"Tom chuckled softly at this, his laughter growing louder and louder until it finally burst into a hearty roar. Then, looking at Shi Wushuang, he said, 'What a beautiful speech. The darkness before us is merely a process, and I believe what you say. I also believe your original mind is as vast and righteous as your divine light. But I would also like to ask you a question... Whose order? Whose Doctrine of the Mean?'
Without even waiting for Shi Wushuang's reply, Tom pressed on directly: 'Your order! Your Doctrine of the Mean! And who is to judge your right and wrong?! The world? Or the individual cogs beneath your order? You have made yourself quite clear: what you care about is only order, only the Doctrine of the Mean, not any single individual, nor right and wrong, black and white. Then tell me, what if your order and your Doctrine of the Mean are wrong? What then?'
'Then it must be changed!' Shi Wushuang replied immediately. 'To correct one's mistakes is the greatest virtue. If my order has errors, it will be corrected. I am not a man incapable of admitting fault.'
