Outside the inn, Lingwei asks Renji if they're about to take Bi Wen back to the school. Renji says he's fully aware that there's a lot of time for the leader, and Renji tells him to be quick. He also reminds Renji that he'll make sure that the school doesn't fall apart if he tries to harm the elder members of the clan. He tells Renji to hand over Bi Wen to Renji so that Renji can save the other two. He's not sure why Renji has to sacrifice one of his sons to save Renji's life, but Renji points out that the woman Renji used to call now has changed her name to zuoshi, which means "nuclear."
