Chapter 700: Chapter 700: Waiting for Their Third Visit to the Thatched Cottage

Jiangli gave Qing Yue a slight smile and said, "Now that we are in the city center, it’s easy to find a taxi. Xia Xin and I won’t keep you from your work. Goodbye."

With a wave of her hand, Jiangli left, leaving a confused Qing Yue behind.

Xia Xin glanced at Qing Yue, his expression somewhat complex. Seeing the bewildered look on Qing Yue’s face, he found it somewhat amusing. After a cough, he hurried off after Jiangli.

Qing Yue stood in place. After a few seconds, he finally caught on.

"Did that girl just play me?"

Qing Yue chuckled softly.

No wonder Jiangli was willing to bring him along. She must have anticipated today’s events would occur and set him up.

Qing Yue watched the retreating figures of Jiangli and Xia Xin, licking his right canine tooth. Indeed, she was a quite amusing young lady.

Truly impressive.

Qing Yue’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked back in the direction of the Liang Family. With a tug at the corner of his mouth, he opened the car door and got in.

...

Jiangli and Xia Xin quickly hailed a cab at the entrance of the community and took it directly back to the Fu Family’s old house.

Holding his phone, Xia Xin suddenly remembered something. "Right, Ancestor, if we are not going to the Yang Family, shouldn’t we send Yang Master’s address to Qing Yue?"

Jiangli replied, "No need. You think that old fox didn’t memorize it?"

Hearing Jiangli repeatedly calling him an old fox, Xia Xin paused, glancing at the driver in front. He asked in a lowered voice, "Ancestor, is he, is he really a fox spirit?"

Jiangli, with her arms folded and leaning back in her seat, her eyes closed, replied, "Otherwise, do you think I would deceive you?"

Xia Xin was dumbfounded. In this day and age, there were still creatures that had become spirits!

Quite something!

However, after giving it some thought, Qing Yue’s face was indeed excessively beautiful, even more so than Wei Qingran, the entertainment industry’s recognized great beauty.

Especially those eyes and expressions—he really did seem like a bewitching fox spirit.

Considering this, Xia Xin couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement.

But then, why did Jiangli previously instruct him to memorize Yang Master’s address and now not bother with it?

Xia Xin still didn’t understand. "Ancestor, then why did I have to memorize the address?"

Jiangli calmly stated, "It’s just for appearances, to show the Wei Family. We can’t get involved in that matter. If we do, the Xuanmen Association will come knocking again."

Xia Xin could tell that Jiangli seemed to have a strong aversion to the Xuanmen Association. "Ancestor, the Xuanmen Association certifies the various Xuanmen houses. Jiaoyang Temple was expelled from it before, wouldn’t it be a good thing to return?"

Jiangli scoffed, "If we are to return, they should come groveling, admit their mistakes, and plead for us to come back."

Xia Xin: "..."

He hadn’t expected the Ancestor to hold such a grudge.

Seeing that she knew what she was doing, Xia Xin said no more.

Jiangli and Xia Xin quickly returned to the Fu Family’s old house.

Fu Shiyan was still in the old house. It seemed he hadn’t stepped out at all, as if he had been waiting for Jiangli to return.

Upon seeing Jiangli return, he walked over from the corridor, "Back already?"

Jiangli came over, giggling with affirmation.

Fu Shiyan asked softly, "Tired? Did everything go smoothly?"

Jiangli nodded, "Quite smoothly."

Duan Jianchuan, following behind Fu Shiyan, glanced behind Xia Xin and asked, "Abbot, didn’t Qing Yue go out with you? Where is he now?"

"He has a mission with the Unusual Affairs Management Office. He went to work on that," Jiangli said without blinking an eye.

Duan Jianchuan didn’t suspect anything. He knew that the people from Unusual Affairs Management were always busy and could be called on missions anytime, so he thought no more of it.

Fu Shiyan didn’t care about Qing Yue at all, only about Jiangli. "It’s noon, are you hungry? I had some delicious food prepared."

An excited Jiangli replied, "Yes, let’s go quickly!"
