Phoenix in the Imperial Palace

The next morning, Cai Ming asks his brother why he is there. Cai Ming tells him that he has come to apologize to his sister's "imperial concubine" , who has heard that Cai Ming has made a "appointment" with her. He tells Cai Ming that his sister is "brainless" because she has heard of his appointment with her, and she cannot wait to see him beat her because of this "kind of woman." Cai Ming says that he does not want to have his brother anymore because he usually spoils his sister "too much." He adds that he is afraid that if Cai Ming sees him, the prince will not need him anymore. He says that the next morning the arena will be ready for the battle, and Cai Ming wants to be the first to fight.
