• The surviving bandits fled, and Miss Nie and Xiao Juzi realized a flying sword had saved them.

• Zhang Xiaohua’s flying sword killed every fleeing attacker, and he tucked it away without revealing himself to the women.
• Zhang Xiaohua slept in a tree while Four Unlike Huanhuan rested beneath him and absorbed the starlight.

• Xiao Juzi told Zhang Xiaohua that their guards had died and asked him for help moving away from the corpses.
• Xiao Juzi took Zhang Xiaohua by the hand and urged him to look inside the carriage at Miss Nie.

Ren Xiaoyao hesitated to help the gravely ill Miss Nie, but relented and prepared her carriage so Xiao Juzi could take her to a nearby market town for treatment. As they set out, Xiao Juzi remembered something she still needed to tell him.

• Xiao Juzi begged Ren Xiaoyao to help Miss Nie, but he initially turned away because he resented her earlier insults and distrusted her claim that guards had gone for help.
• After Miss Nie cried out in pain, Ren Xiaoyao brought water for her and harnessed a trained black horse to the carriage with ease.
• Ren Xiaoyao admitted that he was a country boy named Ren Xiaoyao rather than a scholar, and Xiao Juzi thanked him and asked him to drive Miss Nie to the market town.
• Ren Xiaoyao took the driver's seat and prepared to leave, but Xiao Juzi suddenly stopped him, struggling to explain what she had remembered.

Zhang Xiaohua helped Xiao Juzi bring the injured Miss Nie to a market town for treatment, then planned to replace their carriage to make them harder to track. He left them waiting outside town with Xiao Juzi’s money pouch so he could buy another carriage.

• Xiao Juzi searched the corpses for a Brocade Box while Zhang Xiaohua waited, then returned to the carriage with it.

• Zhang Xiaohua left the carriage and horse in a secluded spot and accepted Xiao Juzi’s money pouch to buy a replacement carriage.

Zhang Xiaohua brought Xiao Juzi a plain carriage and clothes to help conceal their identities, then assisted her with changing her unconscious young lady. Xiao Juzi’s young lady’s advice about keeping a clear conscience stirred Zhang Xiaohua’s cultivation, and he ended by telling Xiao Juzi she would someday meet the scholar whose story he had shared.

• Zhang Xiaohua returned with a battered carriage pulled by Huanhuan and told Xiao Juzi he had reserved a secluded courtyard at an inn.
• Zhang Xiaohua gave Xiao Juzi plain clothes so she and her young lady could disguise themselves, but Xiao Juzi struggled to change the unconscious woman because her wrists were splinted.
• Xiao Juzi asked Zhang Xiaohua to help dress her young lady with his eyes closed, then repeated her young lady’s teaching that people should guard their original hearts and act with a clear conscience.
• Zhang Xiaohua reflected on his decision to rescue Xiao Juzi and her young lady, felt his cultivation improve, and told Xiao Juzi a story about a scholar who wrote according to his own convictions.
• Xiao Juzi admired the scholar’s words, and Zhang Xiaohua said she would eventually meet him.

Zhang Xiaohua helped Xiao Juzi disguise the injured Miss Nie and move her to a secluded inn, then settled in to cultivate while reflecting on a rare insight into the Heavenly Dao. He left the women sheltered for now and turned his thoughts toward the Misty Manor and the possibility of learning to fly.

• Zhang Xiaohua helped Xiao Juzi change Miss Nie into farmers' clothes and load her into a shabby carriage while concealing their valuables.
• Zhang Xiaohua sent the luxurious carriage away and drove Xiao Juzi and Miss Nie to a secluded inn with a small courtyard.

Meanwhile, Miss Nie woke in the inn, learned how Xiao Juzi had brought them there, and discussed the mysterious Ren Xiaoyao and the Brocade Box.

• Xiao Juzi suggested asking Ren Xiaoyao to help with errands because she was unfamiliar with the town.

Miss Nie and Xiao Juzi discussed Zhang Xiaohua, the danger they had survived, and the medicine Miss Nie needed while Zhang Xiaohua cultivated in his room. After fetching dinner and writing materials, Zhang Xiaohua was invited into their room by Miss Nie.

• Miss Nie and Xiao Juzi debated whether Zhang Xiaohua was an eccentric, and Xiao Juzi decided he was simply a kind young man.
• Miss Nie recalled helping Heroine Xue and lamented that she had never learned martial arts, then wondered about Zhang Xiaohua's abilities.

• Xiao Juzi asked Zhang Xiaohua to fetch writing materials, medicine, and dinner, and he returned with the food and supplies.
• Miss Nie invited Zhang Xiaohua into the room as Great Hero Ren, startling him.

Zhang Xiaohua brought food and writing supplies to Nie Qianyu, who thanked him for rescuing her and Xiao Juzi but was disappointed when he said he would not escort them home. After helping them prepare a discreet prescription, he left the room, and Nie Qianyu suddenly realized that she had been fooled by him.

• Zhang Xiaohua met Nie Qianyu and rejected her insistence on calling him a great hero, while she thanked him for helping her and Xiao Juzi escape danger.
• Zhang Xiaohua said he planned to leave after taking the women to a larger town and finding them professional escorts, despite Xiao Juzi asking him to accompany them home.
• Nie Qianyu used a goading remark to challenge Zhang Xiaohua, and he agreed to continue helping them for now and urged her to provide the prescription.
• Zhang Xiaohua noticed that Xiao Juzi's elegant handwriting could draw attention, so he copied the prescription in his own clumsy hand and took it with him.
• After Zhang Xiaohua left, Nie Qianyu questioned whether he was really an ordinary country boy, then suddenly exclaimed that she had figured out how he had fooled her.
