Chapter 318 - 175: Bidding Farewell to the Old Year (Part 2)
Gu Zixu clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, bowing three times in succession.
"The kindness of the Sect Leader is something this elderly man will never forget for eternity. In the future, Sect Leader can rest assured that whatever you require of me, I will fully commit to it."
Gu Zixu was once slandered by the grain officials at the grain storage warehouse, resulting in the Gray Immortal Hall being torn down by the villagers. It was Xu Qing who stood up for him, helping him quell the anger in his heart. Now Xu Qing has given him a chance to resume cultivation through incense offerings; how could he not be grateful?
Guan Dazhuang and Huang Xiaoliu felt similarly.
It can be said that all the immortals present have received favors from Xu Qing without exception, and the favors were not small.
In the circles of immortals where gratitude and favor are emphasized, even selling themselves to Xu Qing would not be excessive.
Yet, in the end, Xu Qing still distributed so many incense offerings to everyone. Such an immortal hall would be difficult to find anywhere.
By comparison, other halls, including Yellow Immortal Hall where Huang Xiaoliu was once favored by the esteemed Huang Immortal, have never received such high benefits.
Faced with the bows of the immortals, Xu Qing remained silent.
After all the immortals were seated again, Xu Qing slowly opened his mouth and said:
"Next year, I may have to go wander far away, with an uncertain return date. During this time, Cat Immortal Hall will depend on all of you to manage diligently."
"While I’m away, Cat Immortal Hall should act low-key, avoiding greed for incense offerings. When dealing with people, let Dazhuang take the lead."
