Chu Mo came back to his senses, and looking up at the man in front of him, he was slightly startled. Seeing the anxious look on the man's face, Chu Mo couldn't help but laugh, and gestured to him to sit down across from him.

"Ah, no... I dare not..."

"I said sit, so sit!"

"Ah, thank... thank you, young master!" The man seemed incredibly nervous, carefully sitting down on the chair. His posture was like a young student in a school facing a strict teacher, barely perching on the edge of the seat...

"You..." Chu Mo shook his head slightly, then asked, "Are you doing well?"

"Yes, quite... quite well, I shouldn't... shouldn't have embarrassed you, young master." The man wiped the sweat off his forehead and slowly twisted his round body, betraying the current unease of the man within.

This man was none other than the long-lost Wang Dafa!

Now, one of the most popular figures in the Chu Kingdom, the Minister of Finance of the Chu Kingdom!

In fact, three-parts of his nervousness were genuine and the remaining seven were faked, because he had received the news of Chu Mo's return a day earlier.

The entire royal palace of Chu Kingdom was overjoyged at the time. Those who had rarely smiled in the past two years, all crying with joy and cursing Chu Mo for being a heartless bastard...

Wang Dafa also joined in secretly cursing Chu Mo, but on the surface, he didn't dare show any discontent.

Very few people knew as clearly as Wang Dafa about Chu Mo's abilities.

For the past two years, Wang Dafa had dared not to be too high-profile, and strictly forbade his family from being too flashy, simply because he wasn't sure if Chu Mo was truly dead!

If he was really dead, then it would be okay. Depending on his abilities, Wang Dafa wouldn't need many years to have the entire economic lifeline of the Chu Kingdom in his hands, and by then, the life and death of Chu Kingdom would depend on his word.

But if Chu Mo was alive, and he dared to do that, there would only be one outcome!

Death!

There would be no other outcome.

Deep down, Wang Dafa was more inclined to the first outcome. After all, it had been two years without any news at all, which wasn't normal.

Especially last autumn when Chu Mo's grandfather Fan Wudi cursed the Emperor of Great Xia and was imprisoned by him and was to be executed in the autumn.

That time, if Chu Mo was alive, he would certainly not remain silent!

However, Wang Dafa still didn't dare to take chances. Despite the increasing agitation of his family and some others around him, he maintained his sanity.

He knew that Chu Mo's greatest ability was to pull off miracles!

Just in case... if Chu Mo was still alive, and he really did something rebellious, it will be too late by the time Chu Mo shows up.

He had made his mistakes, he didn't want to make them again.

So, even if his family and subordinates had many complaints about him, Wang Dafa still stayed true to his heart, diligent, and obedient to Chu Yan's instructions.

He did a good job with the economy of the Chu Kingdom.

Although it only had been two years, and the Chu Kingdom had not yet been formally established, it already had all the conditions needed for a golden age!

"You... well done." Chu Mo said with a laugh.

Wang Dafa felt a lump in his throat, almost bursting into tears, and braved himself to say, "Young Master, if you don't come back, I won't be able to suppress those people around me who want to rebel!"

These words were said with audacity, but Wang Dafa said it bravely and boldly.

Chu Mo chuckled and stared at Wang Dafa, "Don't give me that, I don't believe that you don't have the means to suppress those voices."

"I've been suppressing them…" Wang Dafa said with a wry smile, "But as you know, Young Master, people are naturally ambitious..."

"Alright, alright, I know you've worked hard and suffered a lot in these two years. I will compensate you satisfactorily later." Chu Mo said plainly.

Originally, in the Illusion God Realm, Chu Mo had been hesitating about whether to include Wang Dafa. He clearly knew about his ambition. However, seeing Wang Dafa this time, his thoughts suddenly became clear.

He was bound to leave this world, and that time shouldn't be too far away.

The Mortal Realm is so big!

Although his grandfather was old, as long as he was there, it wouldn't be a problem for his grandfather and grandmother to have a few uncles and aunts for him... Probably, they already have a few.

These... are his lineage in the Mortal Realm, there had to be some people left to protect them.

Having been exposed to the Illusion God Realm, Chu Mo's worldview had evolved greatly from what it used to be when he was an innocent young man of the Mortal Realm.

Wang Dafa was taken aback for a moment, and then his face lit up. His reddened eyes miraculously squeezed out a few tears, "Young Master..."

"You can't be seriously…" Chu Mo couldn't help but twitch his mouth, "You, an old guy, a former golden elder of the Azure Dragon Hall, and now a powerful figure, shedding tears publicly, aren't you afraid of being laughed at..."

Actually, many people were already staring at them in shock.

This was the Royal City of Chu Kingdom, not many people didn't know a man as powerful and influential as Wang Dafa.

The God of Wealth of Chu Kingdom!

And he was shedding tears in front of a young man, who could this young man be? Was it Wang Dafa's illegitimate child lost outside?

If Chu Mo knew what these people were thinking, he would definitely be furious. Bloody hell, with Wang Dafa's clunky features, could he produce a son as graceful as the young master?

"What's there to be afraid of? They are not worthy of crying in front of the young master!" Wang Dafa wiped the corner of his eyes and smiled proudly, "After all, all my achievements are given by the young master!"

"..." Chu Mo looked at Wang Dafa speechlessly. He knew that half of what Wang Dafa was saying was just a show, but he couldn't bring himself to be angry.

"By the way, you came back this time, Miss and your Grandpa don't know yet, right?" Wang Dafa asked cautiously.

"Yes, but they probably heard about what happened in Great Xia, right?" Chu Mo asked.

Wang Dafa nodded, "Thanks to the information department you established back then..."

Chu Mo laughed and said, "All right, let's go and meet them together!"

"Alright!" Excitement flashed across Wang Dafa's face as he realized that Chu Mo was trying to build momentum for him!

Here in Chu Kingdom, although they were all Chu Mo's foundation, the factional composition was actually quite complex.

Xu Fufu and his wife Liu Mei'er formed one faction; Chu Yan leading Big Fool and others was another faction; people from Piaomiao Palace was one faction; The miners' corps and Fan Wudi's former subordinates were one faction.

However, all the above factions, although they had their own little schemes, still could be considered as one faction.

At least, when Chu Yan was directing them, there would not be any problems.

But Wang Dafa's group... was the odd one out.
