"Take as long as you need to think about it. Although it’s very common for Cultivators to join a Sect, it’s not something you should take lightly, as it will more likely than not affect the rest of your life." Xuan Wuhan said to him.

"And if you ever decide to join a Sect, come to the Dragon Essence Temple. It’s one of the top Sects in the world and also where I am currently. They’ll treat you nicely— I can guarantee you that."

Yuan nodded, "I will keep that in mind."

Sometime later, once dinner was ready, Xiao Hua asked Yuan after they were seated at the dining table, "Are you going to be okay with so little food, Brother Yuan?"

Because the Xuan Family is not aware of Yuan’s eating habits, she was worried that the food might not even fill the gap between his teeth.

"Although it won’t be enough to fill my stomach, I don’t need a full stomach every time I eat something," he said a moment later.

Xiao Hua no longer said anything and they began eating shortly later.

Many minutes later, after dinner, Yuan said to the Xuan Family, "Thank you for the wonderful dinner. I have to go now."

"You’re leaving already? It’s already dark outside." Xuan Wuhan said to him, seemingly reluctant to see him leave so quickly.

"I would like to stay for longer, but my sister should be arriving soon, and I have promised her that I won’t make her wait for long."

"Is that so..." Xuan Wuhan nodded and said, "Then promise me that you’ll come to visit me again in the future."

She then extended her hand to him like she was asking for a handshake.

Yuan did not hesitate to shake her hands and said, "I promise."

Once Yuan and Xiao Hua left the building a few moments later, Patriarch Xuan said to her, "You really like him, huh? I have never seen you act so friendly towards another man before."

"Even though he’s extremely talented and powerful, it isn’t obvious at glance, and that doesn’t change even after you speak with him. He’s a very kind and humble individual despite his status— completely opposite of the arrogant geniuses that I am used to seeing on a daily basis. It’s a refreshing feeling." Xuan Wuhan said with a gentle smile on her face.

"I cannot argue with that. Talented Cultivators like him are very rare nowadays. They are usually filled with arrogance, and the more talented they are the worse their character. It only makes one wonder what kind of background he’s from." Patriarch Xuan nodded in an approving manner.

"Why don’t you go talk to your grandfather? Let him know about the situation and see if he can convince Daoist Yuan to join the Sect." He suddenly suggested.

However, Xuan Wuhan shook her head and said, "I will let grandpa know about his existence, but I won’t tell him to convince Daoist Yuan. We can’t look desperate, after all." This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Meanwhile, outside the building, Yuan said to Xiao Hua, "I am going to log off for now."

"See you later, Brother Yuan." Xiao Hua said to him before disappearing into the necklace.

A few moments later, Yuan left the cultivation world and proceeded to wait for Yu Rou to return in the real world.

"Brother! I am back! I can finally play with you tomorrow!" Yu Rou’s excited voice resounded outside his room, and Yuan could hear the sound of her running in the hallway.

"Welcome back, Yu Rou," Yuan said to her with a smile on his face after she entered his room a moment later.

"Un! Let me change out of my school uniform and prepare dinner for you first! I will be right back!" Yu Rou said to him, and she ran outside before Yuan could even tell her to calm down.

About half an hour later, Yu Rou returned to his room with all of the necessities on a small cart.

"How was your day, Brother? Do you think you’ll be able to make it to Spring City by tomorrow morning?" Yu Rou asked him as she wiped his skinny body with a warm wet towel.

"You have underestimated me, Yu Rou. I am already in Spring City." Yuan responded with a smile.

"Really? I bet you were already close to it." Yu Rou said, completely unaware that he’d traveled over 30,000 miles and spent 350,000 gold coins just to get there.

"You have no idea..." Yuan said.

"And what do you mean tomorrow morning? Can you not play tonight?"

"I would love to play tonight, but I have piano practice at home early tomorrow morning, so I have to sleep right after this," she said as she changed the wet towel and wiped his body for the second time.

"I see... then I will also sleep early tonight to make time pass by faster," Yuan said.

After cleaning and feeding Yuan, Yu Rou went to shower and eat her own dinner before going to sleep, not even bothering to spend a few minutes on the internet as usual.

The following morning, Yu Rou woke up early and spent 2 hours with piano practice before returning to Yuan’s room to wash his face and feed him breakfast.

"Let’s meet at the front of the city by the entrance," Yu Rou said to Yuan as she wiped his lips after breakfast.

"Sounds good. I will see you there." Yuan said.

A few minutes later, Yuan entered the game while Yu Rou returned to her own room.

"Xiao Hua, let’s go. We’re going to meet my sister now."

"Un." Xiao Hua nodded her head, feeling slightly nervous for some reason.

"By the way, can you do me a favor?" Yuan suddenly asked her as they walked to the front of the city.

"What is it, Brother Yuan?" she looked at him.

"Can you not call me ’Yuan’ when we are with my sister? I’d like to surprise her later," he said.

Xiao Hua tilted her head with a puzzled expression on her face after hearing his words.

"It’s a bit complicated, but my real name is not really Yuan... I mean, it is, but it isn’t at the same time," he revealed to her.
