The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5438

“Medicine cauldron?!” Caden was stunned for a moment when he heard Sonia’s question.

He was very puzzled as he thought to himself, ‘How did Sonia know about the medicine cauldron? Didn’t my master say at the beginning that this secret would only be known to the leader of the Taoist Sect and that this secret should not be told to anyone else? Why would he tell Sonia about this matter?!’

As he thought about this, he deliberately beat around the bush and asked, “Sonia, where did you hear about this medicine cauldron? Why don’t I know anything about it?”

Sonia frowned, and her tone sounded a little exasperated as she said, “Master, back then, your master told me that there is a treasure in the Taoist Sect. He told me that it’s a medicine cauldron with miraculous effects. He said that only the future leader of the Taoist Sect is qualified to inherit this treasure. Since you’ve already decided to pass on the position as the leader of the Taoist Sect to me, you should also pass the medicine cauldron to me, then. Otherwise, how am I going to face our ancestors or my successor in the future?”

Caden never dreamt that his master, who had told him countless times never to reveal the secret to anyone else before he passed the medicine cauldron to him, would actually reveal this matter to Sonia himself. He could not help but wonder, ‘Master, do you really dote on Sonia that much or do you have no trust in me at all?’

He was immediately so embarrassed that he could only say hesitantly, “Sonia, you might have recalled wrongly. There is no such medicine cauldron in the Taoist Sect. I think my master was just teasing you on purpose.”

Sonia shook her head and said, “That’s impossible. Your master told me clearly that there is indeed such a medicine cauldron in the Taoist Sect. It’s absolutely impossible for him to joke about something like this!”

With that said, she could not help but ask Caden, “Master, that medicine cauldron is a treasure of the Taoist Sect that has been passed on for thousands of years. Don’t tell me that you’re thinking of keeping the medicine cauldron for yourself?”

Therefore, he could only sacrifice his own reputation. He had no choice but to bear it even if all the disciples of the Taoist Sect would find out that he had lost the great ancestral treasure of the Taoist Sect.

Sonia was very angry when she heard Caden’s words. She did not expect that Caden would deliberately hide the existence of the medicine cauldron and even play dumb when she asked him about it.

Sonia could not help but question him, “Master, what do you mean when you say that I should pretend that there is no such thing in the Taoist Sect?!”

Caden replied shamelessly, “From now on, you should forget that there was a medicine cauldron in the Taoist Sect!”
