They left the blacksmith shop with the completed components, and Yun Qi revealed to Ning Rongrong that he already had both the manufacturing and assembly methods.

• Ning Rongrong asked Yun Qi to take her and the others to Suotuo City, and he agreed that Tang San had made the hidden weapons for them.

• Yun Qi and the others arrived at Tang San's blacksmith shop, where Ning Rongrong paid the masters two thousand Gold Soul Coins for the hidden weapon components.
• Yun Qi took the components and invited Tang San to lunch, then quietly told Ning Rongrong that he knew how to manufacture and assemble the weapons.

• Yun Qi agreed to go with Oscar, while Tang San urged him to hurry and carried him through the streets on his back.
• Oscar paid a vendor’s attention with a Gold Soul Coin and learned that Bu Le had taken Dai Mubai toward the Rose Hotel.
• Oscar refused to give the vendor the coin, claiming he had only taken it out to look at it, and the group continued toward the Rose Hotel.

Yun Qi and the others helped Oscar and Tang San find the room where the man and woman were staying, while Bi Ji sensed two Titled Douluo inside the hotel. They reached the Blue Enchantress and found Oscar kneeling outside its door, confirming Yun Qi’s fear that Oscar’s guess had come true.

• Zhu Zhuqing criticized Yun Qi for being too gentle with a vendor, while Ning Rongrong secretly gave the man a Gold Soul Coin.
• Oscar told Yun Qi that the Rose Hotel had refused to let them inspect the rooms, so Ning Rongrong agreed to use her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect token to help.

• The receptionist told Yun Qi’s group that the couple was resting in the Blue Enchantress, and the group hurried upstairs.
• Yun Qi and the others found Tang San waiting helplessly outside the Blue Enchantress while Oscar knelt at the door.

As Yun Qi led the others away, a young man watching from the Rose Hotel recognized Yun Qi as the youth noticed by His Holiness the Pope and resolved to take whatever the woman valued.

• Dai Mubai looked at Bu Le with a complicated expression, then smiled and said he could fight him.

• Yu Xiaogang fed Bu Le Oscar's sausages, then told Ma Hongjun to carry him to an empty dormitory room and have the villagers care for him.
• Xiao Wu explained that reaching level thirty had shortened the interval between uses of Hip Toss, making her Eight-Section Fall smoother and more powerful.
