Hei Fengxi was well aware that the Lord of Yongzhou was only allowing him to go to Youzhou as a backup plan, so this time, what he sought was not the princess, but to regain the Lord of Yongzhou's trust. In contrast, when Huang Chao heard that the Hereditary Prince of Youzhou had been confined, he believed that the Prince of Youzhou must have disagreed with him. Once the confinement ended, the prince’s position would likely be at risk.

The key issue was that the four sons of the Prince of Youzhou were all lacking in talent and learning, unable to shoulder great responsibility. At today’s court assembly, many officials from the Censorate submitted memorials, indicating that there was another reason for the confinement. As for Hua Chunran, she was chosen as Dadong’s Celestial Maiden and returned to Youzhou less than half a month before toppling her elder brother.

This aroused Huang Chao's interest; he was eager to obtain this woman, believing that having her by his side for life would bring peace to the world. On the eve of the marriage selection, Hua Chunran ordered her maids to dress Bai Fengxi, but Bai Fengxi, drowsy and swaying, bluntly stated that she only wanted to defeat everyone except Hei Fengxi so that no one else would have the nerve to propose to Hua Chunran.

Hei Fengxi came to bid farewell to Hua Chunran, while Hua Chunran kept Bai Fengxi in the palace, claiming she had a favor to ask. On the way back, Hei Fengxi was tailed by assassins and was ambushed in an alley, where he discovered they were killers from the Duanhun Sect. Although he had lost his inner power, he had learned battlefield combat skills and was able to deal with the thugs.

But at a critical moment, another extremely skilled fighter appeared, someone who knew the technique Lan Yin Bi Yue. Fortunately, Bai Fengxi appeared in time and barely managed to drive the attacker away. That evening, while tending to his wounds, Hei Fengxi reflected on the day’s events and became increasingly convinced that the opponent used Duanhun Sect’s techniques.

Though the internal energy resembled Lan Yin Bi Yue, the technique was unrefined and unlike one gained through cultivation—more like it had been stolen. He suspected it was the work of a mysterious person from Yongzhou. Because of this, Hei Fengxi believed the matter was related to Qiongqiong Juxu, and that the Duanhun Sect was acting under their command to overthrow Dadong’s rule, which would bring chaos to the world.

Hei Fengxi made a pact with Bai Fengxi to change this fate, which happened to match Bai Fengxi's intentions. Soon, it was the day of the spouse selection. Hua Chunran unexpectedly discovered that Huang Chao was the gentleman who had once saved her at the inn, and that Hei Fengxi and Feng Lanxi were the same person.

Upon realizing this, Hua Chunran immediately went to report to the Prince of Youzhou, stating that Hei Fengxi had a close relationship with Bai Fengxi and could use her to get close to her. His intentions were not to win the selection but to approach Youzhou with ulterior motives.

To further observe him, Hua Chunran decided that the next day’s palace exam would be based on the “Vast Endgame,” a puzzle created by Elder Taiyin and Elder Tianji, later renowned throughout the land. It was said that if one could solve it, they could predict the conflicts of the world. Given Hei Fengxi’s exceptional intellect, this might be the only thing that could stump him.

If he truly solved it, then he was destined to be the future unifier of the world—and Hua Chunran would be willing to marry him. During the following martial arts contest, Bai Fengxi disguised herself as Hua Chunran and performed a piece on stage, then announced the challenge.

The first round required each Hereditary Prince from the six states to leap from the pavilion to the lotus-picking platform, allowed to step on flowers across the lake but not use any tools—those who fell into the water would be disqualified. Yu Wuyuan was certain Hei Fengxi, having lost his inner power, would not pass easily. But with Bai Fengxi’s secret help, Hei Fengxi passed with ease.

This caused Huang Chao and Yu Wuyuan to notice Bai Fengxi, recognizing that among all the women in the world with profound martial arts and the courage to impersonate a princess, only she could fit the description. After Huang Chao cleared the round, he confessed his feelings to Bai Fengxi privately, promising that when he ruled the world, he would make her his empress and that she would be his one and only wife.

Despite his sincerity, Bai Fengxi remained unmoved—she had no interest in becoming empress and could not accept a future husband who might take other wives. She refused him without hesitation. The Prince of Youzhou received the list of those who passed the lotus platform challenge and was glad to see both Huang Chao and Hei Fengxi included. He commented that Hei Fengxi’s actions were difficult to predict—his thoughts deep and terrifying. In the six-state struggle, Youzhou might be devoured.

Though the Prince knew Hua Chunran genuinely loved Feng Lanxi, especially knowing he was Hei Fengxi, when comparing with Huang Chao of Jizhou, the latter was no lesser man. Moreover, Huang Chao promised to help Youzhou attack Qingzhou, making Qingzhou as good as theirs. Therefore, the Prince of Youzhou believed that if Hua Chunran had to choose a husband, she should prioritize the Hereditary Prince Huang Chao.

Though Huang Chao sought domination, he used righteous means, which still gave Youzhou a chance of survival. Hua Chunran understood the prince’s reasoning and could only go along and see how things unfolded. In private, Yu Wuyuan spoke with Bai Fengxi, asking her view on the six-state situation and subtly revealed he knew she was Feng Xiyun from Qingzhou.

Meanwhile, Hei Fengxi successfully passed the martial test and anticipated the palace exam featuring the “Vast Endgame”—a key part of his plan. Having lost his martial arts, the power of the Fountain Abode had waned. If he wanted to compete for the world, he needed another method. If he could truly solve the endgame, then he could avert the coming disaster. Hei Fengxi promised Bai Fengxi that after tomorrow, when the Youzhou situation was settled, he would personally accompany her back to Tianshuang Sect.
