The next morning, Lingtao tells his son-in-law that he wants to marry the daughter of a member of the jiuhua sect. Lingtao says that he and his wife are already married, and that the other members of the sect are not his match. He tells the boy that the ninth member of his sect is breaking away with some people and that he should leave him to him. The boy is angry that Lingtao is going too far, and he tells Lingtao that he was not trying to offend his father, but that he ruined his family. He asks Lingtao if he will leave his son to him or not, and Lingtao replies that he will, if he wins. He says that if he loses, he will replace him on the list of human beings to be removed from shangshan city.
