When Charlie learned that Maxton was nning to incorporate the entire Taizhen Taoism into his sect, he feltpelled to voice his doubts. “This woman has a very strong personality; why would she make such a choice? Did you say something to her?” Hong Changqing quickly disagreed.


    “I dare not hide anything,” he replied hastily. “To Master Wade, I did mention a few things to her…”


    He continued, speaking with a hint of apprehension, “However, my original intention was to gather more support for you. Taizhen Dao has hundreds of members, and nearly half of them are three-star warriors or above. If they choose to follow you, Master Wade, it will only strengthen your position.” Charlie smiled subtly and inquired, “If I’m not mistaken, Ms. Maxton must have advised you to keep this matter confidential, correct?”


    Hong Changqing paused for a moment before responding awkwardly, “Master Wade, your insight is truly impressive… Yes, Maxton instructed me not to discuss this matter for the time being… But since I am now your subordinate, I will prioritize your interests and will inform you of any updates as soon as possible.”


    Charlie felt quite pleased with Hong Changqing’s attitude and replied with a smile, “Alright, Hong Tianshi, you’ve done well this time.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    He then added, “For now, I will act as if I haven’t heard anything about this.”


    Hong Changqing quickly asked, “Master Wade, may I ask if you would be willing to ept Taizhen Dao under yourmand?”<fn9567> The rightful source is Find~Novel</fn9567>


    “That depends,” Charlie responded. “On one hand, there’s the possibility that Taizhen Dao sees me as a victor and seeks to gain resources from me under the guise of allegiance. On the other hand, there is the genuine desire to join forces. What do you think Maxton’s intentions are?” Hong Changqing immediately replied, “It must be the former.”


    “Really?” Charlie scoffed. “I observed that before I left, Maxton was still hostile towards me and even treated you rudely. Why are you so confident that she is sincere?”


    Hong Changqing quickly exined, “Master Wade, I have shared some details about your situation with Maxton. She knows about your capabilities, especially after you helped her open her three-second meridian. She admires you greatly and is eager to support you.”


    Continuing, Hong Changqing said, “To be fair, Maxton’s decision to lead Taizhen Dao to Aurous Hill to align with you also stems from my mention that the teachings of Taizhen Dao have not been fully realized over the millennia. I indicated that you possess some of the advanced knowledge that could greatly benefit them.”


    Upon hearing that Maxton was motivated by knowledge and resources, Charlie smiled slightly and assured, “Don’t worry, Hong Tianshi. If Taizhen Dao is genuinely willing to align with me, I can provide them with the advanced teachings of ‘Taizhen Hunyuan Dao’ and the elixirs that can enhance their cultivation.”


    Hong Changqing couldn’t help but ask nervously, “Mr. Wade, what about me?”


    “You…” Charlie smiled and replied, “I have other ns for you, but I’m not sure if you’re up for the challenge.” Without hesitation,


    Hong Changqing confidently responded, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade! I will give it my all!”


    Charlie then outlined, “I n to establish a training base in Aurous Hill. There will be dozens of warriors studying and training there at the same time, most of whom will not exceed an eight-star warrior level. Your role will be to teach them the first chapter of ‘Taizhen Hunyuan Dao’ without reservation. The more they learn and excel, the greater your contribution as their teacher will be!”


    He continued, “As long as you fulfill this responsibility diligently, I promise to gradually pass on the rest of ‘Taizhen Hunyuan Dao’ to you. This way, you can help the trainees advance while also enhancing your own strength!”
