By the time Yuan and Chu Liuxiang returned home, everyone except Meixiu was already seated at the dining table.
"Huh? Yuan? Where have you been? Meixiu went to look for you in your room just now." Wang Ming said to him when they returned.
"Sorry, I had some business at the Chu Family." Yuan said to them.
"I'll go find Meixiu. You guys can eat first."
Yuan and Chu Liuxiang went back to his room to find Meixiu knocking on their door.
"There's no need to knock. We're here." Yuan said to her.
"Huh?" Meixiu turned around to see them standing behind her, and Yuan looked a little messy, almost as though he'd been in a fight recently.
"What happened to you?" She asked.
"I went to the Chu Family to bring her back." Yuan pointed at Chu Liuxiang, who had a bashful smile on her face.
"It's a little embarrassing, but I had some trouble at home, and Yuan came to save me," she said.
"Well… Breakfast is prepared…" Meixiu didn't know what else to say.
Yuan nodded, "I will tell you guys about it at the dining table. Let me change my clothes first."
"Me too."
"Okay."
While Meixiu returned to the others, Yuan and Chu Liuxiang changed their clothes before making their way back to the dining room.
Everybody there could tell that something was on Yuan's mind when they saw his expression, but nobody said a word until after breakfast was finished.
"If you have something to say, say it already." Li Jinxi was the first to speak out.
Yuan sighed before nodding his head, "Alright. This might be a lot, but it's important. Today, I went to the Chu Family and kind of fought them."
"You what?!" Wang Ming exclaimed.
"They were going to take Lulu away from us and force her to marry some family she doesn't want to be with, so I went there to take her back by force. I fought her parents and crippled her father's cultivation before bringing her back, and because of my actions, there's a good chance that we're going to get evicted from the mountain soon…"
The entire place turned dead silent as everyone in the room stared at him with gawking faces.
"W-W-Wait… Why don't you start from the beginning and slow down?" Shi Lang said.
Yuan nodded and recalled the whole incident from the beginning.
Of course, everyone there was shocked by what they heard. None of them could've expected Yuan to invade the Chu Family by himself while they were all sleeping.
