Cultivation Online
chapter-235

Even though he'd broken through to Spirit Warrior, Yuan's cultivation speed did not slow down. Instead, it grew even stronger. In fact, he was absorbing the spiritual energy around him so quickly that it created a very subtle wind in the room, almost like there was a fan on low power inside the room.

By the time morning came, Yuan had advanced another level, reaching 2nd level Spirit Warrior.

Meanwhile, after waking up, Yu Rou immediately went to prepare breakfast.

'Eh? Why's the blanket on the floor?' Yu Rou thought to herself when she entered the room and saw the blanket on the floor.

The windows were closed, so it couldn't have been the wind. However, she didn't think much about it and proceeded with her daily routine.

A few hours later, after feeding Yuan and cleaning him up, Yu Rou prepared for her morning practice.

After morning practice was finished, Yu Rou returned to her room. However, instead of surfing the internet or playing Cultivation Online as she'd planned, Yu Rou looked through the contacts on her phone and began calling people she trusted.

And while there were a lot of contacts on her phone, only a couple of them truly mattered to her.

Yu Rou picked one of these trusted contacts and called it.

Ring~

A few rings later, someone picked up the phone.

"Good morning, Young Lady. Do you need me for something? Did something happen to the Young Master?" Doctor Wang's voice resounded through the phone.

"Doctor Wang, how are you doing? Although this is related to Brother Tian, it's not what you are thinking." Yu Rou said, and she continued, "Due to a few unexpected circumstances, Brother Tian… he's looking for a new place to stay, and I was wondering if you have any places that you're willing to rent to him."

"Huh?"

As Yu Rou had expected, Doctor Wang made a puzzled noise behind the phone and turned silent for a moment.

"If you don't mind me asking, why is the Young Master looking for a new place to stay? What's wrong with his current room? Did he release impurities again?" Doctor Wang asked.

"No, it's nothing like that… I wished it was that simple," Yu Rou sighed.

She continued, "Well… Brother Tian might get kicked out of the house, so we have to look for a new place for him to stay, and I'd prefer it if he rents a place from someone we trust."

"W-What? Why would the Young Master be kicked out of the house?" Doctor Wang's flabbergasted voice resounded.

"It's a long story…" Yu Rou sighed, and she proceeded to explain the situation to Doctor Wang, mostly because he'll be affected by it sooner or later. After all, once their parents disown Yuan, they will no longer pay for his medical bills. Even if Doctor Wang is a very generous individual, there's no way he'd continue treating Yuan without any payments that would cost him millions each year.

"Heavens… I can't believe it… To think they'd disown the Young Master over something like this…" Doctor Wang was truly speechless.

"Don't worry, Doctor Wang… Even if my parents will no longer pay for Brother Tian's treatment, we'll pay for it instead." Yu Rou said.

Since she knew how much wealth Player Yuan has, if Yuan sold even a portion of his in-game gold and treasures, he'll be able to pay for the medical bills and live comfortably for a while.

"Young Lady… We can talk about that once we get there. For now, let's deal with the situation at hand, and that is finding the Young Master a new residence." Doctor Wang said.

And he continued, "While I don't have any free rooms to rent, I have a few guest rooms available in my main home, and if you don't mind, you can move the Young Master there. That way, I can monitor him with more ease. Of course, it'll be free of charge. You don't need to pay me for rent, as your family has donated more than enough to my hospitals."

"Your main home…?"

Yu Rou immediately hesitated. If this is their main home, Doctor Wang's granddaughter should also be there, and she'd rather not let Yuan so close to her without any supervision.

'I'll let Brother Tian live there if it's our last resort…'

With this in mind, Yu Rou said, "Thank you for your offer, but I can't let Brother Yuan invade your family like this, Doctor Wang. I'll see if there are any other options first. If not, I'll contact you again."

"I understand. My doors will be open for the Young Master whenever. I'm sure my granddaughter Wang Xiuying wouldn't mind having the Young Master here as well." Doctor Wang said.

Yu Rou hung up shortly later and exclaimed afterward, "She's exactly the reason why I don't want Brother Tian living there! Who knows what that fox might do to my brother when I'm not around!"

Sometime later, Yu Rou called a few more people but to no avail.

"Looks like there's only one more person to call…"

Yu Rou picked up the phone and tapped on the name 'Xia Jingyi'.

Ring… Ring… Ring…

"Sister Rou! I was just about to call you! Are you going to play Cultivation Online today? I just finished unboxing the console!"

"Oh… Something else came up, so I won't be able to play this weekend." Yu Rou said.

"What happened? You don't sound happy," Xia Jingyi suddenly asked.

After sighing, Yu Rou responded, "I'm looking to rent a place for my brother. I don't want to go into the details, but he needs to find a new home soon."

"Is that so…"

After a moment of silence, Xia Jingyi said, "Well, if you're looking for a place, how about I lend you one of the rooms in an apartment owned by my parents? You don't have to pay me anything either. It's also not too far away from our school, so you can visit him after school."

"Really?!" Yu Rou immediately became ecstatic after hearing this.

"Yes. I'll let my parents know that it's occupied so they don't rent it out by accident." Xia Jingyi said.

"Thank you so much! I'll definitely repay you for this when I get the chance!"

"You don't have to repay me, Sister Rou. After all, we're friends, and you've already done enough for me at school. If anything, I should be the one repaying you for everything you've done for me." Xia Jingyi said with a warm smile on her face.
