Sang Sang, longing for Ning Que's return, decides to learn divine skills from Wei Guangming, eager to protect Ning Que as he has always protected her. Meanwhile, Ning Que and Mo Shanshan, after defeating the horse bandits and recovering the grain, rush toward their main camp. Mo Shanshan, having nearly depleted her psychokinesis in the battle, requests a moment to rest, which Ning Que grants.
In the palace, Xia Tian implements extensive security measures, including thorough background checks for new staff, increased guard patrols, and deploying Eagle Eye Guards and archers on the rooftops with orders to shoot on sight. When her guards report that the Sixth Prince, Hu'po, has gone missing from the imperial garden, Xia Tian immediately dispatches search parties. She eventually finds Hu'po happily riding on the back of the Third Elder.
The Elder, noting Hu'po's unique bloodline as a mixture of two, cautions Xia Tian to protect him, as he is destined for greatness if he grows up safely. Suspicious of his intentions, Xia Tian quickly takes Hu'po away. She sternly instructs Hu'po never to see the Third Elder again and forbids him from singing the folk song the elder taught him.
Hu'po innocently reveals that he told the Third Elder about his third brother, Li Hunyuan, giving him laxatives, which led to the elder cursing Li Hunyuan. Commander Xu arrives, and Xia Tian ensures Hu'po stays in his room under guard. Mo Shanshan, consumed by her admiration for Mr. Thirteen of the Academy, spends her time practicing his "chicken soup post," even neglecting meals. Ning Que, disguised as Brother Zhong, brings her food.
Mo Shanshan asks Ning Que what the author of the post is like. Secretly pleased, Ning Que deliberately disparages his own work, calling it unrestrained, scattered in form and spirit, and dismissing it as an unorthodox method unworthy of mention. Mo Shanshan becomes enraged, vehemently defending Mr. Thirteen, whom she deeply admires. Ning Que's continued insults provoke her further, causing her to sulk.
He internally regrets having used the name "Zhong Dajun," fearing his identity as the author will be revealed. Upon learning from Commander Xu that the Third Elder is missing, Xia Tian correctly deduces he has gone to seek revenge on Li Hunyuan. At the training arena, Li Hunyuan is suddenly overwhelmed by a powerful force and thrown to the ground. The Third Elder appears, vowing to avenge Hu'po for being poisoned with laxatives.
He furiously manipulates weapons with his psychokinesis, launching a fierce assault on Li Hunyuan. Xia Tian rushes in, desperately shielding Li Hunyuan and confronting the Third Elder, barely saving him from a fatal blow. Li Yu arrives at the military camp with Huashan Yue and Li Mingchi. Li Mingchi immediately recognizes the Third Elder as the former State Preceptor and urges Li Yu to capture him, claiming it would expose Xia Tian's true identity.
However, Li Yu's sole concern is Li Hunyuan's safety, and she rushes to the training arena, leaving a frustrated Li Mingchi behind. Observing this, the Third Elder expresses concern for the difficult path ahead for Xia Tian and her son. He criticizes Xia Tian for being too soft and demands that she convince the Tang King to permit the Huang Ren's migration south, threatening to confront the King himself if she fails.
Xia Tian warns him against acting rashly, reaffirming her loyalty to the King and promising to help, stating her home is wherever her husband is. Li Hunyuan, severely injured, is rushed back to the Mansion of the Princess by a distraught Li Yu, who immediately summons an imperial physician.
Meanwhile, good news reaches Mo Shanshan: the West Shrine coalition army has decisively defeated the Huang Ren, forcing them to retreat north of Tianqi Mountain, and the Huang Ren elders have requested peace talks. Mo Shanshan is overjoyed. Just then, a guard from Princess Chen Jia of Yuelun State arrives, stating that Princess Chen Jia has been waiting and invites Mo Shanshan for a reunion.
Mo Shanshan, citing her duty to escort grain, declines and instructs Chen Jia to come to her instead. Back at the palace, Xia Tian searches for the Tang King but learns he is at the Army headquarters discussing strategy, leaving her anxious. Ning Que, still posing as Brother Zhong, expresses his "liking" for Mo Shanshan, explaining it is a common Tang expression of goodwill. Mo Shanshan clarifies that she already has someone she likes.
Ning Que then casually inquires about Chen Jia. Mo Shanshan explains that she is the "Flower-Addict," niece of Master Qu Ni, and is infatuated with Prince Long Qing. Ning Que subtly expresses his disdain for Long Qing. Reflecting on the recent bandit attack, Mo Shanshan suspects that she, not the grain, was the true target and sincerely thanks Ning Que for his crucial assistance. She then seeks his advice on combat strategy.
Ning Que earnestly shares his philosophy: protect yourself, incapacitate the enemy, and kill them if necessary, as "only the dead are safe" on a battlefield. He also suggests escaping when facing a far stronger opponent or using cunning tactics. Mo Shanshan laughs at his unconventional advice and asks about his childhood. However, Ning Que's expression darkens as he recalls painful memories, and he quietly excuses himself.
Sang Sang enthusiastically recounts amusing anecdotes from Ning Que's childhood in Wei City to Wei Guangming. When Wei Guangming asks about their life after arriving in the capital, Sang Sang becomes tight-lipped. The two share a lively time, drinking and playing a hand-slapping game, with Wei Guangming showing childlike joy. Back at her camp, Mo Shanshan continues her tireless practice of the "chicken soup post." An envoy from Princess Chen Jia arrives, delivering a compulsory invitation.
Left with no choice, Mo Shanshan agrees to go. Mo Shanshan finds Chen Jia by a river, meticulously tending to a rare snow lotus. Mo Shanshan confronts her, condemning the West Shrine soldiers for their inaction during the bandit attack, which resulted in the death of her junior sister, Tu'er. Chen Jia claims that as a mere disciple, she was powerless to command the soldiers, and expresses a cold disinterest in Tu'er's fate, stating she has never known anger.
Enraged by Chen Jia's callousness, Mo Shanshan unleashes her psychokinesis, incinerating the snow lotus. A heartbroken Chen Jia uses her vital Qi to revive the plant, declaring that Prince Long Qing prefers her current, serene self. Mo Shanshan retorts, accusing Chen Jia of flaunting her affection for Long Qing out of insecurity. Chen Jia observes that Mo Shanshan has changed, attributing it to the influence of the Academy disciple she is with, a statement Mo Shanshan confirms.
General Shucheng, despite his victory, is displeased that North-Defending General Xia Hou deliberately avoided him when their forces passed each other. Meanwhile, the Third Elder, impatient for an answer regarding the Huang Ren's migration, storms into the imperial palace to confront the Tang King. Xia Tian desperately tries to stop him, vowing to protect the King. The Third Elder unleashes the techniques of the Demonic Cult, and Xia Tian responds with her Devil Dance but is quickly overpowered.
The Tang King arrives with his elite guards and rescues her. The King offers to grant any of the Third Elder's demands if he spares Xia Tian. However, the Elder declares he wants the Tang King's life. The King courageously agrees, casting aside his sword in exchange for Xia Tian's safety. Unexpectedly, the Third Elder changes his mind again, deciding to kill Xia Tian first.
