Late at night, the jade mirror by Xu Qi'an's pillow transmitted a message. Hengyuan, Number Six in the group, shared news: he had previously placed many orphans he had saved in the Anji Hall for care. However, just yesterday, the Anji Hall was discovered by government officials. Worried about the children’s safety, he rushed there, only to find that the officials were actually cleaning and organizing the hall, with no intention of targeting him. Hengyuan was puzzled.

Not only were the officials aware of the orphans, but they also treated the situation kindly. He couldn’t figure out who was behind this act of kindness and asked the group for answers. Xu Qi'an claimed ignorance, but after putting down the jade mirror, he recalled reporting Hengyuan’s situation to Wei Yuan in the past. Wei Yuan had instructed him not to intervene further. It was likely that Wei Yuan had secretly taken care of it.

Recently, the Nightwatchers received a tip about a demon beast in Dahuang Mountain. Li Yuchun led Xu Qi'an and his team to investigate. During the mission, Xu Qi'an learned more about Wei Yuan from Li Yuchun. Wei Yuan was not only highly intelligent and meticulous but also a paragon of virtue and an exceptional martial artist. He had once single-handedly defended against an army of one million during a siege, turning the tide of battle and earning widespread admiration.

However, after founding the Nightwatchers, Wei Yuan voluntarily abandoned his martial arts and never spoke of his past accomplishments again. While investigating Dahuang Mountain, Xu Qi'an encountered Chu Caiwei, who was using her Qi-watching technique to interrogate suspects. Chu Caiwei attempted to detect lies but found no useful leads despite questioning many individuals. Xu Qi'an examined the case files closely. The victim, Liu Han, had been found dead in his study, sitting upright in his chair in a respectful posture.

The time of death was incredibly swift. Despite interviewing numerous people, they uncovered no valuable clues. Exhausted from her Qi-watching efforts, Chu Caiwei relied on Xu Qi'an to assist in questioning Zhou Chixiong. Zhou claimed that while on night duty, he saw no intruders. Furthermore, many soldiers were stationed nearby, and Liu Han's study showed no signs of a struggle or footprints. The situation was baffling! While patrolling the area, Xu Qi'an and his colleagues came across Sangbo Lake.

They shared stories about the site, where the founding emperor of the Great Feng Dynasty had once discovered the Nation-Stabilizing Sword. After three years of meditation by the lake, the emperor’s martial arts greatly improved, enabling him to lead victorious campaigns and establish a unified China. Since then, successive emperors had visited the lake to offer sacrifices and uphold tradition. Lin An, noticing Xu Qi'an stationed nearby, became worried he might encounter the Eldest Princess.

She quickly ordered her guards to instruct the Nightwatchers to stay away. Standing by Sangbo Lake, Xu Qi'an felt uneasy and vaguely heard cries for help. Intrigued, he listened closely as the sound became clearer. Alarmed, he asked the two colleagues beside him if they heard anything, but they hadn’t. Xu Qi'an felt a sharp headache, a sense of panic, and weakness as he strained to discern anything unusual around him.

As the sacrificial ceremony began, attendees solemnly lit incense in prayer. Suddenly, the lake’s waters roiled violently, and the Nation-Stabilizing Sword burst through the roof of the main hall. Arrows flew everywhere, plunging the scene into chaos. Shouts of “Protect the Emperor! ” rang out, but Wei Yuan immediately ordered his men to secure the Empress instead. Before entering the palace, the Empress and Wei Yuan had shared mutual affection. However, due to family opposition, their feelings were ultimately suppressed.

Seeing arrows flying toward Lin An, Xu Qi'an leaped to her side, shielding her in his arms and deflecting the surrounding projectiles. Held tightly by Xu Qi'an, Lin An experienced a profound sense of safety she had never felt before. Eventually, the chaos subsided, and the Nation-Stabilizing Sword returned to its original position.

Emperor Yuanjing entered the main hall alone to reinforce the seals, sneering that no matter how strong a first-rank official was, they were merely prolonging their life by a few years. Xu Qi'an later discussed the secrets of Sangbo Lake in the group chat. Everyone speculated wildly, sharing gossip both true and false. Meanwhile, Lin An sat in her palace, racking her brain for a strategy. During the ceremony, Xu Qi'an had addressed her as the Eldest Princess.

Now that the Eldest Princess was aware of Lin An's identity, Lin An feared Xu Qi'an might learn the truth and turn against her in the future. A clever maid suggested a bold plan: why not recruit Xu Qi'an as her consort?
