The next morning, Tan and the others are still waiting for their master. They've been waiting all day for him to show up, but he hasn't. He's just gone to get a roll of clay for his oven. They tell him that he's abandoned them and left them "shameless people" . Tan says that's unfair, because if he left suddenly like that, people would figure him out and he wouldn't be able to afford it. He tells them to go back to Suyang and find a giant sword.
