Chapter 744 - Did You Or Did You Not?"Let's sit down before we have our conversation." The Manager ignored his greetings and spoke in a cold voice. Yuan sighed inwardly. He expected this would happen, and he didn't blame the Manager for being mad at him for the mess he'd caused. Yuan led the Manager to another room shortly after. However, when the others tried to enter the room with them, the Manager stopped them and said, "I only need to speak with him." "..." "Can you guys wait for me outside?" Yuan said to them with a bittersweet smile. "G-Good luck…" Wang Ming said to him before leaving them alone. Wang Ming then went to notify the other members of the Manager's arrival. "She's really here, huh? Do you think she's going to evict us?" "Who knows. Maybe Yuan will be able to persuade her somehow."𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞 "Let's play a game and guess the result." While the others played their guessing game, Yuan sat in front of the Manager with a nervous look on his face. He didn't feel this nervous even when facing the Chu Family, but before this Manager, he was completely different. "I will be asking you a few questions now. You will answer them with either 'did' or 'did not'. I don't want to hear anything else— not even your explanation. Do you understand?" "I understand." The Manager retrieved a long piece of paper and proceeded to ask, "Did you or did you not enter the Chu Family's territory without permission today?" "I did…" "Did you or did you not force your way into their residence today?" "I did…" "Did you or did you not beat up Chu Wuyang today?" "I did…" "Did you or did you not…" The Manager continued to confirm everything that he's done today. "Did you or did you not cripple Chu Shijian's cultivation today?" "I did…" Yuan could only repeat these two words for the past few minutes, as there was not a single thing that he 'did not' do. Once the questioning ended, the Manager neatly folded her paper and proceeded to stare at him with a cold gaze. "How long has it been since you moved into the mountain?" She asked him. "A few weeks now, I guess." "So in just a few weeks, you have managed to break almost every rule in the mountain, and it was all done in the same day. This is an unprecedented case. I have never seen someone cause so much trouble in a single day, nor have I seen anyone cause as much trouble as you in the Dragon Spiral Mountain." "Sorry… But are you not going to ask me why I did what I did?" Yuan asked her. "I don't care about that. Regardless of who's right or wrong, if you have any problems with another resident in the Dragon Spiral Mountain, you contact me." "Now, what do you think I should do with you?" "Since I broke the rules… I won't complain even if you decide to evict us." Yuan said with a resolved face, almost as though he'd accepted his fate. "Indeed, you would be evicted under normal circumstances." The Manager quickly said. "Under normal circumstances?" Yuan raised his eyebrows at her odd choice of words. "Is this not a normal circumstance?" The Manager narrowed her eyes and said, "First of all, I would evict you without hesitation if I could. Second, I am only a Manager. Lastly, the one who makes the final decisions is the Lord of the mountain." "So the Lord has decided not to evict us?" Yuan couldn't help but feel a little hopeful for his situation. "That is not entirely correct. The Lord has decided to not evict you guys, but it is only temporary. He has a request for you— and your faction. If you help him with this request, he will not only allow you to continue living on his mountain, he will even forgive you for today." "Really? That's great! What does he need from us?" "I don't know. You'll have to speak with him yourself and find out," she said. "Speak with him? So I get to meet with the Lord?" Yuan did not expect this development at all. "Yes, I will meet you in the front tomorrow morning after sunrise. Don't be late, or I will evict you guys even if I get punished by the Lord." "I won't be late! I promise!" Yuan exclaimed. "Then I will see you tomorrow." The Manager stood up and left the place shortly after without saying anything else. "What happened? Are we evicted?" Wang Ming and the others asked him after she left. "No, we're not evicted yet—" "Yes! I won this bet!" Shi Lang exclaimed before Yuan could even finish his sentence. "Really? We're not evicted? Even though you broke all those rules?" Wang Ming was in disbelief. He was sure that they would get evicted. "Let me finish. Although we're not evicted for now, we can still be evicted. However, the Lord has a request for us, and if we help him fulfill it, he will allow us to continue living here." "The Lord of the mountain? He's a very powerful man since he owns this place, right? If there's something even he cannot do, this request might be very troublesome." Wang Bingbing said. "What does he need us to do?" Wang Ming then asked. "I don't know yet. I will be meeting with the Lord tomorrow for more information." "You're going to meet with the Lord?!" Chu Liuxiang was shocked to hear this. The Lord of the Dragon Spiral Mountain is so mysterious that nobody besides the Manager knows his appearance. Although there have been people that met with him before, they were still unable to see his appearance and have only heard his voice. "I can't believe you're already getting to meet the Lord when most people that have lived here for decades don't…" Chu Liuxiang said in a dumbfounded voice. "Well, whatever the Lord wants from us, keep us updated." Wang Ming said. "I will.." Yuan nodded.
