Want a Divination?
Shi Wanyu immediately replied "I'm free," not daring to be reserved.
After receiving the message, Chen Mobai opened his phone and randomly searched for nearby restaurants, wanting to order one with a high rating, but found that the highest-rated restaurant was actually the Maid Cafe.
The place happened to be suitable for discussing business, so he booked a private room.
While waiting for Shi Wanyu, Chen Mobai took out his phone and searched online for information about pursuing a master's degree at the Sky Mending Dao Academy.
Thanks to Fu Borong's help, Chen Mobai didn't have to worry about the most troublesome thing for students—submitting applications and waiting for admission notices—because he was invited to enroll.
Just like when Chen Mobai took the entrance exam in Vermilion Cloud City, he had to overcome many obstacles to win the top spot and gain the qualification to enter the Four Great Dao Academies. Qing Nü, on the other hand, had already been invited by the Goumang Dao Academy and admitted to the academy without taking the entrance exam.
Now, it's finally Chen Mobai's turn to enjoy this kind of treatment.
However, he had another worry: whether Yan Bingxuan's application would be approved by the Sky Mending Dao Academy.
He was conflicted, wanting her to pass the test but also wanting her to fail.
Knock, knock, knock! Just then, a knock sounded on the door.
Chen Mobai looked up and saw the maid leading Shi Wanyu in; the latter was as radiant and beautiful as ever.
Shi Wanyu has a pure and innocent face. She is wearing a white long-sleeved shirt with the neckline slightly open. She has a slender waist and her skirt is draped over her legs, showing off her Dual Cultivation, straight, and beautiful legs. A thin belt is tied around her waist. She exudes a fresh and elegant girlish charm.
"Haven't seen you for a long time."
Chen Mobai stood up and greeted Shi Wanyu with a smile.
"Senior..."
Although Shi Wanyu had mustered up the courage to invite Chen Mobai, she was still a little flustered after they actually met. After he spoke, she called out to him, then stood there, unsure of how to continue the conversation.
"Let's order first."
Chen Mobai noticed this as well. He spoke to the pretty and dignified maid-dressed waitress standing at the door, who immediately came to them with the menu and knelt down on the ground to hand it to them.
This is the ordering ceremony at the maid cafe. Chen Mobai was a little surprised when he first came, but this time he's gotten used to it.
"Is there anything you like to eat?"
Chen Mobai spread out the menu and asked Shi Wanyu, who said anything was fine. So he first ordered a pot of black tea, a serving of beef brisket with potatoes, and a tiramisu cake, and then handed the menu over.
After receiving the Shi Wanyu nervously ordered a cup of coffee, a vegetable salad, and a chocolate pastry.
After the maid left, only the two of them remained in the room.
Seeing that he was about to fall into that awkward atmosphere again, Chen Mobai chuckled and took out the Sword Pouch that he had taken out of his storage bag earlier.
"Your sword aura is beautiful."
He took out the White Stone, placed it on the table, and spoke to the sword energy that was constantly flashing with various colors of light.
"Really? I chose this Flowing Light Rainbow Sword mainly to match the use of various colors of light during filming. I seem to have a talent for this, and I can create many different colors of sword energy."
After Chen Mobai started, Shi Wanyu gradually lost her initial restraint and began to show her lively personality.
"Since you were chosen by Hao Cao of the Mountain Sea Academy, you must be an outstanding swordsmanship genius. To be honest, when I first saw your White Stone, I was quite taken aback. I thought you had infused it with a lot of sword energy. You know, even I..."
Seeing that Shi Wanyu genuinely didn't understand these things, Chen Mobai started talking to her about White Stone, sword energy, and infusion.
"I see. But I can only infuse it with sword energy, which is the only thing I can be proud of. It's a pity that there are no dedicated Sword Cultivator teachers in our Flowing Light Academy. I've been figuring out how to cultivate after the sword energy on my own, and I don't know if it's right or wrong."
Hearing Shi Wanyu's words, Chen Mobai became somewhat curious and asked about the Flowing Light Academy.
It turns out that this university, like Longevity Academy, is a junior college, specializing in the various uses of light and adept at analyzing the spectra of various vital energies.
