Cultivation Online novel Chapter 488

Chapter 488 Don’t Underestimate Him

Sometime after listening to the whole story from Yu Yong, Meifeng prepared to return home.

"Meifeng, I know she is your daughter, but there’s nothing we can do. I guess we can only be happy for Meixiu that she’d caught the attention of someone prestigious like Chairman Zhao. If she’s with him and the Cultivators’ Association, I am sure that she will live a fulfilling life. And I apologize again for calling you here so late in the middle of the night. You can take tomorrow off if you’d like." Yu Yong said to her before she left.

Once she was in her car, Meifeng drove straight home while pondering the whole way there.

’The Chairman of the Cultivators’ Association... He’s definitely not someone the Yu Family can deal with, much less Meixiu... This is troublesome...’

After returning home, Meifeng went straight to the locked drawer beside her bed.

She then opened it and retrieved a burner phone and opened it.

A moment later, she dialed a number.

"Hello?" Meixiu answered the phone call quicker than Meifeng had expected since it was way past midnight.

"Why are you up so late at night?" Meifeng asked her.

"I can ask you the same... Why are you calling me so late at night, mother?"

"You’ve gotten a lot more courageous since you left the Yu Family— to the point where you even dare to talk back to me," Meifeng said. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

"Anyways, let me get straight to the topic. Are you aware how much trouble you’re in right now?"

"Trouble? What are you talking about?" Meixiu’s puzzled voice resounded.

"Do you remember when I told you that Chairman Zhao from the Cultivators’ Association had contacted the Yu Family? Well, the Yu Family has hired investigators to find out your whereabouts, and they have learned about the apartment. However, that’s not even the worst part. They know about the Young Master as well."

"What!" Meixiu exclaimed in a surprised voice.

The Yu Family went out of their way to hire investigators to look for her? Just how desperate are they trying to recruit her to the Cultivators’ Association?

"Even if they know about our location... Does it really matter? I am no longer with the Yu Family, nor do I want to join the Cultivators’ Association. It’s not like they can force me either." Meixiu said.

Meifeng sighed, "You are underestimating the world of adults and how influential some people are, Meixiu. There are some people out there who are so powerful that you have no choice but to agree."

"As for the Yu Family, they will make you return to the family whether you like it or not, and they will sell you to the Cultivators’ Association. In fact, the investigators are already preparing a team of cultivators to force you to return to the family."

"What! What should I do? I cannot leave Yua— Yu Tian’s side now!" Meixiu said.

"You can move out of that apartment before they get you, but that will only delay them since they will eventually find you again, and it won’t be easy moving in the street without being seen when you have to travel with the Young Master in his condition. Therefore, you can only confront this matter from the front."

"What are you trying to say?" Meixiu asked.

"I just want a peaceful life with him... Why is everyone making things so complicated?" She sighed in a low voice.

After a moment of silence, she muttered in a cold voice, "I won’t let anyone take him away from me now... no matter who they are..."

Meixiu then fell asleep for two short hours before waking up to prepare breakfast.

"Good morning, Meixiu... Hmm? You look tired. Did you not get enough sleep yesterday?" Yuan greeted her while using his Divine Sense.

"Yuan, I have some bad news," she said.

"What happened?"

Meixiu sighed and said, "It’s the Yu Family. They hired investigators to find me, and they now know about our location... Including the fact that you’re with me."

Yuan remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Even if they know about our location, what are they going to do about it? Force you to go back?"

Meixiu nodded, "From what my mother told me when she called me last night... Yes..."

"What? How is that even legal?" Yuan exclaimed.

"Well, it’s not, but when you’re powerful and influential like the Yu Family and the fact that they’re supported by the Chairman of the Cultivators’ Association... There’s really pretty much nothing they cannot get away with as long as it isn’t mass murder..." Meixiu sighed.
