Chapter 3028 Where Are My Family Members
Austin wandered aimlessly in the park, and soon encountered an old man in traditional style garments.
He was practicing Tai Chi slowly and gracefully.
''What? This can''t even be called a fist skill. It looks more like a physical fitness activity!''
Austin could not help butugh as he thought about what the old man was doing.
In contemporary times, martial arts was nothing but empty frames and gestures. It was more
ostentatious, rather than practical. Furthermore, itcked the energy support of the ancient practice.
However, it had all its goods in the window, so many people were still attracted to learn it.
In the eyes of cultivators like Austin who could fly in the air and travel underground, practicing such fist
skills was child''s y.
However, he found something that caught him by surprise.
"Huh?"
Austin then stared at the old man and paid attention to every move he made.
The actions of the old man carried no energy of any form and were simply bodily movements.
However, each posture flowed into the next with utmost sophistication. He hastened his movement at
one second, but then slowed it down the next like a streaming body of water. His moves were
apanied by intense focus and heavy breathing.
Gradually, the old man seemed to enter a state where his spirit, mind, and energy werebined in
the most harmonious way.
Of course, the old man didn''t realize it himself, and failed to see the truth behind it because he had
embraced the art form as a whole.
He was a Tai Chi enthusiast who had been practicing the same moves every day for decades.
As time went by, he had taken it to a certain level.
Of course his understanding of the art was rtively coarse upon closer inspection.
However, it was amazing enough for an old man without any cultivation base to disy the fist skill like
this.
This also reinforced the fact that the school of Tai Chi prevailing across the country was not as simple
as it looked. It contained something thatmon people could notprehend even if they could
perform it.
''Just like the sea cannot be measured with a bushel, I have been taught a valuable lesson today. I
never expected that there is such a mysterious principle coinciding with the practice of Tai Chi. It is truly
remarkable!''
Austin realized as he watched the old man from a distance.
He had practiced thew of prity before, and thus had a deep understanding of the principle of Yin
and Yang.
''I need to find time to thoroughly study Tai Chi, ''
Austin thought to himself while he marveled at its greatness with awe.
"Hey, there! You look like someone who is interested in Tai Chi, correct?"
As Austin was lost in his thoughts, the old man approached him and looked at him curiously. He did not
notice that the man in the traditional style garments had already stopped practicing.
"Oh, yes." Austin stumbled topose himself. "Your moves look amazing! I couldn''t take my eyes off
it!"
Austin took a step forward and bowed to the old man to show his respect.
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
They sat at a bench in the park and talked for a while. Austin learned that the old was a Tai Chi fanatic,
and had been practicing it for almost thirty years.
The old man''s eyes sparkled with delight while he talked about the art of Tai Chi.
He was almost 90 years old, but his appearance made him look like a middle-aged man.
The old man had a healthy lifestyle. He ate fresh and organic food, drank his medicine regrly, and
slept well for at least eight hours a day. Sickness or colds seldom fell upon him.
Of course, he also attributed his great physical condition to Tai Chi.
Austin agreed with him. The intent realm that the old man had generated unconsciously by practicing
Tai Chi was indeed good for his physical, mental, and spiritual wellness.
During their conversation, Austin waspletely baffled with what he had discovered.
It turned out that only ten years had passed since Austin had a car ident and left the Earth!
Hence, the space and time continuum of the Sr System indeed moved differently from that of the
Fallen Immortal Cosmos!
''What? Has it really only been ten years?
Then, that must mean that most of my family members and friends are still alive!''
Austin thanked every god he knew in his mind.
He feltpletely relieved and felt a hundred times lighter!
"Excuse me, sir. I saw that the old streets on the west side of the city had all been torn down. Do you
have any idea where the residents who had lived there are now?"
Austin asked the old man.
He had lived there before he left Earth.
"Oh, that old block was demolished ten years ago. As of its former residents, I''m not exactly sure where
they are now.
I heard that the government constructed a batch of buildings as a recement to amodate those
residents.
Some of them moved into the units, but others purchased apartments in other ces. However, a few
of them left this small town to seek better estates.
It''s been ten years.
Who knows where they are, what they are doing, or if they are even alive?
