Chapter 303: Chapter 303: The One Who Came to Find the Ancestor

Jiangli and Fu’er were having a casual chat when Xia Xin had already run to the main hall to make an incense offering to the ancestral master.

After entering the main hall, Xia Xin saw the statue of the ancestral master, which had originally been facing away, now properly back in place.

Facing the main entrance with wide-open eyes, just like in the past.

But Xia Xin couldn’t shake the feeling that there was a "killing aura" in the statue’s eyes, fierce and intimidating.

Xia Xin shivered and hurriedly offered up a stick of incense, then quickly scurried away with his tail between his legs.

Fearful that if he stayed even a second longer, he might become the target of the ancestral master’s wrath.

Speaking of coincidences.

He had barely left the main hall when he heard a knock at the door.

Xia Xin looked up, and through the slightly ajar door, it seemed there were figures bustling outside.

He remembered the words of the old ancestor, that today a revered visitor would arrive—

Xia Xin’s eyes lit up, and as he ran toward the door, he shouted, "Coming, coming!"

When he reached the door and pulled it open,

there stood two young men, both not much older than twenty.

"Hello, little master, is this Jiaoyang Temple?" One of the youths asked politely while looking at Xia Xin, "Is the Abbot’s name Jiangli?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Xin took a good look at the two of them.

In fact, at first glance, he felt one of them looked familiar. Thinking of where he had seen him before, he excitedly said, "Is it Young Master Yao?"

"Yes, it’s me!" The first youth to speak replied joyfully, "Aren’t you Xia Xin? The one I communicated with online before, that was you, right?"

"That’s me." Xia Xin promptly opened the door completely and said, "Both of you, the Abbot has been waiting for a long time, let’s talk more inside."

Yao Xuanhang walked in, surprised and flattered, "The Abbot knew we were coming today?"

Cui Wenzhe: "..."

This idiotic statement almost made him roll his eyes at his friend.

They had clearly agreed in yesterday’s call that they would come today.

What’s so surprising about someone else knowing?

Xia Xin said with a beaming smile, "Our Abbot indeed knew you were coming, he just said esteemed guests were arriving soon, please, follow me inside."

Yao Xuanhang nodded excitedly, pulling Cui Wenzhe along as they followed Xia Xin inside.

Yesterday, Jiaoyang Temple, which had been refurbished and equipped with all kinds of smart devices, looked much more exquisite and tidy than in the past.

Moreover, the Taoist temple was quite large and had deep roots, with architecture and materials that clearly had some basis.

It was not a modern imitation of ancient architecture.

It appeared to be a genuine Taoist temple with hundreds of years of history.

Cui Wenzhe followed beside Yao Xuanhang, walking inside while taking in his surroundings, making his judgments.

Based on the heritage of the temple, the likelihood of its people being fraudsters was much reduced.

Cui Wenzhe felt even more at ease.

He and Yao Xuanhang followed Xia Xin into a side hall.

Upon entering, Yao Xuanhang and Cui Wenzhe saw a young girl sitting there, absorbed in drinking tea.

Both were taken aback.

By this time, Xia Xin had already reported to Jiangli, "Ancestor, Young Master Yao and his companion have arrived."

Jiangli looked up, not at all surprised, and pointed to a seat opposite, "Come over and sit."

Xia Xin turned to Yao Xuanhang and Cui Wenzhe and introduced, "Young Master Yao, this is our Jiaoyang Temple’s Abbot, Jiangli."

"...You’re the Abbot, Jiangli?" Yao Xuanhang approached tentatively, seeing Jiangli’s tender face, as delicate as could be, he was still quite shocked.

The video from yesterday wasn’t very clear.

Seeing it in person today, the impact was far more direct.

He had known the Abbot was young, but he hadn’t expected her to be so young.

The words "little sister" were almost on the tip of his tongue, but remembering Jiangli’s abilities, he couldn’t bring himself to say it.
