I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2655 - 1217: Boosting and Sugar Mamas_2

Although Chen Mobai and his daughter, Chen Xiaohei, were not officially dating, he decided it would be safer to transfer Chen Xingxing out of the Sky Curtain Ground Network Management Bureau to prevent any potential entanglements. His reasoning was that after the relocation, they wouldn't see each other. Furthermore, Chen Xingxing's Core Formation cultivation would take considerable time, inevitably leading to them losing contact. This situation would allow Chen Xiaohei to find someone else to spend her time with, thereby effectively nipping any budding issues in the bud.

It wasn't that Chen Mobai wished for his daughter to lead a lonely existence. However, having personally experienced the hardships caused by Bai Guang, he was determined to prevent his daughter's future marriage from being marred by the judgmental stares of others.

"Really!"

Upon hearing Chen Mobai's well-laid plans, Chen Xingxing's eyes sparkled with immediate enthusiasm, showing no signs of hesitation. Despite his usual obsession with gaming, he undeniably craved advancements in his cultivation.

Especially after achieving Core Formation, his lifespan would extend significantly, affording him more time for his beloved games.

The primary reason he had willingly relinquished what he considered the ultimate job—a gatekeeper security officer—to join the Sky Curtain Ground Network Management Bureau was to accumulate sufficient work experience to earn a Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine.

Chen Xingxing then exclaimed, "Oh, I just remembered! Didn't we refine a batch of Golden Liquid Jade Pill last year? According to the rules, we should wait a few more years before opening the furnace. It should be the Five Elements Golden Core Pill."

To this, Chen Mobai merely offered a gentle smile and offered a plausible excuse: "Following the successful pioneering war on Mingwang Star, the resource control within the Immortal Gate will gradually be relaxed. You needn't trouble yourself about it; I will personally arrange it for you."

After hearing this, Chen Xingxing was overjoyed. "Thank you, Headmaster."

"You are a student of my Daoist Academy, and I have watched you grow. Naturally, I will assist you."

Witnessing Chen Xingxing fall precisely into his carefully constructed trap, Chen Mobai promptly rose from his seat with a triumphant smile, personally escorting the young man out of his office.

"Once you receive the official notice from Xianwu Hall, submit Xing's pertinent documents according to the established procedures. Zijing will cooperate fully," Chen Mobai instructed Yunyang Bing. The latter immediately nodded in agreement. Subsequently, the duo proceeded to a repair facility for an abandoned satellite. With a mere wave of his hand, Chen Mobai utilized his Law Domain to meticulously pack the salvaged satellite components.

The moment Chen Mobai departed, Yunyang Bing dutifully updated the inventory list, marking the items as "destroyed."

Seven days later, the esteemed Three Great Halls jointly issued a public announcement, declaring their intention to refine an additional batch of Golden Liquid Jade Pill within the current year. This extraordinary measure was ostensibly to identify and nurture more promising young talents.

This unexpected decision left many influential forces utterly perplexed. However, given that it had been unanimously approved by the Three Great Hall Masters, the more astute observers correctly surmised that the influential figure of a Deity Transformation-level cultivator must be involved.

Wisely, everyone chose not to pry further into the matter. Regardless of the underlying reasons, it was certain that a portion of the coveted Golden Liquid Jade Pill would be distributed among the waiting public employees, a development that was understandably met with great excitement by those eagerly anticipating their turn.

Thanks to Chen Mobai's machinations, the normally stagnant Xianwu Hall experienced an unprecedented surge of activity. Under the diligent urging of Vice Hall Master Lan Haitian, medicinal materials were procured with remarkable speed, and Yuan Xu was promptly invited to undertake the refining process.

Meanwhile, Chen Xiaohei had temporarily suspended her investigation into her father's extramarital affair following Chen Mobai's unexpected return home after concluding his cultivation retreat.

She was acutely aware that her surroundings were teeming with her father's loyal informants. Any unusual activity on her part would undoubtedly be reported to Aunt Zijing, who would, in turn, inform her father. Consequently, her interactions with Chen Xingxing were restricted solely to their official working hours.

She maintained a private office, and as the bureau chief of the Forestry Administration, her workload was relatively light, allowing her to spend her days engrossed in dramas and online videos. More recently, she had even begun playing games to establish common ground for conversations with Chen Xingxing. She would discreetly slip away during work hours, her subordinates remaining completely unaware of her comings and goings.

Back at their residence in Wangwu Cave Heaven, Chen Mobai and his daughter were meticulously enacting their respective roles, maintaining the pretense of ignorance.

Chen Mobai feigned unawareness of his daughter's gaming addiction, even going so far as to designate Qian Xing Ancestor as her gaming companion.

Conversely, Chen Xiaohei pretended not to know that her father had fathered an illegitimate child who was now stationed within the department of Yunhai True Monarch, under the watchful eye of Uncle Yunyang Bing.

