Princess Li Yu’s loyal aide, Mingchi, approached her with a proposition to eliminate the Third Prince’s rivals for the throne. He offered his intelligence in exchange for her and the future Emperor’s support in becoming the next State Preceptor of Tang. Li Yu, appreciating his ambition, listened as Mingchi revealed his leverage: Empress Xia Tian had been secretly meeting with someone who appeared to be from the Badlands.
Mingchi believed capturing this individual would expose the Empress’s origins, discrediting her and the Sixth Prince. Li Yu agreed to the plan, demanding concrete proof, and Mingchi assured her he would handle the investigation discreetly, without involving his master. Meanwhile, Mo Shanshan and her Mochi Garden disciples were awaiting orders from the West Shrine.
Their campsite was disturbed by a disciple of Master Qu'ni from the Yue Lun State, who rudely demanded to exchange campsites to gain access to their hot springs. When Mo Shanshan’s disciples refused, he attacked. Just as the confrontation intensified, Ning Que appeared and swiftly subdued the aggressive disciple. The defeated man demanded Ning Que’s name, and Ning Que facetiously identified himself as "Zhong Dajun," a supposed disciple of the Academy.
The name, being one of some renown, was enough to make the disciple depart. Wei Guangming, having escaped the Secluded Pavilion, located Sang Sang at the Old Brush Pen Shop. However, he was soon confronted outside by Li Qingshan, the State Preceptor. Li Qingshan warned the fugitive not to interfere with worldly affairs, but Wei Guangming, obsessed with finding the Son of Yama before the Eternal Night, dismissed him.
When Li Qingshan attempted to apprehend him, Wei Guangming effortlessly defeated his men and forced him to retreat, then slipped inside the shop for refuge. Sang Sang, who had initially refused him entry, took pity on him, first bringing him a quilt and then allowing him to stay for the night. Inside, Wei Guangming was deeply moved by the calligraphy on the walls.
He later tried to persuade Sang Sang to become his disciple to inherit his spiritual legacy, but she dismissed him as a peculiar, impoverished old man. During the night, Sang Sang spoke to Ning Que’s empty bed, recounting the day’s events and hoping for his swift return. The next morning, messengers from the West Shrine arrived to summon Mr. Thirteenth of the Academy for a military briefing.
Separately, the Emperor of Tang decided to send General Shu Cheng to the Badlands as support. Empress Xia Tian confronted the Emperor, arguing that the Badlands people were only migrating south to escape the encroaching Eternal Night and wished to return to their homeland. The Emperor, however, maintained that they had broken their treaty with Tang, making their intentions dangerously unpredictable, and refused to reconsider his decision. Later, the joint military council convened.
The Academy’s representative, Mr. Thirteenth, was conspicuously absent; Chuyou Xian attended in his stead, claiming he was unwell. Ning Que accompanied him, still disguised as Zhong Dajun, disappointing Mo Shanshan who had hoped to meet the famous Mr. Thirteenth. Luo Kedi, the West Shrine cavalry leader, announced that an escort was needed for a provision transport mission deep into the Badlands. Master Qu'ni, holding a grudge from the earlier conflict, mockingly suggested Mo Shanshan lead the perilous mission.
Luo Kedi agreed, forcing Mo Shanshan to sign a military pledge assuming full responsibility. When Chuyou Xian offered the Academy's help, Master Qu'ni ridiculed the absent Mr. Thirteenth as a coward. To provide support, General Shu Cheng offered a guide from Tang, and Ning Que seized the opportunity to volunteer, citing his familiarity with the terrain. Back in the imperial palace, the Third Elder killed a palace maid he correctly suspected was a spy.
Empress Xia Tian, deducing the spy was sent by Li Yu, strictly warned the Elder against further violence within the palace. Meanwhile, Xu Chongshan dispatched a Royal Dark Guard who had been monitoring General Xia Hou to join the escort team. The guard met Ning Que, offering him covert protection and intelligence. He cautioned Ning Que that investigating Xia Hou would be fruitless without entering his base in Tuyang City and gave him a whistle for contact. Unbeknownst to them, news of Ning Que’s mission had already reached Xia Hou, who immediately dispatched his subordinate Lin Ling to assassinate him.
