Chapter 489 - More Kitchen Knives (1/2)
”That's unfair! If they don't need to follow the rules because they are powerful, then this is no different than the cultivation world!”
”Well… If you really think about it, the cultivation world and this world are pretty similar in some aspects, especially if you're rich and powerful.” Meixiu said.
Yuan sighed.
”What should we do then? Move?” He asked a moment later.
”I asked the same, but my mother said there's no point since they will find us again sooner or later.”
”Miss Meifeng? Then what did she suggest?”
”She told us to confront them.”
”Confront them? How?”
”By chasing them away, I guess.”
”What? She wants us to chase them away? Is that even possible?”
”I will try.”
”Don't tell me you're going to fight them?”
”...”
After a moment of silence, Meixiu said, ”If it gets to that point, but you don't have to worry about me because I can protect myself just fine. I am more worried about you since you are vulnerable in that condition.”
”Even if you say that…”
”Anyway, even if they are targeting me, it is my job to take care of you, and I won't be able to do that if they take me away from you.”
Yuan sighed.
”Looks like we won't be able to play with Yu Rou and the others until this is all over. I will have to apologize to her later,” he said a moment later.
”I will stay out here just in case they knock on the door.”
”Okay.”
After breakfast, Yuan entered Cultivation Online.
”Morning, brother. Where's Meixiu?” Yu Rou and Xia Jingyi greeted him.
”She won't be on today… Actually, we won't be able to play for the next few days.”
”What? Why? Did something happen?” Yu Rou frowned.
Yuan nodded and said, ”The Yu Family hired investigators to find us, and they are now planning on forcing Meixiu back so that she could join the Cultivators' Association.”
Yuan explained the situation to them.
”What! They're still on that?! Unbelievable! How can they treat Meixiu like that?! I am going to speak with my parents later!” Yu Rou exclaimed in an angry voice.
Xia Jingyi was shocked. This was her first time hearing about their situation, too.
”Do you want me to talk to my parents about this? We can probably do something about them entering the apartment.” Xia Jingyi said.
Yuan shook his head and said, ”It's okay, I am sure we will be fine, and I don't want to drag your family into our trouble.”
”Okay, but give me a call if you ever change your mind.”
”Brother Tian, what is this Cultivators' Association?” Xiao Hua asked him.
”It's a complicated situation… I don't think I can even explain it.” Yuan said to her.
