With just one glance, Yan Yue saw Wei Zhi's future: she was dressed in a red wedding gown, tears streaming down her face, and eventually perished in a sea of fire, causing him unbearable heartache. Upon learning this, Qing Huan warned Yan Yue not to let compassion cloud his judgment, as the fate of mortals was theirs to change. If Yan Yue insisted on interfering, he would face severe punishment according to heavenly rules. Yan Yue was well aware of the strict regulations, but he had no idea that Qing Huan was secretly tasked by the Heavenly Emperor to monitor his every move and prevent him from repeating past mistakes.

In the following days, the disciples officially began their training, while the demons from the demon realm kept a close watch, especially on Yan Yue's use of celestial spells. Wei Jingyue, still clinging to her spoiled behavior, bossed Wei Zhi around in front of everyone, only to be reprimanded by Yan Yue. Later, Yan Yue taught everyone the technique of teleportation, and Wei Lingyue, being exceptionally bright, quickly grasped its essentials.

It was because of this that Yan Yue mistakenly believed Wei Lingyue to be the phoenix and took her to the city wall to observe the suffering of the common people and guide her towards benevolence. Upon their return to the academy, Yan Yue assigned the disciples the task of copying the cultivation techniques and mantras a hundred times. The disciples complained, but they still obeyed their master's command.

As the others gradually left, Wei Jingyue intentionally assigned Wei Zhi the task of cleaning the entire academy, knowing that Ming Lang, who had witnessed her mistreatment, couldn't intervene. In the past, Ming Lang's father, Ming Chengwu, and the city lord, Gu Yuanshan, were close friends, and their children were betrothed to each other. However, in a case of rebellion, Gu Yuanshan and his father were wrongfully executed, and Lady Gu fled with her daughter, Gu Fengzhi, who later entered the Shangshu Mansion as a maid and changed her name to Wei Zhi. Now, they were reunited, but Wei Zhi didn't want to involve Ming Lang and they continued to pretend not to know each other.

The Wind God and the Thunder God reported to the Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Empress, bringing a joyful atmosphere with them. Xi Er brought pastries to lighten the serious mood. Yan Luo decided to stay in Yingzhou, but the Heavenly Emperor hoped he would stay in the heavenly realm. The Heavenly Empress knew her son had always enjoyed farming and weaving, so she helped persuade the Heavenly Emperor to grant Yan Luo's request. As Yan Luo's figure receded into the distance, the Heavenly Empress felt a complex mix of emotions. Recalling the visions she had seen before, she would rather see her son live a peaceful life without accomplishing anything, free from the treacherous center of power.

Wei Jingyue repeatedly caused trouble for Wei Zhi and often messed up her room, pushing Wei Zhi to her limit. She finally couldn't bear it and lashed out at Wei Jingyue, disregarding their respective positions as master and servant. Wei Lingyue, knowing her sister's spoiled and willful nature, apologized to Wei Zhi and offered to help with the laundry. As she looked at Yan Yue's clothes, memories of the scene on the city wall resurfaced, and she couldn't help but develop feelings for him.

Meanwhile, Yan Yue discussed Wei Lingyue with Qing Huan, but they couldn't determine if she was truly the phoenix. Although she had a pure spiritual root and exceptional talent, she might still be an ordinary person with extraordinary destiny. While they were talking, Yan Yue received a distress call from Xi Er. It turned out that Xi Er had accidentally entered the Pleasure Tower in search of good food, and Yan Yue had to rush to her aid.

Due to a heavenly decree prohibiting the use of immortal techniques to create silver coins, Yan Yue had to gamble to rescue Xi Er. As he left the Pleasure Tower, he ran into Wei Zhi, and faced with her misunderstanding, he couldn't defend himself. Yan Yue accompanied Wei Zhi on a shopping trip, and as he looked at her, he couldn't help but fantasize. Curious about her background, he asked Wei Zhi, who honestly revealed that she came from Gu City and had never been married.

Meanwhile, the Royal Tutor placed spies in the academy to search for the phoenix, and the person in question was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Xiao Jin. The Noble Consort took advantage of the Emperor's seclusion to spend time with the Royal Tutor. The Royal Tutor's ambitions went beyond seizing the throne; he also desired the phoenix, aspiring to gain supreme power and rule over the three realms.

On their way back, Wei Zhi and Yan Yue were unexpectedly robbed by a child, and when they chased after him, they discovered that the child's mother had passed away. Wei Zhi begged Yan Yue to use his immortal powers to save her, but Yan Yue believed that life and death were predetermined and beyond the interference of others. Besides, everything was subject to change, and a true cultivator should remain unperturbed even if the sky were to collapse. However, Wei Zhi found his words heartless and accused him of being no different from the privileged aristocrats who had never experienced the hardships of life and knew nothing of the lowly existence of ants.
