The young general asks the young master about the legend of his skills. The young master tells him that the legend is that the knife-thrower of the west end and the fast-hand of the east end are carving masters. The two masters would be able to use the seal of the general as an excuse to kill the other. He agrees to go with the rest of the party to find the two masters. He tells the young general that the poison in his body has cleared, but it could be better to keep Lady Yaoguang around to keep her company. He says that he doesn't want xiaosi to go alone because he is known to man. He also says that the time has come for them to leave, and that he has spent the past few days secretly asking for information about the whereabouts of the fast hand. He asks the girl to hold him while he goes in, and she agrees to do so. She asks the master of the house if he is the fast man, and the master replies that he is. The girl asks him if he has something to ask her, and he says he does. He then asks her if she knows about the death of the dead fast man. She says he must have been tortured before his death.
