It's been a long time since we've seen this scene, but it's getting better by the minute. We're told that the snake has been defeated by a sixth-ranking alchemist, and that the chief alchemist of the han clan is a fifth-ranking standard. The wind-lightning pavilion is considered a top-tier influence in the northern region of central plains. We learn that the hong-chong clan used to have a lot of power in the city of tian-bei, but that power has declined in recent years, and now it can't compete with the wind-litning pavilion. The young mistress is sorry, but the young master wants to send her to the city. He tells her that the current situation is too dangerous for her to continue with them, so they're going to split up to row. They'll take the money and come to visit them at tian, if they can survive this. The girl is all, "what a feisty girl" , and she's not going to be intimidated. She's going to fight for the clan, and for herself. She tells the girl that she has sent people to find her sister, and if she doesn't want her to marry her right now, she can marry her first.
