Mu Zhuohua expressed her thoughts on the topic of "nurturing a tiger as a menace," and Liu Yan, sitting next to her, overheard her words. Wen Shi Zong, Mao Sui Jian, volunteered to answer first, stating that tigers were fierce and should be eliminated. Mu Zhuohua sensed that this person dared to disrespect Liu Yan, possibly knowing that Liu Yan had suffered severe injuries. The Battle of Juma River five years ago had surrounded Liu Yan, leaving him gravely injured, but luckily, someone arrived in time to save him. She couldn't understand why so many people accused Liu Yan of seeking glory recklessly. She voiced her doubts, and Liu Yan was drawn into reminiscence, recalling the scene of the Battle of Juma River.

Amidst discussions, Shen Jinghong arrived at the Wen Zheng Tower. Before answering the question, he humiliated Wen Shi Zong and the others. Shen Jinghong then altered the phrase "as a menace" to "to be used" in the topic "nurturing a tiger as a menace." He believed that as long as the tiger-raiser had great ambitions, the tiger could be put to great use. Tigers were naturally fierce creatures, but those who raised them could utilize them fearlessly. Mu Zhuohua sensed that Wen Zheng Tower might have some background, deciding not to confront them. She prepared to leave with Guo Juli but saw Zhou Steward waiting nearby. Unsure of what to do, Mu Zhuohua found Liu Yan walking up behind her, causing Zhou Steward to leave.

Mu Zhuohua approached Liu Yan, who was about to leave, and initiated a conversation. She declared that she was now under his protection. Liu Yan asked what she meant by being "under his protection." He signaled Mu Zhuohua to look across, where Zhi Jian was with Zhou Steward, saluting them. Mu Zhuohua stared at Zhou Steward, surprised. Liu Chen didn't understand why Liu Yan did this, and Zhi Mo explained that Liu Yan was fishing. Liu Yan informed Mu Zhuohua that he had discovered Zhou Steward's intentions and understood that she wanted to attach herself to him for personal gain. Mu Zhuohua questioned what was wrong with pursuing personal gain and shared how arduous it was for a woman like her to reach Wen Zheng Tower, considering the unfriendly environment for women officials in their era.

Hearing her grievances, Liu Yan softened. He instructed Zhi Jian to escort Mu Zhuohua and Guo Juli home. On his way back, Liu Yan met Tan Lin's father. He learned that Tan Lin's son, Xiao Hu, had died of typhoid fever last month. Liu Yan wondered why the father hadn't sought his help. Tan Lin's father believed it wouldn't have made a difference and shared his regret that Tan Lin had died in battle and never returned, despite Liu Yan's promise to bring him back. Liu Yan was deeply saddened by Tan Lin's father's words. Just then, Liu Jiao walked up to him and asked why he was at Ji Shan Tang (Ji Shan Hall).

Liu Jiao had established many pharmacies and schools and had helped many impoverished families. She overheard a girl outside wanting to study but being prevented by her father. Liu Jiao allowed the girl to study and told her father to leave. Shen Jinghong arrived at Ji Shan Tang, hoping to find Liu Jiao. Shen Jinghong had received help from Liu Jiao since childhood and wanted to teach at Ji Shan Tang and assist others. Liu Jiao told him that exams were approaching and advised him to prepare well. Shen Jinghong assured her he would and invited her to join the poetry competition.

Zhi Jian escorted Mu Zhuohua and Guo Juli back home. Mu Zhuohua wanted to thank him and invited him for a meal, but Zhi Jian drew his sword and warned them not to harm Liu Yan. He vowed to kill them both if they posed any threat to Liu Yan. Mu Zhuohua and Guo Juli were frightened, and Guo Juli was furious at Zhi Jian's threat. Zhao Daifu informed Liu Yan that his health was deteriorating and advised him not to be impatient in handling matters. Liu Yan had an inner turmoil, realizing that if he didn't resolve his issues, he wouldn't be at peace even in the afterlife. Zhao Daifu mentioned that he hadn't heard of "Huan Yang San" and Liu Yan wondered if he was being manipulated by Mu Zhuohua.
