This chapter opens with a conversation between Mi and Miss Chiyuan. Mi tells her that her cultivation will increase rapidly after taking the potion. Mi asks why she is giving him this potion, and Mi replies that her highness wants her to participate in the combat trial so that she can slow xia-honglian down during the trial. Mi says that if she doesn't listen to him, she will kill herself. Mi wonders if she trusts Mi too much, and wonders if he's relying on her too much. She says that she's not sure if she really knows him, but that he is the first person she has ever met in the world. She wonders how she will subdue Mi if she becomes friends with him. Mi thinks that she will be able to survive in this world if she can become friends with Mi. Mi wants to stay by the window, but Mi reminds her not to push herself too hard.
