The fireworks were dazzling as Jun Qiluo and Xuan Lie enjoyed the display together, feeling elated. On the other side, Xuan Qingkou took the opportunity during the fireworks to suddenly kiss Shao Qimin, leaving him in shock. Just then, a performer accidentally collided with them, and Xuan Lie hurriedly pulled Jun Qiluo away to avoid the collision. However, he was injured in the eye and lost his sight.

Shao Qimin and Xuan Qingkou rushed over upon hearing the commotion, but by the time they arrived, Xuan Lie and Jun Qiluo had already managed to escape, leaving behind an eventful and unforgettable memory of the Spring Festival. After diagnosing Xuan Lie's injury, the imperial physician solemnly reported that his eye was severely damaged and that medicine had been applied. It would take at least half a month for him to recover.

The king was deeply worried, as the finals were only two days away, and Xuan Lie's injury would undoubtedly have a significant impact on the competition. However, Xuan Lie firmly assured the king that despite his eye injury, he would give his all and strive for victory. At this moment, Jun Qiluo was waiting anxiously outside the door. Upon hearing the news, Xi Zhangkun secretly rejoiced, planning to take advantage of the situation to defeat Xuan Lie.

Fortunately, Xuan Qingkou arrived with a new medicine, and Xuan Lie's condition showed some improvement. Xuan Lie, fully aware of the severity of his eye injury, knew that if he couldn’t recover in time, it could affect the larger situation. Hesitantly, he suggested to the king that, if the situation didn't improve, perhaps Luo Zhizhou could take over as the leader of the wolves.

However, the king immediately rejected this proposal, firmly believing that only Xuan Lie could hold the military power and ensure stability. The king’s stance was clear and resolute, and Xuan Lie chose not to argue further. On the other side, the queen dowager also approached the king to discuss the matter. She proposed that if Xuan Lie’s injury could not be healed, Xi Zhangkun should take over as the leader of the wolves.

The queen dowager emphasized that Xi Zhangkun was from her own clan and would surely be loyal to the king. But the king had other plans in mind. He was well aware of Xi Zhangkun’s ambition and feared that if he became the leader of the wolves, the king would no longer be able to control the situation. Meanwhile, the king of Yan Nan grew increasingly dissatisfied with Jun Feifan's delayed return.

The marquis seized the opportunity to spread rumors, claiming that Jun Feifan had already engaged in business dealings with Beixuan and had betrayed Yan Nan. The king was furious upon hearing this. Xuan Qingkou, meanwhile, brought marriage gifts to Shao Qimin, proposing to marry him. Shao Qimin firmly rejected, stating that he had come to Yan Nan only for Jun Qiluo. Furious, Xuan Qingkou demanded to know if Shao Qimin had never liked her.

Shao Qimin replied calmly that he had assumed this was something they both understood. The day of the competition finally arrived. This time, the competition rules had changed. It was no longer a simple test of strength, but rather a battle of both intellect and courage—a flag-placing contest. Whoever could first plant the flag in the designated spot would be declared the winner. Xuan Lie confidently led his team into the dense forest.

However, they were unaware that Xi Zhangkun had secretly set a trap to capture Xuan Lie and his group. Lord Sun and his subordinates, who had been following Xuan Lie closely, unfortunately fell into Xi Zhangkun’s trap and died unjustly. Upon hearing the news, Sun Zhaomin was heartbroken and rushed to the scene. Furious after learning of Lord Sun's fate, Xuan Lie confronted Xi Zhangkun and the others at the crucial flag-planting location, and a fierce battle broke out.

Xuan Lie angrily denounced Xi Zhangkun’s treacherous actions and insisted that he would never hand over the military power to someone as ruthless as him. After an intense struggle, Xuan Lie managed to defeat Xi Zhangkun and was about to plant the flag. However, Luo Zhizhou, standing nearby, did not intervene. Upon hearing the news of Xuan Lie’s victory, the king was overjoyed. Meanwhile, Sun Zhaomin and others stayed behind to guard Lord Sun’s body.

Xi Zhangkun pretended to come to pay respects, but was met with Sun Zhaomin’s furious reproach. At this moment, Jun Qiluo noticed an unusual arrow near Xuan Lie and was filled with a sense of foreboding. Meanwhile, Xi Zhangkun was urgently searching for his missing former soldiers, fearing they might expose his secrets. His plan was to silence them once they were found.
