It is a tradition repeated every year. A disciple or even the heir would be chosen from the sect and they and the other four sects have to find them. It is a play where one attempts to catch traitors or those who have committed big crimes. The tar- ahem, the 'chosen one' will receive something that will help him from getting caught. "Mother, I think this will last till next year." "For all that that Wei Wuxian is good for I didn't think that he could be so quiet to stay under our noses without us even hearing him snicker." "I'm getting even more curious about what Wei-xiong received to help him." The game lasts so long that the sect leaders begin to get involved.
