Lin tells his brother that he kicked out the genius because he betrayed his master and fought with feng-jue to be the senior disciple of ling-qingxuan. Lin says that if he can't get him, then he and Ling-xing can both die together. Lin explains that he had planned to send Ling-xuan down the mountain, but that the demon-qi is forcing them into the cave. He says that he can make Ling-Xiang stronger, and that she will fall to his side when he is stronger. Lin tells him to accept him, and he will be able to protect him forever. Lin asks if they will leave the cave together when the plague passes, and Lin says no, because they are masters and disciples.
