Although Lena Ling was completely unwilling, her succession as sect master of the Jade Maiden Sect was a decision made by the entire leadership, leaving her no room to object. So, she could only grit her teeth and accept.
The ceremony was scheduled for ten days later.
In other words, in ten days, she would become the new sect master of the Jade Maiden Sect, responsible for everything big and small within the sect.
Just thinking about this made her scalp tingle. She even considered running away from the Jade Maiden Sect and leaving everything behind. Unfortunately, her master Lana Snow, who knew her best, had already anticipated this and sent two Cloud-generation Golden Core elders to follow her.
"Ugh, those carefree days are gone forever. I don't want to be sect master!" Lena wailed inwardly.
"Congratulations, Senior Sister!"
Not far from the sect master's courtyard, Lena ran into Lacey Ling again. Clearly, Lacey had already heard the news that Lena was about to become sect master.
Lena replied weakly, then strode away.
After that, she kept running into junior sisters, each one smiling and congratulating her.
It was obviously a really depressing situation, but she still had to accept everyone’s congratulations, which just made her feel even worse.
