Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: The Ancestors’ Brand-New Experience
 

The driver saw Jiangli get off the car obediently and breathed a sigh of relief, chuckling, “You girls are quite adorable.”

Xia Xin smiled without humor. “Yes, yes, she just likes to imitate the way people talk on TV. Don’t take it to heart…”

The driver nodded vaguely, and it was unclear whether he had taken Xia Xin’s words to heart.

Fortunately, on the rest of the journey, Jiangli didn’t do anything astonishing or say anything shocking, so the drive was relatively calm.

Soon, the car arrived at the gate of Boss Cao’s house.

Boss Cao lived in a large villa on the outskirts of town, and it was said that his son’s engagement party was to be held at home today.

When the taxi stopped in front of Boss Cao’s house, several people got out and saw many streamers hanging outside the villa, clearly signaling a celebration.

There were also several cars parked outside.

Seeing those cars, Boss Cao grimaced and said, “They should not have left yet! Perfect, let me get this straightened out!”

“Um, do we just go in like this?” Xia Xin, after paying the cab fare, came over and asked quietly.

Jiangli scanned the surroundings of the villa and said, “If we don’t enter through the door, what are we supposed to do? Climb through a window or fly in? Are things really this troublesome for you modern folks when entering a house?”

Xia Xin: “…That’s not what I meant.”

“Young man, please push me in,” Boss Cao demanded, staring at his front door, his anger steaming, paying no attention to their conversation.

Xia Xin came back to his senses and began pushing Boss Cao’s wheelchair.

Upon reaching the gate, Boss Cao pressed his fingerprint to unlock it, and the gate automatically swung open.

“Eh? How did the door open by itself?” Jiangli looked at Boss Cao in astonishment, glancing around. “You’re not a member of the Xuanmen, how did you make the door open automatically? It’s amazing.”

“No…” Xia Xin, exhausted, pointed to the fingerprint lock, “Ancestor, do you see this box? It’s a fingerprint lock. As long as a fingerprint is registered, just pressing it with a hand will open this automatic door.”

Jiangli tilted her head, “Automatic door?”

Xia Xin: “…Ah, right. This door is smart; once recognized, it will open automatically. It’s powered by electricity.”

“Electric?” Jiangli blinked.

Xia Xin: “…”

Don’t ask further; he’s dead inside.

“…Um…” Boss Cao’s gaze shifted between the two of them and he couldn’t help but interrupt, “Shall we, shall we go in first?”

“Yes, yes, let’s go in and then talk!” Xia Xin, as though grasping at a lifesaver, quickly pushed Boss Cao inside, really not in the mood to keep providing encyclopedic answers for Jiangli.

Jiangli pursed her lips and followed the two inside.

After entering the gate, Jiangli noticed another door to the house, which also had a small metal box similar to the one on the main gate.

With the previous experience in mind, Jiangli closely watched Boss Cao’s finger this time.

She saw Boss Cao raise his hand and press it against the box; immediately after a ding sound, the front door automatically opened.

Jiangli couldn’t help but blink; this really seemed like Mystic Technique!

Are modern people so fascinating?

“Someone’s opening the door, could it be dad coming back?!”

No sooner had the door opened than a slightly cheerful male voice came from inside the house.

Then, a man in his twenties walked briskly to the door.

Upon seeing Boss Cao, his face showed a hint of surprise and joy, but noticing Boss Cao’s leg, he immediately came over with concern, “Dad, how’s your leg?”

“Don’t call me dad!”
