On that night Nianshi entered the cave, the night wind was freezing cold. Ming had to find shelter where he could build a fire to keep him warm and glanced at the cave entrance.
Base on what he remembered, Nianshi told him not to enter the Cave of Truth, but he needed to find shelter from the cold.
"I think it's fine to stay at the entrance."
He entered the cave, but he didn't go farther inside. Exhaustion took over and went to sleep. He didn't notice the mountain was shaking and the spirit of the Cave of Truth placed him in the illusion to overcome his greatest fear.
In his dream, Ming saw himself in Fengfu together with Xinyi. He was at the dinner table with his family and his wife.
"Ming! Are you okay? You look confused," Lifen asked him.
"It's nothing, mother." Ming replied.
After dinner, Ming went to his study room, and a soldier arrived.
"Why are you here late in the evening?"
