The eldest sister nodded to the second sister, then came over and, together with the second sister, presided over a simple ceremony to invite the elderly woman to offer incense to the ancestral master.
The old woman was able to offer incense to the ancestral master, kneeling and bowing deeply three times, truly showing her sincerity.
She couldn't help but shed tears again, and only with her granddaughter's help was she able to get up.
Otherwise, I'd be so overwhelmed with emotion that I wouldn't be able to get up.
After all, forty or fifty years have passed. Returning to the old mountain gate and revisiting the familiar place, how could I not recall the unforgettable years of my youth?
After being helped up by her granddaughter, the old woman was so excited that her hands trembled as she offered incense. Her granddaughter offered to help her put the large incense sticks into the large incense burner, but the old woman gently declined.
She wanted to do all of this herself and offer incense to the ancestral master.
After finishing, he returned, bowed again, and then got up to talk to his senior sister, Qi Xue.
"This old woman brought some daily necessities with her this time, which I wish to give to the sect as a token of my gratitude as a disciple of the Bixian Sect. I humbly request that my senior sisters grant me permission and accept them on behalf of the sect."
Such hospitality, coupled with her past as a disciple of the Bixian Sect, made it difficult for Senior Sister Qi Xue to refuse.
Senior Sister Qi Xue said, "Senior, if it is just an everyday item, I can accept it on behalf of the sect. If it is a valuable item, I can only ask you to take it back."
"Good, good. It's good that the sect can accept it." The old woman was very happy that the eldest sister agreed, and immediately instructed her granddaughter, "Yuxi, go and invite our porters to carry the things into the mountain gate."
Then he said to his senior sister Qi Xue, "Please also send a junior sister to make arrangements and see where to put the items."
"Senior Sister, I'll go." The junior sister volunteered. She was happy to do these meaningful things for the sect.
The eldest sister immediately nodded in agreement and then said to the old woman, "Please, senior, have some tea and a chat in the main hall."
"Please." The old woman was also looking forward to being able to drink a cup of tea from the sect.
After taking their seats in the front hall, Second Senior Sister Su Qing immediately went to prepare tea.
While waiting for the tea, Senior Sister Qi Xue went straight to the point and asked the old woman, "Senior, you must have come to the sect with some difficulties. If you are willing to help, please tell the sect what your difficulties are. If the sect can help, we will. If we cannot help, we will not force ourselves. Please speak frankly, Senior."
"No, really. This old woman just wanted to come and see the sect's gates," Han Feng said frankly. She didn't want to cause any more trouble for the sect, which was already in a difficult situation.
Upon hearing this, Senior Sister Qi Xue felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She suddenly stood up and said, "Our sect is not as good as it used to be, but it is not entirely useless. If you have any difficulties, please speak up. If you have difficulties but do not speak up, then you are disrespecting our sect. In that case, I can only ask that you do not come to our sect again."
"Senior Sister...I...this..." The old woman, senior Han Feng, suddenly became speechless.
In front of her sect, Han Feng would rather die than bear the reputation of looking down on her sect. She cherishes her identity as a disciple of her sect so much, how could she do this?
