Chapter 4: First Impression

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Among the Ji family brothers, only Ji Ling has seen Ji Jing’s appearance when she was a child. Most of the others have only heard about it in the occasional newsletter of Ji’s parents and seen photos when they were one year old.

Ji Hui said: “But if she is, that’s a good thing. Our parents will definitely be happy.”

When Ji Yi heard this, she frowned directly, “She is a superstitious feudalist, if it’s really Ji Jing, she wouldn’t have brought this into the house, would she?”

Ji Ying said, “Heh, let her believe in feudal superstitions if she wants, but if she thinks she can do whatever she wants because of blood ties, especially if she wants to bully Yao Yao, I won’t let her off the hook.”

Ji Hui agreed and said, “Yes, we definitely can’t let her bully Yao Yao. It’s almost the same as giving her more money. If she can be more obedient, I can’t control what she does, but if she’s not obedient, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Although Lingyun View was not a large Taoist temple, the abbot had taken on several disciples to pass on his teachings.

Most of the disciples had traveled in pairs and left, and currently, there was only Zizhu, who had been forcibly kept by the abbot, Chen Ting, the second senior sister who was nursing her leg injury in the temple, and some young disciples.

Although Lingyun View was a small Taoist temple, surprisingly, it did not lack incense, and a few worshippers were currently offering incense in pairs.

Ji Hui and Ji Yi were both very handsome, with one looking sunny and beautiful, while the other was aloof and arrogant. They appeared at the door of Lingyun View, and their temperament was too outstanding among the simple worshippers, quickly attracting the attention of many people.

Chen Ting, who passed by the main hall, also noticed them. Her many years of experience walking down the mountain allowed her to see at a glance that the two were dressed quite lavishly, and combined with their temperament, it was clear that they were either rich or noble.

She quickly greeted them and learned that they were here to find the little Taoist sister who appeared on TV yesterday.

“It turns out that you’re looking for Zizhu’s junior sister. Please sit in the quiet room first, and I’ll report to the abbot.”

Chen Ting secretly gritted her teeth. Zizhu, why was it always her? Yesterday she had gained so much attention, and today there were people coming to find her again. And they were obviously rich or noble, wasn’t it just good luck?

Chen Ting hated it. Her leg wasn’t really sprained, it was just that Zizhu’s dog had bitten her! She could only rest in the temple while Zizhu went down the mountain to rescue people and gain all the fame. Now these two people were here to find her, who knew what good fortune was in store for Ji Jing!

Chen Ting led the two to the quiet room, and as soon as she left, she met a fellow junior disciple, Zhang Ning.

Zhang Ning and Zizhu were not usually on good terms. As soon as Chen Ting saw her, she quickly called out, “Zhang Ning junior sister, have you seen Zizhu?”

Chen Ting also gave Zhang Ning a meaningful look.

Zhang Ning understood and replied, “Sister Zizhu has gone down the mountain. Is someone looking for her?”

Chen Ting discreetly raises her voice, “Yes, a few kind-hearted people have come to the temple to find her. Since Zi Zhu isn’t here, I’ll go find the abbot.” She gestures with her eyes to indicate that the people are in the quiet room behind her.

Zhang Ning immediately responds, “Sister, why bother with Zi Zhu? She’s not worth it. It was the beast she raised that bit you, and that’s why you’re still recuperating in the temple. She’s been bullying people all the time, and jealous of your high level of cultivation. Maybe she instructed the dog to bite you.”

Chen Ting pretends to dissuade her, “Okay, okay, I know you’re standing up for me, but Zi Zhu has a reputation now, so let’s be careful with our words.” She makes a motion to pull Zhang Ning away.

Zhang Ning also understands and follows her, walking away slowly while lowering her voice, “That news might be intentionally staged by her. The temple usually keeps a low profile, but there was only a back view in the video. How come the reporter found us the next day?”

Chen Ting sighs, “Let’s stop talking about it.”

In the quiet room, the faces of the Ji family brothers were not very good.

When the commotion outside gradually subsided, Ji Yi frowned and said, “So the little nun who saved people on TV yesterday is like this.”

Ji Ying also continued: “Jealous, bullying, and greedy for vanity, the Taoist nun outside the gate made some sense. This Taoist temple is very remote, but she only took two days from saving people to being famous in interviews. It’s so fast, it’s hard not to suspect it’s a deliberate arrangement.”
