"Good morning, Meixiu." Yuan greeted her, who was already preparing breakfast.
Once breakfast was prepared, they sat around the dining table until all of the plates were empty.
"Once we deal with the Cultivators’ Association, let’s go out and eat at a restaurant, Meixiu," Yuan said to her afterward.
"O-Okay..." Although it was quite sudden, Meixiu agreed regardless.
After breakfast, Yuan changed into a new set of clothes and grabbed his mask.
"Are you ready, Miss Meifeng?" Yuan asked her, who was right behind him.
"Wait a second, Young Master," Meifeng said.
And she continued, "The Yu Family was able to find your location because they’d somehow managed to acquire footage of you and Meixiu on the public surveillance cameras, so I would advise you to take a different route— one that is hidden from these cameras."
"How am I supposed to know where to go?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.
"Don’t worry, I have already found a route from this place to the Cultivators’ Association that will allow us to travel without being seen. You just need to follow me."
"Okay, I will leave everything to you. I want to save my spiritual energy for when I reach the Cultivators’ Association, so can I hold your hands until then?" Yuan then asked her.
Since he needed spiritual energy for divine sense, it would be wiser to save his spiritual energy until he needed it. And even though he can use his divine sense for much longer now that he’s a Spirit Master, it still wasn’t enough for him to keep it activated for long periods at a time.
"Of course, you can." Meifeng held her hands out with a smile on her beautiful face.
Yuan then wore his mask before grabbing her soft hands.
Meifeng also wore her mask before leading Yuan outside the door and into the streets, following the route Meifeng had prepared in advance to avoid being seen.
"It will take us a little longer to reach the Cultivators’ Association since we’re taking this unique route. Since we have some time, can you tell me what you intend on doing there so I can prepare for it?" Meifeng asked him as they walked hand in hand.
"I am going there to intimidate them," he responded in a calm voice.
"Excuse me?" Meifeng turned to look at him with her eyes filled with shock.
"You’re going to intimidate the Cultivators’ Association? One of the most powerful factions in the entire world right now? You know even the Yu Family don’t dare to offend them, right?" She said to him in a dazed voice.
"Yes, I know," Yuan responded in a calm voice.
"Then how are you going to intimidate them?"
"If words won’t get through them, I can only use force, right?" Yuan said.
"F-Force...?" Meifeng had a bad feeling about this, and she started regretting agreeing to this farce.
"Don’t worry, I am confident in my strength."
"I am not worried about that... But if you act violently at the Cultivators’ Association, you will get arrested."
"The Cultivators’ Association is not only a powerful force, but they are also something like the police for cultivators since normal police won’t be able to deal with cultivators and their incredible strength."
"Simply, you’ll go to jail that is specifically made for cultivators."
"I won’t do anything violent... if I don’t have to."
Meifeng sighed and mumbled to herself, ’Looks like I might have to call some lawyers after this all goes down...’
Meifeng wasn’t too worried that Yuan might go to jail for causing a scene in the Cultivators’ Association as long as he doesn’t kill anyone, as she has connections with many powerful and reliable lawyers who can get someone out of anything as long as they had enough money.
About an hour later, they arrive at the Cultivators’ Association.
"We’re here, Young Master. Please... Just don’t do anything too crazy..." Meifeng pleaded.
Yuan didn’t say anything and merely nodded.
He then stood there for a minute to prepare himself.
Once he was ready, he released Meifeng’s hand and began walking towards the Cultivators’ Association, and Meifeng followed him from behind.
Their unique appearance quickly attracted everyones’ attention, and they wondered why Yuan and Meifeng were wearing masks.
There was a line to the reception, but Yuan ignored the line and walked straight to the front.
"The line is back there." The woman working at the reception pointed to the back of the line.
"I am here to speak with your Chairman. Take me to him."
"I’m sorry, but who are you?"
"I will only speak with the chairman."
"I’m afraid that’s not possible. Until we know your identity, you won’t see anyone. Furthermore, Chairman Zhao is currently busy in a meeting, so he won’t have time for you—"
Yuan suddenly slammed the desk with his fist, instantly destroying it.
This startled the woman and everyone there greatly, including Meifeng, who felt like she was suddenly before a different person.
"I will not repeat myself," Yuan said in a calm voice that had a hint of anger within.
The woman looked at the destroyed desk with her eyes wide with shock, as the desk was made out of metal and not something an ordinary cultivator could achieve.
A few moments later, once the guards there snapped out of their daze, they quickly surrounded Yuan and Meifeng.
"Who the hell do you think you are?! How dare you cause such a scene at the Cultivators’ Association?!"
The head of the security there shouted at Yuan. Of course, they were all cultivators.
Yuan slowly turned his head to look at the middle-aged man who was at the 6th level Spirit Apprentice.
"If you bring me to your chairman, there will no longer be a scene," he then said.
"The audacity! Apprehend them!" The middle-aged man commanded the dozen of cultivators around him.
However, before they could even get close, Yuan released his Spirit Master cultivation base, instantly halting these Spirit Apprentices with intense pressure.
Although none of them could comprehend what they were feeling since they had never seen a Spirit Master before, they instinctively knew to stay away from Yuan or their lives would be in danger.
