Chapter 741 Her Last Name Is "Shi"? (7k)

"I'm here, what's up?"

After hearing this, Chen Mobai spoke very naturally.

"Uncle Chen, I passed the civil service exam and just got the job notice as a clerk at the Forestry Bureau of Yumu City. I thought you would be my immediate superior in the future, so I thought I would come to visit you tomorrow and thank you for taking care of me in school."

The girl's crisp voice came from the phone, and Chen Mobai couldn't help but be a little surprised after hearing it.

Because the life span of cultivators is not short, and with the effect of cultivation, they are all healthy, and almost everyone can live smoothly until retirement.

So the civil servants of the immortal gate are basically one person per job, and it is difficult for the newcomers to fill the position before the predecessor retires.

Those who can fill the position immediately when someone retires are all people with deep connections.

Some cultivators without connections are still waiting for assignment after decades even if they pass the civil service exam.

Hua Zijing, Chen Mobai's secretary in the student union of Wuqi Daoyuan, was an outstanding student who graduated from Wuqi Daoyuan. With the help of the Daoyuan, he could only go to a remote place and could not be independent.

Although Chen Mobai did not manage things, he was the top leader of the two cities after all, so he had also seen the list of civil servants. If I remember correctly, no one should retire this year?

"This is a good thing. Where are you now? If you are in Yumu City, you don't have to come here specially. When I go there at the end of the year, I will treat you to a meal."

While Chen Mobai was talking, he turned on the computer and entered the official website of Yumu City's government affairs system. After logging into his account, he found the recent information on the transfer of public officials:

Forestry Bureau clerk Tu Qiuxia was selected by the Forestry Bureau of Wangwu Dongtian for her serious work attitude, meticulous work, diligence and hard work. She was transferred to the imperial capital for training and prepared to be trained in the future.

Because of Tu Qiuxia's transfer and training, Yumu City Forestry Bureau was short of staff, and sent Shi Xiaohei, an outstanding graduate of Wuqi Daoyuan, to fill this position. This is to inform you.

This is a transfer document directly issued by the Wangwu Dongtian Forestry Bureau. No wonder Chen Mobai didn't know about it.

In theory, the people below should notify him as the top leader when the imperial capital directly draws people and sends them here. After all, for people in the official system of Xianmen, this action is very subtle.

But because Chen Mobai is a genius who practices hard in Xianmen, he basically delegates power to the two city lords below, and emphasizes more than once that the things that can be solved below should not bother him.

It is precisely because of his inaction that the population and economy of the two cities have developed a small peak during his term of office, which makes his performance evaluation in Kaiyuan Hall excellent every year.

So although the fact that Shi Xiaohei was sent by Wangwu Dongtian is a bit subtle, Wen Ping feels that Chen Mobai, the core Jindan Zhenren of Wuqi Daoyuan and a member of Kaiyuan Hall, will not be able to overturn at the official level, so according to convention, he did not report the matter.

"There is no direct flight from Yumu City today. I got off the plane and changed trains in Danxia City, and then I thought about coming to you to pay my respects first."

The girl said something naughty on the other end of the phone, which made Chen Mobai smile and asked.

"With your background and status, wouldn't it be better for you to stay in Wangwu Dongtian?"

After reading the official system's notice of Shi Xiaohei's transfer, Chen Mobai knew that there must be someone at the highest level who was arranging the operation.

In this regard, the official side of Yumu City Xianmen was also speculating that Shi Xiaohei's family had at least a ministerial background.

But Chen Mobai knew best that the girl's background was the kind that went straight to the sky.

It must be that Wufeng Xianshan had given a call, and then the upper level of the Xianmen arranged it for her. But at least the upper level was still doing things within the rules, so they used the excuse of transfer.

Perhaps it would be difficult for other graduates of Wuqi Daoyuan to get a good civil service position, but for her, it should just be a matter of which department she wanted to go to.

That's why Chen Mobai couldn't think of a reason why she would come to this small place far away from the imperial capital.

It can't be because he's here!

"It's like this, my mother is in Yumu City. She has average talent and hasn't built a foundation, so I want to accompany her for the next half of her life. So after I graduated from the sea area, I started to take the civil service exam. It happened that someone from the Yumu City Forestry Bureau was transferred this year, so I was replaced."

On the phone, the girl didn't hide it and told Chen Mobai directly.

After hearing her words, Chen Mobai's face showed a look of enlightenment.

