After seeing many injured people near the dam, Bai Fengxi sets up a clinic in the city. Hei Fengxi helps her and shares the workload. When night falls, they return together. Bai Fengxi complains of back pain from sitting too long, so Hei Fengxi gives her a massage. It’s so comfortable she dozes off. Just then, Zhong Li reports on the situation at Ruyu Pavilion.

Hei Fengxi immediately orders the Ren brothers to guard Liang City and prepares to return to Yongjing the next morning. As Zhong Li leaves, Hei Fengxi prepares to carry Bai Fengxi to her room, but she suddenly wakes up, boldly admitting she pretended to sleep and insists on returning to Yongjing with him. The two embrace under the moonlight. On the road, the escort for the Youzhou Princess is ambushed.

Luckily, Hua Chunran had anticipated danger and wasn’t in the carriage but hiding nearby. She narrowly escapes. Investigation reveals that the attackers were sent by the Hereditary Prince of Youzhou—her brother—who wants to kill her to eliminate competition for the throne. Now that Hua Chunran’s identity as the Celestial Maiden is known across the land, gossip abounds, glorifying her legend. While at a teahouse, she overhears nearby chatter and feels proud.

Just as she’s about to leave, she encounters a refugee mother and child. Seeing the elderly woman coughing, Hua Chunran sympathizes and allows them to travel with her, using them as cover. News of the princess’s disappearance spreads to all provinces. The Lord of Youzhou grows anxious and sends men to search. Meanwhile, Huang Chao believes that a woman like Hua Chunran would have made backup plans and muses that having her by his side would be far from dull.

Yuan Lu reveals that Hei Fengxi met Feng Xieyue in Liang City—if Qingzhou and Yongzhou form an alliance, their strength would greatly increase. Like Hua Chunran, Feng Xiyun is now also renowned across the land. Yuan Lu asks Huang Chao which woman he would choose. Unexpectedly, Huang Chao confidently says he would choose Hua Chunran for now and ally with Youzhou to fight Jizhou. After taking the throne, he believes he can win Feng Xiyun too.

Moreover, Qingzhou is far from Jizhou, and with war imminent, he must not overlook the near for the distant. Since the Hereditary Prince of Youzhou tried to kill his sister, Huang Chao thinks Hua Chunran shows extraordinary survival skills. If she wants Youzhou, she’ll need outside help—making him more valuable. That night, Hua Chunran and her attendants stay at an inn. The mother and child secretly drug the group. Everyone is poisoned.

Hua Chunran barely escapes, yelling for help and bursting into Huang Chao’s room. The man posing as a refugee hides his dagger, but Huang Chao subdues the two and saves Hua Chunran. Traumatized, Hua Chunran faints. When she wakes, she thanks Huang Chao and calmly prepares herself to continue traveling. Her composure impresses Yuan Lu, who praises her. Hua Chunran smiles and says her appearance reflects her spirit—she must stay strong even at her lowest.

Considering the dangers ahead, she requests Huang Chao escort her further to Youzhou. In Qingzhou Palace, Feng Xieyue reports on Liang City and his encounter with Feng Lanxi. Learning that Feng Lanxi is the Second Prince of Yongzhou, the King of Qingzhou warns his son to remain cautious. But Feng Xieyue trusts Feng Lanxi and vouches for his character, explaining their story. The King of Qingzhou acknowledges Feng Lanxi’s talent and meticulousness.

If he is sincere, his daughter Feng Xiyun will not suffer. But knowing the Lord of Yongzhou’s temper, if he discovers that Feng Lanxi is Hei Fengxi of the Fountain Abode, he won’t take it lightly. If it comes to that, as long as Feng Lanxi truly cares for Feng Xiyun, Qingzhou will always stand by her. Recently, the king gave Feng Xieyue his governance strategies, saying someone must protect Qingzhou after he is gone.

Hei Fengxi secretly returns to the capital and meets Ren Rusong at a private residence. He learns about the sudden incident at Ruyu Pavilion and how suspicious it seems. No clues have been found in either court or the martial world after over half a month. Other Ruyu Pavilion shops outside Yongjing remain unaffected. Hei Fengxi and Bai Fengxi both suspect the Lord of Yongzhou. Fortunately, the Lord of Yongzhou still doesn’t know Hei Fengxi’s true identity.

Zhang Zhongge presents his findings, shocked by the scope and management strength of the Fountain Abode. If used for the state, such a person would be invaluable. But if Hei Fengxi refuses to submit, he could become a dire threat. In that case, the Lord of Yongzhou would rather destroy him than let others gain this power. Bai Fengxi arrives near the Ministry of Justice and sees people frequently coming and going.

Several crates are soon moved to the outskirts—inside are the Ruyu Pavilion’s manager and staff. Meanwhile, Ren Rusong suspects that Feng Ju will take advantage of the situation and urges Hei Fengxi to lie low. But Hei Fengxi refuses—he founded the Fountain Abode to protect people, not to abandon them. As the Ministry of Justice finds nothing, Feng Ju petitions the Lord of Yongzhou. If the mastermind doesn’t appear within three days, all of Ruyu Pavilion’s people will be executed.

Sensing danger, Hei Fengxi knows he must act cautiously to avoid falling into a trap. Bai Jiande decides to lead his disciples to rescue Ruyu Pavilion’s people. They will claim the title of the Fountain Abode’s master to keep Hei Fengxi out of a dilemma, knowing it’s the only way to protect him. Unbeknownst to them, Feng Lanxi had gone alone to meet Feng Ju, and the brothers were engaged in a head-on confrontation.
