Cultivation Online

”Did something happen?” Meixiu asked her.

”That’s what I want to ask you. What happened? Did you offend the Chairman? Why would someone like him be searching for you?” Meifeng asked her.

”Well…” Meixiu proceeded to explain to her mother what had occurred at the Cultivators’ Association today.

Meifeng remained silent for a good moment after hearing Meixiu’s story, and all she said at the end was—

”Just be careful and refrain from going outside for a while. Chairman Zhao is a powerful man who is at the top of the Cultivators’ Association. He may not be a powerful cultivator, but he has plenty of influence and more than enough people to suppress you.”

”I understand. Thank you for the warning.”

”Don’t you get it, Meixiu? If you’re in danger, the Young Master will also be in danger. Whatever you do, just make sure you protect him.”

”You don’t need to tell me that,” Meixiu said.

Meifeng hung up the phone shortly after.

”Haaa…” Meixiu sighed out loud.

However, before she could even think about the situation, her phone began ringing again.

It was Yu Rou.

Meixiu answered the phone but didn’t say anything.

”Meixiu? Are you okay? My father is looking for you for some reason.” Yu Rou’s voice then resounded.

Meixiu released a sigh of relief after hearing Yu Rou’s voice, and she said, ”Yes, I am fine.”

”As for what happened…”

After Yu Rou heard the story, she exclaimed in an angry voice, ”What?! How shameless! You have already refused to join the Cultivators’ Association, yet they’re still pursuing you?! They even went out of their way to visit my parents! I cannot believe that there are people like them out there!”

”It is what it is. There’s no point getting angry about it, as it won’t change anything.” Meixiu said.

”What do you plan on doing? I doubt the Cultivators’ Association would give up on you.”

”I don’t know yet, but I will think of something.”

”Alright. If you need anything, call me, okay?”

”I will. See you tomorrow.” Meixiu said.

After hanging up, Meixiu went to Yuan’s room and explained to him the situation.

”What a pain in the ass. Now I regret going to register.” Yuan sighed out loud.

”What do you think we should do?” Meixiu asked him.

”I don’t think there’s anything we can do besides hope that they give up on you. After all, they have the entire Cultivators’ Association behind them while we’re just two people who ran away from their family.” Yuan said.

”Should we relocate just in case?” Meixiu then asked.

”Wouldn’t that just attract their attention? Judging by what Miss Meifeng and Yu Rou said, they don’t know your location yet, so it’s probably better if we stay put here.”

”I will try to think of something, but that’s all I can think of for now.”

”Okay.” Meixiu nodded.

Sometime later, Meixiu returned to her room and tried to sleep since she wasn’t in the mood to cultivate.

However, Yuan decided to enter Cultivation Online.

”Young Master? It’s rare seeing you during the night. Did something happen?” Feng Yuxiang asked him, as he usually doesn’t return until morning.

”Something like that.” Yuan nodded.

”Is there anything we can do to help?” Xiao Hua then asked.

”Unfortunately, no…”

He then said, ”Feng Feng, do you remember when I asked you if you know any doctors?”

”Yes, but I haven’t been able to sense that person yet, and he never stays in one place for long, so I have no idea where he is. Why do you need to see him so suddenly?” Feng Yuxiang said.

After a moment of silence, he said, ”My friend… He’s sick, and I need him to heal as soon as possible. Although he’s recovering... he’s not recovering not fast enough.”

”I see… Okay, I will see what I can do.” Feng Yuxiang came out of his body and continued, ”I will go ask around and see if I can find him.”

Yuan nodded, ”Thank you, Feng Feng. I will be meeting my sister tomorrow at Seashell City. We probably won’t go far.”

”Don’t worry, Young Master. I will be able to find you as long as you’re still in the Lower Heavens.” Feng Yuxiang said.

”I will return as soon as possible, Young Master.”

”Yes, see you soon.”

Feng Yuxiang flew away shortly after.

Xiao Hua appeared beside him after Feng Yuxiang left, and she asked him, ”Are you really okay, Brother Yuan?”

Yuan took a deep breath before sighing out loud, ”I… I hate feeling powerless. Even though my friend is in trouble, I cannot do anything about it— I really hate that feeling.”

Xiao Hua wasn’t sure what to say, as this is her first time seeing Yuan acting this gloomy.

”You’re not powerless, my Lord. Even if you feel helpless, you have us. I’m sure we’ll figure something out.” Lan Yingying said to him.

”Thank you, Yingying,” Yuan said to her with a slight smile, feeling a little better.

Sometime later, he said to them before logging off, ”I will see you guys tomorrow morning.”

”Goodnight, my Lord.”

”See you later, Brother Yuan.”

Once he logged off, Yuan proceeded to spend the rest of the night trying to breakthrough to Spirit Master, but alas, it didn’t work.

The following morning, after breakfast, Yuan and Meixiu logged into the game and made their way to Seashell City to meet up with Yu Rou.

”Eh? Feng Feng went somewhere last night?” Meixiu was surprised to hear this.

Who will carry her now?

”I can carry you if you don’t mind,” Yuan suddenly said to her.

”Or are you still not ready for it?” He remembered what she said before.

”Uhh…”

Meixiu wasn’t sure how to respond.

However, the scene of Xuan Wuhan kissing Yuan on the cheeks suddenly flashed into her mind.

Meixiu gritted her teeth for a moment before nodding her head with a resolute look on her face.

”Please carry me,” she said with a rosy face.

After getting her approval, Yuan retrieved the flying sword before carrying Meixiu in his arms like a princess.

The next moment, Yuan jumped on the sword and soared towards the sky with Xiao Hua by his side, leaving Long Chen City in a flash.
