Chapter 1127: Chapter 1127: No Shelter
Jiangli maintained an indifferent face, "Sorry, I don’t have a place to stay in J City yet. You can find a hotel for yourself to stay at."
Qing Yue sighed, hands in his pockets, "This is just too miserable for me. I’m here to help the Abbot, and this is how he treats me? Isn’t he ignoring basic human decency?"
Jiangli: "...I don’t understand what you’re saying."
Qing Yue wanted to say more upon hearing this.
But Jiangli turned his head to Wei Qingran beside him and said, "Miss Wei, do me a favor."
Wei Qingran nodded, "What is it?"
Jiangli: "Please help him find a hotel in the city just for one night, it’s not necessary for longer, and he’ll be gone by tomorrow morning."
Qing Yue: "..."
Wei Qingran was stunned, pointing at herself, "Me, find him a hotel? Then what about you, Abbot?"
"I have some matters that need handling tonight."
Jiangli said calmly and signaled to Xia Xin with a glance, "Come with me."
Xia Xin didn’t know what Jiangli planned to do but nodded instinctively, "Oh okay."
Upon hearing this, Jiangli confirmed again with Wei Qingran, "I’ll leave him to you, Miss Wei."
Wei Qingran: "..."
Looking at Qing Yue, she felt very conflicted.
To have her, an ordinary person, with a Nine-Tailed Fox together...
It’s quite terrifying.
But Wei Qingran owed Jiangli a lot of favors, and it was embarrassing to refuse.
Besides... Since this Nine-Tailed Fox is a friend of the Abbot, it shouldn’t be a hostile demon, right?
Thinking of this, Wei Qingran looked at Qing Yue and swallowed back the words of seeking help.
However, seeing Jiangli and Xia Xin about to leave, Qing Yue blocked them and asked, "Abbot, where are you going so late?"
Jiangli acted as if he hadn’t heard and walked straight out of the neighborhood.
Qing Yue raised an eyebrow, exposing, "Is the Abbot going to Jin Mountain?"
Jiangli paused, turned his head, and gave Qing Yue a cold look, "For Fu Shiyan’s sake, I don’t want to harm you, but I advise you not to be too interested in my affairs, as it will not be beneficial for you."
Having said this, Jiangli walked away without looking back, clearly not wanting to waste words with Qing Yue.
Xia Xin nodded to Qing Yue and Wei Qingran, then hurried after Jiangli, jogging away.
As he watched them depart, Qing Yue licked his gums, half-smiling.
"Um..." Wei Qingran approached, heart in her throat, "Sir, shall I help you find a hotel to rest?"
Qing Yue glanced at Wei Qingran and smiled slyly, "No need, pretty sister, I’ll find a place to rest myself, don’t trouble yourself."
With that, he made a flirtatious gesture of a flying kiss to Wei Qingran and turned to leave.
Leaving Wei Qingran alone, bewildered in the breeze.
What a situation...
...
Xia Xin followed behind Jiangli, walking out of the neighborhood, and glanced back. The entire area was now shrouded in the dim night light.
He trailed closely behind Jiangli, recalling Qing Yue’s words, and quietly asked, "Ancestor, are we really going to Jin Mountain now?"
Jiangli’s attitude shifted from earlier with Qing Yue, and he gave an affirming hum in response.
Xia Xin’s eyes widened, "We’re really going to Jin Mountain, huh?" He speculated suspiciously, "Is it because of that blessed sanctuary the Fox Demon mentioned? Does the Ancestor want to investigate?"
Jiangli hummed again, but didn’t say anything else.
Xia Xin scratched his head, feeling utterly confused, not understanding what the Ancestor intended to do, and muttered, "But it’s too late today, isn’t it unsafe to go up the mountain now? If the Ancestor isn’t in a hurry, can’t we go tomorrow?"
