Soti after listening to the whole story from Yu Yong, ifeng prepared to return ho.
"ifeng, I know she is your daughter, but there’s nothing we can do. I guess we can only be happy for ixiu that she’d caught the attention of soone prestigious like Chairman Zhao. If she’s with him and the Cultivators’ Association, I am sure that she will live a fulfilling life. And I apologize again for calling you here so late in the middle of the night. You can take tomorrow off if you’d like." Yu Yong said to her before she left.
Once she was in her car, ifeng drove straight ho while pondering the whole way there.
’The Chairman of the Cultivators’ Association... He’s definitely not soone the Yu Family can deal with, much less ixiu... This is troubleso...’
After returning ho, ifeng went straight to the locked drawer beside her bed.
She then opened it and retrieved a burner phone and opened it.
A mont later, she dialed a number.
"Hello?" ixiu answered the phone call quicker than ifeng had expected since it was way past midnight.
"Why are you up so late at night?" ifeng asked her.
"I can ask you the sa... Why are you calling so late at night, mother?"
"You’ve gotten a lot more courageous since you left the Yu Family— to the point where you even dare to talk back to ," ifeng said.
"Anyways, let get straight to the topic. Are you aware how much trouble you’re in right now?"
"Trouble? What are you talking about?" ixiu’s puzzled voice resounded.
"Do you rember when I told you that Chairman Zhao from the Cultivators’ Association had contacted the Yu Family? Well, the Yu Family has hired investigators to find out your whereabouts, and they have learned about the apartnt. However, that’s not even the worst part. They know about the Young Master as well."
"What!" ixiu exclaid in a surprised voice.
The Yu Family went out of their way to hire investigators to look for her? Just how desperate are they trying to recruit her to the Cultivators’ Association?
"Even if they know about our location... Does it really matter? I am no longer with the Yu Family, nor do I want to join the Cultivators’ Association. It’s not like they can force either." ixiu said.
ifeng sighed, "You are underestimating the world of adults and how influential so people are, ixiu. There are so people out there who are so powerful that you have no choice but to agree."
"As for the Yu Family, they will make you return to the family whether you like it or not, and they will sell you to the Cultivators’ Association. In fact, the investigators are already preparing a team of cultivators to force you to return to the family."
"What! What should I do? I cannot leave Yua— Yu Tian’s side now!" ixiu said.
"You can move out of that apartnt before they get you, but that will only delay them since they will eventually find you again, and it won’t be easy moving in the street without being seen when you have to travel with the Young Master in his condition. Therefore, you can only confront this matter from the front."
"What are you trying to say?" ixiu asked.
"Do you rember what I taught you? What you should do if there are people who threaten the Young Master’s safety?" ifeng asked her.
"...I can’t forget it even if I want to..." ixiu mumbled in a low voice.
"Good, and since you’re a cultivator, you should be even more powerful. Just make sure you don’t kill them and you should be fine. Ah, make sure you report it to the police afterward just in case."
"I won’t be contacting you again for a while since the Yu Family is suspecting that I’d helped with your disappearance. Once you have dealt with the problem, call on my burner only after midnight."
"I understand."
"Make sure you keep the Young Master safe since there’s a good chance that they might use the Young Master to force you to return."
A slight smile appeared on ixiu’s face when she recalled Yuan’s flying dagger technique and said, "Don’t underestimate him, mother. He may not be able to move properly, but I doubt there’s anyone more powerful than him right now."
ifeng was left speechless for once by ixiu.
"What do you an by that?" She couldn’t help but ask.
"You’ll find out eventually, mother. Anyway, I am going to get so sleep. You should too. Goodnight." ixiu closed the connection before ifeng could even respond.
"This little girl definitely got more courageous, even a little cheeky... Sothing must have happened..." ifeng mumbled to herself before lying on her bed and falling asleep.
anwhile, ixiu laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling with a dazed look on her face.
"I just want a peaceful life with him... Why is everyone making things so complicated?" She sighed in a low voice.
After a mont of silence, she muttered in a cold voice, "I won’t let anyone take him away from now... no matter who they are..."
ixiu then fell asleep for two short hours before waking up to prepare breakfast.
"Good morning, ixiu... Hmm? You look tired. Did you not get enough sleep yesterday?" Yuan greeted her while using his Divine Sense.
"Yuan, I have so bad news," she said.
"What happened?"
ixiu sighed and said, "It’s the Yu Family. They hired investigators to find , and they now know about our location... Including the fact that you’re with ."
Yuan remained silent for a mont before speaking, "Even if they know about our location, what are they going to do about it? Force you to go back?"
ixiu nodded, "From what my mother told when she called last night... Yes..."
"What? How is that even legal?" Yuan exclaid.
"Well, it’s not, but when you’re powerful and influential like the Yu Family and the fact that they’re supported by the Chairman of the Cultivators’ Association... There’s really pretty much nothing they cannot get away with as long as it isn’t mass murder..." ixiu sighed.
