As Pei Xuanjing led someone in, the disciples who had been standing by in the Taoist Academy readied themselves, serving tea as soon as the two guests took their seats.

Normally, there was no need for anyone to wait upon Pei Xuanjing in his Taoist Academy. However, just like how the Shenxiao Sect found the need to heed his commands outside his great hall, many competed over the place of Pei Xuanjing's rotation in the academy.

People all over the land now knew Pei Xuanjing's experiences well, especially the background of his sole disciple, Pang Hong, the junior leader of Shenxiao Sect, many of whom were envious of and admired, wish they could take their places immediately.

After all, being by the side of Pei Xuanjing meant that, even without the chance to be his disciple, one could benefit significantly from his teachings and influence on one's cultivation.
