Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 66 - : The Ancestor Wants an Automatic Door
Chapter 66: Chapter 66: The Ancestor Wants an Automatic Door
While Mr. Cao was getting in touch with Bi Yamin, Xia Xin followed behind Jiangli, heading back to Jiaoyang Temple. After closing the door, Xia Xin couldn’t help but complain.
“Ancestor, Mr. Cao just said he would return the deed of Jiaoyang Temple to us, why didn’t you take it!”
He truly couldn’t understand.
“Haven’t I told you already?” Jiangli said languidly, “Didn’t the old Taoist teach you? Everything has its own code, you earn what you work for, and once you’ve taken the fee, you can’t ask for anything extra. If you take it, superficially you seem to have gotten a bargain, but that extra money will definitely find its way back in some other form in the future, the Heavenly Dao is always fair.”
“…”
Fair?
...
Xia Xin murmured in his heart, not daring to speak out loud.
“All right.” Seeing his downcast look, Jiangli patted his shoulder and said, “Relax, it’s just six million, right? Didn’t we earn over two million just today? Your ancestor, me, am still pretty quick at making money.”
Xia Xin thought about it, and it seemed to be true.
The balance in their account was steadily increasing.
With that thought, Xia Xin felt a bit more at ease. He was just about to happily take out his phone to check when Jiangli looked at the front door of their house and suddenly said, “Xia Xin, let’s install an automatic door too!”
“… Huh?”
Xia Xin was stunned and did not catch on immediately.

Looking up at Jiangli, who was brimming with enthusiasm, he suddenly remembered that when they were at the Cao Family’s place, Jiangli had seemed very interested in their automatic door.
After he mentioned it then, Jiangli had not brought it up again.
He thought Jiangli had forgotten about it.
But here was the ancestor, waiting for him to bring it up…
Xia Xin scratched his head, unsure how to respond, “Ancestor, automatic doors are indeed nice, but we’re a Taoist Temple here, and we need to welcome pilgrims through the doors daily. It doesn’t seem fitting to install fingerprint-recognized doors for either the main gate or the hall doors.”
Jiangli asked curiously, “Fingerprint recognition?”
“Yes, like the door at Mr. Cao’s house, it’s a fingerprint-recognized door.” Xia Xin gestured with his hands, “Ancestor, didn’t you see it? Mr. Cao pressed his finger on it, and the door opened; it recognized his fingerprint.”
“So that’s how it works…”
Jiangli murmured, no wonder Mr. Cao had done that then.
She touched her chin, looking around; the main hall and the gate indeed weren’t suitable for such doors, but…
“Then let’s install it on my meditation room’s door!”
Xia Xin, facing her excited gaze, paused for a moment, “Ancestor, I don’t think we’ve decided yet which meditation room you’ll be staying in, have we?”
Jiangli made a sound of surprise, “Didn’t you and the old Taoist leave a room for me?”
“Um…” Xia Xin lowered his head in embarrassment, not wanting to say that the old Taoist had told him about Jiangli’s imminent emergence from retreat just before his death and asked him to prepare everything that the ancestor would need.
But…
At that time, he only thought his master was out of his mind. How could anyone possibly retreat for eight hundred years?
If there had really been such an ancestor, their Jiaoyang Temple wouldn’t have been in such a sorry state.
So, he never believed his master’s words and hadn’t made any preparations for Jiangli’s return.
Seeing right through his thoughts, Jiangli said helplessly, “Which room did the old Taoist stay in? Then I’ll just stay in that room, just do a simple clean-up.”
Xia Xin nodded quickly, “Alright, I’ll clean up right away!”
“Good.” Jiangli said with a smile, “After you’ve cleaned up, let’s change the door! Those automatic doors are fun, I want one!”
Xia Xin: “…”
