after 6 months, the ghost valley has finally accepted an invite for a potential alliance. on the night of their visit, zzs is tasked to check up on the valley master, as a 'courtesy call'.

really, prince jin wants zzs to seduce the valley master - no problem at all.

after all, zzs has been working closely with the ghost valley for half a decade, he's very well acquainted with the valley master - his zhen yan, his shidi.

the ghost valley's appearance in the capital city is no coincidence. of course it is not.

wen kexing, the valley master and zzs's lao wen, has developed an elaborate plan to turn prince jin and the jianghu against each other.

with the ghost valley as ally, prince jin will surely join the scramble for the Glazed Amour and its armoury - exactly what wkx wants.

fuelled by greed and planted rumours, wkx wants the two forces to collide in a destructive battle.

zzs's task from prince jin is to seduce wkx to retrieve more information and keep the ghost valley on a tight leash. no problem since zzs already has wkx attached at his hip.

prince jin will only have realized his losses when it is too late to back out from challenging the jianghu. by then, zzs will have abandoned his cousin and joined the ghost valley with the remaining members of the four seasons manor.

zzs can't wait to watch with delight as his cousin destroys himself and his alleys over false rumours.

all the better that zzs will be freed from prince jin's greed for power and destructive orders to silence rational but opposing voices.

he will Not kill for prince jin anymore

end.
