Songrim had been making many changes to the constellation basin for the past days. It was so they had more time in Cheonbugwan.

"This is good enough." The Cheonbugwan mage said. "The constellation basin is fixed. So take all your laborers back to Songrim."

"Do not be ridiculous." Da-hye said. "It is not perfect yet." Da-hye shook her head.

"We think it is good enough." The mage responded. "What is it with you?"

"Goodness, look at that." Da-hye clicked her tongue. "How can you say that is good enough? Do you really not know anything about style?" Da-hye asked.

"The lower part of the basin is a different color from the top." Dang-gu said. "We should exchange the lower part."

"You have exchanged it many times already." The mage raised his voice slightly. "We think it is fine."

"The leader of Songrim promised to return the constellation basin to its original form." Yul said. "We cannot let a single mistake slide."

After that, the three of them went to talk to Jin Mu.

"The construction normally takes a day or two at most." Jin Mu said. "But it is taking quite a long time."

"Do you feel uneasy that we keep coming here?" Yul asked.

"What is there to feel uneasy about?" Jin Mu asked. "I just think Songrim is wasting its time and money."

"Do not worry about money when it come to Songrim." Dang-gu said.

"The constellation basin is yet not to my liking." Da-hye said.

"To your liking?" Jin Mu raised his eyebrow.

"Yes." Da-hye nodded.

"The last time I saw you, you and Yul seemed pretty skilled." Jin Mu said. "Have you both mastered Chisu?"

"Yes." Yul said.

"Then you two must be the first mages in Jeongjingak  to have mastered Chisu." Jin Mu said. He turned to look at Yul. "Like father like son. Your father, Seo II, must be proud." Jin Mu told him. Yul nodded his head.

Jin Mu kept complementing Yul and Da-hye's skills. They were just waiting for the laborers to get everything wrapped up so they could go back to Songrim.

Yul had gone to Jang Uk's house to visit him. Tomorrow was Uk's final duel, if he did not win against Cha Beom, he would lose whatever Mu-deok and the Crown Prince had betted on. Da-hye could not understand why Uk had forfeited when she offered to fight him and let him win.

The next day, Dang-gu, Yul, and Da-hye were discussing Uk's duel.

"Once Uk returns, Beom would want to have the duel right away." Dang-gu said. He had not known that Uk had already returned just last night. "But he is busy fishing right now? And Mu-deok is letting him do that?"

Da-hye actually had a theory for that. Uk was fishing in lake  Gyeonchondaeho. Da-hye had read about a golden fish that could be caught at Lake  Gyeonchondaeho only mages who achieved Chisu could do it. Could Uk be trying to achieve Chisu?

"I doubt she would have let him." Dang-gu said.

"So you can also see that Uk listens to Mu-deok." Yul said.

"He is stubborn about things no matter what other tell him." Dang-gu said.

"Yet, he always listens to Mu-deok." Da-hye said. Da-hye wondered, was Uk in love with Mu-deok? Were they both in love?
