She wasn't exactly told to avoid conflict. She was told to threaten the lives of Raven's tribe if she didn't hand over Vernal. Salem said nothing about avoiding conflict.

You're right, though, this volume has had a miniscule amount of action and hasn't really been having anything of substance happen, so there's no reason to get our hopes up until maybe the finale.
