Then, he chuckled softly: "Let's cover it up."
Wei Yuan suddenly realized what was happening, took a few steps back, retreated behind the chair to cover his robes, and his face turned completely red.
"Master, please don't misunderstand. This is just a normal reaction when I wake up in the morning."
He made this excuse, but inside he was furious with his own useless body.
He overestimated his self-control.
Yu Tang once cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness. Even without actively provoking him, just a glance or a gesture from the other party was enough to make him fall for her.
Now a man who has experienced nine worlds. Not only did she confess her feelings to him, but she also mastered all the flirting techniques.
How could he possibly handle such sudden intimacy?
"Well, you're not young anymore, this is quite normal."
Yu Tang nodded, not blaming him. While having Wei Yuan continue to style his hair, he asked casually, "Yuan'er, aren't you even a little curious about why I like you?"
The jade crown was placed on top of his head, and the man's sideburns were tidied up. Wei Yuan's mood, which had just calmed down, was stirred up again by these words.
He now understood that Yu Tang was suspicious of him.
It's his fault for still treating Yu Tang like the slow-witted master he used to be. It seems we need to think of a few more ways to smooth things over.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Yuan answered sincerely: "My master is a benefactor to me. He is the first person besides my mother to be kind to me and willing to accept me. I made up my mind long ago."
If Master doesn't send me away, I will stay with Master forever.
So I was curious why my master would like a demon like me.
But if Master is unwilling to explain the reason, I will not force you.
These words are well-reasoned, supported by evidence, and make perfect sense.
It was truly impeccable. Yu Tang turned around to face Wei Yuan, looked at the boy for a long while, and then smiled with her eyes crinkling: "I never expected that my Yuan'er would be such a considerate child."
"Master is truly moved."
For some reason, Wei Yuan felt a chill run down his spine when he heard those words.
And as if to confirm his premonition, after breakfast, just as he finished cleaning up the dishes, he saw his master carrying the Crimson Sun Sword, which was famous throughout the God Realm, walking up to him.
"Yuan'er..." Yu Tang called him in a very gentle voice, but the light of the long sword in his hand was chillingly cold: "Can you practice swordsmanship with your master?"
"Of course." Wei Yuan smiled shyly. "It would be my greatest pleasure to have Master practice swordsmanship with me."
The two stood facing each other, Yu Tang gazing at the boy opposite him.
That sense of familiarity and unease grew stronger and stronger.
After sobering up, he had shaken off those negative thoughts and was able to look at the problem more calmly.
First, there were the words spoken by the scattered spirit.
He and Wei Yuan were the sons of the Yang Heavenly Path and the Yin Heavenly Path, respectively.
They will suffer hardships if they are together, and one of them will inevitably die a terrible death.
This explanation made him feel as if he and Wei Yuan were puppets, being led by the nose.
Even emotions are controlled by the so-called laws of nature.
He hated this feeling.
Therefore, he wanted to fight.
This time, he didn't want to sacrifice himself, nor did he want to watch Wei Yuan die.
We'll go together if we have to, and we'll live together if we have to.
There's no need to waste time worrying about things that haven't happened yet; he just needs to stay focused on his ultimate goal.
That means to live and die with Wei Yuan, and never abandon him.
From their conversation that morning, he had vaguely sensed that Wei Yuan seemed to be regaining his memories as well.
But the other party seemed to be deliberately hiding things from him and trying to pretend to get away with it.
This inevitably annoyed him.
But he was afraid he had misunderstood the young man. So he decided to test Wei Yuan by having him compete in swordsmanship.
After all, if Wei Yuan really regained his memories, then at least in terms of his abilities, he would definitely be exposed.
He remembered what Xiao Jin had said: this kid slaughtered all the gods, and he didn't believe that combat skills could still hold up!
Thinking of this, Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief, gave Wei Yuan a kind smile, and asked.
Are you ready?
