Seeing Xue Zhongzi about to strike Yun Weishan with an ice shard, Gong Ziyu rushed forward to stop him, declaring that Yun Weishan was his Green Jade Attendant. Xue Zhongzi knew that Jin Fan was supposed to be his attendant, but Gong Ziyu said that, as Sword Wielder, he had the right to choose. Xue Zhongzi demanded she show the jade ring.

Gong Ziyu tried to cover for her, but Yun Weishan took it out—it turned out to be the important item Jin Fan had mentioned, the Green Jade Attendant’s jade ring. Seeing the jade ring, Xue Zhongzi put down his weapon. Young Master Xue proposed arranging a residence for Yun Weishan, but Gong Ziyu said she should stay with him since she was his betrothed, and the marriage had only been delayed due to mourning.

Back at his place, Yun Weishan told Gong Ziyu about her journey into the back mountain. Seeing her deep concern for him, Gong Ziyu felt warmed. He personally prepared porridge for her. Watching this scene stirred Yun Weishan’s heart. Her sister had once asked about her wishes—Yun Weishan said she just wanted a simple life, someone to cook for her, to live quietly away from the world. Perhaps this was what she had longed for.

Gong Ziyu wanted to grow closer to Yun Weishan and suggested calling her "A-Yun" from now on. Yun Weishan felt it sounded like a kitten’s name, but Gong Ziyu said he liked it. When he asked if the herbal porridge was bitter, Yun Weishan shook her head. Gong Ziyu promised she would never suffer again and that he would always protect her.

His words touched Yun Weishan’s heart, and tears rolled down her cheeks as she sipped the porridge, her feelings for him quietly changing. Elder Yue was assassinated. The assassin left taunting words written in blood, claiming the act was done by an anonymous Wu Feng assassin. Young Master Yue rushed to the front mountain. Numerous sky lanterns were released again in the Gong family. Gong Shangjue sensed trouble. Gong Ziyu also received the news.

As Sword Wielder, he was supposed to protect his family. If they were gone, the trial meant nothing. If he couldn’t protect them, he was unworthy of the role. Xue Zhongzi admired Gong Ziyu’s loyalty and hoped he would become as outstanding as his father. Yun Weishan watched Gong Ziyu leave, deep in thought. Elder Yue’s body was covered with a white cloth and placed in the council hall.

When Gong Ziyu arrived, he stated that Wu Feng assassins were still hiding within the Gong family. Given such a major incident, he questioned what the guards had been doing. Gong Yuanzheng gave an ambiguous reply, saying Elder Yue had deliberately sent away his guards, including his personal attendant, likely to meet someone important. By the time people noticed the strong scent of blood, Elder Yue was already dead.

Yun Weishan returned to the Yu lineage and unexpectedly found Shangguan Qian in her room. Yun Weishan was puzzled by Wu Feng’s frequent recent actions, fearing they’d be suspected again. Shangguan Qian believed the current incident wouldn’t target them, as it likely signaled internal strife in the Gong family. She was right—Gong Shangjue and Gong Yuanzheng pointed the blame toward Gong Ziyu. Yun Weishan’s Half-Moon Fly poison began acting up.

Shangguan Qian gave her a prepared suppressant, and Yun Weishan suggested adding gentian root for better effect. Gong Shangjue proposed taking over the investigation of Wu Feng’s assassins. Gong Ziyu argued that this was the Yu lineage’s duty. Gong Shangjue then brought up the trial, saying if Gong Ziyu ended it midway, it would count as failure. Elder Xue stood up to defend Gong Ziyu, saying his actions were out of deep emotion and deserving of an exception.

Gong Shangjue disagreed, claiming if they could break the rules for Gong Ziyu, then they could break them for anything. As Gong Ziyu insisted on continuing the trial, Gong Shangjue offered to manage all affairs of the Gong family and vowed to identify the assassin within ten days. If Gong Ziyu hadn’t passed the first trial by then, a new Sword Wielder would be chosen.

The two elders protested, saying such a rule never existed, but Gong Shangjue threatened to leave the Gong family if they didn’t comply. Gong Yuanzheng backed him up. At the height of the standoff, Young Master Yue suddenly appeared. According to Gong family rules, after Elder Yue’s death, his clan would appoint a successor. Gong Yuanzheng questioned Young Master Yue’s age and legitimacy, but Gong Shangjue reminded him to show proper respect.

Just then, Ming Wuji entered and declared she was willing to reveal Gong Ziyu’s background and provide both physical and eyewitness evidence. Gong Shangjue was surprised and asked why she changed her mind. Ming Wuji said she wanted a free life. Shangguan Qian came to help Gong Shangjue grind ink and secretly added bay laurel essential oil. Gong Shangjue saw through her little trick—the laurel’s flower language symbolizes victory.

Shangguan Qian wanted to win him over this way, just like how she planted azaleas earlier. The azalea’s flower language means "I will always belong to you. " Gong Ziyu used ice to adapt his body to the cold, trying to complete the trial quickly. Despite the biting chill, he forced himself to endure, thinking of Gong Shangjue’s relentless pressure. Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian both suffered from their internal poisons.

Each tried to suppress the Half-Moon Fly’s toxin in their own way. Shangguan Qian restrained herself from circulating her internal energy, while Yun Weishan recalled what Han Yasi had once told her and suddenly thought of a solution.