For example, the "Fire Element Divine Light" in the Myriad Treasures Cave of the Wuqi Dao Academy has a complete manual in the Flowing Light Academy, which records how many kinds of primordial energy and how many steps are required to condense this divine light.
He is considered a top authority in this field within the Immortal Sect.
Unfortunately, among the Hundred and Twenty Mansions, only a few students can successfully Foundation Establishment, and these are the students that the school focuses on and cultivates.
When Shi Wanyu entered the academy, her grades were average, and she did not show any outstanding qualities later on. She also failed to Foundation Establishment, so naturally she did not attract the attention of the Flowing Light Academy.
After being selected by Hao Cao and recognized as an unparalleled sword genius, she missed the last year of her Foundation Establishment journey because there were no Foundation Establishment level Sword Cultivator teachers in the Flowing Light Academy.
"I see, so I can't transfer schools?"
Chen Mobai felt sorry for Shi Wanyu. He felt that with her talent, she might have been able to successfully Foundation Establishment if she had been guided by an excellent Sword Cultivator teacher.
"After all, there's only one year left, and I don't dare to take any risks. At least if I finish my studies at the Flowing Light Academy, I can still get a diploma."
Shi Wanyu said with a wry smile, just as the food the two of them had ordered was served.
Chen Mobai poured himself a cup of black tea, took a small sip, and then asked, "Have you ever tried Foundation Establishment?"
Shi Wanyu shook her head. "Students in our academy can only apply for one of the Foundation Establishment Trio. The other three in my dormitory have all tried but failed. I don't think I'm any better than them. Although I've already Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer Refining, I've been too weak-willed to make up my mind, so I've been putting it off until now."
Chen Mobai nodded, but since the two were just ordinary friends, he did not presume to take Shi Wanyu's pulse or check her spiritual energy.
"You should still give it a try. After all, if you fail to reach the Foundation Establishment Foundation Establishment, you'll only have the option of getting married or serving in the military. If you succeed, at least you'll be able to control your own destiny."
But since they were friends after all, Chen Mobai still offered some advice and then shared some of his insights on Foundation Establishment, including key tips such as the Spiritual Power Vortex.
Shi Wanyu didn't seem to be paying much attention to these things, as if she was thinking about other things.
Seeing her looking down as she drank her coffee, Chen Mobai couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
As expected, the people of these Hundred and Twenty Mansions themselves have little ambition.
No wonder some renowned teachers are unwilling to go there. This will lead to a decline in teacher and student resources, creating a vicious cycle. Even if there are hidden gems like Shi Wanyu, they will not be able to shine due to the environment, and may even be buried and assimilated as they are now.
After discussing White Stone and Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai asked Shi Wanyu about her plans after graduation.
"I haven't decided yet, but military service can be postponed for a maximum of one and a half years. I plan to work and save some money, and then take out a loan to see if I can buy Spirit Ascension Powder, plus the Qi Condensing Fluid I can get from the academy, to gather two of the Foundation Establishment Trio. I'll give it one last shot before I have to serve in the military."
Shi Wanyu was also very confused about her future. She had no confidence in achieving Foundation Establishment, but she did not want to serve in the military.
So she was determined to have a child.
Thinking of this, she looked up and met Chen Mobai's gaze. Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she quickly lowered her head shyly.
Chen Mobai was completely baffled by her reaction, but he didn't pay it any mind and brought up the Critical Point Method, a foundation -Foundation Establishment skill.
Shi Wanyu was indeed unaware of this, and her eyes lit up when she heard that there was such a mysterious method.
However, upon hearing that even the geniuses of the Four Great Dao Academies might not be able to master it, her face fell again.
"Since you want to apply for a postponement of your military service, you can use this time to cultivate and see if you can succeed."
Hearing Chen Mobai's comforting words, Shi Wanyu nodded gently.
By this time, the two of them had finished eating what they had ordered. Although the taste was not bad, the portion was really too small.
"Order some more."
Chen Mobai planned to get up, open the door, and call for a waiter. The private rooms here were equipped with soundproofing and vibration isolation Restriction, so people outside wouldn't be able to hear anything unless the door was opened from the inside.
"I'll go order something else. I'd like to try what you ordered earlier. Would you like to try mine? The coffee was pretty good."
