• The maidservants delayed Bai Ge before bringing him to Golden Scale Hall, where Xue Qinghe greeted him warmly and invited him to sit for tea.

Two days later, Bai Ge attended Xue Qinghe’s Crown Prince Promotion Ceremony, where the arrival of Emperor Xue Ye brought the gathered hall to silence.

• Bai Ge quickly mastered the etiquette Xue Ke taught him, impressing both her and Xue Qinghe.
• After Xue Ke left, Xue Qinghe asked Bai Ge whom he would support if an accident at the ceremony forced him to choose between Xue Qinghe and the Heaven Dou Empire, and Bai Ge chose Xue Qinghe.

• The ceremonial hall fell silent when Emperor Xue Ye entered with a group of palace maids.

At Xue Qinghe’s succession ceremony, Bai Ge noticed Ning Fengzhi was absent and suspected Spirit Hall had begun its Soul Hunting Operation against him and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect.

• Bai Ge concluded that Spirit Hall had likely launched the Soul Hunting Operation alongside its attempt to secure Xue Qinghe’s succession.
• Bai Ge reasoned that Ning Fengzhi and Sword Bone Douluo could withstand an attack on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, while Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, Flender, and Yu Yuanzhen could defend the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect.
• Xue Ye took his seat, and Xue Qinghe entered the ceremonial hall in a silver robe.

At Xue Qinghe’s coronation, Xue Ye suddenly collapsed, and Dugu Bo determined he had been poisoned by a Composite Poison triggered by someone in the hall. Xue Qinghe detained the guests to investigate, while Bai Ge calmly waited in a small hall, suspecting Xue Qinghe would soon seek him out.

• Bai Ge was escorted to a small hall, where he calmly drank tea and ate pastries while suspecting Xue Qinghe had placed Spirit Hall members among the guards.

• Xue Qinghe asked whether she could trust Bai Ge, and he swore to keep her secret.
• Xue Qinghe revealed that her real name was Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue revealed her true identity to Bai Ge and urged him to submit to Spirit Hall for his safety. Bai Ge refused, citing Spirit Hall’s attacks on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the threat to his allies, then proposed a bet as Qian Renxue continued warning him.

• Bai Ge challenged Xue Qinghe’s claim that her real name was Qian Renxue, and she transformed into her true female appearance.
• Qian Renxue admitted she belonged to Spirit Hall and had been the person who bore Bai Ge goodwill, then offered to protect him if he submitted and surrendered things such as his pill-refining method.
• Bai Ge refused to submit, reasoning that Spirit Hall had attacked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and likely the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, making it his enemy.
• Qian Renxue warned Bai Ge that Spirit Hall would target him and urged him to consider Rongrong and Yiran, but he insisted he would never join Spirit Hall.
• Qian Renxue argued that her many Titled Douluo could overwhelm Bai Ge’s protectors, and Bai Ge proposed a bet.
