The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 399 - 397: Wife, Happy Birthday

Chapter 399: Chapter 397: Wife, Happy Birthday

Xu Family, a dark shadow slowly emerged as Xu Zhiwei fell from the wall.

"You’ve been followed, do you know that?"

The shadow’s somber voice came through, tinged with dissatisfaction.

"That person is a Golden Core Cultivator, she has noticed you. Be more careful with your actions in the future. Avoid contacting those from the Mystical Sect. It’s best to pretend to be an ordinary person most of the time."

"Who followed me?"

Xu Zhiwei’s expression changed slightly.

She had thought herself quite formidable, yet she hadn’t noticed someone tracking her at all.

A black Water Mirror appeared in the room, showing the figure of Qin Zhao controlling her sword; she had obviously found the car empty and returned to the auction via Sword Control.

"Why is it her? She can even fly?!"

Xu Zhiwei was shocked, not expecting Qin Zhao’s cultivation to be so advanced.

"She must be trying to probe you."

The shadow paused thoughtfully, "How did you expose yourself?"

"Could it have been that sword?"

Xu Zhiwei thought of the sword that Shangguan Qiu held in her embrace, which she had previously been chased by.

Though her appearance wasn’t exposed, the sword might remember her aura.

"It seems to be called the Changyuan Sword."

"The Changyuan Sword?"

The fluctuation in the shadow’s tone made Xu Zhiwei feel that this sword was not ordinary.

"So the Changyuan Sword is here, no wonder."

A black spell light enveloped Xu Zhiwei.

"I have covered your aura. As long as you do not reveal your Spiritual Power, those Heavenly Masters will not trouble you. They place great importance on cause and effect and cannot kill Mortals without reason."

"The owner of the Changyuan Sword is protecting Qi Ling; I’m afraid I won’t be able to get close to him."

"You go and take care of other matters, I will personally contact Qi Ling."

Xu Zhiwei nodded her head.

Just as the shadow on the wall was about to disappear, it suddenly emerged again.

He glanced at the item that had fallen on the ground, which was the Jade plug Xu Zhiwei had just purchased, and he sneered, "What do you need this for? I didn’t expect you to have this kind of hobby."

"It’s just a burial jade, what’s the problem?"

"This is Nine-Hole Jade."

The shadow briefed her on what Nine-Hole Jade was, and to which of the nine orifices it belonged.

Xu Zhiwei’s face twisted and she felt nauseated.

Thinking that she had been playing with this jade in her hand just moments ago, she couldn’t help but dry heave, supporting herself on the table.

She called a servant over and had them dispose of the Jade plug. She then went to the bathroom and washed her hands several times with soap, nearly scrubbing her skin raw.

-

Qin Zhao found Shangguan Qiu and Qi Ling.

"Have you seen Xu Zhiwei?"

"No, weren’t you following her?"

"She disappeared right under my watch."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qiu’s expression turned grave.

She knew how formidable Qin Zhao’s cultivation was; if Xu Zhiwei could vanish under Qin Zhao’s watch, could her cultivation be higher than Qin Zhao’s?

"She will surely return to the Xu Family. Shall we go to the Xu Family to find her?"

"The Xu Family is inaccessible."

Qin Zhao mentioned her last visit to the Xu Family.

"So strange? Could there perhaps be some powerful entity shielding the Xu Family?"

Qi Ling’s expression darkened as he listened to their conversation.

For years, he had been seeking revenge.

Not only did he want the Xu Family to go bankrupt, but he also wanted those scoundrels to die miserably. However, despite his and Chu Yan’s plans over the years, they hadn’t been able to shake the Xu Family’s foundation, especially after Lu Tingming rose to power.

After Lu Tingming’s failure in the elections, the Xu Family also suffered financial losses in their business.

Qi Ling had wanted to secretly kill off several people from the Xu Family, but accidents always occurred along the way.

Could there be some cursed object helping the Xu Family, allowing them to remain unharmed till now?

