Chapter 1495 There''s Still Hope


    ?1495  There''s Still Hope


    ''Yuan has a lover? This is huge news—probably the biggest one in this entire interview!'' Yan Xiaoxiao cried inwardly, and she couldn''t help but feel pity for the countless maidens who had fallen in love with Yuan.


    "H-how long have you been together for?" Yan Xiaoxiao continued to inquire.


    "Probably about a year now?" Meixiu said with a pondering expression.


    "You guys can continue. I''ll be in the training ground with the others." Yuan said before leaving them alone.


    After Yuan left, Yan Xiaoxiao asked, "In your eyes, what do you believe is Yuan''s biggest charm? And when did you start liking him?"


    "I don''t know when I started liking him, but I''ve probably liked him since our childhood. He has many charms, but his biggest charm is definitely his dependability. I can always depend on his words, and it''s a great feeling always to have someone to rely on."


    In the training grounds, Yuan sparred with the others.


    Meanwhile, the world outside of the Dragon Spiral Mountain was in an uproar after all Faction Wars had been paused and dyed for an entire month.


    When the organizers, the Cultivators'' Association, were questioned for a reason, their response during a live interview sent immense shockwaves throughout the entire world.


    "The Great Battlefield is undergoing reconstruction, and all arenas will receive an upgrade, which will allow the yers to fight each other with their full strength without needing to worry about identally killing their opponents!"


    When the Chairman of the Cultivators'' Association made this announcement, they were bombarded with questions on how such a feat was even possible.


    "We have a powerful Array Master on our side who has the ability to create formations to achieve this feat."


    "Who is this Array Master?!" One reporter asked.


    "Unfortunately, we are not allowed to disclose his identity, as requested by the Array Master himself."


    "How reliable are these formations?" Another reporter asked.


    "Very reliable. I, along with several of my colleagues, experienced firsthand its effects, and we can guarantee its effectiveness." Chairman Lee responded.


    "If you''re not convinced by this, the Demon Sealing Faction and the Fiery Garden of Hell have agreed to be the first ones to test the formation."


    "W-wait! Does that mean the Fiery Garden of Hell has epted yer Yuan''s direct challenge?!"


    "Indeed. The Fiery Garden of Hell was the one to send the challenge request, and the Demon Sealing Faction epted it. The terms of the Faction War will be the same as the Demon Sealing Faction''s Faction War against the Fiery Locust Swarm."


    During this interview, the world also learned of the Demon Sealing Faction''s second Faction War, which was several times more shocking than their match against the Fiery Locust Swarm, as the Fiery Garden of Hell had over half a million yers.


    Thousands of articles on their uing Faction War filled the inte.


    [Fiery Garden of Hell epts yer Yuan''s challenge!]


    [yer Yuan bites more than he can chew!]


    [From ranked 86 to ranked 5th! Will yer Yuan challenge rank 1 for their third Faction War?!]


    While the rest of the world talked about the uing changes to the future of Faction Wars, Yan Xiaoxiao interviewed Chu Liuxiang after Meixiu.


    "How long have you known Yuan?" Yan Xiaoxiao asked.


    "I''ve known Yuan even before he was adopted by the Yu Family. We came from the same orphanage, after all."


    "Wow, what was Yuan like during his childhood?" Yan Xiaoxiao''s eyes flickered with excitement at this unexpected information.


    "Pretty much how you''d expect a child to behave, but he was already talented with instruments back then. He taught me how to y the harmonica, too."


    "How would you describe your rtionship with Yuan nowadays?"


    "We''re partners." Chu Liuxiang responded without hesitation.


    "H-huh?" Yan Xiaoxiao''s eyes widened.


    "By partner, do you mean—"


    "We''re lovers." Chu Liuxiang interrupted.


    "..."


    "Huh? Wait… but I thought…" Yan Xiaoxiao immediately became confused by this revtion.


    Yan Xiaoxiao wasn''t sure if she should mention Meixiu. What if Yuan and Chu Liuxiang were in some kind of secret rtionship? What if he was cheating on Meixiu? These stories are verymon, after all.


    Seeing Yan Xiaoxiao''s hesitation, Chu Liuxiang chuckled, "Are you worried about Meixiu?"


    "Eh?"


    "Don''t worry, we''re both his lovers."


    "So she knows?"


    "Yes."


    "And you''re both okay with sharing him?"


    "Of course."


    "I-is that so…" Yan Xiaoxiao could feel her heart racing for some reason.


    "Why are you surprised? It''s not a new thing. My father also has several wives."


    Yan Xiaoxiao cleared her throat and said, "Now that you mention it, I guess it isn''t that surprising for someone like Yuan to have several lovers."


    ''There''s still hope for the others!'' she cried inwardly.


    Yu Ning also had simr thoughts when she learned that Yuan had two daopanions.


    Yan Xiaoxiao ended her interview with Chu Liuxiang an hourter. Although there was still plenty of time, she decided to end the interview for that day since only Yuan was left to be interviewed, and she wanted to spend an entire day with him.


    When noon arrived, Yuan, Chu Liuxiang, and Wang Xiuying made their way to the Chu Family''s residence as scheduled. This time, they just flew directly to their residence, saving time.


    "Sebastian, why is the house so empty? Where''s everyone?" Chu Liuxiang asked as they walked through the empty hallways.


    "The other mistresses and your siblings are all doing their own things outside."


    "When father is this sick?" Chu Liuxiang frowned.


    "It''s precisely because he''s sick that they have to leave. After all, with the Master bedridden, they are the only ones who can continue the family businesses." Sebastian exined.


    "That makes sense. I shouldn''t have made any assumptions. Sorry."


    "It''s fine. I understandpletely where you''reing from."


    They entered Chu Shijian''s room shortly after.


    "You look much better today." Wang Xiuying said to Chu Shijian after seeing his appearance.


    "It''s all thanks to you." Chu Shijianughed heartily.


    "Anyway, I have a question. How is that poison typically applied?" he suddenly stoppedughing and asked with a serious expression.
