Summary

The Empress, Cao, is upset and blames Wang Ning An for the Tai Zi's rebellious words, which she believes reflect poorly on his teachings. Wang Ning An defends himself and seeks to clarify the situation by inviting the Tai Zi and the Wu Ling lecturer, Long Chang Qi, to discuss the matter. As the discussion unfolds, the Tai Zi expresses his feelings about friendship, revealing that he doesn't want to be perceived as a snob by only befriending those who are better than him.
