This chapter's epigraph comes from the opening lines of the novel, which are: "I can't seems to see, through his intentions, perhaps he is already -- tap fake!" . The epigraph is a reference to the fact that the map of the guzu treasure is a fake. The narrator is shocked to find out that this is indeed the case. He asks the guild leader if he was already aware of this. The guild leader tells him that the real treasure map is likely with the widowed wife of the lord of jinglei city, and that they need to retreat together. He tells the group that they cannot possibly let the treasure map fall into the hands of kongming, now that they have lost the chance to do so. He also tells them that gongqingyue also needs to be saved, but that he is just a nephew, not a son. He admires the man for abandoning a piece of property for the greater good.
