I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 696: Chapter 421: The Final Round_2

“It’s a rare treat to meet old friends in a foreign place. I arrived here a few days earlier and found a good seafood restaurant in Shanhai Academy. Let me play host today and treat you all.”

Seeing the relaxed atmosphere among the three old acquaintances, Chen Mobai also invited with a smile.

Naturally, no one objected.

As the Shanhai Academy is situated on a cliff by the sea, the daily fresh produce is always exceptionally delicious.

Pei Qingshuang had once introduced Chen Mobai to the most popular restaurants here; he had hence become quite familiar with them.

After the four of them had eaten, they prepared to go their separate ways.

...

“I will take advantage of the last few days to seriously practice the Purple Vault Divine Thunder Sword Art. None of you should disturb me.”

Before Zhongli Tianyu left, he spoke gravely.

To others, last-minute cramming might not be useful, but for a genius like him, a few days could be enough to further deepen his understanding of this sword technique.

“Rest assured, I assure you I won’t be visiting.”

Chen Mobai, who knew Zhongli Tianyu’s quirky thinking, rolled his eyes and waved him away.

“As a holy land for the Sword Cultivators of the immortal gates, Shanhai Academy has a vast array of sword techniques and swordsmanship. I don’t have any great expectations for the Purple Electric Sword. Instead, I could seek out a couple of peers in the training grounds to have a good discussion about the Sword Dao.”

Zhai Jianbai was a very practical person, and he greatly admired Chen Mobai. He clearly understood that his swordsmanship talent was a mere fraction of that of Chen Mobai, the chief of the Daoist Academy. Since he would be participating, it was an opportunity for Zhai Jianbai to broaden his knowledge and learn from the Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivators of Shanhai Academy.

“Alright then, make sure you both keep track of time and don’t miss the last day of interaction with the Purple Electric Sword.”

Chen Mobai also cared for these two. After all, as the chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, it was his duty and responsibility to take care of them.

“I’ll go back on my own then, so I don’t disturb the three seniors.”

Shi Wanyu, who listened to the conversation between the three, understood the hint and proposed to leave.

“I’ll see you off. I still owe you a lipstick. There’s a shopping street on the Giant Stone Sword of Shanhai Academy, we can go and see if there’s anything suitable for you.”

Chen Mobai had thought of this issue as soon as he saw Shi Wanyu.

It seemed like he had been owing this favour for over eight years. Although they had contact during holidays and other occasions, because of various engagements, he hadn’t found the time to invite her out.

Meeting her at Shanhai Academy today seemed like a perfect opportunity to settle this long pending matter.

On hearing this, Shi Wanyu’s seemingly radiant face turned red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment, pinching the hem of her dress.

Zhongli Tianyu and Zhai Jianbai shared a glance, and were reminded of their chief’s notorious reputation in the academy.

Initially, they didn’t believe it, but after witnessing it with their own eyes and hearing it with their own ears, they couldn’t help but believe.

“Let’s go, just relax. I’ll fly you there.”

Knowing that Shi Wanyu has not reached Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai gently unfolded his “Red Misty Cloud Silk” and extended his hand to invite her.

Watching the two figures fly away in the misty clouds, both Zhongli Tianyu and Zhai Jianbai shook their heads simultaneously.

“Let’s pretend we did not see anything, after all, it is also our academy’s face!”

Zhai Jianbai said softly to Zhongli Tianyu, eliciting a dismissing look from the latter.

“Do I look like the kind of person who gossips behind someone’s back? Besides, the more he is infatuated with women, the better it is for me. As long as he slows down a little, with my talent, I will catch up to him one day.”

Indeed, the way Zhongli Tianyu thought was rather different from Zhai Jianbai the ‘ordinary person’.

Chen Mobai had no idea that his casual invitation had sparked such strange conjectures in the minds of these two, taking into account the rumors about him circulating in the academy.

“How does this one look?”

At a shop in the commercial street of Shanhai Academy, Shi Wanyu applied a high-shine, bright-coloured lipstick and pursed her lips. Her snow-white face turned pink. Her lips, coated with a transparent glossy lipstick, opened slightly towards Chen Mobai.

Chen Mobai looked at the radiant young woman with her rosy cheeks and cherry lips revealing pearly teeth. He couldn’t help but remember the time when they first met.

Time seemed to have left no trace on her.

More than eight years had passed, but she still retained her pure and charming aura, full of youthful energy. Being with her made Chen Mobai feel revived and energetic.

“Very pretty!”

Chen Mobai sincerely admired. Under the glossy lipstick, Shi Wanyu’s rosy lips looked enticingly bright, absolutely matching her pure disposition.

“Let’s take this then.”

Seeing the appreciation in Chen Mobai’s gaze, Shi Wanyu felt happy and a little shy. She closed the lipstick and handed it to the waiter.

“Bring two more of the same kind.”

Chen Mobai ordered the waiter. On hearing this, Shi Wanyu immediately shook her head indicating one was enough, but when they left the store, she was joyfully carrying a small gift box containing three lipsticks of the same shade.

At this moment, the setting sun graced the seaside with spectacular hues.
