Commander Xu Chongshan apprehended several Revolt Party spies in a city-wide search, while Chongming gathered his forces and poisoned them to prevent his identity from being exposed after the assassination attempt on Li Yu at the Academy. He Mingchi urged Chongming to retreat, but he reluctantly agreed and escaped. Commander Xu's team found the Revolt Party's hideout, discovering the poisoned members and Chongming's mask.
Chongming presented himself to the Emperor, admitting failure in supervising Yan State subjects, and denied knowledge of the Revolt Party. He promised to investigate and eradicate such "unhealthy trends" if he returned to power, but the Emperor remained skeptical, warning him against becoming a pawn. Chongming swore loyalty. Li Yu thanked the Emperor for Chongming's intervention. The Emperor, reflecting on the loss of his children, agreed to send Li Hunyuan to the Academy for protection.
A eunuch reported the Sixth Prince's illness, prompting the Emperor to leave. Luo Kedi, learning of the Revolt Party's failure, decided to abandon Chongming and dismantle the Light Hall, leaving Long Qing without sanctuary. Priest Moli informed the King of Yan of Chongming's failure, inciting his anger. Priest Moli demanded an explanation for the failure of the Revolt Party, a joint effort of Yan State and West Shrine.
Long Qing returned from the Northern Lands, presenting Lu Chenjia with a frozen snow lotus. She worried about his expended mental energy but accepted it. Ning Que, anxious about his Academy entrance exam, wanted to return to Wei City. Sangsang comforted him, suggesting he try again next year. Ning Que reluctantly checked the results, discovering he had earned three A+ grades. Chu Youxian celebrated with him.
In the Light Hall, Grand Priest Xuanyi warned Long Qing of the Hall's danger, instructing him to go to the Zhishou Temple, West Shrine's true power center, with a token. Long Qing, sensing a lurker, pursued them but was captured by a masked woman in red. Agents from the Jurisdictions arrived, accusing Long Qing of murdering Grand Priest Xuanyi. Long Qing escaped to Peach Hill, seeking refuge with Lu Chenjia. She hid him, but the Jurisdictions arrived, demanding to search.
Lu Chenjia asserted her identity as the Princess of Yue Lun State and Saint Virgin of Sect Tianqing, but the Jurisdictions insisted after finding bloodstains. Ye Hongyu intervened, saving them. Long Qing implied Luo Kedi was behind the Light Hall's plight and offered his help, but Ye Hongyu dismissed him. Long Qing claimed he could obtain Luo Kedi's next assassination plan. On Ning Que's first day at the Academy, Sangsang prepared him.
Li Manman, acting on the Sage's instructions, offered to trade a book for Ning Que's umbrella, but he refused. Chief Instructor Huang welcomed the new students, outlining the Academy's history and rules. Instructor Cao Zhifeng introduced the students, including Xie Chengyun, Ning Que, Wang Ying, Li Hunyuan, Chu Zhongtian, Situ Yilan, Kim Wucai, and Chu Youxian. Cao Zhifeng emphasized equality among students. Cao Zhifeng's first lesson was on "Rituals," embodying rules.
A student challenged him, asserting military strength determined what was right. Cao Zhifeng physically subdued the student, stating, "Rituals are rules. This is my rule." Ning Que questioned his use of force, and Cao Zhifeng revealed he was from Chengjing in Yan State. Cao Zhifeng expelled Li Hunyuan and another student from the classroom. Ning Que realized Cao Zhifeng was a Great Master. Sangsang accidentally scorched Ning Que's garment while ironing.
The students assembled at the Temple of Old-books, led by Yu Lian. She explained the building housed all the world's knowledge, clarifying that books, once thoughts committed to paper, became "old things."
