The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 7274 - 7275

Most pilgrims visiting Qixia Temple head straight to the Main Hall and the Vairocana Hall upon arrival. There, they burn incense and bow in worship before moving on to other halls to continue their prayers.

Xiao Churan and Sun Mengmeng arrived together. Unsure of which direction to take, Xiao Churan hesitated, but Sun Mengmeng seemed to have a plan. She pointed confidently toward a side passage near the main hall and said mysteriously, “Boss Xiao, since we’re here to seek opportunities, we can’t follow the crowd. The real chances are only found by a few!”

Xiao Churan shook her head and laughed. “Alright, since you’re taking the lead, you must have more experience than I do. I’ll follow your lead.”

Sun Mengmeng nodded eagerly, took Xiao Churan by the arm, and led her deeper into the temple.

After navigating several winding paths, they reached the entrance of Wuliang Hall. The sign indicating that the hall was closed had been removed by the monks. Pointing to the hall, Sun Mengmeng said, “Boss Xiao, let’s try our luck here first.”

Xiao Churan hesitated. “Mengmeng, there are so many halls in Qixia Temple. We can’t possibly try them all one by one, can we?”

Sun Mengmeng smiled. “Let’s just give this one a shot. Who knows, we might get lucky right away.”

Xiao Churan sighed and agreed. “Alright, we’ll go with your plan. But we have to be back by 8:30 at the latest—we need to be at work by 9.”

“Got it!” Sun Mengmeng replied with a confident fist pump. “Don’t worry, Boss Xiao. We’ll have plenty of time!”

As they cautiously approached the front of Wuliang Hall, Xiao Churan said nervously, “There were monks stationed at the entrances of the other halls, but there’s no one here. Could this place be abandoned? It might be empty inside.”

Sun Mengmeng reassured her. “Even if there’s someone inside, we can still take a look. This is a temple—the gods are watching over us. Don’t worry.”

With that, she stepped inside first.

Xiao Churan had no choice but to follow her.

Wuliang Hall appeared rather dilapidated. There were no incense burners or offering tripods left for worshippers—it truly looked abandoned.

However, Sun Mengmeng already knew that Master Jingqing was currently inside the hall. She entered first, then turned and gently pulled Xiao Churan along.

Once inside, Sun Mengmeng called out, “Excuse me, is anyone here?”

Seeing the empty hall, Xiao Churan muttered, “How could there be anyone here? It’s obviously deserted.”

Then, nervously, she whispered, “This place feels kind of eerie… maybe we should go back outside.”

Before Sun Mengmeng could respond, a voice from the back of the hall spoke slowly: “Amitabha. How did you two donors find your way here?”

Startled, Xiao Churan looked closely and saw a middle-aged monk who appeared quite youthful stepping out from the rear of the hall.

She had done her research before coming—reading online reports and looking at photos of Master Jingqing performing rituals—so she recognized him instantly.

Sun Mengmeng exclaimed with surprise, “Oh, it really is Master Jingqing! Hello, Master! We came to ask you for a talisman!”

Master Jingqing gave a slight nod and replied calmly, “Amitabha. It seems fate has brought you here. Since you seek talismans, may I ask: for whom do you request them?”

Sun Mengmeng answered, “I’d like to ask for one for my parents.”

After she finished, Xiao Churan added, “I’m also a parent—and I have a husband.”

Jing Qing nodded slightly and asked, “Which of the two donors would like to go first? The amulet I make requires the name of the person to be blessed, along with their date of birth.”

Sun Mengmeng quickly said, “Mr. Xiao, you go first!”

Xiao Churan immediately waved her hand and replied, “No, no, you go first. After all, you were the one who suggested this.”

“Oh, it’s fine.” Sun Mengmeng smiled, waved her hands, and said, “I’ll wait outside. Mr. Xiao, you go ahead.”

Without waiting for a response, she turned and walked out.

Xiao Churan felt a bit nervous. Being alone in the hall with a monk gave her an odd sense of unease.

However, Jing Qing’s kind expression was reassuring, so she calmed her breath and said, “Master, I know the birth dates of my parents and husband, but not their exact birth times, so I’m not sure how to convert the dates.”

“That’s alright,” Master Jing Qing said with a gentle smile. “Just tell me their names and approximate birth dates—I can give a general estimate.”

Xiao Churan nodded and asked, “Who should I start with?”

Jing Qing replied, “Begin with your parents, then your husband.”

“Okay.”

Xiao Churan then gave Master Jing Qing her parents’ names and birth dates, one by one.

Jing Qing calculated briefly using his fingers, then smiled and said, “Although their birth charts show a few ups and downs, overall, they point to wealth and longevity.”

“Really?” Xiao Churan asked, pleasantly surprised. To be wealthy and live a long life—wasn’t that what everyone hoped for? If what Master Jing Qing said was true, then she had nothing to worry about for her parents.

Jing Qing was not speaking casually.

Both Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan had endured many hardships in the first half of their lives, but ever since charlie broke free from his fate of obscurity, their fortunes had undergone a dramatic transformation.

Moreover, charlie possessed powerful abilities and various elixirs capable of extending life, so it was only natural that he could ensure Xiao Churan’s parents would enjoy longevity.

Xiao Churan quickly said, “Then Master, please take a look at my husband’s fate as well!”

Jing Qing let out a soft breath and smiled. “Please tell me your husband’s name and date of birth.”

Xiao Churan promptly provided charlie’s information.

Jing Qing closed his eyes and began calculating with his fingers. Gradually, his brows furrowed.

Seeing this, Xiao Churan became nervous and asked, “Master… is there something wrong with my husband’s birth date?”

Jing Qing opened his eyes and looked at her. Instead of answering directly, he asked, “Donor, is there anything about your husband that you find puzzling or have always doubted?”

Xiao Churan blinked in surprise. “Master, what do you mean by that?”

Jing Qing replied seriously, “Exactly what I said. In all the time you’ve been with your husband, have you ever noticed anything about him that you couldn’t quite understand or have always questioned?”

Xiao Churan hesitated. There were, in fact, many things she had questioned about charlie.

But often, as unbelievable as they seemed, there was always a seemingly logical explanation—like how she could never quite grasp how her husband, who spent the first three years of their marriage doing little more than buying groceries, cooking, and doing laundry, had suddenly become a Feng Shui master admired by Jinling’s elite.
