• Zhao Wuji accepted Ning Fengzhi's proposal, and Ning Fengzhi asked him to introduce the students, including the masked figure and Tang San.

Ning Fengzhi reviewed what he knew about Tang San and concluded that Tang San had deep ties to Camelot, so he avoided provoking him over the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast beside him. After offering the Shrek students gifts and support from Seven Treasures, Ning Fengzhi began to leave, but Tang San stopped him to propose a deal.

• Ning Fengzhi considered the Shrek students’ backgrounds and became especially interested in Tang San’s changed Martial Soul and connection to Camelot.

Spirit Hall’s High Priests remained furious over the original Fate Trajectory, but they waited for the day they could strike back at the God Realm while Qian Ningshuang underwent a trial at sea.
