Episode 7 recap: A Jiu wants Blue to leave Beiming.

Ning'er came to Beiming because her father died and her mother remarried. She came to Beiming to seek refuge with her grandmother. Little did she know that as soon as she crossed Beiming Mountain, she was cold and hungry. Fortunately, she was taken in by the Li couple at the foot of Beiming Mountain, where she finally had a meal. Just as she settled in the Li couple's house for a few days, someone knocked on their door while they were having a meal. As soon as Li Hanzi opened the door, he was killed. Ning'er was frightened and quickly hid, witnessing the whole process of the person committing the crime. Although she didn't see his face clearly, she remembered that he was an official, and there was a special mark on his clothes.

A Jiu is certain that the Li couple at the foot of Beiming Mountain were not harmed by the Ling Zhi spirits. Now that Ning'er, a witness, has appeared, A Jiu plans to go to Prince Ye to tell him the truth. However, Prince Ye is furious and insists on capturing all the spirits. He warns A Jiu not to overstep her boundaries again, or there will be no leniency. One of Prince Ye's subordinates suggests going to find the Li couple, but Prince Ye does not allow it. He wants Ling Zhi captured as soon as possible.

On this day, Blue and A Jiu are out on the street together. When A Jiu urges Blue to return to Baicaotang as soon as possible, Blue ignores her and wants to continue strolling. At this moment, the people from the Shangqing Division come out with their Shangqing dogs to capture the spirits. A Jiu intentionally knocks over spices to distract the Shangqing dogs, in order to help Blue overcome the crisis. Blue is touched by this, but she didn't expect that A Jiu would ask her to leave Beiming for the sake of her safety. In a fit of anger, she didn't even take her belongings and ended up being captured halfway.