Chapter 19
Died for the villain for the tenth time (19)
Wei Yuan felt a chill run down his spine and nodded: "Ready."
The next moment, the longsword in his hand was knocked away and stuck diagonally into the ground.
Yu Tang, on the other hand, seemed completely unmoved, holding his sword and saying, "Pick it up..."
He stared intently at Wei Yuan's movements and said, "If you can't even hold your own sword, what kind of swordsman can you be?"
"I'm sorry, Master." Wei Yuan's palms were numb, and he bent down to pick up the longsword.
He assumed an offensive stance, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
However, the next moment, the longsword was knocked away again and fell to the ground with a thud.
The master who had gently guided him yesterday now looked at him sternly and uttered, "Pick it up..."
"Um……"
Wei Yuan picked it up again, and just as he put it down, there was another clanging sound.
The longsword fell to the ground.
"Pick it up..."
He gritted his teeth, picked it up, and was thrown away again.
"Pick it up..."
And so, Yu Tang tortured him thousands of times. Until blood kept seeping from the tiger's mouth of Wei Yuan's hands, staining the sword hilt red, and dripping onto the ground.
But Yu Tang acted as if he hadn't seen it and charged forward again. This time, for the first time, he unleashed his killing intent towards Wei Yuan.
That chilling killing intent made Wei Yuan's body react instinctively, his eyes reflexively reflecting Yu Tang's attack trajectory!
It can block it!
But at the critical moment, Wei Yuan suddenly realized Yu Tang's intention in doing so.
So, he gave up resisting in an instant and just stood there, his eyes reflecting Yu Tang's figure.
Yu Tang's pupils contracted, and he quickly withdrew his attack. The tip of his sword deviated by an inch, grazing past Wei Yuan's shoulder. The sword energy tore through his robes and cut his skin.
Blood seeped out, staining the clothes red.
The injury looked frightening, but it wasn't serious, and Wei Yuan didn't react much.
He was about to say something when he saw Yu Tang stagger a few steps, fall to the ground, cover his head, and start breathing rapidly.
"Master!"
Wei Yuan was startled by his appearance. He only wanted to deceive the other party and make his master think that he had not regained his memories.
That's why he didn't resist, but he didn't expect Yu Tang to react this way.
He pressed on Yu Tang's shoulder and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
Yu Tang's mind was in turmoil.
Because just a moment ago, he remembered.
So many things.
He remembered everything that happened 100,000 years ago.
This includes his indifference towards Wei Yuan and Wei Yuan's coercion towards him.
Even later, the sword he plunged into Wei Yuan's chest...
He finally understood why he felt sorry for Wei Yuan in the fragments he recalled in the previous worlds.
Because he hurt Wei Yuan, and hurt him too deeply.
It all started when he saved Wei Yuan.
At first, Wei Yuan was very rebellious, like a little hedgehog that only showed its quills on its back.
After she confessed her past to him, she became cute and well-behaved.
He treated Wei Yuan as a disciple and family member, and taught him with great care.
Wei Yuan also doted on him and took care of him in every possible way. Even though he was the master, Wei Yuan was spoiled by his disciple and became increasingly lazy, even somewhat dependent on Wei Yuan.
Later, as time went by, he vaguely realized that Wei Yuan's feelings for him were somewhat unusual.
If he had cut off the root cause back then and gotten Wei Yuan to leave him, things wouldn't have escalated to the point they did later.
But strangely, he didn't do that.
From that time on, he began to be tormented by the ruthless path.
Whenever Wei Yuan is involved, his heart aches, and chanting sounds echo in his mind, preventing him from being moved.
His cultivation level even began to fluctuate and regress.
Afterwards, Wei Yuan finally couldn't help but confess his feelings, and he was shocked at first.
Then immediately she refused, brushed it off, and even lectured Wei Yuan that men cannot be together.
Moreover, he cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness, so he would never fall in love with anyone.
The more times he refused, the more hurt Wei Yuan suffered.
