Rebirth: The Return of the Cultivator

"Brother, slow down a bit, there's no rush." Laughter and chatter filled the air within the boudoir. An adolescent boy had his arms wrapped around the young lady's slender waist. ''Mmm... don't hurry, once we're engaged, I'll be yours eventually.'' The girl panted, her pretty face flushed red. Lin Nan wore a smile: "Why has your attitude towards me suddenly changed? I remember you didn't seem to like me much before?" "What are you talking about?" She batted her beautiful eyes. "I do like you; otherwise, why would I let you into my room today?" "Hurry up and take off your clothes; I can't wait anymore." "Okay!" Lin Nan's vision was ablaze with heat as he removed his shirt. "BANG!" A loud crash echoed as the door was forced open. A group from the Su family burst in, roaring with fury: "Lin Nan, how dare you! Get down on your knees this instant! Today is the day you've come to visit our Su family. If things go well, you'll become our in-law. Yet here you are, committing such indecent acts in this room?" "Dad, Grandpa! Wuwuwu, he... he molested me!" The girl's expression changed in an instant, tears streaming down her face like pearls falling from a broken necklace. "You... I... I didn't!" Lin Nan was speechless, his mind blank with confusion! Swoosh! Lin Nan opened his eyes and looked around, recognizing yet feeling unfamiliar faces. "Am I... at the Su family? In the Jiangnan region? During my youth?" Lin Nan was shaken to the core, finding it unbelievable. Could it be that he... had actually reincarnated? Back to his youth! How was that possible! Lin Nan was a great cultivator in the realm of cultivation, standing at the pinnacle of the path to immortality, on the verge of ascending to the next level. Nine-colored lightning tribulation, trigram union at the top of the head, five elements converging at the heart... He had clearly charged deep into the lightning tribulation, ready to break through and enter the world of gods, but at the last stroke of lightning, it seemed that Lin Nan hadn't been able to withstand it. Memories flashed through Lin Nan's mind. Looking at the scene around him again, everything felt so real. He should have been around seventeen years old, during his high school years, when he was betrothed to Su Mujian, the daughter of the Su family and a beauty who was considered a campus goddess at Jiangnan No. 1 Middle School. Because the Lin family encountered business problems and needed to ally with the Su family, his parents had no choice but to agree to let Lin Nan become part of the Su family as a son-in-law. During the three years as a prospective son-in-law, Lin Nan endured endless humiliation. In high school, Su Mujian ordered him around, and later the Su family used their connections to get Lin Nan and Su Mujian admitted into the same university. After entering university, Su Mujian became even more aggressive, even dating others in front of Lin Nan, her supposed fiancé. Three years later, the Lin family continued to decline in fortune, and Lin Nan, treated as a castaway, did not marry Su Mujian but was instead kicked aside by her! The Lin family also met with disaster, resulting in the loss of home and family. After three years as a prospective son-in-law, he became a laughingstock. Unbearable from the blows, Lin Nan leaped from the roof of his school, only to find himself reincarnated into the cultivation world! Recalling all that had happened, Lin Nan felt these events were like heart demons he could not shake off. Was it that heaven had given him a chance to start over, allowing him to overcome his own heart demons and make amends for his regrets, which is why it sent him back to his youth? "Hahahaha..." Realizing this, Lin Nan suddenly burst into laughter: "Since God gave me a chance, then this time, I will live up to this life!" "Lin Nan, what kind of nonsense are you spouting?" A middle-aged man suddenly bellowed. "What kind of situation is this? Why aren't you kneeling to greet the patriarch, shouting and laughing aimlessly? Do you think this is a vegetable market?" The man was Su Bai Shun, Su Mu Zhe's father. Everyone else in the Su family also frowned and watched Lin Nan's every move. "The Su family has been a prestigious family for three hundred years. How can Lin Nan be so clueless about etiquette?" "Kneel down and apologize to the patriarch!" "A person from