Episode 2 recap: Mysterious villain reappears in the martial arts world.

Xie Jingshu recognized the figure of Li Mengjue. Li Mengjue followed the bloodstains to the place where Bai Rui was, and she saw Bai Rui being bullied, so she fought Jing Yan and he fled in embarrassment. After Bai Rui thanked Li Mengjue and was about to leave, she was stopped by Li Mengjue, who demanded protection money and made an exorbitant request. Bai Rui had no choice but to give the money to Li Mengjue. Li Mengjue disguised herself and hid her clothes in a tree, then quietly returned to her room.

When Li Mengjue was about to apply medicine to her severely injured arm, Xie Jingshu arrived and noticed her injury. Li Mengjue quickly held a hairpin in her hand, being cautious. Xie Jingshu sensed that something was wrong and wanted to ask about the injury on Li Mengjue's body, but Li Mengjue dropped the hairpin on the ground. Xie Jingshu picked up the hairpin from the ground and heard Li Mengjue pretending to cry. Although he knew that the other party was probably acting, he didn't expose it and continued to play along with Li Mengjue.

Xie Jingshu knew about Li Mengjue's background and experiences but didn't expose her lies. Late at night, Li Mengjue returned to the bamboo forest and found herself back in the same place. There were many wolf howls around, which startled her awake, only to realize that she had had the same dream again. Jing Yan teased Xie Jingshu, and just as Xie Jingshu was about to mention Jing Yan, he noticed someone approaching and pretended to be frightened.

Jing Yan couldn't understand why the information he had obtained with great effort was burned by Xie Jingshu. His threats were also ineffective, and he felt it was pointless. Xie Jingshu told Jing Yan that the information had nothing to do with Zhao Yizhi and advised him to pay attention to the Liu Mansion and settle a debt later.
