Whether Ancestor Ji Kong was willing to accept disciples still depended on his own intentions; Zhuo Chengdao could not overstep his bounds and make the decision for him.
Zhuo Chengdao did not stay long and left after a brief chat.
Today was exceptionally busy, with visitors coming and going incessantly, leaving no moment of peace.
Not long after seeing off Ye Yuan and Zhuo Chengdao, Ma Zhongyuan came looking for him.
"Senior Brother Jia, your fame has spread far and wide recently! I've come specifically to congratulate you," Ma Zhongyuan said, arriving in the Taoist robe of the Lingbao Sect instead of his previous grey Protector's robe, his face brimming with smiles as he entered.
His 'younger brother' status had changed to that of a 'Junior Brother' in the sect, as if Ma Zhongyuan feared Jia Ren was unaware that he himself had become an Inner Sect Disciple of the Lingbao Sect.
When life grants you joy, you must savor it to the fullest.
