"Just tell outsiders that you are a Taoist invited by the temple to help. Make sure you don’t let any slip of the tongue," Jiangli added.
Fu’er nodded, "Understood."
Jiangli didn’t say anything more and went back to his own meditation room in the backyard.
Xia Xin stayed where he was and began booking the tickets.
Fu’er looked at Xia Xin with a mix of envy and helplessness.
He understood that Jiangli was taking Xia Xin out to mentor him and help him grow.
The Jiaoyang Temple would eventually be handed over to Xia Xin.
Both he and Jiangli would leave.
Considering this, Fu’er sighed silently.
Xia Xin quickly booked two of the nearest flight tickets, with the plane departing at six in the evening.
It was the soonest flight available.
After booking the tickets, Xia Xin went to inform Jiangli, "Ancestor, I’ve booked the tickets. The flight is at six, and it’s already past four now. Shall we head out now? It takes an hour to get to the airport from here, and once there, we’ll still need to grab some food and wait, so it’s just about perfect."
Jiangli was playing with his phone and didn’t seem to mind. He got up from the bed and said, "Whatever."
Hearing this, Xia Xin asked, "Ancestor, have you packed your luggage?"
Jiangli paused, "What luggage?"
He immediately understood.
Jiangli had definitely not prepared anything.
Resigned, Xia Xin said, "Fine, there’s still time. I’ll get ready. Is there anything you need to take with you?"
Jiangli shook his head, "No, just the usual vermilion, copper coins, and paper money. Just bring those."
Xia Xin acknowledged with a "Okay," and then asked, "How long will we need to be away for, should I pack some clothes to change into?"
After thinking for a moment, Jiangli still shook his head, "No need, we should be able to return tomorrow."
Then there really was no need to pack any change of clothes.
With this in mind, Xia Xin went to pack his things.
He gathered some essentials and thoughtfully included a set of sportswear for Jiangli, just in case.
Once ready, Xia Xin, pulling along a small suitcase, came to Jiangli’s door, "Ancestor, I’ve got everything packed. Shall we leave now? The car I called for is almost here."
Jiangli, still with his phone in hand, casually walked out while playing on it.
His eyes never left the screen.
Xia Xin wanted to remind Jiangli that it was unsafe to walk while playing on his phone.
But then he saw that Jiangli, as if he could see everything, managed to step over thresholds and steps without any obstruction and even avoided the small stones in the yard.
Forget it, the Ancestor wasn’t an ordinary person.
He had supernatural abilities.
Xia Xin kept his mouth shut, said nothing more, and as they passed the side hall, greeted Fu’er before leaving with Jiangli.
Fu’er could only stand at the door of the side hall and watch them leave.
Jiangli and Xia Xin waited outside for a while, and the car Xia Xin called for arrived.
They got into the car and hurried toward the airport.
Once at the airport with some time to spare, Xia Xin took Jiangli to the airport restaurant to eat something.
Jiangli couldn’t help but complain after tasting the food, "What is this? It doesn’t taste good at all."
Helplessly, Xia Xin said, "Airport food indeed doesn’t taste that good, but we’re short on time, Ancestor. Please make do."
Jiangli grimaced, "It’s nowhere near as good as what Fu Shiyan treated us to."
Xia Xin gave a wry smile; how could airport food compare to the lavish meals Fu Shiyan treated them to?
The difference was like night and day, not even close.
Xia Xin could only ask Jiangli to make do.
Although Jiangli was not pleased, he still managed to eat up.
