In this chapter, we learn that Lady Xuanji has locked the three of them in a room so that she can lock them up. When they finally get out of the room, she tells them that they can use their forging skills to help them steal the iron ring box from the tower. She also says that she will not kill them if they agree to serve her for a short period of time. She tells him that she hates to see him die so quickly, but if he can serve her a few months, then she might not kill him. She says that they have to try and steal the box as long as they can get it back. She then says that smith is not good enough without the tower, and that he is sure to be dead. She asks him if he came up with anything, and he says that he loves to see people making meaningless struggles. He says that the attacks in his line are called "mechanic skills" because they use all sorts of hidden devices to attack others. The tower is supposed to be the controller of these attacks, but he still has to stall them in order to get them to give up.
