Yun Qiong returned to the inn, changed clothes and bathed, transforming into a white-clothed knight-errant. Leaving behind a piece of silver, she vanished into the night.
She acknowledged the merits of Daoism, approving of its land policies, as the local people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Only a fool, or someone feigning ignorance, would fail to see this.

Moreover, the way he dealt with the powerful noble clans, through unchecked slaughter and plundering, was clearly not a sustainable solution.
These clans held the majority of knowledge; destroying them was equal to destroying the heritage of the Dao, and in the long run, would that not mean everyone would become uncivilized beasts?
"This person poses great danger to the world."