It turned out to be for filial piety!

That makes sense!

"Your mother is actually from Yumu City, and I'll visit her next time I go."

At this point, Chen Mobai also remembered that the ancestor Bai Guang was from the Yu family in Yumu City. It was because of this relationship that Xiao Hei was carried to the Five Peaks Fairy Mountain.

However, Chen Mobai had only met Xiao Hei a few times before, and since she was descended from the White Light Ancestor, he had never investigated these things.

Wait...

Since she is from the Yu family, why is her last name "Shi"?

Chen Mobai suddenly realized that something was wrong, especially this last name, which reminded him of an unspeakable thing he experienced when he was young.

She happened to have this last name as well.

Could it be...

"Okay, then Uncle Chen, I'll be waiting for you at Yumucheng's house at the end of the year."

At this time, Shi Xiaohei's somewhat disappointed voice came over the phone. After being rejected by Chen Mobai twice in a row, she seemed very disappointed.

"Ahem, I mean, forget it's too late today. It's not appropriate for a girl like you to come over to my place at night. How about tomorrow morning."

After Chen Mobai thought of that possibility, he suppressed his trembling voice and immediately changed his tone to make up for his previous rejection.

"Really!! Then Uncle Chen, please send me your location. What time will it be tomorrow morning? I will be there on time!"

On the other end of the phone, Shi Xiaohei's originally depressed mood regained his strength in an instant, and his voice was full of vitality.

"Seven o'clock... no, you can come over whenever you like. You have to catch a flight tonight and you must be tired. Have a good night's sleep and rest until you wake up naturally. When you want to come over, just give me a call."

Chen Mobai's attitude was completely different, but Shi Xiaohei did not notice this. She said that she was still young and there would be no problem at seven o'clock tomorrow morning and she would be there on time.

"Okay, you can rest first. Have you booked your hotel for tonight? Do you want me to make arrangements for you?"

Unknowingly, Chen Mobai's tone became very concerned.

"Thank you, Uncle Chen. The reservation has been made and we are on the way there. You should also rest early."

After saying goodbye at last, Shi Xiaohei hung up the phone.

Chen Mobai immediately sent the location of his home.

The girl quickly responded with a cute emoticon saying "got it"!

Chen Mobai chatted with her for a few more words, and waited until she arrived at the hotel by car before reluctantly ending the chat.

He looked up at the clock hanging on the wall!

10:23pm!

It should be in time!

Chen Mobai called up the phone number of Wen Ping, the lord of Yumu City, from his address book and called him.

Yumu City.

After the department dinner, Wen Ping organized her own small group to refill the glass. She had just picked up her wine glass and was about to have a drink with a capable subordinate who came over to toast, when she saw her cell phone vibrating on the table.

He glanced at it, his eyes widened in an instant, and he almost spilled the wine he had just touched.

The moment he saw the caller ID, he picked it up as quickly as possible, silenced everyone, then cast a soundproof ban and carefully connected the call.

After saying a few words, he started nodding his head.

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"Ok, no problem!"

"Don't worry, I'll keep it with you!"

…

At the wine table, the heads of several other departments in Yumu City looked at each other in surprise. They didn't know which big shot made the call, but they could actually make Wen Ping keep such a low profile.

"I'm sorry everyone, I'm suddenly in a hurry. After drinking this cup, we'll call it a day. I'll invite you all to have a reunion dinner another day."

After ending the call, Wen Ping straightened her face and said this to the people below.

Although other people had doubts, some keen people had already guessed who was calling. They immediately drank the remaining wine in their glasses and stood up to leave.

"Wish the game, please stay for a while."

Zhu Shiyong, director of the Forestry Bureau, was just about to take his bag and leave when he heard Wen Ping shouting.

He looked surprised.

But he was the only one present whose surname was Zhu, so he stopped getting up, put down his bag again, and sat down.

Soon, they were the only two people in the box.

"Congressman Chen called just now and wanted to see the file of Shi Xiaohei, the clerk who was recently transferred to your Forestry Bureau."

Wen Ping spoke to Zhu Shiyong, the director of the Forestry Bureau, with a serious face. After hearing this, the latter thought that the matter was not reported to the superior, which made Chen Mobai dissatisfied. He couldn't help but pat his thigh with an annoyed look on his face.

"I knew that the Imperial Capital General Administration would not send people here for no reason. They probably want to check our accounts!"

Wen Ping was silent after hearing this.

