In this chapter, Ching-ping tries to explain why he doesn't love anyone else. He says that he loves himself because he's super satisfied with his life. He's happy to set spiritual values for the society, open a peaceful inheritance to come, and establish a sense of meaning for the people. He also explains that his father was imprisoned when he was five, and that he lost his only older brother in the chaos of the night's raid. He goes on to say that he was nearly humiliated in the ministry when the emperor accepted him as his student partner. He explains that he helps the emperor protect his purity of heart, and he hopes that he won't have to deal with the evil thoughts of his father. He feels like he has lost so many people in his life that he can't bear to be around them anymore. He asks the moon and the wind to stop messing around with him.
