This chapter opens with the entrance of the underground tunnel, where the noble families have gathered to meet with ling. ling asks yuning what's up, and ling says that he's been waiting for ling to come in, so he won't spill the beans. . He's surprised that ling hasn't gone in, since ling saw him and didn't like to wait for him there. He asks ling about his clan, and he says that his clan isn't powerful enough to keep a wolf like ling in heaven. He also says that s/he doesn't look like a prince or a prince-in-waiting, and his cultivation level is lower than that of the ninth prince and the tenth prince. He tells ling that if he wants to teach ling a lesson, he'll have to rough him up a little bit, so that he won1t be able to do so himself. He says that since he was a young prince, he has always been a gentle guy, and that he doesn1t want to be a jerk to ling, who is a powerful man.
