The next morning, the snow-wind family is discussing the possibility of ziyun becoming the next mayor of the city. Uncle Shen-hong says that nie-li has gone mad, and that it's a normal thing for young people to get into arguments with elders. He says that he and his daughter are both at the top of the black gold rank, but that he is more powerful than his daughter. The city lord says he can't stand the arrogant behavior of the young man, because it tarnishes his reputation. He also says that even the director, who is also a member of the family, isn't going to interfere in the matter, since he's too old to be an uncle. The uncle says that both he and her daughter aren't really that bad, since their eyes are fine. The director and the city lord, he says, are both trying to protect him, but the uncle thinks that this is just a ploy by nie li to get the mayor's job. He adds that if zi-yun becomes the mayor, he'll do everything in his power to help her. He doesn't think that the other families will approve of it, since they don't like outsiders.
