We learn that the magistrate wants to see the masters of the martial arts. He's invited them to inspect some herbs that he's been preparing for the elixir assembly. The martial arts master says he'll go with the magistrate, but that's not the case. We learn from the martial art master that the appearance of the two masters at the assembly has boosted the prestige of the event. He apologizes for his rudeness at the last elixir assembly, and thanks the two martial arts masters for their presence. He also apologizes to the family for killing their son, and says that he hopes the magistrate will intervene in the matter. He says that the family has lost their son and wants revenge, and he hopes that he won't be able to intervene. He doesn't want to ruin their relationship, he says, and will offer advice no matter what their plans are.
