In the ancestral hall of the Lin family, Duan, leader of the eagle sect, has arrived to find Lin. Duan tells Lin that the sect has risen to an influential position in the city, and that the family can no longer afford to be associated with such people. Lin tells Duan that he has converted all of the family's business earnings into banknotes. He wonders what tricks Duan used to get Duan to come to meet him. The prince of Ning has arrived, and Duan asks Lin if he knows the prince. Lin says that the prince is a distinguished person, and he has prepared a gift to celebrate his reunion with his family. He says that he especially searched for the jade bracelets to gift to him, and they are the "cream of the crop." He thanks Duan for his sincerity, his highness, and then he leaves.