Shi Wanyu suddenly spoke up. Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, but still nodded politely to indicate that he could.
With excitement in her heart, Shi Wanyu got up and walked towards the door. Just as her hand grasped the doorknob, Chen Mobai's voice suddenly rang out, startling her so much that her delicate body trembled.
"By the way, I'm the one who invited you this time, so don't sneak out and pay the bill. It would put me in a very awkward position."
"Haha... you found out..."
Shi Wanyu spoke in a slightly trembling voice, pretending to be embarrassed, and then quickly opened the door to the private room.
Chen Mobai watched her walk away without thinking much about it.
When he treated Yan Bingxuan to grilled fish before, she often secretly paid the bill. This time, when he saw that Shi Wanyu's eyes were a little strange, he suddenly thought of this and couldn't help but speak up to give her a heads-up.
Surprisingly, he actually guessed right.
Chen Mobai shook his head, lamenting the lack of sincerity between people.
After waiting for a while, a knock sounded on the door. Sounds from outside could be heard coming into this Restriction room.
Chen Mobai used the Restriction technique he had been taught when he booked the private room, and the door opened automatically as soon as he sat down.
Shi Wanyu walked in, a faint blush on her pure face, as if she had really done something wrong, and settled the bill.
Chen Mobai, a seasoned veteran, immediately noticed her slightly uneasy state of mind. He sighed inwardly but remained silent to avoid aggravating her already sensitive emotions.
"Sit."
Chen Mobai saw the bright young woman standing hesitantly at the door, and still smiled as he spoke to her.
It must be said that Shi Wanyu's appearance is outstanding, especially since she understands her own charm very well, and her clothing and styling perfectly match her figure.
Her legs were long and slender, and the white, slightly transparent stockings she wore made her skin appear even whiter and more translucent, highlighting her smooth, naturally long curves. When she walked over in her little leather shoes, she possessed a beauty that was impossible not to admire.
Shortly after Shi Wanyu sat down somewhat nervously, someone knocked on the door and brought in the newly ordered coffee, cake, and other food.
"Senior, this coffee tastes good, you should try it."
Shi Wanyu picked up her newly ordered black tea and said with a smile. Chen Mobai also obliged, picking up his coffee, clinking it against hers, and taking a small sip.
Dao Fruit good; after one bite, I wanted another.
In no time, he finished the whole glass.
Just as Chen Mobai was about to finish the chocolate pastry and leave, a strange feeling that was Shi Wanyu welled up in his heart.
His gaze suddenly fell on the long, beautiful legs of the girl in front of him, which were crossed and pressed together as she sat down. His excellent eyesight allowed him to see every detail of the white stockings. An irresistible temptation made him want to reach out and touch the slender, smooth curves of her legs up close.
Fortunately, Chen Mobai had good self-control. He sensed something was wrong and tried to get up.
But at that moment, a burning flame suddenly ignited in his heart, and then he lost consciousness.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Mobai woke up from his coma.
He felt an indescribable headache, struggled to stand up, and found himself still in the private room of the Maid Cafe, only now he was lying on the sofa.
"We've been tricked! Could she be a member of the Ascension Cult?"
Because Chen Mobai had never experienced any danger in the Immortal Sect, he instinctively lacked the vigilance he had in the Sky River Realm.
Muttering to himself, Chen Mobai immediately closed his eyes and sat down to meditate.
However, he found that he could circulate his energy without any obstacles, and both his spiritual power and Spiritual Sense were crystal clear.
Then, Chen Mobai took out his phone, intending to call Che Yucheng to discuss the matter, but at that moment, he suddenly noticed something strange.
Chen Mobai stood up from the sofa and walked to the trash can next to him. He saw some tissues and a pair of torn white stockings.
In that instant, Chen Mobai's expression turned to shock.
I never imagined that after a lifetime of caution, I would be defeated by a mere young girl.
An indescribable anger welled up in his heart. Just as he was about to call Bian Jingchun, hoping to use her connections in Chicheng Cave Heaven to find Shi Wanyu, a knock sounded on the door.
Chen Mobai frowned, wondering whether to open the door, when someone he never expected walked in.
Would you like your fortune told?
Chen Chun asked Chen Mobai expressionlessly.
