Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Cao Jiadong Visits the Ancestral Patriarch
Xia Xin thought of the scene in the game just now and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Ancestor, how did you know the enemy jungler was coming to my side just now? On the mini map, it seemed like he was headed down the bottom lane.”
Jiangli looked up at him, “He was carrying blue, and their blue buff hadn’t respawned, plus the enemy marksman was under their tower, so he probably wouldn’t go there, right? Then he went into the bush and disappeared, so I was wondering if he might be heading your way.”
Xia Xin gave a thumbs up, “Ancestor, you’re truly amazing!”
“Actually, this game is quite simple, just like a duel between two armies. The opponent’s jungler is like the general, and once you figure out his thoughts, it’s easy to play!” Jiangli said with authority, “I’ve read military strategy books before.”
Xia Xin was caught between laughter and tears.
Isn’t it a bit like overkill to apply military strategy to this?
Xia Xin found it funny when a glance at his phone’s time made him jump out of bed, “Damn, damn, it’s already past three? Ancestor, we should rest! Don’t we still have things to do tomorrow?”
Upon hearing this, Jiangli noticed the time as well, “Is it already this late.”
“Yeah, Ancestor, you said you were tired quite a while ago. Hurry and rest, we can continue another time!” Xia Xin was also struggling to stay awake.
But Jiangli’s spirits were still high.
However, thinking of the matters they had to attend to the next day, she nodded, and was about to agree when her expression suddenly changed.
The next second, she smiled, “Looks like we can’t go to sleep just now.”
Xia Xin was bewildered, “What’s wrong?”
“We have visitors,” Jiangli said.
Xia Xin’s eyes widened, “At this hour, who could possibly be visiting?”
However, before he could voice his doubts, there came a knocking at the door from outside.
Peering outside, Xia Xin turned to Jiangli with a look of alarm.
“It… it seems like someone is knocking at the door…”
“Then go open the door,” Jiangli said as she stood up, “It’s probably someone from the Cao Family.”
Xia Xin frowned, wondering what the Cao Family could want at this late hour.
As he mused to himself, the continual knocking forced him to go answer it.
Upon opening the courtyard door, indeed, it was someone from the Cao Family standing outside.
Xia Xin, surprised at the sight of the pale-faced and anxious Cao Jiadong, asked, “Mr. Cao, what brings you here so late?”
Cao Jiadong’s face looked terrible, as if he’d been dealt a heavy blow. Hearing Xia Xin’s question, he looked like he was about to cry and stammered, “I, I would like to see the master, is now a bad time?”
“No, not really, we haven’t rested yet. The Ancestor just mentioned that we might have visitors,” Xia Xin thought, impressed that the Ancestor had been right again. He opened the door wider and gestured, “Mr. Cao, please come in first.”
Cao Jiadong nodded hastily and followed Xia Xin into Jiaoyang Temple.
By the time they arrived at the meditation room, Jiangli had changed into a sporty outfit, looking very youthful and fresh.
Seeing her , Cao Jiadong realized the master was truly young, seeming even younger than Xia Xin.
But with his mind in turmoil, he could not afford to think more about it, “Master, sorry for the disturbance…”
“It’s fine.” Jiangli shook her head slightly and looked at his reddened eyes, “So, did you find any clues about the Qin Family’s issue?”
At this point, Xia Xin remembered what Jiangli had previously told Cao Jiadong.
Seeing Cao Jiadong’s state, it seemed like the Ancestor had been right again.
