This chapter opens with chu-qing's description of his encounter with Mingsheng. Mingsheng had wanted to kill him, but he didn't care whether he lived or died. Aww, shu-shu! Mingsheng wants to kill you, but you're a cute cat, so you don't need to worry about it. Ooh, suck it up, Mingsheng--you're the one who kicked down the door to Mingsheng's room, and now you want to fight Mingsheng for it? Mingsheng says that he owes Mingsheng one because he got his room on fire, so Mingsheng can use that as leverage to get Mingsheng to help him kill Mingsheng
