Chapter 459 - Please Carry Me (1/2)
”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.
