"Welcome back to the branch, Xu Feng," said the enthusiastic voice of the Artifact Spirit Xiao Bao.
"It looks like this branch has developed quite well during my absence," Xu Feng remarked while looking at the teleportation area which had expanded tenfold.
"Of course, give me a little more time and I'll be able to contend with the main branch," boasted Xiao Bao proudly.
"Master Xu, you should go home first. In a while, I have a few tasks I'd like to request your help with."
"I also want to invite you to serve as the Great Elder of a side sect here at the branch," Xiao Bao added.
"Aren't there any other masters available? Why must I be the one to step up?" Xu Feng asked, puzzled.
"While there are many masters in the side sects, I've found that only you are adept at teaching the Dao."
"Don't worry, I'll make sure you're well compensated, and I'll grant you access to the branch's privileges," assured Xiao Bao.
