The Amazing Son in Law The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Gideon trailed behind the Young Taoist priest as they made their way to the side hall of the middle courtyard in Evercloud Temple. The hall functioned as the temple’s living room, exclusively used for hosting high-ranking guests such as abbots, supervisors from other Taoist temples and distinguished pilgrims who had made substantial donations to the temple.

According to Taoist internal protocols, Taoist priests were allowed to pay short visits to other temples, but they had to take precautions to authenticate each other’s identities to prevent any deceitful acts of tourists and worshipers.

This person was the current head of Evercloud Temple, known as Renard Stone. Renard was the Taoist name bestowed upon him by his Master when he adopted him as a child. Ever since his early days, his Master had addressed him by this name. After assuming the position of supervisor, he added the word ‘Stone’ to his name.

Gideon looked at him, gently stroking his long beard and asked with a smile, “Renard, do you recognize me?”

Two hot tears welled up in Renard’s eyes and he choked up as he replied, “Master Alastair… is it really you?”

With a slight nod, Gideon affirmed, “It’s really me.”
