Chapter 269: Chapter 131: Advanced Draw, Heavenly Spiritual Treasure!_4
He clearly remembered that the last time he returned home, his house was desolate and dilapidated, overgrown with weeds.
How had it now returned to the appearance he remembered in his memories?
“Could it be, the scene I saw before, was it all an illusion….”
“In fact, my parents, they might not be dead.”
Qu Changge’s heart skipped a beat.
The heart that had long been deadened was now roiling with emotion, and tears almost spilled out.
But he didn’t step forward to knock on the door.
With his Foundation Establishment Cultivation, he was able to clearly sense that within the residence, there was only one elderly person.
There were no other signs of life.
So he knew that the derelict state of the Qu Residence he had seen before was not any illusion.
The residence before his eyes must have been rebuilt for some reason.
At this moment, the elder inside the Qu Residence, seeing Qu Changge standing at the door, couldn’t help but ask, “Young sir, do you need something?”
“I thought the Qu Residence had been raided by bandits….”
After a moment of silence, Qu Changge replied with a somewhat hoarse voice.
“Yes, the Qu Family, I don’t know what sins we had committed; ten years ago we were raided by bandits, and the courtyard was left desolate, but then last year….”
The elder spoke with a hint of melancholy.
The old man was of an advanced age, rambling on, but he helped Qu Changge understand the situation.
He learned that a man and a woman had come to erect a tombstone for his parents and had renovated the residence.
“Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen is still alive!”
Qu Changge immediately knew that the woman the elder spoke of was his sister, Qu Zhenzhen.
Knowing that his sister was still alive, his body couldn’t help but tremble.
But he soon calmed down again, nodded, and left with the bald man.
They had not gone far before the two transformed into an Escape Light, concealing their forms and entering the courtyard of the Qu Residence.
Looking at the courtyard, which closely resembled the one from his past yet lacked the vibrancy of life, Qu Changge seemed somewhat bewildered as he walked around.
Then, in the back courtyard, he saw the tombstones and spirit hall.
“Father, Qu Qingsong, Mother Zhao’s tomb… Son-in-law, Lu Changsheng, Daughter Qu Zhenzhen in tribute.”
“Zhenzhen is married?”
Qu Changge looked at the tombstone before him.
The image of his sister, Qu Zhenzhen, as he remembered her, surfaced in his mind.
Knowing that his sister was still alive and now married, he felt joy and relief but also a complex mix of emotions.
“Time really does fly.”
“It’s good that she’s married, with Zhenzhen’s temperament, it would be difficult for her to be alone.”
“I wonder how Zhenzhen is doing these days.”
Qu Changge stared at the tombstone before him, lost in thought, his expression extremely complex.
“Young Master, if you have living relatives you wish to see, I have a secret technique that can trace them through your bloodline,” said the man in black armor next to him, attempting to please him.
His obsequious demeanor instantly swept away any semblance of his authoritative presence.
“Forget it, given my current situation, it’s better not to disturb her life,” Qu Changge said, gently shaking his head.
He was acutely aware that he had embarked on a perilous path, one far different from that of ordinary people.
If he were to visit his sister, it might disrupt her life.
Moreover, he couldn’t stay for long on this visit back home.
Qu Changge then knelt before the tombstone, went to the spirit hall, and offered incense and tribute.
“Still, I should go have a look, as long as I don’t disturb his life,” he sighed as he prepared to leave the Qu Residence to investigate the true events of the Qu Family’s past.
He still couldn’t let go of his sister in his heart.
He decided to check on how his sister Zhenzhen was doing these days.
“What should I do?” Qu Changge asked, looking toward the man in black armor beside him.
“Young Master, you only need to give me a drop of your blood, and I can use it to trace the bloodline and perform the secret technique,” the man in black armor said.
Upon hearing this, Qu Changge promptly forced out a drop of bright, clear, scarlet blood.
Although in the Demon Path, there were many techniques that used another’s blood to perform spells, even to attack stealthily.
But he harbored no such worries.
Knowing that his master had certain intentions for him, his life was no longer in his own hands.
The man in black armor took the blood and formed hand gestures, turning the blood into a miniature, dark red snake.
“Young Master, this Blood Guiding Snake will automatically seek out those related to you by blood,” said the man in black armor.
“Let’s go,” Qu Changge said indifferently, nodding his head as he watched the Blood Guiding Snake, and he disappeared with the man in black armor from the courtyard.
Seven days later.
“Qingzhu Mountain.”
“Zhenzhen has also stepped onto the path of cultivation?”
Qu Changge and the man in black armor followed the blood-colored snake and arrived outside Qingzhu Mountain.
He immediately discerned that Qingzhu Mountain was a Cultivation family’s residence.
He had not expected that his sister would come to the residence of a Cultivation family and walk the path of a Cultivator.
“Young Master, I sensed just now that this is but a small family; inside is only one Foundation Establishment Cultivator,” said the man in black armor.
“Young Master, would you like to enter directly or sneak in?” he asked, his voice still carrying a fawning tone.
