"Second Senior Brother came to find Tu Su to lead the team, but Tu Su was reluctant. Second Senior Brother provocatively invoked Purple Yin Master's name, and Tu Su eventually agreed. Tu Su led everyone to the Emerald Valley and sat alone on the side. Shao Gong asked Qing Xue if this was the person she was looking for and tried to engage Tu Su in conversation to test him. However, Tu Su completely ignored him, leaving Shao Gong disappointed.

In the evening, people began discussing Tu Su, doubting his ability to protect them and believing that there would be no monsters appearing due to the late hour. As they spoke, there was a commotion in the woods, and a group of strange green creatures emerged, terrifying everyone. Tu Su, on the other hand, calmly stood up and observed the creatures, even counting their numbers.

Qing Xue reassured Shao Gong not to be afraid, explaining that these were just spirits, and they stood by Tu Su's side to watch the spectacle. Meanwhile, deep in the forest, Second Senior Brother and Zhao Lin secretly released several monsters and then left. One of the monsters injured someone, prompting Tu Su to intervene immediately. He instructed Qing Xue and Shao Gong to lead everyone away while he engaged the monsters in battle. Qing Xue and Shao Gong watched from the sidelines.

Fearing for Tu Su's safety, Zhao Lin returned to help. Tu Su managed to defeat one monster just as Zhao Lin arrived. Tu Su instructed him to inform Ling Duan. At that moment, another monster attacked Tu Su from behind. Shao Gong rushed forward to push Tu Su out of harm's way but was captured by the monster.

Tu Su hurriedly pursued the monster, and Qing Xue followed him. Ling Duan observed all of this in secret with a sinister smile. During their pursuit, Qing Xue found Shao Gong's belongings and insisted on helping locate him using her magic. Eventually, they discovered Shao Gong in a cave guarded by two monsters.

Qing Xue planned to distract one monster herself while allowing Tu Su to rescue Shao Gong. With Qing Xue's help, Tu Su successfully freed Shao Gong. However, Qing Xue was at risk of being harmed by the monster, so Tu Su stepped in to shield her from the attack. Shao Gong used his ultimate technique, and the three of them managed to escape, while the monsters were killed in the cave.

Back in Tian Yong City, Qing Xue, Shao Gong, and others received praise from the Head Master. Qing Xue credited Tu Su for their rescue and inquired about his injuries. However, Second Senior Brother showed hostility towards Tu Su. When the topic of the monster incident was brought up, Second Senior Brother accused the eldest brother of not securing the monsters properly, leading to an argument with Fufu defending the eldest brother. The Head Master intervened, instructing them to drop the matter.

Fufu introduced the new disciples to their fellow sect members and asked the junior disciples to show them around. At this time, Ling Chuan recognized Shao Gong and thanked him for saving his family, praising him as a miracle worker. Fufu asked Shao Gong why he came to Tian Yong City to learn swordsmanship, and Shao Gong candidly expressed his desire to use his abilities to help more people, while Qing Xue humorously suggested that he wanted to play tricks on people. Zhao Lin inquired about the relationship between Shao Gong and Qing Xue, and Shao Gong lied, claiming they were from the same hometown. He also asked about Tu Su's whereabouts, and Zhao Lin claimed that Tu Su was a monster.

In the dining hall, Tu Su came in to eat, but Second Senior Brother and others looked at him unfavorably. Qing Xue and Shao Gong approached Tu Su to ask about his injuries, but Tu Su was cold and indifferent, rejecting Shao Gong's assistance and leaving arrogantly. Zhao Lin, seeing them at odds with Tu Su, joined in and spoke ill of Tu Su, advising them not to bother with him. Second Senior Brother approached Shao Gong, attempting to recruit him into his faction, but Shao Gong refused and left.

Tu Su was self-treating his injuries, and Shao Gong brought him medicine. He held Tu Su's acupoint and forcibly administered treatment. However, Shao Gong noticed that Tu Su's injuries weren't caused by an external poison but rather a poison within his body. After some teasing and banter, Shao Gong administered acupuncture to help Tu Su heal.

The next morning, Shao Gong brought Tu Su soup and additional medicinal herbs. Second Senior Brother and others came to confront Tu Su, and Shao Gong responded with witty retorts. Zhao Lin reminded Tu Su that he was on duty that day to do menial tasks, but Tu Su was about to go when Shao Gong intervened, offering to take his place. Second Senior Brother provoked the situation, and Shao Gong raised suspicions about the monsters, believing they were released by Second Senior Brother and Zhao Lin. Second Senior Brother and Zhao Lin argued and threatened Shao Gong to leave Tian Yong City, claiming he had no evidence, which left Shao Gong undeterred.

Tu Su asked Ling Duan why he had a problem with him, and Ling Duan straightforwardly stated that it was because Tu Su was a monster who had harmed their master and might harm them someday.

After Ling Duan left, Tu Su inquired how Shao Gong knew the monsters were released by them. Shao Gong explained his analysis, concluding that it was Second Senior Brother and his group who released the monsters. He also wondered about the nature of the poison within Tu Su's body. Qing Xue bribed Fufu with fruits and tried to inquire about Tu Su's background. Fufu accidentally revealed that Tu Su and the eldest brother were biological siblings. She also mentioned that Tu Su had suffered a serious illness as a child, had no memories of his early years, and was found and taken in by Purple Yin Master. She cautioned Qing Xue not to mention this to anyone. Disappointed, Qing Xue wondered where she could find Yun Xi.

Qing Xue went to the residence of Purple Yin Master in the Lin Tian Pavilion. However, she was driven out by Tu Su from inside. As she left, she asked Tu Su whether he was Yun Xi."
