In this chapter, the father tells his daughter that he feels nothing but love for his son-in-law. He tells her that he is reluctant to leave him, but that she can find her own future. They are considered the half disciples of fairy-hua because they were trained by her and die when she is practicing her alchemy. After many years, they each start their own sect. He says that he does not expect the city to remain as it was before, because he did not expect it to become the same as it is now. He asks if something has happened to his son, and he says that it is not worth mentioning, as he is looking for food. He then tells his father that in fifteen months, on the evening of the full moon, he will compete in an alchemy competition with the other alchemists from the lan family. The father tells him that he would have forgotten about the competition if he had not told him about it. He also says that his fourth master, who is also an alchemist, does not check his homework, because she is always looking for ingredients for medicinal potions.
