In this chapter, we learn that Yulong is a disciple of the wanling academy, and that he has been accepted into the academy without taking a test. He tells his brother that he is not interested in learning more about the academy because he does not think he is good enough to compete with the other disciples. He also tells him that his grandfather, elder Hexin of the sacred place, is a very protective and kind man, and he should not push the issue too far
