Lin Xiaohua noticed the expression on Tao Qian's face and knew that the latter had guessed the purpose of his visit.
He didn't hesitate any longer, smiled calmly, and then said,
"I, Lin Xiaohua, sincerely admire the Daoist path. Since joining the Heavenly Talisman Sect, I have diligently practiced day and night, daring not to slacken. However, there are indeed some stubborn ailments I cannot amend."
"Firstly, I have always considered myself a man who is eager to do good deeds, yet I am often misunderstood by others."
"Secondly, I have a penchant for associating with ghosts and spirits. When I first joined the sect, this little problem was accidentally discovered by my fellow disciples and was spread around, ruining my reputation. Except for my master, no one interacts with me, even the gentle and kind female disciples avoid me and refrain from conversing with me, resulting in very few friends."
