“Grandma asked you to come over.” Quan Jue took the floral cloth bag from her hand.
He had thought that the floral cloth bag was very light and had not used much strength to take it, causing the bag to almost slip out of his hand.
Chi Jiao nodded to show that she understood. She smiled as she looked at the cloth bag from him. “Isn’t it quite heavy?”
Quan Jue couldn’t help but reassess the girl before him.
The cloth bag was made of an unknown material. The items inside were at least 20 pounds heavy.
Jiaojiao could actually carry it and run so quickly.
She was giving him more and more surprises.
“It’s not heavy. Let’s go.” Quan Jue held her hand with his other hand.
Chi Jiao chattered non-stop beside him. Quan Jue had a faint doting smile on his face as he listened to her.
The two of them walked to the front yard. Liu Ruhua, Ou Zhenglin, Jiang Shen, and Jiang Xiaoli were waiting for them in the front yard.
The moment Jiang Xiaoli saw Quan Jue, she recalled how he had strangled her yesterday and felt her heart throb.
She felt that Quan Jue had an antisocial personality. Such a person was more terrifying than Espers.
“Jiaojiao, Vice Head Jiang is leaving this afternoon. Before he leaves, he wants to go to the Glazed Tile Temple to offer some incense. You can lead him, and bring Xiao Jue to see the beautiful scenery of Mount Li too,” Ou Zhenglin said to Chi Jiao with a smile.
Glazed Tile Temple was a temple on Mount Li. It was rather famous and had a lot of incense offerings.
The reason why Ou Zhenglin wanted to send Chi Jiao and Quan Jue away was that there was quite a lot of work to be done today. Other than Old Chen, the servants in the house had returned to their hometown a week earlier. He and his wife couldn’t bear to let Jiaojiao do any labor.
After all, Chi Yexi, Shen Liao, and Gu Xia would be back soon. There were enough people at home.
They might as well let Jiaojiao take Quan Jue out for a walk and experience the beautiful scenery of Mount Li.
“Alright,” Chi Jiao agreed obediently. She glanced at Jiang Xiaoli with a dark glint in her eyes.
…
Glazed Tile Temple was built at the top of the mountain. To get there from the middle of the mountain, one would have to take a cable car or climb up.
In order to save time, Jiang Shen chose to take the cable car.
Quite a few people came today to offer incense. The majority were people who lived near Mount Li, wanting to pray for good luck on this special day.
There was a flower deity temple beside the Glazed Tile Temple. It was specifically for people seeking marriage blessings.
Chi Jiao also offered incense in Glazed Tile Temple and donated to the Merit Box. She prayed that she and Quan Jue could live happily ever after.
Jiang Shen and Jiang Xiaoli wanted to visit the abbot. Chi Jiao didn’t want to go with them, so she waited for them outside the temple with Quan Jue.
“Jiaojiao, stay away from that Jiang Xiaoli,” Quan Jue said to her as soon as they left the temple.
He had seen Jiang Xiaoli glare at Jiaojiao a few times.
Chi Jiao nodded obediently and pointed to the flower deity temple not far away. “Brother Quan, let’s go to the flower deity temple.”
“Okay,” Quan Jue whispered.
The flower deity temple’s incense offerings were not as good as the Glazed Tile Temple’s. On a day like this one, not many people came to seek good marriage.
Chi Jiao looked at Quan Jue standing at the side after paying her respects to the Flower Goddess.
When he went to Glazed Tile Temple earlier, Quan Jue did not offer any incense. He only donated money to the Merit Box.
“Brother Quan, aren’t you going to offer some incense to the Flower Goddess? You can pray for a smooth relationship,” Chi Jiao said to him with a smile.
