This chapter opens with the eldest son of the family, Lin San, speaking to his younger brother, Cai Ming. Cai Ming tells his brother that he has made a mistake, and that he will be more careful in the future. He also tells Cai Ming that he should not be afraid of his cousin, because she is not a threat to his family's power. He says that Cai Ming's family has not formed a strong base for him, and therefore, he will continue to be on the pinnacle of the mountain. He tells his brothers that he must respect the rights of others, and not let them trample on them. He reminds Cai Ming of his master, who is his first priority, and says that he is not at fault for not obeying his master's orders. He adds that he can go to Cai Ming and ask his best friend, young master Luo, to ask Cai Ming for help. He warns Cai Ming not to use extreme methods to gain favor with the people around him, as this will only make them fear him and make them more likely to believe him
