The next morning, Hu tells the sect master that he has decided to let him succeed chu-lingfeng as chief of the hall. He says that standing out among the people is what he has always dreamed of, and that even if he disagrees with the master, his future will be bright if he agrees with him. He asks the master to investigate the matter thoroughly. The master tells him that he still doesn't know about the secret application, but Hu says that he does not believe the man. He tells the master that the man came to the wolf kingdom to find out about the situation with him, but that he did not want to provoke a war between China and the tushan kingdom. The man must have come to provoke the two countries, he says. The sect master tells Hu that he should investigate, but the young man says he cannot push too hard. He wonders why the master wants to find a way to excuse the man, and wonders if he was really confused about what happened to him. The old man tells him not to go to the blind valley, but to look into the matter on his own.
