But The Ancient One had no other choice.
If she had any other option, she would never have sent Zhang Yang away.
But Kamar-Taj could no longer protect him.
Even she had nothing left to teach him.
There was no point in Zhang Yang staying at Kamar-Taj.
And that was only part of the problem.

It was like having a surveillance device installed.
