In this chapter, Mingkong asks the heavenly maiden if she knows that he is the successor to the power of the dead. The heavenly maiden replies that she does not, and that they should be cautious in their decision. Mingkong thanks him for his help, and wonders if he can take him around the palace. He asks if he knows anything about the successor, and Mingkong says that he does not. He feels a little pity for him, because he thinks that if he is really the true successor of the power, he would be able to make a big show of it. He wonders if it could be that Mingkong is the master of the family, and he wonders why Mingkong didn't suspect him. He says that it would be better if Mingkong misunderstood something, because it would have been too young and inexperienced to try to blame someone else. He tells Mingkong that it has been a long time since he suspected him, and she says that she is really liking him more and more
