I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2931 - 1370: Central Registration

Upon listening to Gao Tian, Lao Xiaoyu finally understood why Chen Mobai wouldn’t let go of such trivial matters after Cultivating Void; it turns out his disciple had embezzled so much.

"You wicked thing, unworthy to be my disciple!" Lao Xiaoyu was furious, and if Huo Gaoyuan hadn’t stopped him, he would’ve torn Gao Tian apart on the spot.

"I’ll take him to Wangxing to apologize to Mr. Chen, and you will accompany me. We need to explain this clearly in front of Senior Brother Cheng." Huo Gaoyuan hadn’t forgotten his reason for coming to Fushang Star, suppressed Gao Tian, and spoke warily to Lao Xiaoyu.

He began to suspect Lao Xiaoyu might want to silence them, as without Gao Tian, he would have no defense when returning to Wangxing.

"Indeed, this needs to be clarified face-to-face with a proper apology."

Lao Xiaoyu saw Huo Gaoyuan’s look and understood.

Thinking about Gao Tian embezzling a Dao Merit made his head ache slightly.

He knew Gao Tian spent all his life savings on the Xuanxu Pill. Now, even if he pooled everything, it probably wouldn’t amount to one Dao Merit. If they manage to get through Cheng Yunlan and Chen Mobai’s side, he’ll have to advance the compensation himself.

Considering the situation also involved Huo Gaoyuan, Lao Xiaoyu immediately transmitted a message to him.

[Prepare tenfold compensation first.]

Little did he know, Huo Gaoyuan was blunt, directly causing Lao Xiaoyu to suffer a huge loss.

[Isn’t that too much?]

Lao Xiaoyu cursed Huo Gaoyuan inwardly; so many Dao Merits would take up nearly half of his assets.

[It’s the rule for apologies, and Mr. Chen, being a Cultivator of the Innate Saintly Virtue Great Dao, must be of high character. By showing a humble attitude, he might just forgive and not accept them.]

After hearing Huo Gaoyuan’s words, Lao Xiaoyu found them reasonable.

Moreover, the matter indeed involved him a bit, so he sighed and prepared the Dao Merits.

...

"Then I won’t decline out of courtesy."

On Wangxing, after Huo Gaoyuan and Lao Xiaoyu reported the investigation results to Cheng Yunlan, the latter immediately expressed his apology, and Chen Mobai accepted without hesitation.

Lao Xiaoyu’s lips twitched, feeling pained, but in front of Cheng Yunlan, he had to manage a smile, offering the ten Daoist Talismans he had just exchanged from the bank to Chen Mobai, who accepted with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, regarding Gao Tian, how do you think it should be handled?"

At this moment, Cheng Yunlan asked a question, showing great respect for Chen Mobai.

"Gao Tian’s failure in Cultivating Void is likely his retribution, but heaven has a virtue for the good, and since Lao has compensated, I won’t pursue it further."

Chen Mobai originally intended only to retrieve his embezzled Dao Merit from Gao Tian, not to do anything else. Now received tenfold compensation, plus the fact that it concerned Xuanhu Dojo’s people, he let the matter go.

Cheng Yunlan pondered for a moment, then told Lv Jing next to him, "Announce throughout Xuanhu Dojo’s inner Star Domain that all of Gao Tian’s positions will be removed, never to be employed again."

Huo Gaoyuan and Lao Xiaoyu were both relieved upon hearing this.

This meant the matter was settled; they were vindicated, and all blame lay with the true culprit, Gao Tian.

Thinking of the ten Dao Merits, Lao Xiaoyu internally planned to confiscate Gao Tian’s family assets for compensation once he brought him back to Fushang Star.

However, as a mere herbal trader, likely having paid for Gao Tian’s Xuanxu Pill before, he probably can’t repay the loss of ten Dao Merits. But the Gao Family still exists, generation after generation; eventually, it can be repaid.

"Many thanks to Mr. Chen for your tolerance. Elders, I’ll take the wicked disciple back now."

Seeing Huo Gaoyuan’s sign, Lao Xiaoyu feared Cheng Yunlan might recalibrate his liabilities in managing Fushang Star poorly after sending off Chen Mobai, promptly said his goodbye.

"This guy usually stays in the Alchemy Room practicing alchemy, leaving everything to others, hence his disciple’s misconduct. I think if Fushang Star births a new Cultivating Void, he could be replaced..."

Once Lao Xiaoyu left, Huo Gaoyuan immediately reported to Cheng Yunlan, indicating Lao Xiaoyu also bore joint responsibility along with the usual indulgent and absent Gao Tian for Chen Mobai’s temporary registration mishaps.

"Hmm, I’ve noted it down. During the millennium assessment, I’ll mention this to Master." Cheng Yunlan nodded.

Ideally, all Cultivating Void Town Guards of Xuanhu Dojo’s planets within the Star System should report to Xuanhu Daojun, but in reality, such trivial matters are not his concern; people like Cheng Yunlan, a few direct disciples, decide things.

So, Huo Gaoyuan felt at ease.

"Daoist Friend, here are the Sixth Rank Cave Dwellings currently vacant on Wangxing. Which one do you like?"

After handling Gao Tian’s issue, Cheng Yunlan waved his hand, and a phantom planet appeared in the room. It was Wangxing, with all its mountain ranges and water regions vividly detailed, not to mention the various buildings and Cave Dwellings.

Chen Mobai saw that closer to the Central Mansion, only a few Cave Dwellings were vacant, and their Spirit Vein Level wasn’t very high, at most Sixth Rank Middle Grade.

"Daoist Friend, forgive me. With good locations, most have masters. If you can wait a bit longer, the lease of these seven Cave Dwellings will soon expire. Then I might persuade them not to renew..."
