The next day, Ren tells the others that he's not going to kill himself again. He wants to go back to Asakura, where his injury is almost fully healed. Ren asks if the lord has sent any news about him recently, and the answer is yes. Ren also asks if akechi has found the temple where oda and her father are supposed to be. The answer is no. Ren says that they don't even know the exact date on which the two of them left for the temple, because they're too passive. Ren tells Akechi that they'll have to act quickly if they want to catch liangtian. He also says that if they catch him, he'll be taken to his death.
