This kind of master was so gentle that it made his heart ache.
Why didn't anyone care about Master back then?
Why is there no one who understands Yu Tang's pain and stays by his side?
But thinking of this, Wei Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and a selfish feeling surfaced.
If someone else comes along, then...won't he be left out?
Pshaw! I don't want to think about it anymore!
Wei Yuan banished all those thoughts from his mind.
He was afraid that if he kept thinking about it, he would get so jealous of someone who wasn't even real that he would die.
Yu Tang felt a sense of relief when he saw him smile.
He opened his mouth, then closed it again.
Then he pointed to his own eyes, then to Wei Yuan's eyes, and said, "Don't cry."
He can't stand seeing anyone cry.
Especially this handsome junior brother, who was already good-looking, became even more pitiful when he cried.
This made him feel very uncomfortable.
Upon hearing this, Wei Yuan quickly wiped away his tears, asked Yu Tang to sit down, and then quickly fetched a basin of clean water. He said to Yu Tang, "I'm not crying anymore, but my senior brother wants me to treat your wounds."
"Huh?" Yu Tang was stunned for two seconds before she understood what he meant, and quickly shook her head: "No, no need."
He has always been a loner, handling everything on his own, and is not used to physical contact with others.
This junior brother immediately offered to treat his wounds, which made him feel very embarrassed.
Wei Yuan noticed his unease, thought for a moment, and didn't press him.
After all, he didn't want to do anything that would make his master dislike him.
I said, "Then you can handle it yourself, but if there's anything you can't reach, be sure to call me."
Seeing that Yu Tang was about to refuse again, Wei Yuan pouted and added, "If you can't reach it and don't ask me for help, I'll cry again!"
Yu Tang was stunned for a moment, and swallowed the word "no" back down his throat.
Then he watched as the handsome junior brother picked up the door that had fallen to the ground and said, "I'll fix the door for you, you can take your time wiping it."
After a series of clanging and banging sounds, just as Yu Tang finished changing his clothes, Wei Yuan finished fixing the door and came in.
Yu Tang was only wearing a thin undergarment. The wounds on his chest, waist, and limbs had all been treated, except for his back. Holding the handkerchief in his hand, he slightly tightened his fingers, which were covered in crisscrossing scars. It seemed as if he had mustered a great deal of courage before he said to Wei Yuan, "Here..."
"Back"
After saying that, she turned around, took off her upper garment, revealing her beautiful but scarred back.
When Wei Yuan's fingers touched the wound, Yu Tang trembled slightly.
His Adam's apple bobbed a few times, and a strange heat rose to Yu Tang's cheeks as he spoke.
“Use cloth.”

The implication was that Wei Yuan was not allowed to touch him directly with his hands.
After all, he really wasn't used to being touched.
This would make him feel apprehensive and embarrassed.
Wei Yuan also came to his senses, withdrew his fingers, and used a handkerchief to clean Yu Tang's wound, still thinking: Master's back is so beautiful.
Even covered in scars, it possesses a unique, cruel beauty...
Ptooey!
Wei Yuan was startled by his own thought, and in anger, he reached out his other hand and slapped his head hard!
Yu Tang happened to witness this scene.
The boy's face suddenly showed another emotion—confusion.
He thought this junior brother was really too strange.
One minute she's pestering him, running all over the sect. The next she's smashing up his door, then she's clinging to his arm and crying, and then she's beating herself so badly.
Who knows what other unbelievable things this junior brother will do in the future?
"Senior brother, the wounds have all been cleaned. Lie down on the bed, and I'll apply the medicine for you." Wei Yuan's voice brought Yu Tang back to his senses.
He turned his head and met Wei Yuan's bright, captivating eyes.
He found himself completely surrounded by those eyes, and for a moment he couldn't bring himself to refuse.
In the end, he could only nod.
She obediently lay down on the bed.
And so, Yu Tang's back ultimately could not escape Wei Yuan's "clutches".
Dissolve the ointment in your fingers and spread it on your skin.
