Cultivation Online Chapter 232 I Can Only Trust You

"Well, can you think of soone? I can only think of one person when it cos to ’trust’." Yuan said a mont later.

"Really? Who?" Yu Rou asked in a truly puzzled voice.

"ixiu," Yuan quickly answered.

"..."

Yu Rou turned silent.

"It’s true that ixiu can be trusted... But..." Yu Rou pondered with a perplexed frown on her face.

While she can trust ixiu to take care of Yuan in her stead, even keeping his secret as Player Yuan, she was worried that they would develop so sort of relationship with each other from spending too much ti together and that her relationship with Yuan might grow further apart as a result.

"Oh, right... She’s your personal maid, nor can we really separate her from you just to help , much less giving her such a burden that is ... That would be way too selfish of . I guess we’ll just have to find so random person to help and hope for the best. If my identity as Player Yuan is revealed, it is what it is... I highly doubt that’ll make my life more miserable than currently," Yuan sighed.

"..."

Yu Rou turned silent once again, and then she said a mont later, "Brother... Let speak with ixiu to see if she wants to help you. Of course, I won’t command her or anything like that, and it will be entirely up to her whether she helps or not. How does that sound?"

"Are you sure? You’ve been with ixiu for all your life, and she has been your servant for as long as well. I don’t think I can really separate the two of you."

"Don’t worry, brother. It’s not like ixiu will stop helping . Furthermore, I can say the sa to you, as ixiu has been in our lives for almost the sa ti, and she’s almost like a second sister to us at this point."

"I guess you can go ahead and ask her. However, don’t force her, Yu Rou. Even if you are trying to help , I don’t want you to force ixiu, because I won’t accept her help if that’s the case."

"Who do you think I am, brother? I am not unreasonable like so people in this family. I won’t force her— I swear."

"Okay... If you say so."

"Are you going to play Cultivation Online today?" Yu Rou asked him after their daily routine.

"No, I’ll take a break today. There’s nothing to do until next week, anyway."

"Okay."

After cleaning up, Yu Rou went to eat her own breakfast and prepared for school.

On her way to school, Yu Rou asked ixiu while they sat in the car.

"ixiu, I have sothing important to ask you." Yu Rou stared at ixiu in the eyes with a serious look on her face.

"What is it, Young Lady?"

Yu Rou took a deep breath, and she began explaining to her the situation regarding Yuan.

"Well, my parents are thinking about making Brother Tian play instrunts inside Cultivation Online as he used to when he was young, but my brother refused. The thing is... if he refuses, they will disown him and kick him out of the house..."

"What?!" ixiu covered her mouth in shock, as she could almost not believe her ears. "How could the Masters..."

"What does the Young Lady and Young Master plan on doing?" ixiu couldn’t help but ask, as this will definitely change the entire household as a whole.

"We don’t really know yet, but Brother Tian intends on leaving the family and living by himself. However, his condition doesn’t exactly allow that... Therefore, he’s thinking about hiring soone else to take care of him, as he doesn’t want to bear the burden anymore."

"That’s very like the Young Master." ixiu nodded.

"But the problem is that I don’t know anyone I trust enough to take care of Brother Tian. There are many bad people out there— heartless people who will mistreat or take advantage of Brother Tian’s condition, and I fear that very much." Yu Rou spoke from the bottom of her heart.

While it sounded like she was trying to get sympathy from ixiu so that she could pressure ixiu with guilt, that was not the case, as Yu Rou truly feared that soone might take advantage of Yuan.

"Indeed, this world is filled with nasty people." Unexpectedly, ixiu agreed.

"Anyways, I have been thinking about people who I trust enough to take care of Brother Tian, and after thinking about it for very long, I could only think of a single person that I trust enough— and that’s you, ixiu."

"M-...?" ixiu pointed at herself with a startled look on her face. "But I am the Young Lady’s..."

"I know." Yu Rou quickly interrupted, and she continued, "I know that you’re my personal maid and that you’ve been for almost my entire life, but I can only trust you to take care of Brother Tian. Of course, I am only asking you, and if you refuse, I won’t hold anything against you since I know very well from experience how difficult it could be at tis to take care of Brother Tian, especially if you’re doing it every day for years, and even brother himself said that it’s all up to you whether you want to listen to our request or not."

"You don’t need to give an answer right away. Think about it. We’ll continue this conversation when we co back ho," Yu Rou then said.

"I understand, Young Lady." ixiu nodded, feeling many perplexed emotions in her heart.

While Yu Rou went to school, Yuan focused on cultivation.

’Now that even my own parents have given up hope on , I can only rely on Yu Rou and myself to survive! I should’ve expected this outco sooner or later!’ Yuan gritted his teeth in frustration, his heart burning with the desire and passion to crawl out of this hellhole.

’Cultivation is now my only hope to recover! Even if it’s not a full recovery, I will be satisfied with a partial recovery!’

At this mont, unbeknownst to Yuan, the flas within his heart began pulsating, and the golden symbols engraved in his bones began to glow brightly.
