Caden was once again speechless. Charlie said, “Why don’t you write out the Taoist Sect’s martial arts mental cultivation method and show it to me, and I’ll know at a glance whether it’s complete or not.”
Caden’s face turned pale, and he was depressed as he said, “Master Wade, just say the word if you want the Taoist Sect’s martial arts mental cultivation method, and I’ll write it down for you immediately. You don’t have to try to fool me like a child…”
As he spoke, he explained sincerely, “I’m not reluctant to share our martial arts mental cultivation method with you. I’m mainly worried that I won’t be able to face my ancestors in the future if our martial arts mental cultivation method spreads out to outsiders in the future…”
Charlie snorted and said, “You claim to be loyal to me but you still miss your ancestors. You’re really hypocritical!”
Caden quickly waved his hand and said, “Master Wade, you’ve misunderstood! I’m truly dedicated to serving you wholeheartedly and I wouldn’t dare to be half-hearted toward you at all. Everyone can tell of my loyalty to you!”
Charlie smiled contemptuously and asked him, “Caden Howton, let me ask you, who is greater to you? Your Taoist Sect or me?”
Caden smacked his lips, pursed his lips, then scratched his head and said with much difficulty, “Master Wade, I dare not play any tricks, but when I first became a disciple of the Taoist Sect, I swore two oaths to my master. The first oath is that I would never betray my master in this life, and the second oath is that I would never reveal the secrets of the Taoist Sect to outsiders, even if it’s just ordinary disciples within our sect. In addition, I would help to find the next successor to take over and become the leader of the sect, and I’d spare no effort to train him and let him carry on the mantle of the Taoist Sect! I cannot be forgiven if I fail to do any one of these things!”
Having said that, Caden had a pained expression as he said, “But now that I’ve pledged my allegiance to you, I feel very entangled and at a loss for what to do…”
Charlie said coldly, “Caden, I asked you to tell me which is greater to you, but why are you beating around the bush in front of me?”
Caden mustered the courage to say, “Master Wade, I believe that you should generally be greater than my sect. Therefore, I’m willing to do my best for you, but you cannot make me violate the oath that I made to my master…”
