The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Master Vail was at a loss for words when Serena pressed him with her questioning.

He couldn’t bring himself to tell his prized disciple that he planned on staying in Aurous Hill and following Charlie’s lead.

Instead, he offered, “Serena, after teaching in the Mystic Harmony Sect for so many years, I feel as though I have given my all.

Now that I am getting on in years, I simply want to relax.

Besides, Aurous Hills boasts such breathtaking scenery and agreeable weather.

It suits my fancy, so I intend to stay awhile and see if I can make a breakthrough in my cultivation.”

Serena’s brow furrowed as she asked, “But Master, for more than half of the time I’ve known you, you’ve been in seclusion.

Even when Mrs.

Evans invited you out of the mountain, you told me that you would return to seclusion after saving her family.

But then you didn’t say anything when you asked me to come to Aurous Hills…”

“Why, all of a sudden, do you want to relinquish your position as head and settle down here?”

Master Vail could only offer, “Serena, when one stays in one place for too long, their heart can grow complacent.

I simply desire a change of scenery to see what new possibilities await me in this new environment.”

Serena gazed at Master Vail and then turned to Charlie Wade, who was seated beside him.

She couldn’t resist asking, “Master, even if what you’re saying is true, why would you choose to pass the position to me in this way? According to the customs of the Mystic Harmony Sect, the ceremony for passing the throne must be held in the presence of the other senior brothers.”

Master Vail waved his hand dismissively and replied, “Oh, those are just trivial formalities.

As long as I pass the seat to you, the others will naturally respect you as the new head, regardless of whether they’re present or not.”

Serena’s dissatisfaction was palpable.

“Master, as the head of the Mystic Harmony Sect, it’s important to honor our traditions.

You can’t simply brush them aside.

Besides, choosing a hotel room as the venue for the ceremony seems a bit too casual, doesn’t it? I’ve never heard of any sect holding their head-passing ceremony in such a manner.”

Master Vail’s expression faltered as he realized the inappropriateness of holding the head-passing ceremony in a hotel room.
