Pippi Chen visited Ning Que at Confessing Cliff and found Sang Sang cooking. Pippi, being his usual annoying self, jumped in and out of the cave entrance until Ning Que subdued him. Pippi then enthusiastically described Tang Xiaotang as beautiful, cute, gorgeous, sincere, and courageous, leading Ning Que to realize Pippi's feelings for her.
Pippi admitted he wanted her to stay at the Academy rather than return to her harsh northern home, but felt their relationship was impossible due to his own status. Ning Que encouraged him to pursue his happiness simply and boldly, just as he planned to marry Sang Sang one day. Before leaving, Pippi gave Ning Que the book "Mind attack of Universality" and mentioned that Liu Yiqing, the Sword Prodigy Liu Bai's brother, was there to challenge him.
Liu Yiqing waited outside the Academy gates. A cleaning woman told him Ning Que was in seclusion for at least three months. Liu Yiqing accused Ning Que of hiding, shaming the Academy. The woman rebuked him for his discourtesy and warned him against seeking fame by challenging the "weakest of all Second Floor" disciples. She suggested he couldn't endure cultivation if he couldn't tolerate a little dust, which made him ashamed but still unwilling to give up.
Inside the Academy, Yu Lian informed Tang Xiaotang she was to be her master, appointed by the Sage. Tang Xiaotang, wanting to be the Sage's direct disciple and the world's strongest woman, dismissed Yu Lian's ability. Yu Lian took Tang Xiaotang to a waterfall and challenged her to jump from the top 129 times to prove her ambition, emphasizing the need to know how to use courage, stating that nothing is simple.
Back at Confessing Cliff, Ning Que studied the book and encouraged Sang Sang to read it, saying she was more talented than Pippi. Sang Sang agreed if Ning Que would sew clothes, which he struggled with. At the waterfall, Tang Xiaotang was exhausted after 78 jumps. Pippi pleaded with her to stop, fearing for her life.
Tang Xiaotang, now calling Ning Que "Twelfth Uncle," declared her resolve to overcome every difficulty to be Yu Lian's disciple and completed all 129 jumps before collapsing, causing Pippi to carry her back. After Tang Xiaotang became Yu Lian's disciple, Yu Lian took her to meet Ning Que at Confessing Cliff. Ning Que was amused by the "Youngest Uncle" title and warned Tang Xiaotang not to cause trouble.
Yu Lian reminded Ning Que of the Sage's ban on Confessing Cliff, trusting him to not waste the Sage's expectations and keep Tang Xiaotang's secret. Sang Sang, returning from gathering flowers, was surprised by Tang Xiaotang's presence and was cold to her, though Tang Xiaotang thought they were friends. Yu Lian often brought books and taught Ning Que.
Other senior siblings kept them company; Mu You taught Sang Sang embroidery, and Fourth and Sixth Brothers made a divine blade for Ning Que, making life comfortable for the couple. Meanwhile, Priest Cheng Lixue and the High Priest of Oracle arrived in Tang, greeted by Li Qingshan. Cheng Lixue wanted to go to the Academy immediately to find "the descendant of light," so Li Qingshan sent He Mingchi to guide them.
Sang Sang returned from grocery shopping to find them waiting. Cheng Lixue greeted her as "High Priest of Light," explaining she was Wei Guangming's heir, master of the Light Hall, and must return to West Shrine, betraying her master's dying wish if she refused. Pippi informed the Sage, who already knew and told Pippi to tell Ning Que, trusting that Ning Que's drive would keep Sang Sang with him.
Upon learning West Shrine wanted to take Sang Sang, Ning Que was furious. He repeatedly tried to break the Sage's ban at the entrance of Confessing Cliff, only to be thrown back. Recalling Sang Sang's advice to focus and use "purest Qi," Ning Que calmed his mind, merged his Qi of Magnanimous with the Brilliance of Haotian, and passed through the ban. Pippi rejoiced, and Ning Que rushed down the mountain to rescue Sang Sang.
The Sage and Li Manman were quietly pleased by Ning Que's breakthrough. Ning Que refused to let Sang Sang go to West Shrine. Cheng Lixue stated Sang Sang was the High Priest of Light, not Ning Que's handmaiden, and accused Ning Que of selfishness. Ning Que declared he and Sang Sang were inseparable since childhood, their fates intertwined, symbolized by their black umbrella, and he wanted to marry her, urging her to nod.
He vowed to fight the entire world to keep Sang Sang, giving Cheng Lixue an ultimatum: war or retreat. Cheng Lixue admired Ning Que's courage but said Sang Sang could be both his wife and the High Priest, so war was unnecessary, agreeing to wait three days for her answer. As Ning Que left with Sang Sang, Liu Yiqing, holding Chao Xiaoshu's sword, stopped him, claiming he knew Chao Xiaoshu's fate. Ning Que accepted the challenge.
Liu Yiqing faltered in their fight. As Ning Que prepared to strike, Liu Yiqing threatened Chao Xiaoshu's secret would die with him, then attacked, knocking Ning Que down. Ning Que unleashed his disguised Qi of Magnanimous as the Brilliance of Haotian, blinding Liu Yiqing, who refused to accept defeat from someone who only used one strike and demanded to continue the fight. Ning Que demanded Chao Xiaoshu's location. Liu Yiqing refused.
Ning Que knocked him down again, retrieved Chao Xiaoshu's sword, and left. Cheng Lixue was impressed, and the Sage praised Ning Que for concealing his Qi Deviation and mastering Qi of Magnanimous, predicting a great future for him.
