Chapter 1365 - 1365 741 Conversation Along the Way (7K)

Chapter 1365: Chapter 741: Conversation Along the Way (7K) Chapter 1365: Chapter 741: Conversation Along the Way (7K) Chen Mobai suppressed the indescribable emotions that surged inside him and, looking at the lively young girl smiling and squinting her eyes as she spoke to him, suddenly felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

“Uncle Chen, it’s about time for me to go, I need to catch the train, so I’ll leave now.”

About an hour later, the girl checked the time on her phone screen, and got up, ready to bid farewell.

Chen Mobai opened his mouth, wanting to ask her to stay, but couldn’t think of an excuse.

“How about having breakfast before you go?”

Just then, Tang Panchui, who was in the kitchen, heard the stir and came out. She had just finished preparing breakfast and immediately invited the girl over.

“This…”

Xiao Hei hesitated and was about to refuse when Chen Mobai spoke.

“Have something to eat before you go, it won’t delay you much, I’ll personally take you to the station.”

Although it felt a bit abrupt, since Chen Mobai, a Golden Core Master, had spoken, Xiao Hei could only nod her head and expressed her gratitude to Tang Panchui.

“Son, here are the car keys, but you haven’t driven in decades, maybe I should take you later.”

While the family of four was eating breakfast, Chen Xinglan spoke.

After hearing this, Chen Mobai was about to shake his head and refuse, but quickly remembered something and nodded.

Although his driver’s license had been unused for decades, with his current learning abilities, especially with his expertise in the Guidance Book, he could master driving to the highest level in the blink of an eye.

However, he remembered that he also had matters to attend to in Yu Wood City, so it would be convenient to go with Xiao Hei in the same car later.

It would be a good opportunity for Chen Xinglan to give them a ride.

“Grandma, we’ll be going now. Goodbye Uncle Chen, and thanks a lot, Grandpa Chen!”

After finishing breakfast, Xiao Hei very politely said goodbye to all three, wishing them well.

“Ah, I also have some matters to handle at Qing Sang Academy, which train are you taking?”

Chen Mobai’s question surprised the three people who were present.

Especially Chen Xinglan and Tang Panchui, who hadn’t seen Chen Mobai take initiative to deal with Qing Sang Academy’s affairs in recent years, as issues were usually resolved over the phone in just a few words.

“What’s the matter that requires the principal himself to go?”

Tang Panchui was worried that something serious had happened.

“Recently, Mysterious Frost Company has hit a bottleneck in its development. I’m planning to again expand the enrollment scale for the Yuanqi system because I’m afraid the staff won’t handle it seriously; I need to oversee it personally.”

Chen Mobai made up an excuse; the last time he interfered with the operation of Qing Sang Academy was to cultivate a reserve force for Yan Bingxuan’s company by adding the Yuanqi system into the academy’s curriculum.

Now, he could only use this excuse.

Mainly because he was completely clueless about the official affairs of Yu Wood City, and Xiao Hei, being a public servant, might detect any ulterior motives if he gave a bureaucratic excuse.

“It’s the xxxx, I think there were no compartments left when I previously booked.”

As they talked, Chen Xinglan had driven the car out from the garage. Xiao Hei was just about to handle her large suitcase and open the trunk, but Chen Mobai was already steps ahead.

“Thank you, Uncle Chen!”

Xiao Hei sat in the back seat, and upon seeing Chen Mobai place the luggage and seat himself in the passenger’s seat, she immediately expressed her gratitude.

“As expected, there are no private compartments left.”

Chen Mobai used his own phone to book tickets and found, as Xiao Hei had mentioned, there were none available.

“The train should have spare compartments; with your status, Uncle, the attendants should be able to prepare one for you.”

Xiao Hei suggested this, but Chen Mobai immediately shook his head, continuing to humble himself in front of her.

“I’ve always disliked luxury; I don’t want to trouble the attendants. Let’s just get a standing ticket and stand in the aisle for a while.”

Chen Mobai conveyed his image as a Golden Core Master and a Kaiyuan Hall Councilor, yet humble and loving towards the people.

“Then, why don’t I give my compartment seat to you, Uncle, and I’ll sit in the dining car? It won’t be for long.”

Chen Mobai couldn’t possibly accept this and shook his head again, showing that he wasn’t such a person.

“If you don’t mind, Uncle, you can join me in my compartment?”

Chen Mobai, who had been waiting for this invitation, suppressed the urge to nod immediately, pretended to consider thoughtfully for a moment, then reluctantly nodded.

“Traveling with this old man for a journey, I hope you don’t mind.”

“Not at all, Uncle, you look very young. Considering your realm, you’re just like a youth of seventeen or eighteen.”

Hearing this, Chen Mobai looked at his excessively young face in the rearview mirror. Even his mature hairstyle and outfit couldn’t mask his vibrant, youthful vigor.

“Hahahaha!”

He couldn’t help but laugh out loud, a response he wouldn’t have had if anyone else had said the same thing.

Soon, they arrived at the station.

After helping Xiao Hei with her large suitcase, Chen Mobai thought about how to properly provide her with a Storage Artifact.

“What is your Cultivation Level now? Have you tried to open a Domain?”

After saying goodbye to Chen Xinglan, Chen Mobai, with gentleman-like grace, pushed the luggage cart alongside Xiao Hei as they entered the security checkpoint, asking as they walked.

“I just broke through to the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment, but because I still need to cultivate the Technique for Enhancing Spiritual Roots, my progress has been delayed for a while. Regarding the Domain, I last opened it just seven years ago. I guess it might still take another ten to twenty years before I can open it again.”
