Three years have passed, and no one has found out about the fact that she's been pretending to be a nun for the past three years. She's getting used to her new identity, and she likes her sisters at the hovel more and more, so she hopes she can stay there for the rest of her life. She tells us that she doesn't have a lot of dependence on the sect, but she'd like to lose some weight. Sister cuiping and her brother, san, come in and tell her that they've taken down a criminal with a bounty on his head. They explain that the criminal is a thief, and they're currently looking for him. They're recruiting female officials for their office, so they hope that women like her can come and work for the country. They say that they hope she can serve the country, but that she has no plans to leave the sect. They leave, and Sister Cuiping asks her if she can give her her contact information. She says that after knowing her true identity, she feels awkward spending time with her, and that's why she'll always be her best friend. They talk about the upcoming election for the saintess of the sect's office, and both vote for the other.
