As she spoke, she even squeezed out a few tears, putting on a pitiful look.
Hu Yi's heart softened. She started to regret not persuading Lin Beichen to let the old woman join the sect back then. But now the initiation ceremony had already begun—recruiting more people would break the rules. Those who had already joined might feel the Daoist Temple was too easy to get into and their attitude would change. After all, without rules, nothing holds together.
"Fine, I'll let you off this time. But if there's a next time, I definitely won't spare you." As soon as Hu Yi finished, the old woman heard footsteps and immediately hid behind the door.
"Girl, you know I sneaked in. You can't let them find me. Not everyone is as kind-hearted as you, otherwise I'd be done for."
Hu Yi helped keep watch for the old woman. After the people left, she let her know and even personally escorted her out.
Hu Yi planned to bury this matter in her heart and tell no one.
