In this chapter, Ming Yang explains that the medicine he used to cure his father was made by Siyun, who is the founder of the sect. Siyun is a powerful woman who likes flowers and plants and likes to make incense, but she also has "her foolish moments" . Ming Yang tells his father that he has heard that a man named Min Pei has come to stay at the sect, and that another man named tina has also come, but Ming Yang says that he thinks tina's sword dancing is better than Min Pei's. He also tells Ming Yang's father that if they don't have a meeting with Min Pei, they won't be able to cure him of his manichaism.
