When she arrived at Yuzhou Island, she managed to retrieve the real thing.During the meeting, the old woman saw through the fake at a glance, and Jiang Ci had no choice but to reveal the real cat. However, the old woman lied that the master had gone to Yueluo City to look for her, but Jiang Ci had no doubt that he was there.In fact, it was Wei Zhao's plan. The old woman had already received his guidance, and her skill in identifying objects was superb, and she successfully misled Jiang Ci.
Afterwards, Jiang Ci gave Wei Zhao a homemade clay cat to ask for his help in getting to the moon.As everyone knows, Wei Zhao was under the secret order of Emperor Liang to monitor Lu Yu in Mingzhou, so he secretly tricked the mud cat and destroyed the things given by Jiang Ci.One day, Wei Zhao and Jiang Ci went out and deliberately caused a collision, causing the baggage to fall to the ground and the clay cat to pieces.Wei Zhao comforted her with gentle words, while on the other side, Pei Yan knelt down and begged all night to find out the secret of Rong Yudie.Rong Yudie revealed her family's sacrifice and urged Pei Yan to seize the throne.
