Han Ziqing wasn’t sure if Jun Beiyue had truly responded to her, so she leaned closer to hear better. To her surprise, Jun Beiyue raised his hand, gently touching her head, and stopped her from moving. When Han Ziqing slightly turned her head, she realized that Jun Beiyue had woken up. Overjoyed, she couldn't contain her happiness.

She asked him why he was pretending to sleep, and Jun Beiyue replied that he wanted to hear what she had been saying earlier. Embarrassed, Han Ziqing sat up quickly. Jun Beiyue then asked her why she had come. Han Ziqing explained that she had left Tianque in the hands of Prince An. Jun Beiyue praised her for handling things well and teasingly asked if she came because she missed him.

Han Ziqing remained silent, and Jun Beiyue told her that he had long regarded her as his wife. Shortly after, Old Gu and Yingzi returned. They were overjoyed to see the prince awake. Jun Beiyue explained that once his internal energy had recovered, he had become aware of everything around him and knew that Jiang Chen and Su Ying were the ones who had harmed him.

However, he suggested that they keep the news of his recovery a secret for now and wait to see what would happen next. Meanwhile, late at night, Jiang Chen ignored Mei Ting's attempts to stop him and insisted on going out. Su Ying stood guard outside, aware that Jiang Chen was going to meet someone from the Bai family. She warned him to be cautious and not to think he could rise to power by stepping on the Lu family.

Jiang Chen shamelessly dismissed her concerns, prompting Su Ying to slap him, deepening his hatred for the Lu family. The Lu family patriarch received an invitation to the qin gathering at Qinse Valley. Lady Lu suggested not attending, but the patriarch insisted, as it concerned their ranking. He hoped that Jun Beiyue could help revitalize the family’s reputation, though Lady Lu’s heart leaned more toward their own child.

Yingzi conveyed the news to Han Ziqing and Jun Beiyue, explaining that Qinse Valley was the place where Xuanyuan Lige had once practiced the qin with Han Ziqing’s mother. Jun Beiyue knew they had to attend because uncovering Han Ziqing’s true identity was the most important thing at the moment. He even told Han Ziqing that she didn’t need to hide her identity anymore.

With that, Han Ziqing went to speak with the Lu family patriarch, who readily agreed to let her go. Su Ying immediately relayed the news of Han Ziqing and Nianbei’s (Jun Beiyue's) trip to Qinse Valley to Jiang Chen. Jun Beiyue asked Han Ziqing to help him change clothes. Embarrassed, Han Ziqing hesitated, saying she wasn’t used to it. Jun Beiyue didn’t push her, instead telling her that he could wait.

Soon after, Han Ziqing and her group arrived at Qinse Valley. The Lu family patriarch gave her a brief introduction, and Han Ziqing was curious about who exactly the Bai family was. Soon, the two elders of Qinse Valley announced the start of the qin gathering, and Xuanyuan Lige performed. Many in the audience were affected by the music, but Han Ziqing, knowing that Xuanyuan Lige was playing under someone’s instruction, remained unaffected.

Xuanyuan Lige also knew she wouldn’t be disturbed, and all of this was observed by Jun Beiyue from above. Then, the young master of the Bai family suddenly appeared and stepped directly onto the stage. Han Ziqing immediately sensed that he was not someone to be trifled with. To everyone’s surprise, the young master proposed that they combine the ranking competition with the qin gathering, offering the Fusang seed as a prize.

The two elders of Qinse Valley were so pleased that they agreed. The Lu family patriarch panicked but had no choice but to send Jiang Chen to compete. The result was a complete defeat, with Jiang Chen barely holding his own. Su Ying, fearing a similar outcome, didn’t dare to step forward, so Han Ziqing volunteered. Though Han Ziqing wasn’t familiar with the Lu family’s techniques and was at a disadvantage, her skill in sound-based attacks gave her an edge.

In a critical moment, Han Ziqing pulled out a dagger and made a startling discovery—the young master of the Bai family was actually a woman. The Lu family patriarch burst out laughing, realizing that the Bai family had no male heir after all. In the end, the Bai family retreated in defeat, leaving the Fusang seed in Han Ziqing’s hands.

Holding the precious seed, Han Ziqing declared that she didn’t dare to keep it all to herself and decided to auction it off, starting the bid at one tael of silver, with the highest bidder winning. The crowd was excited, and Xuanyuan Lige suddenly called out a bid of ten thousand taels. All eyes turned toward him, and just then, Jun Beiyue approached, raising the bid to thirty thousand taels.

The Lu family patriarch introduced Jun Beiyue to the crowd, and Jiang Chen and Su Ying were instantly filled with panic. Jun Beiyue, meanwhile, was invited to join the gathering.
