The Deputy Commander stops Commander Xu and tells him that Lei Ao is his son. Lei Ao and his father have a strained relationship as Lei Ao hates him for doing nothing about his brother’s death.
Wen Xi is impressed with Cheng Jun’s talents and falling for him. Zheng Zhi lost the debate and the Student Council can no longer mete out punishment. Le Xuan advises Zheng Zhi to lay low for the time being.
Commander Xu is also looking for Ke Shi Jun. He wants to expand his search but is stopped by Lord Gu. Both men are adversaries as they want to claim credit for Ke Shi Jun’s capture. Lei Ao observes what is happening as he tails Commander Xu.
Cheng Jun advises Wen Xi to talk it out with Ms. Mu. Wen Xi says that she had done so but Ms. Mu doesn’t seem to understand.
Wen Xi then asks Cheng Jun if he has feelings for Shu Min. He tells her no and prefers someone who is able to share life’s ups and downs with him.
Shu Min is delighted when she hears that Cheng Jun had performed remarkably well during the policy debate with her brother.
Zheng Zhi reads an intercepted letter from Ms. Mu to Wen Xi. Ms. Mu tells Wen Xi that she is feeling uneasy about her humiliation by Zheng Zhi.
She also says that she understands Wen Xi should focus on her studies first and discuss their relationship later.
Ms. Mu asks her to be careful of the bad guys which infuriates Zheng Zhi. Lei Ao learns from Le Xuan about Cheng Jun’s views which surprises him.
He tells Le Xuan that Ke Shi Jun is in cahoots with the authorities and the clues could be in the Imperial Brigade.
Mr. Ding shares with Master Wang about Cheng Jun’s views which are very similar to Xue Ding Kun’s ideas.
They also find Wen Xi and Cheng Jun share the same philosophy. Master Wang wants Mr. Ding to check Wen Xi’s background.
However, they are not sure how much support Cheng Jun’s ideas would have.
Master Wang wants to present these ideas to the Emperor. He thinks the situation is safer now since the authorities seem to have relaxed their vigilance on the fugitives linked to the past.
Mr. Ding writes a note to his brother scholar, Qin Hao Guan, that Master Wang seems to share their ideas.
Mr. Ding and Mr. Qin are Xue Ding Kun’s students. This prompts Mr. Qin to go to Yunzhou.
Lei Ao is getting jealous that Wen Xi is becoming closer to Cheng Jun.
Mr. Ding is trying to find out more about Wen Xi’s background. Principal Feng’s record on Wen Xi only has it listed that her father had died when she was young and she has taken her mother’s surname.
Mr. Ding makes his way to Wen Xi’s house and sees her mother. He recognizes her as Xue Ding Kun’s wife.
