This chapter opens with a flashback to the events of the previous chapter. The Master of the Ming family is in the middle of a conversation with his daughter, who is refusing to marry any of the suitors for her hand in marriage. She is also very proud of her position in the sect and would like to marry someone suitable for her position as a future wife. The two men discuss the possibility of marrying her, but they are too young and weak to marry her. The family decides to move her out of the city, and the servant tells the Master that the suitors are all ugly. The servant tells him that the Master is busy right now, and he will have to leave if he does not leave now. He tells the servant that he wishes to speak with the Master, but the servant says that he cannot recognize the Master's cultivation, so the Master should forgive him. He then asks the servant if he is really Luo zheng. He says he has not heard from him for two years, and that he has reached the "virtual disaster realm" as well. He asks if he can speak to the Master immediately, and when the servant replies that he is not, the Master says that it is an honor for the family to have him as a guest, but that since his daughter has the "body of stellar yin," it would not be wise for her to stay in the city. He wishes to take her to the protection of cloud hall.
