"Good morning, Young Master. You’re up earlier than usual today," ifeng said to him after coming out of his room.
"I actually spent the night cultivating," he said with a smile.
"I see..."
After eating breakfast, Yuan would spend about two hours just playing the piano without any rest.
Afterward, he would continue practicing the movent technique.
anwhile, Yu Rou stood before her parents.
"How did it go?" Yu Yong asked her.
"It failed. ixiu refused to return even when I asked." Yu Rou said.
"Che!" Tang Lee sneered in disgust.
"ixiu appeared to be enjoying her current life with Yu Tian. I think it’d be for the better if we didn’t disturb their new life." Yu Rou said.
"I have a feeling that you didn’t even bother to convince her. Tell , Yu Rou, what exactly did you do yesterday when you spent an entire day at their place?" Yu Yong asked her in a solemn voice.
"I tried to convince ixiu to return to the family, but when it failed, I remained there to hang out with them since it’s been a while." Yu Rou said in a casual voice.
And before her parents could speak, she continued, "I don’t know why you want ixiu back so desperately, but even if she used to serve , rember that ixiu was trained to serve Yu Tian. My brother was the reason that ixiu even wanted to be a maid in the first place, so if you’re thinking about tearing them apart, it won’t happen."
"Hmph! Leave! And you’re still forbidden to contact that trash since you didn’t get any satisfactory results!" Tang Lee said to her.
Yu Rou frowned, but she didn’t say anything and left the place.
"Looks like we’ll have to rely on the rcenaries. Chairman Zhao has been getting more impatient as well." Yu Yong sighed.
He then retrieved his cellphone to give Mister Johnson a call.
Three days passed by in a flash, and soone knocked on Yuan’s apartnt early in the morning.
"Delivery!"
ixiu went to open the door since she was expecting this package.
"Thank you."
After accepting the package, ixiu went to the living room and called out to Yuan, "Yu Tian, your masks have arrived."
A few monts later, Yuan ca out of the bathroom.
"Great. Let’s see what we have."
After opening the package, Yuan could see over a dozen different masks in the package.
"Hmm? Did they give us more than we ordered by accident? I don’t rember picking most of these." Yuan said.
"Oh, I forgot to ntion it but I decided to buy a few more afterward just in case we needed it. I even picked a new design for so of them if you ever get bored of one." ixiu said.
"I see, that makes sense. Thanks."
Yuan picked one randomly and wore it on his face.
"What do you think?" He asked them.
"You give off a mysterious feeling. I like it, Young Master." ifeng gave her opinion.
"I think it looks good, too." ixiu nodded calmly, as she was already used to seeing him wear masks in Cultivation Online.
"Great. Then I will be wearing one of these while I visit the Cultivators’ Association tomorrow."
"You’re really planning on going there? It’s going to be dangerous..." ifeng said.
"If I don’t go, they will continue ssing with ixiu, and I am not going to sit around and let it happen. Now that I am no longer useless, I am going to do sothing useful with my body for once." Yuan said with a stern look on his face.
"..."
After a mont of silence, ifeng said, "If you’re going, then I will go with you."
"Eh? You will? But won’t you cause trouble for the Yu Family?" Yuan said.
ifeng then picked up one of the available masks and wore it on her face.
"I won’t cause any trouble if they don’t know who I am," she chuckled.
"Furthermore, you’ll need so backup just in case anything happens."
"What about—"
"You stay here." ifeng interrupted ixiu before she could even finish speaking.
"Don’t worry, I will be more than enough to guarantee the Young Master’s safety."
"I understand..." ixiu said, clearly discontent with the results, but she didn’t want to argue with her mother, and since she’s wanted by the Cultivators’ Association, it would be better if she didn’t go to their main headquarters.
That night, Yuan went to sleep to make sure he was in top condition for tomorrow.
"Looks like you’re finally going to do sothing about the situation."
The handso man appeared in his dreams again.
"You again?" Yuan sighed.
Ever since he’d started walking, he would have to deal with this handso man who’s supposedly him before his reincarnation every ti he went to sleep.
"Why are you not happy to see ? This ans that you’re slowly recovering your mories."
"What if I don’t want these mories?" Yuan said with a frown.
"You don’t want to rember? Even though it’ll make you stronger? Are you afraid that you might beco a different person once you rember everything?" The handso man asked Yuan even though he already knew the answer.
"Everybody will change if given enough ti. This is not sothing you can prevent no matter how powerful you are. However, you are in control of what kind of person you want to be, so why are you afraid?"
"I am not afraid," Yuan said in a calm voice.
And he continued, "I just don’t want to experience unnecessary emotions that you— I felt before. What happened in the past happened in the past. I don’t need to know about it."
The handso man smiled and said, "If you don’t care about what happened in the past, you wouldn’t exist right now."
"What do you an by that?" Yuan frowned slightly.
"You exist for a reason— reincarnated for a reason. You may not understand it now, but you will eventually rember everything and understand your reason for existing."
The handso man then looked towards the sky and said, "It’s about ti for you to wake up. I look forward to what you’re going to do today. Perhaps you’ve already started changing— you just don’t realize it."
After that sentence ended, Yuan woke up from his sleep.
