That idiot from the Sword Sect turned out to be a lucky charm.

Lin Zhifeng was overjoyed and repeatedly bowed to his uncle to express his gratitude.

Storm said, "It's nothing. I should help you out of consideration for our old friendship."

Lin Zhifeng was momentarily at a loss for words with his uncle, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward. He wondered what this powerful figure was planning.

The storm fell silent, slowly finishing the tea he had brewed. Only then did he speak, "I have another matter to tell you."

Lin Zhifeng said, "Uncle, please speak."

The storm said, “I did some divination a few days ago and have already calculated the location where your mother, Wind and Rain, was reincarnated. She has been reborn into the mortal realm. I am about to go there to find out more. Would you like to come with me?”

In Feng Bao's view, Lin Zhifeng would definitely want to see his birth mother's reincarnation. After all, due to his incomplete soul and mentally impaired state, he didn't know what his birth mother looked like. Now that his soul has returned, what child wouldn't miss his mother?

In truth, Lin Zhifeng himself didn't care, but seeing Feng Bao say that, he put himself in the original owner's shoes and felt that a normal person would think the same way. To avoid arousing Feng Bao's suspicion and exposing his secret, he quickly and respectfully said, "Of course I want to! I just don't know if it's convenient or if it will cause trouble for my uncle. Otherwise, after you go and see her, just let me know the result. I just need to know that she is doing well."

Storm was very satisfied with what he said, thinking to himself that this was a good boy who knew when to advance and when to retreat.

Therefore, he said gently, "It's alright. With my abilities, taking you there might be a little troublesome, but it's not a difficult matter."

Lin Zhifeng hurriedly said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle."

Storm stood up and said, "Then let's not delay, shall we set off now?"

Lin Zhifeng said, "Uncle, how long will this trip take? If we need to be away for too long, I need to inform the elders and ask for leave."

The storm said, "I'll take you through time to the mortal realm. The flow of time is different in the two worlds. When we return, it will probably still be dark here. Just come with me; there's no need to bother asking for leave."

Lin Zhifeng had no choice but to follow Feng Bao's arrangements, saying, "I'll listen to my uncle."

The storm was very satisfied with his answer and said nothing more. It rolled up Lin Zhifeng's sleeves, tore open space, and took him to the mortal realm.

Lin Zhifeng was caught off guard and caught in the storm's embrace. After a familiar dizzying sensation, he found himself in the mortal realm.

This mortal realm is quite different from his original world; it seems to be in a much more ancient time.

They settled on the edge of a capital city. Storm gestured for Lin Zhifeng to disguise himself as a young scholar; Storm himself dressed as a middle-aged man.

The two slowly made their way towards the city gate. Lin Zhifeng looked around curiously, watching the hurried pedestrians on the road. He couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, was my mother reincarnated in this city? Is she a boy or a girl now? Is she old or young? When we meet later, will she still recognize us?"

Storm said, “Judging from the divination, she should still be a woman. This reincarnation indicates an extremely wealthy background; I suspect she is probably the daughter of the city lord. As for her memories, they have likely been erased long ago, and she probably wouldn’t recognize him even if they passed each other.” After saying this, he himself became somewhat sentimental.

The reason why Storm decided to bring Lin Zhifeng along to see the reincarnation of Wind and Rain was that he did not want to face this situation alone.

Lin Zhifeng was oblivious to the unusual nature of the storm; he was engrossed in watching the spectacle unfold.

It's unclear which dynasty this city belongs to. The residents all dress in ancient attire, and the buildings lining the streets are magnificent ancient structures.

They first went to a bustling restaurant in the city, ordered a table of delicious dishes, and then summoned the waiter to inquire about the local customs and culture of the city.

The waiter accepted the sparkling gem that Storm handed him, his smile growing even more ingratiating. He told these two generous guests everything he knew about the city.

Thus, Feng Bao and Lin Zhifeng learned that the city was called Star-Picking City. The city lord was a renowned martial artist named Jiang Liu, known far and wide as the Star-Picking Hero. The Star-Picking Hero had an only daughter named Jiang Yu, who was as beautiful as a flower and was cherished and doted on by the city lord.

Soon, a grand event will be held in Star City—the city lord's daughter will be seeking a suitable husband.

"Our Star-Picking City will be so lively then! Young talents from the ten major cities nearby will come to propose marriage. I heard that the city lord will test and select those who come to propose. Only the most outstanding young man will be able to win the heart of our city lord's daughter," the waiter said excitedly.

Lin Zhifeng thought to himself: Could this Jiang Yu be the reincarnation of my mother? Now that she is looking for a son-in-law, will my uncle also go and make up for the regrets of his previous life?

However, he could only think about it, but he dared not ask aloud. He even managed to control his expression well, without showing any gossip.

The waiter continued his rambling, and after sizing up Feng and Lin, he clicked his tongue in admiration, saying, "You two young masters are quite handsome, are you also here to propose to our city lord's daughter?"

Lin Zhifeng said, "No. My uncle and I were just passing through this place and did not know that the city lord's daughter was choosing a husband."

The waiter smiled and said, "Let me let you know that our city lord is a high-level martial artist, so naturally he likes martial artists. Our young lady also likes those with high martial arts skills. May I ask if you two know martial arts, and what stage of cultivation you are at now?"

Lin Zhifeng said, "My uncle and I are just ordinary people. Although we know some basic martial arts, it's only enough for self-defense. We dare not compete with you heroes."

The waiter said regretfully, "What a pity! But you two gentlemen can stay here for a few more days; it will be very lively then."

Lin Zhifeng thanked him and sent him away.

When only Lin Zhifeng and Feng Bao remained, Lin Zhifeng picked up his chopsticks and tasted the food on the table. Although it contained no spiritual energy whatsoever, the taste was still quite good. It reminded him of the world he had before he transmigrated.

He was reminiscing about the past, but Storm thought he was grieving for his mother's reincarnation who was about to get married. This feeling of things changing and people being different was indeed poignant, and he advised, "Storm has been reincarnated, and strictly speaking, she is now a completely new person. Her fate with you has ended, so you don't need to be too sad."

Lin Zhifeng thought to himself: Uncle, aren't you being quite reasonable? Don't act impulsively when you see my mother's reincarnation! Otherwise, what am I supposed to do if you stay here to get married? I won't be able to go back on my own!
