Chapter 35: The Jade Phoenix Troupe

Chen Mobai looked around and immediately understood the reason.

He saw many young male and female cultivators holding up various types of support signs, each with different names. However, Chen Mobai recognized two names: Meng Huang'er and Jiang Yuhuan.

"It turns out the Jade Phoenix Troupe is here. They are the top troupe in the Immortal Sect."

The Immortal Sect inherited many traditions from the previous civilization, including various forms of entertainment. With the aid of cultivation, there were countless handsome men and beautiful women. In this civilization, those who emerged as stars were the great opera performers.

Among them, the Jade Phoenix Troupe was the most outstanding opera troupe in the Immortal Sect over the past decade.

Meng Huang'er, who sang the role of the Qingyi (a type of female role), and Jiang Yuhuan, who sang the role of the Xiaosheng (a type of male role), performed the opera "Stepping on the Moon" at last year's Spring Festival Gala, which instantly became a sensation throughout the Immortal Sect. Centered around these two, the Jade Phoenix Troupe has been performing across the country in recent years, gaining wave after wave of admiration.

"Cousin, have you been waiting long?"

Just as Chen Mobai was considering whether to join the fans and join in the excitement, a warm and familiar voice sounded in his ear.

Turning his head, he saw a middle-aged man in a gray suit with slightly graying temples carrying two suitcases walking over from not far away.

It was his uncle, Chen Baolan.

"Uncle, we haven't seen each other for two or three years, right?"

Chen Mobai immediately ran over to help with the luggage.

"Two years, three months, and eighteen days. Big Brother has finally reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation."

Chen Baolan let Chen Mobai carry only one suitcase. The uncle and nephew had a very good relationship, chatting and laughing as they walked out of the airport.

"Their flight has arrived."

"Quickly, at Terminal 2!"

"Finally, I can see my idol in person."

"Meng Huang'er, the eternal Taiyin Fairy."

...

At this moment, the young men and women waiting for the Jade Phoenix Troupe in the airport suddenly became active, rushing towards another terminal. If not for the prohibition on using magic in the airport, many cultivators would have flown there.

"Do you want to see them too?"

Seeing Chen Mobai pause, Chen Baolan couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Who wouldn't want to see the top male and female idols of the Immortal Sect?"

Facing his family, Chen Mobai naturally didn't hesitate, admitting it straightforwardly.

"Look at this."

Chen Baolan took out a stack of something from his suit pocket and handed it to Chen Mobai. Chen Mobai took it and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"These are tickets to the Jade Phoenix Troupe's performance. They are even harder to get than the Three Treasures of Foundation Establishment. Where did you get them?"

"Boss Bian happened to be on the same flight as me, and we sat next to each other. We chatted quite happily, and he gave me these tickets."

"Who is Boss Bian?"

"Bian Yiqing, the leader of the Jade Phoenix Troupe, the top performer in the Immortal Sect thirty years ago, and the teacher of Meng Huang'er and Jiang Yuhuan."

Chen Baolan's words made Chen Mobai remember. Bian Yiqing was the childhood idol of his parents' generation. His performance of "The Dragon's Dream" was even invited to the Immortal Celebration Ceremony, and the video still ranks in the top three on the entire internet.

"Uncle, your luck is really amazing."

Chen Mobai couldn't help but marvel. Bian Yiqing was a national treasure, a great opera performer selected for the national team, and a teacher at the Dance and Instrument Academy, recognized as a grandmaster in the Immortal Sect.

"It's not just luck. A few days ago, our academy discovered an ancient relic, and we needed an expert from the Dance and Instrument Academy to identify some items. It just so happened that Boss Bian's Jade Phoenix Troupe was performing in Taibai City nearby, so he came over, and we got to know each other."

"Then today on the plane, we met again, chatted for a while, and got along very well, so he gave me ten tickets."

Chen Mobai immediately checked the ticketing platform and found that the Jade Phoenix Troupe would be performing twenty shows in Danxia City. The tickets he had could be used at any time, and he just needed to register the seats online if he wanted to watch.

"Our family needs three tickets, Aunt's family needs three, and you one, that's seven tickets. Can I sell the remaining three?"

Chen Mobai immediately booked a show for tonight, as it was a good time for the whole family to gather. However, ten tickets were still too many, so he thought about selling them on his personal store.

"Do as you please. I've already given you all ten tickets."

Chen Baolan laughed and walked out of the airport first.

Evening.

At the dinner table, Chen Xinglan and Chen Baolan were already drinking, while Tang Pancui was still cooking. Chen Mobai heard the doorbell ring and knew it was his aunt's family.

"Brother, I've reached the fourth level of Qi Cultivation."

At the door, a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl saw Chen Mobai, her eyes brightening. She had a delicate face, fair skin, and her black hair was styled into a lively and elegant Ling She Ji (a popular hairstyle in the Immortal Sect), making her look very lively and spirited.

She was Chen Mobai's cousin, Wang Xinying.

"Oh, that's impressive. It looks like it won't be long before you surpass your big brother."

Seeing his sister standing in front of him, proudly叉着腰 (crossing her arms), Chen Mobai couldn't help but reach out and touch her Ling She Ji.

"Isn't it beautiful? My mom helped me style it."

Wang Xinying beamed with joy at her brother's praise.

"Uncle, Aunt, come in quickly."

At the door were two more people, Wang Xinying's parents. The man had a rugged face and a robust build, while the woman wore a purple-red cheongsam with a high bun, looking plump and well-off.

They both smiled at Chen Mobai.

"Xiaobai is so polite, unlike his father."

When Uncle Wang Jianyuan was courting Chen Yulan, his fierce appearance made Chen Xinglan mistake him for a hooligan harassing his sister. After school, Chen Xinglan blocked him in an alley with a broom and gave him a good beating.

Given Wang Jianyuan's personality, he would have fought back, and the two ended up with bruised noses and faces before they started verbally abusing each other.

As they argued, Chen Xinglan realized he had made a mistake, but the beating had already happened. Wang Jianyuan, knowing this was his brother-in-law, could only accept his fate.

Even after Chen Yulan married him, the two still had some friction and would argue every time they met.

"Alright, today is my brother's big day. Try to keep quiet."

Chen Yulan looked at her husband with a scolding expression.

Wang Jianyuan was good in every way except for his small-mindedness. He still remembered the beating from Chen Xinglan and mentioned it every day, probably until the day he died.

"Hmph, isn't it better to be a Qi Cultivation cultivator? Some people just can't recognize their place."

But Wang Jianyuan ignored this and started mocking as soon as he entered.
