Chapter 289: Chapter 289: The Ancestor Takes the Fight to Their Door

Xia Xin, accompanied by Daoist Changmin, sat in the back, not daring to breathe heavily. He tried to curl up into a ball to reduce his presence, fearing Jiangli would vent her anger on him.

Fortunately, Jiangli remained seated and silent.

Her eyes were closed, as if she were taking a quick nap.

However...

Xia Xin noticed that she was fiddling with a piece of talisman paper between her fingers, gently twirling it without a clear purpose.

With her eyes closed, Jiangli was silently reciting an invocation.

Soon, a figure appeared before her.

It was Judge Cui.

Judge Cui was but a shadow, unseen by anyone else in the car.

Jiangli opened her eyes and took out a talisman, sticking it to the car’s interior, forming a small barrier around herself.

To outsiders, all that was visible was her taking out a talisman.

The driver was somewhat perplexed.

Xia Xin guessed Jiangli was up to something and, not wanting the driver to think too much, quickly said, "She is the Abbot of Jiaoyang Temple. She likes to carry talisman papers when she goes out, Master, please don’t be alarmed."

The driver thought back to picking them up in front of a Taoist temple and nodded with an understanding look, without a word.

Xia Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking forward,

In the barrier, as soon as Jiangli saw Judge Cui, she spoke up directly, "Old Cui, do me a favor."

Judge Cui bowed and asked, "What does the Abbot want my help with?"

"I need you to check if there are any former Abbots of Qingyun Temple who haven’t reincarnated in Fengdu, specifically someone senior. I have a use for them," Jiangli said bluntly.

Judge Cui could tell she was angry and cautiously asked, "Why does the Abbot want to find them?"

Jiangli snorted coldly, "Their disciples are behaving improperly. I need them to come back and teach their own followers a lesson. Old Cui, just say whether you’ll help me or not!"

Seeing her furious expression, Judge Cui was afraid she might hit him on the spot if he refused.

After all, it wasn’t a big deal...

Judge Cui cleared his throat and said, "Alright, I’ll go ask. I remember there are a few seniors from Xuanmen in Fengdu who haven’t reincarnated yet. They seem reluctant to do so. I’ll find out and bring them here."

Jiangli’s expression eased slightly, "I appreciate it."

Judge Cui waved his hands, not daring to take credit, and vanished instantly from the car to carry out his task.

Jiangli sat expressionless inside the car.

Qingyun Temple was different from Jiaoyang Temple.

Jiaoyang Temple’s location was particularly advantageous; though it was in the old city district, it used to be the city center.

Back then, only Jiangli had the clout to establish a Taoist temple in that place.

Subsequent efforts by others only led to the founding of Taoist temples in the suburbs.

That included Qingyun Temple.

Compared to Jiaoyang Temple, Qingyun Temple’s location was much more remote.

The driver took over an hour to reach the gates of Qingyun Temple.

As Xia Xin was scanning the code to pay the fare, Jiangli was the first to push the door open and get out of the car.

Anxious that Jiangli might act impulsively out of anger, Xia Xin quickly paid the driver and dragged Daoist Changmin out of the car as well.

Jiangli looked around.

Even though it was in the suburbs, F City was a first-tier city, well-developed.

The suburbs were quite lively.

Nearby, there was a commercial street, a large supermarket, and numerous residential complexes.

Xia Xin, following Jiangli and pulling Daoist Changmin along, whispered, "Ancestor, are we sure we want to confront them directly? I’ve heard that Qingyun Temple is highly esteemed here, with many pilgrims. It doesn’t seem right to just barge in like this..."

Jiangli glanced at him, "Doesn’t your face hurt anymore?"

Xia Xin was taken aback, "Ah?" Is she doing this for me?

Before Xia Xin could respond fully, Jiangli had already started towards the gate of Qingyun Temple.

"Ancestor—"

Without time to stop her, Xia Xin hurriedly followed.
