Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 856: Unable to Come

Jiangli frowned impatiently, "She doesn’t want to see it herself, what can I do?"

Xia Xin: "..."

Indeed.

Xia Xin sighed inwardly, understanding Ren Qianxi’s current mood.

Ren Qianxi is completely devastated now, her worldview probably flipped upside down, sunk in deep self-doubt.

Ren Qianxi might still be wondering if she did something wrong for things to turn out this way.

Being afraid to face her relatives is also part of it.

Xia Xin and Lu Qian decided not to say anything further, and followed Jiangli out.

A group of them returned to Jiaoyang Temple.

After entering Jiaoyang Temple, Lu Qian expressed her gratitude to Jiangli and Xia Xin, remembered she still had work to do, added some incense money, and left in a hurry.

Jiangli glanced at the pilgrims in the main hall, it was packed, so he first returned to the side hall.

Xia Xin followed him into the side hall, after all this fuss, it was already nearing noon.

Just as Xia Xin was about to ask Jiangli what he wanted for lunch, his phone suddenly rang.

Xia Xin looked, it was a message from "Doesn’t Want to Take Medicine".

Since Jiangli agreed on a meeting time with "Doesn’t Want to Take Medicine" yesterday, Xia Xin added him on WeChat.

His real name is Yan Guofeng.

Xia Xin saw the message reminder, thinking Yan Guofeng’s family had arrived, he opened the message and frowned.

"Ancestor..." he called out while looking at the phone, "Yan Guofeng’s family can’t come today."

Jiangli was drinking tea, his movement paused, "Yan Guofeng?"

Xia Xin explained, "The ID is ’Doesn’t Want to Take Medicine’, the one who made a reservation with us yesterday."

Jiangli made a sound of realization and remembered, "Didn’t he say he was coming today?"

"Yes, but he just sent a message saying his brother had an episode last night, causing a huge commotion. The family almost couldn’t restrain him, they only managed to send him to the hospital just before dawn, and he’s still there now. They have to wait until his condition improves before heading to F City, likely tomorrow or the day after." Xia Xin read the message to Jiangli.

Jiangli didn’t mind, "From his brother’s birth chart, it’s unlikely he’ll die in the next two or three days. There’s no life-threatening danger, a few days’ delay is fine."

Xia Xin replied with a nod and conveyed Jiangli’s words to Yan Guofeng.

Yan Guofeng sighed in relief and sent a voice message to thank him.

Xia Xin replied saying it’s no problem, told him to go busy himself, then stopped the conversation.

"Ancestor, it’s noon, what should we eat?" Xia Xin asked Jiangli.

Jiangli glanced at him, "You, forget about eating."

Xia Xin was stunned, "Why?"

"The phone." Jiangli pointed at his phone.

Xia Xin hadn’t reacted yet when his phone suddenly rang, startling him. He looked closely, it was a call from Qin Yingjun.

Xia Xin had a bad premonition and answered.

Qin Yingjun was calling to invite him and Jiangli to conduct a ritual.

Wen Mao died young, leaving his white-haired parents to mourn their black-haired child. According to their old customs, Wen Mao’s body couldn’t stay unburied for more than three days, needed to be buried early, and at night.

Wen Mao’s parents, though reluctant, wanted Wen Mao to rest in peace soon, so they chose to bury him tonight.

Qin Yingjun’s aunt, Qin Man, couldn’t bear to part with her son and feared he wouldn’t journey well, hence seeking a master for a ritual.

Qin Yingjun then recommended Jiaoyang Temple.

Qin Man was unaware of previous occurrences, and without much thought agreed, asking Qin Yingjun to contact them.

Hence, Qin Yingjun called Xia Xin.

"Burying tonight?"

Xia Xin was a bit surprised and nervous, he hadn’t had time to prepare.

Qin Yingjun’s voice was full of exhaustion, it seemed he hadn’t rested well all day and night, "No choice, our custom requires night burial, so please help us out, Master Xia Xin."
