Although the true culprit had been brought to justice, Gu Yu’s crime was the murder of a court official, so he was denied a complete burial and ultimately thrown into a mass grave. Bai Fengxi was invited to visit Lanyun Pavilion, where she learned it was also owned by Hei Fengxi. The name “Lanyun Pavilion” came from combining Feng Lanxi and Xiyun’s names. Hei Fengxi still had feelings for Feng Xiyun, but she no longer recognized him.

They had met once as children at the Liuhe Banquet, and he still remembered the youthful spirit she had back then. That night, on the way back from escorting Bai Fengxi, Hei Fengxi expressed his gratitude to her and also learned she disliked the court and preferred the freedom of the martial world. Bai Fengxi had once thought Hei Fengxi was overly scheming, but now she saw it was a product of power.

Given his ambition, he probably wanted more than just Yongzhou. If that day came, would they still be able to be as carefree as they were now? As Feng Lanxi, the Lord Yongping, was rooted in the court while Bai Fengxi yearned for freedom, she decided to depart for Misty Mountain the next day since Bai Langhua was gradually recovering. She bid farewell to Hei Fengxi.

As he watched Bai Fengxi leave, Hei Fengxi pretended to be indifferent, but in truth, he was hiding his reluctance to part. On the way to Misty Mountain with her fellow disciples, Bai Fengxi also felt a deep sense of loss. But since she and Hei Fengxi were not walking the same path, the only option was to leave early. Zhongli was curious why Hei Fengxi didn’t go to see her off in person. Hei Fengxi, however, was downcast.

Though he admired Bai Fengxi’s freedom and carefree nature, his own path was filled with deceit and conflict. Since their paths differed, he couldn't force it; a farewell would only deepen the attachment. After the imperial exam, Hei Fengxi was assigned an important task: personally overseeing the purchase of warhorses. He knew very well what the Lord of Yongzhou truly intended.

The horse buying was merely a pretext—he wanted to use Hei Fengxi to check the ambitions of the Prime Minister, creating a balance of power. So the matter had to be approached from two sides. Hei Fengxi instructed the Ren brothers to immediately inform Ruyuxuan and gather the merchant teams to head to Eastern Territory to trade horses. He also earnestly asked Feng Qiwu for help, hoping to find evidence of Wang Minghai's embezzlement before the caravan returned.

The Prime Minister personally entered the palace to meet with Madam Baili to discuss countermeasures. Although Madam Baili initially didn’t want to get involved, he threatened her using the Third Prince, Feng Ju. For the sake of her son, Madam Baili agreed to help her brother Wang Minghai and decided to send a "gift" to Feng Lanxi to ensure he would be attacked from both front and rear.

Following the Prime Minister's instruction, Wang Minghai had his merchants raise the price of horses in the Eastern Territory. Madam Baili instructed Feng Ju to leave the capital that night and borrow several thousand horses from Prince Ning. Hei Fengxi suspected that even if Wang Minghai was embezzling funds, he would still pretend to make the purchase, so he had Feng Qiwu start with the merchants to gather evidence.

This would surely offend many people, but that was the Lord of Yongzhou's real intent—he didn’t want the Prime Minister to grow too powerful and also wanted Feng Lanxi to lose public favor. Meanwhile, Huang Chao followed Yu Wuyuan to Misty Mountain, knowing he came for Elder Taiyin's legacy. Only through this could he obtain the mystical item “Lanyin Biyue,” which might break the Yu family curse.

However, Yu Wuyuan denied it, saying he came to solve the mystery so that the martial artists trapped here could leave. Coincidentally, Bai Fengxi and her group arrived, and the two parties decided to travel together. Unexpectedly, Misty Mountain was full of danger—maple leaves as sharp as blades that could slice through iron. Xiu Jiurong fell into a cave along with Bai Langhua while trying to save her.

Concerned for their safety, Bai Fengxi suddenly heard Elder Taiyin’s voice, who assured them the two would be fine and urged them to continue with the trial. Madam Baili summoned Feng Chang to the palace under the pretense of caring for her eldest son, appearing gentle and kind. But beneath the surface, she had the heart of a venomous woman. In truth, she never cared for her eldest son.

Introducing him to the daughter of the Duke of Qi was merely a means to her own ends. To outsiders, their mother-son bond seemed deep, but to Feng Chang, it was just manipulation. The Duke of Qi held power over three cities—Ming, Ping, and Yuan—and was always at odds with Feng Lanxi. If Feng Chang married the duke’s daughter, it would pit him directly against Feng Lanxi, forcing them into a deadly rivalry, with Feng Ju reaping the benefits.

However, since Madam Baili had too many spies, Feng Chang had no choice but to meet the duke’s daughter. The more time he spent with her, the more he disliked her. Likewise, Qi Cheng despised Feng Chang, mocking him as the illegitimate son of a palace maid. Madam Baili didn't care and forced Feng Chang to marry Qi Cheng; otherwise, their mother-son relationship would end.

Upon learning of this from Zhongli, Hei Fengxi realized Madam Baili could no longer sit still. She knew he had a good relationship with his elder brother, and this move was aimed at destroying the only brotherly bond he had left. With the military horse matter making Madam Baili uneasy, she would stop at nothing to deal with him, even using her own son. Hei Fengxi was not afraid of her, but he pitied his brother.
