Su Wuming was filled with regret and stomped his foot in self-reproach. His original plan was to conduct the transaction at Xiaoyun Lou, but he accidentally alerted the enemy, and the lead on the wall-dwelling fish might be broken. Pei Xijun gently comforted him and suggested drawing a portrait of Liang Sima based on Liang Zhi's description. While grateful, Su Wuming still couldn't hide his sorrow.

Seeing this, Ying Tao encouraged him to cheer up and continue pursuing the painting manual. Immediately, Su Wuming summoned the painting shop owner and inquired about the details. The owner complained that it was due to Bi Chengye's coercion that he took the risk of selling youguang. Upon learning that the owner knew the source of youguang, Su Wuming's eyes lit up, and an idea came to him.

Lu Lingfeng woke up and immediately asked Fei Jishi for the current time. Fei Jishi, however, had a calm expression, showing no signs of guilt, claiming he had drugged Lu Lingfeng to help him sleep for his sake, fearing he was overly tired, and proudly displayed the meal he had prepared. Lu Lingfeng did not appreciate this. His heart was focused on the case, and he was eager to pursue the truth.

At this moment, Pei Xijun handed over a portrait of Su Wuming, wanting Lu Lingfeng to see it. Lu Lingfeng took the painting. Although he playfully teased that Su Wuming's painting skills were not as good as his own, his gaze quickly captured the novelty of the painting, realizing it was not an old work. He immediately became alert, suspecting he might have encountered a deception and that his train of thought had been unnecessarily interrupted.

Just as Lu Lingfeng was lost in thought, Pei Xijun mentioned the "north" clue related to the case. This reminder was like a wake-up call, instantly making Lu Lingfeng clear-headed. He realized this might be the key to the case. Thus, without hesitation, he put down everything he was holding, hurried out the door, vowing to investigate thoroughly and uncover the truth. Lu Lingfeng stepped into Dali Temple alone, his heart filled with dedication to the case.

As he turned, he sharply noticed a figure behind him. Looking closely, it turned out to be Elder Zhou. Lu Lingfeng firmly refused Elder Zhou's help, believing his path should be walked by himself. Elder Zhou, however, used his years of experience in the temple as a reason, proposing that if Lu Lingfeng encountered anything strange, he could call upon him for assistance. Lu Lingfeng remained unmoved.

While reviewing case files, Lu Lingfeng discovered a difficult case that everyone else avoided, but he decided to take it on. Just as he was about to leave, the temple abbot rushed over, claiming he had witnessed the death of Physician Li and revealing that Physician Li intended to perform a tree burial and that he himself had driven away evil people.

Lu Lingfeng became suspicious and wanted to investigate alone, but the abbot mocked him, believing he was overestimating his abilities. After arriving at the scene, Lu Lingfeng deeply felt the strangeness and danger of the place. Three women had ill intentions. He cleverly feigned sleep and repelled them while they were unprepared. Meanwhile, on the other side, although Su Wuming and Lao Jia and others were advised against it, Su Wuming insisted on going to investigate.

He found that the traders each had their own hidden agendas and did not know each other, so he secretly controlled them to ascertain the truth. Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming met unexpectedly. Elder Zhou's appearance made Lu Lingfeng question his loyalty again. Elder Zhou showed a look of shame, admitting that he was here to atone for his sins and explaining how he had secretly assisted Lu Lingfeng in finding the book without leaving the dark room.

Su Wuming followed Lu Lingfeng to the crime scene and personally dissected the body to search for clues. Facing the anger towards the officials' dereliction of duty, Lu Lingfeng ordered that the deceased be properly buried to comfort their spirits. Lu Lingfeng vowed to catch the true culprit and seek justice for Physician Li. His determination was firm and unshakable. Upon hearing the news of Physician Li's death, the abbot's sorrow was evident.

Su Wuming, on the other hand, acutely sensed that the departure of the monks might indicate the situation was becoming more complicated. The Princess saw Qin Xiaobai hesitating about the "dotting the eyes" matter and became worried, wishing to ask Pei Xijun for help. Qin Xiaobai stated frankly that he was unable to complete the dotting of the eyes. Cen Zhi took the opportunity to suggest that Pei Xijun take over, but Pei Xijun resolutely refused.

After the soldiers left, Qin Xiaobai couldn't help but feel a flood of emotions, expressing his inner feelings through song. Pei Xijun gently comforted Qin Xiaobai, advising him to put down the heavy burden and enjoy the pleasure of creation. She knew well that this painting was of extraordinary significance to Qin Xiaobai. It was not just a painting, but the crystallization of his life's work.

Pei Xijun's words were like a spring breeze and nourishing rain, making Qin Xiaobai suddenly enlightened. He realized he had been too focused on the result and had instead overlooked the pleasure of creation itself. Under Pei Xijun's inspiration, Qin Xiaobai seemed to have found a new source of inspiration. He gratefully called Pei Xijun his teacher, believing her advice had benefited him greatly. At this moment, Qin Xiaobai seemed to be freed from a heavy burden, regaining his passion and freedom for creation.
