Luo, the junior sister of the hall, tells the headmaster of the sect that she and her brother have been going to secluded places. Luo thinks that her brother is innocent, but the headmaster insists that he is guilty of being a spy for the other clan. Lingfeng, the disciple of the other hall, says that if Luo and his brother do not co-operate, the master will punish him with public announcement. The headmaster says that the punishment for arson will be expulsion from the sect. The new disciple, binglan , is also present, and he says that Luo is trying to save him, but he can't do anything about it. He says that he has heard about the incident, and that it was all a plot by Senior Brother Zhang to destroy the demon intelligence accumulated over the years by the other members of the house. He also says that, according to the information he has received, the real source of the information was moved away by Luo. He asks the headmaster if the intelligence is still there, and the headmaster replies that it has been moved to his room.
