"Did sothing happen?" ixiu asked her.
"That’s what I want to ask you. What happened? Did you offend the Chairman? Why would soone like him be searching for you?" ifeng asked her.
"Well..." ixiu proceeded to explain to her mother what had occurred at the Cultivators’ Association today.
ifeng remained silent for a good mont after hearing ixiu’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, ixiu? 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 that," ixiu said.
ifeng hung up the phone shortly after.
"Haaa..." ixiu sighed out loud.
However, before she could even think about the situation, her phone began ringing again.
It was Yu Rou.
ixiu answered the phone but didn’t say anything.
"ixiu? Are you okay? My father is looking for you for so reason." Yu Rou’s voice then resounded.
ixiu 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 exclaid in an angry voice, "What?! How shaless! 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." ixiu 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 sothing."
"Alright. If you need anything, call , okay?"
"I will. See you tomorrow." ixiu said.
After hanging up, ixiu went to Yuan’s room and explained to him the situation.
"What a pain in the a.s.s. Now I regret going to register." Yuan sighed out loud.
"What do you think we should do?" ixiu 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?" ixiu then asked.
"Wouldn’t that just attract their attention? Judging by what Miss ifeng 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 sothing, but that’s all I can think of for now."
"Okay." ixiu nodded.
Soti later, ixiu 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 sothing happen?" Feng Yuxiang asked him, as he usually doesn’t return until morning.
"Sothing like that." Yuan nodded.
"Is there anything we can do to help?" Xiao Hua then asked.
"Unfortunately, no..."
He then said, "Feng Feng, do you rember when I asked you if you know any doctors?"
"Yes, but I haven’t been able to sense that person yet, and he never stays in one place for long, so I have no idea where he is. Why do you need to see him so suddenly?" Feng Yuxiang said.
After a mont of silence, he said, "My friend... He’s sick, and I need him to heal as soon as possible. Although he’s recovering... he’s not recovering not fast enough."
"I see... Okay, I will see what I can do." Feng Yuxiang ca out of his body and continued, "I will go ask around and see if I can find him."
Yuan nodded, "Thank you, Feng Feng. I will be eting my sister tomorrow at Seashell City. We probably won’t go far."
"Don’t worry, Young Master. I will be able to find you as long as you’re still in the Lower Heavens." Feng Yuxiang said.
"I will return as soon as possible, Young Master."
"Yes, see you soon."
Feng Yuxiang flew away shortly after.
Xiao Hua appeared beside him after Feng Yuxiang left, and she asked him, "Are you really okay, Brother Yuan?"
Yuan took a deep breath before sighing out loud, "I... I hate feeling powerless. Even though my friend is in trouble, I cannot do anything about it— I really hate that feeling."
Xiao Hua wasn’t sure what to say, as this is her first ti seeing Yuan acting this gloomy.
"You’re not powerless, my Lord. Even if you feel helpless, you have us. I’m sure we’ll figure sothing out." Lan Yingying said to him.
"Thank you, Yingying," Yuan said to her with a slight smile, feeling a little better.
Soti later, he said to them before logging off, "I will see you guys tomorrow morning."
"Goodnight, my Lord."
"See you later, Brother Yuan."
Once he logged off, Yuan proceeded to spend the rest of the night trying to breakthrough to Spirit Master, but alas, it didn’t work.
The following morning, after breakfast, Yuan and ixiu logged into the ga and made their way to Seashell City to et up with Yu Rou.
"Eh? Feng Feng went sowhere last night?" ixiu was surprised to hear this.
Who will carry her now?
"I can carry you if you don’t mind," Yuan suddenly said to her.
"Or are you still not ready for it?" He rembered what she said before.
"Uhh..."
ixiu wasn’t sure how to respond.
However, the scene of Xuan Wuhan kissing Yuan on the cheeks suddenly flashed into her mind.
ixiu gritted her teeth for a mont before nodding her head with a resolute look on her face.
"Please carry ," she said with a rosy face.
After getting her approval, Yuan retrieved the flying sword before carrying ixiu in his arms like a princess.
The next mont, Yuan jumped on the sword and soared towards the sky with Xiao Hua by his side, leaving Long Chen City in a flash.
