Shu Yanan left without saying goodbye and came alone to the place where she met Yun Xiang, but unfortunately it was no longer the same as before. Yun Xiang was heartbroken and wrote a poem to console himself after getting drunk, but ultimately burned it, and could only send his longing through tears as they parted ways, fearing they may never see each other again.

Liu Gongquan urged Princess Mingzhu to return to Yangzhou as soon as possible, as Lord Fu was still in court and had not yet attended to her. If someone were to investigate, they would soon discover that she had come to the Southern Capital. However, Princess Mingzhu disagreed, lamenting that everyone wants to be born into the royal family and enjoy honor and respect, but little did they know the complexity and intrigue within the imperial family, where a slight mistake could lead to disastrous consequences.

It was precisely because Princess Mingzhu grew up in the deep palace since childhood and had not completely seen through this layer of complexity, that she wanted to follow Liu Gongquan to learn and broaden her horizons. Liu Gongquan was in a dilemma, on one hand he had the order of the emperor, on the other hand he had a debt of gratitude to repay. At this moment, Yun Xiang suddenly came to find Liu Gongquan and said that their plans had changed, so they would temporarily suspend the first transaction, but the second one could be completed tonight, and he needed to mobilize his troops immediately.

Soon, the soldiers surrounded Kou Yuanjie's hiding place. In order to ensure his safety, Yue Wu decided to risk it alone and draw the soldiers away. Before leaving, she tearfully hugged him. Shadow appeared and followed Yue Wu, threatening to make her pay with her own blood. He then used a whistle to reveal her location, successfully luring Liu Gongquan. Yue Wu had planned to bite the poison and commit suicide, but Liu Gongquan quickly knocked her unconscious.

That night, Yun Xiang went to Shu Yanan's room and missed her. Since he couldn't explain the situation to the people in Liansheng Alley, he decided to vent his anger by dividing Shu Yanan's belongings and having Ke Menglan move into the room. The next day, Ke Menglan passed on a message from Yun Xiang to Su Mingyu, asking him to meet with Mo Bufan. Mo Bufan was sighing and complaining that all the small secrets he had saved up in his life had been exposed by Yun Xiang.

The two pretended to come to buy Gongbu, but just as they were about to question the source of the Gongbu, a group of people rushed in and surrounded them, with Guan Hai as the leader. After a conversation, Guan Hai truthfully revealed that Gongbu came from the hands of the Japanese. Su Mingyu promised to provide him with five thousand horses at a low price within a year, and cleverly dispelled Guan Hai's idea of turning them into slaves.

Since Shu Yanan left, Yun Xiang had been drinking every day, with his longing becoming a disease. Even the sobering soup cooked by Ke Menglan was sent away by him. Su Mingyu, as someone who had experienced similar feelings, comforted Yun Xiang. He reminded him that it was he who had originally helped him to wake up, and yet today, he was still stubbornly holding on. Later, Su Mingyu revealed to Yun Xiang that the soldiers had used Gongbu as a challenge to pledge allegiance to Guan Hai and become pirates, and that he had already negotiated a deal with Guan Hai to get him to hand over the people.

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiang stood up and drank the sobering soup alone before heading to the Mo family alone. At this moment, Mo Bufan learned that Shu Yanan came from Ling Yuan Ge and was immediately filled with uncontrollable anger, feeling upset for so long. Just as he was speaking, Yun Xiang stepped forward to defend Kang Qiao and explained the general situation. He felt that the style of the Lingyun faction was different from before and that their methods were somewhat similar to those of Yuntai.

After learning about this, Mo Bufan was extremely unhappy with Yun Xiang, feeling that he didn't want Shu Yanan to leave and even wished to tie her up and keep her by his side. Despite Yun Xiang's intelligence and cunning, he still couldn't predict his own emotions. Mo Bufan believed that if Shu Yanan was really from Ling Yuan, then the hundred-year-old grudges between Lingyun and Yuntai would stand in the way of their relationship.

Nevertheless, Yun Xiang still deeply loved Shu Yanan, and never hated her for concealing her identity. Even if she had deceived him, it didn't matter. Unfortunately, Shu Yanan was unaware of Yun Xiang's feelings. She met with Kou Yuanjie at the dock and was surprised to learn that Kou Yuanjie knew that Yuewu was trapped in prison but still didn't want to help her, saying that Yuewu had served him well for seven years.

Just as Shu Yanan was questioning when Kou Yuanjie had become so heartless, she suddenly saw her mother Kou Yan approaching from afar with her siblings and Nangong Fang returning to Lingyuan. With Nangong Fang by her side, Kou Yan angrily accused Kou Yuanjie of killing Ye Xiao and causing trouble in the capital city, warning her children with chopsticks.

To everyone's surprise, Nangong Fang took the initiative to speak up for his niece and nephew, believing that Shu Yanan was getting close to the Yun Tai disciples to understand their strengths and weaknesses, and punishing them was not appropriate. As for Kou Yuanjie's embezzlement of official funds, it was for the benefit of the family and not a big deal. However, Kou Yuanjie was completely unappreciative of Nangong Fang's defense and Kou Yan immediately ordered Kou Yuanjie to stop using a few of his seals and return to the north bank of the river without permission to cross.

After Nangong Fang and Kou Yuanjie left, Kou Yan spoke to Shu Yanan alone, curious if she had found a way to restrain Nangong Fang during her three-year absence. Shu Yanan admitted that she currently had no plan, and she knew that Lingyuan had been fighting against Yun Tai for nearly half a year for the restoration of the orthodox rule, and it was probably on its last legs before her mother inherited the position of the sect leader.

Therefore, Shu Yanan understood that Kou Yan was making good use of Nangong Fang for the sake of Lingyuan, and this person had indeed made great contributions, but his ambition was too great, gradually expanding and becoming difficult to control. Kou Yan could see that her son's intelligence and tactics were far inferior to her daughter's, and she hoped that Shu Yanan could stay by Nangong Fang's side, ostensibly to assist him in his work, but actually to secretly monitor his every move.
