"Excuse me, are you the Abbot?"
Just as Jiangli and Xia Xin got out of the car, a 16 or 17-year-old girl approached, clutching her phone and shyly coming over to ask.
Xia Xin nodded, "Yes, I am Xia Xin, and this is our Abbot. You must be Cat Sister, right?"
Cat Sister quickly nodded, "That’s right, that’s right!" She looked at Jiangli beside her, paused for a second, and then hurriedly said, "Abbot, you’re so young, you don’t seem to be much older than me, so impressive!"
Seeing the young Jiangli, Cat Sister just thought Jiangli was so capable, such talent at such a young age.
Not like her, still obsessed with shipping CP every day.
Jiangli slightly bowed his head and said, "Just call me Jiangli."
"No, no, no, I’d better call you Abbot," Cat Sister waved her hands repeatedly, not daring to be presumptuous, and said nervously, "I, my name is Qi Mingyue, my nickname is Yuanyuan because I was born on a full moon day, that’s why I have this name..."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xin couldn’t help but chuckle, "Sister, what are you talking about?"
Realizing she was overly nervous and had blurted out a bunch of irrelevant things, Cat Sister’s face turned bright red, "Sorry, I’m just too nervous, I apologize..."
"It’s fine, it’s fine, we won’t mind that," Xia Xin explained, "We were saying, you called us here because you needed something, right? Let’s get down to business first?"
Cat Sister remembered what she needed to do, "Yes, yes, yes! My parents are waiting inside, let me take you to them."
Jiangli responded with a simple "OK."
Cat Sister clutched her phone, so nervous she could barely breathe, and led them inside.
There was a small village nearby.
It’s a little village on the outskirts of F City.
Cat Sister’s family used to live here, but then they moved to the city.
Not many families still lived here now.
Going around a village road and turning ahead, there was the grave of Cat Sister’s great-grandfather.
As they got closer, Jiangli and Xia Xin could see quite a few people waiting there.
"Mom and Dad!" Cat Sister waved to them from a distance.
Hearing the voice, Cat Sister’s family turned around.
Her parents, upon catching sight, came over and politely asked, "Are you two the masters from Jiaoyang Temple?"
Xia Xin nodded, "Yes."
Cat Sister’s mother glanced at the two youngsters and couldn’t help but look behind them.
Seeing no one behind them, Cat Sister’s mother couldn’t help but ask, "Why have only two young masters come? Didn’t your master come, where is the Abbot?"
Upon hearing this, Cat Sister tugged at her mother’s sleeve and said uncomfortably, "Mom, this is the Abbot."
She glanced at Jiangli.
Cat Sister’s mother was somewhat astonished to hear this.
Expecting a grandmaster, they had imagined an old man with a goat beard and some age.
They never expected it to be such a young, good-looking girl.
"Appearances can be deceiving, and capable people don’t come with an age tag," Cat Sister’s father intervened quickly to smooth things over, "My wife didn’t mean to offend, Abbot, please don’t mind her words."
Jiangli didn’t mind, "It’s fine, I’ll go take a look at the coffin first."
Seeing her get straight to the point, Cat Sister’s parents didn’t say anything more and gestured for them to follow. They accompanied Jiangli and Xia Xin to the front of the coffin.
Upon arrival, Xia Xin saw that it was just as Cat Sister had described over the phone.
The coffin hadn’t been damaged in the slightest, despite the time that had passed.
Jiangli walked over to the coffin but first took a look around and suddenly asked, "Was this place specially chosen before?"
Cat Sister’s father, Qi Guowen, answered, "Yes, when my grandfather was still alive, he was a well-known Feng Shui master around here. This is the auspicious Feng Shui site he found for himself before he passed away, claiming it would bless our entire family."
