Chapter 488: Dont 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 theres nothing we can do. I guess we can only be happy for Meixiu that shed caught the attention of someone prestigious like Chairman Zhao. If shes 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 youd 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... Hes 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?
Youve 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.
Anyways, let me get straight to the topic. Are you aware how much trouble youre in right now?
Trouble? What are you talking about? Meixius 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, thats 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. Its 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 Tians 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 wont 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.
Do you remember what I taught you? What you should do if there are people who threaten the Young Masters safety? Meifeng asked her.
...I cant forget it even if I want to... Meixiu mumbled in a low voice.
Good, and since youre a cultivator, you should be even more powerful. Just make sure you dont kill them and you should be fine. Ah, make sure you report it to the police afterward just in case.
I wont be contacting you again for a while since the Yu Family is suspecting that Id helped with your disappearance. Once you have dealt with the problem, call me on my burner only after midnight.
I understand.
Make sure you keep the Young Master safe since theres a good chance that they might use the Young Master to force you to return.
A slight smile appeared on Meixius face when she recalled Yuans flying dagger technique and said, Dont underestimate him, mother. He may not be able to move properly, but I doubt theres anyone more powerful than him right now.
Meifeng was left speechless for once by Meixiu.
What do you mean by that? She couldnt help but ask.
Youll find out eventually, mother. Anyway, I am going to get some sleep. You should too. Goodnight. Meixiu closed the connection before Meifeng could even respond.
This little girl definitely got more courageous, even a little cheeky... Something must have happened... Meifeng mumbled to herself before lying on her bed and falling asleep.
Meanwhile, Meixiu laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling with a dazed look on her face.
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 wont 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, Its the Yu Family. They hired investigators to find me, and they now know about our location... Including the fact that youre 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, its not, but when youre powerful and influential like the Yu Family and the fact that theyre supported by the Chairman of the Cultivators Association... Theres really pretty much nothing they cannot get away with as long as it isnt mass murder... Meixiu sighed.
