The alliance of the five nations was successfully formed, and Sifang Hall began to award the accomplishments. The Eastern Courtyard was the first to sign the alliance agreement and awarded fifty ingots of silver. An Xiuyi was promoted to the position of Sifang Hall Inspector, a goal he had strived for years to achieve. Yu Deshui specifically asked An Yuandao to present the certificate. Additionally, a special position was created for Yuan Mo.

Yuan Mo felt unworthy of the honor and hesitated to accept it. Yu Deshui's face darkened, and Yuan Mo reluctantly took the position. Wang Kunwu received a transfer order from the Mingwei Mansion, requiring him to take up the new post the next day. When An Xiuyi returned home, he questioned why An Yuandao failed to recognize his efforts.

Although there was only one position for Inspector, An Yuandao had insisted on bringing Yuan Mo into the equation, seemingly to overshadow him. An Yuandao, in turn, became angry and criticized An Xiuyi for his narrow-mindedness, claiming he lacked the qualities needed for the Sifang Hall Inspector and regretted awarding the honor to him. Wang Kunwu hosted a dinner for his colleagues from the Western Courtyard, which everyone assumed was a celebration.

Yuchi Hua, having dressed up for the occasion, was surprised to learn from a notice from the Kingdom of E that Wang Kunwu was about to be transferred from Sifang Hall. As Wang Kunwu was handing out gifts, Yuchi Hua angrily interrupted, and it was then that everyone realized the transfer. Angry, Wang Kunwu took to wandering the streets, with Yuchi Hua following behind, asking if he was willing to leave Sifang Hall.

Wang Kunwu expressed his reluctance to leave without avenging his grievances, especially since the white-clad stranger had suddenly appeared. At that moment, Yuan Mo and A Shu arrived and threw some powder at Wang Kunwu, causing him to collapse to the ground, feeling weak all over. It turned out that Yu Deshui had shown the transfer order to Yuan Mo beforehand. Knowing that Wang Kunwu was unwilling to leave, Yu Deshui had A Shu prepare a paralyzing powder.

Feigning illness was just a temporary measure to keep Wang Kunwu from leaving. To make his stay official, Yuan Mo and A Shu sought clemency from the Duke of E. Although the Duke of E was somewhat favorable towards Wang Kunwu, his lack of openness with Yuchi Hua displeased him.

A Shu pointed out that Wang Kunwu did care for Yuchi Hua; recently, when Hong Ye had kidnapped Yuchi Hua and Bai Suqin, Wang Kunwu had saved them using military methods, preventing Yuchi Hua from being frozen to death. Back home, A Shu prepared some fine Lingxi wine to celebrate Yuan Mo’s promotion to Sifang Hall Inspector. Yuan Mo expressed that he did not desire a promotion.

His parents had worked diligently but had met a tragic end in the desert. Since A Shu came into his life, he had felt the warmth of home and wished to stay in Dayong forever. That night, they removed the curtains between their beds and merged them. A Shu slept with her head on Yuan Mo's arm, and the next morning, Yuan Mo’s arm was numb. He needed A Shu to feed him breakfast.

Sifang Hall received another transfer order for Wang Kunwu. Yuan Mo and his colleagues, looking disheartened, stood by Wang Kunwu's bed. Wang Kunwu, realizing he could not stay, began to say his farewells. Yuan Mo urged him to read the transfer order, which revealed that there was no need for him to leave Sifang Hall. It turned out that his colleagues had played a prank on him. Once his health was restored, Wang Kunwu specially thanked the Duke of E.

The Duke tested Wang Kunwu's skills and found his character and abilities commendable. He proposed that Wang Kunwu and Yuchi Hua discuss marriage. A farewell dinner was once again held for Wang Kunwu, who was to remain in his position. Yuchi Hua wanted to have a private conversation with Wang Kunwu, so she signaled for everyone else to leave early. Once they were alone, Yuchi Hua asked Wang Kunwu if his decision to stay was related to her.
