Wen Kexing immediately recognized that Zhou Zishu was using the Flowing Cloud Nine Palaces Steps of the Four Seasons Manor. He gave Gu Xiang a harsh lesson and took her away. Zhang Chengling, noticing Zhou Zishu’s profound martial arts despite his low profile, greeted him warmly and gave him a name card, inviting him to visit Mirror Lake Manor if needed. Zhang Chengling, in a hurry to buy pastries for his mother, left first.

Hearing children sing songs about the Five Lakes Alliance vying for martial supremacy and the Glazed Armor, Zhou Zishu was struck by how unpredictable the martial world had become. Zhou Zishu woke a nearby boatman, intending to go to Mirror Lake Manor by boat. The boatman took advantage of the opportunity to ask for an exorbitant fare. Zhou Zishu didn’t bargain. Seeing how sickly Zhou Zishu looked, the boatman hesitated to exploit him.

Wen Kexing and Gu Xiang arrived just in time and offered to take Zhou Zishu to Mirror Lake Manor. The boatman wouldn’t relent and dragged Zhou Zishu onto the boat and set off. From afar, Zhou Zishu saw that Mirror Lake Manor resembled a paradise. He rushed over, forgetting to pay upon disembarking. The boatman furiously scolded him, but Zhou Zishu decided to take a free ride for once.

Using lightness skills, he quickly entered the peach blossom grove of Mirror Lake Manor and was intoxicated by the floral scent. Wen Kexing suddenly attacked from behind, forcing Zhou Zishu to fight. After a few rounds, Wen Kexing admired Zhou Zishu and invited him for a drink and chat, but Zhou Zishu firmly declined. Zhou Zishu arrived at Mirror Lake Manor and learned from the steward that Sect Leader Zhang Yusen had long since withdrawn from martial affairs.

He had three sons: Zhang Chengfeng, Zhang Chengluan, and Zhang Chengling, and forbade them from meddling in sect rivalries. The steward housed Zhou Zishu in the woodshed. At midnight, the Seven Torments Nails began to take effect. Zhou Zishu was in unbearable pain and had to use all his energy for self-healing when he suddenly heard loud commotion outside. Zhou Zishu opened the door to find Mirror Lake Manor engulfed in flames.

He leapt to the roof to observe and saw masked individuals rampaging, killing, burning, and looting—likely Ghost Valley people. He immediately went to rescue others. Zhang Yusen and his sons Zhang Chengluan and Zhang Chengfeng were captured. Almost everyone in Mirror Lake Manor was slaughtered, corpses littered the ground. The boatman protected Zhang Chengling in their escape but was pursued by Ghost Valley members. Zhou Zishu saved them and helped them escape by boat.

In the distance, he saw Wen Kexing watching leisurely from a pavilion. Zhou Zishu took the boatman and Zhang Chengling to an abandoned temple. The boatman explained that Zhang Yusen had once saved his life. He had been ferrying in front of Mirror Lake Manor for three years to repay the favor. He urged Zhang Chengling to go to Tai Lake to find Hero Sanbai, but Zhang Chengling refused to leave.

As the wind howled outside, a group of masked attackers burst in. A man claiming to be Hanging Ghost shouted to capture Zhang Chengling. Zhou Zishu, exhausted, needed to rest for half an hour. The boatman fought Hanging Ghost but gradually lost strength and was knocked down. Hanging Ghost tried to kill Zhou Zishu, but Zhang Chengling protected him with all his might. Gu Xiang arrived just in time and fought fiercely against Changing Ghost and other devils.

Hanging Ghost tried to kill Zhang Chengling, but the boatman threw himself in front to shield him, receiving serious injuries. Gu Xiang was surrounded by devils. Zhou Zishu struggled to his feet to help her and drove all the devils away. Weak from exhaustion, he nearly collapsed. Wen Kexing arrived and caught him in time. The boatman, on the verge of death from blood loss, was sustained by Wen Kexing's internal energy.

He asked Zhou Zishu to entrust Zhang Chengling to Zhao Jing of the Five Lakes Alliance and made Zhang Chengling kneel to Zhou Zishu in gratitude. Zhou Zishu agreed. After saying his final words, the boatman passed away. Zhou Zishu helped Zhang Chengling bury the boatman. Exhausted, Zhang Chengling fell asleep. Zhou Zishu decided to rest for the night before continuing. Wen Kexing asked Gu Xiang to light a fire and roast some rations for Zhou Zishu and Zhang Chengling.

Zhou Zishu, saying he wasn't hungry, refused to eat. Gu Xiang mocked him, and Zhang Chengling also refused her food, prompting a scolding from Gu Xiang, who rebuked him for being ungrateful. Zhang Chengling repeatedly apologized. Seeing Zhang Chengling severely injured, Wen Kexing offered to treat him, but Zhou Zishu refused. The two soon began fighting over their disagreement.
