Chapter 504 - Surprising Yu Rou (1/2)

”Good morning, Meixiu!” Yu Rou greeted when she opened the door.

”Good morning, Yu Rou.” Meixiu returned the greeting.

”Please, come inside.”

Once Yu Rou entered their apartment, she immediately noticed Meifeng and Wang Xiuying sitting in the living room.

”Eh? Miss Meifeng? Wang Xiuying? What are you two doing here so early in the morning?” Yu Rou asked them with a surprised look on her face.

”I'm on vacation, so I figured that I should visit the Young Master,” Meifeng said with a calm look on her face.

”I am here to check up on Yu Tian's condition,” said Wang Xiuying.

Although she wasn't sure why, Yu Rou felt that something was amiss from the atmosphere in the place.

”I see… Where's my brother? I'd like to see him before I talk… though I'm sure you can already guess why I am here.”

”The Young Master is currently in his room,” Meifeng said.

Yu Rou nodded and approached his room, but then she noticed the beautiful piano sitting at the corner of the room and stopped to look at it.

”Wow! What is this piano doing here? It wasn't here when I last came here.”

As a piano player herself, Yu Rou could instantly tell that the piano was a valuable one.

”That piano is mine… At least it was until I gave it to Yu Tian,” said Wang Xiuying.

”Eh? It's yours? But why?” Yu Rou asked.

”I have no use for it anymore, and I'd rather give it to my idol than sell it.”

Yu Rou found it strange that she would give it to Yuan when he can't even use it, and in her eyes, it was quite disrespectful to give an instrument to Yuan while knowing his background and condition. It was almost like giving a blind man a book that he cannot read.

Though Yu Rou didn't think too much of it for now.

”Brother, it's Yu Rou. I am here to visit you,” she said to him after knocking on the doors.

”Come inside,” Yuan said.

Yu Rou then entered the room and sat beside the bed.

”Even though we have been playing together in Cultivation Online for a while, it still feels like forever since I last saw you…” Yu Rou gently caressed his silky black hair to the side so she could get a good look at his handsome face.

”I'm sorry, brother…”

”Why are you suddenly apologizing?” Yuan asked her.

”Because of the Yu Family, both you and Meixiu have been experiencing unpleasant situations. I wish I could help, but I am powerless within the family…”

”There's no need for you to apologize, Yu Rou. If anything, it should be the ones responsible that need to apologize. This means the Chairman of the Cultivators' Association and our parents.”

”...”

After a moment of silence, Yu Rou spoke, ”Brother, I am thinking about leaving the family and joining a faction.”

”Huh? W-Why would you do that?” Yuan was taken by surprise by her sudden reveal.

”Now that cultivation is widespread and the new trend, I want to take advantage of it, especially since I am currently ahead of many people. If I remain in the Yu Family, I will forever remain powerless. However, if I leave, I will at least have a chance to become an influential person without the help of my family.”

”It's not going to be easy, but I hope to become stronger than the Yu Family.”

Yuan was speechless after listening to Yu Rou's plans.

However, he didn't immediately dismiss it, and he asked, ”Where will you go?”
