Chapter 154: Chapter 154: The Ancestor’s Boyfriend
“Abbot.” Fu Shiyan felt Xia Xin’s gaze and glanced back, but didn’t take it to heart, “Just now the abbot mentioned that we need some incense ash to deal with the things under the pine tree, and here is the Taoist Temple, so there should be some here, right?”
Jiangli nodded, “Yes, we do have aged incense ash. If President Fu and your party would like some, feel free to go in and take it—free of charge. After all, President Fu is my boyfriend, so you deserve that little perk.”
Xia Xin: “…”
Wen Zishu was trying so hard to hold back his laughter he was almost going crazy.
Catching a glimpse of his reaction from the corner of his eye, Fu Shiyan cast a dispassionate glance his way.

Wen Zishu immediately tensed up, “I, I’ll go fetch the incense ash. I’m on it right now!”
With that, he grabbed Duan Jianchuan who had just gotten out of the car and both went to fetch the incense ash.
Jiangli turned to Xia Xin at his side, “Xiaoxin, follow them and help out.”
“Ancestor, I don’t know anything about this stuff, come with me!” Xia Xin clung to Jiangli’s arm. Right now, the last thing he wanted was to leave his ancestor alone with Fu Shiyan.
Even though Fu Shiyan had money, he was also full of tricks, and Xia Xin needed to protect his ancestor!
“You can’t even handle this little thing?” Jiangli frowned with disdain, not understanding what his issue was.
Xia Xin refused to let go, “I, I just don’t know how…”
“…Never mind.” Jiangli couldn’t help but let out a sigh of resignation, having chosen a disciple himself after all.
She led the way into Jiaoyang Temple first.
Clutching her arm, Xia Xin hurriedly followed.
Fu Shiyan watched their retreating figures, standing by the car and waiting, glancing at Jiaoyang Temple with a shadow flickering in his eyes.
Jiangli and Xia Xin went in and helped Wen Zishu and Duan Jianchuan collect some incense ash.
Jiangli had Xia Xin prepare a bag, carefully packed it for them, and instructed, “You don’t need too much. Here is a purification talisman; just burn it together with the ash when the time comes.”
She handed over a purification talisman.
Wen Zishu immediately accepted it, “Abbot, how much for this talisman?”
“Considering President Fu is my boyfriend, this talisman is free, no charge,” Jiangli said generously.
Wen Zishu couldn’t help but snort with laughter.
Jiangli, puzzled, asked, “What’s wrong? I gave you a discount and you seem displeased?”
“No, no, not at all, Abbot. I didn’t mean that. Um, thank you, Abbot. We’ll be heading out now!”
Fearing he wouldn’t be able to control his emotions, Wen Zishu hurriedly waved his hands, grabbed Duan Jianchuan next to him, and ran out.
Jiangli wrinkled her brows in suspicion, turned back to Xia Xin, and asked, “What’s wrong with them? Why do they seem unhappy with a freebie?”
Xia Xin tried to hold back his laughter and explained, “Ancestor, actually, boyfriend doesn’t mean that.”
“It doesn’t mean a male friend?” Jiangli asked in confusion.
Xia Xin clarified, “Yes… well… you could put it that way, but in modern times when we use that term, it mostly refers to one’s partner, like a future spouse, so it’s specific, not just any male friend can be called a boyfriend.”
The bewilderment in Jiangli’s large eyes intensified, “But that’s not how Fu Shiyan put it, and you didn’t say so at that time either.”
“I…” Xia Xin chuckled awkwardly, “I didn’t have the chance at that time, right? Anyway, Ancestor, let’s forget the past. From now on, please never casually tell a man that he is your boyfriend. It’s not appropriate!”
Jiangli pouted, “Modern people are really complicated. Boyfriend, girlfriend—it just means male friends, female friends, right? And there’s even a specific meaning. Troublesome…”
Xia Xin, at a loss for words, opened his mouth to explain, but Jiangli had already gone off towards a side hall.
Seeing this, Xia Xin swallowed the words he had been about to say.
