Chapter 800: Chapter 800: Arrival
Xia Xin looked at Jiangli in a daze and, seeing that Jiangli was impatiently glancing over, he shivered and ca back to his senses, “Ancestor, I’ve confird with Uncle Pei Jiu, and they’re willing to pay an extra fee of 800,000.”
Upon hearing this, Jiangli frowned, “Didn’t I say before, to deal with the extra work for our fellow sect mbers, the price should be at least 1.6 million.”
Xia Xin: “…”
He was stupefied for a mont.
This price… was it not aid at Zhu Ming?
He had always thought that the ancestor had ntioned this price with Zhu Ming in mind.
Had he misunderstood?
Seeing his dazed look, Jiangli waved his hand, “Forget it, 800,000 is fine, let’s go.”
With that, Jiangli took the lead and started walking out.
Xia Xin snapped back to his senses and hurriedly followed, “Ancestor, we’re going to Minsheng Pharmaceutical Factory, right? The car I called has already arrived; it’s waiting for us at the entrance.”
Jiangli nodded, “I know.”
As they passed the main hall, Fu’er was cleaning inside.
Seeing that Jiangli and Xia Xin were about to go out, Fu’er asked without surprise, “Ancestor, are you going out?”
Jiangli humd in response, “A little matter, I’ll be right back.”
Fu’er obediently said, “Then, Ancestor, be careful. Don’t worry about the temple, I will take good care of it.”
Jiangli waved at him and then walked out.
After Xia Xin reached the entrance of the main hall, he pulled out a bunch of things, cradled them in his arms, and scurried after Jiangli.
The car Xia Xin had called was already waiting at the entrance.
But this car…
Was a bit too ordinary.
Jiangli felt a little cramped when she got in, she frowned, and then suddenly said to Xia Xin who had just got in, “After this matter is settled, you’re going to learn to drive.”
Xia Xin, struggling to get comfortable, heard this and startled, “Ah?”
Jiangli turned her head to look at him, “Any problem?”
Xia Xin was shaking in his boots, “No, no problem!”
Jiangli nodded slightly, showing a ‘that’s more like it’ expression.
The driver in front: “…”
He felt a wave of implication.
Xia Xin cleared his throat and imdiately reported an address to the driver.
The driver started the car and asked, “Are you going to Minsheng dicine?”
Xia Xin nodded, “Yes, we have sothing to take care of over there…”
The driver uttered an “oh” and didn’t forget to gossip, “Minsheng dicine has been turbulent lately, a lot of homicides, what are you going there for now? Could it be that Minsheng dicine’s problems aren’t just simple homicides and you need help from the Taoist Temple?”
The driver said this half-jokingly, recalling that Jiangli and Xia Xin had just co out of the Taoist Temple.
Xia Xin forced a laugh, “Not really, just going to take a look…”
The driver glanced at the two ‘kids’ and thought, even if Minsheng dicine had gone mad and invited the Taoist Temple to help exorcise demons and perform rituals, they wouldn’t ask two kids.
He guessed the two kids had simply heard about the issues at Minsheng dicine and were too curious, wanting to gossip.
The driver convinced himself of this.
Jiangli and Xia Xin said nothing further.
The car rapidly reached Jade Mountain.
Jade Mountain was also one of F City’s famous mountains, though not as well-known as Xuanji Mountain, nor was it a tourist area.
Ever since Minsheng Pharmaceutical Factory and its research base were established here, everything about Jade Mountain had changed.
While the mountain remained, it lost the appearance of pristine wilderness, marked everywhere by human alterations.
The driver stopped the car outside the gate of Minsheng Pharmaceutical Factory, “Young man, we’re here.”
Xia Xin thanked him, paid swiftly, and got out with Jiangli.
The driver rolled down the window and shouted to them, “Hey, young man, do you want to wait for you? It’s not easy to get a taxi in this place.”
