Serena was hesitant to call a boy younger than favonovel.com “Master” and expressed favonovel.com reluctance to Master Vail.
“Master, I think Mr. Wade is about the same age as me. We young people should stop being so old-fashioned.”
Master Vail was alarmed by favonovel.com response and quickly reprimanded her. “Serena! Don’t show disrespect towards Master Wade!”
Serena was a little angry and responded, “Master, it’s up to you what you want to call him. I’m just stating my opinion.”
Master Vail scolded favonovel.com again, saying, “Serena! Don’t be rude!”
Charlie intervened with a smile. “Master Vail, Miss Gray is right. It’s just an old formality. Why force her?”
Master Vail sneered and quickly responded, “Master Wade, you are right. Let’s drop the formalities.”
Serena was surprised and somewhat dissatisfied. She had always seen favonovel.com master as a humble person, and his behavior seemed out of character.
In Serena’s eyes, Master Vail had always been very upright. She believed that, as the head of Mystic Harmony Sect, favonovel.com needed to exude a certain aura, and it was normal for outsiders to perceive favonovel.com as cold and arrogant. However, this time favonovel.com didn’t understand why favonovel.com was treating a young man with such groveling behavior.
Serena had been a follower of Mystic Harmony Sect since favonovel.com was seven or eight years old, and had deep feelings towards it. Seeing favonovel.com master act so humble towards Charlie, favonovel.com felt that the image of Mystic Harmony Sect had been lowered, which favonovel.com couldn’t accept.
She expressed favonovel.com displeasure, “Master, you asked me to come all the way here. What is the matter? Can you talk about it now?”
Master Vail responded, “Yes, of course.”
He looked at Serena with a serious expression and continued, “Serena, as your teacher, I need to tell you something important. It has been decided that the Head of Mystic Harmony Sect will be passed on to you immediately. You will be the leader of Mystic Harmony Sect in the future, and I hope you can lead it to greater glory.”
Serena was in shock and asked, “What? Master, you’re going to pass the throne to me now?”
“Yes!” Master Vail said firmly. “The reason I called you here is to pass on the headship to you, in the presence of Master Wade.”
Serena was puzzled and asked, “But why? According to Mystic Harmony Sect’s past practice, you should be passing on the throne to me at least ten years later. Besides, I am still inexperienced, and I won’t be able to convince everyone if I take over now. Master, please reconsider.”
Master Vail waved his hand and said, “The practice you mentioned is just a coincidence. Mystic Harmony Sect has never stipulated how old the head must be before giving up, nor has it set a minimum age for the new head to take over. I think you are qualified for this role and can assume the position now.”
Serena followed up by asking, “Master, why are you in such a hurry to pass on the throne? If you pass it on to a disciple, what are your plans? Are you planning to retreat and practice?”
Master Vail shook his head and replied, “I plan to become a teacher and settle in Aurous Hill in the future.”
“Settle in Aurous Hill?” Serena asked, dumbfounded. “Why do you want to settle there? Don’t you only think about things that are too profound?”
Master Vail nodded seriously and said, “If I pass on the leadership to you, I will naturally stop inquiring about all matters related to the Mystic Harmony Sect. With you in charge of the Mystic Harmony Sect, there is nothing to worry about as a teacher.”
Serena frowned, pursed favonovel.com lips, and stared at Master Vail. She asked, “Master, I want to know why you chose to settle in Aurous Hill. If you cannot give me a reasonable explanation, then I will refuse to accept the position of leadership!”
