This chapter opens with a conversation between xinyu and the master of the sect. The master explains that the sect's most fashionable members have just defeated him in a fight. He says that the three lost together and went shopping to buy clothes, so there is no psychological burden. He thinks that the spirit of "contentment" and "optimism" in the martial arts might be responsible for the defeat. He adds that the staff at the bottom level are affected by such a mentality. He explains that in the past, the sect was the largest martial arts sect in the world. But now, the leader just wants the saintess and him to practice the arts together. He mentions that he should have accepted the invitation from the palace of the elderly and retired, but he says that because of the strength of the enemy, he is unable to do so. He hears that there is a group of immortal martial artists who are willing to help the sect defeat the enemy. He suggests that they should invite them, but the fortune-tellers are unreliable, so he suggests that instead of fixing on the saint, they should look for a handsome man and replace her.
