Chapter 527: Chapter 527: The Ancestor Thinks of Another Way

After the clear skies and boundless mother abandoned her husband and child, the family never mentioned her again, and they didn’t allow any of her belongings to remain in the house.

The photo was hard-fought to keep.

It was a black-and-white photo that had yellowed and curled at the edges, and the image borders had become somewhat blurred, making the face difficult to discern.

Even Jiangli couldn’t make out any clues from such a blurry photo.

Jiangli said helplessly, "Xia Xin, ask him where he currently lives. If he’s in F City, please have him come over tomorrow morning if he has time. If possible, it would be best to bring his father along."

Xia Xin asked, "Great Ancestor, can’t you see what the matter is either?"

Jiangli replied honestly, "The photo is too blurry; I can’t make anything out."

Xia Xin nodded in agreement, feeling that it was too much to expect to discern anything from the photo from the moment he first saw it.

Xia Xin edited Jiangli’s words and sent them to the person under the clear skies and boundless.

The swift reply came: "I am in F City, currently working here, but my father has moved on and started another family, and he is now in B City. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for him to come over."

Xia Xin relayed this to Jiangli.

Jiangli said, "Then let him come by himself, and remember to bring something related to his mother."

Xia Xin conveyed this truthfully to the person under the clear skies and boundless.

Clear Skies and Boundless: "But all I have is this one photo my mother left behind..."

Jiangli: "..."

Seeing this message, Jiangli too felt at a loss.

With no knowledge of anything, what was to be done?

Searching the soul would be of no use either.

Xia Xin said with difficulty, "Great Ancestor, isn’t this a tough situation?"

"Unless..." Jiangli thought for a moment, "Ask if his mother’s family still has any members. If his maternal grandparents are still alive, see if they know her date and time of birth. If not, we can only try the water bowl divination."

Xia Xin was taken aback, "The water bowl? The Liu Ren water bowl?"

Xia Xin had indeed heard the old Taoist talk about many fortune-telling styles, including flower observation, yin walking, and water bowl divination, which were all derivative methods commonly used among the people.

The water bowl divination was one of the more popular methods.

There were two ways to perform water bowl divination; one involved placing rice in the bowl, also called rice observation.

The other involved using water or aged wine with a stick of Rhinoceros Horn Incense.

This was part of Liu Ren divination.

But Xia Xin had only heard of it, never witnessed it.

"Yes, have him come over, and I will set up a formation for him to find his mother’s remains," Jiangli nodded.

Xia Xin had no doubts about Jiangli’s abilities; if the Great Ancestor said it could be done, then it certainly could be.

He immediately contacted Clear Skies and Boundless.

Clear Skies and Boundless readily agreed, as he was already in F City, it was just like going to Jiaoyang Temple to offer incense.

After arranging for a visit the next morning, Xia Xin handed the phone back to Jiangli, "Great Ancestor, he has agreed to come over at ten in the morning. Will this affect your meeting time with President Fu?"

Jiangli waved his hands dismissively, "No, my appointment with President Fu is in the evening for dinner."

Xia Xin acknowledged with a yes, not wanting to disturb any further and telling Jiangli to rest early, he quietly left the room and closed the door behind him, allowing Jiangli to rest properly.

Jiangli watched the educational science channel for a while longer before turning in for the night.

The following morning came early.

When Xia Xin woke up, he saw that Jiangli was already up and burning incense in the main hall.

Xia Xin dared not speak much and followed Jiangli. After offering incense to the ancestral master, he saw Jiangli sitting cross-legged in the middle of the main hall, performing his morning prayers.

This was the first time Xia Xin had seen Jiangli engage in morning prayers with such seriousness.

Xia Xin carefully followed suit and joined Jiangli in the morning prayers.
