Cong Bo is at it again. This time, hacking into the Dragon City University surveillance system. He stumbles across the feed from the camera hidden in the wall hanging Lau Chu mounted in Professor Shen’s office. And wouldn’t you know, Cong Bo has front row seats to half a dozen of Shen Wei’s abilities. Really, Zhao Yunlan? You never deactivated that thing? OMG.... he's still stalking his own partner/boyfriend after they're official?!😏

A mini smoke messenger appears thru Shen Wei’s office window to inform him that the Regent cannot identify the relationship between Zhu Jiu and “that man”, isn’t sure how they plan to use the Hallows, and claims he cannot remember Purple Wig’s abilities or background. Shen Wei is obviously skeptical that the Regent is so clueless and sends a reply that he has three days to bring him the Dijun Book (a detailed record of the Dixing people and their abilities).

Cong Bo wastes no time before confronting Chief Zhao with the evidence he just collected. Claiming to be a whistleblower whose sole mission is exposing the truth for the good of the public, he gives the Chief three days to go public himself or have Cong Bo do it for him.

That night, a sheepish Yunlan explains their predicament to Shen Wei, who immediately blames himself for the situation. Yunlan assures him he knows the fault is his own. Hello, new hairstyle ;). Of course, Zhao has to show the world he's taken.😏 Shen Wei worries that if they don’t solve this issue quickly, they’ll be attacked from two sides when Zhu Jiu has recovered. But Yunlan has a plan. When doesn't he?

Cong Bo’s insatiable curiosity comes back to bite him when he attempts to hack into the SID. Lin Jing is waiting for him and uses the opportunity to wipe all the evidence off Cong Bo’s computer. Serves him right. Seconds later, Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei appear at his door. Yunlan isn’t in the mood for Cong Bo’s righteous indignation and reminds him he’s committed several crimes to obtain that information. When he still refuses to back down, they show him evidence of how his careless actions and one sided reporting, with little regard for the whole story, have repeatedly ruined the lives of good people. To his credit, Cong Bo appears remorseful, but just as he begins to apologize, the Chief offers him a way to atone: join the SID. This man like to take in strays, it seems.

Zhu Jiu seems to be thinking in his lair when Ya Qiang appears once again to (irritate him) remind him of his duty. When he tries to bite back at her, his injury flares up again, and she flounces back out as quickly as she came, leaving him to stew in his anger.

Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei celebrate their small victory over drinks(water - Shen's low tolerance) and discuss how useful it may be turning Cong Bo into an ally. This leads Yunlan to ask the burning question of the day: just what is Shen Wei’s ability, and why is he seemingly all-powerful? The answer is simple: his ability is to learn, meaning he can turn any power he sees into his own. Which also means, in order to defeat Black Cloak, one has to attack him for the first time, to make it count, before he can takes counter measures. The only restraints on the scope of his power are the Guardian Token and the limits of black energy itself while on the surface of Haixing.

Never one to let any small opportunity pass him by, Yunlan, with his alluring eyes asks Shen Wei for compensation for protecting his secret and manages to weedle him into cleaning the apartment. So petty, but so cute. On the other hand, seeing how he blushes... Shen was hoping for a more direct request of another nature. Oh Chief, how can you let the chance go, when you can have it all?

In his infinite wisdom, Chief Zhao decides the best course of action is to use the Longevity Dial to track the location of the other Hallows. Thankfully, Shen Wei appears just in time to stop him. When Yunlan tries to justify his decision, Shen Wei is quick to point out that the safer (and far wiser) thing to do is to wait for Zhu Jiu to collect the other two Hallows, draw his backer out of hiding, and sweep in to take them all down at once. Yunlan concedes that this plan does make more sense.

Late that night, Zhu Hong is trying to drink away her woes over her unrequited feelings for the Chief while Xiao Guo and Da Qing try to comfort her.

A seemingly lost old man appears the next morning and runs into Xiao Guo. Using the excuse of being lost, he asks Xiao Guo to be his guide. Wouldn't you know, he's headed to SID. Surprised, anyone?

The moment they arrive, Lao Chu spots them and immediately seizes the old man by the throat. Clearly, there's a lot of bad blood between them. Chief Zhao appears just in time to knock some sense into Lao Chu and ushers their guest (who Zhao identifies as the Regent of Dixing) inside.

Turns out, the old man has come seeking the Chief's help, but before he can explain why, Shen Wei appears. Clearly surprised to recognize who the Professor is, the Regent nearly spills the beans to the rest of the crew, but Chief Zhao covers for him just in time.

Zhao suggests they talk in his office, and the Regent immediately begs for forgiveness for his mistakes, most importantly, losing the Dijun Book. Of course he has. Shen Wei is furious as it is now crucial that he reads the information stored in it to learn how to deal with Purple Wig's abilities. Regent explains that he believes the criminal Dingdun (who Shen Wei thought was dead) stole it. He suggests the only way to find it is with Lord Black Cloak's help.

“Don't be so serious.” Zhao Yunlan, trying to calm Shen Wei and stop him reprimanding Regent

“Do not plead for mercy for him.” *hilariously startles Yunlan*
