The two guards have reached the third level of the "spirit fountain realm" , but one of them has been defeated by the other. The son of the man who sold the girls to the brothels is furious. He tells the guards that he is the son of "liu yuanchang" and that he has been besieged for twenty days. He says that after hearing what the guards said, he came to realize it would be best to "clear scums" like them off the face of the earth. He does not want to die, he says, but he knows that if he keeps him alive, he will cause trouble for his family and friends after he leaves. He thanks the guards who enabled him to see what had happened and says that the guards will definitely capture and interrogate the girls if he leaves them here. The young master sends a message to the guards saying that his grandfather has asked him to go to the Front Line as a Medical Officer. The guards are overjoyed, but the old man is too old to go. The rumors that the family colluded with the witch have been a lie, the guards say. They are happy that the rumors against the family have gone down, and they are now officially having a place in the city.
