Chapter 907: Chapter 501 Return to Hometown_2 Chapter 907: Chapter 501 Return to Hometown_2 “That’s good,”
Chen Mobai nodded gently, then suddenly stopped. His eyes warmly gazed at Qing Women, who also turned her head in curiosity. In the instant their eyes met, her pretty face blushed involuntarily, and she lowered her head.
Qing Women, “What’s the matter?”
Chen Mobai didn’t respond. Instead, he extended his right index finger and lightly tapped his temple, then drew out a “Divine Consciousness Thread” filled with his mental intentions from the Sea of Knowledge at his Purple Palace.
Afterward, he reached out and took hold of Qing Women’s snow-white, delicate left hand. She symbolically struggled a little before letting him hold it.
Qing Women’s heart thudded wildly, thinking she might finally hear that awaited answer–whether she should agree immediately or pretend to wait a bit longer–when Chen Mobai’s “Divine Consciousness Thread” lightly tapped on the door of her heart.
Only the closest of relations in the Immortal Gate would communicate in this way, with heart and mind completely open to each other.
Qing Women hesitated for a moment, but then quickly let down her guard, allowing Chen Mobai’s “Divine Consciousness Thread” to enter her own Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Palace.
“If you need anything, call me,”
After the exchange of heart and mind, Chen Mobai spoke again with a calm tone.
But by this time, Qing Women had already realized the heavy significance behind these words.
It signified that Chen Mobai was very likely to confront other Golden Core Masters because of her, and might even face the dark forces hidden at the very top of the Immortal Gate.
Just as Chen Mobai released her hand and turned to leave, Qing Women suddenly rushed forward and hugged him from behind, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke.
“Promise me, you won’t investigate this matter because of me, okay?”
Feeling the softness of the beautiful woman behind him, Chen Mobai was puzzled. When had he said he would investigate this matter for Qing Women?
He had merely told her about what Lan Haitian had said, to be careful within the Sky-Mending Group, so as not to be used by others as a pretext to confront the two Golden Core Masters from Red Sandstone City.
Could it be that his words had caused a misunderstanding?
Chen Mobai, “Don’t worry, have you forgotten that I graduated from the Dance Tool Dao Academy? Besides the headmaster, Master Chengxuan, we also have Ancestor Baiguang…”
Qing Women, “You don’t have to give up a promising future for my sake, choosing to go to Yu Wood City.”
As Chen Mobai was speaking, Qing Women suddenly started to sob slightly, her emotions getting the better of her and interrupting him.
Chen Mobai, “The main reason I’m going to Yu Wood City is that it’s close to home; it’s not as complicated as you think…”
Qing Women, “I know, you’re saying this to reassure me. I really don’t deserve you sacrificing so much for me, wuu wuu wuu…”
“You’ve really misunderstood.” Before Chen Mobai could voice these words, Qing Women’s sobs had escalated into loud crying.
One clear teardrop after another slid down her pale cheeks, soaking the back of Chen Mobai’s clothes.
At this point, Chen Mobai felt that no matter what he said, she wouldn’t be able to hear him. Although it was raining, since they were cultivators, there were still quite a few people around the commercial street; they stopped to watch, and some even pulled out their phones to start recording.
Damn!
It was only then that Chen Mobai remembered that he was somewhat of a celebrity.
He immediately wrapped himself and the crying Qing Women with “Red Misty Cloud Silk” and left.
Observing the somewhat off-kilter emotional state of Qing Women, Chen Mobai could only cancel his ticket for leaving that day and booked the hotel for another day.
That day, Qing Women cried for a long time in his embrace, as though she had released all the repression and emotions that had built up in her heart for over twenty years since Kong Feichen and Yang Jing had been taken away.
Chen Mobai put himself in her shoes for a moment. His two closest people had been taken away by a heretical cult, and even though he was within an Immortal Gate, he had never been trusted. Ever since graduating from the Daoist Academy, his body and soul had been trapped within the Sky-Mending Group, constantly under surveillance.
He felt that he could only endure such a life for a few years at most before he would inevitably flee to the Tianhe Realm.
But Qing Women had persevered until now, simply because the Sky-Mending Group had the most comprehensive intelligence on the Ascension Sect, so she could get news about her younger siblings at the first possible moment.
The night grew deep.
And at some point, Qing Women, tired from crying, had fallen asleep in Chen Mobai’s arms.
