Mingxue runs away from his uncle, saying that he came to him for help after traveling so far, but he tried to make him a cauldron for some other person. He says that he's been hard at it in the upper world, and that it's a good thing that he became a cauldron, because otherwise he wouldn't have been able to help his uncle. Mingxues advice is that he shouldn't interfere in the affairs of others, because he'll pay the price for it. Mingxes sword is a first-rate weapon, and Mingxes grasp of the rules is too shallow.
