If we were to go into hiding, that's admitting we're weak and fear being challenged. Now it is true, that it will cause tension from rivals but that presents them with either, taking direct action and essentially proving that for an allegedly powerful group they are afraid of a couple of people they never even heard of.

In which case the best they can do is send followers to spy where all I'd have to do is convince them were in the right anyway. Regardless, it begs the question. If these sects really were as powerful as they claim, then why do they fear someone who is supposed to be no threat to them so badly?

Mulan obey and sleep on the roll, tired from day full of efforts.