While both father and daughter were engrossed in their own clandestine schemes, Chen Xiaohei also managed to gain access to the allocation list for the newly refined Golden Liquid Jade Pill from the Immortal Gate.

Her heart skipped a beat when she spotted Chen Xingxing's name prominently featured on the list, instantly understanding the underlying reason.

"It seems Dad emerged from his retreat much faster this time because my brother's cultivation has reached Core Formation!"

After reviewing the list, Chen Xiaohei silently pondered this realization.

Chen Mobai had spent less than two months in seclusion, citing the investigation of the Three Eyed Tribe as his reason. This was an unusually brief period for a Deity Transformation True Monarch.

It was therefore entirely understandable why Chen Xiaohei had arrived at her conclusion.

With his daughter having a tendency to sneak off during work hours, Chen Mobai felt compelled to implement preventative measures.

"True Monarch, regarding the Forestry Administration, we genuinely lack suitable personnel aside from your daughter. Perhaps we could consult Principal Wenren? Their group predominantly hails from the Jumang Lineage..."

Chen Mobai summoned his long-time subordinate, Hua Zijing, to discuss the matter while Chen Xiaohei was occupied with work. Upon hearing the suggestion, Hua Zijing offered it with a slight hesitation.

"Wenren Xuewei? Absolutely not. She must remain uninformed about this particular affair."

Chen Mobai firmly shook his head. He was concerned that if Wenren Xuewei became involved, her astute intellect might uncover the truth, even if he didn't explicitly state his reasons.

Furthermore, he felt involving her wouldn't be a dignified approach to managing his daughter.

He withheld the true motive from Hua Zijing, merely explaining that his daughter had become excessively engrossed in games, consequently neglecting her cultivation, which he deemed unacceptable. Therefore, he desired someone within the unit to meticulously document his daughter's daily schedule, which he could later use for father-daughter discussions.

"In that case, we can only attempt to arrange it. Currently, the Forestry Administration is fully staffed. To discreetly place a member of our lineage, it might necessitate a gradual rotation of existing personnel."

Acting as a professional secretary, Hua Zijing promptly devised a solution aligned with Chen Mobai's wishes.

"That seems to be the only viable path. I apologize for the inconvenience," Chen Mobai stated.

"Nonsense, True Monarch, such formalities are entirely unnecessary."

Following their discussion, Hua Zijing commenced the selection of suitable candidates from the Weapon Dancing Sect's personnel roster, as per Chen Mobai's initial directive. However, Chen Mobai mused that staff from the Weapon Dancing Sect might be too conspicuous and expressed a preference for personnel from the Scholarly Mansion instead.

Consequently, Hua Zijing diligently began re-evaluating the available candidates.

However, at this precise moment, Chen Mobai received distressing news.

His former high school classmate, Song Zheng, had tragically passed away.

This somber intelligence was conveyed to him by Yan Bingxuan.

Song Zheng's wife, Mo Simin, happened to be Yan Bingxuan's closest friend, and they maintained frequent contact even after all these years.

Upon hearing the news, Chen Mobai felt it was imperative to pay his respects.

After all, the number of familiar faces was steadily dwindling.

Reflecting on the past, that cohort of high school classmates, including his former desk mate Lu Hongsheng, who hadn't even achieved Foundation Establishment, had all perished over a century prior. Now, it was Song Zheng's generation, the Foundation Establishment practitioners, who were departing.

The last time Chen Mobai had encountered Song Zheng was at the Heavenly Book Academy. Song Zheng had successfully established his Foundation within the Military Department, subsequently returning to serve as an instructor at the Heavenly Book Academy. He had settled with his family in Weiyu Cave Heaven.

Upon Chen Mobai's arrival, Mo Simin, leaning on the arm of a fair-complexioned woman with tear-streaked eyes, came forward to greet him.

"Greetings, Pure Yang True Monarch!"

"There's no need for such rigid formalities between us."

Gazing at the visibly aged Mo Simin before him, Chen Mobai was deeply struck by the relentless passage of time.

Mo Simin could be considered fortunate, having successfully undergone a second Foundation Establishment, and her family life had been one of contentment.

However, it was an unfortunate reality that the limit of lifespan was an inescapable fate, even for a Deity Transformation True Monarch.

Their shared experience as classmates placed them as peers. Song Zheng had just departed, leaving Mo Simin with merely a few years remaining herself.

"This is my daughter, Song Sisi..."

Mo Simin introduced her daughter with a trembling voice, gesturing towards the woman standing beside her.

"I had heard from Brother Song about your remarkably talented daughter," Chen Mobai remarked.

As he spoke, Chen Mobai offered a gentle nod to the fair-complexioned woman, who respectfully acknowledged his greeting in return.
