Before he left, Chen Mobai made sure Che Yucheng got him a pass so he could go to the library and redeem the Gold Core and Core Formation Insights from the Pure Yang Scroll.
Although he was still far from reaching the Core Formation stage, Enlightenment Tea could allow him to see the process in advance.
After picking up the corresponding Cultivation Techniques and resources from the library, Chen Mobai also downloaded some papers on puppet factories from the campus network before going to the Student Union.
Leading the triumphant return of the Dance Tool Dao Academy team naturally called for a proper celebration.
Hua Zijing had already adeptly organized a celebratory banquet.
Chen Mobai didn’t forget to change his clothes in his office, as the Dancing Device Red and Black Robe he was wearing, in fact, belonged to Jiang Yuyuan.
“Junior brother, please guide me a lot in the next few years.”
Mid-drinks, Bian Jingchun flushed slightly and toasted to Chen Mobai.
Chen Mobai didn’t quite grasp the meaning of her words, but respectfully clinked glasses with her.
After everyone had eaten and drank their fill, the gathering dispersed.Sun Daoji and Chi Shicheng set off together for Crimson City. Both had booked their departure for the next day, and had bid Chen Mobai farewell before leaving.
“When you come back to Wangwu Heaven, you can look for us.”
Both worked at the central hub of the fairy gate and wanted to get Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pills for their Core Formation.
“Very well, journey safely, brothers.”
Chen Mobai had originally wanted to ask Chi Shicheng about the Devouring Heaven Serpent, but then thought about how he was completely clueless about the subject. Just in case this was exclusive technology of the Ascension Sect, it would be like exposing his collusion with the Heretical Cult.
So, upon careful consideration, he decided to put it on hold for the moment.
Friend or not, he would have opportunities to talk to him later.
After all the guest had left, Chen Mobai returned to his little cottage.
Looking up, he was surprised to see the lights on in Meng Huang’s villa up the hill.
But considering it was the end of term and exams were around the corner, it was normal for her to return.
Chen Mobai didn’t put too much thought into it, he transported himself to the Tianhe Realm from within his room.
Things in Xiao Nanshan were still the same, but after opening the Cloud Mist Array at the top of the hill, he found two message talismans.
They were from his two apprentices.
Now was the time for the sect competition. His eldest apprentice had been injured in the big battle with the Mountain Shaker Peak, and although he had recovered, his cultivation level had dropped by two stages, so he did not participate this year.
Zhuo Ming and Luo Yixuan, on the other hand, had signed up.
Zhuo Ming participated to gain more Magic Duel experience and also because the business at South Mountain Shop in Divine Wood City needed tending to by the end of the year.
Luo Yixuan’s reasons were different. She was aiming for one of the twenty-four true transmission spots this year, with a determination to make her master proud.
Before departing, both of Luo Yixuan and Zhuo Ming sent message talismans to the closed-off Chen Mobai.
After reading the contents, Chen Mobai nodded, estimated the time, and if Luo Yixuan became a true transmission, he figured he would be able to make it to the last few rounds.
After replying to both apprentices, Chen Mobai saw that there wasn’t much happening on the Divine Wood Sect’s side, so he returned to the Daoist Academy.
That night, he didn’t meditate. Instead, he turned off the lights, went to bed, and had a good night’s sleep.
Atop the hill, inside an elegantly designed villa’s second-floor living room, an attractive figure with a great body and long, slim waist stood in front of the window. She watched as the lights in the cabin at the foot of the hill went out, her beautiful face slightly stunned.
[Think about it carefully, you only have one chance.]
The colorful silhouette on her phone screen slowly faded, leaving behind a message.
It was only after the text disappeared that Meng Huang slowly came back to her senses.
[A chance, only one…]
The next day.
Chen Mobai woke up naturally, feeling his spirit, qi, and health had reached their peak.
He didn’t waste any time, and after using the Short Teleportation Talisman to get to the Daoist Academy, he went straight to Building 9 to book a Cultivation Room for the week.
Although the Enlightenment Tea only lasts for three days, he had to leave extra room for himself.
While he was scanning to pay his good deed points, Chen Mobai noticed several unread messages.
They were all from his good friends in the Academy who had heard he had returned in glory and sent their congratulations.
While casually scrolling through the messages, Chen Mobai found one from Meng Huang mixed in as well.
[Do you have time recently?]
Chen Mobai glanced at it and immediately ignored it.
The end of the year was always his busiest time. Right now, in addition to his main task of taking the Enlightenment Tea, the Student Union also needed to pre-schedule the curriculum for all majors in the Academy for the next year.
These tasks involved communication with various teachers and students and, with Hua Zijing graduating, if Chen Mobai didn’t step in, it was estimated it could drag on until the beginning of next year before being completed.
In addition, if his apprentice in the Divine Wood Sect truly got into the final rounds, he, as the master, should be there to watch, both in emotion and in reason.
Once these three tasks were completed, he needed to go to Crimson City to audit and file taxes for their symbol factory by the end of the year. Since it involved the factory’s mortgage loan, he, as the legal representative, had to be present; otherwise, it was doubtful if the accounts would be approved by the bank and the academy.
Chen Mobai neatly listed the tasks he needed to do after consuming the Enlightenment Tea in his mind. Compared with these, maintaining friendship with Meng Huang quite simply fell to the bottom of the list.
After replying to the congratulatory messages from his good friends such as Ming Yuhua, Chen ran his finger across his phone screen and essentially pretended he hadn’t seen Meng Huang’s message.
