When Kang Yunhai hurried back to Yule Hall, the White-Clad Guest’s carriage suddenly stopped in front of him, stating that he had a great gift to offer. Kang Yunhai got into the carriage and found A Shu unconscious, lying inside. The White-Clad Guest revealed A Shu’s true identity. Kang Yunhai pretended to be shocked.

As they passed through the market, Kang Yunhai saw Yuchi Hua through the window and, using distraction as an excuse, asked the White-Clad Guest to take the back entrance while he exited the carriage early. Kang Yunhai deliberately bumped into Yuchi Hua, causing a chess manual to fall to the ground. Kang Yunhai mentioned that the chess manual was one of Yuan Mo’s prized possessions and hinted that many of Yuan Mo’s valuable items were in his hands.

He then quickly left, prompting Yuchi Hua to rush to Sifang Hall to inform Yuan Mo. Yuan Mo had already asked A Shilan about A Shu’s whereabouts, but A Shilan had not disclosed any information. After Yuchi Hua told Yuan Mo about her encounter in the street, Yuan Mo and Wang Kunwu speculated that A Shu was being held at Yule Hall, and that Kang Yunhai was out of options.

Yuan Mo signaled to Wang Kunwu that they should come up with a plan to rescue her. Yuan Mo and Wang Kunwu discussed various rescue strategies. When Wang Kunwu mentioned some common military tactics, Yuan Mo was inspired and decided to sneak into Yule Hall through the underground drainage system. The White-Clad Guest presented a Long Tuqi military insignia, ordering Kang Yunhai to publicly execute A Shu. Kang Yunhai couldn’t refuse, as doing so would immediately expose his identity.

Yuchi Hua led Yuan Mo and Wang Kunwu to the Huo family workshop to inspect the drainage system map. Huo Zian generously agreed to help and even gave Yuchi Hua a specially designed steel-wire soft armor for protection. He also offered Yuan Mo a weapon of his choice. At the entrance to the drainage system, they found the underground water flow surging. Huo Zian explained that recent mountain floods had increased the water level.

Wang Kunwu, concerned that Yuchi Hua couldn’t swim, began considering alternative plans. However, Yuan Mo entered the drainage system alone. That night, Kang Yunhai gathered all the guards at Yule Hall, preparing to publicly execute A Shu. The White-Clad Guest was watching. Just as Kang Yunhai was about to act, Wang Kunwu and Yuchi Hua suddenly descended from the sky, heading straight for the hostage.

Upon getting closer, they realized that the White-Clad Guest had used a female guard to impersonate A Shu. Yuchi Hua was stabbed, but fortunately, she had worn the soft armor in advance. Yuan Mo emerged from the drainage system into Yule Hall and quickly found where A Shu was being held. However, he was outnumbered, and after a brief struggle, he was captured and tied up as well.

In the ensuing chaos, Kang Yunhai snuck into the room and freed the two of them. Meanwhile, Wang Kunwu and Yuchi Hua injured some of the White-Clad Guest’s subordinates. As the four of them attempted to leave Yule Hall, they were intercepted by the White-Clad Guest. The Jingzhao Prefecture heard the commotion and surrounded Yule Hall.

Since Yuan Mo and Wang Kunwu had trespassed into a foreign embassy, they would face charges if discovered, so the four of them decided not to confront the White-Clad Guest and discreetly escaped through the back door. Kang Yunhai came out to greet the authorities, explaining that no disturbances had occurred at Yule Hall. However, the prefect, Lin Fuyin, didn’t believe him and personally went inside to check.

He found spearheads scattered on the ground, and Kang Yunhai explained they were used for soldier training. After the Jingzhao Prefecture left, Kang Yunhai scolded the White-Clad Guest for causing too much trouble, saying he couldn’t explain things to Long Tuqi. The White-Clad Guest, however, remarked that the real drama was just beginning. Yuan Mo felt guilty for repeatedly opposing Kang Yunhai.

A Shu comforted him, saying that both sides were acting in the interest of their respective countries, and Kang Yunhai would understand Yuan Mo’s position. Yuchi Hua felt that they could no longer keep Yu Deshui in the dark. The next day, the four of them told Yu Deshui and An Xiuyi about A Shu’s true identity. Yu Deshui became worried about how to deal with A Shilan.

An Xiuyi believed that the White-Clad Guest would undoubtedly use A Shilan to stir up more trouble and suggested they first imprison A Shilan in the Jingzhao Prefecture prison. A Shu agreed with the plan. Yuan Mo took A Shu to a new house, a courtyard near a bookstore. The two were happily imagining their future when Ji Mingli rushed in to inform them that A Shilan had been kidnapped.

The White-Clad Guest arranged for A Shilan to distribute money and food in the market, posing as Princess Yule. Kang Yunhai publicly declared A Shilan’s identity, and the refugees from Yule happily accepted the aid and left. An Yuandao believed they should find a way to expose the truth, but it was clear the White-Clad Guest had taken the lead for now.