Because Chen Mobai has controlled Yumu City for so long, this is the first time that he calls him after ten o'clock in the evening, and it is also an ordinary clerk sent by the Imperial Capital General Bureau to investigate Xiaohei.

Such an obvious signal made him, the city lord, very frightened.

Yumu City is one of the blessed cities with the richest forest resources in the south of Xianmen. The annual income of the Forestry Bureau is the largest part of the official finance.

Although the Immortal Sect has various legal restrictions, it is still very easy for people like them to get some benefits by using their hands.

Although these benefits are obtained within the rules, if they really want to take it seriously, they will not reap the rewards.

"I don't know either. You should prepare as soon as possible. Councilor Chen said that he is coming from Danxia City now and will arrive in about two hours."

Chen Mobai's tone on the phone was rather urgent, so Wen Ping didn't dare to ask any more questions and just remembered everything he ordered.

Hearing this, Zhu Shiyong's eyes widened in disbelief.

"So late? Councilor Chen is here in person?"

Wen Ping looked at the completely dark sky outside the window, stood up impatiently, and asked Zhu Shiyong to prepare files about Shi Xiaohei as soon as possible.

There is a lot of information in the Xianmen official system that will not be archived online.

Chen Mobai couldn't find anything about Shi Xiaohei, so he planned to go to Yumu City to check her files in person.

After making the call, his figure flashed with silver light in the room and disappeared.

Because there was no permission to fly within the city, Chen Mobai didn't want his overnight rush to Yumu City to be discovered, so he directly used the Hades Formation.

He started teleporting one after another in the city, and was even seen by some passers-by, but he left very quickly. Many people only saw the silver light flickering on the roofs of high-rise buildings on the road, and then there seemed to be a figure.

But when I tried to take a closer look or use my spiritual consciousness, I found that it had disappeared.

Of course, Chen Mobai didn't know that this matter was broadcast by Danxia City's Unsolved Mysteries Radio tonight.

After he left the city gate, he was like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, directly controlling the red clouds and clouds, and headed towards Yumu City at the fastest speed.

However, he still paid great attention to concealment and restrained all the colorful rays of red clouds and turned them into a black cloud.

Under the cover of darkness, even if someone looked up, they would not find anyone flying in the sky.

Wen Ping's office in Yumucheng.

After Chen Mobai came in, he couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw the two people's hands were empty.

"Where's the file?"

After hearing what he said, Wen Ping felt a little embarrassed and asked Zhu Shiyong on the side to explain.

"It's like this, Councilor Chen. Although Shi Xiaohei's position has been transferred to our Forestry Bureau in Yumucheng, her files are still at the Imperial Forestry General Bureau and have not been transferred. We below do not dare to urge the above. , usually I wait until the boss remembers to send it, or the staff rushes it myself.”

Zhu Shiyong's words made Chen Mobai look a little ugly, but this was indeed the official behavior.

Chen Mobai: "Then bring out the Yu family's files."

After Wen Ping heard this, the cold sweat on her forehead instantly fell down.

Although the Yu family in Yumu City is dispersed, there is an ancestor of the God of Transformation in this lineage. If we take the archives of the Yu family, wouldn't we also bring out the ancestor Baiguang?

Chen Mobai is the top leader of Yumu City, so of course he can watch this, but the information revealed by this incident made Wen Ping and Zhu Shiyong suddenly feel a little weak.

"It's not from the Yu family. As long as it's from the branches they branched off, mainly the branches that have been renamed, bring them to me as quickly as possible."

Seeing Wen Ping's pale expressions, Chen Mobai also thought of their concerns and immediately spoke to dispel their worries.

Chen Mobai didn't want Shi Wanyu's existence to be exposed, so he didn't say her name.

But combined with what I know about Xiao Hei's origin, and what I heard from Shi Wanyu when she was young, her hometown is also from Yumu City, and I can pinpoint the possible location of her file.

"Yes, yes, Congressman Chen, but it may take a few days because the number of people is so huge."

After Wen Ping heard this, she immediately wiped the sweat from her forehead and said that she would make arrangements immediately.

Chen Mobai looked at the time. There were nearly six hours until seven in the morning, leaving him three hours to return to Danxia City.

"Where is the archives? I'll check it myself!"

After Wen Ping heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and immediately took Chen Mobai over.

"You two wait for me outside."

After Chen Mobai entered the archives, he immediately sent Wen Ping and Zhu Shiyong out.

