The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity-Chapter 435 - 433: Bringing My Wife Back to My Hometown

Nan Xian didn’t perform any singing but played several pieces on the ancient guqin instrument. Most of the audience on site were fans of the traditional style and were amazed as they listened to the flowing melodies of the guqin.

Shenyu Company promoted the live broadcast online, attracting the attention of many people.

[Although I don’t understand it, it feels so pleasant to hear, like it purifies the soul.]

[I feel the same, and also, the performer is so handsome.]

[He looks like someone who has stepped out of an ancient painting; he has a very unique aura.]

Besides his guqin playing skill, netizens talked most about Nan Xian’s appearance.

His current body bore a seven-parts resemblance to Nan Xian’s original form, with an outstanding demeanor that even surpassed the current male celebrities.

After this performance, Nan Xian became slightly famous.

Following his minor surge in popularity, Su Xiaotong arranged quite a bit of work for him, allowing him to earn money.

Additionally, since he lived far away, it wasn’t very convenient for him to visit Qin Zhao, and the two hadn’t met in a long time.

Soon, spring arrived, and it was almost time for the Qingming festival.

Qin Zhao and Chu Yan moved to a new home, a high-end apartment owned by Chu Yan.

The decoration there was quite nice, with many rooms.

After moving, the two of them packed their luggage to take a trip to Hanbei.

Chu Yan’s hometown was in Hanbei, and his mother was there.

With the Qingming festival just around the corner, he naturally wanted to take his wife to pay homage.

When taking the plane, Chu Yan held Qin Zhao’s hand tightly.

During the journey, he was especially silent and didn’t speak much.

"Have I never told you about my family’s situation?" asked Chu Yan, gazing at the familiar landscape after disembarking the plane.

Qin Zhao shook his head, "You can tell me now."

"I am Lu Tingming’s son, but he abandoned my mother. After Lu Tingming was accepted into university, to stay and develop in Imperial City, he married a daughter of the Xu Family, who is Lu Zhiheng’s mother."

He led Qin Zhao down the concrete road toward the village.

"When I was young, there was no concrete road here, just dirt paths. If it rained, you’d be covered in mud just from walking out the door.

Lu Tingming’s greatest wish in life was to leave these mountains. Back then, the family was very poor, and it was only with my mother’s help that they could afford to send one student to university."

Lu Tingming had married my mother before he went to university.

As graduation approached and my mother was pregnant, instead of good news, a divorce settlement arrived.

The divorce process was difficult because my mother had invested so much, and Lu Tingming’s parents didn’t agree with the separation.

Chu Yan slowly recounted how he grew up under his mother’s care, how his father never once looked at him, and wasn’t even willing to return home to see his own parents.

Because his grandparents had always supported his mother.

After they passed away, his mother was left alone to raise him.

But the mother who toiled her whole life was increasingly unwell.

By the time Chu Yan was accepted into a key high school in the province, she could no longer afford his education.

With no choice left, his mother took Chu Yan to Imperial City, hoping that Lu Tingming would take care of this son, after all, he was his own flesh and blood. As for herself, she didn’t care anymore.

"I remember that day in Imperial City, the weather was a bit overcast.

We stood at the grand gate of the Lu Family’s mansion feeling lost, having never seen such a luxurious and imposing building before.

Even a mere servant at the Lu family seemed more respectable than us.

In the end, we didn’t even get to see Lu Tingming. The gatekeeper humiliated us and chased us away."

At this point, Chu Yan’s even tone seemed to fluctuate slightly.

"Back then, I was young and had a quick temper. Driven by anger, I collected quite a bit of evidence and went to Imperial City’s courthouse to sue Lu Tingming for bigamy.

He just happened to be running for an important position when the news broke, and a lot of people came to interview me."

Chu Yan smiled, "That’s when he remembered he had a son like me."

Hearing this, Qin Zhao already understood why his relationship with the people from the Lu Family was so poor.

Although Lu Tingming needed him for tasks, his attitude towards him was nothing like that of a father to his own son.

They were all stumbling blocks on his path to promotion, but as Chu Yan grew older and became useful to Lu Tingming, that’s when he kept Chu Yan by his side.

"I didn’t expect to be pitiable in this life too."

Qin Zhao murmured softly, remembering that Chu Yan’s past life was not a very good one either.

If he had had a good background, he probably wouldn’t have become an Evil Cultivator.

At that thought, she quickly stopped herself.

Qin Zhao didn’t really want to remember the things from her past life, as they were not pleasant memories.

While talking, the two entered a small village nestled in the mountains.

The village was well developed, with many new houses and newly paved roads.

Chu Yan made donations to his hometown every year, so the area had seen much improvement.

"There aren’t many old houses left here, but my mother’s and my old home still exists; I couldn’t bear to renovate it. There are so many memories of my mother there.

We can stay a few more days here, the environment is quite nice, suitable for retirement."

Chu Yan led Qin Zhao to the old house.

The exterior looked somewhat weathered, and the interior decorations had kept the original style, but modern amenities like water, electricity, and central heating had been installed, along with some modern appliances, making everyday living more than comfortable.

Chu Yan pondered for a moment, then turned to Qin Zhao, "Will you be comfortable living here? If it’s not to your liking, we don’t have to stay here; we can move into one of those new villas we passed earlier."

"What’s wrong with this? We’ve lived in worse houses in the mountains before."

Although Qin Zhao could be picky at times, this place was indeed not bad.

The old wooden furniture had a real sense of history, and both the bathroom and kitchen had been modernized, with running water and internet fully functioning.

"I’ll start with some cleaning up."

Chu Yan set the luggage aside and cleaned up the table and chairs for Qin Zhao to sit and rest.

During the cleaning, Qin Zhao wandered around the courtyard.

Such a rural yard seemed perfect for growing vegetables.

The house was at the foot of the mountain, a bit of a distance from those newly built villas.

Nearby were other old houses, but not many were lived in, as the villagers had moved to the area with new houses.

Qin Zhao’s gaze landed on the nearby mountain.

The summit was reaching into the clouds, encircled by a thick mist of a pale grey color.

She thought she saw a blood-red light shining intermittently within the mist.

"What’s that?"

Qin Zhao furrowed her brow and looked intently.

The blood-red light she’d seen moments ago had vanished as if she’d been mistaken. freёwebnoѵel.com

"Chu Yan, there’s something off about the mountain over there."

He just happened to walk out of the house, and Qin Zhao, grabbing the apron he wore, pulled him over to her.

"Look at that mist around the mountain top; doesn’t it look strange?"

"Hmm?"

Chu Yan followed the direction of Qin Zhao’s finger but saw nothing amiss.

"I can’t tell," he frowned, "but my mother’s grave is on that mountain. There won’t be an issue, will there?"

He certainly did not wish for anything to disturb his mother’s peace, even after death.
