This chapter opens with a soliloquy by briga moon, who tells us that he will stay in the city to fix the "large spiritual matrix" . He wants to know if he can ask guardian yue to teach him some things. He's never met anyone of his age who has higher cultivation than himself, so he wants to ask him to help him out for a while. He also wants to be able to practice with his master without worrying about what he's going to do next. The two men agree that it's best for them to go down to the mountain and practice together. They also agree that the master should not be a child anymore, but should still be attached to him. This is understandable, since they're both still attached to their master, but they both remember that the other man said before they left that they shouldn't be children anymore. They both agree that they should go and see the outside world for themselves
