• When Chen Lin's turn came to guess a lantern riddle, Xitina stepped forward to answer in his place and told Three-Horns he would fail.
• Three-Horns wagered a thousand Lanshan Coins and demanded Xitina as his woman if he won, so Chen Lin matched the coins and added a strike from the winner as another stake.
