Senior brother chen asks if they're just going to give him up. He's worried that he's not going to be able to cultivate because of the "low spirit rank cloud piercing needles" . Senior brother qin, the leader of the Baiyu pavilion, comes in and tells Senior brother xiao that he already rejected his proposal of marriage the first time. This time, he wants to propose to his junior sister, who is a member of the Luoyun sect. The reason for the rejection, he says, is that the upcoming grand tournament is going to take place in the same place, and the pavilions of the other two sects are going to get the same number of spots. This means that the pavilions from the two other sects will get even more places in the upcoming tournament than they did last time, and that's going to make them even more popular with the other three sects. This is a big deal, and Senior Brother xiao wants to know if he really is in love with the junior sister. He says that it's a pity that she keeps rejecting him, but he also says that a new disciple has been trying to woo her.
