Yuanshan: What are we waiting for?
Both Shang and him waiting on the side of the road underneath a tree.
Shang: The east wind.
Taking a quote from Romance of the Three Kingdoms' Zhuge Liang, Shang looks at both ends of the road, expecting something to turn up.
Yuanshan: What east wind? We should hurry on instead. The meet might be starting anytime.
Shang: Why are you in a rush for? You had seen your son and the meet will not start until the main dish appears.
Yuanshan: Main dish?
Sounds of a carriage came from one end of the road.
Shang: The main dish is here.
Shang blocks the carriage path by standing in the middle of the road.
The incoming driver of the carriage sees Shang and stops the carriage.
Driver: Who is blocking the carriage?
Shang: White Socks (Bai-wa-zi).
Shang shouts out to the driver.
White Socks was a secret organization that Lu Xiaofeng thought up in Lu Xiaofeng novel. He thinks this might be the one that is controlling Red Shoes.
Driver: White socks? Madam, this….
The driver calls out to the carriage.
????: Driver, wait for me here.
Driver: Yes, Madam.
A beautiful lady in her thirties comes of the carriage after speaking.
Lady: Kangmin is pleased to meet Mister Shang.
Kangmin gives a bow to Shang.
Kangmin is the wife of the Beggar Sect vice chief, Ma Dayuan and the mistress of Dablit Guaif’s King Zhennan, Duan Zhengchun. She is originally the cause of Beggar Sect’s chief Xiao Feng’s expulsion and identity exposure. Her reason for doing that was revenge against Xiao Feng for not accepting her and her advances.
Her fate changed slightly when Shang finds her in a village.
Shang turns himself into a friendly neighbor, helping Kangmin whenever he cans.
Kangmin did not try her advances on Shang as he did not fit her tastes.

With Shang’s support, her life starts to improve slightly until she meets Ma Dayuan who falls heads over heels with her.
After Kangmin becomes Madam Ma, Shang invited her to join the Red Shoes.
Shang: Didn’t I tell you there is no need for formalities?
Shang moves forward to prevent Kangmin from kneeling.
Kangmin: But….
Shang: There is something more important I need you to do.
Kangmin: Please say.
Shang whispers several sentences to her ear.
The meet was about the investigation of Ma Dayuan’s death. It is also where Xiao Feng’s true identity as one of the Khitan people, will be exposed to the martial world.
Due to Shang’s intervention, Kangmin plays no role in Ma Dayuan’s murder. She is only there to witness the outcome of the investigation. The true perpetrator is still one of the Beggar Sect’s elders, Quan Guanqing.
Another elder, Bai Shijing is supposed to be involved in the murder but without Kangmin’s involvement, he stays as the selfless man as he always was.
Kangmin: This…
Shang: This is just a small request. If it's too troublesome, then there is no need for you to do anything.
Kangmin: I understand. I will see what I can do.
Shang: Thank you.
Kangmin: I shall take my leave, Mister Shang.
Kangmin stops in her tracks before she continues moving towards the carriage.
Yuanshan: So this is the woman you and my wife have been discussing the other day,
Yuanshan comes out and stands beside Shang.
Shang: She’s just a pitiful woman.
Yuanshan: Is this what you mean by no matter how pitiful a person is, there will be something hateful about that person?
Shang nods in silence.
Shang: The east wind is in position, my friend. Let's go to the meet.
