Meanwhile, Tang San abandoned the Sunflower Scripture, Yu Xiaogang made a decisive choice to keep pursuing it, and Emperor Xue Ye sought a crown princess for Xue Qinghe after hearing rumors about the siblings’ closeness.

• Xue Ke persuaded Qian Renxue to learn the Dao Heart Seed Demon Method and helped her cultivate through the night.

• Back in her dormitory, Xue Ke resolved that she supported Qian Renxue rather than Spirit Hall as a whole, which she believed was divided between rival factions.

Xue Ke considered how to keep Tang San from gaining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s support and planned to offer Spirit Hall a way to weaken the sect. After Bibi Dong threatened Xue Ke through Qian Renxue, Xue Ke explained her plan to Qian Renxue, who reluctantly agreed to let her proceed.

• Dugu Yan treated Xue Ke and Ye Lingling to dinner to celebrate breaking through to level 44 with the help of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.
