The next morning, the servant asks the master how he knows about the "pure yang fire" . The master replies that he can sense the fire in the servant's body, but the master's leader has already helped him suppress the fire. He says that the master should have studied the sword technique more carefully, because if he continues to practice it, he will lose control of himself and become a "blood-piercing sword piercing his heart." The master says that he cannot save the servant, because he is nothing to him, but that he will ask the servant to be his maid for six months, during which time he will be able to go anywhere he wishes.
