[Synopsis]
Despite being attacked by an assassin with a secret technique, Maomao and Jinshi managed to escape into a cave behind a waterfall. As they attempted to find a way out, Maomao discovered a certain secret that Jinshi had been hiding all along. Jinshi decided to confess this secret himself, but... Meanwhile, back at the banquet hall where Jinshi and the others had disappeared, a message was delivered to Basen: "The lord's clothes were found on the rocks, and it is possible he was swept away." This caused unease among the attendees. However, this was all part of Maomao and the others' plan to flush out the culprit with the secret technique.
