Deng chen tells the patriarch of the darkmoon clan that the boy has already reached the fifth level of heaven. He says that the northern lord was furious when the princess declared that she loved the boy. The patriarch says that they've been taxing the clan for a long time, and that if they leave the boy alone, he will surely seek revenge. He suggests that they send a few men to get the boy out of the way so that he doesn't grow up to be a threat to the clan. Deng-chen thanks the patriarch for his help, and says that once it's done, the clan will come to thank him.
