In this chapter, chen shi tells liya that he has tried to take off the bracelet, but he has failed. He asks chen if he can break the iron with his bare hands, and chen replies that he can. Believing that this is a plot by someone, liya tells chen that they still need a divine weapon for the flower festival, which is four hours away. They can exchange an invitation to the banquet with a tribute, but they can only do so if they exchange the tribute with the invitation. Unsure of what to do with the gift she has given chen, she tells him to take it to chen and present it.
