Wei Wuxian is rescued from the cave by Jiang Cheng, and returns to Lotus Pier to heal. When he wakes up, he is disappointed to hear that Lan Wangji has returned to the Cloud Recesses. Jiang Fengmian visits him and praises him for defeating an ancient yao, causing Jiang Cheng to feel insecure. But then Madam Yu appears, and criticizes Wei Wuxian for antagonizing the Wens, and then criticizes her husband for neglecting his own son. Jiang Cheng is horrified and Wei Wuxian comforts him, vowing to stay by his side as his right-hand man when Jiang Cheng becomes the sect leader. A few days later, Wang Lingjiao appears at Lotus Pier to seek revenge against Wei Wuxian. She demands Madam Yu punish him and cut off his right arm. Madam Yu whips him but stops when she discovers that the Wens intend to turn Lotus Pier into an overwatch office. Furious, she attacks Wang Lingjiao and is about to kill her, but Wang Lingjiao calls for Wen Zhuliu to save her.
