Chapter 1868: Chapter 928: Various Studies on the Immortal Gate Nascent Soul
âXuewei, stay for a moment, I have something to discuss with you.â
However, Peach Blossom Sage suddenly called out to Wenren Xuewei. Although puzzled, she nodded and sat down.
âIâll be leaving first.â
After bidding farewell to the three, Chen Mobai directly used Void Teleportation to leave.
âPrincipal, is there something you need?â
Once Chen Mobai left, Wenren Xuewei saw Three Extremes and Peach Blossom both relax, sipped their tea, and asked somewhat confusedly.
âPreviously, you were busy with your Nascent Soul Formation, so as not to distract you, we didnât mention this matterâŠâ
Peach Blossom Sage began to explain the matter about Bai Guangâs reincarnated body being Chen Mobaiâs wife in full detail.
Upon hearing this, Wenren Xueweiâs eyes widened, recalling how she often went to Chen Mobaiâs house in Wangwu Cave Heaven for meals, breathing sharply in shock: âWhy didnât you tell me sooner?â
âI thought Cui would tell you.â
Seeing Wenren Xueweiâs expression, Peach Blossom Sage instinctively tried to pass the blame.
âCui knew too?â
âYes, she was probably the first to know, back when the Purple Electric Sword was choosing its masterâŠâ
After hearing this, the usually gentle and quiet Wenren Xuewei crushed her teacup directly.
[She knew, yet watched me eat Bai Guangâs cooking every day!]
After taking several deep breaths, Wenren Xuewei immediately took out her phone, sent a message to Chen Mobai, and then directly used Void Teleportation to go back and reprimand Pei Qingshuang, her insincere best friend.
âWhy does she seem a bit angry?â
Peach Blossom Sage said uncertainly.
âIâd be angry too if I were the last to find out!â
Three Extremes Sage glanced at her, then also took his leave.
âŠ
âWasnât Wenren supposed to come for dinner tonight?â
In the evening, as Shi Wanyu finished preparing a table of dishes, she saw Chen Mobai teleport by himself to the table and asked with curiosity.
âShe got held up by Peach Blossom Sage at Jumang Academy due to an urgent matterâŠâ
Chen Mobai explained the content of the message Wenren Xuewei had sent him, then took the chopsticks handed over by his daughter, invited Shi Wanyu to sit, and the family of three began to eat.
After dinner, Chen Mobai returned to the Cultivation Room in his courtyard and took a Pure Yang Condensation Pill.
Over the years, the Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Immortal Gate had been mostly preoccupied with Dragon God Star, but Chen Mobaiâs cultivation progress remained swift.
After all, he relied on taking elixirs to improve his cultivation level, rather than bitter cultivation and meditation.
And in the spare moments he had, Chen Mobai refined and purified his True Qi and Divine Sense with the Flame Lighting Technique.
Time flowed by slowly like this.
One day, while Chen Mobai was patrolling the Vermilion Dao Palace in Outer Space, he suddenly received an urgent call from Shi Wanyu.
His last elder relative, Chen Baolan, had reached the end of his life and was lying in the first hospital of Wangwu Cave Heaven.
Upon receiving the news, Chen Mobai immediately used Void Teleportation to return.
When he arrived, Shi Wanyu and their son, as well as Zhuang Jialan, their personal secretary, were already in the hospital room.
âXinying booked the earliest flight here; she should arrive by the afternoon, if there are no delays.â
Shi Wanyu approached and informed Chen Mobai.
Chen Baolan never married, leaving only Chen Mobai and Wang Xinying as his younger relatives.
âSister Zijing is already waiting at the airport.â
Zhuang Jialan nodded at Chen Mobaiâs expression, indicating that everything was arranged.
Chen Mobai nodded, walked to the bedside, and saw that the thoroughly aged Chen Baolan lay there unconscious, barely breathing.
âEsteemed oneâŠâ
By the bedside, there was also a doctor operating a device, who respectfully nodded to Chen Mobai and briefly explained the situation.
No illness, just natural passing; in a way, it was good news.
âThank you, doctor!â
Chen Mobai said, and the doctor immediately left him some time alone.
Shi Wanyu and the others followed the doctor out of the room.
âIs that MobaiâŠâ
In a moment, Chen Baolan awoke. Though his vision was blurred, he could faintly make out someone sitting by the bed.
âItâs me, Uncle!â
Chen Mobai immediately reached out, took Chen Baolanâs hand, and slowly channeled his True Qi, diluted to Pure Yang Spiritual Power, into him to warm his body.
âIâve finally come to this point too, but Iâve traveled across the Ten Thousand Waters of the Immortal Gate in my lifetime, and now have you, an outstanding nephew, to see me off at the end. There are no regretsâŠâ
Chen Baolan held Chen Mobaiâs hand, a faint smile appearing at his lips, speaking in a light tone.
âUncle, I have a Lifespan Extension Pill on hand. If I feed it to you, it might extend your life by a few yearsâŠâ
Chen Mobai took out the Profound Heaven Crow Golden Pill. He had secretly had Chen Baolan take two pills before. While the average lifespan of Qi Practitioners at the Immortal Gate is around 120 years, living a few extra decades isnât unheard of, considering some people naturally live longer.
But now, Chen Baolan was beyond saving, with less than a fifty percent chance to refine the elixir, and it might even harm him more.
âNo need, big brother, second sister, they probably have been waiting for me for a long time. I donât want to keep them waitingâŠâ
Chen Baolan shook his head. He lived a life of clarity, never marrying or having children, free and unburdened, living for himself, following his desires, carefree and at ease.
