"Quick, get the cameramen ready! This is huge news!"
The reporters acted as though they had stumbled upon some priceless treasure, training their cameras on Mo Xie and Zhang Zhiwei. Even without knowing what the two would discuss, the sight of them standing together alone would send shock waves through the Magic World!
Zhang Zhiwei stood with his hands behind his back, quietly studying the handsome young man approaching him. No one could tell what lay behind his keen, gleaming eyes, and a faint smile curved his lips.
Under everyone's gaze, Mo Xie slowly approached Zhang Zhiwei, bowed slightly, and cupped his hands in salute before speaking in a solemn voice.
"I am Mo Xie. I have come today to pay my respects to the venerable Celestial Master."
Looking at Mo Xie bowing with his hands cupped before him, Zhang Zhiwei stroked his long white beard. His face bore a kindly smile as he asked gently.
"My young friend Mo Xie, what brings you to our Celestial Master's Mansion?"
Mo Xie straightened. Now that he was looking at Zhang Zhiwei up close, he could clearly sense the wisps of pressure radiating from the venerable Celestial Master. He seemed like an enormous giant whose body contained boundless power.
This was Zhang Zhiwei, the sixty-fifth Celestial Master of Dragon-Tiger Mountain, the venerable Celestial Master who currently presided over all the Taoist priests of his order!
Gathering his thoughts, Mo Xie spoke earnestly, enunciating every word.
"Venerable Celestial Master, I wish to undertake the Celestial Master's Mansion's trial!"
The moment he finished speaking, it was as though someone had pressed pause. Everyone froze in place, staring at Mo Xie in disbelief, seemingly astonished by his words.
Their reaction puzzled Mo Xie, and his brows furrowed slightly.
*Strange. Why do they all look so
