## Summary

After Xumi Ruo and Huamu Xian profess their affection to each other, the plant monster is relieved that he feels attracted to the Untitled Sage, having been questioning his sexual orientation due to past incidents. Swearing to affirm his beliefs,
he asks to be Huamu Xian's cultivation companion, which she happily accepts, which upsets Pang Dali. Wu Fengyun objects to their agreement, stating that Xumi Ruo could be recognized by Ye Yan and Huang Xiaoyan since they battled before, which may complicate matters since they are attending a competition hosted by Untitled Sages.

Agreeing, Xumi Ruo proceeds to rip out his heart and throw it onto the floor, which quickly regenerates into a younger version of himself. When questioned by a shocked Pang about the ability, Xumi Ruo answers that he possesses the unique ability amongst his family to immediately regenerate his entire body, and by reducing the regeneration rate, he can decrease his new body's age. The bear monster then asks about his old deceased body's brain. Xumi Ruo answers that he regrew a new brain and even transferred his soul onto his new body. Spinach reminds Xumi about the markings on his face that could expose his identity, which the white thorn monster promptly hides by using concealer.

Having accomplished her mission, Huamu Xian excuses herself by lying that she has business to attend to at Xiahou Secondary School when in reality she plans to use her Vegetation Sage Aura there. Xumi Ruo offers to accompany her, which she accepts. As the two circle around the school while walking Pang Dali like a dog, much to Xumi Ruo's chagrin, they encounter Ye Yan who is in the process of creating his new performance art work that requires someone to perform with him. He then chooses Xumi Ruo to perform with him, which he reluctantly agrees to at Huamu Xian's insistence. He is immediately disgusted when Ye Yan splashes red paint on his hands, who calls it "blood on his hands". Seeing that Huamu Xian is enjoying the performance, Xumi Ruo stays on stage and is then entirely splashed in white paint, which Ye Yan dubs "whitewashing". Despite being angry, Xumi Ruo continues with the performance to appease his cultivation companion, and is promptly splashed with red paint on his head, dubbed "the final cliché". Ye Yan names the performance "The Cliché of Whitewashing Someone With Blood on Their Hands", and considering it as part of the act, brawls with a furious Xumi Ruo.

Thirty minutes later, the performance ends with Xumi Ruo laying beaten on the stage, having been outmatched by Ye Yan in physical combat. Ye Yan reveals to him that he chose the plant monster due to his attractive physical appearance, which makes him suitable for acting as a whitewashed character. After the Nightwatcher bids farewell to the cultivation couple, Xumi Ruo swears to kill him for the humiliation.

Meanwhile, Yinluan and Qinglian are seen meditating together on a rooftop. Qinglian asks if Yinluan plans on removing the trash on her head. The Shuangling Immortal rejects the idea, resolving to brand the shame in her heart. She then stands up and cleans herself with the **Cleansing Spell** before departing to exact vengeance on Huang Xiaoyan. She eventually finds Huang meditating near a ledge. After making sure no one is nearby, she approaches Huang, oblivious to Ye Yan standing next to her, having camouflaged himself with white paint.
