Baili Dongjun and Ye Dingzhi ended up in a tie, surprising everyone present. Ye Dingzhi admitted defeat graciously and handed the sword to Baili Dongjun. Unexpectedly, Wen Luojiu threw the sword away and left with Baili Dongjun. Baili Dongjun was puzzled as to why his uncle dragged him away, especially since he hadn't done anything wrong and only wanted to befriend Ye Dingzhi. Wen Luojiu told him not to concern himself with such matters, and they left together.
When others pursued them, Ye Dingzhi stood in their way, asking them not to rush and indicating that he wasn't to be taken lightly. As the others prepared to attack Ye Dingzhi, his companion arrived and insisted on being included in the fight. Meanwhile, Wen Luojiu and Baili Dongjun had already left, with Baili Dongjun falling asleep in the carriage. Half-asleep, he mumbled about possibly missing something important.
In their childhood, Baili Dongjun and Ye Dingzhi were best friends, always together with Yi Wenjun. They enjoyed each other's company and aspired to be useful individuals. After Yi Wenjun left, Baili Dongjun and Ye Dingzhi walked along, with Baili Dongjun expressing his desire to become a swordsman and always stay by Ye Dingzhi's side. They made a childhood pact to live freely with a sword and wine.
However, Ye Dingzhi's family underwent a coup, and his entire family was executed, which became the most painful memory for Ye Dingzhi. That night, Ye Dingzhi drank alone, reflecting on the events of the past years. His friend accompanied him, and they both speculated that Ye Dingzhi knew Baili Dongjun. His friend Wang Yixing also knew that the person Ye Dingzhi referred to was Baili Dongjun, but neither of them mentioned it explicitly.
Baili Dongjun was awakened by Wen Luojiu, holding a sword in his hand. Wen Luojiu informed him that the people coming to fetch him had arrived. Wen Luojiu was curious about the origin of the Xichu Sword Song. Before Baili Dongjun could answer, General Chen Sheng arrived, tied him up, and took him away. Baili Dongjun shouted for his grandfather to rescue him, as it was his grandfather who had orchestrated the "kidnapping.
"At this moment, Baili Chengfeng, Baili Dongjun's father, arrived. Baili Dongjun was not afraid of his father, and they argued. His mother calmly checked the situation while Wen Luojiu handed the sword to his sister, remarking that he hadn't seen such a fine sword in years. Wen Luojiu clarified that the sword wasn't taken by him but by Baili Dongjun. Initially, his sister didn't believe it, but upon hearing that it was indeed the Xichu Sword Song, she was astonished.
Emperor Tai'an was reviewing documents when a messenger brought news from Yingzong, revealing that Xichu was long dead. However, the Xichu Sword Song had re-emerged, and the swordsman was Baili Dongjun. Lei Mengsha reported to Xiao Ruofeng about encountering Baili Dongjun and learning that he knew the Xichu Sword Song. Xiao Ruofeng was also shocked and couldn't believe it. Baili Dongjun was confined in the woodshed, reminiscing about his childhood when he accidentally entered his master's formation.
As a child, Baili Dongjun had no interest in martial arts. He was about to be sent back, but he was fascinated by the taste of wine and decided to apprentice under his master. Baili Dongjun regretted the trouble he caused while drunk. Baili Chengfeng intended to discipline his son, but upon learning from his wife that Baili Dongjun knew the Xichu Sword Song, he was surprised.
Baili Dongjun was still sound asleep in the woodshed when his father arrived to take him away, only to find that his grandfather had already freed him. Baili Dongjun mocked the situation, and his wife pleaded with Baili Chengfeng. His grandfather adored Baili Dongjun and catered to his every need. His mother asked Baili Dongjun about his adventures in the Sword Forest, but he said he was tired, and his grandfather urged him to rest.
Baili Dongjun hurried to find his master, apologizing for causing trouble. His master explained that he had never taught Baili Dongjun swordsmanship, yet the techniques seemed ingrained in Baili Dongjun's mind, as if the sword controlled him. His master handed him a sword, stating that Baili Dongjun would understand his words in the future.
