Chapter 164: The Sect Master Is A Real Old Monster!
After Kong Ye’s lecture, Han Xuhan made up some excuses to ditch Xiao Wu and went on a visit to the Sect Master’s mountain peak. But this time, he didn’t get to see the man so easily.
"The sect master has summoned you in," the older disciple guarding Xuan Zi’s residence said after keeping him waiting for an entire hour, with no explanations whatsoever for the wait.
It wasn’t his first visit there. He had been forced to visit the Sect Master on his very first day in Crimson Snow Sect. So Han Xuhan navigated his way through the temple-like building with ease, constantly replaying the planned scenarios in his mind.
After a lot of thinking, he had decided to change his current lifestyle last night. For one thing, he had to make sure he wouldn’t end up suffering the same fate as those protagonists in cultivation novels. The pros outweighed the cons.
It was one of the reasons why he had decided to meet Xuan Zi today. He was going to come clean to the old man, just the opposite of what every xianxia protagonist would do.
Keeping secrets? Making shady deals with shady cultivators? Getting dragged into mysterious realms unsupervised? Being manipulated to do the bidding of malicious experts?
No, thank you! Han Xuhan was not going to accept these shitty subplot bombs being thrown in his direction that easily. He knew how to break out of the template with one simple move!
He found the sect master in the backyard of the building. The old man was, as usual, meditating in a lotus position, seemingly in the middle of a cultivation session.
"Greetings, sect master. I have a matter to report."
