Chapter 644: Chapter 644: The Ancestor Arrives in City B

Xun Tianhai heard that Zhu Ming hadn’t spoken for a while, so he said, "Take your time to think about it. If you’re willing, I’ll go and let the Abbot know. The Abbot doesn’t have much time to wait for your decision, so make it quickly. To be frank, this situation is your own fault. The Abbot had warned you before, but you didn’t listen. Now, to save your life, 1.6 million isn’t that much. Isn’t paying 1.6 million for your life a good deal?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ming’s face twitched.

But he knew that it was indeed his own fault.

He had not expected Jiangli’s warning to be true.

He had thought that Jiangli was just cursing him on purpose.

He had intended to expose Jiangli’s pretense and make him reveal his true nature.

He never imagined that he would actually be gambling with his own life.

Feeling the pain from his wounds growing more intense, Zhu Ming could even sense the approach of the grim reaper.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, as long as she’s willing to come and willing to save my life, 1.6 million it is. I can afford that amount."

Xun Tianhai, hearing his swift agreement, finally let out a sigh of relief and rarely praised him, "You’re not so stubborn this time, I tell you, money is expendable, but life is the most important. I’ll go inform the Abbot right now. If she comes over by plane tonight, it should take about two hours to reach B city."

Zhu Ming responded with a grunt, two hours was something he could wait.

He was confident that he could hold on for two more hours.

Xun Tianhai did not waste any words, immediately hung up the phone, and then contacted Jiangli.

Xia Xin had just finished packing when Xun Tianhai’s call came through.

Xia Xin heard the ringtone, took out his phone and saw it was from Xun Tianhai, and promptly handed it to Jiangli: "Ancestor, it’s a call from Director Xun."

Jiangli took it and answered, "Director Xun?"

Xun Tianhai got straight to the point, "Abbot, I’ve spoken to Zhu Ming. He says money is no issue, as long as the Abbot is willing to help him, to save his life."

Jiangli replied with a faint smile, "At least he knows what’s most urgent and isn’t so confused."

Xun Tianhai responded apologetically, "Then, Abbot, would you be able to come over immediately? Even if you can fly directly from your location to B city, it’s still going to take two hours. I selfishly hope you can come earlier, to avoid any complications that Zhu Ming can’t hold out against."

Jiangli glanced at the time.

It was already past four in the afternoon.

Jiangli said, "Okay, I’ll have Xia Xin book the tickets."

Upon hearing this, Xun Tianhai finally relaxed, thanked Jiangli on behalf of Zhu Ming, and then hung up the call.

Jiangli handed the phone to Xia Xin, while saying, "Book two tickets to B city. We need to make a trip there overnight."

Xia Xin took the phone, "We’re going today, overnight?"

Jiangli said with a hum, stretched lazily, and stood up, "Considering the 1.6 million, we have no choice but to go."

Xia Xin: "..."

Indeed.

Money talks.

Xia Xin cleared his throat and said, "Alright, then I’ll book the plane tickets right away."

Jiangli waved his hand, delegating the task to Xia Xin.

Fu’er, hearing this, hastily pointed to his own nose, "And what about me?"

Jiangli replied, "You, of course, will stay at home and stand guard. Otherwise, why do you think I gave you a shell?"

Facing Jiangli’s forthrightness, Fu’er said sullenly, "Alright then..."

"Xia Xin needs to accompany me to learn outside. You stay in the temple to look after the house and receive the Pilgrims. If anyone comes seeking help and you can solve the issue, do so. If not, wait for my return," Jiangli instructed.

Fu’er agreed reluctantly, "Ancestor, I understand."
