Jin Yu, as Bai King Xiao Chong’s second master, was normally reserved and had few friends or enemies in court. First to pay respects at his funeral were the three Grand Monitors. Jin Xian, closest to Jin Yu, examined the wounds and declared that the killer must be among them—their martial arts shared a common origin. Suspicion arose among the three until Grand Monitor Jin Xuan intervened to stop it.

Soon, Xiao Chong arrived at the funeral and, upon lifting the cloth to see his second master’s face, was overwhelmed with grief. In Xiao Chong’s imagination, Jin Yu should have been a reclusive scholar or a literary man who had seen a thousand sails. Yet he looked just as he did when they first met in childhood—unchanged. Because Jin Yu had shown him immense kindness, Xiao Chong was willing to give up his throne and empire to avenge him personally.

That night, Jin Xuan blamed Xiao Yu for being too reckless, but reassured him he had found a solution—a key figure who could shake all of Tianqi City: Xiao Lingchen, the long-hidden son of Lord Langya. Meanwhile, Grand Monitor Jin Yan visited Ye Xiaoying, using the Dragon Seal Scroll to persuade him to mobilize the army and welcome Xiao Lingchen’s return to Tianqi to seize the throne.

Now, Xiao Se was ninety percent certain that Jin Xuan was the one who killed Jin Yu. However, he felt it wasn’t yet the right time to tell Xiao Chong. Ye Ruoyi asked if Xiao Se liked Sikong Qianluo, and Xiao Se confidently stated that Ye Ruoyi liked Lei Wujie—because he carried the pure innocence, justice, and kindness that everyone once had. In recent days, Hua Jin had managed to stabilize Ming Dedi’s condition.

But unless the root of his mental illness was cured, no physical treatment would help. Ming Dedi, knowing the cause of his own affliction, began to speak of his past with Lord Langya. Even the deepest brotherly bonds could be corrupted in royal courts—eventually consumed by power and turning against family. Of the three great generals of the former Langya Army, Wang Pichuan was now waiting outside Tianqi City with Xiao Lingchen.

The General’s Manor had sent fifteen spies, and the information was passed to Xiao Lingchen. Meanwhile, Ji Xue arrived at Yong’an Royal Residence and informed Xiao Se of this, revealing the secret of the Dragon Seal Scroll. If the scroll had reappeared, it meant a coup was imminent in Tianqi. Xiao Se regretted that Ye Xiaoying shared his goals but differed in approach. That night, Ye Ruoyi returned home to see her father practicing calligraphy.

The character “forbearance” stood out prominently, raising her suspicions. Ye Xiaoying began recounting his time with Lord Langya—from their first meeting to battles fought together—and the injustice that befell Lord Langya. Every time he mentioned it, his gaze grew heavy with sorrow. To protect Ye Xiaoying, Lord Langya suddenly accused him of negligence in command and took away his military seal. Ming Dedi spared Ye Xiaoying’s life to prevent mutiny.

People believed Ye Xiaoying bore a grudge against Ming Dedi and refrained from acting out of fear. But Ye Xiaoying had swallowed his resentment for years, hoping one day to restore Lord Langya’s name. Though Ye Xiaoying admired Xiao Se, he knew that Xiao Se and Lord Langya were cut from the same cloth—capable and bold, but not ruthless enough. Ye Xiaoying believed that to reverse the case, one must become emperor. Otherwise, it would be rebellion.

Ye Ruoyi disagreed with her father and moved out of the General’s Manor to Yong’an Royal Residence, informing Xiao Se of her father’s plan. Xiao Se was shocked. His greatest fear was about to come true. Ye Xiaoying would soon gather the Langya Army and ally with Xiao Lingchen to launch a rebellion.

When hundreds of thousands of ironclad troops swept across the land toward Tianqi, countless civilians would suffer, and the surrounding states of Beili would seize the opportunity to strike. As for why the Dragon Seal Scroll had suddenly resurfaced, and what benefit Xiao Lingchen’s enthronement might bring to Xiao Yu, Xiao Se still couldn't figure it out. But he knew it was a trap.

Ye Xiaoying might have sensed it too, but he was so confident in himself that he believed he could turn the trap against its makers. Because the matter was so critical, Xiao Se immediately found Xiao Yueli and revealed everything. The Central Army of Wang Li, independent of the three main forces and solely responsible for defending the imperial city, would become part of the Langya Army once Xiao Lingchen arrived.

With 200,000 Langya troops attacking Tianqi and only 30,000 soldiers defending it, winning would be a fantasy. Xiao Se revealed that on his way back to Tianqi, he had been intercepted by soldiers and believed someone within the Xiao imperial family was colluding with Xiao Lingchen. He came to Xiao Yueli to plan a countermeasure.
