"I hope you can keep this matter a secret and spare me. I would be immensely grateful. From now on, no matter what happens, I won't trouble you again, and I won't stop these villagers if they want to learn Daoism."
The town mayor pleaded desperately with Lin Beichen to let him go.
Looking at the mayor pleading in front of him, Lin Beichen felt no difficulty in his heart and didn't wish to escalate the conflict further. He only wanted to fulfill his wish smoothly. Since the mayor had realized his mistake, Lin Beichen intended to be magnanimous this time.
He gazed at the mayor and slowly said, "I can let this matter go and not mention it in public, but I want to see your actual actions."
The mayor, delighted, quickly asked, "What requirements do you have? Just say them, and if I can do it, I will go all out."
