Episode 25 recap: Ye Liu Xi and the others enter the gold mine.
Chang Dong initially thought he was inadvertently involved, but now it seems too simple. Jiang Zhan says he will kill Ye Liu Xi tomorrow, and Long Zhi asks if he's willing to do so. Chang Dong believes that even though the situation seems settled, there's still a chance to turn the tide against the wind. Jiang Zhan instructs Ye Liu Xi to enter the mine, saying he'll be waiting for her inside.
Chang Dong initially thought he was inadvertently involved, but now it seems too simple. Gao Shen notices that Ding Liu is acting strange. Long Zhi communicates to Gao Shen through tongue manipulation, saying that the flower on Ding Liu's head has already taken control of her nighttime body, and if they don't remove it, it will soon take over her daytime body as well. Gao Shen asks Long Zhi what he should do, and Long Zhi asks Gao Shen to help him kill someone. The next day, Gao Shen is still thinking about Long Zhi's words and tells Ding Liu not to go with them tonight, but Ding Liu disagrees.
During the meal, Gao Shen brings up the matter again, and Chang Dong also feels it's inappropriate. After all, Zhao Guan Shou's true identity is still uncertain. If they leave Ding Liu alone here and Zhao Guan Shou does something, they could rescue Fei Tang later but end up losing Ding Liu. Chang Dong suggests that he and Ye Liu Xi go into the mine together, while Gao Shen and Ding Liu stay outside. In case Zhao Guan Shou tries anything, Gao Shen and Ding Liu can figure out a solution.
Lao Li also joined for the meal, and Chang Dong asked to borrow a chicken from him. Lao Li agreed and lent him Zhen Sihai, as he believed Zhen Sihai had good combat abilities. Zhao Guan Shou arrived and mentioned that they were almost ready to depart. After all, the gold mine was still a considerable distance away, and they needed to make some preparations upon arrival. Ye Liu Xi brought up the idea of letting Lao Li enter the Bogu Yaojia to take a look, and Zhao Guan Shou agreed.
Jiang Zhan and Long Zhi arrived at the mine, stating that they would kill Ye Liu Xi there the following day. Long Zhi asked Jiang Zhan if he was willing to do so. Ye Liu Xi and Chang Dong packed their belongings and prepared to leave. Chang Dong helped Ye Liu Xi fasten a knife to her waist, and the two of them engaged in affectionate banter. As they exited the city, they went through a registration process. Chang Dong noticed that the Long family had a casual approach to entering and leaving the city, and there was hardly anyone checking them.
A He mentioned that during the Battle of Huyang City, Zhao Guan Shou felt indebted to the Long family. As long as it wasn't a major issue, everyone turned a blind eye to the Long family's actions. Ding Liu believed that Ye Liu Xi had already infiltrated Heishi City, but they hadn't been able to find her despite searching for so long. She could possibly be with the Long family. A He quickly advised against spreading such speculation.
A He talked about his own background, explaining that the prominent clans would relocate some commoners to other areas for cultivation. His family was forcibly moved to Huyang City, which was why his parents allowed him to join the Yu Lin Wei. They believed that life would be better there. Now that Huyang City was gone, his parents were likely no longer alive. A He mentioned that he always referred to themselves as "Yu Lin Wei" because he had no family or friends. Ye Liu Xi asked A He if he had ever thought about not being a proxy tongue and living freely. A He didn't think such a thing was possible and said he would consider it later.
They soon arrived outside the mine. Jiang Zhan instructed Ye Liu Xi to enter the mine, as he would be waiting for her inside. Today, the Golden Lord's face was bleeding from seven orifices, indicating that an earthquake would occur soon. Zhao Guan Shou had stationed the Yu Lin Wei outside the mine but hadn't seen anyone enter. However, Jiang Zhan was indeed inside, and they didn't know how he managed to get in. Zhao Guan Shou asked Ye Liu Xi if she really wanted to go inside. Ye Liu Xi stated that they all knew Fei Tang was just an excuse and that Jiang Zhan sought revenge for Huyang City. This battle was inevitable.
Gao Shen and the others waited outside as Ye Liu Xi and the rest entered. Zhao Guan Shou assigned a team of Yu Lin Wei to accompany them. Chang Dong believed that even though the situation seemed set, there was still a chance to turn the tide. The head of the Long family arrived with his men and dealt with the Yu Lin Wei guarding outside, but Zhao Guan Shou and his group were unaware of these events. Gao Shen urged Ding Liu to make sure he returned alive, and Ding Liu assured him that they all intended to return alive.