In the pitch-black almond-shaped eyes, the light flickered uncertainly.

"Xu Zhiwei cannot possibly stay in the Xu Family forever without coming out; we can find a way to lure her out later on."

Qin Zhao said so.

"For now, that’s the only thing we can do, although I do not know who the person protecting her from behind is. You still need to be careful yourself to avoid any danger."

"I am aware of the risks."

After speaking, Shangguan Qiu prepared to take Qin Zhao home.

"Your concussion has healed; do you still need to go to the hospital?"

Before going back, Qin Zhao asked Qi Ling,

"Do we still have to go through the discharge process?"

Qi Ling said somewhat irritably.

"Then you send me home first, and then take him to handle the discharge."

This was said to Shangguan Qiu.

"Mhm."

"Does she still have to follow me?"

"What else?"

Qi Ling gave up and slumped into the back seat.

When exactly would these miserable days come to an end?

Upon returning home, it happened to be dinner time.

Just as Qin Zhao entered, she smelled a suspiciously delicious aroma.

It was the scent of food, which instantly put her in a good mood, making her want to see what was on the menu today.

Before even stepping into the kitchen, she was pulled away by Chu Yan.

"I have something for you to see."

"What is it?"

He led her to the bedroom.

Opening the door, she saw many, many gift boxes on the bed, about twenty-something by a rough count.

"What’s all this for?"

Qin Zhao looked at him with confusion.

"Happy Birthday."

Chu Yan took a birthday hat out of his pocket and placed it on Qin Zhao’s head.

Birthday? Qin Zhao had forgotten when her own birthday was.

"Is today my birthday?"

"Yeah, don’t you remember?"

Chu Yan rubbed her cheek and took the opportunity to give her a quick kiss.

"I made you a lot of delicious food, including a birthday cake and twenty-four gifts."

Because Qin Zhao was twenty-four!

After saying this, Chu Yan looked at her with eager eyes.

Qin Zhao slowly blinked, really wanting to open the gifts.

"So... can you add me back?"

She still had him blocked on WeChat!

Qin Zhao huffed, "First tell me what gifts you’ve prepared?"

"What’s the point of telling you? You’ll see when you open them. Now add me back."

"Fine."

Qin Zhao added him back on WeChat.

But instead of rushing to open the gifts, she went first to see what delicious food there was tonight.

"Wow, how is this crab even bigger than an Emperor Crab?"

The dinner table was laden with dishes she had never tried before, including a crab shell that was bigger than her head, with the crab meat and legs turned into dishes.

"This is an Emperor Crab, it has a pretty good taste too."

Chu Yan pulled out a chair for her to sit down, and seeing her start to wolf down her food, he said resignedly, "Don’t eat so fast, you’ll choke."

He sat beside Qin Zhao, not yet starting to eat himself, busy pouring her a drink.

"Do you want wine or a soft drink?"

"Wine."

Since she wanted wine, Chu Yan poured himself some red wine too.

Qin Zhao, busy eating, didn’t notice that Chu Yan had secretly poured wine for himself. She had told him before that he, with his weak alcohol tolerance, was not to drink anymore.

Chu Yan sipped the red wine, his gaze profoundly fixed on the dishes on the table.

He had been busy preparing the meal since returning from the hospital and now didn’t seem to have much appetite.

His gaze drifted to Qin Zhao beside him, his eyes flickering with a tinge of desire.

Chu Yan seemed to find her more appetizing than the food, and suddenly felt an impetuous urge, gulping down the wine in his glass.

"Qin Zhao."

Chu Yan suddenly called out to her with an especially deep and husky voice.

As Qin Zhao turned to look at him, he touched her lips with his fingertip, wiping away the greasy streak on the corner of her mouth, "Why are you only eating and not drinking?"

"I’ll drink in a bit, why are you drinking?"

Just as Qin Zhao was about to move the wine glass away from the table, Chu Yan suddenly leaned in and pressed her against the back of the chair.

"I’ll feed it to you, okay?"
