Sectmaster Shao was nearing the conclusion of his daily rounds, now pacing in the office of one of his esteemed elders.

“Alright, well, that will be all Esteemed Elder Xiao. Thank you for humoring me as always,”

“It is truly nothing, esteemed sectmaster.”

Sectmaster Shao nodded as he began leaving the room, but he stopped for a moment, noticing a bookshelf near the door.

“Ah, I see you have been collecting more scriptures as of late, truly wonderful,” he remarked.

“Oh… Yes, I’ve just been desiring to read more in my old age.” Elder Xiao smiled.

“Hmm… I’ve never seen this scripture before…”

Sectmaster Shao began squinting at the titles.

“Dao Homework… It sounds most interesting.”

Esteemed Elder Xiao began to sweat.

“Oh that… Pay it no thought… It truly contains the least bountiful dao within my library sectmaster, truly.”

“Ah, I see. Very well then. Good day to you!”

The sectmaster continued his daily rounds.
