The patriarch tells the young master that he learned about the new system from digging up xia Bing's ancestral graves. The patriarch says that the boy, Lin yue, has stolen all the rings of the Elders and the Great Swordsman, and that they should ask for them back. He says that he has abducted his granddaughter and that he can't stand by and ignore her father's illness, so he's abducted her and taken her away from him. He thanks the young man for remembering his illness, and asks him to take care of himself. The young master tells him that he will return when he inherits the patriarchal throne. He promises that he'll follow him all the time, and he says he doesn't know how to go to the Yao clan, but he does know that this trip will not be easy. He tells the elders to go and change their clothes and bring their belt tags, and then he tells them that he already knew he would come. He asks if they're ready to die, and they say that they are, but that they'll see the emperor again soon.