Although he has broken through to the second level as a Jindan Daoist, Danfeng Chaoyang Diagram, and his spiritual consciousness far exceeds that of a foundation-building monk, he still feels a little strenuous when faced with the vast Yu family archives accumulated over three thousand years.

Fortunately, he can enter the square inch book state at any time now.

In this state, like a ruthless computing machine, he began to search from the source of the genealogy, and soon found Shi Wanyu's file.

An hour later, Chen Mobai walked out of the archives.

"Shi Xiaohei will come over tomorrow to report. Among the graduates of the Wuqi Taoist Academy after me, she is the most talented after me. Since she has been assigned to Yumu City, the Taoist Academy will let me take good care of her. From now on, you two As her superior, please don’t let me be embarrassed in the Taoist temple.”

After Chen Mobai said these words, Wen Ping and Zhu Shiyong immediately nodded their heads.

He said that in the Yumucheng Forestry Bureau, all colleagues love each other and are a family, and they will take good care of her as their daughter and will never let her suffer any grievances.

After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded and turned into a silver light and disappeared.

This scene made both Wen Ping and Zhu Shiyong widen their eyes in shock.

"This is...walking in the void!?"

Although the two of them are only practicing foundation building, they are still members of the Immortal Sect system. They have heard of this legendary unique skill that only Yuanying monks can master.

Seeing Chen Mobai teleport away directly, it felt exactly like the description of walking in the void in the legend.

I didn’t expect that Councilor Chen, who was only at the realm of elixir formation, had already achieved this!

After realizing this, the two of them admired Chen Mobai's talent for cultivation.

It is worthy of becoming a god.

"What happened today must not be leaked at all."

The two went in to check the archives and found that there was no sign of any flipping. When they left, Wen Ping suddenly said something solemn to Zhu Shiyong.

"Don't worry, City Lord. I still understand the seriousness of the matter. If this matter is leaked, we two little characters will definitely be the first to be dealt with."

Zhu Shiyong smiled bitterly and nodded. People in the Immortal Sect system know how terrifying it is sometimes when it involves things that they cannot explore.

Moreover, Chen Mobai is now a core figure in the lineage of Wuqi Taoist Academy. He is one of the Jindan masters with the most connections and power among the Immortal Sect, besides Nascent Soul.

Even if it may involve the ancestor of Baiguang, that is an internal matter within the Dance Equipment lineage, and it is not something they can touch.

But at this time, the two of them were also very shocked.

Are you guessing the origin of Shi Xiaohei who is coming to take up his post soon? It was actually worthy of Chen Mobai personally coming to investigate the files at night and asking them to take good care of them.

If they hadn't clearly known that Chen Mobai practiced Pure Yang Volume and was still single, they would have suspected that Shi Xiaohei was Chen Mobai's illegitimate daughter.

Qingsang Academy!

Gu Mingxuan, who was meditating and resting at night, suddenly received a strange phone call.

He frowned and hung up.

But the calls continued. After hanging up twice, Gu Mingxuan became very annoyed and planned to block him.

[I am Chen Mobai. I have something to ask you. Please call me back. 】

Suddenly, this strange phone call sent a message.

After Gu Mingxuan saw it, his pupils suddenly narrowed.

He held the phone with a gloomy expression on his face, but thinking of the power and status that Chen Mobai represented in the Immortal Sect, he finally sighed and dialed.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Gu Mingxuan, who was wearing a coat, opened the door.

It was Chen Mobai who was at the door.

"Sorry for disturbing you at night!"

Chen Mobai apologized to Gu Mingxuan, and then walked into the room. After entering, he directly cast a silent restraint.

He found Gu Mingxuan's phone number from the internal campus network of Qingsang University.

As one of the teachers in the school, everyone’s contact information is on it.

Chen Mobai found Shi Wanyu's file information, but it was a file sent by Liu Guangfu when she graduated and returned to her hometown more than forty years ago. It has not been updated in so many years.

Chen Mobai looked for it according to the address above and found that it was already empty.

He didn't dare to use official power to investigate. Just when he was about to give up and go back to Danxia City to meet Shi Xiaohei who came to visit in the morning, he suddenly thought of Gu Mingxuan.

When he first met Shi Wanyu, he was there.

It was precisely because of this that he knew that both of them were from Yumu City.

It happened that Gu Mingxuan was a teacher at Qingsang Academy, and Chen Mobai was also the principal of this academy, so he came over directly.

