Ye Dingzhi was originally planning to meet Baili Dongjun, but unexpectedly, a masked man appeared. The man claimed to be sent by Baili Dongjun's master. Subsequently, Baili Dongjun followed the man away. After Ye Dingzhi returned, he saw that the paper money Baili Dongjun had burned hadn't completely burned out. Ever since his family's demise, he hadn't been back. This time, he performed a sword dance at his former home, vowing over the years to clear his parents' names.

Baili Dongjun took out his homemade wine, but the masked man immediately shattered the bottle. The man then controlled the wine in the air around him and told Baili Dongjun that this was the skill he would soon learn, called Luohua Liushuo. After breaking his mask and drinking the wine, the man also noticed Lei Mengsha and Xiao Ruofeng on the rooftop. Xiao Ruofeng already knew him, while Lei Mengsha was curious.

From Xiao Ruofeng, they learned that the man was Ji Ruofeng, who had an old connection with Baili Dongjun's master. Ji Ruofeng was there to help Baili Dongjun. Ji Ruofeng requested that Baili Dongjun prepare five jars of wine for him daily. Meanwhile, Liu Yue prepared the initial exam questions. Unlike previous times, Liu Yue didn't reveal any details in advance, even under pressure from his subordinates. Lei Mengsha came to get information but learned nothing.

He then threatened Liu Yue with being the chief examiner annually. Liu Yue, not wanting the role, finally disclosed that the exam topic was "beyond the literary and martial arts. " The topic required candidates to impress with skills beyond the conventional literary and martial abilities. Lei Mengsha was pleased and reported Baili Dongjun's recent progress. Through training, Baili Dongjun's internal strength had improved.

Lei Mengsha told him about the exam topic, which felt unhelpful to Baili Dongjun, as he thought his days of martial practice were wasted. Soon, everyone was discussing the "beyond the literary and martial arts" exam topic, including Yue Yao, who found it intriguing. Liu Yue visited a fabric shop, asking the owner to make him a set of clothes within three days. Three days later, Liu Yue held the academy's grand exam at a gambling house.

The gambling house owner was surprised, but Liu Yue believed gambling was part of the exam. Everyone was ready outside the venue. When Baili Dongjun arrived, he saw Ye Dingzhi, who greeted him without revealing his true identity. Soon, everyone entered the gambling house. Baili Dongjun expected many bets on him but found very few. As the exam began, a child announced the rules: the exam would last six hours. Baili Dongjun asked Lei Mengsha to bring his bundle.

Meanwhile, King Xiao Xie learned about the exam, hoping it might aid his ascent to the throne. Each candidate showcased their unique skills. One challenged others to a chess match, displaying arrogance. However, Liu Yue's child was an exceptional chess player, defeating the challenger, who conceded graciously. Baili Dongjun smelled wine and saw his belongings brought over, drawing mockery. In truth, Baili Dongjun planned to brew wine, surprising Ye Dingzhi, who knew Baili Dongjun excelled in winemaking.

Although aged wine was good, new wine had its unique qualities. On the other side, Ye Dingzhi cut lamb legs, catching Xiao Xie's eye, who planned to secretly send Ye Dingzhi a post. Xiao Xie didn't think highly of Baili Dongjun, brought by Xiao Ruofeng. Unfazed, Baili Dongjun brewed wine while Ye Dingzhi roasted lamb legs, confident in advancing. Suddenly, someone rushed in, claiming to compete for first place and submit their exam paper.

The intruder stole the child's belongings, which Liu Yue recognized as the work of Kong Linger's disciple. Liu Yue sent the three diligent ones after the thief, but Yan Feifei managed to pass the initial test. Disguised, Yue Yao arrived, adopting a new name. Ye Dingzhi immediately recognized her as the woman he had seen at the inn, suspecting she had changed her identity. Baili Dongjun, however, found her eyes familiar.
