Chiyuan sent Zhu Yan the precious treasure of the Jiao Clan, Mingyue Xiaosao, and Zhu Yan wanted to bid farewell to the past by using this item. Although there was no technique to reunite souls in the world, Zhu Yan planned to continue practicing her skills to protect important people. She instructed her maid to send Mingyue Xiaosao to Jiuyi Mountain.

Lord Qing told Concubine Qing that he had discovered a suspicious little priest on Jiuyi Mountain, and Da Si Ming had caused him embarrassment because of this person. It was rumored that Da Si Ming had deep feelings for Bai Yan in his youth, and if Bai Yan hadn't insisted on marrying the King of Bei Mian, Da Si Ming wouldn't have secluded himself on Jiuyi Mountain. If Da Si Ming had secretly taken Shi Ying away and faked his death, then the little priest could possibly be Shi Ying. Lord Qing suggested that they hide Shi Ying's existence from the King of Bei Mian and quickly eliminate any future troubles caused by Shi Yu.

Lord Bai advised Bai Xuelu to consider the overall situation. Since Prince Shi Yu liked Xueying, they should do everything in their power to plan for her. Concubine Qing met with Bai Xuelu and asked her if she wanted to marry Shi Yu. Bai Xuelu naturally did not deny her desire to become the crown prince's concubine. When Concubine Qing asked about the matters on Jiuyi Mountain, Bai Xuelu mentioned her loss of consciousness upon entering the Emperor's Valley, speculating that there might be someone in the valley who didn't want others to know about. Bai Xuelu knew that Concubine Qing didn't appreciate her but wanted to use her. She confirmed that the person in the Emperor's Valley was the center of attention. She decided to get close to this person at all costs and gain an advantage for herself.

On Shi Ying's eighteenth birthday, Da Si Ming prepared a coming-of-age gift for him and planned to officially crown and grant him authority on an auspicious day, making Shi Ying an official disciple of Jiuyi Mountain. Da Si Ming sent out invitations for Shi Ying's discipleship ceremony to the six noble families. Both men and women from the six noble families could participate in the selection exam on the mountain. Those who passed the exam would become Shi Ying's registered disciples, and the most outstanding would become his first disciple, able to stay by his side for a long time. This disciple selection was also an opportunity for Shi Ying to gather support from various clans. In the future, these people would be helpful if Shi Ying wanted to achieve great things in the world. Shi Ying was unaware that Da Si Ming actually intended for him to eventually become emperor. According to the system, Emperor Jialan had to marry the legitimate daughter of the Bai family as his empress. Da Si Ming planned for the legitimate daughter of the Bai family to become Shi Ying's first disciple.

Shi Ying moved into the Qingxiu Hall with Chong Ming. Chong Ming prepared a birthday gift for Shi Ying and unexpectedly found a handkerchief hidden in Mingyue Xiaosao, which Zhu Yan had sent. Shi Ying used the excuse of not liking handkerchiefs to burn it. Lord Bai arranged for Xueying and Xuelu to go to Jiuyi Mountain to participate in the discipleship selection, and he warned them not to stand out too much on the mountain.

Zhu Yan also learned from her father that Jiuyi Mountain was preparing to accept disciples, but she hesitated because of Shi Ying. When she heard about Jiuyi Mountain, she couldn't help but think of the person who had denied her. Chiyuan advised Zhu Yan that she only needed to gain the recognition of the Prince of Shi Ying and not care about others' opinions. Zhu Yan talked to Chiyuan about her great-grandmother, not knowing that Chiyuan had known Zhu Yan's great-grandmother, Zhuo Yi, a long time ago. When Zhuo Yi was seriously injured, she instructed Chiyuan to live well and wait for her reincarnation as a Kongsang person, and she asked Chiyuan to protect their clan. Jiao people only loved one person in their lifetime, but Chiyuan couldn't remember the appearance of his loved one because of Zhuo Yi's technique. He could only wait for their reunion in the next life. Encouraged by Chiyuan, Zhu Yan finally decided to participate in the discipleship selection on Jiuyi Mountain and reunited with her friend Xueying there.

Zhu Yan aspired to become the first disciple of the Jiuyi Mountain Prince, while Xueying mentioned that there was intense competition because Xuelu also aimed to become the first disciple. This time, Lord Qing sent the leader of the Shadow Warriors, Qing Gang, to participate in the selection. If he was interested, there would be no other candidate for the first disciple.

Nobles from the six families came to participate in the disciple selection exam. Chong Ming worried that Zhu Yan would encounter Shi Ying, but Shi Ying believed that Zhu Yan's magical powers were average, and even if she happened to pass the selection, she wouldn't become his first disciple. The disciple selection rule was to form pairs, and many people from the six noble families intended to give gifts and form pairs with Qing Gang. However, Xuelu advised against using gifts to win Qing Gang's favor because he was not someone who would show mercy. As expected, when Qing Gang arrived, he collected the gifts and planned to distribute them to the nearby people as gifts from the gods.

Xuelu asked Qing Gang why he came to participate in the discipleship selection when he had already defeated Lord Chi. This made Zhu Yan very dissatisfied, but she also realized that Xuelu wanted her to quarrel with Qing Gang, which would violate the rules of Jiuyi Mountain and result in disqualification from the selection. Xuelu wanted to use Zhu Yan's hand to eliminate Qing Gang as a strong opponent, but Zhu Yan saw through her plan. Zhu Yan and Qing Gang agreed to have a duel after the disciple selection.

Da Si Ming held a coming-of-age ceremony for Shi Ying, and Zhu Yan learned that the person who denied her was the Prince of Shi Ying. She declared that she didn't want to participate in the selection and the Prince of Shi Ying didn't stop her. Shi Ying announced the rules of the competition: Xuelu and Xueying formed a pair, and Zhu Yan would compete alone, but she intended to wait for elimination.
