Bai Jin’s master was Bai Yang’s great benefactor. He had to help his daughter take care of this kind-hearted Taoist temple master.

“Are you sure, Mr. Bai? Thank you for having such great confidence in the skills that I’ve obtained through religious practice!” Bai Jin thought to herself.

“Master has gone to heaven!” Bai Jin smiled awkwardly after she said that. “In the meantime, my skills from religious practice are not good enough to bring the master back.” The voice at the end of the sentence was softer.

Bai Yang thought, “Uh… the old man has already passed away? Pardon my rudeness.”

The Taoist temple was a relatively simple and crude courtyard house. The main hall was in the middle. The broken table was supported by a brick, and the surface of the table was polished. There was a golden Phoebe Wood tablet on the table. A small, old incense burner that had lost its paint was in front of the tablet.

“Is this your master?” Tao Ran respectfully took out a handful of high-quality incense sticks from her bag and carefully placed them into the incense burner.

The incense sticks in the incense burner were burning at a visible speed, and a pleasant scent of sandalwood wafted out of the main hall.

“This is not my master. I have just said that my master has already ascended to heaven.” Xiao Bai thought it was indeed true that family members would always have similar characters. Mr. Bai’s wife did not seem very smart either, and she forgot what she had already said. “This is the patriarch.”

Bai Jin looked respectfully at the incense burner, thinking that it was really urgent to develop the Taoist temple. The patriarch was rather ignorant that he was so eager to enjoy even a handful of ordinary incense sticks. After she left the mountain, she would definitely develop and promote Taiqing Palace and let the patriarch enjoy endless incense sticks!

Xiao Bai secretly swore, while Bai Yang secretly muttered in his heart. “My daughter’s intelligence was exchanged for her beauty! A wooden tablet had actually become the patriarch.” He had received materialistic education, and he had a good family background. He really could not understand it. Forget it, since his family was not short of money, so it was fine. He would just take care of his daughter.

After the incense stick finished burning, Bai Jin respectfully took the tablet down and put it into the gray cloth bag that she carried with her. After thinking for a moment, she wrapped the incense burner and put it into the cloth bag.

“Plonk!” A big bird flew into the hall and stopped on Bai Jin’s shoulder. Its colorful wings shook so much that Bai Yang and Tao Ran were dazzled and shocked.

“Don’t be afraid,” Bai Jin pacified the two of them. “This is Master Clueless.”

This… Bai Yang looked at the macaw that was as fat as a hen on his daughter’s shoulder, he asked while trembling, “M-my daughter, isn’t it illegal to keep this bird?” He did not want his daughter that he had just found, to be arrested for keeping a protected animal illegally.

“Squawk!” The big macaw flapped its wings in dissatisfaction and raised a cloud of feather dust, choking Bai Yang and causing him to cough.

“I have a pet license,” Xiao Bai quickly explained. “Master Clueless is not a bird, it is Master Clueless. Don’t mention that it is a bird in the future. It has a bad temper, so don’t simply question it.”

In front of the Bai couple that she had just met, Xiao Bai was embarrassed to say bad things about Master Clueless. It was said in Taoism that “I have no clue, but heaven rewards diligence.”

It meant that without a bright mind, one could only make up for it with diligence. One without a clue simply meant one was stupid. These words could not be said to Master Clueless, otherwise, it would turn into an angry bird at any time.

But Bai Yang was thinking if his daughter’s brain disease was incurable that she could not stop babbling?

It was fine for his daughter to refer a deer to a horse, but she even wanted them not to tell the truth. When he returned to Sea City, he must bring his daughter to do a CT scan of her brain urgently..
