The Dust Settles

Within the esteemed confines of the Blue Hall Sect's Qingyun Hall, after several deliberations among the elders of the sect, Elder Yun Zhiming stepped forward.

"Yagyu Misaki, our Blue Hall Sect, a lineage of Daoist tradition spanning many years, finds it contradictory for you, as a woman and a Japanese, to inherit our Daoist heritage. However, since we have agreed to the three-trial covenant, we shall not renege on our word."

"Today, the topic for the third trial is 'governing by non-interference.'"

"Governing by non-interference is the core principle of our Daoist philosophy. If you can comprehend this, you shall pass this trial."

With these words, Yagyu Misaki's expression turned serious. Though her knowledge of Daoist scriptures was limited, she had heard of governing by non-interference before.

Because she had heard of it, she had a better understanding of their words.

This topic was not easy, it could be vast or minute, depending on the stance of the Blue Hall Sect.
