The chapter opens with the narrator explaining that the zhong clan is plotting against him. He says that he has heard that the young master, Xuanji, has an impressive talent and that he should be allowed to try his hand at killing. The narrator explains that he does not care if he is a tool in the family's hands, but that he is urged to leave the killing because he has a woman to cherish. The young master asks him if he understands what he is saying, and the narrator replies that he did not mean to say that the family would kill the illegitimate disciples. He adds that he will not need to do such a thing, as his cultivation level is far above that of his peers. He then asks him why he is so rude to the lowly disciples, and how he can treat them like demons when he can kill them. He tells him that he cannot work if he keeps leaning on him like this. He asks if uncle qing knows about his decision to leave, and he asks if he will be willing to accompany him. When the narrator asks if she is serious, she replies that she is, and that she can still take care of him if a hundred people come to see him.
