The monk and Dong'er discuss the monk's pouch. The monk says that his great father gave him the pouch, but he doesn't know what it contains. He says that the monk had put a seal over it, but that if the pouch is opened, the monk will destroy whatever inside is sealed. He explains that his current cultivation level is so high that he can't break the seal, but if he reaches the soul emperor's level, he will be able to open the pouch. They're still brothers, but they're now lovers, and they need time to get to know each other. They talk about the night before, and the monk says he never expected that wang-dong was a girl. He tells the monk that there's an article in the library about rare martial souls that says that one of these rare souls is a luminous butterfly goddess soul, and that only female soul masters are allowed to practice this soul. He also says that he and the other monks at the academy knew about wang'dong being a girl from the moment she enrolled in the academy. He asks the monk why they didn't tell him and even allowed him to stay in a dorm with her, and he says that's because she's likely to be the leader of the clan's heiress, and since the academy has a close relationship with the clear-sky clan, they could expose her identity. So the monk leaves, and everyone waits for him. He wants to tell them about his unique soul ring, but the elders are waiting for him, so he's going to explain everything to them.
