Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 316: The Help of the Ancestor

Xia Xin felt quite sympathetic for Jiao Yingyun and her daughter, suddenly recalling the old ancestor’s mention of having to choose between two paths the day before.

He looked towards Jiao Yingyun, hesitant to speak, wanting to ask her if she had seen the message he sent earlier.

But he couldn’t bring himself to ask and could only invite Jiao Yingyun to the side hall first, "Our Abbot is currently in the side hall, let me take you there."

Jiao Yingyun expressed her thanks and followed behind Xia Xin into the side hall.

As soon as they entered, Jiangli looked over, showing no surprise at the sight of Jiao Yingyun; she must have calculated that Jiao Yingyun would come.

Seeing Jiangli’s reaction, Xia Xin was no longer surprised either and led Jiao Yingyun over, making introductions, "Abbot, this is the lady who won one of the free fortune-telling slots online yesterday, her ID is Black Wind, and she’s here to express her gratitude today."

"Ms. Jiao, this is our Abbot, Jiangli." Xia Xin introduced her once more to Jiao Yingyun.

Upon seeing Jiangli for the first time, Jiao Yingyun was quite astonished.

But she quickly regained her composure.

She bowed slightly to Jiangli and said, "Thank you, Abbot, for saving my life. If it wasn’t for you, my daughter’s chances of survival would have been slim."

Jiangli heard this and asked, "How is your daughter now?"

"She’s doing well, recuperating in the hospital. I came over only after making sure she was settled," Jiao Yingyun replied with a proper smile, though it couldn’t hide the fatigue and haggardness in her eyes.

Jiangli knowingly asked, "Your job?"

Jiao Yingyun’s expression faltered, and she let out a wry smile, "It’s fate, I had a big project last night; I should have stayed to work overtime, but I was in a rush to get home and forget to notify my boss. This morning, I was informed that I should process my resignation."

With that, she forced a light-hearted smile.

"However, I’ll still get a few months of salary compensation, which should help me with the most pressing issues."

Jiangli fell silent for a moment, looking at Jiao Yingyun’s smiling face, and then asked, "Xia Xin must have told you everything that happened yesterday. In fact, if you hadn’t gone back, maybe you would have everything in the future, you must have seen it all."

Xia Xin heard this and started to frantically wave his hands, trying to stop Jiangli.

But Jiangli still bluntly asked.

Xia Xin felt a headache, thinking to himself that the ancestor couldn’t be so direct with such questions!

He looked nervously at Jiao Yingyun.

Hearing these words, Jiao Yingyun froze.

After a moment, she lowered her eyes and said, "Indeed, I saw it all, but compared to my daughter, none of it matters."

Jiangli seriously asked, "Why? Looking at the results, the other path is clearly better."

Jiao Yingyun gave a faint smile, "That may be so, but Abbot, didn’t you also say it? Those things are in the future, and who can predict the future accurately? Rather than betting on an uncertain future, I care more about my daughter. Right now, my daughter is my everything. I cannot stake a real person on an illusory future."

Jiangli paused and nodded thoughtfully.

Xia Xin agreed, "Yes, the life at hand is the most important; it’s best that the child is unharmed."

Jiao Yingyun smiled and nodded, "Exactly, all I want is for my child to grow up safe and healthy; no matter how tough the days are, as long as my daughter and I are together, things will get better."

Xia Xin felt admiration.

The present was bleak, the future bright.

Based on human nature, many would opt for what they consider the better choice.

Xia Xin respected Jiao Yingyun’s decision but also worried about their future.

"About that." Just then, Jiangli took out a piece of paper and handed it to Jiao Yingyun, "The head of Fu Group, Mr. Fu, owes me a favor. I asked him yesterday to reserve a job for you."
