In the corridor, Gu thinks about the fact that he has fallen in love with the girl in the photo. He wonders if she is a mockingbird or not. He also wonders if he is not a mockbird in the eyes of the courtiers. He then turns to jiu-tao and asks him why he turned to lian-ren when he was rejected by him. Gu tells him that he must teach him a lesson. He remembers the girl from the photo and wonders why he is still in the world. He tells her that he will return to the world of wu once the bet is over.
