Su Wuming felt thirsty and gently asked Qin Xiaobai if he could taste some wine, but unexpectedly met with a cold response from the other party. However, when Su Wuming mentioned the profound Zen-like phrase "monks are not monks, walls are not walls" which he encountered in the temple, Qin Xiaobai's attitude instantly changed, revealing strong interest.

He explained to Su Wuming that the painting before them was the concrete manifestation of this philosophical thought, and confidently predicted it would become a masterpiece passed down for centuries. Facing Su Wuming's further inquiry as to why he, possessing superb skills, had not yet dotted the eyes for the painting, Qin Xiaobai replied with a wry smile that the surrounding disturbances made it difficult for him to find inner peace to complete this crucial stroke.

This conversation not only demonstrated the subtle emotional exchange between the two, but also profoundly revealed the close connection between artistic creation and inner peace. Pei Xijun was overjoyed upon hearing Lu Lingfeng mention her following Qin Xiaobai, and playfully teased if Lu Lingfeng was feeling jealous. Lu Lingfeng, however, honestly stated he only felt admiration. Upon hearing this, Pei Xijun's heart felt even sweeter.

Seeing this, the Princess said that since Pei Xijun trusted Qin Xiaobai, she was willing to wait patiently for the situation to unfold. Although Cen Zhi was inwardly dissatisfied with the Princess's decision, he had no choice but to endure it. Xu Zhiyun's appearance added a festive touch to the atmosphere. His words of flattery made the Princess smile like a flower.

Just as everyone was preparing to leave, Pei Xijun keenly noticed that the cunning killer intended to harm Lu Lingfeng and urgently warned him to be careful. Facing a highly skilled opponent, even Ying Tao felt powerless. Lu Lingfeng and Ying Tao teamed up to pursue him, but the Demon King still escaped. Lu Lingfeng quickly gathered men to search, but the Demon King seemed to have vanished from the earth without a trace.

Lu Lingfeng and Pei Xijun exchanged opinions, both believing that the Demon King who appeared this time was not the same as the previous one, and his appearance was closer to the depiction in the mural. Soon after, Xu Zhiyun unfortunately fell victim to the poisonous hands of the three demonesses. Su Wuming questioned witnesses but could not ascertain the true appearance of the culprits.

At this moment, Qin Xiaobai added a few strokes to the mural, seemingly completing some kind of ritual. He was immersed in his own world, humming an unknown tune. As the Crown Prince, he was deeply worried about the demons rampaging through the Great Tang and harming the innocent. Chang'an City might once again be shrouded in fear. Upon learning that Xu Zhiyun intended to submit to the Princess but met with misfortune, Cen Zhi came up with a plan.

He intended to use this opportunity to guide the Princess's attention while also extending an olive branch to the Crown Prince, hoping for mutual cooperation to jointly deal with this sudden crisis. The Princess weighed the pros and cons and decided to give it a try, believing that although cooperation with the Crown Prince carried risks, it would not cause significant harm to herself.

Lu Lingfeng revealed to Su Wuming that Madam Ma's treasured horse had been ridden recently, and only its owner could ride it, speculating that General Ma might have secretly returned to the capital. Su Wuming used the subtle relationship between Lu Lingfeng and Madam Ma and arranged for him to go and inquire. Although Lu Lingfeng felt uncomfortable, he still carried out the task, using sweet words to entice Madam Ma to come out and successfully extract information.

After Madam Ma was apprehended, she confessed out of fear when questioned by Lao Zhou. It turned out that she had been defiled by Sun Wang, and black ointment was placed in her home, which she used by mistake, indirectly causing Sun Wang's death. Madam Ma revealed that her husband, General Ma, had secretly returned and spent a night with her before Sun Wang was killed.

She noticed General Ma's abnormal behavior after his return, grew suspicious, and later confirmed his identity, but was met with coldness. For revenge, Madam Ma deliberately indulged herself, attempting to provoke her husband. On the other side, Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming faked unconsciousness and joined forces with Lao Fei and others to capture the true culprit, the Demon King - Zhang Qian. The two had already become suspicious of Zhang Qian based on Pei Xijun's reminder.

Under Lao Zhou's pressing questions, Zhang Qian finally confessed. Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming deeply felt that this case was intricate and complex, like a tight net that was difficult to break through. Su Wuming resolved to meet the Emperor, and even if he faced the Emperor's wrath, he would insist on pursuing the truth.

In Qin Xiaobai's conversation with his junior brother, he revealed a premonition that Youguang's whereabouts were now clear, as well as a calm attitude towards the approaching Ghost Festival. His junior brother's worries highlighted Qin Xiaobai's confidence, and his words seemed to contain deeper meaning, prompting reflection.
