The chapter opens with Ren saying that instead of worrying about the gods, he's going to be wise, protect himself, and stay alive. He tells Ren that shortly after Ren left, a demon attacked the mansion, but Ren refused to hand over the ring. The demon started killing people there, and Ren was injured while protecting him. Ren asks if he wants to see the people slaughtered, and he says he doesn't. Ren tells him that he can go, but that he must leave the ring behind. Ren says that he is the ji family's guardian, and that he wants Ren to do what he can to protect him. He asks Ren to trust him from now on. Ren explains that the demon, lord shui-ling, has not sealed his power, so Ren can't use it to stop Ren and Ren from getting the ring, even though the demon's essence is still there. Ren then tells Ren to go back to the ji mansion, take the ring back, and wait for Ren. Ren thanks Ren for his help
