"That's unfair! If they don't need to follow the rules because they are powerful, then this is no different than the cultivation world!"
"Well… If you really think about it, the cultivation world and this world are pretty similar in some aspects, especially if you're rich and powerful." Meixiu said.
Yuan sighed.
"What should we do then? Move?" He asked a moment later.
"I asked the same, but my mother said there's no point since they will find us again sooner or later."
"Miss Meifeng? Then what did she suggest?"
"She told us to confront them."
"Confront them? How?"
"By chasing them away, I guess."
"What? She wants us to chase them away? Is that even possible?"
"I will try."
"Don't tell me you're going to fight them?"
"..."
After a moment of silence, Meixiu said, "If it gets to that point, but you don't have to worry about me because I can protect myself just fine. I am more worried about you since you are vulnerable in that condition."
"Even if you say that…"
"Anyway, even if they are targeting me, it is my job to take care of you, and I won't be able to do that if they take me away from you."
Yuan sighed.
"Looks like we won't be able to play with Yu Rou and the others until this is all over. I will have to apologize to her later," he said a moment later.
"I will stay out here just in case they knock on the door."
"Okay."
After breakfast, Yuan entered Cultivation Online.
"Morning, brother. Where's Meixiu?" Yu Rou and Xia Jingyi greeted him.
"She won't be on today… Actually, we won't be able to play for the next few days."
"What? Why? Did something happen?" Yu Rou frowned.
Yuan nodded and said, "The Yu Family hired investigators to find us, and they are now planning on forcing Meixiu back so that she could join the Cultivators' Association."
Yuan explained the situation to them.
"What! They're still on that?! Unbelievable! How can they treat Meixiu like that?! I am going to speak with my parents later!" Yu Rou exclaimed in an angry voice.
Xia Jingyi was shocked. This was her first time hearing about their situation, too.
"Do you want me to talk to my parents about this? We can probably do something about them entering the apartment." Xia Jingyi said.
Yuan shook his head and said, "It's okay, I am sure we will be fine, and I don't want to drag your family into our trouble."
"Okay, but give me a call if you ever change your mind."
"Brother Tian, what is this Cultivators' Association?" Xiao Hua asked him.
"It's a complicated situation… I don't think I can even explain it." Yuan said to her.
"Don't worry, I will be back in a few days hopefully. Until then, you guys can play without us."
"I don't think we can play in peace knowing that you're in trouble…" Yu Rou sighed.
"Stay safe. I will still let my parents know so that they can keep watch, but they won't intervene unless absolutely necessary." Xia Jingyi said.
"Thank you." Yuan nodded.
"What are you going to do in the meantime?" Yu Rou then asked.
"Well, we're going to see what they're going to actually do. Until then, I really cannot say."
"Okay. Keep us updated." Yu Rou said.
Sometime later, Yuan logged off the game.
Yu Rou and Xia Jingyi also logged off shortly after since they were no longer in the mood to play.
"I have told Yu Rou and Xia Jingyi about the situation," Yuan said to Meixiu afterward.
"Now we just wait, huh?" Meixiu sighed.
"I am going to practice the Flying Daggers since that is the only way I can help you in case you're in trouble." Yuan then said.
"Flying Daggers? You'll kill them." Meixiu chuckled.
"..."
Yuan remained silent, his thoughts unknown.
"Anyways, I am going to cultivate too. Hopefully, I will be able to break into Spirit Warrior before they find us." Meixiu said before returning to her room.
Once Meixiu left, Yuan mumbled in a low voice, "If I have to protect you…"
Sometime later, Yuan cleared his mind and began practicing Flying Daggers, making incredible progress in just a single day.
Whoosh!
A kitchen knife flew around the room like a paper airplane, but unlike a paper airplane that could not be controlled, Yuan could control the direction and speed of the kitchen knife with precision.
Once he was confident with controlling a single kitchen knife, Yuan wondered if he could control two of them at once.
Although he has only ever tried to control one dagger at a time even in Cultivation Online, that was only because he only had the Starry Abyss, and that was the only dagger he really ever needed.
"Meixiu! Sorry to disturb your cultivation, but can you bring in a few more kitchen knives?" Yuan called out to her.
A minute later, Meixiu came into the room with two more kitchen knives in her hands, and she asked him, "Why do you need so many knives?"
"I want to see if I can control more than one at a time," he said.
"More than one…? Well, just don't overboard and hurt yourself…" Meixiu said as she placed the knives on the chair.
Once Meixiu left the room, Yuan immediately began trying to control two knives at once.
And to his surprise, he was able to lift two knives at once.
However, he quickly learned that while he could levitate two knives at once, controlling them simultaneously was an entirely separate story.
"This is much more difficult than I'd expected…" Yuan sighed out loud as he proceeded to spend the rest of the day trying to control two knives at once.
The following day, Yuan continued to practice his Flying Daggers while attempting to breakthrough to Spirit Master.
Time passed quickly, and before they were aware, almost a week had passed.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the city, Mister Johnson stood before four individuals emitting profound auras, all of them with cultivation at the seventh level with one even at the eighth level.
