Although Qijian hid the truth from Qiu Shanjun, making him believe Chen Changsheng and the others were truly not at the National Academy, she couldn't deceive Gou Hanshi. He knew, given Qijian's relationship with Chen Changsheng, that their group must still be within the National Academy. Sure enough, Gou Hanshi came to the library and discovered the whereabouts of Chen Changsheng and the others.

To the always upright Gou Hanshi, he didn't believe Chen Changsheng would be a spy for the monsters, but he trusted his senior brother Qiu Shanjun, with whom he had grown up since childhood, even more. So when Chen Changsheng told him that Qiu Shanjun was very likely the spy for the monsters, he truly found it unacceptable. However, remembering the anomalies he had previously discovered in Qiu Shanjun, Gou Hanshi's heart was now filled with doubts.

Under Qijian's cover, Chen Changsheng and the others put on the clothes of Lishan Sword Sect disciples and followed her to the Tang Residence, temporarily settling there. During this temporary calm, Chen Changsheng felt a tremor in his chest; his celestial lines had grown longer again. Chen Changsheng realized that all this must be related to the Star Array. The array's power of the stars influenced the power of the stars within Chen Changsheng, causing his body to react.

Luoluo looked at Chen Changsheng's pale face, feeling very worried. For this, she specially arranged to meet Jin Yulu, asking him to bring her various elixirs, hoping to alleviate Chen Changsheng's condition. After a period of searching, Mo Yu and Qiu Shanjun did not find any trace of Chen Changsheng and the others. Despite this, the two still had to report back to The Empress.

It was at this time that Qiu Shanjun learned from The Empress that Chen Changsheng was actually the Crown Prince of Great Zhou and The Empress's son. This undoubtedly made him feel that The Empress would probably not truly put Chen Changsheng to death. If Chen Changsheng were to accuse him of being a monster spy at that point, the situation would become extremely tricky. That night, Chen Changsheng felt unwell due to his cultivation practice.

Fortunately, Xu Yourong's Heart Nurturing Pills timely alleviated the situation, but she only had two left in her hand, and all her other Health Preserving Pills were kept inside Tong Palace, which was now in Qiu Shanjun's hands. Meanwhile, Qiu Shanjun was once again secretly walking the streets in the dark of night, and he once again took action to kill the city's patrolling guards.

However, all of this was discovered by Gou Hanshi, who had also appeared on the street. Even though Qiu Shanjun repeatedly covered his face, Gou Hanshi still recognized his figure. They had grown up together since childhood; how could he not recognize his always most respected senior brother? The moment Qiu Shanjun removed his cloak and revealed his true face, Gou Hanshi felt his heart shatter.

He suddenly knelt on the ground helplessly; if he could choose, he would never believe that his senior brother was actually a monster spy. When Qiu Shanjun recounted the past events one by one to Gou Hanshi, Gou Hanshi felt no moment more despairing than this one.

Gou Hanshi persuaded Qiu Shanjun to surrender to rectify the situation and correct his mistakes, but Qiu Shanjun's demonic roots were already deeply entrenched; how could he abandon his reputation and admit to the world that he, a dignified elite of the Human race, had fallen into demonism? As the two spoke, Nan Ke arrived with her subordinates and attacked Gou Hanshi without a word.

Although Qiu Shanjun shouted for Nan Ke to stop, Gou Hanshi was ultimately pushed off the cliff by Nan Ke. Qiu Shanjun felt a deep sense of powerlessness and pain. Reason told him that Gou Hanshi was like a brother to him; how could he stand by and watch Gou Hanshi fall off the cliff without doing anything? However, compared to his reputation, Gou Hanshi's death seemed like a good option, and this was the root of his pain.

On one hand, he hoped to remain the true gentleman Qiu Shanjun, but on the other hand, he knew that he had long been completely changed and utterly hypocritical. Seeing Qiu Shanjun's pained expression, Nan Ke first fed him a Demon Subduing Pill to help him suppress the demonic energy within his body, and then took the opportunity to persuade Qiu Shanjun to fully join the monster camp and make a name for himself among the monsters.

It must be said that Nan Ke's conditions were very enticing. Although Qiu Shanjun repeatedly emphasized that he was a Human, he couldn't help but be tempted. After all, if his identity were revealed now, he would have no place among Humans, not to mention that the monster army was already advancing towards the Humans, and once the Star Map was acquired, an unavoidable war between Humans and monsters would break out. Gou Hanshi's disappearance quickly caught Qijian's attention.

After searching fruitlessly, Qijian found Chen Changsheng and told him that all of this was likely related to Qiu Shanjun. At this point, Chen Changsheng suggested letting Mo Yu monitor Qiu Shanjun to find evidence that he was a monster spy. This way, they could not only find Gou Hanshi but also help Xu Yourong retrieve the Tong Palace. Under Qijian's arrangement, Xu Yourong soon met Mo Yu and asked Mo Yu to help monitor Qiu Shanjun.

In fact, Mo Yu had long harbored suspicions about Qiu Shanjun but had been unable to act due to his reputation. This was a good opportunity for her to see if Qiu Shanjun was still "that" Qiu Shanjun. Through surveillance, Mo Yu realized that Qiu Shanjun was indeed behaving strangely, but this was not enough to accuse him. So, she decided to catch him red-handed the next time he killed someone.

One night, Mo Yu and her people ambushed the area around the street early, and sure enough, they discovered a person in a black cloak appearing. However, when she surrounded the person and questioned Qiu Shanjun why he did this, Qiu Shanjun suddenly appeared from another direction. Qiu Shanjun's appearance made Mo Yu panic, meaning the person she had surrounded clearly couldn't be Qiu Shanjun.

When the other party removed their cloak, Mo Yu discovered it was actually Nan Ke's subordinate, but the person did not engage in a drawn-out fight with them and quickly left. Qiu Shanjun knew that Mo Yu must have already suspected him, so when Mo Yu suggested to The Empress using Demon Detecting Sand to check for demonic energy within Qiu Shanjun, he readily agreed.

This was because he was very clear that with the help of the Demon Subduing Pill, the Demon Detecting Sand could not detect the demonic energy within him. When the facts proved his so-called 'innocence,' The Empress immediately ordered Mo Yu's military authority to be stripped and handed over to Qiu Shanjun, while also ordering him to find Chen Changsheng as soon as possible.
