Chapter 247 A Year Ago

’I don’t have any money in my bank account? How’s that possible? I haven’t touched it since I got it!’ Yuan pondered for a moment before realizing something.

However, before he could even say anything, Meixiu spoke, "The statement says the money, all 242,690 dollars, had been transferred to another bank account last year..."

"Two hundred thousand? I guess I had more than just a couple of thousand inside. As for where the money went, I can only imagine that it was my parents who took them." Yuan sighed.

And he continued, "Although I don’t know how much I actually earned during my professional days, they really don’t intend on leaving anything for me even though I earned it, huh? And if they’d taken the money a year ago, that means they were already prepared to disown me at that time."

"..."

Meixiu was silent as she listened to Yuan’s grumbling.

If she recalls correctly, not even mentioning the money Yuan had won from major competitions, his parents would earn millions of dollars every single time Yuan went on the stage to perform in front of an audience. In fact, the larger performances easily earned them tens of millions of dollars. It is safe to assume that Yuan was the Yu Family’s golden goose, hence why his parents waited so long before officially abandoning him.

Furthermore, Yuan would perform almost every other day, and if he was not performing for an audience, he would be participating in competitions, and he did this for many years. One can safely assume that Yuan had earned the Yu Family hundreds of millions of dollars if not billions when he was playing for them.

However, despite everything he’s done and given them, the Yu Family discarded him when they deemed him useless, and even worse, they were shameless enough to take what little he had left, leaving him with literally nothing.

’Perhaps this is why they even adopted me in the first place— because they can dispose of me whenever they feel like it since I’m not their real son.’ Yuan sighed inwardly.

"Anyway, since my parents have access to that account, I cannot use it anymore. I will need a new bank account. But how do I open one?" Yuan asked a moment later.

"We can ask the Young Lady once she’s done with the game," Meixiu suggested.

"Okay."

Thus, Yuan returned to cultivating whilst Meixiu went to clean the house even though it was already pretty clean.

Many hours later, Yu Rou finally arrived at Red Pearl City with Feng Yuxiang.

"Thank you, Feng Feng." Yu Rou said to her as they landed in front of the city entrance, shocking the pedestrians and guards there.

"Don’t even mention it." Feng Yuxiang said, and she continued, "Anyway, I will return to the Young Master’s side now. But before I leave..."

Feng Yuxiang reached into her spatial ring and retrieved a small red pouch before handing it to Yu Rou.

"Take this. If you’re ever in danger, just use the life-saving treasures inside."

"You don’t have to..." Yu Rou hesitated to accept such precious treasures for free.

"It’s okay. The Young Master cares for you very much, and he will be sad if anything happens to you."

After a moment of silence, Yu Rou reluctantly accepted the treasures. "Thank you, Feng Feng. I’ll definitely repay you in the future."

Feng Yuxiang nodded before flying away, making her way back to the Dragon Essence Temple.

’Young Master’s sister... she doesn’t share the same bloodline as the Young Master...’ Feng Yuxiang thought to herself as she soared in the sky.

After spending a few hours with Yu Rou, Feng Yuxiang couldn’t help but probe Yu Rou’s body with her spiritual energy, and to her surprise, she noticed that Yu Rou and Yuan belonged to a different bloodline!

Even without tasting Yu Rou’s blood, as a phoenix and a Divine Beast, she has the ability to examine one’s bloodline just by being in close contact with them, and while she was curious about their real relationship, Feng Yuxiang didn’t dare to probe too deeply into their business.

’No wonder why the Young Master is extremely talented whilst his sister is somewhat lacking... So they weren’t related in the first place...’ Feng Yuxiang thought to herself.

While Yuan’s presence radiated with overwhelming talents, Yu Rou, on the other hand, was only above average compared to the Cultivators of this world— at least that’s how she appeared in Feng Yuxiang’s eyes, which didn’t make sense at first. But if they were not real siblings, that explained their disparity.

After arriving at Red Pearl City, Yu Rou logged off the game to let Xia Jingyi know.

"Jingyi? I have arrived at Red Pearl City." Yu Rou said to her over the phone.

"What? Already? That’s super quick! How did you do it?" Xia Jingyi’s surprised voice resounded shortly later.

"Let’s just say I had a little assistance from a friend," Yu Rou chuckled.

"Anyways, it’s already late, and we have school tomorrow, so let’s play next weekend."

"Okay!" Xia Jingyi quickly said.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Rou went to knock on Yuan’s door.

"Brother Tian, I have arrived at my destination, and Feng Feng is returning to your side now," she said to him.

"That’s good," Yuan said.

"I’m going to prepare your dinner now." Yu Rou said.

"Wait for a second, Yu Rou. Before you go, I have something to tell you."

"What’s the matter?" Yu Rou asked.

"Well... It’s about my bank account... It’s completely empty." Yuan said in a sighing voice.

"What?" Yu Rou stared at him with wide eyes.

Yuan then explained the situation to her.

After learning the situation, Yu Rou was greatly shocked, even disgusted by her parents’ actions.

"How could they do something like this, much less to their own son?! That’s your money! Something you earned! They have no right to take it from you! And to think they did it last year! Completely shameless and disgusting!" Yu Rou exclaimed, immediately feeling enraged.
