Bing asks why Ling is running away, and Ling explains that he's not sure how to answer his question. He's afraid that Bing will find out about his identity, so he has to figure out a way to escape. He tells Bing that he is a big liar, and that he has never met someone like him. Bing tells him that his first encounter with him was a coincidence, because he was an orphan and learned to survive. He also tells him about the masters of illusion, and how he can use them to his advantage. He says that during his time in the white deer cliff he was always happy, but that now that the day has arrived, he can finally feel "easy." He asks Bing why he is not letting him go, and he says that they have been deceiving each other for so long that they can't leave without his permission.
