A burly man climbed out of the water. Upon seeing Jiang Xinbai's face, Yan Nanxing immediately sensed trouble. However, Jiang Xinbai, who suffered from face blindness, recognized her as a young woman based on her clothes and hairstyle, startling Yan Nanxing. She assumed he couldn't see clearly in the dark. Out of goodwill, Jiang Xinbai offered her a hand to help her up.

Fearing her disguise would be revealed, Yan Nanxing heard the sounds of pursuing soldiers and quickly climbed up, crawling around in a panic to find a hiding spot. Due to her plump body, she couldn't find a suitable place and ended up on Jiang Xinbai's bed. Jiang Xinbai was astonished by this scene. Yan Nanxing continued to run around, and Jiang Xinbai noticed that the person's hands and feet were those of a man.

Why was he disguised as a woman? Deputy Li led the soldiers in pursuit. Jiang Xinbai dealt with him alone. Realizing Jiang Xinbai intended to help her, Yan Nanxing, without much thought, decided not to implicate him. She got up and ran, drawing the soldiers away. The General's residence issued a wanted order for Yan Nanxing and her mother. Jiang Xinbai thought these two women must be extraordinary and decided to leave the city to find them.

After four or five days without reverting back, Yan Nanxing was very anxious, lying on a tree talking to the moon. A lightning bolt struck, causing her to fall and revert to her original form. Gui Yi Liang had been waiting for Yan Nanxing to come to her, but instead, Jiang Xinbai showed up. On her journey, Yan Nanxing passed by an inn and was splashed with horse manure but had no time to change clothes due to her urgency.

Jiang Xinbai, after tying up Gui Yi Liang, questioned what Yan Nanxing and her mother were doing among the river barbarians and offered to ensure Yan Nanxing's safety. Naturally, Gui Yi Liang wouldn't reveal anything, so Jiang Xinbai gagged her upon hearing approaching hoofbeats. When Jiang Xinbai stepped outside, he saw Yan Nanxing, still reeking of horse manure and dressed as a man. He gave her some silver to rest elsewhere. Yan Nanxing was initially surprised he didn't recognize her.

Hearing sounds from inside, she mistakenly thought there was danger inside and that Jiang Xinbai was warning her, so she took the silver, thanked him, and left. Her actions reminded Jiang Xinbai of Yan Nanxing, but he had no time to ponder this as Gui Yi Liang knocked him out. Gui Yi Liang and Yan Nanxing reunited but soon quarreled and parted ways, with Yan Nanxing asking her to inquire about a certain young man.

After Gui Yi Liang left, Jiang Xinbai arrived. Yan Nanxing intended to thank him properly, but he threw a bundle of rope at her, telling her to tie herself up first. Yan Nanxing wanted to resist but was tied up by Jiang Xinbai. Jiang Xinbai intended to question her about her dealings at the General's residence, but she saw through his intentions, realizing he never meant to help her from the start.

Soon, more soldiers arrived, and Jiang Xinbai jumped into the water with the rope, causing Yan Nanxing to faint from lack of oxygen. Jiang Xinbai kindly gave her some air, shocking Yan Nanxing when she saw it. They woke up on the shore, where Jiang Xinbai treated her wounds and untied her. They had been swept here by a swift current. Jiang Xinbai, with a keen sense of smell, detected the scent of gui grass.

He found a large patch of gui grass nearby, which at such a dosage could be highly toxic. Yan Nanxing discovered a little girl poisoned by the grass. They carried her to a nearby household, but the residents were unwelcoming and tried to drive them away. Seeing the girl's life in danger, Yan Nanxing insisted she was a doctor and could save her, thus they were allowed to stay.

Jiang Xinbai realized the residents were Lanna people, whose country had been destroyed, and they dared not seek doctors, but the gui grass wasn't planted by them. A grandmother pleaded with Yan Nanxing to save the child. Yan Nanxing, moved with compassion, immediately went up the mountain with a bamboo basket to gather herbs. Jiang Xinbai, skeptical of her medical skills, still offered his help.

There were no young people in the village, likely due to the toxicity of gui grass. The little girl thanked Yan Nanxing upon waking, making her happy for saving a life. Jiang Xinbai went alone to the gui grass field, knowing the village would never be at peace while the grass remained. Yan Nanxing decisively set it on fire. The grandmother was terrified, knowing those who planted the grass wouldn't let them off.

But Jiang Xinbai reassured her that no one would force them to plant gui grass again.
