Sonia said angrily, “Master, what’s the difference between you and a father who has lost his son telling his family ‘Let’s pretend that we never had a son’ after he goes home? Do you think it’s appropriate?!”
Caden had an extremely embarrassed expression. He could only bite the bullet and say, “The medicine cauldron is indeed gone, and I have no way of getting it back. What do you want me to do?”
Sonia questioned him, “I need to know where the medicine cauldron is and who has it!”
Caden avoided her gaze and hesitated as he said, “Sonia… Since the medicine cauldron is already gone, what’s the point of you holding on and questioning me about it? What you should do now is to take the leader token with you and return to the Taoist Sect to carry out your duties as the leader of the Taoist Sect!”
Sonia continued reasoning with him, “Since you’ve already passed the position as the leader of the Taoist Sect to me, it is my obligation to recover the treasure that has been passed down for thousands of years in the Taoist Sect. No matter what it is, I have to find the medicine cauldron and bring it back with me!”
After saying that, she stared at Caden and asked, “Master, just think about the thirty-eight leaders of the Taoist Sect before you. Will you be able to sleep well at night if you don’t return the medicine cauldron to the Taoist Sect?”
Caden did not know how to respond to Sonia’s question. He could only say indignantly out of desperation, “Sonia, to tell you the truth, I lost the medicine cauldron in a bet.”
Sonia was shocked and blurted out, “Master, what rights do you have to bet the treasure of the Taoist Sect?!”
Caden said helplessly, “I don’t have the right to do that, but I already did it, and I’ve already lost the medicine cauldron. There is nothing I can do about it now. If you’re not satisfied, you can tell everyone in the Taoist Sect about what I did after you go back. Even if you make me out to be a sinner, I have no problem with that.”
