Chen Xiao was a Feng Shui master before his death. He changed his fate to save his master, but died of old age.
When he opened his eyes, he came to a world of immortal cultivation where there...
Chen Xiao came back so suddenly that Chen Changgen and his family were so happy that they almost fainted.
Chen Xiao followed his uncle's family into the living room. This place was very different from when Chen Xiao lived here, with many more daily necessities. The room was full of furniture and ornaments, but there was order in the chaos, making the overall atmosphere more cozy.
"Silly boy, come and sit down, come and sit down!" Zheng wiped the clean seat again and again, and greeted him.
Chen Changgen patted her hard and said seriously, "You can't call me silly kid anymore. You have to call me Master Chen. Do you understand?"
He still clearly remembered the sensation caused when Du Rong visited his home as a cultivator. He would never forget the envious looks, respect, and conveniences he received after moving to the county town when he learned that his nephew was actually a cultivator.
Putting these aside, Chen Changgen, with his increased knowledge over the years, knew that the class between their family and Chen Xiao was already different, and it was no longer suitable for them to get along as before.
"Oh, yes, that's right." Zheng was stunned at first, then reacted and said hesitantly.
Chen Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be so distant. We are uncle and nephew, not strangers."
Chen Changgen, an honest man, was particularly stubborn. He said, "No. Now you are an immortal master. An immortal master has his own dignity. How can you let people call you by your nickname casually?"
Chen Xiao didn't insist, and said, "Then uncle, just call me by my full name."
Chen Xiao was also very persistent. Chen Changgen didn't dare to go against him and called Chen Xiao's name uncomfortably.
Although it seems a bit strange, it is the only name that both parties can accept after mutual compromise.
Chen Xiao introduced Xi Yunting to his uncle's family. Just like what he said to Aunt Huang, he had no intention of hiding their relationship.
My uncle's family was naturally very surprised. They found it difficult to accept the unusual relationship between the two and couldn't help showing strange expressions.
He was surprised and astonished, but because of Chen Xiao's high status now, he didn't dare to say anything.
Xi Yunting's expression became even more serious. He originally looked very majestic, and now it made people dare not even breathe.
Chen Xiao knew that Xi Yunting was worried about him. He was worried about their relationship and that it would make Chen Xiao embarrassed in front of his relatives. After all, in the mortal world, the acceptance of same-sex couples was far less than that in the world of immortal cultivation.
Perhaps Xi Yunting thought that since he would only stay for a short time, it didn't matter whether he told the people here or not, but Chen Xiao didn't want to let him down.
The room was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard. Chen Xiao smiled and asked calmly, "Where are the others at home?"
He acted calmly, and Chen Changgen gradually returned to normal, and the atmosphere in the living room became lively again.
He told Chen Xiao that Sanshuan was the shopkeeper of a store and Sibao was learning accounting in a private school and would get a job as an accountant after graduation.
After arriving in the county town, Sanshuan finally got married and had his first child last year. Sanshuan's wife was not at home, and he happened to be visiting her parents with his one-year-old child.
As he talked about family matters, Chen Changgen suddenly felt relieved.
The good life their family has today is all brought to them by Chen Xiao. He wouldn’t even dare to think about it ten years ago, so what else could he ask for?
Even if Silly Boy's father were still alive, after seeing his son become an immortal master, he would no longer think of letting him get married and have children like an ordinary person.
So, what does it matter if he likes a male immortal master?
After coming to terms with this, Chen Changgen's words and actions became more natural. He even mustered up the courage to give Xi Yunting a kind look - but he was frightened by the other party's aura and failed.
Chen Changgen felt a little depressed. He didn't want to be so cowardly, but his nephew's fiancé was too scary.
After talking about everyone at home who was not there, Chen Xiao smiled and waved to Ershun who was standing quietly beside him: "Ershun, why don't you say anything?"
Ershun has grown into a beautiful young lady with a slim figure and graceful temperament. She is 24 years old this year, which is the most prime period in a woman's life.
Ershun moved his lips, thought for a moment, and then called Chen Xiao "Brother Xiao".
This title was very new to Chen Xiao. He smiled and said to Chen Changgen and Zheng: "After all, you are a grown-up girl now. You have become so quiet and shy."
Chen Changgen and Zheng also laughed, but their smiles were only superficial. Even Chen Xiao could see the sadness hidden in their eyes.
After a little thought, Chen Xiao knew why the old couple were worried.
At the age of 24, she was still a child in the eyes of most parents in her previous life, but in this world, she was a serious old girl.
The Chen family does not favor boys over girls. On the contrary, they love Ershun, their only daughter, very much and do not mind supporting her for the rest of her life.
But when they died, what would Ershun do? After all, her nephew was a generation away from her, and it was not as good as having a lifelong support for her. But Ershun was stubborn and stubborn. It could be seen from the fact that she still lived at home that she did not want to get married.
Chen Xiao didn't want to cause trouble for the old couple at this time, so he mentioned another thing: "It's too late today. Tomorrow morning, uncle, come with me to the government office. I will give you the title deed of this house."
