The apprenticeship ceremony was completed quickly, and afterwards, the master led us to meet the guests.

First, I met with some high-ranking leaders in the Ministry of Public Security, and exchanged some polite words.

Since we weren't in the same system, my mentor mainly helped me get to know him.

Following them were representatives from some of the major sects of Taoism.

Originally, it only consisted of Xuan Qing and Xuan Wei, two Grandmasters of the Fourth Realm from the Dragon-Tiger lineage, along with several younger members.

However, the Maoshan lineage heard the news and sent Master Huiyi, and the Taiqing lineage also sent Master Qingsong, all of whom were going to participate in the encirclement and suppression.

There were also several skilled personnel from the military, and the police had met their own people.

Furthermore, there are at least four Grandmasters of the fourth realm in Fengtian itself. This operation will mobilize more than ten Grandmasters of the fourth realm, which shows how much importance the country attaches to it.

Everyone gathered together under the pretext of attending our Spirit Ghost Sect's apprenticeship ceremony.

Afterwards, he would use the excuse of entertaining guests to go home and throw a lavish banquet.

But the most interesting one was the person from the Five Poisons Sect in Cangyun Prefecture. Aunt Peng introduced her as the previous Holy Maiden, who was originally a candidate for sect leader, but now she was a busybody elder.

Everyone who saw her would give my master a knowing smile, their faces full of gossip. That's when I knew there was a story behind it all.

When the master saw her, he became even more stammering.

hey-hey,

It seems the master isn't as honest as he appears; this must be the result of a lingering debt from a past affair.

The master stammered for a long time but couldn't say anything, which infuriated Elder Lan.

I just stared at him without saying a word, and I got so anxious after watching him for so long.

He immediately knelt down and began kowtowing, saying, "Greetings, Master's Wife."

As a result, Elder Lan felt embarrassed.

But they agreed, and even gave my sister and me a large red envelope each.

Neither of the elderly women objected to how I addressed them, and everyone assumed they were a couple.

There must have been some story behind it, but since the two of them wouldn't say, I, as the younger generation, couldn't ask.

I'm so anxious! My gossip-loving soul is burning!

My younger sister is quite clever; she immediately abandoned my master and me, went up to my master's wife, and clung to her arm, acting all the way down in a spoiled manner.

She has a knack for dealing with this kind of grandma; she always has a variety of endearing phrases ready, and she can even act cute for no reason.

They were all spontaneous and unpretentious.

It was meant to flirt with the old lady, but after a while I realized it too.

Although his wife also had a full head of white hair, she was clearly much younger than his master.

hehe

So it's a story of an older man and a younger woman; a genius young girl falls for a decent older man.

But some people just love to court death, and this happened right when our big family was having a good time together...

An annoying voice appeared and said, "Master Fang's lifelong reputation..."

In the end, their judgment in choosing people was terrible. After picking and choosing, they ended up picking such a useless person. It's truly regrettable.

Everyone turned to look at me, eager to see how I would handle the situation.

I sighed, thinking to myself, "Why are so many people courting death?" I didn't respond to him, but simply raised my hands in a fist salute.

He addressed those around him, saying, "This humble one apologizes to all the uncles and elders. Today is supposed to be a joyous day for our Spirit Ghost Sect, a day that shouldn't be filled with bloodshed, but some people are simply courting death."

Turning back to look at the young man before him, he sneered and asked, "Boy, now tell me your name and where you live, lest I come to the wrong place when I go to slaughter your whole family."

After I finished speaking, I just kept looking at him with a cold smile. This kid was a coward too; he couldn't say a word when he saw my dagger-like gaze.
