(MC POV)
"End of year festival?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
I was seated in Sect Master Long's courtyard, drinking tea with him on a clear, sunny day.
"Yes," Sect Master Long nodded. "You remember we do have a celebration at the end of every year, right?"
"I know that... But isn't it just an event where you say a few words of thanks? At most we might have a few visitors from the nearby Minor Sects and villages to celebrate the new year with us⦠But I don't remember it being a festival?"
The Sect Master took a sip of his tea, "That would be the case in the past, yes. But because of you and your disciples' performance during the Sect Showcase Festival, there's quite a number of Grand Sects that have sent a request to attend our New Year celebrations. So I thought it might be a good idea for us to organise a larger form of celebration this time."
I nodded, "Alright then, if that's the case, what do you need me for?"
