Chapter 743 — Preparing To Move Again

By the time Yuan and Chu Liuxiang returned home, everyone except Meixiu was already seated at the dining table.

"Huh? Yuan? Where have you been? Meixiu went to look for you in your room just now." Wang Ming said to him when they returned.

"Sorry, I had some business at the Chu Family." Yuan said to them.

"I'll go find Meixiu. You guys can eat first."

Yuan and Chu Liuxiang went back to his room to find Meixiu knocking on their door.

"There's no need to knock. We're here." Yuan said to her.

"Huh?" Meixiu turned around to see them standing behind her, and Yuan looked a little messy, almost as though he'd been in a fight recently.

"What happened to you?" She asked.

"I went to the Chu Family to bring her back." Yuan pointed at Chu Liuxiang, who had a bashful smile on her face.

"It's a little embarrassing, but I had some trouble at home, and Yuan came to save me," she said.

"Well… Breakfast is prepared…" Meixiu didn't know what else to say.

Yuan nodded, "I will tell you guys about it at the dining table. Let me change my clothes first."

"Me too."

"Okay."

While Meixiu returned to the others, Yuan and Chu Liuxiang changed their clothes before making their way back to the dining room.

Everybody there could tell that something was on Yuan's mind when they saw his expression, but nobody said a word until after breakfast was finished.

"If you have something to say, say it already." Li Jinxi was the first to speak out.

Yuan sighed before nodding his head, "Alright. This might be a lot, but it's important. Today, I went to the Chu Family and kind of fought them."

"You what?!" Wang Ming exclaimed.

"They were going to take Lulu away from us and force her to marry some family she doesn't want to be with, so I went there to take her back by force. I fought her parents and crippled her father's cultivation before bringing her back, and because of my actions, there's a good chance that we're going to get evicted from the mountain soon…"

The entire place turned dead silent as everyone in the room stared at him with gawking faces.

"W-W-Wait… Why don't you start from the beginning and slow down?" Shi Lang said.

Yuan nodded and recalled the whole incident from the beginning.

Of course, everyone there was shocked by what they heard. None of them could've expected Yuan to invade the Chu Family by himself while they were all sleeping.

"Yuan… Although I am confident in your abilities, nor am I upset that we might be evicted, you should've at least told us that you were going to raid one of the biggest cultivation families in this world." Wang Ming rubbed his temples.

"The Chu Family and the Six Spiritual Families have always been on bad terms since forever. They like to live in the spotlight while we prefer living in the shadows. I was really surprised when I found out that Miss Chu was actually from the Chu Family. However, now that we belong to the same faction, we have a responsibility to protect each other, so I would've helped you fight the Chu Family if you asked."

"I have to agree with Wang Ming on this one, Yuan. You should've at least told us before doing something so dangerous by yourself." Meixiu sighed.

"I know, but I didn't want to worry you guys."

"That's not good enough, Yuan. As fellow members of the same faction, we need to share the burden together. That's what separates the good factions from the ordinary ones." Wang Ming said.

"Although it's already in the past, you need to tell us in advance if you do something crazy again in the future." Wang Bingbing said.

"Alright, I will let you all know next time."

"Good. Now what? Should we begin packing since we're going to be moving soon?" Wang Ming asked a moment later.

"I mean… We don't know if we're really going to be evicted or not…" Shi Lang said.

"Are you kidding me? Yuan invaded the Chu Family that lives in the upper levels of the mountain! He violated many rules today, it would be a miracle if we don't get kicked out of the mountain! Hell, I am expecting a very expensive compensation fee as well!"

"Wang Ming's right. I violated multiple rules today. The Manager will probably visit us by the end of the day to kick us out. Let's pack our stuff and prepare to move out." Yuan said.

"As for our next home… We'll figure that out afterward. Once again, I am sorry for the trouble. I know we have spent a lot of money to buy this place, so I am going to pay you all back."

"Nah, you don't have to worry about it. The money was our parents' anyway. Also, it's not like we disapprove of your actions today. We would've even supported you if we knew about it earlier." Wang Ming said.

"Let's not forget about the Heaven-rank techniques we received from you. Those are already worth more than this place." Shi Lang smiled.

"What Heaven-rank techniques?" Wu Zao asked, as he wasn't at the Myriad of Techniques with them.

"We all got a Heaven-rank technique from Yuan when we ascended." Wang Ming said.

"What! You should've told me! I would've ascended sooner if that was the case!" Wu Zao exclaimed.

"Yuan! I am going to ascend right after we find a new home!"

"Me too!" Xi Murong said.

"Okay." Yuan nodded.

Everybody returned to their own rooms shortly after and began packing their luggage.

"Y-Yuan! She's here! The Manager!" Wang Ming went to alert him of the Manager's presence.

"Let's go." Yuan quickly followed Wang Ming to the front of the house.

Yuan swallowed nervously when he saw the cold expression on the Manager's beautiful face.

"G-Good evening, Manager…" Yuan greeted her with a stiff smile.
