Han Yu indeed changed the subject with a turn, "I cannot yet contend with the Prime Minister, who holds sway over the court and the country; otherwise, my end would not be much better. Therefore, if you choose to follow me, it can only be in secret."
When Han Yu made this statement, Zhai Li and the others felt as if they were at a turning point. It wasn't that they lacked ambition, but after being pursued for so long, and then seeking revenge, they urgently needed to settle down and live peaceful days for a while before considering their future. The directions from their families weren't for them to seek revenge, but to lie low, preserve themselves, and keep the lineage of their families alive.
"I am willing to follow Master." Zhai Li responded without hesitation; his views on Han Yu were quite exceptional. Not only did Han Yu show him kindness, but he also saved his life, and being hunted everywhere, hiding in the dark was their only option.
