"The Lord? Why?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.
"Now that you have defeated the strongest demon, it will only be a matter of time before the last demon is dealt with. Do you remember your conversation with the Lord? That he'd tell you the truth if you take care of his demon problem?"
"Yeah, I remember." Yuan nodded.
And he continued, "However, there is still one demon left. Until I kill the last demon, I won't speak with him. After all, it was part of the agreement."
"Don't you want to know the truth about Cultivation Online and the Lord's identity?" The Manager frowned at him.
"Of course I do, but I'm in no rush. Why are you so impatient to tell me the truth, though? Did something happen?" He smiled at her.
"N-No… Forget it, then."
The Manager left the place shortly after.
Yuan returned to his room shortly after and practiced the nameless technique.
During dinner, Yuan said, "Meixiu, Lulu, Jinxi, we're going to make our way to the Stairway to Heaven tomorrow."
"Hmm? You're ascending already?" Wang Ming asked.
"No, not yet. I will do it after my sister's birthday, which is in about 2 weeks."
"Your sister?" This was news to some of the people there.
"Yes, my younger sister, Yu Rou. She's currently at another faction. What was the name of their faction again?"
"Eternal Lotuses." Meixiu said.
"Right. Eternal Lotuses."
"Oh, I've heard about them. They're a pretty popular and powerful female-only faction." Wang Bingbing said.
"We should probably notify her before we see her. They forbid men from visiting." Meixiu said.
"Hmm… but I don't want to ruin the surprise…" Yuan sighed.
"I know! Meixiu, can you contact the leader of the Eternal Lotuses? I will talk with the leader directly and receive permission so that it wouldn't ruin the surprise."
"Alright. I will contact the Cultivators' Association and ask them to set up a schedule."
"Thank you."
After dinner, Meixiu returned to her own room and called Chairman Lee, the head of the Cultivators' Association.
After a single ring, Chairman Lee picked up the phone and spoke in an excited voice, "Hello?!"
"Hello, Chairman Lee. This is Meixiu from the Demon Sealing Faction."
"Oh! Lady Meixiu! I have been waiting for your call!" Chairman Lee sounded as though he was on the verge of crying through the phone.
'Lady Meixiu…?' Meixiu raised an eyebrow.
"Lady Meixiu, before you say anything, I must ask, have you checked your email since the creation of the Demon Sealing Faction?" Chairman Lee suddenly asked.
"Email? No, I haven't. Why?"
"You should probably take a look at it… You will understand quicker that way."
"Okay, give me a minute."
Meixiu went to grab her laptop and checked her email.
"This is…" Meixiu was shocked when she saw how many unread messages were in her email.
[Unread Messages: 9,999+]
There were many types of messages.
Messages from people who wanted to join the Demon Sealing Faction, messages from other factions that were hoping to form an alliance with them, and most of all, messages from news organizations that wanted to interview their faction— mostly Yuan.
After the creation of the Demon Sealing Faction, news of Player Yuan being its leader spread like wildfire, and people from all over the world wanted to contact them.
However, the only way to contact them was through Meixiu's email, which she'd neglected until now. Because of this, people started contacting the Cultivators' Association instead, but there was nothing they could do besides sending more messages to Meixiu.
"Sorry… I'd completely forgotten about it." Meixiu apologized to Chairman Lee after realizing her mistake.
"It's alright. Better late than never." Chairman Lee chuckled.
"Anyways, is there anything the Cultivators' Association can do for you, Lady Meixiu?"
"Yes, I have a request. Yuan would like to speak with the leader of the Eternal Lotuses. Can you contact them and let them know?"
"The leader of Eternal Lotuses? That would be White Lotus. May I ask for a reason? The Eternal Lotuses will want to know your reason, as well."
"Yuan's little sister is a member of the Eternal Lotuses, and it will be her birthday soon. He wants to surprise her with a visit, but the Eternal Lotuses don't allow men to enter, so we were hoping to work something out."
"Yuan's little sister? I understand. I will contact White Lotus after this, but she might not respond for a while. They're a powerful faction with a popular leader, so they're bound to be very busy."
"I understand. Thank you."
"No need to be humble, Lady Meixiu. The Cultivators' Association is here for you." Chairman Lee said.
Of course, only powerful factions like the Demon Sealing Faction could receive such privileges.
After hanging up, Meixiu placed her phone beside the bed and started going through some unread messages out of curiosity.
Meanwhile, Chairman Lee called the Eternal Lotuses' headquarters.
"Hello, this is Chairman Lee of the Cultivators' Association. I have some important matters to discuss with White Lotus."
"Miss Bai is currently cultivating. Can this wait until tomorrow?" White Lotus' Manager answered the phone.
"I don't mind waiting. Tell White Lotus that Player Yuan from the Demon Sealing Faction would like to speak with her. Call me back when you're ready to speak. That's all."
"W-Wait! Did you just say Player—"
However, Chairman Lee closed the connection before the Manager could even finish her sentence. Of course, this was on purpose, as it would give them more pressure and a sense of urgency.
After staring at her phone in a dazed manner for many moments, the Manager went to look for White Lotus.
"Miss Bai! I apologize for bothering you during your cultivation, but this is urgent!" The Manager knocked on her door.
A few moments later, a white-haired beauty opened the door and appeared before the Manager.
"What is it?"
"Chairman Lee from the Cultivators' Association just called, and he said that Player Yuan from the Demon Sealing Faction would like to speak with you!"
White Lotus immediately narrowed her eyes upon hearing this information.
'Player Yuan? Why would he want to speak with me?' She curiously wondered.
