The chapter opens with a description of a contract between humans and ghosts. The contract is a way for humans and spirits to communicate, and it speeds up the process of training. Sometimes, the contract is depressed, but it also conveys the contractors feelings at the time. The narrator explains that the yun-qi-zong has been going on for 160 years. At the beginning of this time, humans and spirit have just begun accepting each other. Although many clans have joined, they don't dare to sign a contract with humans easily, as they have different lifestyles. The two spirits, zhi-yi and tong-xie, are the only ones who signed the contract at the last competition, and they are surprised to learn that there are only a few people at the competition. They go to talk to the other spirit, and he tells him to take care of his spirit, because there are some people who cancelled the contract because of this. He tells the two spirits that they will have a chance to complete their mission together soon.
