Shen Shen and Zhang Chengling bid farewell. Shen Shen wanted to find Gao Xiaolian first and send her to Mount Dagu. He was worried something might happen to him, so he asked Zhang Chengling to take Gao Xiaolian to Four Seasons Manor. Zhang Chengling promised to take good care of her, which put Shen Shen at ease to leave. Wen Kexing was unconscious for a whole day and night. Gu Xiang stayed by his side without leaving.

Zhou Zishu came to take her place in caring for Wen Kexing and learned from her that Wen Kexing often fell into unconscious states as a child. Zhou Zishu checked Wen Kexing’s pulse, and Wen Kexing seized the moment to tightly grab his hand. Wen Kexing had been taken in by the Chief of Ghost Valley since childhood and was trained to become the king of evil and the king of ten thousand poisons.

Wen Kexing woke up and found out that Zhou Zishu had let Shen Shen go. He flew into a rage, originally intending to kill Shen Shen to avenge his deceased parents. Zhou Zishu felt that Shen Shen, Gao Chong, and the others had suffered from guilty consciences for so many years, but did not deserve death. Wen Kexing refused to accept that, insisting on killing Shen Shen.

Zhou Zishu didn’t want to see him kill again and said he should focus his energy on the real enemy, Zhao Jing. Wen Kexing had no choice but to let it go. The Scorpion King imprisoned Liu Qianqiao and Luo Fumeng in a dungeon. Luo Fumeng remained dazed.

The Scorpion King heard that drinking Meng Po Soup would make one forget the person and things one was most obsessed with, so he ordered Liu Qianqiao to find the formula for it and promised to release her once she succeeded. In fact, Wen Kexing had been forced to drink Meng Po Soup since childhood, but the deep-seated hatred never left him. Every time he thought of it, his head throbbed with pain.

Wen Kexing swore to kill all his enemies. Gu Xiang blamed him for not saying anything sooner and promised to help him take revenge. Wen Kexing didn’t want to drag her into it and told her to go live a quiet life with Cao Weining in the Qingfeng Sect. Gu Xiang was unwilling to part from Wen Kexing.

She had initially approached Cao Weining to help Wen Kexing investigate the whereabouts of the Glazed Armor, but later gradually developed feelings for him. Gu Xiang was worried that Cao Weining would eventually discover her true identity, so she didn’t dare accept his feelings. Wen Kexing promised not to harm the Qingfeng Sect and told Gu Xiang to keep her identity hidden. Wen Kexing called Cao Weining aside and admitted that he had saved Gu Xiang as a child.

The two of them depended on each other and endured much hardship. Wen Kexing regarded Gu Xiang as his own sister and asked Cao Weining to take her back to the Qingfeng Sword Sect the next day and never let her down for life. Cao Weining swore to the heavens that he would protect Gu Xiang forever and be good to her for the rest of his life. Only then did Wen Kexing feel relieved.

Zhou Zishu overheard their conversation and couldn’t help teasing Wen Kexing. Zhou Zishu didn’t understand why Wen Kexing was in such a hurry to send Gu Xiang away and asked him to play matchmaker. Wen Kexing snatched the wine pot from Zhou Zishu’s hand and found that the wine was sour and bitter, hard to swallow. Zhou Zishu realized his sense of taste was fading.

He calmly agreed that after they returned to Four Seasons Manor, he would dig out the fine wine hidden in the plum grove for Wen Kexing to enjoy. Early the next morning, Cao Weining prepared a carriage and luggage, planning to take Gu Xiang back to the Qingfeng Sword Sect. Wen Kexing, Zhou Zishu, and Zhang Chengling came to see them off. Wen Kexing “gave” Gu Xiang to Cao Weining for free, and Cao Weining promised to marry her with proper rituals and ceremonies.
