Yu Tang paused for a moment, then smiled: "Happy..."
"That means you like me, senior brother."
Yu Tang suddenly realized again and said to Wei Yuan, "Well, then I like you."
Taking advantage of the situation, Wei Yuan urged him to say, "Then, senior brother, speak with me."
"Yu Tang likes Wei Yuan."
Yu Tang obediently replied, "Yu Tang likes Wei Yuan."
Wei Yuan could barely contain the smug smile on his face. He coughed lightly, reached out and wiped the crumbs of pastry from Yu Tang's lips with his finger, and said, "But in that case, you can only tell me, senior brother. Don't tell anyone else."
Seeing Yu Tang nod obediently again, Wei Yuan was almost overwhelmed by cuteness. He immediately turned his head and secretly licked his finger, which was covered in pastry crumbs.
Only then did he suppress the crazy thoughts that filled his mind.
He was extremely grateful that he had transmigrated. Otherwise, missing out on such a pure and adorable master would have been a lifelong regret!

Yu Tang was unaware of the complexities in Wei Yuan's mind. He played with Wei Yuan until late at night before flying back to Wushang Peak on his sword.
Still somewhat excited, the corners of her lips were always slightly upturned.
Wei Yuan escorted him into his room, then pointed to the room and said, "Senior brother, I live next door to you. I'll ask you to practice swordsmanship with me tomorrow."
Yu Tang nodded.
After closing the door and facing the thick wooden board, Yu Tang suddenly recalled the way Wei Yuan had banged his head against the board. The corners of his lips curled up again. Yu Tang thought to himself: Although this junior brother always does strange things, he is very good to him.
So, it's really great to have met my junior brother.
Wei Yuan thus settled down at Wushang Peak.
He not only became Yu Tang's shadow, but also Wu Shangfeng's "housekeeper".
He usually followed Yu Tang to large classes and practiced swordsmanship.
When it's mealtime, she's also responsible for cooking for Yu Tang. She also washes Yu Tang's clothes and airs out his bedding. Yu Tang, who used to live a simple life and try to simplify things as much as possible, has now become extremely picky about food.
When cultivating, he would just eat fasting pills to get by, but when he wasn't cultivating, he absolutely had to eat the food cooked by Wei Yuan, otherwise he would feel unwell.
This is something that troubles Yu Tang himself.
He felt like he had become...more delicate?
My father said that sword cultivators must cultivate their body and mind, and endure all kinds of hardships in order to achieve great success.
But as soon as Wei Yuan arrived, his suffering seemed to disappear completely.
Is this really okay?
"Why not?" Wei Yuan immediately adopted a lecturing tone when he heard Yu Tang say that.
He patiently explained, "Senior brother, cultivation is cultivation, and life is life."
"Being kinder to yourself is for better cultivation; they complement each other. You can no longer listen to the sect leader and put them in opposition."
Yu Tang was caught in his trap.
He nodded, agreeing with his junior brother.
Wei Yuan's face immediately lit up with joy. He scooped up a spoonful of his homemade ice cream and fed it to Yu Tang's lips: "Senior brother, ah—"
Yu Tang put the ice cream in his mouth, and on this hot summer day, he was enveloped by the cool and sweet taste, and happily squinted his eyes.
With Wei Yuan's help and guidance, Yu Tang's control over the sword body improved, and he no longer experienced situations where his sword intent would harm himself or others.
Moreover, the longer he spent with Wei Yuan, the more often he laughed, and the more fluent he became in his speech.
It no longer gives off a cold feeling, but instead becomes very gentle, making people want to get close to it.
This led to Yu Tang's popularity skyrocketing within the Wujian Sect!
People who were previously afraid to approach Yu Tang are now trying to do so, asking him questions about cultivation. Yu Tang will patiently explain things to them and correct their mistakes in swordsmanship.
They were enlightened and thanked him repeatedly.
Her fondness for Yu Tang gradually reached an absurd level.
As a result, a year later, wherever Yu Tang went, he would be surrounded by his sect's fans, who would vie to talk to him.
Wei Yuan was so angry that he would grit his teeth and jump up and down, but he had to endure it and not let it happen.
Who knows how many circles he secretly drew while squatting in the corner.
One day, Yu Tang received a sachet from a female cultivator. She happily presented it to him and said, "Junior Brother, this was given to me by Junior Sister Qin. She said she wanted to thank me for guiding her that day..."
Wei Yuan finally erupted.
His eyes were fixed on the sachet, as if he wanted to burn it to ashes with his gaze.
Unable to resist, he stepped forward, grabbed Yu Tang's wrist, pressed him against the wall, and asked, "Senior brother, tell me, do you accept anything from anyone?"
"Is this how you are, accepting anyone who comes your way?"

