Jiming asks him if he's going to fight him to the death. Jiming tells him that back then, he cut himself off from the outside world and was indifferent to everything. He also tells Jiming that he never regrets killing Yu Ge. He says that Yu Ge deserved to die, but that the yang family kept harassing him. When he was in the academy, it was Yu Ge who offered to help him, and how did he repay her? Jiming says that he'll come back soon. He tells him not to act like a "righteous man" because he won't be able to leave the capital for a long time. He warns him that if he doesn't leave soon, he will be locked up in the grocery store. The grocery store is in the middle of the city, which means that even if Jiming is locked up, he can still be in the capital. He's also in the city so he can join the fight. He asks if he can use the poison to kill Yu Ge, but Jiming refuses to do so. He reminds him that he killed Yu Ge for the sake of the phoenix, and that it's now time for him to pay for what he did.
