• Bai Yu agreed to consider joining Spirit Hall only if Hu Liena became his Cultivation Partner, and he returned to his cell when Bibi Dong refused.
• Bibi Dong met Hu Liena after checking on Xie Yue and Yan, then asked what she would think of Bai Yu becoming her Cultivation Partner.

Bibi Dong suspected Bai Yu had been sent by a powerful outside faction and instructed Hu Liena to use meals to draw him into seeking her help. Bai Yu and Hu Liena each saw through the other's act, and after Bibi Dong left him without food for a day, Hu Liena brought him another meal.

Bibi Dong had Hu Liena build Bai Yu’s trust while secretly planning Spirit Hall’s takeover of the Heaven Dou Empire and a war with Star Luo. Qian Renxue received a report about Bai Yu’s abduction and a secret letter, while Hu Liena offered to help Bai Yu escape, but he suspected a trap.

• After Bai Yu used Hu Liena’s token to deter the Titled Douluo, Hu Liena offered to help him escape, but Bai Yu dismissed her offer as a trap.
