In this chapter, we learn that the Ming family has been fighting bandits in the mountains for generations, and that the ancestors of the current Ming family have been sacrificing their lives for the sake of the people of the district. The Ming family is a half-ancient martial arts family, and the patriarch of the clan was a great warrior, but he died during the war, leaving only half of his technique intact. The other half disappeared, and Ming's inner strength is not good enough to use it. He asks his master to protect his grandmother and sister from bandits, and he promises to do so.
