Gong Ziyu was deeply upset because Yun Weishan, under the effects of the truth herb, said she didn’t like him. He had thought their feelings were mutual but now realized he was the only one invested. Despite his frustration, he hoped the truth herb had failed. After calming down, he decided to focus on creating the antidote. The responsibility of the Gong family was too great—he couldn’t be distracted by personal feelings.

Elder Yue saw through his thoughts and advised that sometimes a bit of selfishness isn’t a fault—unresolved emotions could be the one bright light in a dark heart. Gong Ziyu came up with a plan. He claimed he had found the antidote and invited Elder Yue to verify it. He told him the antidote was still brewing and offered him tea while waiting. Elder Yue drank the tea and soon became dazed—it had been laced with the truth herb.

Gong Ziyu then questioned him about the ingredients and quantities for the antidote. Although he felt shame for using such a method, he believed it was worth it to save Yun Weishan. The servants of the Moon Palace delivered the antidote ingredients, but the most crucial herb, Xūyú grass, was in limited supply—only enough for one dose. Gong Ziyu asked whether the herb could be found at the front mountain clinic.

The servant replied that all medicinal materials go to the Moon Palace first, and if it wasn’t there, it couldn’t be found anywhere in the Gong family. In fact, this was a test from Elder Yue to see how Gong Ziyu and Yun Weishan would choose. Gong Ziyu quietly played the qin while Yun Weishan listened from afar. After finishing the piece, he asked why she didn’t come closer.

Yun Weishan said she was afraid of disturbing him, but Gong Ziyu replied that it didn’t matter—if not for his numb legs, he would have gone to her. Yun Weishan then sat beside him. Two bowls of medicine were delivered—one to reduce Gong Ziyu’s internal heat, and the other to dispel Yun Weishan’s chill. Gong Ziyu then pulled out the antidote, saying he had prepared it specifically for Yun Weishan.

Knowing there was only one dose of the antidote, Yun Weishan pretended she would take it but suddenly subdued Gong Ziyu and forced it into his mouth. Then she drank her own medicine in one gulp. Gong Ziyu wasn’t angry—instead, he was overjoyed. He said he had made a bet with heaven: the real antidote was actually in Yun Weishan’s bowl. This proved that Yun Weishan liked him.

Upon hearing the truth, Yun Weishan was shocked and burst into tears in Gong Ziyu’s arms, overwhelmed with emotion. Suddenly, she began coughing violently and vomited blood before fainting. Gong Ziyu thought something had gone wrong with Elder Yue’s antidote and struggled to carry her back to the room. Shangguan Qian accidentally overheard Gong Shangjue and Gong Yuanzheng mention "Chuyun Chonglian," a miraculous medicine that could bring someone back from the brink of death.

At that moment, someone came to inform her that Ming Wuji wanted to share some Gentian root for healing. Shangguan Qian took the opportunity to visit the Yu lineage. When she met Ming Wuji, they both revealed their identities. Ming Wuji was curious why Shangguan Qian’s target was Gong Shangjue instead of Gong Ziyu. Shangguan Qian didn’t explain, nor did she mention Yun Weishan—Wufeng's rule was to never interfere in each other’s missions.

Gong Ziyu believed there couldn’t be anything wrong with Elder Yue’s antidote. He recalled the three herbs Elder Yue had mentioned—the first characters of their names formed the phrase “no need to cure,” suggesting that the poison only caused pain but wasn’t fatal. Soon, Yun Weishan woke up. She opened the window and saw Gong Ziyu playing the qin outside with a cheerful expression. When she went out to check, she found his paralysis was gone.

Gong Ziyu told her that the poison of Moon of Heart Corrosion required no antidote. Elder Yue then arrived and congratulated Gong Ziyu on passing the second trial. He addressed him as Sword Wielder, acknowledging him officially. In truth, he had wanted to tell Gong Ziyu everything when he tested the antidote himself, but Gong Shangjue arrived, and he said nothing.

The Fly of the Half Moon only caused bodily pain and wouldn’t be fatal—in fact, depending on the person, it could even enhance one’s inner strength. Gong Ziyu told Yun Weishan to return and report the news. Elder Yue still had techniques to teach him for passing the next stage. Yun Weishan went back and informed Ming Wuji, Gong Zishang, and the others. Everyone was happy for Gong Ziyu.

Meanwhile, a servant followed Gong Shangjue’s order and delivered new clothes to Shangguan Qian. Gong Yuanzheng, seeing his brother’s attentiveness toward her, felt dissatisfied—his emotions were written all over his face, which Gong Shangjue noticed instantly. Gong Ziyu deliberately cut his finger and used the excuse of getting wound medicine to steal some truth herb. In Elder Yue’s room, he discovered women's belongings.

He remembered the silver bracelet Yun Weishan had picked up during their sparring session—she had reacted strongly to it. It turned out the bracelet was one of Elder Yue’s personal keepsakes. Elder Yue later taught Gong Ziyu the three styles of Moon Severing, which appeared more powerful than the three styles of Snow Brushing. He explained that these moves required strong internal energy to be effective—otherwise, they were merely ornamental.

Jin Fan was drinking with the guards to celebrate Gong Ziyu’s success in the second trial. One guard told Jin Fan that on the night the former Sword Wielder and young master were killed, he had seen a graceful young man pass by the dungeon while he was drunk. The man’s figure was similar to Elder Yue’s—this raised Jin Fan’s suspicions.
