Chapter 959 - I Want Him Dead!
"Besides wealth and fame, what do you get for being part of the Legacy Ranking?" Yuan asked.
"Influence and social status." White Lotus calmly replied.
"I get the meaning behind the Legacy Ranking, but how does it actually work?" Chu Liuxiang suddenly asked.
"If we're going by rankings, doesn't it mean Yuan, who is the current number one player in Cultivation Online, number one in the Legacy Ranking?"
"Yes and no. In order to enter the Legacy Ranking, you must participate in a tournament that is held every year. You need at least 10 people in your 'family' to participate. While Yuan is, without doubt, the number one player in Cultivation Online, it doesn't mean he will automatically take first place in the Legacy Ranking."
"Yuan, why don't you join this year's tournament and show the Legacy Families who's boss?" Chu Liuxiang chuckled at this idea.
White Lotus immediately started sweating after hearing Chu Liuxiang's words.
"A-Actually, since Yuan doesn't belong to any family, I think it would be for the best if he joined another family. Of course, I am not just saying this so I can recruit you into our family— even though I would love to."
"The other Legacy Families won't like it if a newly created family suddenly becomes Rank 1, and they will probably do everything in their power to prevent it from happening."
"So what you're saying is… They will try to mess with Yuan if he tries to join with his own family." Meixiu said.
"Unfortunately, that is exactly what will happen." White Lotus sighed.
"However, if you really want to start your own family, you can try forming alliances with other Legacy Families."
"What about factions? Can I join with my faction?" Yuan suddenly asked.
"Actually, yes, you can. It was implemented just recently, but factions are now able to participate in the Legacy Ranking."
"Are you really planning on joining the Legacy Ranking with your faction?" White Lotus looked at Yuan with a nervous gaze.
"Honestly, I couldn't care less about the Legacy Ranking. Whether it be wealth or influence, it doesn't mean anything to me. I created the faction so that I can always be with the people that are close to me, that's all."
"I see…" White Lotus was relieved to hear Yuan's words.
If he won't be participating in the Legacy Ranking, it won't be as chaotic and stressful.
However, nothing is set in stone and it is still too early to tell if Yuan will affect this year's Legacy Ranking.
Sometime later, White Lotus brought Yuan and the others to their rooms.
"You can use these three rooms for as long as you please. They are the best we have in the hotel."
"Thank you." They said.
After picking their own rooms, they moved their luggage inside.
"Do you plan on walking around the city anytime soon?" White Lotus asked them shortly after.
"We plan on doing it now." Yuan nodded.
"Can you give me a few minutes to prepare my disguise?" White Lotus then asked.
"Sure."
"Thank you very much." White Lotus went into the room right beside their room and proceeded to disguise herself.
A few minutes later, she returned to their side with a completely different appearance.
Her hair turned blonde, and even her eyes changed to a beautiful green color. As for her dress, she changed it into something more casual, and she even went out of her way to wear sunglasses like Yuan.
"How do I look?" She asked them.
"I wouldn't recognize you if I didn't know your identity beforehand." Yuan smiled.
"That's great."
They left the hotel shortly after and started walking around the city.
Of course, even with White Lotus disguised, their group still attracted plenty of attention because of Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang.
Meanwhile, at the Zheng Family's headquarters, Zheng Weimin was lying in his bed when he suddenly woke up screaming.
"AAAAAH! HELP ME! I'M FALLING!"
"Young Master! Calm down! You're not falling!" His servants quickly attended him.
"W-What?" Zheng Weimin looked at his surroundings with a puzzled face, his back soaked in cold sweat.
"Where am I? What happened?"
"You're in your own room right now, Young Master. You lost consciousness after what happened, so we carried you back here."
The servants did not dare to mention that he'd sullied his pants, so they left that detail out.
"THAT BASTARD! HOW DARE HE EMBARRASS ME IN FRONT OF WHITE LOTUS! I WANT HIM DEAD!" Zheng Weimin roared.
The servants started sweating, and they quickly reminded him of what happened, "Young Master, are you sure that's a good idea? That man could fly!"
"Do you really think humans can fly?! This is not Cultivation Online! He was obviously using some kind of trick to make it seem like he was flying!" Zheng Weimin shouted, clearly in denial.
"I believe we should investigate his identity before we act."
"Then hurry up and investigate him! I want to know everything about him! His family, his friends— everything!"
"Just you wait… I will show you what happens when you offend me! I am going to crush you and your insignificant life!"
"I also want the Bai Family to be held responsible for what happened today! Call my father and tell him that White Lotus from the Bai Family has assaulted me today!"
The servants quickly went to work after hearing Zheng Weimin's words. Despite knowing that Zheng Weimin was being unreasonable, they could not defy his orders, and they were already used to it.
Sometime later, after hearing about what had happened to his precious son and how he'd almost died today, the head of the Zheng Family immediately contacted the Bai Family, demanding an explanation.
Of course, the Bai Family had expected their contact and even prepared for it.
While the Zheng Family was oblivious of Yuan's identity, the Bai Family knew very well that he was the one behind the incident today, so they took advantage of their knowledge to mess with the Zheng Family.
