Li Peiyan urgently pleaded with the Emperor of Tang on behalf of Princess Li Yu and Prince Li Hunyuan, asking for leniency. He suggested sending Li Hunyuan, who disliked studying and was still young, to the army for training, an idea supported by Xia Tian. The Emperor agreed and ordered Huashan Yue to guide Li Hunyuan. Meanwhile, Pippi Chen pressured Ning Que to participate in the upcoming Second Floor assessment to become a Pro Disciple of the Sage.
He argued that Ning Que’s Cultivation Pill would be wasted if he didn't try, as such opportunities were rare. Ning Que, feeling unprepared due to his novice status and lack of resources compared to other participants like Xie Chengyun, Chu Zhongtian, Wang Ying, and Prince Long Qing, hesitated. Chen Pippi insisted that Ning Que participate in the assessment or return the Cultivation Pill.
Pippi Chen then took Ning Que to Jun Mo’s cultivation area to demonstrate the power of cultivators, where Jun Mo displayed his Qi of Magnanimous, leaving Ning Que in awe. Prince Long Qing’s grand arrival in the capital of Tang was met with enthusiastic cheers from the crowd, who admired his self-discipline and beauty. Sangsang even applied makeup to see him, but Long Qing silently dismissed their admiration, believing the world belonged to Haotian, not Tang.
Ning Que was annoyed to find Sangsang wearing makeup for Long Qing and questioned her about Long Qing’s appearance. Sangsang playfully avoided his questions until Ning Que firmly told her to remove the makeup. Prince Li Hunyuan arrived at the military camp, demanding the soldiers salute him as a prince and future emperor. However, they ignored him.
Huashan Yue presented him with a military uniform, explaining that he must obey military orders regardless of his status and that he was instructed to discipline the Prince, even using military law if necessary. After being forced to comply, the prince defiantly swore revenge. Huashan Yue subjected Li Hunyuan to rigorous training.
Under General Xia Hou’s orders, Lin Ling secretly entered the capital and met with Shangguan Yangyu, the prefect, to investigate the deaths of Zhang Yiqi, Chen Zixian, and Yan Suqing. Lin Ling pressed Shangguan Yangyu for information about the murderer. Shangguan Yangyu revealed that he had found some clues and was preparing to report them.
As the Second Floor assessment approached, Zhong Dajun proposed a celebratory banquet at Victory House for Xie Chengyun, Chu Zhongtian, and Wang Ying, inviting all classmates, including Ning Que, who reluctantly agreed, while Sangsang waited outside. Prince Chongming bid an emotional farewell to Princess Li Yu, expressing his desire to become the King of Yan and acknowledging the potential for war with Tang. He feared that his people considered his "wise brother" more suitable for the throne.
Li Yu encouraged him to claim what was rightfully his but also advised him to face reality, prioritizing the interests of Tang. At the Victory House banquet, Xie Chengyun worried about competing against Prince Long Qing. Situ Yilan approached Ning Que, curiously asking how he knew Princess Li Yu, and Ning Que replied that he "picked her up by the roadside," adding that all good things he found on the roadside were treasures, including Sangsang.
Huashan Yue overheard some Academy students boasting. He sternly rebuked them, reminding them of the Academy’s rule against making grand claims publicly. Situ Yilan interceded and invited Huashan Yue to her new mansion, which diffused the tension and prompted Huashan Yue to leave. Princess Li Yu, having helped Prince Chongming secure military power in Shanyin County, discussed his return to Yan. She hoped he would have the "courage with no regrets" in his decisions.
Hearing the commotion caused by the Academy students in the Victory House, she summoned Huashan Yue to inquire and decided to host a grand banquet in the main hall, inviting Prince Chongming to meet and celebrate with the young talents, including Ning Que and his classmates. Suddenly, Prince Long Qing and Grand Priest Cheng Lixue arrived uninvited. Long Qing explained he had been resting due to a cold but rushed to attend upon learning of Prince Chongming’s departure.
Princess Li Yu invited them to join the feast. During the dinner, Grand Priest Cheng Lixue praised Prince Long Qing’s knowledge and cultivation, asserting that entering the Second Floor would be effortless for him. Huashan Yue expressed his skepticism. The conversation led to a debate between Prince Long Qing and Xie Chengyun, where Long Qing emphasized detaching from worldly concepts to attain true understanding. Xie Chengyun attempted to counter, but Long Qing won, leaving the Tang Academy students stunned.
Ning Que broke the silence by commanding everyone to sit down, and Princess Li Yu then chastised her Academy disciples for their lack of composure. Huashan Yue brought out dozens of jars of wine, challenging Long Qing to a drinking contest, which he accepted. While Long Qing remained composed, Huashan Yue struggled. Meanwhile, Sangsang happily continued to pour and drink for herself.
