‘How can he be blind? He’s walking around just fine without any support…’ White Lotus wondered to herself after hearing Yuan’s seemingly outrageous claim.
Yuan smiled and removed his sunglasses, revealing to her his silver eyes.
White Lotus covered her mouth in shock and asked in a trembling voice, “I’m sorry… But how…?”
“Once you reach Spirit Master, you will be able to use something called Divine Sense, which will allow you to see your surroundings without needing to use your actual eyes. It’s a very convenient skill, and you can even see things that you normally wouldn’t be able to see with your bare eyes.”
“Y-You’re already a Spirit Master?” White Lotus was shocked once again.
‘I am still only at the 3rd level of Spirit Warrior, yet he’s already a Spirit Master?! How does he progress so fast?’
“Actually, I am a Spirit Grandmaster right now.” Yuan said.
“What?!” White Lotus stood up from shock and shouted, startling them.
“E-Excuse me…” White Lotus quickly realized her mistake and sat back down with her face slightly rosy.
‘If I recall correctly, even the 2nd strongest player is only a peak Spirit Master! If we don’t include the person himself, this guy has managed to surpass the strongest cultivator in Cultivation Online in the real world! This achievement is nothing short of absurd!’ She cried inwardly.
It was at this moment that White Lotus realized just how much she and the rest of the world were underestimating him.
‘I must rope him into my Bai Family at all cost! Even if he doesn’t join us, I want to maintain a good relationship with him! Fortunately for us, his younger sister is a member of our faction. This gives us a massive advantage over the others!’
White Lotus was getting more nervous with every passing moment, and the mission her family assigned her resounded louder and clearer.
“Player Yuan must join our Bai Family! You must do whatever you can to win him over, even if you have to use your own body!”
“Are you okay? You don’t seem very well.” Yuan suddenly asked her after noticing her pale complexion.
“E-Eh? Sorry, I was just thinking about some things. I am fine.” White Lotus immediately fixed her expression and even put a charming smile on her face.
“Anyways, let’s talk about your purpose here— to surprise Yu Rou. I already have everything planned to make sure your surprise visit is a success!”
“Actually… About that… There’s been a change of plans.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“Well, I have decided to surprise Yu Rou in a different manner. There will be a public concert on the day of her birthday. I want you to bring Yu Rou to the concert without letting her realize the truth. I’m sorry if this will inconvenience you.” Yuan explained.
“Of course not. I will make sure to send Yu Rou to the concert without fail. But does this mean you no longer want to visit our Eternal Lotuses’ headquarters?” White Lotus asked.
“I don’t want to trouble you or your faction since—”
“It’s no trouble at all! And since I have already prepared for your visit at the faction, it would be a waste if you didn’t show up.”
“If you say it like that, I guess I can visit your faction and see for myself how my sister has been living lately.” Yuan nodded.
The food arrived shortly after, and they stopped talking temporarily to eat.
“Wow, this food is delicious!” Yuan said in a pleasantly surprised voice as he constantly shoved food inside his mouth.
“I’m glad you enjoy it.” White Lotus smiled.
An hour later.
‘He really finished everything…White Lotus was impressed by Yuan’s eating talent.
After the workers there cleaned up the table, they resumed their conversation.
“There’s still another two days before Yu Rou’s birthday. What do you plan on doing until then?” White Lotus asked.
“We’ll probably just look around the city. Meixiu still needs to buy Yu Rou a birthday present, too.”
“I see… Then do you mind if I tag along with you guys? I can be your guide.” White Lotus asked.
“Are you sure? What about your faction? Won’t they become suspicious if you’re gone for too long?”
“It’s fine. I rarely get involved with the members, anyway. And it’s only for two days. I have been gone for longer before. Oh, if you’re worried that I might attract too much attention, I can go in a disguise.”
“You’re even going as far as disguising yourself? I kind of feel bad for making you do so much work just to guide us around.”
“It’s fine. It’s also my desire to spend more time with you.” White Lotus said with a slightly blushing face.
“T-There’s still a lot I want to talk to you about, too! Especially after our conversation in Cultivation Online.”
“If you really want to come with us, I won’t stop you.” Yuan said a moment later.
“Thank you!” White Lotus showed a beaming smile.
However, that smile would disappear a moment later when someone shouted, “W-Wait! You can’t go out there!”
“Do you know who I am?! Get out of my way! I have business with White Lotus and the bastard she’s meeting with! I know she’s out there!”
“Hey!”
A tall figure suddenly stormed through the guards and onto the roof, where Yuan and the others were.
“Who’s that?” Yuan asked.
“I’m really sorry. That’s Zheng Weimin, and he’s been infatuated with me for a while now, to the point where he’s stalking me. Don’t worry, I will deal with him immediately.”
White Lotus left the table and approached the young man.
“Zheng Weimin! I don’t remember inviting you! How dare you barge in here and disturb my important meeting with an esteemed guest! I will give you three seconds to turn around and leave before I toss you out myself!”
Zheng Weimin pointed at her body with trembling hands and roared, “Look at you! Who are you trying to seduce with such a slutty dress?!”
He then turned to look at Yuan and continued, “Is it him?! Is that the bastard you’re trying to seduce?! Not on my watch!”
“Wow… What a guy…” Chu Liuxiang mumbled, finding the situation to be incredibly amusing for some reason.
