The next morning, the Lord tries to convince Guppy to come back to the house, but Guppy refuses, saying that he is tired. He tells Guppy that he has to go back to Shaohua to see the North's commander, who has been injured in battle. Guppy tries to persuade the Lord to let him go, but the Lord refuses. He says that he needs to transcribe all of the books he has read, so that he can see Guppy again. The Lord is delighted that Guppy has been so diligent in transcribing all of his books, and Guppy is sure that he will be able to see him again soon.
