Chapter 768: Chapter 768: A New High

Xia Xin followed behind Jiangli to the hospital and glanced over, "That old ancestor, should we not tell the Fan Family about the donation we made?"

Jiangli was nonchalant, "What’s there to say? Let’s hurry back, I’m hungry."

Xia Xin: "..."

It seemed like on the road, the one who had eaten a ton of barbecued meat, fried chicken, and milk tea wasn’t the old ancestor himself.

Xia Xin looked deeply at Jiangli, surprisingly cheerful, and without bringing up the donation again, he took Jiangli back to Jiaoyang Temple.

Today, he was going to prepare a big feast for the old ancestor!

...

When Jiangli and Xia Xin returned to Jiaoyang Temple, it was already past two in the afternoon.

But when the two of them entered the Taoist Temple, they found that there were still quite a few pilgrims coming and going.

Jiaoyang Temple, for a time, had an overcrowded feeling.

There were also many people wandering around the courtyard, with cellphones in their hands, snapping photos here and there, and it appeared some were even recording videos.

Jiangli raised an eyebrow and, taking advantage of the crowd, unnoticed by others, she and Xia Xin entered the side hall first.

Upon stepping into the side hall, Jiangli looked out into the courtyard and, seeing so many people, she couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, "Why are there so many people today?"

Xia Xin was also clueless, "I don’t know, old ancestor, you go sit inside for a bit, I’ll go check it out."

Jiangli nodded and then stepped inside, going off to drink tea on her own.

Xia Xin stepped out, closed the door behind him, and headed for the main hall first.

Fu’er was busy receiving pilgrims, seemingly overwhelmed, with many pilgrims surrounding him, asking for their fortunes to be told through drawing lots.

This was a common enterprise conducted by temples and Taoist Temples.

Xia Xin had also learned a bit of the skill in interpreting these fortunes from an old Taoist.

However, back then, there weren’t many pilgrims coming and going to their temple, so he never really had the chance to put this skill to use.

Fu’er was different; he would interpret fortunes until his hands went soft.

In fact, he had been busy since the morning without a break.

Catching sight of Xia Xin entering, Fu’er swiftly looked over, his expression like someone who had seen a lifesaver, "Xia Xin, Xia Xin, over here!"

Xia Xin, who was looking for him, dodged past the pilgrims and approached.

Fu’er had just finished interpreting a fortune when the pilgrim left.

Xia Xin nudged Fu’er’s arm and asked, "What’s all this, why are there so many people today?"

"What else could it be? I should be asking you guys," said Fu’er. "Xia Xin, you and the old ancestor, did you guys become too popular online? They all said they found us through the internet, and they mentioned that other Taoist Temples are advertising for our Jiaoyang Temple. What’s going on?"

Fu’er shook his somewhat sore and swollen arm, feeling like the paper-mâché appendage just wasn’t that great.

Upon hearing this, Xia Xin muttered in confusion, "Really?"

He quickly took out his cellphone to check online, and indeed, the posts about the old ancestor’s fortune-telling had already gone viral on the Xuanmen Forum Association.

But...

The level of attention today had oddly jumped to a new peak.

Not only that, but as Fu’er had said, many people from the Xuanmen community were recommending Jiaoyang Temple and Jiangli on their personal fora or official associations.

Xia Xin’s brows were knotted in confusion, filled with suspicion.

This shouldn’t be... Why on earth were these Xuanmen families bursting with enthusiasm, advertising for them every day?

Xia Xin had an intuition that something was wrong and quickly searched online.

As expected.

The few personal fora and official associations running the ads, in private, all had good relations with Zhu Ming and had appeared in the posts where Zhu Ming praised Jiangli.

Xia Xin finally understood.

My goodness...

Zhu Ming really was capable!

To curry favor with the old ancestor, he even resorted to these tactics!

Impressive!
