Cultivation Online

After accepting the Dragon Ruby Ring from Yuan, Meixiu immediately wore the ring on her right hand, as it would draw too much attention if she wore it on the other hand.

Min Li watched their little section with a weird look on her face, and she silently wondered if they were really just ’friends’ or something more than that.

”Okay, Disciple Min. Let’s talk more about the situation. What would you like me to do for you in this situation? Because I cannot join your family, but if I don’t, you’ll be unjustly punished by your parents, and I cannot do nothing about it after learning about it.” Yuan sat down and asked her.

”I honestly don’t know. I have been thinking about it ever since I received my father’s message, but I cannot think of a good solution to my problem. Perhaps I was never destined to ascend to the Spirit Heaven. Maybe it’s my fate to stay in the Lower Heaven and be treated like an object by my family who will eventually sell me to another family, where I’ll be treated even worse.” Min Li shuddered at the thought of being sold to another family and becoming their plaything.

”I won’t let that happen to you,” Yuan said with a stern look on his face.

And he continued, ”I know exactly how it feels to be treated badly by your own parents. Although I don’t know what I can do, I will definitely do something about it. I promise. And even though you say it’s not my fault, it is my problem since I am the reason you’re in this situation.”

”Disciple Yuan… Thank you… And sorry...” Min Li felt a strong urge to pounce at Yuan and kiss him at this moment, but she restrained herself by crying instead.

”Give me a few days to think about it, okay? I will try to think of something in the meantime.” Yuan said to her.

”Okay.” Min Li nodded.

Sometime later, Min Li returned to her own living quarters.

Once Min Li left the scene, Yuan laid back on the couch in an exhausted manner.

”What should I do now? Xiao Hua! Feng Feng! Yingying! Anybody!” Yuan cried for their help.

The three servants appeared before him a moment later.

”I told you the Seven Legacy Families are a bunch of selfish people who only care about their reputation, Young Master. I say you should stay as far away from the Min Family as possible.” Feng Yuxiang said to him.

”But what about Disciple Min’s situation? I cannot ignore her!” Yuan said.

”As much as I hate to say this, Young Master, but you should probably ignore her as well and let her handle the situation by herself since helping her might bring unwanted trouble for you. The cultivation world is sometimes cold-hearted and brutal like this…”

Yuan shook his head and said in a calm voice, ”The cultivation world may be cold-hearted, but I am not like that. I may be a Cultivator, but the cultivation world does not and will not define my character or morals.”

Feng Yuxiang was speechless after hearing his grand speech that touched her heart.

”I know the pain and stress Disciple Min is feeling right now because I was also mistreated by my parents. Hell, I was even abandoned by my family, and not just once, but twice...” Yuan revealed this to them.

”What?! Your family threw you away? What kind of idiot parents would throw such a cultivation genius away?!” Feng Yuxiang blurred out without thinking as it was simply that shocking.

Even Xiao Hua had her mouth wide open from shock.

If the world knew that a family had thrown an 18-year-old Spirit Grandmaster away regardless of the situation, that family would become the world’s biggest laughing stock in history.

Now that Yuan’s talents have been revealed to the Lower Heavens through the Mystic Realm, literally every large family out there including the Seven Legacy Families are trying to recruit him at all cost!

To think one would throw away a treasure that everyone would kill for— even idiots wouldn’t do such a thing!

”Is that why you don’t like talking about your background? I fully understand it now, Young Master…” Feng Yuxiang said, misunderstanding the situation.

”I used to be a cripple who couldn’t even feed myself, and I could only lie on the bed all day long and have someone feed me and do everything else a normal person would be capable of with ease. And being in that state, I was nothing but a burden to my family, so they threw me away.” Yuan sighed.

”Oh… I didn’t know that… I apologize for my rude suggestion just now, Young Master. But at least you managed to overcome your misfortune.” Feng Yuxiang said with an innocent smile on her face.

Seeing Yuan completely functional and a peak talent at this moment, one can only assume that he has fully recovered from his crippled state.

”Well…” A bitter smile appeared on Yuan’s face.

He was only functional in this world. In the other one… Not so much. Although he is making progress, he is still far away from fully recovering.

”Anyways, enough about me. Disciple Min is the one who needs help right now. What should I do— what can I do in this situation?” Yuan quickly changed the subject back to Min Li.

”You can destroy the Min Family.” Feng Yuxiang suggested again.

Yuan looked at her with a frown on his face.

”Stop joking, Feng Feng. I am being serious here.”

”Ehh…” Feng Yuxiang wanted to say that she wasn’t joking, as destroying the Min Family would efficiently solve most of the problems.

”I don’t kill when I say destroy... Ah, forget it...” She didn’t want to anger Yuan anymore, so she kept her mouth shut.

After a moment of silence, Lan Yingying spoke, ”Can’t she just leave her family? That would solve most of her problems. But if she wants to rely on her family to ascend, there’s really no way we can help her, unfortunately.”

”Brother Yuan could help her ascend if he really wants to…” Xiao Hua suddenly said, causing everyone there to turn their head and look at her.
