Bang! Chu Shijian suddenly slammed his fist into his chair rest after hearing Chu Liuxiang's words that compared them to the Yu Family, his face fuming with anger. "How dare you compare us to that disgraceful place! We're nothing like the Yu Family! Not only did we treat you like a princess, but we also exhausted countless resources into you just so that you can be at where you are today! If we didn't save you from that orphanage, god knows where you would be right now!" "And I am supposed to be grateful for that? Did you forget why you adopted me in the first place? If it were not for my cultivation talents, you wouldn't even have batted an eye at me! If you did not plan on profiting off me by selling me to some family that I don't want to be with, you wouldn't have treated me so nicely! Tell me that I am wrong, father!" Chu Liuxiang argued back. Although Chu Liuxiang and her father often argued with each other, it never became this serious, and they would end up joking with each other at the end. By now, Chu Shijian's entire body was trembling from anger. If his eyes could produce fire, it would be spewing them by now. "Calm down." Chu Shufen said in a soothing voice as she placed her hand onto his fist. Although she'd managed to stop his shaking, his face was still twisted in anger. She then looked at Chu Liuxiang and spoke, "Liuxiang, you claim that you love him, but that is just your words and not your actual feelings—" "That is my actual feelings!" Chu Liuxiang interrupted. And she continued, "I also doubted my feelings for him at first, but that's why I went to find him! The moment I saw his face, even though it has been over 10 years since I last saw him, I knew at that very moment that I really loved him!" "However, I continued to follow him to verify my feelings for him, and every single day I spent with him, my conviction grew stronger and stronger!" Chu Shufen shook her head and sighed, "You don't have to say anything else, Liuxiang. You're going to forget about him once you join a real family— one that we are sure will perfectly suit you." "I refuse!" Chu Liuxiang stood her ground. "Unfortunately, this isn't a matter where you have a choice. Until we find you a family, we forbid you from leaving the garden— your home." Hearing her mother's words, Chu Liuxiang released her Spirit Master cultivation base. "What do you think you're doing? Are you threatening us? Did you already forget that you're not the only Spirit Master in this household?" Chu Shufen said as she released her aura, which was even more powerful than Chu Liuxiang's aura. Chu Liuxiang gritted her teeth, as she was aware that she wouldn't be able to defeat her parents in her current state. However, Chu Shufen suddenly withdrew her aura and said in a loud voice, "Senior Qi, please take her back to the garden for us." "W-What did you just say?" Chu Liuxiang's eyes widened with shock when she heard the name 'Senior Qi'. A figure appeared before Chu Liuxiang the next moment, and she was an extremely beautiful woman that looked only slightly older than Chu Liuxiang. She had long black hair that flowed down her back until it reached her round buttocks. Her cleavage was also quite impressive in the way that it looked completely flawless no matter which angle one looked from. She was also wearing traditional robes that made her look like a cultivator at glance, and if she were to stand beside the cultivators inside Cultivation Online, one would not be able to tell any difference between them whether it was their demeanor or aura. "Master… What are you doing here? I thought you had some important matters and could not return for many years…" Chu Liuxiang muttered in a low voice. This woman Chu Liuxiang called 'Master' was actually her teacher, who taught her everything about cultivation. "I heard that you were causing trouble again, so I decided to come back. Come with me. Let's talk about it." Senior Qi said to her, and she began walking towards the door without looking back to see if Chu Liuxiang would follow her. Chu Liuxiang glared at her parents for a moment before following Senior Qi, leaving the scene shortly after. Sometime later, Chu Liuxiang followed Senior Qi to this large garden behind the Chu Family's household, and there was even an immortal cave beside a clear pond. "Sit down." Senior Qi suddenly stopped walking in front of the pond and said without turning back. Chu Liuxiang didn't say anything and obediently took a seat seiza-style on the soft ground. "Tell me everything that has happened. Start from when you left the family." Senior Qi then said as she continued to stare into the pond. Chu Liuxiang nodded and began recalling her experience to Senior Qi. Meanwhile, inside Cultivation Online, Yuan and Senior Bai just sat down. "Do you know of a place called the Nine Heavens Eternal Grotto?" Senior Bai suddenly asked him after a moment of awkward silence. "No, I do not." Yuan quickly shook his head. "It's one of the most dangerous places in the Nine Heavens that has existed even before the Primordial Era. However, it's not dangerous in the way you're probably thinking. The reason it's so dangerous is because of the criminals that are imprisoned there." "Criminals?" Yuan raised his eyebrows. "Yes, incredibly dangerous criminals that are also Immortals that cannot be destroyed through normal means, hence why they were tossed inside the Nine Heavens Eternal Grotto for all eternity. The Nine Heavens Eternal Grotto is a place where once someone enters, they will not be able to escape no matter if they are Immortal or God. However, that is only from the inside, meaning it can still be opened from the outside." "I… I don't like where this is going…" Yuan said with a frown on his face.
