Chapter 167: Chapter 167: The Ancestor’s Perplexity
Jiangli and Xia Xin stood at the grand entrance of the Taoist Temple, watching Wang Xinjun and Wang Yao leave in two separate cars before they leisurely walked towards a nearby restaurant.
Xia Xin, following beside Jiangli, thought of Wang Yao and couldn’t help but ask, “Old Ancestor, is it really okay to not keep an eye on Wang Yao?”
“Once he finds a place to live, he’ll naturally contact you. In broad daylight, that thing can’t possibly come out. What’s the rush?” Jiangli glanced around, looking for a restaurant that caught her eye.
Xia Xin let out a sound of acknowledgment. With the Old Ancestor saying so, there definitely wouldn’t be a problem. He sighed and said, “There definitely won’t be a problem on Wang Yao’s side. I just wonder how Nana is doing?”
“You really are sentimental.” Jiangli glanced at him and said helplessly, “Didn’t she say she was okay when you called earlier?”
Xia Xin said, “She only said she was temporarily rescued. Who knows what will happen later?”
Jiangli clicked her tongue, “No worries, rest assured.”
Having heard this from her, Xia Xin finally felt relieved.
“By the way,” Jiangli added, “Xia Xin, didn’t you say you’d help me get a bank card?”
Xia Xin: “…Ah, right.”
Jiangli’s eyes gleamed, “Then how about we go get the bank card now? Does getting a bank card mean I’ll have money?”
“…Not exactly. After getting the card, you need to deposit money into it to actually have money in there.” Xia Xin wiped the sweat from his forehead and chuckled nervously, “And, Old Ancestor, it’s already past four in the afternoon, almost five o’clock. The bank is about to close. Definitely not going to happen today. How about we do it tomorrow?”
Jiangli frowned, “Closing? What does that mean?”
“It means… you can go home to rest.” Xia Xin tried to explain, “Like how officials used to have sessions and then go home to rest, right? ‘Closing’ is more or less the same concept.”
Jiangli let out an “Oh” and with a look of disdain said, “You guys finish work really early. It’s still broad daylight!”
Xia Xin chuckled.
Old Ancestor, how would you know the pain of overtimers?
“Anyway, Old Ancestor, let’s not talk about this. I’ll take you to get a card tomorrow, shall we eat now?” Xia Xin changed the subject.
Jiangli touched her flat stomach and said, “Sounds good, let’s find a place to eat first.”
Xia Xin caught a glimpse of a nearby restaurant and pointed to it, saying, “Old Ancestor, how about we try Japanese cuisine?”
Jiangli followed his pointing finger and looked over at the restaurant with a somewhat strange facade, expressing her doubt, “What does ‘Japanese cuisine’ mean?”
“It’s, it’s the cuisine of Japan. Each region is different, and the preferred foods differ as well, each with its own culture.” Xia Xin racked his brain trying to explain.
Jiangli remained puzzled, “And which region is Japan?”
Xia Xin: “…”
During the Old Ancestor’s time, was Japan not called Japan?
Trying his best to recall the historical names of Japan, Xia Xin said, “It should be what was anciently called Fusang, Wa country?”
Jiangli raised an eyebrow, “Isn’t that one of our vassal states?”
Xia Xin: “…It’s now an independent country.”
Jiangli blinked, “Such a small place, with short and unattractive people, can become an independent country?”
Xia Xin: “…Have you been to Fusang before, Old Ancestor?”
Jiangli hummed, “I’ve been there before to observe their shamanism. Mediocre, nothing to write home about.”
She then expressed her distaste, “And the food wasn’t appealing, all raw.”
Xia Xin chuckled awkwardly, “…Yes, that’s right. They do like to eat things raw over there…”

Jiangli lost interest and said, “I’m not used to it, let’s find another place.”
“Then…” Xia Xin shifted his gaze and pointed to a restaurant a dozen meters away, “What about that restaurant? It’s Korean cuisine.”
