Chapter 994 - End of Yuan's Interview After dealing with the Yu Family and the eight investors, Yuan decided to answer some of the public's questions. "I will now be answering any questions you may have." All of the reporters there immediately started shouting their questions. It was so chaotic and loud that nobody could hear a proper question being asked. "Please calm down. Since everyone here seems to have a question, I will pick some of you." Yuan said. Once the place was quiet again, Yuan randomly pointed at someone in the crowd. "The young man wearing a yellow shirt with a red heart. Do you have a question for me?" "Y-Yes! Thank you for picking me! I want to ask— are you still playing Cultivation Online? A lot of people seem to think that you've quit for some reason." "Of course I am still playing Cultivation Online. In fact, I intend on ascending to the next realm after I return home from all this." The audience were shocked to hear such news because if Yuan manages to clear the Stairway to Heaven, the Third Heaven will be unlocked for all players. "Next question. The young lady wearing a red shirt and blue jeans." Yuan picked another person shortly after. "Thank you for picking me! I would like to ask— what is your current cultivation in Cultivation Online and out here?" Yuan smiled and said, "In Cultivation Online, I am at the peak of Spirit Lord. As for my current cultivation… I am a Spirit Grandmaster." "What?! He's already achieved Spirit Grandmaster?!" Everyone watching was in disbelief. "If you don't believe me then let me show you something…" Yuan's body suddenly started hovering towards the sky, shocking everyone there, including Chairman Lee. "H-H-He's flying?!" "How is that possible?!" "Is this a magic trick?!" The reporters there asked him. "Once you achieve Spirit Grandmaster, you can start learning something called Qi Manifestation. If you master this technique, you will be able to fly. This is also true in Cultivation Online." Most people already knew that Spirit Grandmasters could fly without flying swords in Cultivation Online, but they didn't think it would also work in the real world. Once the crowd calmed down, Yuan continued to answer their questions. An hour later, Yuan said, "I will be ending the interview now. Thank you all for participating." However, before leaving, he still had a surprise for everyone there. After taking a deep breath, he spoke into the microphone, "In order to celebrate this occasion, I would like to host a little event, and anyone can participate in this event." "Seven days from now, I will hide some Heaven-grade treasures and even a Divine-grade treasure in Spirit Heaven. If you can find it, it will be yours. I will give you the general location of the treasures on the same day. Good luck, everybody." Yuan walked away from the platform and entered the Cultivators' Association with Chairman Lee while the guards there blocked the reporters from bombarding them. After returning to the room with the investors, Yuan looked around and asked, "Where are the others?" There were only four people left inside the room, and they were the ones who agreed to give Yuan their wealth. "They all left long ago… If you had mentioned my name during the interview, I would've left too…" "I see… Anyways, you have until tonight to hand me all of your wealth. If I find out that you didn't give me all of your money, I will do another interview. And don't even try running away because I will find you. Once you transfer the money, I don't want to ever hear from you or see you guys again. Do you understand me?" "Y-Yes! We understand!" They all shouted. Once Yuan handed his bank account to them, the four of them ran away. "Now I don't need to worry about having no money for a while." Yuan smiled once he was alone with Chairman Lee. "You'll probably have enough for more than one lifetime with the amount of money you're going to be getting later…" Chairman Lee shook his head with a bittersweet smile. "Thanks for your help, Chairman Lee. This wouldn't have been possible without your help." "I will be glad to help you at any time! If you need help again, you know where to find me." "I will send you a location in seven days. Go there and you will find something. No need to thank me. This is my way of thanking you." Yuan said to him. "T-Thank— Okay!" Chairman Lee nodded with excitement. Sometime later, he flew away from the Cultivators' Association since the outside was still flooded with people. A few blocks away, he met up with Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang. "Now that the entire world knows your true identity, what are you going to do?" Chu Liuxiang asked him. "The same as usual," he said with a smile. "I still can't believe you actually went through with it. I wonder how the Yu Family is doing now. I doubt they'll be able to survive after this scandal." "They'll probably go into hiding." Meixiu said. "They can hide all they want— as long as they give me back my money." Yuan said. "Hey, Yuan, since we have some time now, let's go visit the orphanage!" Chu Liuxiang suddenly suggested. "The orphanage…?" Yuan repeated in a mumbling voice. "Yes! It's not that far from here, too!" "Sure. Let's go." Yuan nodded with a smile. They started making their way to the orphanage while the rest of the world talked about Yuan's interview today. Meanwhile, at Eternal Lotuses, White Lotus and the others were busy refusing people that were trying to get into contact with Yu Rou after learning about her relationship with Yuan. As for the Yu Family, their headquarters was surrounded by people that were throwing trash among other stuff into their property. The police did not bother stopping these people because they didn't receive any complaints, and they also wanted justice for Yuan.
