Chapter 273: Chapter 273: The Call for Help Chapter 273: Chapter 273: The Call for Help Xia Xin lifted his head from the thrill of excitent, “What serious matter?”
He had long forgotten.
Jiangli rolled her eyes, took a sip of her instant noodle soup, and then said, “Wasn’t it agreed that we would draw five free slots tonight? Have you seen what ti it is now? Are we still going to do it?”
“Damn, I totally forgot about that!”
Xia Xin slapped his forehead, imdiately grabbed Jiangli’s phone, and turned it on to check.
Sure enough, the private ssages and comnt section were exploding.
Not only because Xia Xin was late in drawing the five free slots.
But also because, just a few minutes ago, Wu i had posted on behalf of Fan Siguo, proving the authenticity of Jiangli’s fortune telling.
The excitent around Jiangli had already died down a tad over the course of the day.
Wu i’s post reignited the buzz, sending Jiangli back to the top of the popularity charts.
The number of fans asking why the slots hadn’t been drawn yet was on the rise.
Xia Xin, without a mont to be surprised, imdiately posted a new ssage.
[Sorry for being late, I’ve just sorted out Mr. Fan Siguo’s family affairs. I’m starting the draw for the free slots now, the sa old rule, ten minutes later, a random screenshot from the comnt section, whichever five cuties I capture, they’re the chosen ones!]
This ti Xia Xin was smarter, adding a note in the comnt section.
[If you’re selected, and it’s personal or family matters you want inquired about, please send over your date and ti of birth. If it’s about finding lost items or other issues, please inquire in detail before we decide, to avoid wasting everyone’s ti.]
No sooner had Xia Xin’s post gone live than the notifications on his phone had stopped.
Ding ding ding ding ding——
He didn’t know how long it had gone on.
Xia Xin figured it wasn’t going to stop anyti soon, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, “Ancestress, everything’s arranged, shall we draw five people for a free reading like yesterday?”
“How else could it be?” Jiangli nodded, finishing off the last of her sausage and exclaid, “Delicious!”
Xia Xin thought to himself that if she ate it every day, she probably wouldn’t find it as tasty.
But now was not the ti for such thoughts.
Xia Xin took the empty noodle bowl from her and said, “Well, Ancestress, we’ll start in ten minutes, you take a break for a while.”
“A break?” Jiangli wiped her mouth, giving him a aningful look, “We can’t rest yet.”
Xia Xin paused mid-motion, “Could there be sothing else going on?”
Jiangli’s face held a teasing smile, purposely being mysterious, “Just wait, you’ll find out soon.”
Xia Xin scratched his head, filled with suspicion.
But since Jiangli had said so, there must be sothing.
He put the noodle bowl on the table and didn’t leave.
Almost as soon as he put down the bowl, his phone suddenly rang.
Even though it was his own ringtone, it still gave him a start.
Xia Xin’s heart skipped a beat, and he fumbled to take out his phone only to see that it was a voice call from Young Master Yao.
Xia Xin uttered a surprised sound, “Ancestress, it’s a voice call from Young Master Yao; what does he an by this? Could sothing have happened at his end?”
He rembered that Jiangli had spoken to Young Master Yao before…
“Pick it up and you’ll know,” Jiangli said with a slight lift of her chin, composed as ever.
Seeing her so sure and unsurprised, Xia Xin understood that all of this was within the Ancestress’s expectations.
He decisively answered the voice call, “Hello, Yao…”
“Hello, is this Jiaoyang Temple? Are you, are you the Abbot of Jiaoyang Temple?”
Xia Xin hadn’t finished his sentence when a tense male voice ca from the other end.
The man seed to be trembling, his voice tight and quivering continuously, even carrying a hint of a sob.
It was as if sothing had scared him, and badly at that.
Xia Xin looked at Jiangli and chose to put the call on speaker, “Well, Young Master Yao, this is Jiaoyang Temple, I’m the disciple of the Abbot. May I ask why you’re calling so late, is there a matter?”
