Chapter 320: An Agreement with the Ancestor

Chapter 320: Chapter 320: An Agreement with the Ancestor

Not only is it hard to explain, it might scare Yao Xuanhang and Cui Wenzhe.

Xia Xin was also worried about affecting the reputation of Jiaoyang Temple.

After all, saying there’s a ghost inside a Taoist Temple isn’t nice to hear.

Jiangli glanced at Yao Xuanhang and Cui Wenzhe, who were enjoying their meal, and decided not to say anything more.

Just then, Jiangli’s phone rang.

Jiangli put down her chopsticks and picked up the phone to see that it was Fu Shiyan calling.

Her eyebrows lifted slightly, and the next second, she understood why.

Fu Shiyan calling at this time certainly wasn’t for inviting her to a meal.

Jiangli answered, "Hello, President Fu?"

"Sorry to disturb the Abbot," Fu Shiyan’s mellow voice came through the phone.

Jiangli truly felt that she could never get tired of listening to Fu Shiyan’s voice. Smiling cheerfully, she asked, "President Fu, is it about the matter with Shang Junxiao? Is there a result?"

"Indeed, I can’t hide it from the Abbot," laughter tinged Fu Shiyan’s voice. "Duan Jianchuan just called. They’ve apprehended the person and sent them to the police station. Wen Zishu and I are on our way there and wanted to ask if the Abbot would like to join us and take a look?"

Jiangli hadn’t had a chance to respond.

Fu Shiyan added, "The person came up with the method of casting a curse; probably not an ordinary person. The police station might not be able to manage her; thus, we thought of asking the Abbot to come over and take a look if you’re available."

With things put that way.

Jiangli couldn’t refuse, "Alright, I’ll come over shortly."

"No need, we’re on our way and can swing by to pick up the Abbot; we’ll be there shortly," said Fu Shiyan as if he had planned it all along, just waiting for Jiangli to agree.

Jiangli said with an almost laugh, "Okay, then I’ll wait for you to come over."

Only then did Fu Shiyan hang up the call.

Jiangli put down her phone.

Xia Xin immediately asked, "Ancestor, what happened?"

Yao Xuanhang and Cui Wenzhe from across also looked over in curiosity.

Jiangli picked up her chopsticks again, and casually said as she ate, "Nothing much. Just that President Fu will come pick us up later to go to the police station, there are some matters."

Xia Xin’s eyes widened. Going to the police station was nothing much?

It surely must be something with Shang Junxiao to end up at the police station; it couldn’t be anything trivial.

Xia Xin asked nervously, "Shang Junxiao... there hasn’t been an accident, right?"

"It’s not that serious; if it were an accident, President Fu would have said so on the phone," Jiangli scooped up a couple of mouthfuls of rice, "Don’t worry, hurry up and finish your meal, we still need to go to the police station later."

Reassured by this, Xia Xin began eating faster, along with Jiangli.

Seeing their actions, Yao Xuanhang and Cui Wenzhe exchanged a glance.

Cui Wenzhe asked, "Then we..."

Jiangli looked over, "You gentlemen should just stay here at the Taoist Temple. It’s safer here. If you get bored, you can also go out and wander around, but don’t stray too far, then there shouldn’t be any problems."

Cui Wenzhe and Yao Xuanhang nodded.

It was apparent that the call Jiangli received was about another patron, unrelated to them.

Neither of them had thought about tagging along.

This arrangement was just right.

After the meal, Jiangli called over Fu’er, took him back to his room, and had him stay with Lin Yurong, watching over the Taoist Temple and people like Yao Xuanhang, in case anything unexpected occurred.

Fu’er immediately slapped his chest and promised, "Rest assured, Ancestor, with me here, as long as it’s something inside the Taoist Temple, I’ll make sure it doesn’t encounter any problems!"

Jiangli didn’t have time to listen to his boasting. After entrusting the supervision of the Temple to them, she went back to the side hall, took out a few talismans, and kept them on hand for later.

After Xia Xin finished cleaning up the dishes, he went to the main hall and waited with Jiangli for Fu Shiyan to arrive.

Fu Shiyan and Wen Zishu were quick. Barely fifteen minutes after hanging up the phone, they appeared at the entrance of the Taoist Temple.
