What did this old man say? Could it be that the old sect master he mentioned was also a time traveler from modern times? Apart from this, Mu Yingbao could not think of a more reasonable explanation. "The old sect master said that a new sect master is hard to come by, and he told everyone in the sect to wait patiently. He said that he would eventually appear." When Elder Pan saw Mu Yingbao's reaction, he knew that what he had just said had worked.

Mu Yingbao tried to calm herself down; "Doesn't he mind whether the new sect leader is a man or a woman?"

"Yes." Elder Pan responded.

"How many sect masters does your Wuying Sect have so far?" Mu Yingbao asked expressionlessly.

Could it be that every sect leader follows the rules set by the previous one and only cares about people who have traveled through time?

"Madam, as far as I know, the Shadowless Sect has been established for 188 years. The old sect leader has been in office for 60 years. He was the founder of the Shadowless Sect, so he is the only sect leader so far." Elder Pan said whatever he knew.

Mu Yingbao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. It seemed that the chances of a person traveling through time were not very high. "So, you have been looking for the right person for more than a hundred years? Could it be that you haven't found one yet?"

"Yes, several generations of our sect have never waited for it. I also thought that I would never have the chance to meet the new sect leader in my lifetime, but I didn't expect that God would favor us." Elder Pan said excitedly.

Mu Yingbao held his forehead with his hand and asked quietly, "Your sect leader has been gone for more than a hundred years, why are you still so persistent?"

"When our ancestors entered the sect, they swore an oath to be loyal to the sect master for generations. How can we betray our oath?" Elder Pan said righteously.

Mu Yingbao was completely speechless. Why were these people so stubborn? Wouldn't it be better and more comfortable if the sect leader was gone and no one cared about him? "It's useless for you to find me. I don't have the ability to be the sect leader. You can't do anything to me either."

You know a lot about me. You should know that I am just good at medicine and cooking, but I don’t have any other specialties.

I have a suggestion for you. Don't be too rigid. When your master was alive, you were loyal to him. But since he is gone, and it has been more than a hundred years, why do you still want to be bound by some so-called oath?

The key point is that it was not you who made that oath.

Why don't you just go your separate ways? Isn't it good to live a normal life?

If you think it's a pity for the Wuying Sect to disband, then why don't you just choose someone that everyone trusts to be the sect leader?" Mu Yingbao advised patiently.

To be honest, she really didn't expect that the truth of the matter would be like this. She didn't want to be the leader of a sect. Now, her life was quite fulfilling. "Madam, don't refuse so quickly. There is something here. Madam, take a look first." After saying this, Elder Pan took out a long copper box from his sleeve pocket. Then, he held it in both hands and respectfully presented it to Mu Yingbao. His demeanor and posture were a bit like a eunuch who went outside to pass on an imperial decree. Mu Yingbao hesitated for a moment and took it. When he opened it, he saw a letter inside.

There were a few words written on the envelope: From my fellow villager.

With just these few words, others would think it was written to someone from his hometown. However, only a special person like Mu Yingbao would feel his heart beating faster when he saw it.

Fellow villager! "Madam, please read this as soon as possible. Once the letter leaves the box, it will self-destruct soon."

When Elder Pan saw Mu Yingbao holding the letter, he was not in a hurry to open it to read the contents. Instead, he stared at the envelope with a moved expression on his face. So he had to urge Mu Yingbao to open it anxiously.

This letter box was handed over by the great elders of each generation to the next chief elder in front of the other elders before his death.

While handing it over, there were also some reminders, that is, if one day in the future someone really met someone who agreed to the old leader's conditions, and this person did not want to be the leader, then this letter should be given to him.

However, you must also tell those who are destined to read the letter that it has been specially processed and should be read as soon as possible, otherwise the letter will self-destruct.

Ah? You actually came up with something like this?

When Mu Yingbao heard this, he quickly opened the wax seal of the envelope and took out the letter inside.

I read the above content with great excitement. It was the first time, and I read it very quickly because I was afraid that the letter would be destroyed.

After reading the letter once, I found that there was nothing wrong with it, so I read it again carefully.

Then she found that the letter was fine, so she read it carefully again. But this time, before she could see the last page, the letter paper began to turn black and smoke came out. She quickly threw it on the ground and watched the letter and envelope start to burn and soon turn to ashes.

This fellow is really cautious.

However, what impressed Mu Yingbao was not that the man wrote such a special letter, but his deterrent power. He founded a shadowless sect, and after more than 120 years of his death, the people in the sect were still loyal to the sect.

"Madam?" Elder Pan saw Mu Yingbao staring at the ashes on the ground in a daze and had not responded for a while, so he called out softly.

"Ah, ah?" Mu Yingbao came back to her senses and looked at him. "Bu, you guys go back first. This is not a trivial matter. I can't respond to you right away. Let me think about it."

"Then we will take our leave first." Elder Pan took the lead and bowed to her with his fists clasped.

Outside the house, Xue Wenyu, who had been standing at the door waiting, heard the footsteps coming from inside and immediately took a few steps away.

Watching the door open and the three people coming out, Xue Wenyu noticed that although they still looked a little nervous, they were much better than when they first came in.

He didn’t even see his wife see them off to the door? Xue Wenyu felt strange and hurried towards the door.

When he passed by Elder Pan and his two companions, they greeted him, but he didn't hear them and just went in.

There was a smell of burning paper in the room, and Xue Wenyu saw the ashes on the ground at his wife's feet.

"What did they threaten you with?" Xue Wenyu looked at his wife's dazed look and felt very angry. There was a smell of burning paper in the room and Xue Wenyu saw the ashes on the ground beside his wife's feet.

"What did they threaten you with?" Xue Wenyu asked angrily as he looked at his wife's dazed look.

If so, he would go out and stop the person and give him a good beating.

Mu Yingbao heard a familiar voice, which made her feel at ease. She looked up and met his worried eyes.

"No, but, Brother Yu, can you please not ask me anything for now?" Mu Yingbao was really stimulated today and his head was still confused.

So, if he asked, she didn't know how to tell him.

It would definitely not be possible to tell the truth as it is. After all, this matter is the same as the secret she has been hiding...
