?1488 Sudden Visit
After her interview with Wang Ming, Yan Xiaoxiao took a break and ate lunch with the Demon Sealing Faction.
Just as Meifeng started serving the food, Chu Liuxiang appeared in the dining room.
"Oh? You must be our interviewer. Nice to meet you. I'm Chu Liuxiang."
"Hm?" Yan Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Liuxiang with raised eyebrows. She hadn't really put any thought into it before, but after seeing Chu Liuxiang's face, she found the name extremely familiar.
"Ah! I remember now! You're the Chu Family's Young Lady! How are your parents? They've helped me plenty with my career. They also live on this mountain, right? I should give them a visit later."
"The Chu Family…" Chu Liuxiang made a weird expression after being reminded of them.
It has been a while since she left the Chu Family. She had been expecting their retaliation for some time now for crippling Chu Shijian, but to her surprise, they hadn't tried to do anything to Yuan or the Demon Sealing Faction.
"Actually, I've left the Chu Family due to some circumstances, and it's been a while since I left, so I don't know about their situation," she shook her head.
"I-is that so?" Despite her curiosity, Yan Xiaoxiao refrained from questioning any further and stopped talking altogether.
'The Chu Family, huh?' Yuan sighed inwardly.
'I was still immature back then. Although they showed hostility toward me, it was mostly due to a misunderstanding. Due to my inability to settle things properly, Lulu had to leave her family on bad terms.'
Yuan wondered if he should also visit the Chu Family again to see if he could recitfy their bad relationship. Since the Chu Family hadn't attempted to take revenge for that incident, it meant they were still redeemable.
'The Qi Family, as well. I wonder how they're doing nowadays…'
Since Yuan had to figure out how to leave the Shadow Realm with his life intact, he wasn't in a hurry to return to Cultivation Online.
'That spirit is definitely waiting for my return.'
Without Heaven's Supremacy, there was simply no way for him to defeat the sword spirit, even with his experience as the Evil God.
'The sword spirit didn't leave the Giant's Sword even once when attacked me. Perhaps she cannot separate from it because she's its spirit? In that case, I might be able to escape.'
Yuan spent the rest of the meal in silence, pondering ways to escape from the sword spirit and Vanishing Valley safely.
After the meal, Yan Xiaoxiao continued her interview with the members, starting with Xi Murong.
Meanwhile, Yuan approached Chu Liuxiang and asked her, "Lulu, I am thinking about giving the Chu Family another visit. Do you want to come with me?"
"Huh?! Why? This is too sudden!"
"After being reminded of their existence, I can't help but recall that incident. If I had handled things better, we might've been able to talk things out with your family. In the end, I crippled your father's cultivation because of a mere misunderstanding."
Chu Liuxiang fell silent.
A moment later, she sighed, "Other than their decision to suddenly marry me into the Qin Family, they've treated me like any ordinary parents would. My annoying siblings aside, my parents never hated me. Honestly, the way I left the Chu Family had left a bitter taste in my mouth that would occasionally return every time I think about them, but what can we do at this point? I doubt we can rectify things after so much has happened."
"You won't know until you try."
After another moment of silence, Chu Liuxiang nodded with a resolute expression, "Alright, let's give them a visit. I am also curious about how things ended up with the Qin Family after that. When do you want to visit them?"
