Upon returning home,

Chen Mobai was tightly embraced by Tang Pancui, who was overwhelmed with emotion and tears streaming down her face.

Chen Xinglan had also returned, standing with reddened eyes, watching the mother and son reunion.

They had originally wanted to go to the scene to cheer him on, but Chen Mobai, fearing that he would be distracted, asked them and even his aunt and uncle not to come.

“Brother, you’re amazing!”

His cousin, Wang Xinying, screamed and rushed over, throwing herself into Chen Mobai’s arms.

Their family had arrived early and watched the entire competition on the living room television.

After Chen Mobai’s victory, they seemed to have celebrated quite a bit, with the hall filled with streamers and the like.

“Come here, nephew, let me have a good look at you. I never expected this!”

His uncle, Wang Jianyuan, came over, patted Chen Mobai’s head, his face full of emotion.

“Who do you think his father is?”

Chen Xinglan said proudly, and Wang Jianyuan, who usually liked to argue with him, had no retort this time.

“Your uncle will come over tomorrow night, let’s celebrate today.”

The celebration lasted for three full days.

After the family had eaten, Chen Xinglan and Tang Pancui invited their neighbors and friends.

After all, being admitted to one of the four Taoist academies was a rare event in Danxia City.

The last one to be admitted was Taoist master Yu Tianguang, who had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Whether Chen Mobai could reach the Foundation Establishment stage after entering the Immortal Gate Academy was uncertain, but it was almost guaranteed that he would reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

After all, the success rate of Foundation Establishment for students of the four Taoist academies was as high as 80%.

After the family celebration, Chen Mobai was taken to school.

Representing the Fifth High School, he faced a dozen reporters, took photos with He Jingshan under the banner “Warmly Celebrating Our Student Chen Mobai’s Admission to the Immortal Gate Academy”, and answered many questions.

He Jingshan had initially feared that Chen Mobai, being young, would be flustered in the face of such a situation.

But Chen Mobai’s maturity surprised him, and he answered the reporters’ questions very skillfully, neither humble nor arrogant, modest but full of strong confidence.

After representing the school, dozens of media reporters wanted to interview him.

However, they were all rejected by Chen Mobai.

He did not lose himself in the media frenzy, knowing very well that in the Immortal Gate, only cultivation level was real.

However, his home address was soon found by the keen paparazzi. Although they did not dare to intrude, their daily loitering nearby annoyed Chen Mobai.

He didn’t even dare to go to the Tianhe Realm anymore.

Perhaps there were reporters who practiced strange techniques and could detect his disappearance in the room.

At first, Tang Pancui quite enjoyed the feeling of showing off, telling everyone that her son had been admitted to one of the four Taoist academies.

But as time went on, she also grew tired of it.

Chen Xinglan had already returned to the Chixia Academy to continue preparing for Foundation Establishment.

“These guys really don’t let people have peace.”

After returning home in the evening, Chen Mobai and Tang Pancui were having dinner when they noticed a camera across the street. The latter was annoyed but helpless.

“Mom, why don’t we go back to the village and stay with my grandparents for a while?”

Chen Mobai couldn’t stand staying in Danxia City anymore and didn’t dare to go out and meet his friends.

He could only stay at home every day to cultivate, shop, make ink, and draw talismans.

Although he had the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water and his cultivation progress hadn’t fallen behind, he hadn’t been to the Tianhe Realm for a month. He didn’t know what the situation was like on the monster island.

Although the situation had basically stabilized before he left, that was where Chen Mobai planned to make his fortune and earn spirit stones. He was afraid of any accidents.

But on second thought, if something did happen, his current cultivation level would be completely inadequate.

But he had finally gotten on the right track with the Shenmu Sect, and he couldn’t just give up.

It just so happened that every year during the holidays, he and Tang Pancui would go back to their rural hometown to visit their grandparents. They could take the opportunity to hide in the mountains.

“Alright, I’ll ask my boss for leave right away.”

Tang Pancui had also had enough these past few days. Both of them were action-oriented and immediately packed their bags after making the decision.

That night, they left Danxia City.

Before leaving, Chen Mobai asked his uncle Wang Jianyuan to help them. He drove them to the bus station, and they bought tickets and left before the reporters could react.

After the mother and son took the bus to a station in the suburbs, a slightly dark-skinned old man was already waiting for them with a pickup truck and a pipe.

Seeing Chen Mobai get off the bus, the old man’s eyes lit up and he rushed over to hug him.

“My precious grandson, you’re finally here!”

“Father, let’s go quickly. I estimate there are still quite a few people chasing after us.”

Tang Pancui stuffed the luggage into the back of the pickup truck and urged them to leave.

“Once we’re in the mountains, I’d like to see who dares to bother you.”

The old man snorted coldly, his tone domineering.

He was Tang Lu, the village chief of Qingshan Village, Tang Pancui’s father, and Chen Mobai’s grandfather.

After getting off at this station, they took the pickup truck for another three hours before they entered a small village with clear mountains and waters and terraced fields all over the mountains.

“Xiao Cui, I heard your son got into the Immortal Gate Academy.”

Tang Pancui had already bragged to Tang Lu, who couldn’t keep a secret, and it was clear that the whole Qingshan Village knew that Chen Mobai had been admitted to one of the four Taoist academies.

In front of others, especially in the place where she grew up, Tang Pancui immediately perked up.

“Auntie, long time no see. This matter, the main credit is mine. If I hadn’t taken him to the temple on the mountain to pray during the holidays, how could this little rascal have such good luck…”

After getting off the bus, Tang Pancui started chatting with an old woman at the entrance of the village. Soon, a group of women who had heard the news came over to see the legendary genius who was said to be the reincarnation of the God of Literature and Martial Arts.

Chen Mobai could only smile awkwardly. Fortunately, Tang Lu called him to move the luggage, and he immediately escaped from the crowd of women and disappeared in a puff of smoke.The group of women didn’t follow, instead, they all gathered around Tang Pancui, who was loudly boasting about her unique experience in raising children, their faces full of envy.

“Grandma.”

Upon reaching the innermost household of Qing Mountain Village, Chen Mobai saw a silver-haired woman waiting at the door and immediately called out to her.

“Ah, my good grandson, you’ve really made your grandma proud.”

The woman’s face was full of smiles as she proudly embraced Chen Mobai.

In the evening, the whole family gathered.

In addition to the grandparents, there were also two uncles and aunts.

The two or three days of celebration allowed Tang Pancui to enjoy the limelight.

“By the way, we’re going to the temple on the mountain to fulfill our vows tomorrow, don’t you run around.”

That day, Chen Mobai was in the courtyard, mixing ink for drawing talismans on the stone table with the ink-making tools he had bought online, when Tang Pancui, who had just returned from showing off outside, suddenly said.

“Okay, I know.”

After saying that, Chen Mobai looked at the turtle shell on the stone table, which he used to press the talisman paper.
