Xuan Lie and Xuan Qingkou were ambushed, but Jun Qiluo and Shao Qimin arrived in time to help. The enemy outnumbered them, and the four of them were no match for the attackers. Both Xuan Lie and Shao Qimin were injured, and during the fight, Xuan Qingkou stepped into a animal trap. Fortunately, Shao Qimin discovered it in time and saved her.

They made their way to a village in the mountains, where Jun Qiluo recognized from their tattoos that the people there were mountain bandits. She lied, claiming they were merchants seeking a place to stay. To lower their guard, they pretended to be two married couples. Meanwhile, He Jiyao reported back to the palace and saw Luo Zhizhou and Luo Qi. The king was already resting, and Luo Zhizhou felt it would be best not to disturb him.

He knew that Xuan Lie was in the northern forest of the city, so he decided to personally lead a search party. He asked He Jiyao and Luo Qi to prepare for the upcoming hunting competition, as Xuan Lie was the best candidate to lead the wolf pack, and he was confident he could bring Xuan Lie back. Xuan Lie had always suspected that there were clues to be found in this area.

He believed the ambush in the forest was arranged by his longtime rival, Xi Zhangkun. However, he had not expected that this turn of events would provide him with the perfect opportunity to enter the village. Jun Qiluo, however, did not share his view. She reasoned that Xi Zhangkun had no knowledge of Shao Qimin's existence. Shao Qimin had received a warning that he was in danger, so he had come to the forest without giving it much thought.

Xuan Lie, feeling jealous of the attention Shao Qimin received from Jun Qiluo, became upset. To show his appreciation for Jun Qiluo, Xuan Lie gave her a hairpin that he had crafted himself. Jun Qiluo had given up her own hairpin to the bandits earlier that day in exchange for staying in the village. To stay a few more days in the village, Xuan Lie and Jun Qiluo decided to teach the villagers how to identify medicinal herbs.

Otherwise, they would have to trade wild game for herbs when they returned to the town, which would save them a lot of effort. The village chief agreed to their proposal. Luo Zhizhou had sent people to search the mountains all night but had not found any trace of Xuan Lie and his group.

He reported to the king that he had increased the number of men searching for the princess and Xuan Lie, but in truth, he was hoping to delay Xuan Lie's return until after the hunting competition. Shao Qimin learned from Xuan Qingkou that the Xuan Iron Crystals were in Xi's territory. Since Xuan Lie had no Xuan Iron Crystals, Shao Qimin realized that Xuan Lie had deliberately kept Jun Qiluo behind.

He found an opportunity to inform Jun Qiluo and speculated that Xuan Lie’s real goal was to use her to find Jun Feifan. Shao Qimin thought that now was the perfect time to leave, and decided to part ways with Jun Qiluo and meet up at a safe location later. The upcoming merchant conference required the Jun family’s merchant license, so Jun Qiluo needed to retrieve it.

Jun Qiluo confronted Xuan Lie, hoping he would hand over the merchant license, so they could go their separate ways. As she spoke, Shao Qimin appeared behind Xuan Lie, holding a sword to his back and demanding the license. In an effort to keep Jun Qiluo with him, Xuan Lie intentionally bumped into Shao Qimin's sword, knowing that even if he got revenge for the past, he would never allow Shao Qimin to take Jun Qiluo away.

Jun Qiluo, seeing Xuan Lie injured, felt deeply saddened and stayed by his side. Although Xuan Lie’s injury was not serious, he and Jun Qiluo made a new agreement. If she could help him find evidence of Xi Zhangkun trafficking in arms, he would also help her find the Xuan Iron Crystals.

The villagers expelled Xuan Lie and his group, but from the village chief, they learned that the villagers had once been part of the army but had been framed and fallen into this situation. Xuan Lie promised that if they cooperated with him, he would ensure they could live a stable life again. Xuan Lie revealed his identity as the leader of the Xuan clan and explained that the old case was deeply related to the Xuan clan.

Helping them was essentially helping himself. The villagers' enemies were Xi Zhangkun, who had framed Xuan Lie’s father in the investigation of the arms case, leading to his death. Xuan Lie was determined to investigate this case thoroughly and avenge his father.
