Chapter 438 The Right Choice (1/2)

”I think I've lost my appetite…” Yuan sighed a few minutes after the Du Family left the scene.

”What's the matter, Young Master?” Feng Yuxiang asked him even though she had an idea.

”I cannot understand why he did that… Did he really have to cripple his own son to make an apology? He was even prepared to kill his own son!”

After a moment of silence, Feng Yuxiang opened her mouth and said, ”Because he had to make a choice— his own son or his entire family.”

”The cultivation world is a place where one can have their entire family destroyed because a mere servant had offended someone they couldn't afford to offend. In Du Wei's mind, his family was in jeopardy because of his son's action. Therefore, in order to get rid of the problem, he decided to get rid of the one who caused the trouble in the first place.”

”This is a very common thing in the cultivation world, Young Master. You shouldn't think too much about it. There are people out there who would be willing to take even their own life in order to please someone.”

Before Yuan could even respond to Feng Yuxiang, almost as though she could read his mind, Xiao Hua said, ”Brother Yuan, there are unreasonable people out there who would go to the extreme and slaughter an entire family because they didn't like the way a person looked at them. The upper heavens are filled with people like that.”

Yuan closed his mouth after hearing Xiao Hua's words, as he was going to ask why someone would destroy an entire family over something so minor.

”In my opinion, what Du Wei did was the right choice. He knew that he couldn't offend me, much less an unknown Spirit Grandmaster like you. Forget about me, the Young Master can destroy the entire Du Family with his current prowess.” Feng Yuxiang said.

”But I wouldn't do something like that.”

”Of course. We know the Young Master is a benevolent being. However, Du Wei didn't know that, and he wasn't going to risk his entire family just to find out.”

And she continued, ”The Du Family is a top family in the Lower Heavens for a reason. They know how to survive. In fact, every top family in the Nine Heavens must first learn to survive. If they cannot do that, they would've long been destroyed.”

”I understand.” Yuan nodded.

Sometime later, they decided to leave the restaurant.

When Yuan tried to pay the bill, the manager politely refused their money and said that it was on the house. After learning that there were Spirit Grandmasters amongst them, the manager no longer dared to accept their money.

After leaving the restaurant, Yuan wasn't sure what he should do, as he'd planned on eating at more than one restaurant before returning to Meixiu.

However, with his appetite ruined, his plans also had to change.

After pondering for some time, Yuan turned to look at Feng Yuxiang and said to her, ”Feng Feng, can you train with me for a bit?”

”Train? With the Young Master?” Feng Yuxiang expressed surprise.

He nodded and said, ”I have been using the movement technique you taught me for a while now, but I realized that I could only use it properly on the ground. In the air, I am very vulnerable. And I feel like working out a little after eating so much food.”

After what he experienced in the Shadow Realm, Yuan realized that he was having trouble dodging attacks while in the air.
