Hong Yi infiltrates the Eagle Clan's territory with a vat of liquor. He encounters Yan Shuang's succession ceremony. Yan Shuang tells him that he's an outsider inferior to Lian Xi. Yan Shuang says that her willful actions in the past only represented her, but now, as the Eagle King, she represents the Eagle Clan. If she makes contact with the Monster Emperor in private, it'll affect the relationship between the Immortal Clan and the Monster Clan. She tells him that they should avoid suspicion. Hong Yi is triggered by her words. He leaves furiously, telling her that they shall only see each other as the Eagle King and the Monster Emperor if they meet again.
