South Sky Gate Space Station, a meeting room.
"Suppose we use this Marquis Ape as a hostage and have a conversation with the Empire, letting Ji Xinghe go to Imperial Star..."
"Why should Ji Xinghe be the one to go? Why not send Jackson? Why not send your Ace from Eagle Continent, Cavell?"
"They would not be able to learn Qi, they do not even know Kung Fu."
"And Ji Xinghe can learn it? Is the Emperor of the Empire a fool? Why would he teach Ji Xinghe Qi?"
"We can give it a try. The Emperor might not want to teach, but Ji Xinghe can learn it himself; he can gather more information. If Ji Xinghe cannot learn it, then we will abandon the research into this power."
"How can we guarantee his safety? The Empire has many Marquis Apes, but there is only one Ji Xinghe."
"Yes, there is only one Ji Xinghe, but we have more than just that Marquis Ape, we also have a Prince Ape. A Prince Ape should be more important than Ji Xinghe, shouldn't it?"
