Zack confronts Yuna for protecting Aiden, calling him a liability. Yuna says Aiden saved her from a Crimson Sect attack, so she brought him in and thanked him with pills. Zack warns the Celestial Sect may be disqualified in three days and urges Aiden to leave; Aiden volunteers to claim Felix's death to shield Yuna. Later, disciples find Lord Shaw's Celestial Sword manual and grade-five pills and offer them to Aiden, who refuses. When someone finds Aiden's unexpected pouch and asks, "How did you know where the sword energy would strike?" the question hangs, leaving the sect unsettled.
