Xuanyuan Lige and his sister arrived in Nanzhao from Dongling, followed shortly by Chu Feiyan from Xiling. Chu Feiyan remained as arrogant as ever, while Xuanyuan Lige's sister was equally proud. She didn’t like Chu Feiyan and deliberately brought up Han Ziqing, suggesting that she would likely arrive with the Fourth Prince. Xuanyuan Lige knew what she meant and simply ignored her. Soon, Jun Beiyue and Han Ziqing also arrived.

Under the guidance of the Nanzhao King, they toured the courtyard before preparing to rest. Unexpectedly, Princess Nangong Qianqian appeared and started chasing after Situ Haonan, who quickly ran away. Nangong Qianqian then turned her attention to Han Ziqing, pressing her about her relationship with Situ Haonan. Han Ziqing ignored her and went inside to change clothes. Jun Beiyue asked Nangong Qianqian to sit down and introduced her to Han Ziqing.

When Han Ziqing finished changing and came out, only Situ Haonan was still there, as Jun Beiyue and Nangong Qianqian had already left. Situ Haonan teased Han Ziqing, asking if she wasn’t afraid that Jun Beiyue would be stolen away. Han Ziqing calmly ate a banana and brought up Nangong Qianqian, causing Situ Haonan to fall silent and leave.

Meanwhile, Concubine Qin of Nanzhao suggested that they conduct the "Divine Guidance" ceremony in Fog Valley as a way to test Han Ziqing's identity. Jun Beiyue and Han Ziqing were also studying the Nanzhao map, with their target being a mysterious ice pool. However, Nanzhao didn’t allow free movement. Jun Beiyue suggested that they go openly and with authority, meaning that if the Divine Guidance pointed towards Langya Mountain, they would pass by the ice pool.

This way, they could visit it openly! Han Ziqing knew the so-called Divine Guidance was manipulated by someone, so she quietly said that they should ensure the guidance points to their destination. The next day, everyone participated in Nanzhao’s unique activities. While everyone was quietly paying respects, Nangong Qianqian kept pestering Han Ziqing with questions about Situ Haonan. Han Ziqing ignored her, but Qianqian continued causing trouble, eventually knocking into Chu Feiyan behind her.

The Nanzhao King, enraged, ordered both of them to be thrown out. Chu Feiyan used the excuse of needing to bathe and change clothes to leave on her own. As for Nangong Qianqian, Han Ziqing spoke up on her behalf, preventing her from being expelled. Grateful, Qianqian now considered Han Ziqing her best friend. During the Divine Guidance ceremony, both Nanzhao’s side and Han Ziqing’s side were secretly manipulating things, but Han Ziqing prevailed!

The Nanzhao King was furious, but Concubine Qin quickly suggested that traveling via Lingshui River would have the same effect as going through Langya Mountain. The medicine valley people agreed, and the Nanzhao King’s anger subsided. Han Ziqing soon received news that the route had been changed to the river, though they couldn’t figure out why.

Baili Weisheng returned and visited his master, who warned him not to focus on the island people, as it would cause trouble if his golden merman identity was discovered. Baili Weisheng explained that he became a bounty hunter to help his master live a better life. His master advised him to stay at home, as they were about to leave with the king. Hearing that Han Ziqing might be there, Baili Weisheng insisted on going along.

Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Lige secretly met with Concubine Qin to gather information. She was upset that he was always focused on Han Ziqing. Xuanyuan Lige explained that there was nothing between him and Han Ziqing, which made Concubine Qin happy. She then mentioned that the Nanzhao King had taken an interest in Han Ziqing and planned to test her identity. Though she didn’t provide details, she promised to continue investigating. Soon, everyone boarded the ship to Langya Mountain.

Not long after, Jun Beiyue was called by the Nanzhao King to play chess. Before leaving, he reminded Han Ziqing to stay safe. Xuanyuan Lige then appeared quietly, warning Han Ziqing to be cautious of a trap. As Han Ziqing was pondering this, Concubine Qin arrived and invited her along. Unable to refuse, Han Ziqing joined the group, with all the women gathering on the deck.

Suddenly, someone appeared behind Han Ziqing and, following a signal from Concubine Qin, pushed her into the water. The water was known to be poisonous, and no one dared to save her. Xuanyuan Lige arrived in time to rescue Han Ziqing, but Concubine Qin's people claimed that the antidote was not on the ship, only bringing a blanket. As someone covered Han Ziqing with the blanket, she suddenly dragged Concubine Qin into the water as well!
