Taking a Leave to Duel: Without Me, Mount Longhu Will Lose!

"My disciple, when are you finally coming back to the mountain for a duel? Three years ago, you went down the mountain to practice in the mortal world, and because of that, our Mount Longhu lost a superior cultivation technique, three spirit-grade magical artifacts, and over a hundred golden talisman slips to Wudang."

"What have you been doing all this time? You don't reply to messages or answer calls."

"I'm telling you, Mount Emei has produced a talented young nun these past two years. She's not only beautiful, but her Daoist arts are profound too. Your second and third martial uncles both lost to her in duels."

"If you don't come back this year, Mount Longhu will lose its title as the ancestral home of Daoism."

Zhang Hao, working undercover at a company, sees the message from his sect leader and reluctantly writes out a leave request.

Dear Manager,

Our Daoist sect is holding a grand magical duel tournament. I need six months off to return to the mountain and compete. Without me, Mount Longhu will lose.
