Gu Yuena diverted Luo Ye from asking her to subdue the Lovesick Heartbreak Red by claiming she would support his relationships with other women, and his reaction strengthened his belief that she would make a good leader among them.

• Ning Rongrong questioned Gu Yuena’s motives, and Zhu Zhuqing ended the debate by declaring she would not yield.

• Dai Weisi asked Zhu Zhuyun to fulfill her promise and consummate their relationship.

Zhu Zhuyun rejected Dai Weisi’s advances and told him Dai Mubai had returned with a Titled Douluo, rattling his confidence in the throne struggle. After sending Dai Weisi away, she resolved to leave the Star Luo Empire and help her younger sister win Luo Ye.

• Dai Weisi visited Zhu Zhuyun, boasting that Dai Mubai could no longer threaten his claim to the Star Luo throne and expecting her to accept him.
• Zhu Zhuyun refused intimacy until Dai Weisi had completely defeated Dai Mubai, then warned him that Dai Mubai had returned with two Soul Sages and a Titled Douluo.
• Dai Weisi panicked at the news and asked whether it was true, realizing the Titled Douluo could turn the throne struggle in Dai Mubai’s favor.
• Zhu Zhuyun urged Dai Weisi to recruit the Titled Douluo, and he hurried away to pursue that goal.
• Zhu Zhuyun decided to leave the Star Luo Empire for Heaven Dou Royal Academy and resolved to help her younger sister defeat Gu Yuena and Qian Renxue for Luo Ye.

After learning that Dai Mubai had gained the backing of Tang Hao and possibly the Clear Sky Sect, Dai Weisi hurried to Shrek Academy to win Tang Hao over. Dai Mubai blocked him, but Tang San confirmed that his injured father could not receive visitors, so Dai Weisi offered to send medicine and healing Soul Masters.
