"Qingming?"
"Yes, Sect Leader."
"…I see. Did you say your name was Wei Suoheng?"
"Yes, Sect Leader."
"Instead of jumping straight to the point, why don’t you first explain the situation?"
"Oh. I apologize. I was a bit flustered. The truth is…"
Wei Suoheng began to explain the circumstances.
Huayang Sect is a branch of the Huashan Sect.
Generally, disciples of large sects are divided into two categories.
One is the true disciples who enter Huashan and spend their lives there.
These true disciples receive a Dao name and cultivate their skills while pursuing the Dao.
However, those who learn from Huashan but live in the outside world become secular disciples.
The sects established by these secular disciples are called secular sects, which operate separately from Huashan but are still influenced by it.
Secular sects send a suitable amount of money to the main sect every year, and in return, the main sect helps them with various difficulties they face.
The main sect benefits from a stable income, while the secular sects can attract students by leveraging the name of the main sect.
