Chen Mobai was accountable to his family, yet he failed her sincere feelings.
As ti passed, Yan Bingxuan increasingly realized how well he treated her.
Not to ntion the Golden Elixir Spiritual dicine, she knew exactly on whom Mysterious Frost Company depended to rise to the top ten of the Immortal Gate.
Without soone like Chen Mobai, who could hold his own behind the scenes, it would have been suppressed and annexed by other industry giants long ago.
Even Yunhai Master, the principal of the Nature Studies Academy, was exceptionally polite to her.
When the news of Shi Wanyu’s lifespan coming to an end and her passing spread, Yan Bingxuan felt very conflicted. She earnestly hoped Chen Mobai would co to her, signifying that she was his true love, and forming a family with that woman was rely for the sake of an unexpected daughter.
Yet, she also wished he wouldn’t seek her out, because that would an Chen Mobai was unfaithful and uncaring towards his family.
The truth proved that although Chen Mobai was a scoundrel, he was steadfast and reliable, with affection and commitnt.
As she aged, Yan Bingxuan’s resentnt towards Chen Mobai gradually faded, but she could never bring herself to contact him proactively.
Sotis she would feel upset inside, complaining about why Chen Mobai, after being single for so long, never thought of her.
A myriad of thoughts surged into her heart, and Yan Bingxuan, who had always been as cool as ice and as pure as jade, felt restless at the sight of Chen Mobai’s number.
But after what Yan Qiongzhi said, she ran out of excuses to convince herself, and she just couldn’t dial that number.
It seems there’s no way to renew the old relationship with him.
Thinking this, Yan Bingxuan turned her phone over, leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and a hint of tears sparkled at the corner of her eyes.
...
"Thank you, Principal, but what’s going on?"
In the principal’s office of the Nature Studies Academy, Yan Qiongzhi, hearing Yunhai Master’s words, showed a look of surprise, but a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.
"Soone put in a word for you, but being on the shortlist doesn’t an you’ll get it. The Xianwu Hall eting at the end of the year is crucial."
Yunhai Master didn’t elaborate further. Although certain matters were common knowledge in the Nascent Soul circle, they were still kept secret from those below.
Moreover, Chen Mobai is destined to reach Divinity Transformation.
"Among the Three Great Halls, I have already put in a good word for you with those related to the Nature Studies Academy. You should also network with so friends, although the chances are slim."
Yunhai Master did not want Yan Qiongzhi to be disappointed after having hopes, so he set the expectation in advance.
"Okay, Principal."
Yan Qiongzhi understood this as well.
After all, her competition would be at least with Immortal Sect disciples of her sa rank, and so were even direct lineage mbers of the Four Great Daoist Sects.
But having co this far, she certainly intended to give it another shot.
After leaving the principal’s office, Yan Qiongzhi called Wenren Xuewei again.
"I understand, and I’ll tell the people at Jumang Academy to speak up for you when the ti cos."
Wenren Xuewei was certainly willing to help out with such a small favor.
This ti Yan Qiongzhi made it to the shortlist not by using one of the Four Great Sects’ quotas but through an Immortal Gate substitution quota outside the Four Great Daoist Sects, to demonstrate fairness and justice.
However, the competition for this list was even fiercer.
After all, the Golden Elixir Spiritual dicine of the Four Great Daoist Sects faces competition only within themselves, but outside the Four, one must contend with all Perfect Core Formation cultivators from the Ten Great Academies and a hundred and twenty prefectures.
To secure this spot, even more influence and power were needed.
As Wenren Xuewei conversed with Yan Qiongzhi, her hands kept moving, brewing the Spiritual Tea Chen Mobai brought, with her fair, slender hands flowing like water.
"Thank you."
Chen Mobai took the cup of tea Wenren Xuewei handed over and spoke.
"I should be thanking you instead, for enabling to taste a kind of tea I’ve never seen before."
Wenren Xuewei held the Purple Mist Spirit Tea to her nose, inhaling its rich, llow fragrance with intoxication, gently sipping a tiny bit past her cherry-like lips.
Rank-4 Spirit Tea, even Nascent Soul cultivators from the Immortal Gate could not always have it.
"It was discovered on a wild mountain back ho, transplanted into the Domain and crossbred with various Spiritual Teas for over a century, barely drinkable now."
While speaking, Chen Mobai set down his emptied teacup, then reached out into the void and, with a grasp, brought out a tea seedling with soil from within the Domain.
"Here, this is a thank-you gift."
Without any fuss, Wenren Xuewei straightforwardly accepted the Purple Mist Tea Seed.
"Next ti sothing like this cos up, feel free to call on ."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
Taking into account Yan Bingxuan’s pride, he refrained from letting her make the request, yet he had already arranged everything for her.
Yan Qiongzhi being put on the shortlist was just a matter of a few words for him.
After all, the reason he and Ying Guanghua had the pretense of going into seclusion was because they held the power of deciding with a single word.
If Yan Bingxuan hadn’t actively sought him out, Chen Mobai wouldn’t have seen through this matter, but upon knowing, he was more than willing to exercise his influence for her benefit.
After ending the call with Yan Bingxuan, his first contact was Beiming Master.
However, after White Light Ancestor left, Beiming Master no longer bowed to him as he did before, and upon learning of his request, just as Yunhai Master had guessed, he wanted him to delay the Shocking God Sonata as a bargaining chip.
