Xue Ruanruan finally completed the potion and distributed it to everyone. When the mysterious tribe launched their attack, they found the magic's effectiveness greatly diminished. Murong Xun led his guards in a valiant resistance, while Xue Ruanruan led a medical team to treat the wounded. Ultimately, the country successfully resisted the mysterious tribe's invasion and continued to prosper. Later, the mysterious tribe conquered the country. Xue Ruanruan was the first to notice something amiss; she discovered that many people in the city were behaving strangely. She quickly informed Murong Xun, who immediately arranged for an investigation. After some investigation, they discovered that the mysterious tribe was secretly using magic to control some of the people. Murong Xun frowned, knowing the crisis was insidious. Xue Ruanruan suggested that perhaps they could find a way to break the spell by examining the roots of the mysterious tribe's magic. Therefore, she and several elders skilled in medicine and occult arts began their research. Meanwhile, Murong Xun strengthened the city's defenses and trained soldiers, preparing for a large-scale attack from the mysterious tribe. The Left Prime Minister, upon learning of this, even considered taking advantage of the chaos to collude with the mysterious tribe and seize greater power. He secretly sent people to contact the mysterious tribe, unaware that Xue Ruanruan's spies had been watching. Xue Ruanruan informed Murong Xun of this, and the two decided to turn the tables. When the mysterious tribe met with the Left Prime Minister's men, Murong Xun led his men to capture them all. Enraged that their plot had been exposed, the mysterious tribe launched an attack prematurely. A fierce battle ensued, and whether Murong Xun, Xue Ruanruan, and others could lead the country to successfully resist this even more intense attack and ensure its continued prosperity remained uncertain. The two joined forces to investigate. Following the clues, they found the shaman hiding in the shadows. A battle between good and evil ensued, with Xue Ruanruan using her medical skills to resist the witchcraft, while Murong Xun relied on his martial arts to fight the shaman in close combat. The shaman was very cunning, constantly casting spells to interfere with them. Xue Ruanruan carefully dodged the witchcraft attacks while searching for a way to break the spell. Suddenly, the sorcerer summoned a cloud of black smoke. The smoke quickly spread, its pungent odor making it difficult for Xue Ruanruan and Murong Xun to breathe and blurring their vision. Murong Xun wildly brandished his sword, trying to dispel the smoke, but to no avail. Xue Ruanruan, quick-witted, remembered reading in a medical book that certain types of witchcraft could be countered with specific herbs. She hurriedly rummaged through her medicine pouch and finally found several key herbs, quickly crushed them, and had Murong Xun take them. Within the smoke, their breathing gradually stabilized. Xue Ruanruan then scattered the herbs around, and the smoke slowly dissipated. Enraged that his magic had been broken, the sorcerer summoned a group of black shadows that pounced on them. Murong Xun fought bravely, while Xue Ruanruan protected him. After a fierce battle, Murong Xun finally reached the sorcerer and thrust his sword. The sorcerer screamed and fell dead. With the sorcerer's death, the controlled people returned to normal. Xue Ruanruan and Murong Xun exchanged a smile; the crisis was finally over. However, they knew that the Left Prime Minister's conspiracy was not yet over, and undercurrents still flowed within the palace; new challenges awaited them. She quickly took out several herbs from her medicine pouch, lit them, and threw them into the smoke. The aroma from the burning herbs gradually dispelled the black smoke.

Enraged by his failed plan, the wizard summoned a horde of evil spirits that attacked them. The spirits were terrifying, baring their fangs and claws. Murong Xun bravely fought back, engaging the spirits in a fierce battle. Xue Ruanruan, meanwhile, searched for the wizard's weakness, preparing to deliver a fatal blow. Just as Murong Xun was locked in combat with the spirits, Xue Ruanruan seized the opportunity and shot a specially crafted silver needle at the wizard. The needle struck the wizard accurately, causing him to scream in pain as his magic instantly failed. Murong Xun seized the chance to rush forward and kill the wizard with a single sword strike. The crisis was averted, the people returned to normal, and the country once again enjoyed peace. Xue Ruanruan and Murong Xun's bond deepened during this battle. Suddenly, darkness enveloped everyone, and panic gripped them. Xue Ruanruan, forcing herself to remain calm, groped for Murong Xun's hand. "Don't panic, there's always a way," she whispered reassuringly. At this moment, a mysterious force seemed to be at work; vines suddenly sprouted from the ground and tightly bound the group. Murong Xun struggled to cut the vines with his sword, but more vines appeared. Xue Ruanruan remembered seeing a similar scene in an ancient book, and thought that fire might be able to break the spell. She hurriedly shouted, "Quick, get some fire!" Yan Xiao reacted quickly, lighting a torch, and the vines retreated upon contact with the flame. However, a strange laugh echoed from the darkness, and a huge phantom appeared—it was the wizard who had been thought to be dead! It turned out he had faked his death using evil magic, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

But just as one crisis subsided, another arose. Someone in the court impeached the Regent for colluding with the Xue family, using the grain donation as a means to seek personal gain. The Regent was in a predicament, and Xue Ruanruan was extremely anxious. She knew that if she couldn't clear the Regent's name, not only would her previous efforts be in vain, but the Xue family would also be implicated. Therefore, she decided to secretly investigate the mastermind behind the impeachment, fighting for the future of the Regent and the Xue family. She proposed setting up temporary granaries in several surrounding towns to alleviate the immediate crisis. Upon hearing this, a hint of appreciation flashed in the Regent's eyes, and he paid more attention to Xue Ruanruan. After the prince left, her father was also quite satisfied with Xue Ruanruan's performance.

The wizard roared with laughter, "You will all die here today!" Murong Xun and Yan Xiao stood ready, while Xue Ruanruan searched for the wizard's weakness. Suddenly, phantom attacks erupted, and an even more difficult battle began again. Whether they could escape danger once more was a nail-biter. Through the smoke, Xue Ruanruan heard the people's painful cries, her heart filled with anxiety. She remembered the methods for combating witchcraft recorded in ancient texts, quickly took out several herbs from her medicine pouch, lit them, and let the aroma dispel the smoke.
