Chapter 1446: Chapter 762: Two Secretaries_5
Originally expected to take over half a year to get adjusted, it only took two months for Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan to beco proficient.
Lin Yin felt an unprecedented sense of ease; she now only needed to focus on her primary duties.
The efficiency of the Patching Heaven Group had greatly improved.
Chen Mobai was even more satisfied with this developnt.
He was also freed from the busy trivialities of the Immortal Gate, gaining more spare ti.
This ti, he could use for his own cultivation, or visit the Eastern Wilderness to check on the formation of the Five Elents Comrce Association, and also to deepen his relationship with Qing Nu.
Ti quickly approached the end of the year.
That day, Chen Mobai was attempting to rge two streams of Primordial True Qi, one large and one small, when he received an urgent call.
On the phone, Shi Wanyu’s voice was slightly tearful as she inford him that her father had stopped breathing in the hospital.
Upon hearing the news, Chen Mobai imdiately asked Narcissus for leave, who approved it without asking for any reason.
Shi Wanyu’s father had died a natural death.
Before his death, holding his spouse’s hand, he had passed away smiling.
As a Qi Practitioner, he had a blessed life spanning a hundred and twenty years.
Especially having seen his daughter’s happy face before his death, he felt no regrets in life.
Shortly after Chen Mobai returned, not long after, Shi Wanyu’s mother also passed away at night, under the companionship of the three of them, holding Xiao Hei’s hand as she closed her eyes.
Losing both parents within a short period of ti was naturally a trendous blow for Shi Wanyu.
Although she had long known this day would co, facing it was still unbearably sorrowful.
Chen Mobai stayed with her to handle the aftermath for the elderly couple. Given his special status, it was inconvenient for him to appear publicly, so he entrusted the head of the Yu family to help.
The head of the Yu family, nad Yu Shijun, had initially enabled Xiao Hei to go to the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains by calling Yu Huiping, and Chen Mobai owed him a favor.
Thus, he was aware of Shi Wanyu’s situation.
After burying the elderly couple, Chen Mobai lit incense, intending to leave with the grief-stricken Shi Wanyu and his daughter, when he suddenly saw an unexpected person respectfully accompany Yu Shijun up the mountain.
“Grandma, what brings you here?”
Chen Xiaohei, seeing Yu Huiping arriving with Yu Shijun, couldn’t help but express surprise and then ran over to her, taking her slightly aged hand.
“Your grandmother is technically my junior. Hearing of her passing, I had to co and pay my respects both emotionally and rationally!”
During the conversation, Yu Huiping nodded towards Chen Mobai as a form of greeting.
“It’s so kind of True Person Yu to co all this way!”
Shi Wanyu bowed towards Yu Huiping on behalf of her parents, but the latter imdiately ca forward to stop her.
“No need for such formalities, no need…”
Seeing Yu Huiping repeat it twice, a bit overly courteous, Chen Mobai had Shi Wanyu fetch a stick of incense from the basket she carried on her wrist to hand over to Yu Huiping.
“Thank you.”
After receiving the incense, Yu Huiping thanked Shi Wanyu.
“True Person Yu, you’re too polite, please.”
Seeing that Shi Wanyu still seed to be in sorrow, Chen Mobai took over and led Yu Huiping to the elders’ tombstones.
After paying their respects, Yu Huiping was preparing to say goodbye, but Xiao Hei held onto her, saying that since she rarely ca by, she should stay and enjoy the visit.
“Of course, of course!”
After listening, Yu Huiping looked at Xiao Hei with affection and allowed her to hold her hand.
“Well then, do take good care of True Person Yu. I will go with your mother to your maternal grandparents’ old ho to tidy up so things.”
After instructing his daughter, Chen Mobai greeted both Yu Huiping and Yu Shijun, and then led Shi Wanyu towards Yu Wood City.
Watching Shi Wanyu obediently follow Chen Mobai, Yu Huiping hesitated, wanting to say more but stopping herself.
