372 My New Secretary

(MC POV)

Honestly, that request from Sect Master Feng came out of nowhere. I was definitely not expecting him to say something like that.

I mean sure, the Queen might persecute them for abandoning the country in times of need, but without my support she wouldn't actually purge the Sects right?

I told Sect Master Feng I would need to see the terms to the merger and to give me a little time to consider it. Without missing a beat, he told me he would return the next day with the terms prepared. How eager can he be to merge?

That gave me time to talk to Sect Master Qing after they left at least.

"So… What do you think?" I asked, both of us now seated in his courtyard and alone.

Sect Master Qing stroked his beard, "The choice lies with you Master Lin, they did ask you after all."

I raised an eyebrow at him, "Aren't you the Sect Master here?"

"Hohoho, but it is not me they are submitting themselves to, it is you, Master Lin."
