From the catalogue, Anji decided to choose a sage who lived a life completely different from her upbringing and teachings. Yan Ping advised Anji to choose a person she could not understand to view their perspective and broaden her vision, making the training worthwhile. Although it was a risky decision, Anji decided that she would hold onto her principles and not be swayed by the crazy sage who murdered his own family.
"The unfilial sage is an interesting man," Yan Ping agreed when Anji informed her teacher of the decision. "He was born under the star of destruction and paved his cultivation path with blood, building his foundation on bodies as nutrients. One could say that he was far from orthodox. However, we are not here to judge how he lived his life, only to understand it."
