441: Chapter 435 Sun Jinzhong’s Call 441: Chapter 435 Sun Jinzhong’s Call Capital City, West Mountain, within a large courtyard.
After leaving Four Seasons Tea House, Ye Qingqing didn’t stay in Liuyuan County.
She took a flight back to Capital City that same night.
What does utter despair taste like?
She didn’t know before, but now, she truly understood!
She had been married to Li Feng for over a decade, yet the two had never shared a bed.
It seemed unbelievable, but she had actually made it happen.
After all, she was the daughter of the Ye Family.
Li Feng didn’t dare to force her into anything she was unwilling to do.
In the eyes of ordinary people, no matter how powerful he was, the Ye Family that had elevated him could just as easily bring him down.
All Ye Qingqing needed to do was to keep true to her own heart.
What was her true heart?
She knew it well.
Whether it was in the past, now, or the future, her heart belonged only to Chen Hai and had no place for a second person.
After decades of painstaking waiting, when Chen Hai finally reappeared before her, she was the one who withdrew!
Only she knew how much it pained her heart to utter those words that hurt Chen Hai.
She didn’t hate anyone, only resented her twist of fate.
Since returning to the courtyard, she remained silent, numbly sitting in her room for a full day and night.
“Knock, knock, knock…” The sound of knocking came.
Dragging her weary body, Ye Qingqing opened the door.
The person outside was naturally Li Feng.
“Having gone to Liuyuan County and met Chen Hai, you should give up now!”
“Can’t you just live peacefully as Mrs.
Li and lead a good life?”
“By not eating or drinking and holed up in your room, you’re only hurting your own body.”
“I had someone make birds’ nest soup for you, it’s on the dining table.
Why don’t you eat some?”
Li Feng was full of helplessness as he spoke to the haggard Ye Qingqing with words of comfort.
Although their marriage was in name only, they had spent so many years together.
And if something happened to her, Li Feng would have trouble explaining it to the Ye Family.
“I’m sorry, Brother Feng!”
“You’ve always known, throughout these years, he has been the only one in my heart.”
“This time, I went to Liuyuan County and truly met him and indeed gave up.”
“But since my heart has died, it’s meaningless to continue living in this mortal world…”
With a face full of apology, Ye Qingqing bowed to Li Feng and spoke.
After saying this, she bit her lip, dragged her tired body, and staggered outside.
“Where are you going?” Li Feng was stunned and asked in confusion.
“Yongning Temple, to keep company with the ancient Buddha and green lanterns…”
Having already walked to the courtyard gate, Ye Qingqing turned back and dropped a few words, then continued walking out.
…
Xiangnan Province, Liuyuan County.
Chen Hai’s mood was also indescribable after meeting with Ye Qingqing once.
He naturally had no knowledge of what had happened on the Capital City side.
Besides spending time with his mother daily, he spent most of his time holed up in their other house, nursing his own wounds.
It took another two to three days for his mood to slightly improve.
Afterward, he started to busy himself with the issue of replacing his documents.
As long as facial verification didn’t cause any problems and he successfully passed, there were many ways to deal with his actual age and appearance not matching up.
For example, wearing older-fashioned clothes or doing something with his hair to appear to have more white strands.
If that still wasn’t enough, he could always find a professional makeup artist to make him look older.
It might be tiresome to go through this daily, but just doing it once for the document replacement wasn’t much of a hassle!
Chen Hai had also considered whether there was a way to improve his mother Jiang Meixian’s health.
Unfortunately, Tao Cultivators aren’t omnipotent.
He didn’t know much about the medical arts.
The spells he knew related to medicine were only Little Five Thunder Skill and Blade Sealing Technique.
Little Five Thunder Skill, apart from exorcism, mainly worked to dispel wind and remove dampness.
As for Blade Sealing Technique, it had miraculous effects on stopping bleeding from cuts and slashes.
Concerning his mother Jiang Meixian, given her age of well into her seventies, her dementia was something not even formal hospitals could cure, and Chen Hai was equally helpless.
As for her beginning Cultivation, that was even more out of the question.
After all, Cultivation is profound and mystical, something that can be understood but not conveyed in words.
His own Cultivation journey couldn’t possibly be replicated.
Throughout history, those who have achieved longevity through Cultivation have always been few and far between.
If the Tao Path to immortality and eternal youth were that easy, the world would have been in chaos long ago; it wouldn’t be as it is now!
The left-hand paths and other methods of Cultivation might be easier to start with.
But even if Chen Hai put a lot of effort into finding such Dharma Methods for his mother, setting aside whether she could start Cultivating with her dementia, even if she really could, it would definitely do her more harm than good.
After all, such Dharma Methods often involved loss of fortune or reduction of lifespan.
The only thing Chen Hai could truly teach to others was the technique for strengthening the Physical Body.
With even a little success in such a method, someone like Grandmaster Lei or Grandmaster Ma, who were martial arts experts, wouldn’t pose much difficulty for him to handle – beating ten of them would be easy.
