The narrator and the other members of the sect discuss the pros and cons of shopping. The narrator points out that they have a unique way of recording their combat scores. The axe is now theirs, and they want to take away the weapons of their opponents. They argue that it's a crime to steal someone's property, but that they can't because they're in the martial arts. They explain that they've humiliated the officials by defeating them, so they don't need to be angry. They also point out that a white swordsman will shave the defeated opponent's hair in order to make him look like a defeated warrior. This is like a "trade" , the narrator says. He adds that the swordsman is smart enough to change his tactics from defeating an opponent and stealing their weapons to collecting their "souvenirs" . He says that he has no plans to leave the sect.
