As Zhuang Jialan stepped off the plane, she found that all the officials of the Immortal Gate in Wunai City were waiting for her at the airport.
Not far away, a huge banner was floating: [Welco Secretary-General Zhuang back ho]!
All around, many people noticed this scene, raising their phones, and many dia with long lenses and caras were present.
Zhuang Jialan felt an indescribable feeling, perhaps a bit of embarrassnt, yet inside, there was also a sense of pride.
She was quickly surrounded by the crowd, with the City Lord of Wunai City, Nie ngyan, expressing his honor and asking if she had plans to return and govern, to develop her hotown.
To this, Zhuang Jialan naturally shook her head and refused. Although she was just an ordinary secretary and Kaiyuan Hall councilor in Wangwu Cave Heaven, even the Three Great Hall Masters would politely nod to her.
Having witnessed the prosperity at the center of the Immortal Gate’s capital, she wouldn’t let herself be confined in the small shallow waters of Wunai City again.
At this mont, another person approached Zhuang Jialan with the brightest smile to greet her.
It was Guo Shaocan, who was an upper-level director from Huayang Cave Heaven during Zhuang Jialan’s tenure as the president of the Wunai City Talisman Maker Association.
During work, the two often had so discord.
This ti he personally ca to apologize, as he almost hindered Zhuang Jialan’s records, preventing her from going to Wangwu Cave Heaven.
After Guo Shaocan finished speaking, he was slightly sweating on his forehead.
He was given a dire order by the president of the Huayang Cave Heaven Talisman Maker Association, that if Zhuang Jialan did not express forgiveness, he should prepare for retirent.
After all, Zhuang Jialan was currently following the Vice Hall Master of the Hall of Orthodox Law, and judging by the current political situation, it wouldn’t be long before she could beco the actual Hall Master.
As Chen Mobai’s closest secretary at work, Zhuang Jialan could easily find an excuse, and even the president of the Huayang Cave Heaven Talisman Maker could be implicated and "retired".
Upon hearing about Zhuang Jialan’s return ho, Guo Shaocan was sent over imdiately.
Guo Shaocan had even prepared to resign voluntarily after apologizing, but to his surprise, Zhuang Jialan responded lightly, "It’s all just for work."
After speaking, Zhuang Jialan left the airport surrounded by the crowd.
At Zhuang Jialan’s level, such small grievances had long been overlooked.
However, if she didn’t say this line, those below would rember it for life, living in fear every day.
Is this what power is?
Zhuang Jialan suddenly had a profound realization.
Upon returning ho, since her parents and relatives had already passed away, only a few cousins brought their families to visit.
And facing Zhuang Jialan, they were visibly nervous.
"Study hard, strive to get into the Daoist Academy, a good university can change your life!"
Zhuang Jialan said softly and kindly to a seven or eight-year-old niece with the best talent, who nodded in daze under her parents’ guidance.
This was also Zhuang Jialan’s deepest understanding in this lifeti.
Her achievents today were solely because she got into the Dance Tool Dao Academy, coincidentally being in the sa class as Chen Mobai.
Because of this, she believed the Immortal Gate’s promotion that education transforms fate was the ultimate truth.
...
"Why did you co back so quickly?"
While flipping through the formation textbooks of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute at ho, Chen Mobai was a bit surprised to see Zhuang Jialan reporting back so soon, and asked.
"My hotown is small, and there aren’t many relatives, three days were enough."
Zhuang Jialan replied with a smile and handed over a box of specialties she brought from ho to Chen Mobai.
"Why be so polite..."
Chen Mobai said, but he had already taken the box and opened it. His grandfather had taught him since childhood that receiving gifts could make alliances more intimate.
"These are talisman paper and talisman ink special to Wunai City..."
Zhuang Jialan majored in talisman making at the Dance Tool Dao Academy because her hotown had a strong talisman-making culture. Her parents worked at a talisman factory, much like Chen Mobai, but she had been practicing talisman making with defective talisman paper and ink since childhood.
"In a while, I have a friend coming to Wangwu Cave Heaven to exchange for the Water Elent Golden Core Pill. I have a special status and it’s inconvenient to appear in public, could you please go and et her for then?"
Chen Mobai was referring to Yan Bingxuan, and since Zhuang Jialan was ticulous, he was reassured.
After Zhuang Jialan left.
Chen Mobai also went to the Nature Studies Academy mainly, under the guise of consulting Yunhai Master on the Kunpeng Daoist Institute’s Fifth Rank Formation, to inform Yan Bingxuan about this matter, who also understood.
"Do you think I will succeed in core formation this ti?"
After a night of turbulent waves, Yan Bingxuan lay in Chen Mobai’s arms, sowhat anxious.
"I believe you can definitely do it."
Chen Mobai held her hand and said with a determined face.
"Yes, with the Water Elent Golden Core Pill, plus those Water Spirit Pearls and Heavenly blue ice jade you gave before, if I still can’t succeed, I’d be wasting your efforts."
Yan Bingxuan also felt asking this question was sowhat inappropriate and was cheering for herself.
Speaking, as her divine sense moved, the Ice Marrow Pure Jade that Chen Mobai had given to her before fell from her domain.
