Yu Ziqing lit the fire before leaving, then nestled himself back in Jinlan Mountain.
The saying goes, transitioning from frugality to extravagance is easy, but the reverse is difficult. Given the recent endeavors he was involved in, leaving home without any protection made him feel insecure.
As the ancient saying rightly points out, even a cornered beast will fight back.
When pushed to the limit, he too was ready to bite someone, and by considering others' perspectives, he concluded that when others are pushed, they can do anything.
Slaying someone like Qing Ziyu from Jinlan Mountain, or capturing and interrogating him, naturally became the most convenient course of action.
Yu Ziqing decided not to leave home anymore, choosing to remain quiet for some time, to let things settle, and even advised Wu Shuangge to refrain from going out for a while.
