Jiangli heard this and was not surprised, "Whether they get a divorce or not, they are your parents, and your relationship with them won’t change. You can rest assured."
Chen Tianxu put on an unconcerned smile, "Abbot, I have actually come to terms with it a long time ago. Just like you said, my dad will always be my dad, and my mom will always be my mom. Their relationship with me won’t change, and I also don’t want my mom to be kept in the dark forever. While she’s still young, she should be able to live for herself."
Jiangli hummed in response, "It’s good that you’ve come to terms with it. Study hard, and your future won’t be dim."
"Yeah!" Chen Tianxu nodded vigorously, "For my parents’ sake, I must also study hard so that I can help my dad in the future and properly compensate my mom."
Jiangli smiled softly.
Seeing her continue to check her phone, Chen Tianxu also took out his homework and studied earnestly.
When Xia Xin came in with the pilgrims, they saw this scene in the room.
They were somewhat bewildered, wondering if they were really in a Taoist temple.
There were only two kids sitting in the room.
One was doing homework, and the other was looking at a phone and eating potato chips—crunch, crunch—the noise was loud. Neither of them looked like the so-called Abbot of Jiaoyang Temple.
The visitors doubted if they had come to the wrong place.
It was then that Xia Xin said in a clear voice, "Abbot, these are today’s pilgrims who have come to ask you to do a free divination."
The visitors saw the little girl eating potato chips turn her head, her bright, shiny eyes staring at them, with a chip poised at her mouth.
Unfazed by the gaze of the crowd, she continued her action naturally and stuffed the potato chip into her mouth, saying, "Okay, come here and tell me."
The visitors were dumbfounded.
Although many had heard that the Jiaoyang Temple Abbot was a young girl, seeing the girl in front of them who lacked the refinement typically associated with a master, they were still a bit skeptical about life.
Since they were already here.
The visitors exchanged glances and still lined up to approach her.
There were quite a few pilgrims today.
Jiangli glanced over and said, "Today, on my first day of receiving pilgrims, I will do a divination for all who come. But starting from tomorrow, only the first three each day will get a free divination. I’m also very busy and don’t have time to do free fortune-telling every day."
The visitors glanced at the potato chips, sunflower seeds, and cola on the table in front of Jiangli...
She was indeed quite busy.
But, it’s free, so it’s hard to complain about getting something for nothing.
Since they were all able to get a free divination today, that was good enough.
The first to sit in front of Jiangli was a little girl who was the first to offer incense. She looked to be about the same age as Chen Tianxu, clean and tidy, seemingly a student as well.
She came to ask about her future prospects.
As Jiangli heard this, while eating, she said, "You’re still young; I won’t divine your future prospects. I’ll give you a piece of free advice instead. You have some good romantic luck coming up, but you’re young; you should focus on studying. This romantic luck isn’t your true fate, it won’t last, so don’t accept it, just concentrate on your studies."
Hearing Jiangli’s lecture on the importance of studying...
Xia Xin’s mouth twitched.
The girl herself also seemed to be caught between laughter and tears, her face turning a shade of embarrassed red as she quickly stood up and left.
The next one was a man, looking to be in his forties, seeking wealth.
Jiangli said, "There’s no windfall in your fate, work hard at your job."
The man immediately looked somewhat disappointed.
One after another, they either sought love or fortune, but most were ordinary people without particularly auspicious fortunes.
Many left Jiangli’s presence somewhat disappointed.
The second to last was a woman dressed in a professional work skirt, seemingly an office worker.
