Gaojun uncharacteristically appears lonely. Though Shouxue is concerned, she is unable to ask why. Several days later, Gaojun visits Ye Ming Palace to show her a haunted mask. The ghost haunting the mask apparently responds to a type of foreign lute. The problem is solved when Gaojun is able to provide such a lute. Gaojun tries to leave, but he is stopped by Shouxue.
His troubles went silent for a while, 
but they are becoming a burden again.
خمدت متاعبه لفترة، لكنّها أصبح تثقل كاهله مُجدّداً
Bislang haben sie die Füße stillgehalten,
doch so allmählich werden sie zum Problem.
Los que habían permanecido en silencio
han empezado a agobiar al amo.
Los que habían permanecido en silencio
han empezado a agobiar al amo.
Certaines personnes en ont profité
कुछ समय के लिए उनकी परेशानियाँ ख़त्म हो गई थीं, 
लेकिन अब वे फिर से सर उठाने लगी हैं।
perciò finora sono stati in silenzio,
Seus problemas ficaram em silêncio por
um tempo, mas voltaram para assombrá-lo.
И пусть эта гниль осталась позади,
она до сих пор обременяет господина.
