This chapter opens with a soliloquy by the tutor, who explains that modern knowledge has patterns and that you can master them. He then goes on to say that he was going to help the tutor with magic but that seemed unnecessary now. He says that his scores on three of his courses were invalid and that his ranking dropped by over 100. He blames the tutor's friend, Chen yue, for the drop. She is the one who helped the tutor cheat and slander him. The tutor says that he forgot her so quickly and that he will kick her out if she speaks again. He tells her that she will never get good grades by pretending to be a student. She says that her birthday is coming and that her parents are planning a party. She asks the tutor if she can go to her place and keep her company. She tells him that she has celebrated the birthday of feng-jue, but that he is no longer around. She also tells the tutor that she is going to get a gift for the tutor for his birthday. She then tells him to go ahead and look at the big house and the pool. She adds that she knew that the family was rich, but she did not know they were this rich. She wants to know if xiangyang will join them for a drink. He asks if they can find a private place to talk. They approach the girl and she is beautiful. She must be rich