Chen Changgen was stunned, then quickly waved his hand to refuse: "No way! This is your house. It is a great favor for us to live here. How can you still ask for your house? You can't do that!"
Chen Changgen was also anxious, and even the word "favor" came out of his mouth.
Chen Xiao smiled bitterly and patiently persuaded Chen Changgen: "I have already entered the Tao, and I will come back less and less in the future. There is no use for me to keep this house, so why not give it to you."
This house in the county town was really useless to him. The layout and room specifications were too small and impractical for him and Xi Yunting.
Chen Changgen was persuaded by his words and wiped the sweat from his palms on his pants hesitantly: "But it's not easy for you to get this house for free. Otherwise, Hanwa, Chen Xiao, you tell us a price and we will buy it from you."
Chen Xiao originally wanted to say that the rent was just a drop in the bucket for him, but seeing Chen Changgen's uneasy look, he changed his words and mentioned a very low price.
Chen Changgen also knew that the price Chen Xiao mentioned was much lower than the market price. He felt embarrassed but relieved at the same time, and nodded with a flushed face.
Not long after, Sanshuan got off work and Sibao came back from the private school, and the house became more lively.
After talking to the two people, Chen Xiao stood up and was about to leave. Zheng hurriedly stopped him and did not let them leave.
Zheng looked at the living room which seemed a bit crowded, and could not bring herself to ask them to stay. She just kept saying, "Stay for dinner," "You and Ershun will get started, it will be done quickly," and "It won't waste any time."
Chen Xiao smiled and declined: "Really. Aunt, I am now a cultivator and no longer need the food of the human world. Don't bother with that. After dinner, go to bed. I will come over early tomorrow morning and we will go to the government office together."
This is of course a white lie.
If he really stayed for dinner, the whole family would definitely be busy and panic in order to entertain him.
When Zheng heard what Chen Xiao said, she suddenly realized, "Oh, that's right! Your Immortal Master doesn't eat." After that, she smiled on her wrinkled face, "Look at me, I even forgot this."
When saying goodbye to his uncle's family and Aunt Huang, Ershun stood aside and looked at him hesitantly. Chen Xiao thought she wanted to say something, but in the end Ershun just said, "See you tomorrow."
Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting walked toward the street, intending to find a relatively large inn to stay in. As a county town, the high-end inns were in relatively good condition.
Chen Xiao asked for a quiet yard and had dinner and hot water delivered to him.
Xi Yunting ate a few bites with him, put down his chopsticks, and took a sip of tea. Of course, they drank their own tea leaves, and the water for making tea was also brought by Chen Xiao.
"I think Er Shun may have something to tell me, but it's not convenient to say it in front of everyone." Chen Xiao said, he looked at Xi Yunting who was quietly sipping tea, "She must have recognized you, maybe she wants to ask about the kid from the Wu family."
Xi Yunting put down his teacup and said, "The last time I went back to Chongxuan Sect, I was busy practicing and had no time to care about other things, so I didn't know about the current situation of the outer sect disciple named Wu."
Chen Xiao sighed and nodded: "See you tomorrow. If she asks, I'll tell her this."
Early the next morning, Chen Xiao met up with Chen Changgen and went to the government office to handle the transfer of the house.
In order to avoid making his uncle's family feel uncomfortable, Chen Xiao was alone this time, and Xi Yunting did not accompany them.
The certificate handed over clearly showed his identity as a Jindan-stage immortal cultivator. The officials did not dare to delay and completed all the formalities at a rapid speed.
Holding the house deed that still smelled of ink, Chen Changgen still felt like he was dreaming. He had only been in the county town for two or three years, and now he had his own house.
Only after entering the county town did they realize how expensive the prices here were. If it weren't for Du Rong's arrangements, they wouldn't even be able to afford the rent.
After handing the heavy bag of money to Chen Xiao and watching him put it away, Chen Changgen felt relieved instantly.
After finishing the work, thinking about Er Shun's hesitant look, Chen Xiao planned to go back with Chen Changgen and find a chance to ask her.
Just as the two of them entered the yard, a chubby figure rushed out of the living room door, "Brother Chen! I missed you so much! You're finally back!"
When Chen Xiao took a look, it turned out to be Pang Hemu!
He looked at Pang Hemu in surprise and called out, "Boss!"
Pang Hemu ran to him and slammed on the brakes. Pang Hemu's festive face showed extreme joy, which made him want to smile. However, facing an old friend whose status had changed drastically, his inner awe and restraint made him try his best to control his expression and not to look silly.
"Hey, it's me. But don't call me the boss, I can't bear the responsibility!" Pang Hemu said with a grin.
Chen Xiao said jokingly: "Of course the boss can afford it. When I left, I directly received five years' wages from the boss."
Pang Hemu was so anxious that he almost stamped his feet, and sweat began to break out on his forehead: "Oh, Brother Chen said it was five years, and it has been almost ten years since we last met. This boss has long ceased to count!"
Seeing that he was really anxious, Chen Xiao stopped joking. He was still very happy to see this old friend who had helped him.
