## Summary

Qinglian introduces herself to Ximen Guanren, offering to pair with him as cultivation couples and participate in the Untitled Sage test together. Taken aback by the Untitled Sage's directness, Ximen recalls when he sought out potential spouses and remembers Wu Fengyun, Jian Tong and Gu Xiaohua. Uncomfortable with being involved in romantic issues again, Ximen politely rejects Qinglian's offer.

Qinglian assures him that their relationship is purely transactional, as their partnership could maximise both of their profits due to Ximen possessing the most potential out of all who are in the Department of Night. Ximen asks why Ye Yan isn't considered the most prospective. Qinglian states that Nightwatchers are past their prime unless they can become Night Conquerors again, and in an era of coexistence where humans and demons consider Gravekeepers one of their own kind, Ximen is the most important existence since the choices he makes shift the power between the two realms. If Ximen were to aid Grand Pure Peak in winning the competition, the sanctum will help him achieve greatness in return, and may even allow him to become the leader of the Department of Night. Realizing that Grand Pure Peak's goals extend beyond the test, Ximen wonders if it is safe for Qinglian to reveal these plans to him since it may cause conflict with Hollow Jade Peak, the current representative sanctum. Qinglian promises that she was telling the truth and her sanctum honestly wants to collaborate with Ximen. Even so, the Gravekeeper rejects the offer once again, explaining that he has no interest. Qinglian implores Ximen to rethink his decision before bidding farewell and disappearing in a swirl of blue flames.

At night, Gu Xiaohua arrives at a grave and greets Ximen Guanren, who was resting against the gravestone. Gu begs an irritated Ximen to form a team with her, acting intimately by nudging her head against his shoulder. An annoyed Ximen attacks and chases Gu, and the latter flees while clarifying that she simply wants to work with him and compete for the Heaven Crystal, which is overheard by Qinglian.

After successfully escaping Ximen, Gu swears to not give up and continue begging him the next day. As she runs past Qinglian, the latter trips her and causes her to fall to the ground. Qinglian pompously asks why Gu is participating in the competition despite being from a branch sanctum, which were coerced by the main sanctums to not take part. Angered by her attitude, Gu summons two enhanced zombies and orders them to kill Qinglian after she mocks her for following the way of zombie manipulation, a school even inferior to branch sanctums. The main sanctum Untitled Sage uses **Seven Stars Taiji Power** against the two approaching zombies, causing them to collide against each other. She then flips above them and grabs both of their heads before twisting their necks, killing them. Using the movement skill **Lingbo Lotus Footwork**, she instantly appears in front of Gu Xiaohua before using Seven Stars Taiji Power to throw her onto the ground as well. Bleeding from her head, Gu asks Qinglian why she is attacking her. Qinglian scorns Gu for being unworthy of even coveting the Untitled Sage clan's Heaven Crystal before declaring that she will rectify the Untitled Sage clan's disgrace, insinuating that she plans to kill Gu Xiaohua.
