Ji Hui made a conclusion, “This Zizhu seems to be very good at using people and resources around her. If she is really the Ji Jing we are looking for, she will have the intention to deal with Yao Yao after returning home. Yao Yao is so simple, she will definitely suffer a loss.”
Ji Ying said, “If she really is Ji Jing… we must protect Yao Yao. No, I will go and inquire again.”
Zhang Ning and Chen Ting eavesdropped quietly outside the door. Although they didn’t know who Ji Jing and Yao Yao were, these people clearly believed what they were saying and had a bad impression of Zizhu.
Zhang Ning was signaled to stay behind to facilitate the “inquiry” of that kind person, while Chen Ting left satisfied to find the abbot. She couldn’t leave any handles behind.
The abbot soon came to the quiet room and sat facing Ji Hui and Ji Yi.
After hearing Ji Hui’s explanation, the abbot stroked his goatee and said calmly, “Not bad, she is indeed the one I picked up by the Qing Shui River sixteen years ago. However, she is my chief disciple after all. You cannot take my disciple away with just empty words. You need hair and blood for testing, this is impossible.”
Ji Yi frowned, “What conditions do you want?”
The abbot slowly extended a hand and opened it.
Ji Hui understood immediately and said, “Of course, it is difficult to repay the kindness of the abbot’s upbringing. To express the gratitude of the Ji family, if it is confirmed that this little Taoist nun is indeed our Ji Jing, I am willing to donate fifty thousand yuan on behalf of the Ji family to Lingyun Temple.”
The abbot smiled and shook his head.
Ji Hui gritted his teeth and said, “Five million?”
The abbot nodded, “A wise person. Just one donation is enough, and also, this kind person has a peach blossom fate, I have a talisman to solve it.”
Ji Yi now completely understood. This old Taoist not only wanted money, but also wanted to receive payment before producing results. What peach blossom fate, this was something only a three-year-old would fall for!
This Taoist temple was not a legitimate temple, but relied on pretending to be supernatural to swindle people’s money.
Ji Hui laughed out loud in anger, stood up, and said through gritted teeth, “Five million to buy a paternity test for your disciple? Old Taoist, you really dare to say anything. Why don’t you just go and rob people?”
The abbot remained seated, only stroking his tea and not caring about being scolded.
He originally wanted to refuse to let them leave, but thinking of his elder brother’s instructions to discuss it properly before making a decision, and also his parents’ expectations, he had to endure it for now and said, “I’ll go make a call.”
After saying this, he slammed the door and left.
Ji Yi followed Ji Hui out, “Brother, let’s go. Isn’t this just a scam?”
Ji Hui took out his phone and made a video call to Ji Ming, “There’s no way. Big brother asked me to try my best to talk to her before leaving, and now this situation, I have to tell mom and dad.”
The video call was quickly connected, and Ji Hui told Ji Ming everything he heard in the Taoist temple, as well as the five million yuan matter.
Ji Ming also frowned deeply on the video, but he still insisted, “Five million, our Ji family can afford it. She looks too much like her. Several five million were spent by our family to find Jingjing back then. It’s just a little more this time, let’s give it.”
Ji Hui didn’t quite understand, “Dad, it’s completely unnecessary. There are many ways to make that little nun cooperate obediently, as long as…”
Ji Ming was very serious, “That may be your sister! Would you use those means against Yao Yao? She would feel very cold if she found out! Stop talking, I’ll give the five million!”
Ji Hui had nothing to say, but he felt it was ridiculous in his heart. Even if the paternity test really matched, how could they compare that person, who had already been raised badly by others, with Yao Yao?
Ji Yi also thought the same in his heart. He would rather not have such a sister!
Ji Hui returned to the quiet room and said to the Taoist master, “Old Taoist, five million, my Ji family can afford it. As a Taoist temple that has raised Jingjing for more than ten years, it is worth it.”
Ji Hui paused, and stared fiercely at the Taoist master, “But I have to say, Ji family’s money is not easy to extort. Fifty thousand, the little nun accompanies us on a trip; five million, the little nun has nothing to do with you anymore. Old Taoist, you have to think it over. If you agree, our family will not give you any room to regret.”
The Taoist master smiled slightly, “Two esteemed believers, five million.”
