Chapter 1605: Chapter 802: Meeting the Divinity Transformation_3

It just so happens that when Shi Wanyu and her daughter arrive in the future, they still won’t have a place to stay, so indeed, an estate is necessary.

Although Chen Mobai was very willing deep down, outwardly he appeared highly reserved, insisting that everything must follow proper procedures and that no special privileges should be granted on his behalf.

In response, the department head immediately patted his chest and assured that the acquisition of rights to that estate would be handled perfectly within legal compliance, placing it under Councilor Chen’s name.

After all, the immortal gate’s rules do stipulate that the housing department is obligated to provide accommodations for Nascent Soul cultivators from the Three Great Halls.

Amid the crowd’s escort, Chen Mobai walked to the entrance of Xianwu Hall.

A black-and-red car had already stopped at the door, and Hua Zijing, tall and poised with a brisk demeanor, stood by the car and opened the door promptly upon seeing Chen Mobai approach.

“Well then, I will take my leave first. Councilor Wang, please take the time to foster good communication with my colleagues.”

Chen Mobai gave Wang Xinfu instructions, then stepped into the car.

“Councilor Chen, come along.”

Pei Qingshuang called out, and upon hearing her, Chen Mobai waved at her before entering the car himself.

As the crowd watched the exquisite Pei Qingshuang enter the rear seat with Chen Mobai and shut the door, they couldn’t help but feel the two were a perfect match.

The Dance Instruments and Jumang sects had been allies for thousands of years.

No one knew whether they’d be willing to solidify the alliance further.

When they thought about how the two wield the Purple and Green Double Swords, the crowd was increasingly convinced that the future of the Three Great Halls would belong to Chen Mobai.

Just as the car started moving, before it even left the gates of Xianwu Hall, Chen Mobai intended to talk to Pei Qingshuang, but Lan Haitian’s call came through.

Chen Mobai decided to give him some face and answered the call.

“Palace Master Ying wants to invite you to dinner, hoping to ease any misunderstandings between you and Minister Nangong.”

Lan Haitian knew that getting Chen Mobai to take his call alone was a huge favor, so he promptly stated his purpose.

“There’s no misunderstanding between me and Minister Nangong. He isn’t even qualified to make me misunderstand him. However, I do have some misunderstandings with Palace Master Ying.”

Chen Mobai bluntly replied, leaving Lan Haitian momentarily speechless.

“Councilor Chen, since there are misunderstandings, it’s best to resolve them.”

At this point, Ying Guanghua’s voice appeared on the call. As the head of Xianwu Hall, theoretically the sect master of the immortal gate, his tone carried a trace of humility.

“What a pity. I’ve just scheduled meetings with several ministers, so I won’t have time for a while. Perhaps after the New Year.”

After Chen Mobai said this, both sides suddenly fell into a long silence.

“Councilor Chen, we’ll wait until you’re free.”

After what seemed like an eternity, Ying Guanghua responded calmly.

Chen Mobai hung up the call with a bit of surprise.

Ying Guanghua’s scheming and patience were deeper than he had imagined.

No wonder he led the Heaven-Repairing Lineage, the main faction within the immortal gate.

He succeeded Lin Daoming as the executor of Huashen Ancestor’s will.

“Aren’t you worried that not giving him face like this will make Leading Star Ancestor show you a bad temper when you meet him?”

Pei Qingshuang, who had heard their entire conversation with an expression of admiration mixed with confusion, questioned Chen Mobai’s boldness.

“I act with a clear conscience. What can the ancestor really do to punish me?”

“Furthermore, Nangong Xuanyu has been running rampant, certainly with Heaven-Repairing Lineage’s backing. If I keep retreating and yielding, it will only embolden Ying Guanghua to overstep even more.”

“In power struggles, when you have strength, you must never back down. Retreating only strengthens your opponents while weakening ourselves.”

“As for Leading Star Ancestor, what’s the harm if he doesn’t favor me? Our Dance Instruments sect has Ancestor Baiguang too.”

Though Chen Mobai sounded confident in his words, he wasn’t entirely certain himself, as he didn’t know when Ancestor Baiguang would emerge from isolation.

However, after forming his Nascent Soul, the Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram had thoroughly solidified his Heavenly Blessing realm.

This visit to Wangwu Cave Heaven carried no ominous foreboding or signs of impending crisis.

This meant that even if Heaven-Repairing Lineage couldn’t stand him, they would adhere to immortal gate rules and wouldn’t directly resort to the brutal methods reminiscent of Tianhe Realm’s human-path destruction.

Thus, after some deliberation, Chen Mobai decided that he couldn’t back down from his first power struggle following his Nascent Soul Formation. He needed to establish his authority within the Three Great Halls.

Even if Heaven-Repairing Lineage suppressed him within the halls later on, it didn’t matter.

After all, he planned to spend most of his time in Tianhe Realm in the future.

With two Huashen Ancestors overseeing Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, Chen Mobai was already considering retirement from the Three Great Halls.

Once Wen Ren Xuewei achieved Nascent Soul Formation, he’d let her take his place in the halls.

That said, she was a rather lazy person, so who knew whether she’d even consent?

Although becoming sect master of the immortal gate was his long-cherished aspiration, faced with the overwhelming presence of Double Saints, Chen Mobai felt it might be better to retreat and take up the role of principal.

After forming his Nascent Soul, he had access to nearly all the resources of the immortal gate, and his status offered equal treatment regardless of his position within the Three Great Halls.

“Oh right, you have Ancestor Baiguang.”

Pei Qingshuang, having listened to Chen Mobai’s remarks in full, suddenly seemed enlightened.

“The ancestor is part of our Dance Instruments sect—not mine. Though I do represent the future and hope of Dance Instruments, it still wouldn’t be proper to phrase it that way.”
