Jiang Yanxu seemed to have been touched by his words and lowered his eyes and said, "I am an orphan. My master raised me since I was a child. Naturally, I must inherit his legacy."

Qiao Rui scratched his head, his brows twitched slightly, and a trace of guilt flashed across his face.

He Ruixue felt that if he woke up after a long time, he would probably slap herself twice.

"I misunderstood you. From now on, you should stick to science and not believe in those superstitious things. You've been educated, right?"

"Well, I went to college."

Even He Ruixue looked at him in surprise. "You went to college, why didn't you tell me before?"

"You didn't ask."

Jiang Yanxu didn't think this was anything to be proud of. "I told you I traveled a lot, including studying abroad for a while, studying philosophy.

But their theories are just that, and many of their concepts are not as mature as those proposed by Laozi and Zhuangzi thousands of years ago. However, they have a unique way of summarizing things, which can quite fool laymen.

He learned things from the West but was not completely convinced of them. He simply absorbed more different theories, used them to verify each other, and enhanced his understanding of Taoist scriptures.

He Ruixue curled the corners of his mouth. He was superstitious and had experience studying abroad, so he had all the buffs. It was really not easy for him not to be demoted in the past few years.

Jiang Yanxu must be aware of this himself, which is why he is so secretive and does not disclose his academic qualifications.

Qiao Rui was confused by him. In his opinion, an advanced person who had studied abroad had nothing to do with a Taoist priest. He could only sigh that there were many strange things in the world.

After the sparring, both of them were sweating a lot, and He Xiasheng quickly handed him a towel.

Seeing that he was being taken care of so attentively, Jiang Yanxu looked at He Ruixue thoughtfully, but she glared back at him. He could only silently pour himself a cup of tea.

When they heard that he was a college student and had studied abroad, his family couldn't help but put a filter on him.

No matter what subject they study, people with high academic qualifications are always respected.

Their attitude towards him became more friendly, and after several conversations, they found that he was a young man who was very insightful.

Zhao Meiya was initially dissatisfied, but now she began to praise him, "Our local Taoist priests are really good at preaching. Xiao Jiang's words are pleasant to the ear. What's wrong with me cursing? That's not called creating bad karma. They deserve it. This is my fate."

He Dagen also nodded quickly. "I was wondering why I couldn't get motivated to work. It turns out I've offended some villain. He's been saying that Wang Laoshuan wasn't working hard enough and was playing tricks on me. I'll team up with someone else and let him work on his own."

He Ruixue helplessly watched as this big liar was about to lure her entire family into the cult, and she had no choice but to stop.

"Mom and Dad, you didn't believe in it before. When I was born, you were even deceived by someone selling mirrors and talismans."

"That's because we haven't found a true master. There's a difference between a professional doctor and the guy selling plasters on the overpass. Xiao Jiang's master is truly skilled, otherwise why would those wealthy families be vying to hire him? They're not stupid."

Wang Taozhi also nodded quickly. "Yes, Xiao Jiang, is the story about Feng Shui harming people true? Let's go to my house and see if there's anything that can be changed. My grandson has just been born, and I don't want anything to hinder him."

Even He Xiasheng, who clamored to believe in science, was moved. "Xiao Jiang, can you help me calculate whether Rui Ge and I can be together in our next life? Do you have any amulets or anything like that? Give me some. Every time he goes on a mission, I'm so worried that I can't even sleep well."

"Sister, we who practice Taoism don't care about the afterlife. It's enough to cherish the fate of this life.

Rather than trusting the amulet, it's better to trust him as a person. If you have trouble sleeping, I have a few sleeping sachets that are quite effective."

He would start something and give one to each of the people older than him.

As the saying goes, "The more gifts you give, the less blame you will get." He has taken a lot of good things, and his family has already included him in the category of one of their own family members. They are much warmer to each other.

Jiang Yanxu was very sensible. He was afraid that his bad luck would affect He Ruixue's family, so he left after lunch on the pretext of not disturbing their family reunion.

"So early? If you have nothing to do, then stay a little longer. We are family all the time, so why bother disturbing us?"

The old lady was more and more satisfied with her son-in-law, especially when she learned that they would come to live here after they got married. Apart from having more people to take care of Dongbao, everything else would be the same as now. It was a perfect opportunity.

Such a suitable partner would be hard to find even with a lantern.

Dongbao was indeed well-planned and had already decided on the buyer when buying the house.

After we get married, the house will belong to both of us, and we can save some money on buying a house. It’s a great deal, as the money belongs to no one else!

"No, Auntie, I really don't have anything prepared today. How about this, when I have some free time, I'll take you around the capital?"

"Oh, you're so thoughtful. It's enough for you and Dongbao to come and see us a few more times. There's no need to go so far.

"Dongbao said she doesn't want to hold a wedding banquet at home because she thinks it's too ordinary. She wants us to get married in front of the Chairman as witness. So I plan to take the oath at Tiananmen Square and take photos. Isn't that much more solemn than taking the oath in front of the portrait at home?"

"Dongbao, is that what you mean? That's a good idea. You two young people should go out more and see the world. We are old bones, so forget it. It would cost a lot of money."

"I just need to go while I can so I won't regret it later. Besides, how can Ruixue's wedding be without her family as witnesses? Do my uncle and aunt want to disappoint her?"

Zhao Meiya was somewhat persuaded, and He Xiaojie was even more eager to try, "Uncle, can I go?"

Jiang Yanxu blushed at his blunt address, "Of course, I can go home whenever I want. It's more lively with more people."

"That won't work. Are you still going to work? Then it'll just be your dad, Xiaotuan, and Xiaojie going. Taozhi, are you coming?"

Wang Taozhi hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it. I have to help Lu Lan take care of the children. Let's wait for the next chance. Remember to take more photos and bring them back."

Jiang Yanxu successfully diverted everyone's attention, said a few simple words and left.

He Ruixue went to see him off. Seeing him quickly walk from the bustle into the silence, he felt a little distressed at his loneliness. "You left just like that. Actually, it wouldn't have been a big deal if you stayed a little longer..."

"Don't force it. It's enough for me to be with you."

To him, other people are just passers-by, emotional accessories generated by He Ruixue.

So he will respect and try to fit in, but he will not develop too much emotion, otherwise it will only hurt others and himself.

He Ruixue also understood, which made her feel even more sad. "Then I'll come find you tomorrow?"

"Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"

"Then let's wait until my second sister comes back. Besides my business trip next week, I also have to deal with foreign manufacturers... I don't know if the new team leader is easy to talk to. What if he doesn't let me take leave? Wouldn't all my previously saved vacation time be wasted? I also want to spend a few days in the mountains with you..."

He Ruixue put her arms around his waist and talked about her troubles. Jiang Yanxu hugged her back, knowing that what she needed was not persuasion, and silently gave her support.
