Zhu Yan was hidden in Shi Ying's sleeve, but due to her current technique, she couldn't leave temporarily. Da Si Ming asked Shi Ying about his opinion on potential disciples, but Shi Ying replied that he had just met all four of them, and his understanding was shallow, so he didn't dare to make a hasty judgment. Da Si Ming asked Shi Ying about his opinion on Zhu Yan, and Shi Ying mentioned that although Zhu Yan was courageous and righteous, she had inherent dullness, recklessness, and stubbornness. Shi Ying praised Bai Xuelu for her soft exterior but strong interior and unwavering determination, considering her as someone with great potential.

Upon hearing Da Si Ming belittle her, Zhu Yan became infuriated and wrote down the derogatory words on a piece of paper from Shi Ying's sleeve. Unexpectedly, the paper fell out, and Shi Ying, who had already left, saw the words on his sleeve and transferred them to Zhu Yan's hand, using them as constant reminders for her. Zhu Yan wanted Shi Ying to remove the words from her hand, but he used them as leverage to persuade her to stay and listen to his teachings.

The writings on Zhu Yan's hand were seen by the other six important figures, who mocked her. However, Zhu Yan didn't consider the words as a punishment from Da Si Ming; instead, she mocked Bai Xuelu for not receiving special treatment from Da Si Ming. On her first day of class, Zhu Yan was late and lost points. She thought it was a deliberate mockery from Da Si Ming, but Bai Xuelu explained that the automatic scoring system accounted for the deductions, and the princess of the Xuan clan confirmed that the system was widely used. To resolve the situation, Zhu Yan suggested that the princesses of the Bai and Xuan clans donate the scoring system to the West Wild Academy, making it difficult for them to refuse.

Da Si Ming sought out Shi Ying and informed him that he received news of Qing Gang bringing the poisonous Magpie's Footsteps technique into Jiuyi Mountain. Since Qing Gang had passed the assessment, it was inconvenient to revoke his privilege of listening and learning. Da Si Ming warned Shi Ying to be cautious of Qing Gang. During class, Zhu Yan felt sleepy due to the boring curriculum. When questioned by the priests, she expressed her belief that the theories were of little use, and she only wanted to learn powerful techniques. Shi Ying asked Zhu Yan about the most powerful technique in Jiuyi Mountain, but she couldn't provide an answer, while Bai Xuelu displayed extensive knowledge of Jiuyi Mountain's techniques. Zhu Yan believed that Bai Xuelu's answer was incorrect, but Shi Ying explained that the most advanced technique was borrowing power from the void of time, which could change the course of everything. Faced with Shi Ying's guidance, Zhu Yan had no choice but to accept the penalty and agreed to transcribe the introductory section of the Yuan Void Classic three times.

Qing Gang asked Zhu Yan to help him obtain a strand of Da Si Ming's hair during her visit to the Qingxiu Hall, as he believed it would aid in the advancement of his technique. Zhu Yan agreed to assist Qing Gang in exchange for his guidance in deciphering the meaning of the transcribed Yuan Void Classic.

Da Si Ming personally summoned Bai Xuelu and learned that she admired him and was willing to follow him on the path of cultivation. Da Si Ming appreciated Bai Xuelu's dedication and gifted her with the method of the primary technique in Jiuyi Mountain to support her studies, while also asking her to keep an eye on Qing Gang. Three days later, Zhu Yan went to the Qingxiu Hall to deliver the transcribed scripture as her punishment. Shi Ying carefully reviewed her work word by word and explained that the penalty was intended to compensate for Zhu Yan's lack of theoretical knowledge.

Zhu Yan attempted to massage Shi Ying's shoulders to help him in return for her assistance to Qing Gang, but she was rejected. She purposely approached Shi Ying and tried to pluck a strand of his hair when he was off guard, but he anticipated her actions due to her proximity. In order to improve Zhu Yan's reading speed, Shi Ying specifically taught her the technique of transmitting information through books. For the evening meal, Shi Ying prepared tea, soup, and rice, which Zhu Yan was displeased with. However, considering that there were no other evening meals available at Jiuyi Mountain, she reluctantly stayed to eat. After learning the technique of transmitting information through books, Zhu Yan noticed significant progress and apologized to Shi Ying for her previous rudeness in class. Shi Ying had a favorable attitude toward Zhu Yan's willingness to learn from her mistakes and promised to answer any questions she might have in the future. As a reward, Shi Ying specially prepared additional fish and meat for Zhu Yan, but it was unexpectedly snatched by Chong Ming.

Zhi Yuan's eyes emitted a blue light, reminding him of his father's words that the presence of blue light indicated a connection to the Dragon God. He speculated that the sleeping Dragon God was somewhere near Jiuyi Mountain. Zhu Yan personally crafted a clay figure as a token of gratitude to Shi Ying, but he stated that she was just a named disciple and would leave after a month, so there was no need for such grand gestures. However, Zhu Yan believed that even with only one month, she should fulfill her duty as a disciple and intended to comb Shi Ying's hair as a show of respect.
