The next morning, Cang and Lingyu prepare to leave for the city. Lingyu tells Cang that his brother-in-law, yuan, has returned to the school and is now the leader of the school. Cang tells Lingyu not to be rude to him and to take care of zhuru, who has lost her facial expression. He says that she is the right kind of girl for the job, and that she will be punished if the clan overhears him.
