Mingyue and her little sister sneak into a merchant ship and spy on the empress and her men. Mingyue tells the young master that he should change his clothes quickly because he is beautiful. The empress sect has no interaction with the sea, so they must be summoned by either the chixian or the demon sea, Mingyue says. He hates the little girl because she is cut off from the sea. He says that he accidentally twisted his ankle so he ordered Lin to help him. The little girl is quick-witted and tells Mingyue that her name is junior sister and that she must not have taken a bath today because her name was mingyue and she was about to go for a bath. She tells him that she is waiting for him to come with her.
