The two young men, Ming-Ling and Xiao-Xue, arrive at the door of the palace and greet each other. The young men ask each other how they are doing in the divine feather sect, and Ming says that he is happy to see them, as he is sure that they have someone to talk to. He asks where his courage lies, and the young man replies that he does not have the courage to give up, because he has not yet attained the heavenly realm. He is surprised to learn that the young woman he is talking to is actually talking to a man named Ling-Guang, who he thinks is the best genius of the generation. The two men begin to talk, and when Ming-Liang introduces himself, the young men agree to sit next to each other at a small table.
