Chapter 648: Obsessed
“He moved into the mountain?! How is that even possible? Although I have no doubt that he’ll be able to live here in the future, he shouldn’t have the qualifications to enter this place yet!”
“I was also surprised when I heard it, but the lord approved it, and he moved in just today.”
“Hmmm…”
Chu Shijian closed his eyes to ponder.
“What do you think of him? This Yuan.” The woman sitting beside Chu Shijian suddenly asked.
“He’s a very talented individual. Perhaps even more talented than our top geniuses. Although I haven’t spent much time with him or seen his full potential, I believe he’s someone worthy of our attention.” Sebastian said.
“I haven’t seen you praise someone like this before, Sebastian. He must have really impressed you.” The woman smiled.
He nodded and said, “While I didn’t witness it for myself, it is true that he’d defeated the demon that was supposedly as strong as a cultivator at the peak Spirit Grandmaster. I have also watched him practice with the Six Spiritual Families’ geniuses. He’s the real deal.”
“If you never fought one yourself, how do you know that demons are really that powerful? If you ask me, I think they exaggerated the demon’s power.”
“Exaggerated, huh? I really can’t tell you since I wasn’t there to witness it…” Sebastian shook his head.
Chu Shijian then spoke, “What about Chu Liuxiang? How would you describe their relationship?”
After a moment of silence, Sebastian spoke, “From what I have witnessed, the Young Lady truly cares about Yuan. In fact, I would even say she’s obsessed with him.”
“Obsessed?” Madam Chu frowned slightly when she heard this, and she said, “I don’t like the sound of this word, especially when it’s about one of our members. Although Liuxiang is not blood-related, she still has our surname, so she has the obligation to behave like one.”
“Unfortunately, I don’t know how else to describe her feelings for him besides ‘obsessed. If he asks her to die for him, she most likely wouldn’t refuse.”
“It’s that serious?” The parents looked at each other with perplexed emotions in their eyes. They knew Chu Liuxiang valued Yuan, but they didn’t anticipate her feelings would be this intense.
“From what I am hearing… This Yuan doesn’t appear to be a good influence on Liuxiang. I think we should separate them as soon as possible before it’s too late.” Madam Chu suddenly suggested.
Hearing this, Sebastian quickly said, “With all due respect, I don’t think that would be a wise decision, Madam Chu.”
“Oh? Why not?” She stared at him with narrowed eyes.
“Although Yuan may not have many achievements now, his potential is enormous and we cannot ignore that. If we separate them and offend him… I fear he might retaliate against us in the future.”
“Retaliate… Against us? The Chu Family?” Madam Chu chuckled in a manner that looked down on Sebastian’s claims.
After all, the Chu Family is one of the largest and most influential families in this world. How can a single person possibly affect them, much less threaten them?
“Whether he is worthy or not… I will be the judge of that. Sebastian, continue observing Yuan and my daughter.” Chu Shijian commanded.
“As you wish.”
After speaking with the Chu Family, Sebastian returned to Yuan’s faction.
‘Thank the lord I didn’t mention the Young Lady’s desire to bear Yuan’s child, or the masters would’ve acted immediately… I have done everything I could to support you. It’s all up to you two now…’ Sebastian sighed inwardly.
The following morning, Yuan woke up before sunrise and went to his closet, where he had two zithers stored.
He retrieved the plain-looking zither and went outside with it.
After taking a seat in the middle of the field, he began playing the zither.
A few songs later, Yuan took a deep breath and sighed in a low voice, “I will be fighting the Sect Master of the Blood Sect today… And I might have to kill him in order to protect the others… But I hope things don’t go that far…”
Once he cleared his mind, Yuan returned to his room and wore the console on his head, entering Cultivation Online.
“Young Master, where are you going?” Feng Yuxiang and the others asked him when he noticed him trying to leave the Luo Family by himself.
“I’m going to fight the Blood Sect,” he calmly responded.
“Then we’re coming—”
“No.” Yuan quickly interrupted.
And he continued, “You stay here— all of you. I can handle them by myself.”
“Young Master, while we don’t doubt that you can deal with the Blood Sect by yourself, I think we should still be there just in case anything happens.” Feng Yuxiang said.
“Please, let me fight them alone,” Yuan said to them in a slightly nervous tone.
“I don’t want any of you to see me covered in blood.”
“Are you worried that we might see you differently because you killed a few people?” Feng Yuxiang suddenly asked him.
Yuan silently nodded.
“Don’t worry, Young Master. We won’t see you in a different light just because you killed a few trash. This is the cultivation world, after all. Cultivators killing other Cultivators is as natural as breathing in this world, and you’re doing it for a good cause. In fact, you’ll even be seen as a hero for your actions.”
Yuan then sighed, “While what you say might be true, I won’t be able to concentrate with you guys there. Furthermore, I want you to stay here just in case the Blood Sect attacks this city when I am gone.”
“Young Master—”
“Good luck and stay safe, Brother Yuan.” Xiao Hua suddenly interrupted.
“Thank you.”
Yuan left the place shortly after.
“Why did you let him go alone? What if something happens to him?” Feng Yuxiang asked Xiao Hua afterward.
“This is Brother Yuan’s decision. We can only believe in him,” she calmly responded.
