The female cultivator used the art of deceiving the world—manipulating the desires of people to achieve her own aim of controlling everything.
Nuanyu was well aware of this.
How does capital control the world? Naturally, by using desire. The female cultivator was not a capitalist, but she had methods more refined than those of any capitalist.
Desires are collectively referred to as cravings. Material desires are the most commonly used means of control by capital, leaving traces to follow, while the female cultivator employed emotional desires, binding people invisibly. It was even more brilliant.
"In my opinion, Du Zijun is merely bound by fame and fortune unconsciously," Nuanyu concluded.
Ishida Hideko smiled, "I quite agree with you. A philosopher long ago said, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for fame and fortune. While pursuing profit can indeed stir waves, acting for fame is even more likely to trigger overwhelming tides."