Why do you ask? Do you know someone who used to live there?"
the old man asked.
"Actually, yes. I lived there ten years ago. I traveled a lot during the past couple of years, and I never
got a chance toe back and visit this town. Unfortunately, I lost contact with all my rtives and
friends, but I hope I can find them,"
Austin said sadly.
"Oh, I see. Poor boy.
Well, let me help you. I live my whole life here, and I might know some people who may have an idea
about the whereabouts of the residents from that area.
Maybe I can ask them about it,"
the old man said sincerely.
He was a warm and weing person in the first ce.
He had a soft spot for Austin and appreciated the young man''s interest in Tai Chi.
"Wow. Are you sure? Thank you so much, sir!"
Austin said gratefully.
He wanted to find his parents as soon as possible, and did not turn down any opportunity to do so.
"Ha-ha, it''s nothing. It''s so much easier now because everyone has a smart phone.
Back in my day, there were no such things! Now, everyone is connected through social media and
these group chats. To be honest with you, even an old man like me got a couple of these groups!
I''ll just send a message to my secretary and have her look into it for you.
Don''t worry, young man. I believe you''ll get news from them soon.
Wait a moment. I''ll justpose my message and hit send..." the old man said as he looked into his
phone more closely.
"There, it''s done!"
Austin was surprised to see the old man proficient in using the smart phone.
When he was still living on Earth, the most popr mobile phones were asrge as bricks! How times
had changed!
Nowadays, people were able to ess information online at any time and any ce.
''Even though the cultivation culture has declined on Earth, it is reced by other modes of production.
Human beings have developed into another kind of civilization, and has harnessed technology into their
own advantage. Furthermore, innovative applications to digital development have been continuously
improved to elerate their productivity, ''
Austin pondered.
"Young man, since you haven''t been back for so long, you must have no ce to stay.
How about this? You cane to my ce until we get a word from your family. I believe it would not
take longer than two days."
The old man generously offered to Austin.
"Wow. Thank you, sir! You are very kind."
Austin nodded his head and epted the offer.
Afterwards, the man took Austin back to his home
Austin was surprised to see that although the old man looked humble, he actually lived in a luxurious
vi in the east of the city.
There were servants dressed in white clothing who took care of every household need, including the
old man''s daily basic needs.
It seemed that the old man was either rich or powerful.
After returning to the vi, the old man and Austin continued their conversation on Tai Chi over a cup of
tea.
asionally, Austin exined thew of Yin and Yang to the old man, who was intoxicated by Austin''s
words and had kept pping at the table.
Soon, the night fell.
Around dinner, a tall and beautiful woman in a ck suit came to the vi. She looked like the old
man''s assistant.
"Boss, I have an update regarding your request this afternoon," she reported respectively while she
held a brown envelope in her hand.
"This document contains the whereabouts of all the old residents on the west side of the town."
Then she passed the thick brown envelope to the old man.
"Good job!" the old man praised her and immediately handed it to Austin.
Austin was too eager to read it that his palms got sweaty.
He opened the envelope without hesitation and ran through the papers carefully. Finally, Austin found a
file with his family name.
Clement Lin, the name of his father, had moved back to the recement building with his family,
ording to the document.
However, they only stayed there for a few years.
For some reason unknown, they moved out and were said to relocate to a small bungalow house in the
western suburban area of the town.
"How about Clement and his wife? Are they in good health?"
Austin asked as his voice began to tremble.
"I''m sorry, but I have no idea. There''s no news from them since they moved out of the recement
building. We learned all of these information from their old neighbor, but he said he hasn''t heard from
them since,"
the assistant replied apologetically.
Austin began to feel uneasy. All of a sudden, he stood up and bade goodbye to the old man. He did not
n to sit there and wait for another second. Instead, he wanted to go to the western suburb as soon
as possible.
The old man was very kind, and even insisted his assistant to give Austin a ride.
However, Austin was too impatient to take a car since he knew that he could go there faster. He just
wanted to see his parents without dy. Thus, he then turned down the old man''s offer.
With Austin''s strength, it only took him a few minutes to go to the western suburb.
Whoosh!
Austin unleashed all of his physical strength and got out of the town in an instant. He rushed towards
the western suburb in lightning speed.
