Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 205

The first time Gu Jialing saw Su Miaomiao’s gold ring, he went crazy in the chat group.

Before Xie Jingyuan appeared, Xu Shou was annoyed by Gu Jialing’s messages: Shut up.

It was obviously just words, but the words Gu Jialing sent seemed to have their own sound effects.

Gu Jialing sent him a screenshot of Su Miaomiao’s ring: Does this ring look familiar to you?

Of course Xu Shou was familiar with it. It was the Taoist master’s ring that never left his finger in his previous life. There was once a wealthy gentry who wanted to spend a lot of money to buy the ring, but the Taoist master refused.

Gu Jialing: The Taoist master gave the ring to her, so doesn’t that mean that he wants her to be the temple master?

Although Qingxu Temple did not exist in that world, in the hearts of the group of four, it always had a special and extraordinary meaning.

Xu Shou: That’s the Taoist master’s ring, and he has the right to give it to anyone.

Xie Jingyuan finally said: It isn’t the temple master’s ring, it is the master’s wife’s ring, and the runes are somewhat different.

Gu Jialing didn’t understand those complicated Taoist runes. After all, Xu Shou had read the scriptures with Xie Jingyuan for two or three years. Protecting the body from evil was also a basic spell. After studying the picture carefully for a while, the difference was revealed.

Of course Gu Jialing couldn’t snatch Su Miaomiao’s ring, but he was still not happy: Taoist Master, you’re so partial, why didn’t you give us amulets?

Xie Jingyuan silently sent a picture.

There were two boxes of silver rings, one box had only two, and the other box had hundreds of them. Those silver rings did not have the “sword” of Qingxu Temple, but they were all engraved with scriptures.

“Your ones are amulets, which can protect you in case of danger.”

“The other rings will be given to the guests as souvenirs at the wedding next year, engraved with disaster avoidance talismans.”

The so-called disaster avoidance was to use the sixth sense to change some people’s decisions before a disaster that may endanger their life. There was no external interference, but it could subtly resolve the danger. For example, if a person were to be hit by a speeding car, with the disaster avoidance amulet, the person would hesitate to cross the road. 

Xie Jingyuan wanted to give some special care to his relatives and friends, but he could not reveal that his cultivation was not in line with that world, so that was all he could do.

The disaster-avoiding talisman of each ring could only be activated three times, except for the close relatives who he would regularly inject new spiritual power to, he decided not to interfere with others too much.

Life and death were fate, and too much interference may not be a good thing.

Xu Shou: The Taoist master is really thoughtful.

Gu Jialing: Forget about other rings, why are our rings silver? They don’t even have a sword engraved on them.

Xu Shou: You want a gold ring and you also want the emblem of Qingxu Temple? Do you want to be the master of the temple?

Gu Jialing: “…”

–

In mid-September, Su Miaomiao returned to China and went straight to Beijing.

It was the weekend, and it was a rare free time for Tang Shiwei. So she called Su Mingan, and the couple went to Beijing by high-speed train.

Xie Jingyuan drove, and brought Su Miaomiao to the high-speed railway station to pick them up.

As soon as she got in the car, Tang Shiwei couldn’t wait to hold her daughter’s hand and observe the ring closely.

Su Mingan was sitting in the co-pilot seat, looking at Xie Jingyuan with unconcealed distaste, “This is the engagement ring you prepared for Miaomiao?”

Wasn’t it worth tens of billions? Such an important ring didn’t even have a single diamond?

As the prospective father-in-law, Su Mingan was very dissatisfied.

Xie Jingyuan explained, “This ring has a special meaning, but the wedding ring will be more in line with the public’s aesthetics.”

That was very euphemistic. What it really meant was that the price of the wedding ring would be higher, and it would show how much he attached importance to Su Miaomiao from a secular perspective.

Tang Shiwei already knew that Xie Jingyuan had given her daughter a bunch of jewels, and giving such an engagement ring had nothing to do with money at all.

“Jing Yuan, is this amulet really effective?” Tang Shiwei was more concerned about that.

Su Miaomiao answered for him, “Of course, the Taoist master does not lie.”

Xie Jingyuan didn’t want to speak too bluntly, and said, “Believe in the spirit.”

With that said, Xie Jingyuan took out the ring gift box that he had prepared earlier, and handed it to Tang Shiwei, “This is for uncle and aunt, and other relatives and friends. I will give it to them when I have a chance in the future.”

Tang Shiwei happily took the gift box, opened it, and found a pair of silver rings inside, the smaller one was just right for her.

“So lovely,” Tang Shiwei touched the circle of runes and said with a smile.

Su Mingan interjected, “The diamond ring I gave you looks good, right?”

“You just know how to compete.”

“His goodness is all feudal superstition!”

“If you talk nonsense again, go back home!”

Xie Jingyuan just raised the corners of his lips slightly, and didn’t care about his father-in-law’s criticism.

When they arrived at the villa, Xie Jingyuan entertained the couple with tea and water.

Su Mingan made an excuse that he didn’t like drinking tea, so he went to the fourth floor alone to see how his daughter’s room was decorated.

Xie Jingyuan stayed in the hall to entertain Tang Shiwei with his usual expression, and Su Miaomiao was also sitting there.

When Su Mingan arrived on the fourth floor, he went to his daughter’s room first, and found that the room was clean but full of life, and there was a family photo on the bedside table.

After which, Su Mingan thought for a while, then went downstairs and said, “Jing Yuan, I’ll use your washroom.”

“You can do whatever you want.”

With his permission, Su Mingan went in with peace of mind.

He first looked at Xie Jingyuan’s bed. The bed was made neatly, with a pillow in the middle.
