Chapter 1150: Chapter 1150: Departure
Xia Xin was in the side hall making Rebirth Plaques with Jiangli when he received a call from Xun Tianhai.
This was part of their newly expanded business; there are quite a few people now asking them to make Rebirth Plaques for deceased relatives, hoping their loved ones can have a good life in the other world.
For this reason, Xia Xin and Jiangli were also discussing that after the competition matters settle, they would renovate another side hall, preparing it as a dedicated placement spot for Rebirth Plaques.
Listening to Xun Tianhai’s phone call, Xia Xin set aside the tung oil brush in his hand and looked at Jiangli, whispering to him about Xun Tianhai’s inquiries.
Jiangli held a calligraphy brush, writing the last stroke of a name on the plaque, then said, “We’ll go over tomorrow. It’s just a trip. Why the hurry? Isn’t there still a few days left?”
Xia Xin couldn’t say this directly to Xun Tianhai, so he just said the first half of the sentence, “We’ll go over tomorrow, Director Xun.”
Xun Tianhai, still somewhat uneasy, asked to confirm, “What time tomorrow? So I can pick you up.”
Xia Xin looked at Jiangli again.
Jiangli placed the finished plaque on the shelf, “Tomorrow evening then.”
Xia Xin repeated the exact words.
Having an exact time put Xun Tianhai’s mind at ease, and he repeatedly instructed Xia Xin to send him the flight details once they booked the tickets, so he could be there to pick them up immediately.
Xia Xin agreed, and only then did they hang up the phone.
Putting down the phone, Xia Xin asked Jiangli, “Our ancestor, should I book the flight for tomorrow afternoon?”
“Yes,” Jiangli nodded, and continued to make the next Rebirth Plaque.
Xia Xin was only responsible for applying tung oil to the plaques; his work was almost done, so he took his phone to book the tickets.
There was a flight at one in the afternoon; Xia Xin confirmed with Jiangli and went ahead to book it.
After booking the tickets, Xia Xin sent the flight information to Xun Tianhai.
Upon receiving the message, Xun Tianhai could finally rest easy.
He had just put down his phone when he turned and saw Master Qu Lin walking out of the association building.
It seemed as if he was looking for him, as upon seeing him, he headed straight over.
Seeing him approaching, Xun Tianhai greeted first, “President.”
Qu Lin’s demeanor was gentle, as always, still the fair and just president in Xun Tianhai’s memory.
He asked, “By the way, has there been any news from Jiaoyang Temple lately? Seems they haven’t been seen around.”
Xun Tianhai was about to speak but recalled Bai Changfeng’s words.
Bai Changfeng had advised him to be cautious of President Qu Lin, so he should indeed keep an eye out.
However, confirming attendance for this matter didn’t seem particularly important.
After some thought, Xun Tianhai spoke, “The Abbot is not in a rush; isn’t there still a few days before the competition? So they said they’d come tomorrow afternoon.”
President Qu Lin confirmed, “Coming tomorrow afternoon?”
Xun Tianhai nodded, “Yes, the 1:30 PM flight tomorrow afternoon.”
President Qu Lin said, “Alright, I’ll pick them up then.”
Xun Tianhai, hearing this, instinctively replied, “There’s no need to trouble the President; I’ve already spoken with the Abbot and decided that I’ll go to pick them up.”
President Qu Lin looked at Xun Tianhai but didn’t object, “That’s fine; you all know each other, which makes interactions easier. At that time, arrange for them to stay at Jingtian Hotel; they can stay with the Xuanmen family members and start getting acquainted.”
This… should be no problem, right?
Xun Tianhai mentally reviewed the Xuanmen family attendees of this competition and found nothing particularly outstanding or unique in their way of dealing with matters.
Getting along with the Abbot should pose no issue.
With this in mind, Xun Tianhai finally agreed.
