Xia Chen fired at their Censorate, triggering a butterfly effect that led to Lu Li's downfall, followed by a massive internal reform within the Lantern Bearers, with Ma Song rising to power.

Xia Chen then took charge of the Eagle Eye Division, and now, under his leadership, the Lantern Bearers have completely destroyed the Censorate's spies in the Capital City.

The origin of all this was that night at the entertainment house, where they truly ended up shooting themselves in the foot.

Back then, it was Li Xi himself who took Xia Chen there, and now he found himself cornered by Xia Chen, facing a dead end. Fate truly is a cycle.
