(MC POV)
The day of the Festival arrived and everyone in the Sect was obviously looking forward to it.
The people from the former Phoenix Sect had already arrived last week considering they were technically Heaven Sect members too, so they were here to help set up earlier in the week. But today would be the day where the other Sects started to show up.
Thus, almost everyone was gathered at the Grand Courtyard awaiting the arrival of our first guests.
Sect Master Qing had gone to the entrance to welcome the visitors alongside a few other Masters and Elders, but the weirdest thing was that I wasn't expected to join them there for some reason?
When I asked, Sect Master Qing merely said that having me at the very entrance would cause congestion there and slow down people from entering the Sect.
Not sure why that would be the case but I decided not to argue and simply waited in the Grand Courtyard alongside my disciples and the rest of the Sect.
