This chapter opens with a discussion between the two masters of swords, one of whom is the master of the ten thousand swords. The master of swords asks the other two masters if they think the master is likely to lose because of his coldness. The two masters agree that he is probably going to lose, but the master says that it is common for cultivators to sacrifice their cultivation for the sake of some family member. The other masters are shocked at the idea of a man sacrificing his cultivation to save a family member, and the master tells them that he himself is tired of being "pushed around and humiliated" by the machines of swordsmen. He tells the other masters that he wants to become an inner disciple, and that he does not care which of them takes him in, but he appreciates their ambition. He says that if the plan works, he can teach the other master for three days, and then he can continue to learn from the machines. He adds that he will do anything for the other man at any time. Aww, it's too early for the master to call him master, and he says that he used to take the kindness of the master for granted, but when he saw him in three sect towns, he realized that he was not obligated to do so to them. He asks if the master still worries about falling in love with another woman, and wanwan tells him to be careful, because he is the third wheel in the machine world. The letter says that min guihai has gone to visit two beautiful ladies in the past few days, but that the master does not want to fight, and wishes to remain neutral. He will pay a visit to the masters of the two sects in the next few days and then leave them in peace
