So, she said to Hong Changqing, “Master, I see that Mr. Ye is of a similar age to me, it is better not to call each other so old-fashioned between us youngsters ……”
Hong Changqing could not help but say with some trepidation, “Siqi! We must not neglect Master Ye!”
Long Siqi also gambled a little and spoke, “Master, what you wish to call it is your freedom, and in turn I do the same.”
Hong Changqing could not help but rebuke, “Si-Qi! You must not be rude!”
Ye Chen said with a smile at this time, “Master Hong, Miss Long is right, this kind of thing is supposed to be a hinging call, so why do you have to force Miss Long.”
Hong Changqing smiled sarcastically and hurriedly said, “You are right, Master Ye, so let’s just call it what it is.”
At the side, Long Siqi, seeing her master being so subservient, was surprised and somewhat dissatisfied.
In her eyes, her master had always been very dignified, and she had always felt that, as the head of the Tai Chen Dao, he did need to have a certain aura, and it was normal for outsiders to look a bit cold and arrogant at some times.
And in her impression, in the past, the master did hold that kind of worldly highness in place, but this time, she didn’t know what kind of medicine the master had taken wrong in Jinling, why would he grovel so much to a young man.
Long Siqi had already joined the Tai Zhen Dao at the age of seven or eight and had a very deep affection for it. Seeing that her master was so humble at Ye Chen, she felt that even the image of the Tai Zhen Dao had been lowered by him, so she was even more disgusted in her heart.
So, she said with some displeasure, “Master, you have asked me to come all the way here, what is it that you want to do, can you tell me now?”
Hong Changqing laughed and said, “Yes, yes, of course you can.”
He looked at Long Siqi and said in a serious manner, “Siqi, I’m not going to tell you anything, I’ve asked you to come here to tell you something very important, that is, I’ve decided to pass the position of the head of the Tai Zhen Dao to you immediately! ”
Long Siqi was shocked and said, “What? Master, you …… you want to pass the throne to me now?!”
“Yes!” Hong Changqing said with certainty, “My master has called you here this time to pass on the title of Sect Leader to you here, in the presence of Master Ye!”
“Why?!” Long Si-Qi asked in confusion, “According to the past practice of Tai Zhen Dao, you should at least pass the throne to me after ten years, right? Besides, I’m still too junior to take over now, so I won’t be able to convince the public! Please think twice, Master!”
Hong Changqing waved his hand, “The custom you mentioned is just a coincidence, Tai Chen Tao has never stipulated the age after which the Master needs to step aside, nor has it said how old the new Master needs to be before he can succeed.”
Long Siqi pursued, “Master, why are you in such a hurry to pass on the throne? If you pass on the throne to a disciple, what are your plans? Are you going to go back to seclusion and cultivation?”
Hong Changqing shook his head and said, “I plan to settle in Jinling from now on.”
“Settle in Jinling?!” Long Siqi’s jaw dropped as he asked, “Why do you want to settle in Jinling? Could it be that you won’t be involved in the affairs of Tai Zhen Dao in the future?”
Hong Changqing nodded seriously and said, “By passing the position of Sect Leader to you, I will naturally no longer interfere in all matters of Tai Zhen Dao.
Long Siqi pursed his lips and stared at Hong Changqing and asked, “Master, I would like to know why you have chosen to settle in Jinling? If you cannot give my disciple a reasonable explanation, then my disciple refuses to accept the position of Sect Leader!”
