Under the clear moonlight, after dinner, Yan Zijing took Duan Wu for a walk around the market to relax. Earlier, he had noticed Duan Wu’s fascination with the flowers there, so he generously bought every flower at the market. Surrounded by a sea of blooms, the air filled with their fragrance, it was just the two of them. Yan Zijing felt a bit nervous, and Duan Wu sensed the romantic atmosphere.

Finally, Yan Zijing mustered the courage to embrace and kiss Duan Wu, bringing them closer to happiness than ever. The caravan eventually reached Hexi, where the vast desert stretched endlessly, barren and empty, with constant winds blowing each day. Duan Wu, with a scarf over her face, nestled against Yan Zijing. Now, the two were inseparable, spending every moment together. At night, the caravan would set up camp to rest.

Yan Zijing often brought Duan Wu along to gaze at the desert stars, which appeared different from those on the plains. “Reaching for the stars” seemed to perfectly describe the unique beauty of the night sky here. When they finally arrived at their target, Langhuanwu, Yan Zijing brought Duan Wu to meet his elder brother, Yuchi. Upon seeing Duan Wu, Yuchi found her somewhat familiar. Yan Zijing explained that she was Ba Niang’s daughter.

Yuchi then led Duan Wu and Zhang Jinran to visit the room where the late Yu Shi once lived. Seeing the neatly arranged tools in the room, Duan Wu couldn’t help feeling emotional. Yan Zijing told her that Yu Shi had been a refined and gentle person deeply in love with Ba Niang. Yan Zijing then visited the best doctor in the area, who had good news for him.

Previously, the antidote could only reduce the likelihood of poison attacks, but years of research had now revealed a cure. Yan Zijing was overjoyed. Now that he had Duan Wu, he cherished his life even more, instructing his men to give the doctor a generous reward. With the caravan preparing to enter dangerous territory, Duan Wu learned that the place ahead was extremely perilous.

To ensure Xiao Xiami’s safety, Yan Zijing agreed to leave him in Langhuanwu, confident that his elder brother would take good care of him. Duan Wu was relieved when she saw Yuchi personally teaching Xiao Xiami to write. As Duan Wu and Zhang Jinran prepared for their mission, Zhang Jinran advised her to stay in a safe place. However, Duan Wu couldn’t bear the thought of letting Yan Zijing face danger alone, insisting on joining him.

To avoid worrying Xiao Xiami, she decided to keep this plan a secret. Zhang Jinran had also brought Yue Yunxiu to Hexi. He visited the border army station, requesting troops from the commander to help eliminate Li Longdao. The commander, hearing of Zhang Jinran’s intent to eradicate the elusive bandits, couldn’t help but shiver. Li Longdao’s gang was notorious for their ability to disappear without a trace.

Zhang Jinran, well-prepared, assured the commander that the plan was solid and that their victory would bring credit to all. He also requested the best imperial physician from the army camp to treat Yue Yunxiu’s hand ailment. That night, Yan Zijing asked Duan Wu to entrust the Blood Pearl to him. With so many forces eyeing it, carrying it would only endanger her.

Duan Wu didn’t understand the pearl’s significance, so Yan Zijing explained that it contained a map of Gulisidan. Once opened, it would reveal the location of a long-lost treasure that both the common folk and the palace had been coveting.