I don't know where my junior brother got the wound medicine, but it was obviously of excellent quality. It penetrated the wound without causing any stinging sensation; instead, it felt cool and comfortable.
In addition, his movements were so incredibly gentle.
This made Yu Tang, who was hugging a pillow, feel drowsy.
He even forgot he had to practice swordsmanship that night and drifted off to sleep...
The ointment Wei Yuan took out contained sedative ingredients, so that his master, who was always on edge, could get a good night's sleep.
After Yu Tang fell asleep, he helped Yu Tang tidy up his clothes and covered him with a light blanket.
Step outside the room and stand there.
His gaze was fixed on the distance.
Sure enough, a short while later, the elder of the Sword-Holding Hall, who was in charge of supervising Yu Tang, arrived. Upon seeing Wei Yuan, he frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Wei Yuan blocked the elder who was about to barge into Yu Tang's room and said, "Elder Lu, I have already applied to the sect leader that I will be living next to Senior Brother from now on and cultivating with him."
"So from today onwards, I will be in charge of supervising my senior brother's cultivation, so the elders of your Sword-Holding Hall won't have to go through the trouble of running around."
"You're in charge?" Elder Lu clearly didn't believe it, frowning as he asked, "You've just arrived at the sect, and your strength isn't high. How can you be in charge of Yutang?"
Wei Yuan narrowed his eyes and released the pressure he had been holding back, rushing towards Elder Lu, forcing him to retreat several steps and almost stumble and fall to the ground!
After standing up straight, Elder Lu was filled with horror.
"During the disciple assessment, weren't you just at the Golden Core stage? How come... who exactly are you?"
"Shh..." Wei Yuan gestured for him to be quiet, then pointed mysteriously to the sky and said, "The Great Dao is in a cycle, and the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed."
Upon hearing this, Elder Lu immediately realized his mistake and hurriedly bowed to Wei Yuan, saying, "I understand! I won't speak carelessly. Please forgive my rudeness just now!"
He had clearly come to regard Wei Yuan as a god descended from heaven, and his attitude had changed drastically, becoming extremely respectful.
Having achieved his goal, Wei Yuan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, you can go now. I won't hold it against you."
"I just hope that from now on, none of you will urge Yutang to do anything anymore."
Do you understand?
Elder Lu nodded in agreement and disappeared into the distance.
After doing all this, Wei Yuan turned around and went back to Yu Tang's room, pulled up a chair and sat down by the boy's bed.
She rested her chin on her hand and looked at him with a smile.
"Alright, Master, now you can finally get a good night's sleep."
Good night, sweet dreams.
I hope you dream of me.

Yu Tang actually dreamed of Wei Yuan.
But it wasn't a good dream.
He dreamt of his handsome junior brother, who kept banging his head against his own door, causing it to bleed.
Then he started crying, his face covered in blood and tears.
This startled Yu Tang awake.
I suddenly opened my eyes, my mind still a little foggy and confused.
He instinctively reached out to his side, only to breathe a sigh of relief when he touched the longsword he always kept in his hand.
At this moment, Yu Tang also noticed Wei Yuan lying on the side of the bed.
After carefully examining his junior brother's face and finding no blood, he was certain this wasn't a dream.
Before he could look away, Wei Yuan opened his eyes, and his unusually well-behaved face, which had been sleeping peacefully, instantly brightened.
"Senior brother, you're awake?"
Wei Yuan explained quite consciously, "The reason I was in your room was because I saw that you were so badly injured and I was worried about you."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Yu Tang seemed to have thought of something, suddenly sat up, and was about to run out the door barefoot.
"Senior brother!" Wei Yuan was startled and grabbed him, but he didn't control his strength well.
The next moment, the two of them collapsed onto the bed.
Wei Yuan was on top, Yu Tang was on the bottom, and his wrist was being held firmly by his handsome junior brother.
Unable to hold back any longer, he turned his face away, his disheveled hair covering half of his face, revealing a faint pink hue: "Practicing swordsmanship, we're going to be late."
