Sonia’s words left Caden speechless for a moment.
In fact, he knew very well that even if he had worked hard for the entire Taoist Sect over the past few decades, he still could not get rid of the responsibility of losing the medicine cauldron.
After all, it was a treasure that had been passed down for thousands of years and thirty-nine generations. It would be okay if it had disappeared quietly. He would feel a bit sorry and guilty for a while, but he would gradually feel relieved after a long time had passed.
However, the problem was that his disciple had known about the medicine cauldron for a long time, and if she were to tell the other members of the Taoist Sect the truth, he would really become the eternal sinner of the sect.
Therefore, Caden understood why Sonia refused to take the blame for him.
However, Caden was indeed in a difficult situation now. Sonia denied that she was the fortieth leader of the Taoist Sect, and there was no doubt that he was still the leader of the Taoist Sect in the eyes of more than two hundred disciples of the Taoist Sect.
Sonia had now brought more than two hundred disciples of the Taoist Sect here when Charlie’s training was just about to start. How could he deal with both sides?
Caden sighed and asked, “Well, what is it that you couldn’t figure out?”
Sonia said, “Master, I know that Mr. Wade has great magical powers, and I know that you’re eager to gain his guidance, but there is no need for you to give up your position as the leader of the Taoist Sect, right? Your prestige in the sect is beyond the other disciples. If you tell them directly that you want the entire Taoist Sect to be under Mr. Wade’s command, I’m afraid there will be some older disciples who would be unwilling to agree out of their own pride, but they naturally would not have any complaints if you’re the one coming forward. Wouldn’t this matter fall perfectly into place, then? Why do you insist on passing on the position as the leader of the Taoist Sect to me?”
Caden lamented, “In the final analysis, it’s all because I took one wrong step after the other in this matter.”
