Summary

On July 18th and 19th, the imperial army and Dulonggang people rushed to Jizhou, spreading news of Song Jiang's ambush. The green forest folks scattered, and those guilty about Ning Liheng retreated. Ning Yi oversaw the cleanup without personal involvement. Commander Fang of Wuruiming made visits, acknowledging Ning Yi's influence. Wang Shan Yue and others met Ning Yi and were surprised by his young master, Lu Hong Ti, who was slightly older than him. Their relationship felt estranged, but Ning Yi hosted lavish meals for her. Hong Ti, recovering from injuries, performed acupuncture on Ning Yi, but their conversations were limited. On July 21st, after a meeting, Ning Yi took Hong Ti to a tavern. She seemed contemplative, prompting Ning Yi to plan a conversation later. However, Hong Ti abruptly left, prompting Ning Yi to pursue her. He shouted for her to return and declared he would find her at Lü Liang Mountain, but this was a ruse. They waited at an intersection but she did not appear. After a night of waiting, they learned she likely stayed in the mountains. Later that night, Hong Ti unexpectedly returned, expressing her emotions and revealing her struggle with their master-disciple relationship. She admitted to wanting to see him more and felt unworthy of him, leading to an emotional confrontation.
