The pavilion master of the wan-jian sect, who has just received his new sword, tells the others to stop messing around with it. He tells them that the sword master has just offended the elders by entering the sect, and that he must wait until the ceremony is over before he can officially become a sword master. The other two men, fan wujie and chang chixiao, are astonished that the pavilion master would put them in this position. They also tell the others that they came to report the rumors about the feud between chang and luo . They explain that the rumors are for the good of chang, and for the cultivation of Luo yun.
