The people of the second branch were secretly discussing matters, and the son of the second branch was full of confidence, believing that since Jun Feifan was absent this year, the eldest uncle would surely come in person, and at that time, the Jun family would be under their control.

The head of the second branch harbored doubts, but his son was sure of the outcome, claiming that he had a way to ensure that the eldest uncle would come personally. Jun Qiluo expressed her desire to go to Xixiang, believing that even if she couldn't transport goods back, it would still be appropriate to make the trip to Xixiang. Meanwhile, Jun Jiangjuan tried to secretly go out but was caught by her father, who sternly stopped her.

Jun's father warned her that the border area was extremely dangerous, and he had already asked the Xiang family for help. The Xiang family had agreed to assist in finding Jun Qiluo, and the bodyguards he had hired were already on their way. Jun Jiangjuan felt dissatisfied, thinking that since Jun Qiluo could go, why couldn't she?

However, her father countered, saying that Jun Qiluo had been traveling for many years and had rich experience, while Jun Jiangjuan had never gone far from home. Jun Qiluo revealed to Xuan Lie the purpose of her trip. She had originally planned to buy incense stones in Xixiang. Upon hearing this, Xuan Lie suggested that there were incense stones for sale in Beixuan as well.

Jun Qiluo explained that if she purchased through their usual channels in Xixiang, she could get a pre-agreed low price, but if she turned to Beixuan, that discount could not be guaranteed. Xuan Lie promised that if Jun Qiluo was willing to go to Beixuan, he would ensure that she got the same low price as in Xixiang. After weighing the pros and cons, Jun Qiluo accepted Xuan Lie's offer.

Xuan Lie took Jun Qiluo’s necklace as a token between the two of them. Jun Qiluo hesitated slightly, but then suggested that if Xuan Lie truly wanted to use this as a token, she should also offer something in return. She then took Xuan Lie's treasured dagger, which held great sentimental value for him, as it had been his father's heirloom. Seeing this, Xuan Lie felt reluctant but understood Jun Qiluo's intention and silently allowed her to keep it.

After arriving in Liangzhou, Xuan Lie's first priority was to pay respects to Luo Zhizhou's biological mother. Luo Zhizhou's mother was a woman from Xixiang, of low status, and was merely a concubine of the Luo family. In order for Luo Zhizhou to inherit the family business, his father had adopted him into the main wife’s household, which meant that Luo Zhizhou's biological mother could not be enshrined in the Luo family’s ancestral hall.

Luo Zhizhou deeply cared for his mother and had secretly buried her here. Xuan Lie silently expressed his gratitude, believing that it was the blessing of Luo Zhizhou’s mother that allowed him to meet Luo Zhizhou and be saved during times of danger. Xuan Lie’s purpose in coming to Liangzhou was to gain the support of the Sun family. Sun Zhaomin, the princess of Liangzhou, had been saved by Jun Qiluo during a time of crisis.

This year, Liangzhou had suffered a drought, and the birthday banquet for the madam had been canceled. Xi Clan's Xi Zhangkun, who had a familial connection with Madam Sun, brought food supplies to Liangzhou to help relieve the immediate crisis. As the only daughter of the Sun family, Sun Zhaomin had always carried the heavy responsibility of protecting Liangzhou. She had trained diligently in martial arts, and the spear she chose was exceptionally heavy.

Jun Qiluo deeply resonated with this, as she had also experienced the unfair treatment of women in society. Sun Zhaomin had long been aware of Jun Qiluo's true identity. Xuan Lie aspired to become the Wolf King, not only for power but also to uncover the truth behind his father’s murder by the heir of the Baigong clan. Back then, the former king and the queen dowager had classified the incident as an accident to stabilize the situation.

Now, the king had promised Xuan Lie that if he could become the Wolf King, the case would be reopened for investigation. Therefore, one of Xuan Lie’s key objectives during this trip was to gain the support of Lord Sun. Meanwhile, Jun Qiluo’s father had an audience with the king, expressing concern over Jun Feifan's disappearance. He believed that Jun Feifan, being so familiar with the routes, would not have gotten lost.

In secret, the second branch was scheming, delighting in the thought that once Jun Qiluo couldn’t return, the Jun family would fall into their hands. As night fell, Shao Qimin seized the opportunity, quietly taking out his weapons, intending to deal with the two human traffickers. All of this was witnessed by Xuan Qingkou, who had been secretly observing from the door.
