The patriarch of the ninth and twelfth branches of the han family tells the others that they have just received word that Luotianxing has arrived in the city. He tells them that he is suspicious that the man might be trying to sneak into the family. He suggests that they expel the man from the mansion as long as they agree. The patriarch says that he will take the blame if the two of them and the lord of the house agree. He also says that they should carefully question the man later. He then asks if he can know why they have summoned him to the mansion. He says that some of the information he learned from himngshan village seems to be inconsistent with what the patriarch told them. He apologizes and says he cannot say where exactly he is from. He hopes that the opportunity will be of use to him. He asks if the robe he is wearing is a defensive treasure, and the patriarch replies that it is. He adds that he did not expect this man to have such an impressive defensive treasure. He wants to test the patriarch's abilities. He points out that the robe is not protected by the thousand-command tablet and that the han mansion is not subject to the laws of the city of liuren. He goes on to say that he has already passed the test. He wonders why the patriarch is still testing him now, and wonders if he knows when to quit.
