Today's scene to be filmed was Shen Jinyou and Gu Tianlin's first confrontation.
Gu Tianlin, with the secret mission to steal the "Qiankun Cover," left the Imperial Palace, became an apprentice under Xia Chongming, the father of Xia Qingshao at the Hengshan Sect, and repeatedly encountered Xia Qingshao on Qiankun Mountain. His purpose was to make Xia Qingshao fall for him, so she would willingly reveal the whereabouts of the "Qiankun Cover."
Shen Jinyou was astute and discerned Gu Tianlin's ill intent. Thus, he secretly arranged a meeting with him, intending to warn him. Unexpectedly, upon disagreement, the two engaged in combat at the foot of the mountain.
The essence of the scene lay in Gu Tianlin's shock at his first glimpse of Shen Jinyou's appearance; despite finding him somewhat familiar, he also sensed his innate talent during their fight. This aroused a sense of camaraderie between heroes, and he did not strike with full force.
