The young master is still wearing his distinctive clothes, and the old man selling porridge is still doing well. The porridge tastes horrible, but the young master thanks his sister yunling for taking him and her younger brother in when they fled to the valley. He says that both of them were forced out of the village, but that they were not their fault. He tells his sister that he was planning to train in the ancestral mountain range, but he ended up in the valley because of the fear of demon beasts. He asks his sister if there are still humans outside, and she says that they haven't been around for thousands of years. He explains that obsidian is difficult to travel because of its scarcity, and that the village only has one warrior, the "star obsidian" . The only way humans can eat meat is by going out to hunt the demon beasts, he says.
