The chapter opens with a soliloquy by the young master of the west tap. The young master tells the other master that he doesn't want the two of them to fight each other because he's worried that they'll get into trouble if they get into a fight. The other master is worried that the master from the east tap will be too close to him, so he'll be the one to get in trouble if he gets into trouble. Young Master Xiao is worried about this, too, because he thinks that young Master Zillah and the other young master will be in trouble as well if they fight. He's also worried about the two young master's father and his father, who are both members of the same divine feathers sect. The two young masters are competing for a position of chief in the outer division of divine feathers, and they're competing with each other for the same position. The three young masters will have to take a test to see if they can form their fate soul, which is the soul that determines who they are and what they will do in the afterlife.
