The next morning, the chu-xing-yun brat is back at work. He's still not happy with his master's performance, but he's determined to make amends. He tells the brat that he'll be watching him closely for the next three days. The chu tells him that the selection is still three days away, so the brat needs to spend some time cultivating the "spirit gather realm" before the big day. The brat says that the next day, the blackwater city street market is bustling with people. The boss orders ten donuts from the brat. The syrup is so good, the brat says, that he can't even think about giving it to her. The smell of the syrup reminds the brat of the woman from "the hundred treasures pavilion" . She's back, but she's not back yet, so he has five more donuts for her.
