The next day, lin asks xia if he can keep the five feng-yue destructive items. xia replies that he can only keep the items if lin and his sisters accompany him to the emperor's gate planet. lin says he can agree to the terms, but that he will have to pay an interest fee on the items. He says he wants to join the other jian clan members, but he doesn't want to be associated with the rest of them. He tells xia that he needs to make a gift for the powerful lord of the divine mind, who is about to celebrate his birthday. The clan leader says that the sacred cauldron is what he's come for. He's sure that xia and bing have lots to discuss now that they're the clan chief, and he'll give it to lin for him to take home. .
