Chapter 146: Chapter 146: The Ancestor’s Question
Upon seeing this, Fu Shiyan said nothing.
Duan Jianchuan and Wen Zishu gathered around him.
Duan Jianchuan whispered, “Third Brother, do you know something?”
“Third Brother, you definitely know who made the move in secret, right?” Wen Zishu asked urgently.
Just now, the look on Fu Shiyan’s face obviously suggested that he knew something.
But Fu Shiyan remained silent.
“Right, Mr. Fu, you guys go ahead and talk, I’ll take a walk elsewhere.”
At that moment, Jiangli suddenly spoke up, “Maybe there’s something else in other places.”
Having said that, she walked away directly.
Duan Jianchuan could see that Jiangli was making space for them.
Most likely, she thought that Fu Shiyan did not want to speak in her presence.
But Duan Jianchuan felt that Fu Shiyan’s silence was not because Jiangli was there.
“Third Brother, what exactly are you thinking?” Wen Zishu couldn’t help asking Jiangli, somewhat anxiously.
“Nothing,” Fu Shiyan said, his expression unchanging as if the matter had nothing to do with him, completely composed.
Wen Zishu, anxious and pacing, said, “No, Third Brother, you must know something, who is responsible? Whoever dares to make such a vicious move, tell me, Third Brother, and I’ll settle it for you!”
Fu Shiyan spoke lightly, “There is no need to bother with this matter.”
Duan Jianchuan furrowed his brows deeply, “Third Brother.”
Fu Shiyan glanced at him, “There’s no need to bother.”
Wen Zishu stamped his foot in frustration, “Why won’t you let us handle it, Third Brother, what is actually going on?”
“I said there’s no need to bother, so stop asking.”
Duan Jianchuan shook his head at Wen Zishu.
Wen Zishu’s brows were tightly furrowed, he felt a pressing urgency but did not understand why.
However, Fu Shiyan did not speak again, as if he knew nothing at all.
Wen Zishu was dying of impatience, his mouth opening and closing several times, wanting to keep questioning.
Duan Jianchuan discreetly grabbed his arm and shook his head at him.
Wen Zishu, scratching his ears and cheeks, looked at Fu Shiyan, then leaned over to Duan Jianchuan and whispered, “What exactly do you mean by this?”
“It’s nothing,” Duan Jianchuan replied quietly, “If Third Brother says there’s no need to bother, then we shouldn’t. He certainly has a way to handle it.”
Wen Zishu was an impatient person, “Do you all know something and are using some secret signals? Why can’t you just tell me directly?”
Duan Jianchuan was speechless with a choked feeling, “I don’t know, but there must be a reason if Third Brother says so. Just listen to him, there’s no mistake in that.”
Wen Zishu was so frustrated that he was lost for words.
But Duan Jianchuan was right, Fu Shiyan had always been more principled than them since they were kids. They couldn’t really manage Fu Shiyan and never quite knew what Third Brother was thinking.
What else could they do now, other than listen to Third Brother?
Jiangli walked around outside and came back after about ten minutes.
Fu Shiyan asked with an unchanged expression, “Abbot, have you found anything?”
Behind there is a path that’s not quite a path, where the grass has been trampled flat. Someone must have come up from there, but that’s all,” Jiangli said. “Once we settle what’s here, there’s no need to worry anymore.”
Fu Shiyan nodded, “Thank you, Abbot, for your trouble.”
Jiangli just smiled without saying anything.
The group waited in the mountains for two hours before Xia Xin came back.
Cradling a large rooster in his arms, and panting heavily, he said, “Old, old ancestor, I’ve bought what you asked for!”
Jiangli glanced at the lively rooster in his arms and smiled slightly, “Did I ask for a rooster?”
“That…” Xia Xin chuckled awkwardly: “The market didn’t sell rooster blood directly, so, I could only buy the whole chicken…”
It seemed that not everything was usable in the modern world.
Jiangli pursed her lips and took the rooster, “Alright then, let’s make do with this.”
