Cultivation Online

Although Yuan wasn't sure where he was going, nor where the Chu Family was located, he knew that they were in the upper levels of the mountain.

After walking for about half an hour, Yuan came across his first building to the Chu Family, and he decided to ask the people living there if they knew where the Chu Family lived.

A maid answered the door a few moments after Yuan knocked on their doors.

"Hello? How can we help you, young man?"

Yuan greeted the old woman with a charming smile, "Good morning, madam. I'm sorry for disturbing your family so early in the morning. I am supposed to meet a friend in the Chu Family's household, but she never told me their location, and I am afraid that I might be late."

"You want to know where the Chu Family is located, is that correct?"

"Yes, if you don't mind telling me."

"It would be my pŀėȧsurė to help such a polite and handsome young man. Good news is you're going in the right direction. If you continue following this path, you will reach the Chu Family's household four buildings down. So if you see the next building, that would be the first building, and the Chu Family will be on the fourth."

"I understand. Thank you very much, and have a nice day!" Yuan bowed to the old woman before continuing his journey.

"Despite his innocent appearance, he sure has a formidable aura. He must be a powerful cultivator, and he is still so young. The Chu Family is very lucky to have a friend like him." The old woman mumbled to herself as she returned to cleaning her house.

Sometime later, Yuan arrived before a massive gate.

"This should be the Chu Family's household, but I don't see any buildings…" Yuan mumbled to himself.

After pondering for a moment, Yuan decided to jump the gate and follow the only path available.

He normally wouldn't do something like trespassing, but he didn't think the Chu Family deserves any respect for what they are doing to Chu Liuxiang.

After walking for about an hour, Yuan can finally see a building with his divine sense. Although his divine sense is still limited, he was able to see around 500 meters away, and he could keep it active for almost two hours without any rest.

Once he noticed the building, Yuan approached it without any hesitation.

'I am here now… But what should I do now?' Yuan began pondering, as he came to this place without much of a plan.

'Should I just bust the door down and let myself in?' He wondered.

However, he didn't need to spend much time pondering, because after standing in front of the Chu Family's house for less than a minute, someone opened the door and greeted him outside.

A handsome young man walked out of the building and stood a couple of meters away from Yuan.

"Wow, you really came. You're 'Yuan', right?" The handsome young man asked him.

"You were expecting me?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"No, not exactly. We had a feeling that you might come, but we weren't certain. As for my identity, I am Chu Wuyang, Chu Lixuiang's elder brother," said the handsome young man.

And before Yuan could say anything, Chu Wuyang continued, "You're here for my little sister, right?"

"Since you already know, let's not make things difficult."

Chu Wuyang shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, that's not how things work around here. You may be the famous Player Yuan, but your identity has no influence here."

"My parents have already decided that Chu Liuxiang will be marrying into the Qin Family, a rival of ours that we have been fighting for hundreds of years. They figured that it was about time for them to end their hostile relationship with each other with marriage."

"Luckly, the eldest son of the Qin Family has feelings for my little sister, or of this would've been possible. And if you think my parents are going to give up the chance to befriend the Qin Family that has been a pain in our buŧŧ for the last few centuries, then you know nothing about our Chu Family."

Yuan coldly snorted after hearing Chu Wuyang's words, "So what if I don't know the Chu Family? That doesn't matter to me. I didn't come here for the Chu Family. I came here for my friend, Chu Liuxiang."

"I also don't give a damn about what the Chu Family wants. They have no right to decide who Chu Liuxiang spends her life with. Only Chu Liuxiang can make that decision alone."

However, instead of being angry, Chu Wuyang started laughing at Yuan's words.

"You sure bark loud for a nobody. Chu Liuxiang is not even truly part of the Chu Family. She should be grateful for being allowed to live with us. The Chu Family gave her everything when she had nothing. We gave her a home, a family, servants, treasures— many things that will make most people on earth jealous. However, when the Chu Family asks her for one thing in return, she has the audacity to refuse. Talk about being ungrateful."

Yuan frowned at his words and said, "I have met a lot of unreasonable people, but of them were like you. You're special— a special type of unreasonable."

"If you 'help' someone with the intention of asking for something in return, are you really helping that person? Sounds like to me you're merely taking advantage of someone who needs help."

This is exactly why he doesn't ask for compensation when he gives away free stuff, and he most certainly does not expect anyone to return the favor, as it was his decision to help them in the first place.

"You know what? I have heard enough of your nonsense. If you're not going to give Chu Liuxiang back, I will take her back myself." Yuan said a moment before releasing some of his aura.

Chu Wuyang did not have much of a reaction and even smiled, "Do you think you're the only Spirit Master in this world?"

"Hah!"

Chu Wuyang released his aura, revealing that he was also a Spirit Master.
