Typically, the current leader and their sessor would return together to the Taizhen Dao Dojo, where a grand ceremony is held in front of the Taizhen Dao disciples. During this event, offerings are made to the ancestors of Taizhen Dao. This entire process is essential for the new leader to officially ascend to the position, witnessed by both themunity and the ancestors.
However, Hong Changqing is currently fixated on gaining the favor of Charlie and is reluctant to return to the United States to pass on the leadership. <h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
In addition, he harbors a desire for Charlie to personally witness him handing over the leadership to Maxton.
This way, Charlie would be convinced that Hong Changqing has no ulterior motives.
That’s the reason he called Maxton all the way from America.<fn0ce8> Fresh chapters posted on findnovel</fn0ce8>
Although Maxton was unaware of her master’s true intentions, she refrained from asking questions out of respect for him.
Her respect also extended to not scrutinizing her master’s cultivation.
Had she taken a closer look, she would have discovered that Hong Changqing’s cultivation had regressed to a four-star martial artist, which is a level below her own.
After they left the airport, Hong Changqing stopped the car and headed to Shangri-La.
Although he didn’t initially n to stay at Shangri-La, upon learning about Charlie’s identity, he rushed to book a room there. His sole purpose was to be closer to Charlie, even if only slightly.
Once they arrived at Shangri-La, Hong Changqing instructed Maxton to check in while he stepped out of the hotel lobby to call Charlie.
At that moment, Charlie had just returned to the urban area from the Champs Elysees Hot Spring Hotel. Seeing Hong Changqing’s call, he answered promptly, asking, “Master Hong, is there something you need?”
Hong Changqing responded with humility, “Master Wade, you’re too kind. I don’t have any instructions; I just wanted to ask you for a favor…”
Charlie replied casually, “I’m a bit pressed for time, so please get straight to the point.”
Hong Changqing quickly exined, “Master Wade, my eldest disciple has arrived in Aurous Hill. I n to pass the position of head of Taizhen Dao to this disciple tomorrow. I would be honored if you could witness the ceremony.”
Charlie chuckled softly, “I’m not part of your Taizhen Dao. Why would you need me as a witness for your session?”
Hong Changqing insisted, “Master Wade, I have pledged my loyalty to you moving forward. Once I announce the new head of Taizhen Dao, I will officially withdraw from the organization and will only follow yourmands. Hence, I hope you can witness this event.”
Charlie teased, “Master Hong, I remember you were quite respectful of your teachers. Why the sudden decision to leave your school?”
Feeling embarrassed, Hong Changqingughed and said, “Master Wade… As the saying goes, a wise bird chooses its tree wisely. I hold immense respect for your strength and character. Being by your side would not only be an honor for me, but also for Taizhen Dao!”
Charlie couldn’t help butugh, “Master Hong, I didn’t realize your ttery was more impressive than your martial arts skills. You’ve outdone even the patriarchs of Taizhen Dao!”
Hong Changqing replied quickly, “Master Wade, your strength surpasses that of the Taizhen Dao patriarchs. The ‘Taizhen Hunyuandao’ I mentioned earlier is merely the beginning. This realization has greatly impacted my subordinates, not to mention my own students…”
Charlie chuckled again, “Alright, enough with the ttery. When do you intend to hand over the position to your disciple?” Hong Changqing eagerly responded, “The sooner, the better. It depends on when Master Wade is avable.”
Charlie pondered for a moment and replied, “Tomorrow morning works for me; you can choose the location.”
Hong Changqing eximed, “Master Wade, let’s have it at the Champs Elysees Hot Spring Hotel! I wasn’t fortunate enough to enterst time, and I hope you can give me that chance this time…”
