Now that the Lord of Yongzhou has grasped too much information about the Fountain Abode, it’s only a matter of time before he traces it back to Feng Lanxi. Feng Ju, in no rush to make this public, is eagerly awaiting his second brother’s countermeasures. In Feng Ju’s view, Hei Fengxi may appear righteous on the surface, but he truly disregards the lives of others—otherwise, how could he turn a blind eye to the fate of Ruyu Pavilion?

However, Hei Fengxi was unconvinced and countered by asking Feng Ju if he was truly confident in their father's choices—between his son’s life and the power of the Fountain Abode, which was more important? Yet Feng Ju already knew that the Tianshuang Sect was planning a prison break, and he stated that those people were no match for the imperial guards. As expected, Hei Fengxi’s expression changed instantly at those words.

Feng Ju grew even more smug, declaring that both the Tianshuang Sect and Ruyu Pavilion were doomed to a tragic end. Meanwhile, Bai Jiande led a group of disciples to the prison but was ambushed. Knowing that this incident was due to him, Hei Fengxi felt he had to be the one to resolve it. He boldly revealed his identity and submitted a memorial.

The Lord of Yongzhou was furious, and when Zhang Zhongge tried to speak on Feng Lanxi’s behalf, the Lord was too enraged to listen. Hei Fengxi knelt outside the palace, refusing to leave, determined to plead guilty before his father. The Lord of Yongzhou agreed to give him a chance. Though only a few dozen steps separated them, the Lord insisted that he approach on foot. Having knelt for half the night, Hei Fengxi nearly collapsed upon rising.

As he took each step forward, the imperial guards struck him with batons. Despite this, the Lord of Yongzhou showed no pity. He even remarked that Hei Fengxi was no longer the Yongzhou’s Prince Yongping but the renowned Hei Fengxi. By the time Hei Fengxi reached him, he was covered in wounds and coughing blood. The Lord of Yongzhou turned and left without giving him a chance to speak.

Yuan Lu, unable to bear it, urged Hei Fengxi to return home and recover. But Hei Fengxi refused to give up. After enduring the ordeal, he finally gained entrance to the hall and personally paid respects to the Lord of Yongzhou. Unexpectedly, the Lord asked him with biting sarcasm what identity he now claimed, and what ulterior motives lay beneath his exterior. Hei Fengxi admitted that he created the Fountain Abode initially for self-preservation, and later to protect others.

He also explained how he had once feigned illness to stay in bed while secretly learning martial arts, and vowed that all the Fountain Abode’s income would be used for the people. The Lord of Yongzhou condemned him for forming cliques and harboring selfish motives, accusing him of treason. From the moment Hei Fengxi hid the truth, he had become no different from traitors and rebels.

To prove his innocence, Hei Fengxi offered to give the Fountain Abode to the Lord of Yongzhou. But the Lord not only wanted the Abode, he also sought to abolish Hei Fengxi’s martial arts by forcing him to drink a wine that would dissolve his internal power. Pressured relentlessly, Hei Fengxi drank the wine with a heavy heart.

The Lord immediately issued an edict conferring Feng Lanxi the title of Marquis Yongping and ordered him to represent Yongzhou in the upcoming suitor selection in Youzhou. When he married Hua Chunran in the future, that would mark the release of the martial artists. Upon hearing what happened in the palace, Bai Fengxi stayed at Hei Fengxi’s bedside for three days until he finally woke up. Overjoyed, she hugged him tightly.

But Hei Fengxi, having lost all his internal power, could barely withstand the intensity of her embrace. He sighed that after pretending to be sick for so many years, he no longer had to fake it. Bai Fengxi was disheartened by his words and comforted him, reminding him that in the martial world, Hei Fengxi had never won through force, but through strategy and cunning. Zhongli personally brought medicine and updated Hei Fengxi on the Fountain Abode.

They had withdrawn most of their main forces, leaving only a few people listed by name. Although the Fountain Abode now belonged to the Lord of Yongzhou on the surface, as long as the core remained, it would still obey Hei Fengxi’s command. Just then, an imperial edict arrived, ordering Hei Fengxi to depart for Youzhou immediately.

Knowing it was for the suitor selection, Bai Fengxi decided to accompany him—ostensibly to protect him—and jokingly said she wanted to see the famed beauty of Dadong’s celestial maiden. On the other hand, Hua Chunran had a safe journey thanks to Huang Chao and others escorting her. Huang Chao already knew her true identity but acted indifferent, neither overly flattering nor attentive, perfectly showcasing his charm and increasing his chances of winning.

The master of the Duanhun Sect reported to Yu Wuyuan about the situation in Yongzhou and the news that Hei Fengxi had lost his martial power. Yu Wuyuan was shocked that Hei Fengxi would give up the Fountain Abode and his inner strength. Upon learning that Hei Fengxi himself was heading to Youzhou, Yu Wuyuan became thoughtful and resolved to take this chance to eliminate him once and for all.

Before Hua Chunran entered the palace, the Lord of Youzhou had already learned about the attack on his daughter and flew into a rage. Seeing her return safely, he was finally relieved and rushed forward to check on her. Meanwhile, Bai Jiande and others were still imprisoned. An elderly cellmate noticed the jade pendant in Bai Jiande’s hand and became excited, revealing that he was once Dadong’s top jade sculptor.

He had been invited by the Lord of Yongzhou to carve a giant Buddha statue but was imprisoned afterward instead of being allowed to leave. The old man stated the pendant came from the Yu family of the Imperial Capital. The Yu family had commissioned him years ago, but their lineage had short lives, and he was unsure if any descendants remained. Bai Jiande repeatedly questioned the man for confirmation. Once certain, he began to suspect the true mastermind behind Qiong Qiong.
