The two men prepare their dishes for the nine-year-old. The first is a porridge made with white pearl porridge, the second is a red golden jade porridge. The porridge is so special that the old demon cha-ji thinks it is the "white jade pearl porridge" that his master is famous for cooking. The men discuss which dish they think will win the competition. Senior says that he thinks he will win because his duck-and-foie gras soup is very creative and uses cheaper ingredients than his own. The teacher tells him that his loss is not a loss at all, but a loss in his master's identity. The reason why he wanted to challenge the teacher is that it is time for him to leave the place. He has a task to complete, and he wants to leave quickly. He asks the teacher if they can go together, and the two men agree.
