Chapter 600 - Creating Their Own Faction

"Oh, right. Yuan, you should call Yu Rou. Although I'd already explained the situation to her, you should still speak with her." Meixiu said to him after unpacking their luggage.

"Okay."

Meixiu then handed her phone to him.

"Hello? Yu Rou? It's me, Yuan."

"Brother! Are you okay?!"

"Yes, I am fine."

"I'm sorry that I couldn't be there for you…"

"I would actually prefer it if you weren't here. I don't want you to be in such a dangerous situation." Yuan said.

After talking for a few minutes, Yu Rou asked, "What are you going to do now that you're back home?"

"I am going to create my own faction and focus on Cultivation Online."

"Eh? You're going to create your own faction? When?"

"As soon as we can, I guess."

"Why did you wait so long to make your faction, brother? If you'd told me earlier, I would've joined you! I am too invested in my faction to leave now…"

"Sorry…" Yuan had nothing else to say.

"Well… Make sure you visit me soon."

"I will when I get the chance."

After talking for a few more minutes, Yu Rou hung up the phone.

"Yuan, I have contacted Senior Wang. She said that she'll send a few people our way as soon as possible. We can create our faction as soon as they arrive." Meixiu said to him.

"Are you going to return to Cultivation Online now?" Meixiu then asked him.

"No, I will spend a few more days clearing my mind before I return," he said.

"Okay."

And for the remainder of the day, Yuan would cultivate in silence, trying his best to clear his mind. Of course, it was much easier said than done, as what happened at the Jaded Garden really affected his mind.

Once it was time to sleep, Chu Liuxiang eagerly jumped on Yuan's bed while wearing her see-through pajamas.

"We're going to be alone tonight, Brother Yuan." Chu Liuxiang giggled like a child.

"Yes, we are." He calmly said as he also entered the bed.

However, Chu Liuxiang didn't take advantage of their time alone, as she didn't want to advance their relationship while he was still feeling down.

'If I am going to start a family with him, it should be done when we're both happy and eager.' Chu Liuxiang thought to herself as she slept beside Yuan.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, Meixiu was having a hard time sleeping for obvious reasons, as she couldn't get her mind off the fact that Yuan was currently alone with a bold woman like Chu Liuxiang, who also has plenty of ambitions.

The following morning, Meixiu woke up early to cook breakfast, something she hasn't done in a while.

"Shall I help you out with breakfast?" Sebastian asked her.

"It's fine, you're the guest here," Meixiu said to him.

Sebastian nodded and returned to cultivating.

Shortly after Meixiu began cooking, Chu Liuxiang came outside of Yuan's room with a sleepy look on her face.

Meixiu turned to look at her with a questioning gaze.

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything for now, but once he's fully recovered, I will do it."

"You don't have to tell me that," Meixiu shook her head.

Once breakfast was ready, everyone sat around the table to eat.

"It's been a while since I tasted this flavor," Yuan said.

"Looks like you can cook a little, but compared to Sebastian, you're still lacking." Chu Liuxiang said, yet she kept eating without any breaks until she finished.

After breakfast, Yuan took a seat in his bedroom and began cultivating, but he had no intentions of trying to breakthrough to Spirit Grandmaster. Instead, he was doing it just to clear his mind.

Meanwhile, Chu Liuxiang would lay on the bed, silently watching Yuan cultivate.

"Don't you get tired doing that all day?" Meixiu asked her at the end of the day.

"Nope. I can watch him all day," she said.

Sometime in the afternoon the following day, Meixiu received a text from Senior Wang, stating that the disciples should be arriving at their apartment soon.

"They are here already? That was faster than I anticipated." Yuan said.

And sure enough, about ten minutes later, they can hear someone knocking on the door.

Meixiu went to open the door, and to her surprise, all of them were elite disciples from the Spiritual Elite, such as Wang Ming, Wang Bingbing, Shi Lang, Xi Murong, Hong Xiuquan, Wu Zao, and even Li Jinxi.

Basically, everyone that had participated in the Spirit Competition was there.

"Hey! We're here to help you create your faction! Of course, if you want us to leave afterward, we won't hold any hard feelings!" Wang Ming said to them with a wide smile on his face.

"Aren't you all elite disciples of the Spiritual Elites? Are the Six Spiritual Families really fine with sending away all of their most talented disciples to our faction?" Chu Liuxiang asked.

"Of course. Not only do we have our parents' approval, but even the grand elders urged us to join you guys." Shi Lang replied.

It was clear what the Six Spiritual Families' intentions were by sending all of their most talented disciples there.

If Yuan couldn't join them, they will simply join him instead! Furthermore, once they form an alliance with each other, it would no longer matter which faction they stay in.

And even if they stay in Yuan's faction, they are still affiliated with the Spiritual Elites and the Six Spiritual Families by blood.

"Thank you all for coming here," Yuan said to them.

"It's actually a pleasure for us to be here! When do you want to create your faction?" Wang Ming then asked.

"We can do that right now. Just give us a moment to prepare and we'll head out."

"Okay."

A few minutes later, Yuan and Meixiu wore their masks before going outside.

"In order to create our faction, we'll need to head to the Cultivators' Association," Meixiu said.

"The Cultivators' Association? I didn't think we would go back there so soon.." Yuan sighed.
