Yun Mu left the scene in despair. Su Ruofei, realizing she had made a mistake, hurried to apologize, but Yun Mu only wanted some peace and quiet. Xiao Qi, dissatisfied with Su Ruofei's actions, scolded her for betraying Yun Mu and nearly exposing him. However, Yun Mu couldn’t bear to scold Su Ruofei, so he took Xiao Qi and left. Later that evening, Xiao Qi brought some snacks to Su Ruofei, who innocently ate them.
Xiao Qi pretended to have poisoned the snacks to scare her, and then he revealed to Su Ruofei how hard things had been for Yun Mu over the years, including his hearing loss and the constant dangers surrounding him. He told her how happy Yun Mu had been when he first heard Su Ruofei’s drum sound. Feeling guilty, Su Ruofei promised she wouldn’t make the same mistake again.
Xiao Qi then left, telling Su Ruofei that the snacks only had flour in them and were not poisoned. Su Ruofei willingly wrote a letter of apology and sent it to Yun Mu, using a hand bell to play a melody as a gesture of remorse. Yun Mu forgave Su Ruofei and gave her the musical piece his mother had transcribed, practicing it with her. As they looked at each other, their hearts filled with affection.
This piece of music was Su Ruofei’s favorite, and she had even created different versions of it, hoping to one day play it for her idol, Lady Yaoshan. Yun Mu offered to take Su Ruofei to meet Lady Yaoshan, but Su Ruofei declined, feeling unqualified since she was not yet capable of entering the Huan Le Fang. For now, she wanted to be Yun Mu’s ears.
Yun Mu told her that ever since she came into his life, everything had changed. Embarrassed by Yun Mu’s passionate gaze, Su Ruofei shyly found an excuse to leave. Xiao Qi cleaned Yun Mu’s room, and Yun Mu thought Xiao Qi was trying to please him, so he granted Xiao Qi two days of rest. Xiao Qi expressed his loyalty, saying many heartfelt things, which moved Yun Mu, unaware that these were Xiao Qi’s final words.
After Xiao Qi left, Su Ruofei came in with a list Xiao Qi had given her, detailing Yun Mu’s preferences. Yun Mu suddenly realized something was wrong and rushed to Xiao Qi’s room, only to find him attempting to hang himself. Yun Mu managed to save him, and Xiao Qi confessed that, years ago, he had vowed that only two people would know about Yun Mu’s hearing loss. Now that Su Ruofei knew, Xiao Qi felt he deserved to die.
Yun Mu didn’t blame Xiao Qi and urged him never to harm himself again. Xiao Qi, grateful for Yun Mu’s forgiveness, was happy to continue following him. Yun Mu had been haunted by guilt ever since he failed to prevent the suicide of Chief Steward Wang and couldn’t bear the thought of losing Xiao Qi too. Yun Mu decided to go to the palace to plead with his father to let Su Ruofei join the Huan Le Fang.
Unexpectedly, Jin Shangyu was there as well. Both men realized the other’s intentions and raced to see the ruler. Together, they suggested holding another "Hidden Talent" competition to recruit new talented individuals. The ruler, seeing they had the same goal, readily agreed. Jin Shangyu hadn’t expected Yun Mu to be his rival this time, and he silently vowed to win.
Yun Mu brought the good news back to Su Ruofei, not only helping her restore her musical status but also giving her a chance to participate in the "Hidden Talent" competition. He also arranged for Master Ling to personally coach Su Ruofei on the guqin. Su Ruofei felt confident about the upcoming competition.
She went with Master Ling to the Huan Le Fang to practice, but she was worried about Yun Mu, so she came back to discuss it with him. She proposed that Xiao Qi take care of Yun Mu during the day while she snuck back at night to sleep with him. Yun Mu couldn’t help but spit out his water in surprise.
However, seeing how much Su Ruofei cared about him, he told her that everything had been arranged and she should focus on her practice. Word of the competition soon spread throughout the Huan Le Fang, and everyone knew it was Su Ruofei and Jin Shangyu who had jointly proposed the "Hidden Talent" competition. This made Su Ruoshan anxious, suspecting that Su Ruofei was coming back. Sure enough, during the roll call, Su Ruofei’s name was called, along with Huang Ying.
Yun Mu stayed outside the Huan Le Fang, wanting to see Su Ruofei. Xiao Qi suggested he should go inside, but Yun Mu, worried that his presence might affect Su Ruofei, preferred to watch from outside. During the first round of the competition, everyone performed well, and Yun Mu could hear Su Ruofei’s music from outside, thinking it sounded pretty good and that at least she wasn’t nervous.
As more people were eliminated, the competition advanced to the third round, where the difficulty increased. In the end, Wu Wei, Liu Xinnian, Huang Ying, and Su Ruofei stood out from the crowd and earned spots as new members of the Huan Le Fang. Su Ruoshan came to find Su Ruofei, playfully scolding her for not giving advance notice. Su Ruofei explained that she had been busy practicing and didn’t have time.
Su Ruoshan outwardly acted unconcerned and affectionate, happy to be with her sister again, but inwardly she was displeased. She remembered how, when she was accepted into Qing Yin, their father had given her the Qing Yin belt. However, her happiness was short-lived when she overheard people saying that Su Ruofei had already been accepted into Qing Yin long before her.
