Back at the temple, Ren tells us that he's still angry with chen-qin and that he doesn't want Ren to get involved with the family's affairs. He's also worried about Ren's ability to forge the divine needle. Ren says he can't go to the mansion of the Qin family, because both Ren and his mom are low-ranking members of the family. Ren goes to the star academy, which is a place for the sons of noble families to learn martial arts. Ren is psyched to be at the academy, since he hasn't been there since he was reborn. Ren thinks that he might be able to catch a glimpse of his master, who's supposed to have the "pig-blood" .
