Max Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey…?

Chapter 30: Chapter 30: The Ancestor’s Words Are Never Wrong

Jiangli spoke in an indifferent voice, “He committed too many sins; he won’t die a good death. Dying alone without anyone by his side is also retribution.”

“…Not dying a good death is possible, but surely someone will be there for his last moments, right?” Xia Xin felt that Jiangli was mistaken and whispered, “Boss Cao has three children, two sons and a daughter. How could it be possible that no one will be there for his last moments?”

Jiangli’s brow suddenly furrowed. “Three children? Impossible.”

“Why is it impossible?” Xia Xin didn’t understand why Jiangli was so certain.

Jiangli said, “His palms and facial features indicate no children; the area representing offspring is sunken and lacks luster. When you were helping him up, I caught a glimpse of his palm lines—there’s no sign of children. And with a face that indicates dying alone in misery, how could he possibly have any children?”

Xia Xin: “…But he really does have three children; I’ve met them before.”

“How could that be possible?”

Jiangli’s brows knitted together in thought for a moment before saying decisively, “I understand now, those three children must not be his.”

Xia Xin: “…”

This twist was so unexpected it almost threw out his back.

Xia Xin hurriedly shook his head. “No, it’s not like that, ancestor. To speak frankly, even if it’s possible that his wife had an affair and had children with someone else… but… it can’t be that all three children he raised have no relation to him, right?”

Jiangli asserted firmly, “They are definitely not his; I wouldn’t make such a mistake.”

Xia Xin: “…”

Seeing Jiangli like this, he began to doubt himself. Could it really be as the ancestor said?

If that was the case…

Then Boss Cao was quite pitiable.

“If that’s true, then Boss Cao is quite pitiful,” Xia Xin couldn’t help but express his sympathy.

Jiangli said, “What’s there to pity? Didn’t I say, give me eight hundred thousand, and I’ll save his life?”

Xia Xin let out a small sound of surprise, “But ancestor, an unexpected death usually results from an accident, right? Can an accident be prevented too?”

“Of course, just tell him to be cautious, or give him a Talisman,” Jiangli paused, “Oh right, we need to buy some Talisman Paper later.”

Thinking it over, Xia Xin realized they indeed were running low on Talisman Paper at the temple, so he nodded in agreement, “But even if we have a Talisman for him, Boss Cao may not use it, right?”

Jiangli said, “Then you just repeat the warning to him, advise him not to go out these next few days.”

Xia Xin grew more doubtful, “Boss Cao’s leg is broken, how could he possibly go out?”

Jiangli raised an eyebrow, “Is that so?”

Seeing her expression, Xia Xin immediately sank into self-doubt. Struggling for a moment and while the food had not yet arrived, he still took out his phone and sent a message to Boss Cao.

Although Boss Cao might not be a good person, one couldn’t just stand by and watch someone die.

Moreover, their line of work was to remind others to embrace good fortune and avoid disaster; to know and not to warn would be to betray their ancestral teachings.

So Xia Xin still sent a message to Boss Cao.

Watching Xia Xin’s subtle gesture, Jiangli thought to herself that the old Taoist’s skill in selecting disciples really wasn’t that great—Xia Xin truly lacked talent.

But, the old Taoist had a good eye for people.

Xia Xin was indeed a person of utmost kindness, always inclined to think the best of others.

Such a person might either never comprehend the Tao, or upon comprehension, become a great master.

That too was a kind of talent in its own right.

With these thoughts, Jiangli began to view her disciple more favorably.

As the two of them were eating, Boss Cao received Xia Xin’s message.

Having just ended a phone call and reflecting on Jiangli’s words, he was seething with anger. Upon hearing the notification of an incoming message and checking it, he nearly keeled over in frustration.

This Xia Xin, he wanted to kill him!

While Boss Cao was grinding his teeth in rage, his phone rang again.

Assuming it was a call from Xia Xin, he picked it up furiously, only to see it was from his wife.
