He Lian Xi sees the vision of a woman wearing a pipa hairpin setting fire to the sacred tree in the Tianji Cloud Board. The King does not explicitly state that as the ending, but if the sacred tree were to be burned, there would be no hope of revival. While searching for the pipa hairpin in the streets, He Lian Xi encounters Xi Jiu, who has just arrived in Yongzhao. Xi Jiu and Shi Ying become acquainted through a misunderstanding. (Source: Viu)
