However, Jinshi can’t get the incident regarding him, Maomao, and Lakan out of his mind. Then, we cut to Lihaku informing Maomao about some strange instances concerning theft, tools, and other things.
Maomao informs Jinshi about what Lihaku told her. To get Maomao excited about the case, Jinshi offers to give her some Ox-bezoar, a rare type of medicine, if she works hard. Maomao accepts the task and heads to the archival building to do more research on the cases. During her research, a gentleman provides her with knowledge regarding the Board of Rites and ceremonial buildings.
Realizing ceremonies are integral to her studies, the gentleman shows Maomao a diagram of the Altar of the Sapphire Sky building. After sharing his old concerns about that building’s pillar with Maomao, Maomao rushes to the building to prevent a calamity from occurring. This results in her getting into a heated argument with a guard.
Their verbal confrontation leads to the guard harming Maomao. However, Maomao doesn’t back down and pleads with the guard to let her inside. It isn’t until Lakan gets involved that the guard lets her pass. Maomao saves the noble from death and learns the noble in question is Jinshi. Jinshi’s upset that someone hurt Maomao, who ends up falling unconscious in Jinshi’s lap.
Jinshi picks Maomao up and departs the alter without uttering a word. The episode closes with a close-up shot of Jinshi’s deadpan face.
