Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 125 - : The Ancestor Neglects His Duties

Chapter 125: Chapter 125: The Ancestor Neglects His Duties

Jiangli scoffed and watched the video with an unchanged expression.

Xia Xin quietly listened at the door for a while, with the sound of the mobile phone continuously ringing; he breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, the ancestor wasn’t too difficult to get along with.

Not that scary either.

He chuckled and happily returned to his room to rest.

However…

The next day, Xia Xin regretted it.

The next morning, as soon as he got up, Xia Xin saw Jiangli’s door open and looked inside, only to find no one there.

“Where has she gone this early in the morning?”

Xia Xin grumbled, yawning as he headed to the front courtyard.

As he reached the portal connecting the front and back yards, he heard a familiar voice.

“This look isn’t bad, barely passable as attractive…”

“Eh, this one doesn’t work, way too ugly!”

“Why would you show off all that flab? It’s so unappealing!”

“This one’s no good either…”

“Seems like there aren’t many good-looking ones even in the modern era.”

Xia Xin: “…”

He peered over suspiciously and saw Jiangli seated on a small stool at the entrance of the main hall, scrolling through videos on her phone.

He craned his neck to see.

On the phone screen were definitely not any educational videos.

Instead…

Videos of handsome men and beautiful women showing off their looks!

Ancestor, so irresponsible!

“You’ve been watching for so long; aren’t you coming out?”

As Xia Xin was about to rush over, Jiangli’s voice sounded offhandedly.

He immediately tucked in his nonexistent tail and walked over with a sheepish look, “Um, ancestor… You got up so early?”

Jiangli’s eyes never left the phone screen.

“Getting up so early, do you even need to ask? Didn’t the Taoist tell you about the morning rituals? You must get up at five in the morning for them, but it’s already half-past seven. Xia Xin, don’t you have any sense of duty?”

Xia Xin, turned preemptively defensive: “…”

Unable to help himself, Xia Xin pointed at the video, “Ancestor criticizes me while you, having got up so early, also didn’t do the morning rituals, but instead, you’re here scrolling through videos!”

Jiangli raised an eyebrow, “Wasn’t it you who told me to scroll through videos?”

Xia Xin’s face turned alternately red and white, “Ancestor, I told you to watch educational science videos, not these!”

“I have watched those videos already, and these videos popped up on their own when I scrolled down,” Jiangli said, while scrolling with a look of disdain, “But these people are not attractive at all, look at this one, covered in flab, do you really think that’s good-looking?”

Looking at the muscular man on her screen, who happened to be the type Xia Xin admired, he clenched his teeth and said, “Ancestor, that’s called being strong and robust!”

Jiangli uttered a meaningful “Hmm,” “He sure is strong and robust, stout and bulky, with a broad back and a round waist. Did the Taoist teach you how to judge a person’s physique? And you find this attractive?”

Xia Xin: “…”

To judge someone’s appearance, there were many aspects: facial features, palm reading, voice, physique, behavior—each could reveal certain insights.

But he hadn’t even mastered the basics of facial reading, let alone the others.

Defeated, Xia Xin huffed in annoyance, “Then why are you watching them…”

“I’m just watching to see how ugly they can get,” Jiangli clicked her tongue and disdainfully scrolled to the next video.

It wasn’t a handsome man, but a beautiful woman.

But the beauty filter was overdone.

Jiangli with a face full of distaste: “Is this supposed to be human facial features? Xia Xin, I remember you once told me that after the founding of the country, spirits were not allowed to take form. Isn’t this woman clearly transformed from a snake spirit?”

Xia Xin: “…”

Great, just great.

He hadn’t realized that the ancestor also had a talent for sharp-tongued comments.

Xia Xin silently crouched down and explained, “She has just overused the beauty filter, ancestor, you might not know this, but now, people’s photos and videos… they can be faked…”
