• Ning Bei flew toward Sunset Forest on the Hurricane Hunting Falcon while the others ran toward Sunset Town to compete for a reward.
• Ning Rongrong planned to travel by carriage with Xiao Wu, but Xiao Wu and the others ran ahead without her, so Ning Rongrong used her buffs to catch up.

• After two days of searching without success, Ning Rongrong suggested asking Brother for help, but her companions insisted they continue the test themselves.
• The group followed a strange cry and found an Owl Night Hawk warning a Clawed Long-tailed Bear away from its eggs.

• Qian Renxue recalled her history with Ning Bei, offered the flower her heart’s blood, and gained its approval; Ning Bei said it could help her become a Soul Saint.

• Qian Renxue reluctantly accepted Ning Bei's advice to keep the Lovesick Heartbreak Red in her Soul Tool and take it later.
• Qian Renxue sensed a connection between their martial souls, so Ning Bei took them from the Secret Chamber to Ice God Hall to investigate.
