Darryl was the Celestial Wood Altar’s new disciple. If they were to call him Dad, then the Ryukin Gold Altar disciples would not have any dignity left.
Woola!
All the disciples from the other Altars went to take a look. They wanted to see how it would all go down.
The crowd included the Celestial Wooden Altar disciples. They were all very emotional. Their junior brother, Darren, was amazing! He had made them proud!
Diana stood there quietly. Her gorgeous face looked blank, but she was unspeakably proud.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
Tina approached Darryl and bit her lips. “Dad—”
When she said that, she lowered her head. Her voice was incredibly soft; if one did not concentrate on her words, one would not even hear it!
She was extremely reluctant when she had to address Darryl as Dad.
However, she had no choice. She had lost a bet, and the entire Holy Saint Sect watched her every move. If she were to renege on her words, she would be embarrassed to face them in the future.
Darryl scratched his head and smiled. “What did you say? It was too soft. I did not hear it.”
“Dad!”
Tina bit her lips so hard it almost bled. She yelled again.
“Good girl!” Darryl nodded. However, he was not finished with her. He said thoughtfully, “When you see your father for the first time, is it enough to greet him only? Don’t you know the rules? When you acknowledge Master Alan as your master, did you do it while standing?”
His intentions were clear—he wanted Tina to kneel.
“You—” Tina clenched her fists tightly. She was embarrassed and furious, yet she could not retort.
The Holy Saint Sect had strict rules. Every disciple had to kneel and greet their elders when they met them for the first time. That was the rule.
Thud!
Tina bent her knees and knelt in front of Darryl. She had to throw away her dignity and pride at that moment.
“Dad…” Tina said slowly as she lowered her head.
Hmm!
Darryl nodded his head in satisfaction. However, he did not let Tina stand up immediately. He scanned his surroundings as he looked at the Ryukin Gold Altar disciples. “Your Senior Sister has already done so. Why are you still hesitating?”