He didn’t dare to move, watching the delicate visage marred by tear-tracks after her crying spell, he reached out to tuck a few strands of hair that had fallen to the corner of her mouth, his fingertips grazing her snow-white, fine cheek, unable to resist softly brushing across it.
This action seemed to have awoken Qing Nu, she rubbed her eyes and, upon seeing Chen Mobai’s tender gaze, she relaxed, shifted her position and fell asleep again.
Within the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai came from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, had his full family around him, friends all across the world; everyone wanted to be his friend.
But for Qing Nu, the Heavenly Spiritual Root of the Jumang Academy, Chen Mobai was the only friend with whom she could be completely open and honest.
It was only when she was with Chen Mobai that she would completely let her guard down.
Qing Nu slept for a very long time, not waking up until the next day in the late afternoon.
“I apologize, it’s been a long time since I’ve had such a relaxing sleep.”
Hearing this, Chen Mobai felt a twinge of heartache.
Qing Nu had told him that when resting within the Sky-Mending Group, she would only dare to close one eye at a time and was always on high alert.
“Maybe I should speak with Lan Haitian and have you leave the Sky-Mending Group. Come with me to Yu Wood City,”
Chen Mobai said impulsively, which made Qing Nu’s eyes light up with a touch of emotion, but she quickly shook her head and looked down apologetically.
“I’m sorry, I can’t let go of Little Dust and Little Scenery.”
When Chen Mobai heard that she didn’t agree, he actually felt a sense of relief inside.
Bringing Qing Nu back to Yu Wood City would mark him as someone to watch out for, even if he didn’t want to investigate the matter, and might inadvertently alert whoever was behind the scenes.
“There’s no need to apologize; I respect all of your decisions.”
These words from Chen Mobai moved Qing Nu even more, and amidst her gentle sobs, tears glistened in her eyes again.
By the time the two of them parted ways, it was the morning of the next day.
Qing Nu escorted Chen Mobai to the airport entrance, only turning back reluctantly, three steps at a time, after his figure had disappeared, heading back to the Sky-Mending Group.
…
[Warm welcome to True Person Chen Mobai’s glorious return home!]
As soon as he got out of the airport, Chen Mobai saw huge banners with this message. The City Lord of Red Sandstone City, Qin Baipeng, was there personally with leaders from various departments waiting for him.
Standing beside Qin Baipeng, naturally, were Chen Xinglan and Tang Panchui.
“Why go to so much trouble? I’m just visiting my hometown for a bit before I head over to take up my post in Yu Wood City,”
Chen Mobai said, pointing to the crowd on the outskirts, the exaggerated banners, and even the support signs with his image on them–a treatment surpassing even that of the biggest stars–then he shook his head.
His words made Qin Baipeng hurry to explain that it was the citizens who came to welcome him on their own initiative, showing their pride in True Person Chen Mobai, not something officially organized by them.
Chen Mobai took it for a spontaneous event, having no intention of walking a populist path. After waving to the throng outside, he left the airport with Qin Baipeng and the others.
The banquet seemed unavoidable, with Tang Panchui insisting, and Qin Baipeng among others fanning the flames, Chen Mobai’s return home after Core Formation dominated Red Sandstone City’s headlines for three days and nights.
After entertaining colleagues from the Immortal Gate, local Foundation Establishment cultivators, employees from various departments, as well as family and friends who had heard the news and come running, Chen Mobai finally got a break.
His grandfather Tang Lu also brought half the village to Red Sandstone City, as they all claimed some relation to them.
This was Tang Panchui’s home field–she was the most excited person since Chen Mobai’s return. She personally tended to every guest, even wanting to meet Chen Mobai’s classmates.
Following the never-ending banquet, her excitement didn’t dwindle, as she began frequenting the square where she regularly went dancing. Since Chen Mobai had hit the headlines, whenever someone mentioned it, she would nonchalantly add, “Did you know my son achieved Core Formation?”
Chen Mobai stayed in Red Sandstone City for a while, visited by a constant stream of people every day.
Feeling overwhelmed, he considered heading to Yu Wood City sooner, when he suddenly got a call from an unexpected person.
“You little rascal, growing wings now? You come back home after achieving Core Formation and don’t come to pay respects to this local snake,”
Chen Mobai’s expression became slightly odd as he listened to Yu Tianguang’s words over the phone.
