In this short scene, the young hero tells his father that he has come to the "vast world" from the "earth" and that all his "dou-qi" has been taken away from him three years ago. He asks his father why he is not playing with him, and he tells him that he will spare the young man's life if he does as he says. He also tells him not to travel alone, as the law of the universe says that one day, the hero will return to being his former self. The patriarch of the yun-lan sect tells the young protagonist that his fiancee has arrived, and she will be his dou- qi within six months.
