Cultivation Online

Chapter 941: Playing Catch

”Xiuying, Iʼm going to leave earlier than expected. Sorry for all of the troubles that I had caused you and this sect.” Yuan suddenly said to her.

”Huh? Why?”

”I have a feeling that something will happen soon, and I donʼt want you or this sect to get caught up in it, so Iʼm going to leave. Donʼt worry, weʼll see each other again on the other side sooner or later.” He smiled.

”Okay…” She nodded.

Wang Xiuying logged off Cultivation Online sometime later while Yuan traveled to the Stairway to Heaven.

”Xiao Hua.” He suddenly called for her when he arrived.

”Yes?” She appeared beside him and proceeded to stare at him with a pondering gaze.

”Letʼs play catch.”

”Huh?” Xiao Huaʼs eyes widened with surprise.

”I promised to play catch with you again, remember? Letʼs do it now. I still have a couple of days before I have to leave for my sisterʼs birthday.” Yuan smiled.

”Un!”

Xiao Huaʼs face immediately became filled with bliss, and she retrieved the red ball they used before.

”Thereʼs no need to hold back this time. And letʼs get some distance.” Yuan said to her before flying a few hundred meters away.

Xiao Hua also flew into the air shortly after.

Once they were ready, Xiao Hua tossed the red ball at Yuan with all of her strength.

The red ball disappeared the instant it left her hands, and it appeared in front of Yuan faster than one could blink, almost as though the ball had teleported.

PA!

A loud noise resounded as Yuan caught the ball with his bare hands, and he was pushed back a few meters by the impact.

”Iʼm really glad you held back before. If youʼd used your full strength when we first met, I wouldʼve definitely died a horrible death.” Yuan smiled as he looked at the ball, his hands trembling from it.

”Let me go back a bit further!” He said to her before increasing their distance by a couple hundred more meters.

Whoosh!

Yuan tossed the ball back at Xiao Hua using 50 percent of his strength, as he was worried that he might accidentally hurt her.

The red ball flew faster than a bullet, and a single streak of red light appeared in the sky.

However, Xiao Hua casually caught the ball with a single hand, and she said afterward, ”Thereʼs no need to hold back, Brother Yuan.”

And she proceeded to throw the ball back at him.

ʼT-That was even stronger than her first throw! Is she subconsciously holding back?ʼ Yuan wondered to himself after catching the ball that felt a lot heavier.

ʼAnd what kind of material is this ball made out of? To withstand such abuse…ʼ

The two of them would spend the next few hours playing catch ball, and by the time they were done, the trees beneath them were all bent in an unnatural manner due to the pressure caused by their game.

”Itʼs been a while since Iʼve worked up so much sweat. Letʼs do this again tomorrow.” Yuan said to her afterward.

”Okay.” Xiao Hua eagerly nodded.

Yuan logged off shortly after to have dinner with the others.

Meanwhile, Wang Xiuying spoke to her grandfather about joining Yuanʼs faction during dinner.

”So I have decided to join Yu Tianʼs faction and move in with him at the Dragon Spiral Mountain. However, this means that I wonʼt be able to work at the hospital any longer. What do you think, grandpa?”

”The Young Master created a faction? When?” Doctor Wang raised his eyebrows.

”A while ago. Youʼve probably heard of it. Itʼs called the Demon Sealing Faction.”

”Huh? I have heard of it, but thatʼs Player Yuanʼs faction, isnʼt it?”

”Hm? Oh, right. You didnʼt know. Well, Yu Tian is Player Yuan.”

Doctor Wangʼs mouth dropped wide open after hearing this.

”R-Really? And how long have you known about this?”

”For a while. I promised to keep it a secret for him, so I didnʼt tell you. But I got his permission today to tell you.”

”Unbelievable… To think that famous Player Yuan was the Young Master all along!”

”Make sure you keep it a secret, grandpa. It would be troublesome for him if the public learned of his identity.” Wang Xiuying said.

”Thatʼs only obvious.”

”Anyways, what do you say? Can I go?”

Doctor Wang nodded, ”Yes, you can go. Youʼre big enough to make your own decisions and move out. As for the hospital, donʼt worry about it. You were never an official employee, and you went there on your own accord. Though, the people there will miss you, especially the patients.”

”When do you plan on moving?”

”Soon. I need to apply for his faction at the Cultivatorsʼ Association first. Iʼll do it tomorrow.”

The following day, Wang Xiuying made her way to the Cultivatorsʼ Association.

Although one can join a faction without visiting the Cultivatorsʼ Association, they would not be considered an ʼofficialʼ member of the faction by the Cultivatorsʼ Association and would not be allowed to participate in official events.

After arriving at the Cultivatorsʼ Association, Wang Xiuying patiently waited until she was at the front desk.

”Iʼd like to apply for a faction,” she said to the woman working at the desk.

”Name of the faction?”

”Demon Sealing Faction!”

The woman raised her eyebrows after hearing this familiar name, and she looked at Wang Xiuying with a pitiful gaze.

”You know… Iʼm saying this for your own good, but you wonʼt get accepted into that faction. Countless people have applied for the faction, but they have not approved of a single new member since its founding.”

”If you ask me, these people are too arrogant. Just because they have that Player Yuan with them, they think they can exist with 10 members. What a joke! Theyʼre looking down on all of the factions out there!”

Wang Xiuying was speechless. She didnʼt expect so many people to apply for the faction, but considering Yuanʼs popularity, it wasnʼt surprising at all.