Yu Tang blinked, stared into Wei Yuan's eyes, and asked him, "Junior Brother, are you angry?"
When Wei Yuan was looked at by Yu Tang's innocent eyes, the anger that had been building up inside him was like being pricked by a needle, and it all vanished in an instant.
It was only then that he realized he had gone too far with the phrase "accepting all comers".
Fortunately, my master is rather naive now. Otherwise, my words would definitely have hurt him.
Upon seeing the sachet, Wei Yuan felt as if his own cabbage had been eaten by a pig.
My heart was filled with resentment.
"Yes, I'm angry."
He released Yu Tang's hand, turned his back, and tried to calm his chaotic emotions.
Yu Tang paused for a moment, looking at Wei Yuan's back, and for some reason, felt uneasy.
His junior brother always spoke to him with a smile, but just now Wei Yuan not only stopped smiling, but also said he was angry.
Now I'm ignoring him completely.
This made Yu Tang a little flustered.
"Can you tell me why you're angry?" Yu Tang asked, holding the sachet. "Is it because I accepted Junior Sister Qin's sachet that you're angry?"
He tried to find the reason and thought that Wei Yuan disliked Junior Sister Qin, so he said, "If you have any conflicts with Junior Sister Qin, you can tell me and I will help you resolve them."
“You said that disciples within the sect should help each other. You helped me, and I want to help you too.”
Wei Yuan then realized that Yu Tang had completely missed the point of his anger!
He actually wanted to set me up with that Junior Sister Qin!
Moreover, Wei Yuan realized that Yu Tang had never been taught how to interact with others.
She listened to him in everything.
Therefore, he continued to treat everyone else in the sect with the same attitude as he had treated Yu Tang well!
In short, no matter how you look at it, it all comes down to Wei Yuan's own fault!
He taught Yu Tang to accept, but he didn't teach him what rejection is!
Suddenly realizing what was happening, Wei Yuan's expression turned as unpleasant as if he were constipated.
He slumped to the ground, his mind filled with frustration.
He couldn't help but tap his forehead again.
Just as he was about to strike a second time, Yu Tang grabbed his hand.
"Don't hit him on the head."
He looked up and saw the person who had caused him distress holding his hand, their face filled with worry: "You said if you were going to hit my head again, I should stop you."
"If something's on your mind, tell me. I want to understand why you're angry."
Wei Yuan looked at Yu Tang helplessly, smiled bitterly, and said, "Then I have to say that my heart is full of you, and I'm only close to you because of someone else."
So I'm angry because you accepted things from others, and I'm jealous of those you helped. Do you understand?
He didn't want to be jealous, but it was his nature. Even though he had changed a lot over the years, his yandere tendencies remained.
He wanted to possess it all to himself, and he wanted his master to treat him differently from others.
She just didn't want her master to accept things from other people; she just wanted to occupy the most important place in Yu Tang's heart.
Instead of being on the same level as these junior students!
Yu Tang stared at him blankly, frowning as she pondered for a long time.
Just when Wei Yuan was about to give up hope on his logic, he suddenly heard Yu Tang say something.
"I understand..."
Yu Tang held the sachet and looked earnestly at his junior brother in front of him: "I will return the sachet to Junior Sister Qin. I can also guarantee that I will not get too close to other people in the future, nor will I accept their things indiscriminately."
"Now, can you stop being angry?"

Wei Yuan was stunned when he heard Yu Tang's words.
He never expected Yu Tang to actually agree!
"Senior brother, are you serious?"
