Everyone's eyes widened in shock—even Tang Ning looked at her in disbelief.
"Sect Master, are you for real?" one of the peak masters asked, stunned. Everyone shared the same reaction. The legacy technique was a top-tier skill passed down from one sect master to the next, and only the current and future sect master—handpicked by the current one—could learn it. Giving it to Tang Ning meant she had been chosen as the next sect master.
"Yes," Hui Mei said firmly. "I've decided this is the right time to confirm my heir. Besides, she'll need this technique in the upcoming competition."
After hearing the confirmation directly from the sect master's mouth, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief. For the next few seconds, the peak masters didn't move, their gazes darting back and forth between Tang Ning and Hui Mei. Even Tang Ning was numb from shock, staring at Hui Mei like she was some kind of exotic beast, which irritated Hui Mei.
