While Anji was forced to recuperate and rest on Doctor Yun's orders, the Mytical Qilin Sect became three times busier.
Yan Ping declared on the day of Anji's return that they would host a 'humble' succession ceremony. It was only humble in comparison to Anji's meritorious achievements. Although Yan Ping had dismissed most of the succession officiation ceremony's traditions, a few still remained.
Anji had grown a little taller in the year that she spent in the successor's trials. As a double celebration with her birthday, the Mystical Qilin Sect invited guests from outside to participate in the banquet as witnesses. New robes for the banquet and succession ceremony were being made. A large open garden was being transformed for a reception, as the pavilion was occupied for emergency patients due to the ongoing war. Yan Ping did not want a huge crowd, so none of the Elders were mandated to attend the assembly. However, four of six Elders insisted on not missing it.
