Cultivation Online-Novel

Chapter 960 - Meeting Between Two Legacy Families

Inside a private room, the Patriarch of the Bai Family stood before a projector that was projecting a video call.

On the other side of the call was the Patriarch of the Zheng Family.

The two of them had decided to video call each other to talk about the recent incident between White Lotus and Zheng Weimin.

"You claim that your son, Zheng Weimin, had gone to visit my daughter, Bai Lianhua, and returned beaten and humiliated without any good reason, but I heard a different story from my daughter."

"She claims that your son, Zheng Weimin, had rudely forced himself into a private meeting between my daughter and her clients. Not only that, he even insulted my daughter and her clients."

"That's a load of bullshit, Bai Mengyao! My son went to visit your daughter because he had something important to tell her, but he was assaulted and humiliated before he could even speak with her! He was even beaten unconscious!"

"Zheng Ye, there's no need to sugar your words. We both know that your son is obsessed with my daughter. We have told your Zheng Family many times that Bai Lianhua does not wish to be with Zheng Weimin, yet he keeps on causing trouble for her, which causes trouble for my family." Bai Mengyao shook his head.

"Don't try to change the subject, Bai Mengyao! We're talking about how your daughter attacked my son! No matter their relationship, that won't change the fact that my son had been beaten by her!" Zheng Ye slammed his desk in anger.

"Now that's where you're wrong." Bai Mengyao shook his head again.

"How am I wrong?!"

"My daughter did not lay a hand on your son. It was her client who had an altercation with Zheng Weimin, so you're speaking with the wrong person right now. If you really want to seek justice for your son, you should probably go speak with the young man who felt the need to beat your son. Though, I'm sure he has a good reason, especially considering Zheng Weimin's bad reputation."

Zheng Weimin gritted his teeth in frustration. He knew that White Lotus hadn't touched his son. However, he could not let go the chance to blame the Bai Family that has been refusing to give their Zheng Family face for years now by rejecting Zheng Weimin's proposal to White Lotus.

"I don't care if your daughter touched him or not! As the host, she should've kept her client in check! Like how we're responsible for our dogs' actions, White Lotus is responsible for her clients' actions!"

Bai Mengyao suddenly laughed out loud.

"What's so funny?!" Zheng Ye frowned.

"My daughter should keep that person in check? You have no idea who her client even is! Let me warn you, Zheng Ye, that young man your son had offended is not someone the Zheng Family can afford to offend, much less my Bai Family!"

'What? Someone even my family cannot offend?' The frown on Zheng Ye's face sank even further down.

"There is nobody that my Zheng Family cannot handle! We may be ranked fifth in the Legacy Ranking, but our influence surpasses even the 3rd rank!"

"Suit yourself. And don't even bother trying to ask me for information on that person. I don't feel like offending him, so if you'll excuse me, I have other business that I need to attend."

"Don't you dare run away from—"

Bai Mengyao ignored him and closed the video call.

"What a pain in the ass. However, this is a good opportunity to see just how powerful this Player Yuan is… He may be powerful in Cultivation Online, but the real world is a whole different game. Will he be able to deal with the Zheng Family like how he'd dealt with the Cultivators' Association?"

Bai Mengyao kind of hoped that Yuan would get pushed into a corner by the Zheng Family so that his Bai Family could come to his rescue and make him owe their family.

Sometime later, the Bai Family contacted White Lotus to notify her of the situation.

"I understand. I will warn him."

After closing the line, White Lotus said to Yuan, "It appears that the Zheng Family had tried to pressure my family."

"Is your family okay?" He asked.

"For now, yes, but there's a good chance that the Zheng Family will continue to harass my family until we compromise. My family also told me to warn you that the Zheng Family will be coming after you as well."

"Why am I not surprised?" Yuan shook his head.

"Knowing the Zheng Family, they will go after your friends and family if they learn of your true identity as Yu Tian. However, only very few higher ups in my family, myself, and Jasmine, know that." White Lotus said.

"Honestly, I don't care even if they find out about my identity. I will even be grateful to them if they caused trouble to the Yu Family." Yuan chuckled.

"What about Yu Rou…?" White Lotus looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"Your faction will protect her, right?"

"Of course! I swear on my name and reputation as the leader of the faction that no harm will come to your sister, Yu Rou!" She immediately responded.

Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you, but if they really target Yu Rou, your faction won't have the chance to protect her, as I will destroy the entire Zheng Family before they can even act."

White Lotus swallowed nervously after seeing how Yuan spoke about crushing the Zheng Family so causally. It was almost like the Zheng Family couldn't even be considered ants in his eyes.

'Just how powerful are you, Yuan?' White Lotus sighed inwardly.

Their group continued to wander the city without a care in the world, almost like their trouble with the Zheng Family was nonexistent.The source of this ᴄontent is novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt

At the end of the day, they returned back to the hotel.

"I couldn't find a birthday present for Yu Rou today even though we looked at many stores…" Meixiu sighed.

"Don't worry, you still have tomorrow." Chu Liuxiang said to her.

"I guess…"

Shortly after returning to the hotel, White Lotus invited them for dinner, which they accepted.
