In this chapter, we learn that the secret passage in the mansion was discovered through a book called "Nine Shadow Hidden Tricks." The narrator explains that he has read the book many times, and that he is able to find even the most obscure passages in the book. He tells us that the master of the sect is wiser than him. The narrator then tells us how he was given the title of sect master by the master. He says that he said something to the master, and the master decided to give him the position. He asks the narrator if he would tell the girl if she married him, and he says, "shame on you, in your dream!" The narrator says that if she refuses to marry him, he will use some tricks to get her to do what he tells her.
