As Charlie drove out, Hong Changqing, who had been eagerly awaiting this moment at the fork in the road, spotted the BMW approaching in the distance.


    Quickly, Hong Changqing jumped up and dashed to the roadside, forcing a smile as he prepared for Charlie’s arrival.


    Charlie, spotting Hong Changqing from afar, had anticipated that he would be there waiting for him.


    When he finally pulled up, he intentionally eased off the elerator, bringing the car to a halt beside Hong Changqing. With a grin, he called out, “Oh, what brings Hong Tianshi here? Are you looking to enjoy a hot spring?”


    Hong Changqing responded hastily, “Master Wade… my subordinate… I’m here waiting for you…”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “Waiting for me?” Charlie replied, still smiling, “Shouldn’t you be getting ready to head back to the United States instead of waiting here for me?”


    With urgency, Hong Changqing pleaded, “Master Wade, I realize I made a mistake. Please grant me another chance.”


    He quickly retrieved several sheets of paper filled with writing and handed them to Charlie, stating respectfully, “Master Wade, this contains the principles of our Taizhen Dao, which I have copied verbatim. Please take a look!”


    Curious, Charlie inquired, “Master Hong, what prompted this sudden change? This decision seems to go against the ancestral teachings.”


    Feeling awkward, Hong Changqing replied, “Master Wade, please don’t tease me about this…”


    Charlie chuckled and said, “Honestly, Master Hong, how can I feel remorse for your ancestors? In my view, you should immediately discard this document!”


    Determined, Hong Changqing gritted his teeth and dered, “Master Wade, I hereby renounce my position as the head of Taizhen Dao! I have decided to pass this role on to my direct disciple, and I will serve you wholeheartedly from now on!”


    Charlie raised an eyebrow at this revtion, “So you’re stepping down as the head?”


    “Absolutely!” Hong Changqing affirmed. “Mr. Wade, you are correct in your assessment. I cannot serve two masters, so the only option left is to leave my current school.”


    Charlie smiled slightly and asked, “Is that your final decision?”


    Hong Changqing nodded vigorously, “Yes, it’s settled! I will pass the title of master to my disciple today! Rest assured, Master Wade, from now on, I will only follow yourmands and dedicate myself to your service!”


    With a smile, Charlie unlocked the central door and said to Hong Changqing, “Get in the car and tell me everything.”<fn9f2c> Follow current nov?ls on find(?)ovel</fn9f2c>


    Seemingly desperate for a chance, Hong Changqing quickly opened the door and climbed inside.
