In this chapter, Luo yun explains that he suspected that someone was trying to kill him and his disciples during the expedition to the holy land. He was attacked by an assassin, but managed to escape. He tells his disciples that they thought they would never see him again, but he is relieved that they are all right. He says that his son normally has bad behavior, and that the assassin had no time to kill his son. He asks the court master to take his blood for his son, and he says that he will take the blood of his son if he can. The court master says that it is a coincidence that he disappeared for a few days, and his son was killed. He blames the whole thing on the disciples, and says that if he had not allowed his disciples to do such impudent things, they would not have died. He adds that the pavilion master had treasured his talent, and now he has even more power.
