Yun Xiang and Shu Yanan realized that there was something wrong with Jishan Hall, and after investigating secretly, they discovered that Jia Chang'an and his wife were involved in dirty deals. It turned out that every month, Jishan Hall sent someone to collect children. Girls were sold as thin horses, and boys were sold as servants. Shu Yanan believed that since someone went to buy regularly, there must be fixed business between the upstream and downstream. Qi Tianfeng never dealt with the business of human trafficking and fireworks, but he had no choice but to accept it.

Shu Yanan noticed that Yun Xiang was staring blankly at a finger ring, and every time she asked, he would cover up or change the subject. Shu Yanan felt that Yun Xiang was hiding too many secrets, and he was no different from Jin Biao, Su Mingyu, and others. Even though the rules of the Yun Tai gate prohibit getting involved in love and hatred, what is the point of keeping memories without love and hate?

Mo Bufan brought Yun Xiang to meet the Yun Tai Sect Master in the outskirts, but the Master only heard his voice and didn't see him, blaming him for not obeying the orders of the commander-in-chief of Yuezhou and instead trespassing into Nandu, and forcing him to return to the mountain to continue his cultivation. Yun Xiang felt that once Mo Bufan gave up his worldly desires, he could no longer understand the desires, loves, and hates of ordinary people, let alone contribute to the society and the country. Therefore, he believed that those who entered the Yun Tai Sect must keep their worldly desires in mind, but not be trapped by them. He came to Nandu not only to seek revenge and repay kindness, but also to fulfill Congwen's regretful wish.

Because of this, the Sect Master agreed to let Yun Xiang stay in Nandu, but reminded him not to be distracted, and not to forget the mission of the Sect. Besides, what Qi Tianfeng did was not worth mentioning, the real obstacle was the Nandu Chamber of Commerce. After meeting with the Sect Master, Mo Bufan and Yun Xiang talked by the river, deepening their impressions of each other.

On the other side, Shu Yanan disguised herself as a black-clothed person and attacked Kang Qiao. A poisoned hidden weapon cut his face, and he also wounded her left shoulder. Luckily, Kang Qiao had an antidote with him and promptly informed Mo Bufan about the incident, describing the situation of the black-clothed person. Yun Xiang listened thoughtfully, but Mo Bufan was angry that Yun Xiang had brought disaster upon him.

That evening, Tang Xiao led everyone to Liansheng Alley in a grand manner. Ke Menglan personally negotiated and sent Tianhu to inform Jin Biao to leave quickly. Ke Menglan explained that Liansheng Alley had just changed ownership and was not yet open for business, so she ordered them to leave. Unexpectedly, Tang Xiao threatened Ke Menglan to go back with him, saying that he could make her a top prostitute in the brothel.

Jin Biao was fond of gambling but not good at it. He lost all his money to Ke Menglan in a row, owing a total of sixty taels of gold. Just as Jin Biao was questioning the intention of Su Mingyu bringing him to the gambling house, Yun Xiang stepped in and gambled against Ke Menglan. In just one round, he helped Jin Biao win back the silver he had lost. Afterward, to repay Yun Xiang, Jin Biao offered to kill someone for half the price. Yun Xiang, on the other hand, allowed Jin Biao to stay by his side as a bodyguard and paid him a daily salary.

As she watched Liansheng Lane about to be auctioned off, Ke Menglan felt uneasy and worried that the change of ownership of the gambling house would leave her and her sisters without a place to live. Su Mingyu saved up three thousand taels of silver to participate in the auction and claimed that he would not let Ke Menglan become homeless. However, he had made similar promises in the past but failed to keep them, and Ke Menglan no longer had any hope, admitting that she was born lowly and did not deserve someone like him.

Due to Yun Xiang sending Shu Yanan to collect debts from the merchants, he was unprotected and Zhang Kui took the opportunity to follow and track him. Yun Xiang sensed something was amiss and quickly lit fireworks to resist for a moment, then led them to Mo Bufan's territory. In a critical moment, Mo Bufan and his adopted son Kang Qiao came forward to save the day, skillfully taking care of Zhang Kui, all of which was calculated by Yun Xiang. With the help of Shu Yanan, Yun Xiang successfully collected the debt certificates from the merchants and thanked her by giving her a set of women's clothing. The next day, the auction at Liansheng Fang was held as scheduled. Ke Menglan deliberately arranged a chance encounter with Su Mingyu, and sent clothes as an apology to him, thereby strengthening Su Mingyu's determination to buy Liansheng Fang.

Shu Yanan's change of clothes was eye-catching, and Yun Xiang couldn't hide his admiration for her stunning appearance. The praises were endless, but Jin Biao ruined the atmosphere. Later, the three of them arrived at Liansheng Lane and found that all the merchants in the city had gathered here, with the gambling head Tang Xiao and his skilled guards attracting attention. Qian Rong acted as the host for the auction. Just before it started, Su Mingyu appeared with three thousand silver tickets. Originally, Su Mingyu wanted to bid for Liansheng Lane to save Ke Menglan, but Tang Xiao was determined to acquire it, and the two sides kept raising the bid, quickly surpassing 3,000 taels of silver. In a hurry, Su Mingyu turned to Yun Xiang for help, and Yun Xiang agreed to lend him one percent interest, giving him one thousand taels of silver to directly bid for 4,000 taels of silver.
