When they reached Zhong Family Mansion, Zhong Jishi accompanied them, but he had to stay in the village to handle affairs on the way back, so he arranged for servants from his home to send Qin Liuxi and the others back.
Qin Liuxi didn't mind, as long as she got her reward. There she was, fondling the three-legged golden toad statue that occupied almost half of the carriage, almost drooling.
Teng Zhao held back but eventually couldn't resist asking, "Do you plan to melt this thing into gold ingots or into golden liquid to pour over the Grandmaster's body?"
The Grandmaster chuckled, "This child understands me, more likable than his own master."
Qin Liuxi said, "Melt it? Why? We just built a new hall, it's perfect to set up an altar there. I'll re-consecrate this golden toad and place it there to attract believers' incense offerings, letting everyone prosper."
Grandmaster: I'm speechless!
Teng Zhao: "Are you sure you're not just trying to make our temple wealthy?"
