for Si Te Lin to escort Zichuan Ning back to the Imperial Capital. Di Lin accepted the order and left. Zichuan Canxing kept Luo Minghai behind, saying that he was the closest person to him (of course, this might also include Di Lin), and told him to investigate freely. If Di Lin made any mistakes, he would also handle it impartially.

This approach undoubtedly provoked the open and secret struggle between Luo Minghai and Di Lin, preventing either side from becoming too powerful after consolidating their influence, which would be unfavorable to the stability of his regime. To improve his subordinates' combat effectiveness and cohesion, Zichuan Xiu specially hired members of the Serpent Race to steal items from his men. Then he issued an order that if anyone's items were lost, their year-end bonus would be deducted.

His subordinates had to unite to retrieve their belongings from the Serpent Race. The Three Provinces Directorate was about to hold a meeting. Bai Chuan and others did not understand why Zichuan Xiu would attach so much importance to it. Zichuan Ning explained the origin of the Three Provinces Directorate to everyone.

The ruler at that time, Zichuan Yun, in order to check the power of the monarch, initially formulated good policies, but as it gradually developed, the Three Provinces Directorate became a tool for nobles to seize benefits, and even the monarch sometimes had to make concessions. Si Te Lin also received news telling him to return. Di Lin also sent a message. He immediately ordered his subordinates to pick up Zichuan Ning.

After he finished the handover of the Deyun Xingtai matters, he would lead his troops to rendezvous with his subordinates and then return to the Imperial Capital together. Zichuan Ning asked Si Te Lin's subordinates for another day. She was reluctant to leave Zichuan Xiu, but she also understood his intentions for Yuanzhou. Leaving now was the best support she could give him.

Zichuan Xiu was also reluctant, but he had a great cause in mind and might have to stay in Yuanzhou in the future; this was not a matter of just a year or two. Ultimately, Zichuan Ning still left. She kept Zichuan Xiu in her thoughts. This return was not the end of their relationship, but a new beginning. Zichuan Xiu escorted Old Derun back to his hometown.

Old Derun hosted a banquet to entertain everyone and advised him to stay there temporarily to avoid the war. At this moment, Zichuan Xiu's subordinate reported that a merchant doing business with the Wealth Creation Hall sent news that they had found clues about Lei Hong and others. Zichuan Xiu immediately organized his troops, determined to kill Lei Hong to avenge Ge Yingxing.

Lei Hong had previously sent his subordinate to the North Clan to pledge allegiance, preparing for his next step of seeking refuge in the North Clan. At the border, Zichuan Xiu led his men to intercept Lei Hong, and a fierce battle ensued. Finally, Zichuan Xiu severely wounded Lei Hong. Just as he was about to finish off Lei Hong, someone intervened and rescued Lei Hong.

Zichuan Xiu knew this person was one of the top experts in the North Clan. The fact that the North Clan valued Lei Hong so much indicated that Lei Hong still had potential use. After Lei Hong and his subordinate were captured, the North Clan's sorcerer performed an exorcism ritual for the two of them. The subordinate was panicked, but Lei Hong laughed heartily. He knew that this time he had truly escaped death.

During the Three Provinces Directorate meeting, Di Lin also wanted to listen in, but was stopped by Zichuan Canxing. Most of the councilors had businesses in Yuanzhou, and the continuous warfare had already caused them huge losses. If it continued, it would harm their foundations, so they strongly demanded a ceasefire. For this purpose, they even found a respected elder from the Zoey clan. However, this elder proposed that he take charge of Yuanzhou, which Zichuan Canxing could not accept.
