Summary

Here's a summary of the chapter:. Lu Qing Yao chatters away about her desire for revenge on Gu Xiu, causing Nian Zhao Xi to question her Junior Sister's true identity. Nian Zhao Xi, feeling unfamiliar and chilled by Lu Qing Yao's words, asks her true identity. Lu Qing Yao, confused, insists she is Qing Yao. Nian Zhao Xi, in disbelief, wishes for her to be possessed by someone to preserve her old memories. This statement upsets Lu Qing Yao, who then tries to leave. Nian Zhao Xi, however, stops her, citing Master's order to ban feasting for three days. She punishes Lu Qing Yao for openly defying the order and her disrespect towards elders. After a series of slaps, Nian Zhao Xi finally asks if Lu Qing Yao submits. Lu Qing Yao, in tears, submits and apologizes. Nian Zhao Xi leaves without another word, and Lu Qing Yao breaks down in resentment and bitterness. Nian Zhao Xi, feeling heavy-hearted, meets her fourth Junior Sister, Shi Si Ling. Shi Si Ling asks Nian Zhao Xi for Lv Dong Shan's location, intending to kill him. Meanwhile, Lv Dong Shan, fearing Tiance's pursuit, considers finding Gu Xiu to take responsibility for the mess.