"What's the matter with the principal coming to see me so late?"

Gu Mingxuan actually probably guessed it in his heart, and after Chen Mobai entered the room, he took the initiative to speak.

"Do you know where Shi Wanyu lives now?"

really!

Hearing Chen Mobai's words, Gu Mingxuan sighed in his heart.

He hesitated and gave an address.

"Thank you!"

Chen Mobai didn't expect to get it so easily, and couldn't help but sincerely thank Gu Mingxuan.

"After she graduated, she gave birth to a daughter out of wedlock, and she refused to reveal who the father was, so her parents thought she was embarrassed and her life was not good."

When Chen Mobai was about to leave, Gu Mingxuan suddenly said something.

Chen Mobai turned around and suddenly stopped.

…

the next day.

Chen Xinglan, who got up early, was doing health-preserving boxing in the living room. This is the most widely spread among the immortal sects. It was researched by the Imperial Medical Palace and is the boxing method that can best move all the muscles, bones and joints of the body.

When Chen Mobai was studying, he would practice with the leader on the playground every morning.

In the kitchen, Tang Pancui, who has retired a long time ago, is making breakfast. It is rare that Chen Mobai is at home today, so she plans to make a rich meal.

Ding dong!

Ding dong!

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

"Old Chen, open the door!"

Tang Pancui thought it was some neighbor or relative who came to visit. After all, Chen Mobai's status was different now. Many people knew that he was at home and would try to find an excuse to come over and show his face.

Even if it is just to let Chen Mobai know that there is such a person, it will be a big gain.

The sound of the door opening sounded, and then a clear girl's voice sounded at the door.

"Hello, Grandpa Chen. I'm Xiaohei. I called Uncle Chen last night. He asked me to come here to find him."

After hearing the girl's energetic and energetic voice, Tang Pancui couldn't help but wipe her hands with a scarf for some reason and walked out of the kitchen.

She saw the girl greeting Chen Xinglan with a smile at the door.

The early morning sun is not too harsh, and the slightly soft light shines on the girl's graceful and slender figure, showing her graceful curves. Her waist-length black hair looks like the surface of a lake under the sun, and its luster is as bright as transparency.

For some reason, Tang Pancui felt a special sense of intimacy when she saw the girl.

"Are you Mo Bai's friend? Come in and sit down. Lao Chen, why do you let people stand at the door?"

Tang Pancui immediately called Xiao Hei in, and the second half of the sentence was a complaint against Chen Xinglan.

"Thank you, grandma. I am Shi Xiaohei, who passed the exam this year and came to Yumucheng Forestry Bureau as a clerk. Uncle Chen took good care of me when I was in school. In addition, he is now my immediate superior, so I came to visit him immediately after the appointment."

Shi Xiaohei had a smile on his face when he spoke, and then put the basket of fruit in his hand on the table in the living room.

"You kid, you came here, why do you bring things with you?"

Tang Pancui saw the fruit and said a few words with some blame. Xiaohei immediately said that it was just a little thought, not respect.

"Come on, come on, sit down, sit down, Old Chen, go up and call your son. Since you have an appointment with him, why are you still lying in bed?"

Tang Pancui's voice made Chen Xinglan smile bitterly, and the latter went upstairs.

Knocked twice at Chen Mobai's door, and then called twice.

But after waiting for a while, there was no response.

Chen Xinglan looked strange, and when he was about to go downstairs to get his mobile phone to call Chen Mobai to ask, the door suddenly opened.

"Huh?"

Chen Xinglan looked at Chen Mobai who came out with a strange look on his face.

Because he broke through his cultivation early, Chen Mobai has always been a young boy with a tender face. He usually dresses casually, but today he deliberately combed his hair into a mature big back and wore a rare formal suit.

But Chen Xinglan thought carefully, after all, Chen Mobai is the leader, and it is right to be more mature when meeting his subordinates now.

However, he did not notice that when Chen Mobai walked downstairs, he saw the young and energetic girl in the living room, his muscles were tense, and he seemed a little nervous.

"I'm here."

Chen Mobai pretended to greet the girl sitting on the sofa very naturally, and the girl immediately stood up and greeted him.

"Uncle Chen, I will be your subordinate from now on, please take care of me!"

After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded immediately, indicating that there was no problem.

"Although I don't care about things, what I say is still useful. I have already greeted Wen Ping and Zhu Shiyong last night. No one will dare to embarrass you."
