This chapter opens with a soliloquy by the young warrior, who wants to become the master of his master's army. He tells the master that he has never been asked to teach anyone before, and that the move he has just made is enough to wound even the strongest martial warrior in the region. The young warrior wonders if the master is afraid that he will waste his time. The master replies that he was at the auction, and he did not expect to meet such a group of robbers. He says that the spirit herb is rare, but that the woman in question is a "heaven-breaking martial warrior" and that he hopes that the master does not misunderstand her. He then asks the messenger, Mr. Qin, to follow him to meet his lady. The messenger says that he wants to ask the man about the conflict he had with two of his subordinates, and the young man tells him that he heard that the two women were from the same clan. He wonders if this is the person behind the conflict, and wonders why the master was so afraid of the woman. He asks the master why he should not go with him to the city of the qiao clan, since he is going to miss his family so much. The old man replies that since they are going to go there, he does not need to accompany them. He also says that since the woman was looking at him with sad eyes, he hopes the woman will find him true love
