The deacons of the Merit Hall actually didn't have high cultivation levels.
Because they had to deal with various exchange matters and entertain disciples, there were many daily matters. Therefore, cultivators with profound cultivation levels weren't interested in this job.
Those who could come here to manage things were usually cultivators who no longer had high hopes of advancing in the path of cultivation.
The middle-aged cultivator was an example.
Facing ordinary inner sect disciples, he was high and mighty. There was no need for him to show any respect to those people.
However, not only was Xia Mengran a cultivator whose cultivation level far exceeded his, but she also had a bright future. With her connection with Master Yu, she was far from someone a mere deacon could afford to offend. Therefore, the middle-aged man didn't dare to be negligent at all.
