The chapter opens with a soliloquy by a young man named Kexin, who wants to become a cultivator, but his father has told him that his cultivation is too weak. Kexin tells his father that he will stay at the teahouse for a month so that he can learn how to cultivate. He also tells his master that he is going to give his master the polar bear coat as a gift after one month. The young man asks his master to show him the way to the master's room, but the master refuses, saying that he cannot even handle a child. He then tells the young man that the girl wants to see him, but that she will not come to him in person
