• Jiang Wuji chose Buren Ziran as Sol Xiaofeng’s pursuit target and declared his love for her throughout Eastern Source Academy after she rejected him.
• The formation instructor offered to help Sol Xiaofeng get closer to Buren Ziran if he studied formations, but Jiang Wuji dismissed the offer.

• Jiang Wuji kicked the servant and feigned disbelief and grief, recognizing the death as a perfect opportunity to motivate Sol Xiaofeng.

Disguised as Sol Xiaofeng, Jiang Wuji performed a grieving son’s collapse at Sol Mingyuan’s funeral, then returned to Eastern Source Academy and displayed startling insight into array theory.
