I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 634: Chapter 403: Ownership of the Purple Electric Sword_3

Seeing him arrive, Zhuang Jialan breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the pile of files she had been accumulating.

With the end of the term approaching, many things needed to be arranged in advance. Particularly important were the annual event of activating the “Device Nurturing Sphere” at the end of the year, and scheduling classes for the next year.

“Where is that kid, Zhongli Tianyu?”

While reviewing the files, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered the successor he had appointed. He had planned to retire by the end of the year. Why was he still so busy?

“He complained about dealing with lots of odds and ends. He quit after half a year.”

Upon hearing Zhuang Jialan’s words, Chen Mobai was so angry that he snapped the pen in his hand.

“Where is he now? To achieve the great Dao, one can’t be so lacking in perseverance…”

“I think he’s deep in the Treasure Trove, cultivating with Senior Bi.”

Zhuang Jialan’s words left Chen Mobai foggy. When did those two become so close?

After dealing with the accumulated Student Council’s work, Chen Mobai was about to go to the depths of the Treasure Trove to find Zhongli Tianyu, intending to convince him to take over his responsibilities.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar face in the student council.

“Why is she here?”

From a window, Chen Mobai looked at Meng Huang who just walked into the door, and couldn’t help asking Zhuang Jialan who was standing behind him.

“Senior Meng has accumulated a hundred credits and exchanged them for a Device Piece. She wanted to create an Ancient Zither Class Magical Instrument, so she came to our Student Council’s Map of Treasures for reference. She has been coming frequently over the past year.”

Zhuang Jialan, who replaced the graduating Hua Zijing as secretary, is becoming more and more competent, even aware of these little things.

“Why didn’t she ask me?”

The moment these words came out of Chen Mobai’s mouth, he remembered receiving a text message from Meng Huang at the end of last year. But he had been busy consuming the Enlightenment Tea at that time, so he put it to the back of his mind.

Because of too many things going on afterwards, he completely forgot about it.

“My oversight. Jialan, invite Senior Meng up… Nevermind, I’ll go greet her myself.”

Chen Mobai felt guilty for neglecting Meng Huang. He decided to set aside the matter of bringing back Zhongli Tianyu for the moment, and went down to have a chat with his long-lost senior.

“I didn’t expect the busy person like you would remember me.”

As soon as Chen Mobai greeted Meng Huang, she couldn’t help but tease him.

“Not at all. Every time I return to the Daoist Academy, I look up at your home but never dare to disturb you. So, when I saw you here today, I was truly overjoyed.”

Chen Mobai apologized politely. Upon hearing his words, the corner of Meng Huang’s mouth lifted slightly, as if she smiled.

She was already beautiful, but now a faint blush appeared on her face. Coupled with her lovely eyes and her fair skin, she was incomparably stunning.

“Did you spot any ‘Device Nurturing Sphere’ that you like? I’m pretty good at treasure appraisal, I could give you a hand.”

As Chen Mobai was speaking, he invited Meng Huang to his office. She politely nodded in acceptance.

Zhuang Jialan and Lu Tiansuan, who managed the Map of Treasures, exchanged glances. Thinking of their president’s reputation, Zhuang Jialan couldn’t help but whisper to Lu Tiansuan after they went upstairs.

“Don’t spread this around. Even though the president’s reputation isn’t great when it comes to relationships, as his subordinates, we should cover for him when we can.”

“Do I look like a gossip to you?”

Lu Tiansuan nodded his head, promising that he would keep it a secret.

Chen Mobai was completely unaware that his image in the minds of his subordinates had already been firmly established. He had a small sofa by the window in his office. After inviting Meng Huang to sit down, he personally brewed a pot of tea for her.

“Try this, Senior. It’s a specialty I brought back from Jumang Daoist Academy. It’s said to be good for a woman’s skin and helps rejuvenate one’s appearance.”
