Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Is There a Taoist in the Temple?

Bang!

The piano hit the ground, and Qin Yi slowly withdrew his hand, then looked at Qin Wan’er and playfully held her chin to close her mouth.

Qin Wan’er was so shocked her jaw almost dropped.

After a long while, Qin Wan’er stupidly asked, "Brother, are you really an immortal?"

Qin Yi chuckled, "Not as exaggerated as you say, but close enough."

Half an hour later, Qin Wan’er finally fully accepted the new version of her brother in front of her.

Of course, Qin Wan’er was more happy than surprised.

After all, after so many years, her wish for her brother’s legs to heal and for him to be able to walk like a normal person had come true.

"Wan’er, I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have kept it a secret from you."

Qin Wan’er shook her head; as long as her brother was okay, nothing else mattered more.

But suddenly, Qin Wan’er asked in panic, "Brother, will you go back to heaven?"

"Uh..."

Qin Yi laughed and said, "Don’t worry, brother will always be by your side! Watching you grow up, watching you get married."

Qin Wan’er scrunched her nose and said coyly, "I don’t want to get married, I want to stay with brother."

"Haha... silly girl!" Qin Yi couldn’t help but laugh.

Qin Yi glanced at the time and said, "It’s getting late, it’s mealtime, let’s find a place to celebrate."

"Yay!" Qin Wan’er jumped three feet high with joy.

Qin Yi said to Dong Zhiping, "Call Liu Zhanyuan and the others, let’s have a lively celebration."

Dong Zhiping nodded, "Then let’s set it at Jiahe Hotel, what do you think?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

...

Jiahe Hotel is also a Dong Family property.

On the top floor, in the largest VIP room.

The table was filled with delicious dishes, exotic game from the mountains, swallow from the clouds, beef and mutton from the land, seafood from the ocean, everything one could want.

Dong Zhiping brought a bottle of wine worth a million yuan.

Liu Zhanyuan and the others arrived together and brought gifts.

Dong Zhiping had already told them everything.

Previously, they didn’t dare to curry favor with Qin Wan’er because she didn’t know Qin Yi’s identity, but now it didn’t matter.

"Miss Wan’er, this is a small gift for you."

Jin Wenchang eagerly handed a beautifully crafted box to Qin Wan’er.

Qin Wan’er instinctively looked to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi smiled and nodded, "Take it!"

Qin Wan’er accepted the box, smiling sweetly, but felt awkward as she was about to thank him because she didn’t know his name.

"Miss Wan’er, my name is Jin Wenchang."

"Thank you, Uncle Jin."

Jin Wenchang was so startled he almost knelt down; he was merely Qin Yi’s lackey and couldn’t bear such a title.

"Miss Wan’er, just call me by my name, or Old Jin, Little Jin, anything is fine." Jin Wenchang wiped sweat from his forehead.

Qin Wan’er was dumbfounded. How could that be?

Qin Yi waved his hand, "Alright, just call him that!"

He didn’t want Qin Wan’er to turn into an arrogant and impolite young lady.

Jin Wenchang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let’s see what kind of good stuff he gave you?"

Qin Wan’er opened the box, and inside was a smooth white jade, the size of a child’s fist.

Qin Yi took it out and rubbed it a few times, his expression becoming strange.

"Where did you get this jade?" Qin Yi asked.

Jin Wenchang quickly replied, "I bought it from a Taoist priest at Fuyuan Temple while offering incense. He said it was an ancient natural jade with spiritual energy! Isn’t it said that jade nourishes people? I thought this would be the most suitable gift for Miss Wan’er."

Qin Yi chuckled, a mob guy burning incense and praying for protection... but wait, Buddha?

Qin Yi felt something was off, and just then, Qin Wan’er asked in surprise, "Aren’t there only monks at Fuyuan Temple? How is there a Taoist?"

Qin Yi suddenly realized, that’s what was off.

No one had noticed initially, but when Qin Wan’er mentioned it, everyone caught on.

Jin Wenchang was also stunned. Yeah, why would there be a Taoist in a temple?

Qin Yi sighed deeply, "This jade is fake."

Jin Wenchang’s face turned white with fear. "Master, I, I didn’t intentionally try to deceive Miss Wan’er with a fake jade, I..."

Qin Yi waved his hand, "I know you didn’t do it on purpose, I’m saying you got scammed, your intelligence is really..."

Qin Yi didn’t finish his sentence, shaking his head helplessly. Jin Wenchang wouldn’t dare to trick Wan’er with a fake jade.

Jin Wenchang’s face turned red with shame, almost bleeding from embarrassment.

Qin Yi asked with a smile, "How much did this jade cost you?"

Jin Wenchang whispered, "Over four hundred thousand."

Everyone: "..."

Qin Wan’er was full of shock, spending over four hundred thousand on a piece of jade, these people were really wealthy; she hadn’t even saved up four thousand yet.

"Old Jin, you’re an old hand at this, yet you got fooled so easily. Buying something from a Taoist in a temple, you’re definitely the first."

Everyone looked at Jin Wenchang with both sympathy and amusement.

Jin Wenchang couldn’t bear the shame; he’d been hunting geese all his life, and now the geese had pecked at his eyes... he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

"Master, I’ll just go out and make a call."

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

Jin Wenchang left, and everyone knew he must be sending people to find that Taoist. Forty thousand meant nothing to Jin Wenchang, but losing face did, especially when it involved a gift for Qin Wan’er going wrong.

"Miss Wan’er, take a look at the gift I got you."

Zhang Wenhao placed a beautifully crafted box in front of Qin Wan’er.

Qin Wan’er looked to Qin Yi.

"Open it and see!"

Qin Wan’er opened the box, and when she saw the contents, she was stunned!

Inside the box Zhang Wenhao gave, it was full of jewelry—various gold bracelets, gold necklaces, and gold rings.

Qin Yi twitched at the corners of his mouth, this gift was really thoughtless... but considering the value of what’s inside, he let it slide.

Qin Wan’er said nervously, "This, this is too valuable, I can’t accept it."

The jade she couldn’t gauge the value of, but even a fool could tell a box full of gold was worth a lot.

Zhang Wenhao nervously asked, "Does Miss Wan’er not like it? I really am not good at picking, maybe Miss Wan’er could choose something herself later, any gold shop in Yinfeng City is open for you to pick."

Qin Wan’er shook her head and quickly said, "No, it’s just that this is really too valuable."

Qin Yi said, "Wan’er, just accept it! It’s at least a token of your Uncle Zhang’s heart, although a little thoughtless."

Zhang Wenhao was embarrassed, as he didn’t have time to carefully choose due to the rush.

"Brother, this is too valuable! We can’t accept such expensive things from others."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Take it back!"

Qin Yi gave Zhang Wenhao a look, as the gift was too expensive, Qin Wan’er would definitely not accept it.

Zhang Wenhao looked dejected.

"But still, thank you, Uncle Zhang!" Qin Wan’er stood up and cutely bowed to Zhang Wenhao.

Zhang Wenhao was so startled he shivered, quickly returning the gesture.

"Mr. Qin is right, your gifts really lack thought, watch mine... I guarantee Miss Wan’er will like it!"

Liu Zhanyuan said, taking out his phone to dial a number, asking someone to bring the gift up.
