Su Yishui and Xue Ranran returned to Mount Wester. Upon hearing Yu Chen’s report about new disciples being accepted into the sect, Xue Ranran asked for leniency on behalf of Qiu Xier and the others. Su Yishui silently agreed and then arranged for Xue Ranran to be in charge of Mount Wester’s meals. Wen Hongshan and Yan Liangyu arrived near the Xuantian Sect, where Tu Jiuyuan stood guard at the entrance.
Wen Hongshan asked whether the Scarlet Sect had any involvement in the demon beast transformation events. Tu Jiuyuan explained that demonic cultivation was simply a different method and did not necessarily lead one down a wrong path, but she agreed to investigate together. Hearing that Tu Jiuyuan had taken matters into her own hands, Wei Jiu scolded her. Tu Jiuyuan replied that they could expel her if they wished, and the promise to the Immortal Gate could be dismissed.
Although Wei Jiu could not bear to let her go, due to her pregnancy, Tu Jiuyuan was determined to leave. Wei Jiu then ordered that she find the Five Sha Maze and refine the Golden Fire before leaving. While Xue Ranran was washing vegetables in the kitchen, several new disciples approached her, eager to ask about the Soul Cleansing Pool trial. Among them, Yue Sheng and Shen Kuo were especially active.
Su Yishui, during his free time, was accustomed to calling for Xue Ranran, but after several calls went unanswered, he went to the kitchen. The new disciples were gathered around Xue Ranran, laughing and talking. Su Yishui, feeling jealous, punished the new disciples, ordering them to do handstands by the West Wind Pool. When Xue Ranran brought the food to Su Yishui, he reprimanded her for being too slow.
He wondered when she would be able to make him fall in love with her again to break the Soul Washing Talisman. Xue Ranran, in response, kissed Su Yishui. Su Yishui then asked why she wasn’t blushing after kissing him, and if she did this often with many others. Xue Ranran could only laugh helplessly. Tu Jiuyuan attempted to open the Five Sha Maze but found her cultivation too weak to make any progress.
Wei Jiu, unwilling to let her leave, was relieved that he had assigned her an almost impossible task. Su Yishui wrote a menu for Xue Ranran and had Yu Tong deliver it to her. Xue Ranran, deliberately throwing a small tantrum, refused to cook. She then asked Yu Chen to relay a message to Yu Tong about going to the capital to investigate Ye Xin. Yu Tong explained that Su Yishui had already sent Yu Chen to the capital.
On his way back to the study, Su Yishui passed by the Spirit Pool and noticed that Xue Ranran’s spiritual power was unstable, likely due to the Soul Lock. He instructed her to speed up the process and use methods like being affectionate to make him fall in love with her again. To allow her to rest, Su Yishui told Xue Ranran that she didn’t need to cook for him anymore and should focus on replenishing her spiritual energy instead.
During mealtime, several new disciples deliberately provoked Bai Baishan, Gao Cang, and Qiu Xier. They even used magic to attack each other. Hearing the commotion, Xue Ranran rushed to the dining hall to stop them. Su Yishui soon arrived and immediately ordered each of them to fetch one hundred baskets of water from the mountain base before they could eat.
Xue Ranran stood up for her senior brothers and pointed out that the new disciples were disrespecting their seniors because Su Yishui had neglected them. As she spoke, Mu Ranwu once again used the Soul Lock, but since Xue Ranran hadn’t taken any Spirit Pills in advance, she fainted immediately. Su Yishui carried Xue Ranran to the study and, while using his energy to heal her, discovered that she could freely connect to his spiritual power.
Xue Ranran admitted her mistake of arguing with her master, and Su Yishui, not wanting to punish her further, decided she should read more ancient books in search of a way to break the Soul Washing Talisman. As Su Yishui flipped through the scriptures, he came across some notes Xue Ranran had made about him, which triggered a few memories.
The next day, he deliberately called all the disciples together and organized a light-body competition between the new and old disciples. The losers would be thrown into the Blazing Flame Pool, where their skin would be burned off. Gao Cang volunteered first, but none of the new disciples dared to compete. Su Yishui used this opportunity to confirm Xue Ranran’s claims that the old disciples were loyal to him and also to teach the new disciples to correct their attitude.
When Xue Ranran delivered food to Su Yishui, she noticed a list of the new disciples at Mount Wester, and to her surprise, they were all descendants of former high-ranking officials of the current dynasty. She realized that Su Yishui had secretly gathered his old subordinates, and in order to prevent a major mistake, she devised a plan to lure Su Yishui down the mountain. It was the annual Teacher’s Day, and she wanted him to experience the respect and admiration of the common people.
