Ye Hongyu, while copying poetry, recalled her time with Ning Que in the Badlands after touching a handkerchief. Meanwhile, Ning Que escorted Mo Shanshan to the true Backhill of the Academy, a place cultivators considered unreachable. She felt fortunate to have visited both the Demonic Sect and the Academy's Backhill because of him.
Ning Que offered to introduce her to Seventh Sister Mu You, but Mo Shanshan, feeling like an outsider despite being First Brother's sister, politely declined and opted to wait at the foot of the mountain so Ning Que could speak with his siblings. Mu You immediately inquired about the handkerchief she had given him. Ning Que explained he had used it to bandage someone's wound. Satisfied, Mu You directed him to Second Brother Jun Mo.
Ning Que confirmed to Second Brother Jun Mo that the answer to his question was "Boundless and mighty, without boundary, soaring straight to the sky," which is the Qi of Magnanimity. Jun Mo praised his progress, acknowledging that Ning Que had not only leveled up but also crippled Prince Long Qing and killed Lin Ling, a follower of Xia Hou, in Tuyang City.
Ning Que expressed concern that these actions might implicate the Academy, but Jun Mo reassured him, stating that Academy disciples uphold reason and Ning Que was in the right, so he should not worry about Xia Hou. Jun Mo disagreed with First Brother’s philosophy of repaying grudges with virtue and asserted that grievances should be repaid directly, a principle taught by the Sage.
When Jun Mo casually asked if Ning Que had brought Ms. Book-Addict to the Academy, Ning Que quickly denied any special connection, stating she was First Brother's sister, before excusing himself. Ning Que visited Fourth Brother and Sixth Brother, thanking them for crafting the Thirteen Arrows of Qi which had saved him in the Badlands. He requested their help to combine his three falchion swords into a single blade capable of piercing Xia Hou's Bright Armor.
The brothers were surprised by his intention to challenge Xia Hou. Elsewhere, Sang Sang confided in Little Grass, who declared that all men were "playboys." Little Grass urged Sang Sang to reveal her true identity as the lady of the Zeng family to Ning Que, but Sang Sang refused and insisted on secrecy. Little Grass warned that the entire capital knew Ning Que had returned with many beautiful girls from DaHe, especially Mo Shanshan, the Book-Addict.
She questioned if Sang Sang wasn't worried, to which Sang Sang admitted concern but insisted on remaining "Sang Sang of my young master," refusing to be anyone's concubine. Later, as Ning Que and Mo Shanshan explored the capital, they encountered Guan Hai, a disciple of Master Qishan from Lanke Temple, who presented an invitation from Lanke Temple for the Academy to attend the upcoming YuLan Festival. Guan Hai challenged Ning Que to a fight, seeking "advice".
Ning Que asked Mo Shanshan to take Guan Hai to a tea house while he composed himself. Ning Que decided to accept the challenge as preparation for his confrontation with Xia Hou. He feared losing control during intense combat and revealing his "Qi Deviation". He resolved to remain still, silent, and peaceful, resisting any urge to retaliate, to prevent anyone from discovering his demonic path.
He then took Guan Hai and Mo Shanshan to the South Branch main hall, requesting its use from Brother He Mingchi, who acknowledged the historical significance of Mr. Thirteen's first fight after entering society. As Mo Shanshan and He Mingchi waited outside, they discussed the possible outcome. Inside the hall, Ning Que proposed they each make a single move to decide the victor, with no weapons. Guan Hai agreed, acknowledging Ning Que's "deeply kind and gentle" nature.
Guan Hai initially insisted Ning Que attack first, but Ning Que retorted that if he attacked first, Guan Hai would have no chance. Guan Hai then launched his attack, using his Tianqing Palm and Hymn of Tianqing. Ning Que fought an internal battle to suppress the "Glutton," his demonic force, resisting its urge to retaliate. He was struck, collapsing and spitting blood. Perplexed, Guan Hai asked why Ning Que hadn't fought back.
Ning Que replied that if he had, Guan Hai would be dead. Impressed by Ning Que's bravery and still-mind, Guan Hai declared his defeat, bowing in respect. He acknowledged that neither of them had truly won or lost. Outside, He Mingchi checked on them. Ning Que thanked He Mingchi for the use of the hall and bid farewell to Guan Hai before leaving with Mo Shanshan.
Mo Shanshan expressed concern for Ning Que's injury, and he, playing on her sympathy, asked her to help him walk. She teased that he was "weak all the time" but admitted he was "powerful today." Meanwhile, Sang Sang returned to the House of Calligraphy to find Ning Que absent.
Feeling disheartened, she prepared dinner, reflecting aloud on the uncomfortable prospect of three people living together and wondering about her role in Ning Que's life and his long absence in the Badlands because of other girls. Separately, Ning Que and Mo Shanshan continued their tour of the capital. Mo Shanshan explained DaHe's vulnerable position despite its peace and prosperity, attributing it to Tang's enduring protection.
She emphasized that Ning Que needed to strengthen himself to make Tang more powerful and thus ensure continued peace. Ning Que thanked her. He presented her with a pair of crystalline glasses, which felt cold to her touch, telling her they would help her see clearly. Mo Shanshan loved the gift. She reaffirmed her feelings, reminding him that she had told him she liked him at the Demonic Sect and now wanted him to like her too, seeking fairness.
Ning Que confirmed that he did. Mo Shanshan shyly ran off. Later, Mo Shanshan walked Ning Que back to the House of Calligraphy. She expressed her happiness at their time together and kissed him. Ning Que was momentarily speechless. Sang Sang, witnessing this, retreated into the kitchen to prepare scallion noodles. At dinner, Ning Que remained lost in happy thought. Sang Sang urged him to eat his noodles before they stuck together.
She then asked him what kind of "young mistress" (少奶奶) he desired, and suggested Mo Shanshan. Ning Que became awkward, stating that Mo Shanshan was "nice," and quickly ate his noodles, avoiding eye contact.
