Cultivation Online

Chapter 285 - Phone Call

”Young Master? Miss Meifeng is no longer here. You can call me Yuan again.” Yuan said to Meixiu.

”Oh, right…” Meixiu realized that sheʼd subconsciously reverted back to her old ways of addressing him after her motherʼs unexpected visit.

After calling Yu Rouʼs cell phone, Meixiu waited for her to answer.

One and a half rings later, Yu Rou picked up the phone and said, ”Hello? Meixiu? Are you back at Brother Tianʼs place right now?”

”Yes, Young— Sister Rou. I am with him right now,” Meixiu responded.

”Great! Can you pass the phone to him? You can even turn on the speaker.”

Meixiu then turned on the speaker before placing the phone a few inches beside Yuanʼs head.

”Hello? Can you hear me?” Yu Rouʼs voice resounded on the speaker.

”I can hear you, Yu Rou,” Yuan said.

”Phew! It feels like forever since I last heard your voice! And Iʼm sorry that I didnʼt call you early, Brother Tian. Even though I cannot see you, the thought of calling you never entered my mind for some reason.”

”Donʼt worry about it.”

”Is Miss Meifeng still there?”

”No, she just left.”

”I see… Then I will assume that sheʼd already told you everything regarding Meixiuʼs situation.”

”Thatʼs right. Miss Meifeng told me everything. But are you sure about this, Yu Rou? What about your caretaker? Will you be fine alone?”

”Are you underestimating me, brother? Did you forget that it was me who took care of you for the last couple of years? I think I can handle myself just fine!” Yu Rou said in a prideful voice.

”I guess youʼre right, Yu Rou. Iʼm sorry for doubting you. I just wanted to make sure.”

”Donʼt worry about it. Anyways, I promised Xia Jingyi that I will play Cultivation Online in a bit so letʼs get to the topic.”

After taking a deep breath, Yu Rou said, ”Doctor Wang called me last night, and he said that heʼll be visiting you later this afternoon. I gave him your address, so he should be there soon.”

”Doctor Wang…? I understand.” Yuan said.

”Next, letʼs talk about your bank account. I have created another bank account for you and Meixiu, so youʼll both have access to it. As for the account that will be selling the items, I will send the information to Meixiu after this call.”

”Meixiu, make sure you follow the instructions! Though, itʼs probably going to be impossible to completely hide Brother Tianʼs identity since heʼs selling a Divine-grade treasure, something only Player Yuan would have at this moment, especially when itʼs a zither and everybody knows that heʼd participated in a zither competition.”

”I understand,” Meixiu said.

”Anyways, this is all I have for now. Iʼll call you tomorrow morning again, Brother Tian and Meixiu!” Yu Rou said to them before hanging up the phone.

”Now, letʼs—”

Just as Yuan opened his mouth to speak, Meixiuʼs cell phone began ringing again.

”Did you forget something?” Meixiu asked Yu Rou who called back for some reason.

”Right, I almost forgot to tell you that your stuff has been packed, and it will be shipped to your place tomorrow. Bye!” Yu Rou said before hanging up again.

”Anyways, what should we do now? I wanted to play with you when you returned, but Doctor Wang will be arriving soon.” Yuan sighed.

”Itʼs okay, Yuan. Now that I have left the Yu Family and school, I can stay home all day and play whenever you want.” Meixiu said to him.

”Eh? You donʼt plan on going to school?” Yuan asked her in a surprised voice.

”I donʼt know yet, but I certainly donʼt have the funds to go to school since the Yu Family wonʼt be supporting me once they learn of my leave.”

”If itʼs money you need, once we sell the Divine-rank treasure, we should have more than enough to pay for your school!” Yuan said.

”The money from the game…?” Meixiu mumbled.

”Donʼt you want to go to school, Meixiu? Youʼll still get to see Yu Rou if you do.” Yuan asked her.

After pondering for a moment, Meixiu said, ”I… donʼt really want to go to school if I am being honest. Itʼs a musical school filled with talented musicians but I canʼt even play a single instrument, making me feel out of place. And while there are classes not related to music, I learned these things years ago when I was a child. The only reason I went to school was because of Sister Rou.”

”If you donʼt want to go to school, there is really nothing I can do. Since thatʼs the case, letʼs play Cultivation Online together until you find something you want to do.” Yuan said to her after a moment of silence.

”Okay.” Meixiu nodded.

Half an hour later, Doctor Wang appeared before their doorsteps and knocked on the door.

”Oh, Meixiu. I guess this is the right place since youʼre here.” Doctor Wang greeted her with a smile.

”May I come inside the apartment and see the Young Master?” Doctor Wang then asked.

Meixiu nodded.

”Young Master, how are you feeling?” Doctor Wang asked after entering his room.

”Doctor Wang, you can stop addressing me as Young Master now that I am no longer with the Yu Family,” Yuan said to him.

”But I have been calling you ʼYoung Masterʼ for almost ten years now. Itʼs going to be awkward for me to suddenly change it.”

”I guess whatever makes you feel more comfortable.” Yuan then said.

”Thank you, Young Master. Anyways, I have heard about your situation from the Young Lady and I really donʼt know what to say…” Doctor Wang sighed, his gaze on Yuan a pitiful one.

”The Yu Family… what are they thinking, disowning their own son, not to mention the condition youʼre in… I have been speechless ever since I learned about it. When I told my granddaughter about it, she even bawled her eyes out for an hour straight.” Doctor Wang shook his head.

After all, what kind of parents would throw away their disabled son out like trash because he didnʼt want to work for them?
