The patriarch of the zhao clan tells his son that all of the blue carp towns are under the control of the dark moon house. The patriarch says that after the festival, he will have to hand over all of his men and women to the darkmoons steward. He says that he would like to kill all of them and sell all of their women to a whorehouse to wipe out the youthfeather's name from the faces of the earth. He also says that if the clan were to fight with the other clans, he would worry that they might kill a lot of them. He tells the brat that his son Xinghe was expelled from the academy for cheating on the divination exam. Everyone at the academy has said that they caught him cheating, but the patriarch says he doesn't believe them. The elder zhao says that they are trying to cover up their shameful behavior just like that. He adds that if it were him, he wouldn't have taken his own life academy already. The youthfeather clan says they will never give up their mine, even if they have to fight against the last person.
