Selina continued, “Later, with the advent of television, the internet, and computers, various forms of entertainment emerged, and opera gradually faded into obscurity. It’s said that Jimmy Parker was too proud to conform to the ongoing trend, unwilling to retire, and just wanted to contimie singing opera. Is that why you left Broburgh

As if touched on a sore spot, Jimmy glared at Selina and scolded, “Shut up! Don’t think you know me! You’re you’re talking to?”
Selina smiled slightly and replied, “I don’t know you well. I rant about you from Ms. Lopez, who taught me to sing opera”
The live chat exploded instantly.
What the hell? He’s awesome. Is he some master living in seclusion!]
[I suddenly feel like the old man at the entrance of my village who lakes to smoke, drink, and perm his hair might be a ligshot, too
[I just looked it up on Google, Jimmy Parker, a national treasure–level opera singer, famous in his time, receiving state subudies. Everything Selina said is true. I also found that his wife is Roselle Lopez, also a national treasure level opera singer and Selina’s teacher |

Jimmy suddenly found Selina familiar.

Then, he thought, ‘Oh, I’ve seen her in the picture Roselle sent me. Roselle said she met her while visiting an old friend. She was Roselle’s old friend’s disciple, was a little interested in opera, and was talented. Roselle taught her a few things and liked her more and more, so Roselle gave the address. She mastered every skill Roselle knew, surpassing Roselle. It also meant that Roselle had found an heir to inherit her legacy, and she would have no regrets, even in death.
Selina bowed respectfully and then said. “Mr. Parker, are you really not going to talk anymore!”
“Follow me,” Jimmy finally relented, picking

Selina signaled to Lydia with a glance, and the two quickly followed. The caretaker also wanted to follow but was stopped by Jimmy Jimmy demanded, “You all stay right where you are, don’t follow me. That includes the cameraman. You’re not allowed to come over!”
“Damn it, Jim. You really the caretaker cursed.
“Uh…” The cameraman was in a dilemma. He had a job to do, live–streaming Selina and Lydia. Besides, suddenly discovering a national treasure- level opera master’s hidden retreat in the village that hadn’t been uncovered in the previous three seasons would create a buzz if he filmed it well. Reluctantly, he didn’t want to miss out.
Daniel, monitoring everything from behind the scenes, immediately contacted the cameraman via walkie–talkie. “Do whatever it takes! You must keep up and film this
Other shows struggle to find a highlight even after a whole season, but with Selina, there’s something new every day. How could they just let this go? Selina then said, “Mr. Parker, if you want to keep opera alive, this livestream of Serenity of Rural Life is an opportunity. Instead of letting it stall, why not try something new and embrace fresh ideas?”
“I hate them,” Jimmy poused like a stubborn child

“No choice then. If Ms. Lopez found out what you did on

variety show…. Hmmm, I wonder,” Selina said.
After Selina mentioned Roselle, Jimmy’s expression changed slightly. Thinking of Roselle’s temper, even hiding here wouldn’t save him from being thoroughly beaten.
“Come if you want, I don’t care, Jimmy said, then walked away first
Lydia winked at Selina and said. “Selina, you really pulled it off I thought this lead was a dead end.”
Selina replied, “I didn’t expect to run into Mr. Parker here. Fortunately, I knew a bit about him and M. Lopez from my mentor. Mr. Parker is actually afraid of his wife.”
“Afraid of his wife, so he hid here? Lydia asked. She couldn’t help gossiping a bit.
Selina answered. “It may still be because the times have changed, and Mr. Parker is not happy about it. Although he’s afraid of his wife, he has a deep relationship with Ms. Lopez, and she understands his situation. No wonder he’s being stubborn. Let’s just leave him be

Chapter 209
As they hushedly discussed Jimmy and Roselle, they arrived at Jimmy’s house.
It was an exquisitely built, bamboo–style courtyard in the village, with a big tree, a swing, coffee tables, vegetables, flower pots, and a stone–paved path. There were also a few half–finished handmade racks, all exuding a serene, rustic charm, low–key yet luxurious.
It matched the image of an elderly opera master like Jimmy perfectly,