a small place is still a person from a small place, lacking basic manners." …… Su Mu Zhe couldn't help but speak up: "Lin Nan, what are you doing? Grandfather is present; why aren't you kneeling?" Lin Nan glanced back at Su Mu Zhe. At one meter sixty-five, he was slim, with fair skin and long legs. His delicate face had a touch of baby fat. Angry, his eyebrows slightly raised, and there was a hint of anger in his almond-shaped eyes. In Jiangnan No. 1 Middle School, Su Mu Zhe was a beauty, but in the eyes of Lin Nan, who had returned reincarnated, she was just an ordinary girl. Even his servant girls in the cultivation world were prettier than her. Lin Nan vaguely found his past self amusing: "It's a shame that I once liked Su Mu Zhe, foolishly thinking that as long as I was sincere to her, even if I became a son-in-law of the Su family, I would definitely be able to win her over in the future." "Alas, in the end, it turned out to be an empty effort, watching helplessly as Su Mu Zhe paired off with someone else during college, living together as husband and wife." "All of this today is designed by Su Mu Zhe!" The moment he saw Su Mu Zhe, Lin Nan's heart suddenly became clear-minded. Su Mu Zhe, nothing special after all. "I'm talking to you; what does looking at me like that mean?" Su curtain shouted, as always strong. Lin Nan smiled faintly: "It's not interesting." After dropping this sentence, Lin Nan strode toward the door of Su's house. The crowd was startled. Su Baishun shouted angrily behind Lin Nan: "Lin Nan, do you know what you are doing?" Leave without saying a word, treat my Sue's house as some place, come and go when you want?" "Su's? Oh, in the future, eight big sedan, three kneeling nine knocks, I may not come to the door." Lin Nan dropped a word, disappeared in the field of vision. Su Jin Cheng, the head of the Su family, trembled all over, staring in disbelief at Lin Nan's receding figure. This young man, who was clearly the same person who had just entered the Su residence... yet somehow, he seemed different. ...... After stepping out of the Su residence, Lin Nan deeply inhaled the air of Earth. The familiar taste, the familiar scent, everything felt so real. Although Earth's spiritual energy was scarce, it was no obstacle for Lin Nan's cultivation. "Ding ding ding——" Suddenly, his phone rang. Lin Nan took out his phone and saw a familiar name appear: Mom. Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, then his thoughts came flooding back. In his previous life, the person he felt most guilty towards was his parents and grandfather. He vividly remembered the look of disappointment in his parents' eyes and his grandfather's silent sigh at the family gathering. This time, Lin Nan resolved not to disappoint them again. "Hello." He pressed the answer button. "Xiao Nan, why did you take so long to pick up? Just now, Su Mu Zhe called and said you rushed out of the Su residence and destroyed the engagement ceremony?" "Mom..." Lin Nan began, his voice hoarse. "Xiao Nan, Mom knows you're upset. As a grown man, you don't want to be a burden to your family, but we really have no other choice. You know about our family business; we need the Su family's help. But Mom supports you. If you don't want to be a burden, then don't be. Your dad is very angry right now, and grandpa doesn't know about this yet. Mom will try to hold things down for you; your uncle and second uncle will surely gossip. If you're unhappy, just relax and take a break." "Now that you're in your third year of high school, about to turn eighteen, there are many things Mom hopes you can understand." "Okay, Mom won't talk to you anymore. I'll transfer two thousand yuan to your card later. Buy whatever you want to eat or buy." His mother, as usual, chattered on, carefully comforting Lin Nan. Lin Nan's eyes revealed a steely determination: "Mom, you can rest assured, I won't let you down in this life." "What do you mean 'this life'? You sound strange, kiddo." Mother said oddly, then reminded him again, "Okay, Mom won't talk to you anymore, your dad is coming, remember to turn off your phone so he doesn't call and scold you." "Got it, bye." After hanging up, Lin Nan's phone buzzed with a message indicating a two thousand yuan transfer. Looking at the transfer notification, Lin Nan clenched his phone tightly. Now, Lin Nan had only one purpose: to cultivate!
