Chapter 156: Chapter 156: The Esteemed Guest Awaited by the Ancestors

“It’s like this…”

Wang Xinjun, upon hearing this, suddenly remembered that he had something unfinished to do. He wiped his tears, cleared his throat, glanced at the young man beside him, and introduced him to Jiangli, “Abbot, this man helped me rescue my daughter Zixin in H City. He’s our lifesaver. His name is Wang Yao.”

“Hello, I’m Wang Yao. Are you the abbot of Jiaoyang Temple?” Wang Yao extended his hand politely.

But his eyes showed more wariness and scrutiny.

Jiangli, seemingly oblivious, nodded slightly, “Yes, I am.”

He did not touch Wang Yao’s hand.

Wang Yao paused, and his expression immediately became somewhat awkward.

Seeing this, Jiangli realized that this man had extended his hand toward him.

Was there some etiquette involved?

Jiangli, looking puzzled, reached out and tapped the back of his hand, “…like this?”

Wang Yao: “…”

It was as if a flock of crows had flown over the sky.

Wang Xinjun was also stunned.

“That…” Xia Xin came out with a forced laugh to save the situation, “That, I forgot to tell you, our ancestor is quite… trendy, yes, trendy! Isn’t this the popular way to greet nowadays? Handshakes aren’t popular anymore!”

Wang Xinjun laughed in agreement, “Yes, yes, young people nowadays are different from our older generation.”

Although he said so, Wang Xinjun was still very suspicious inside.

He couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Jiangli.

He remembered that this new abbot of Jiaoyang Temple was actually quite traditional and did not understand many modern things.

How… how did he learn so quickly?

“Oh, so that’s it. I didn’t expect the abbot to be so trendy,” Wang Yao laughed heartily, withdrawing his hand, feeling less awkward.

Listening to their conversation, Jiangli realized his action must have been wrong.

But Xia Xin had managed to gloss it over.

Jiangli withdrew his hand and, posing grandly as a master, said, “You didn’t come to see me just for a visit, did you? You want me to help you catch a ghost, right?”

“…catch a ghost?”

Wang Yao’s eyes twitched violently.

Wang Xinjun and Xia Xin were also stunned.

“Ghost, ghost?!” Wang Xinjun stuttered, his pupils bulging as he rapidly looked around.

However, the temporary Heavenly Eye Jiangli had given him had long expired, and he saw nothing.

Not just Wang Xinjun, Xia Xin also saw no ghosts here.

Because he had spent a lot of time with Qiang Hongtao and Shuaishuai in the past few days, Xia Xin’s temporary Heavenly Eye seemed to have lasted much longer.

He had heard from his master before that being in prolonged contact with such filthy things could disrupt the balance of yin and yang, allowing one to see things that were usually invisible.

But he didn’t see the so-called filthy things now.

There shouldn’t be any ghosts here, right?

Moreover, this was a Taoist Temple!

With the ancestor of the temple in charge, how could any dirty entity just come in?

Thinking this, Xia Xin comfortingly patted Wang Xinjun on the shoulder, reassuring him.

“Is it not so?” At this moment, seeing the confusion in Wang Yao’s expression, Jiangli was a bit puzzled.

Wang Yao wasn’t quite sure, so he looked towards Wang Xinjun.

Wang Xinjun shrugged his shoulders, showing a helpless expression.

“It’s not that,” Wang Yao could only say helplessly, “Abbot, I’m not here to ask you to catch ghosts… or perhaps, something might be troubling me, but I can’t explain it clearly, so I wanted to ask for your help.”

His visit to Jiaoyang Temple this time indeed had a motive beyond the simple.

In H City, while he took Wang Xinjun to the hospital to visit Wang Zixin, they chatted casually on the way.

As Wang Xinjun kept mentioning, thanking the abbot, thanking the abbot,

Wang Yao couldn’t help but ask what exactly was going on.
