Yu Tang didn't understand why he had suddenly become so dull, so she said bluntly, "I have no reason to lie to you."
“I helped them because you said we should be kind to others, and you also said that disciples within the sect should help each other.”
“I didn’t mind that they treated me badly before, and I’m happy that they’re treating me well now.”
"However, if I get too close to them and it makes you unhappy, then I will try to keep my distance from them."
He smiled at Wei Yuan, reached out and ruffled Wei Yuan's hair, and said, "So, if you promise I won't be angry, I can keep what I just said."
After saying that, a while later, Yu Tang noticed that his handsome junior brother's eyes had turned red.
His mouth was pursed, and he had an expression of being so moved that he was about to cry.
Before he could say anything more, Wei Yuan gave him a bear hug.
The two were squatting on the ground when Wei Yuan rushed over, causing Yu Tang to lose his balance and fall to the ground with a thud.
The robes were wrapped around each other and overlapped.
I promise you!
Wei Yuan almost cheered, saying, "I'm not only not angry now, I'm super happy!"
"Senior brother, I really, really, really like you!"
Yu Tang didn't mind him rushing up to her like that. Instead, she patted Wei Yuan on the back and replied as usual, "I like you too."
But after hugging for a while, Wei Yuan still didn't let go.
He asked in confusion, "Junior Brother?"
Receiving no response, he moved his leg slightly, which elicited a suppressed gasp from Wei Yuan.
He froze instantly.
Wei Yuan was now essentially sitting on him, and both of them could feel the changes in his body.
An awkward situation ensued.
The room was so quiet you could almost hear them breathing.
Wei Yuan lay on Yu Tang, struggling to suppress the various censored thoughts that were running through his mind. It took a lot of determination for him to get up and say, "Sorry, Senior Brother."
Then, he stormed out the door and fled in panic.
Yu Tang was left alone sitting on the ground, frowning in deep thought.
After a long while, he suddenly realized.
"So even a junior brother who's as beautiful as a fairy has these kinds of troubles."
As for Wei Yuan, he thought that his perverted thoughts had finally been exposed and that Yu Tang would hate him.
For the next few days, he avoided Yu Tang.
They didn't even care whether Yu Tang had returned the sachet to Junior Sister Qin.
When attending the sect's major lectures, he would deliberately sit far away from Yu Tang.
Upon returning to Wushang Peak, she would place the prepared meal in Yu Tang's room, completely avoiding close contact with Yu Tang.
As time went on, even the slow-witted Yu Tang eventually noticed the problem.
He couldn't help but feel strange.
He clearly promised his junior brother he wouldn't get close to those people anymore, and he even returned the sachet, learning to keep his distance from other disciples. So why is Wei Yuan still ignoring him?
Did he do something wrong again?
After thinking it over and over but still not coming up with a solution, Yu Tang decided to ask Wei Yuan himself.
His plan was to ambush Wei Yuan when he went to the back mountain to take a bath.
In this way, the junior brother, who has no clothes, can't run away even if he wants to, and can communicate with him honestly.
Having made up his mind, under the cover of night, Yu Tang quietly climbed up the large rock behind the hot spring. In the misty air, he saw his junior brother with waist-length black hair, a pale body, and well-proportioned muscles. Water droplets rolled down his curves. Looking up at his face, he was like an immortal descending to earth, dazzlingly handsome.
But the next moment, the immortal closed his eyes and leaned back against the pool wall.
Within a few breaths, a captivating, low, husky voice escaped from his thin lips.
Echoing the sound of the flowing water, it burned deep into Yu Tang's heart.
He clearly heard what Wei Yuan was shouting.
"Senior brother..."

Wei Yuan did it on purpose.
Even with his eyes closed, he knew Yu Tang was on the rock.
Now, he's doing this, and the two words he utters aren't even "Master."
If it were his senior, he would know that he was acting today.
In this world, his abilities are equivalent to those of "Ba Ge," so how could he not know that Yu Tang was following him?
At first, he tried to avoid Yu Tang. But later he realized that Yu Tang didn't seem to mind what happened that day.
Instead, it seemed like she wanted to figure out why she was avoiding him, so she kept trying to find ways to block him.
Therefore, Wei Yuan devised a plan to turn the tables on Wei Yuan.
The fish was led to its own doorstep.
Then, by using something like this to break the ice, she'll make Yu Tang understand that she has this kind of desire for him...
Yu Tang stared in disbelief, his cheeks inexplicably starting to heat up.
He occasionally experiences this in the morning, and he washes it with cool water, after which it subsides on its own.
So he assumed that Wei Yuan would be like him, taking a cold shower when faced with such troubles.
But clearly, this handsome junior brother used a different method to solve this problem.
Just looking at him made Yu Tang wish he could bury his head in the ground.
He did indeed start looking for a crack in the ground, and even forgot that he was supposed to communicate and negotiate with Wei Yuan.
Unable to find a crack in the ground, he covered his face with both hands, curled up, and lay on a large rock.
But since he has already said that this was all a trap set by Wei Yuan, how could Wei Yuan possibly let him go?
The person who had been sitting with their eyes closed in the hot spring quietly opened them, picked up a stone from the edge of the pool, and with a whoosh, hit the tree branch above Yu Tang's head. Yu Tang was startled, slipped, and fell straight into the hot spring pool!
"Senior brother?!" Wei Yuan exclaimed in feigned panic, but his actions, as if prepared in advance, caught Yu Tang, who had fallen into the pool.
Yu Tang thought he was about to smash into a rock at the bottom of the hot spring, and nervously closed his eyes. But the expected pain didn't come. When he reached out, he touched Wei Yuan's firm, fair chest...
She opened her eyes with a snap, and was met with Wei Yuan's handsome face, which was very close to hers.
Yu Tang stammered instantly, quickly removing his hand from Wei Yuan's chest and shrinking back inside: "Junior Brother, I, I didn't mean to peek, I was just passing by!"
"Really?" Wei Yuan released Yu Tang, allowing him to kneel in the water, but his hands were still wrapped around the boy's waist. He asked, "Senior brother, didn't I tell you? You start to stutter whenever you lie."
The two were in a rather close position, causing Yu Tang to unconsciously widen his eyes.
He tried to back away, but his waist was held tightly, which earned him a soft gasp from Wei Yuan.
His whole body stiffened instantly.
"I……"
His face, still damp with water droplets, was slightly flushed. "Let me go first."
Wei Yuan, being thick-skinned, felt no embarrassment. On the contrary, he was now enjoying teasing Yu Tang, and his mind was filled with mischievous thoughts.
He asked Yu Tang, "If I let you go, will you tell the truth?"
"meeting……"
After Wei Yuan released him, Yu Tang fell backward, creating distance between himself and his handsome junior brother.
She didn't dare look at Wei Yuan, and said, "I came to ask you why you've been avoiding me these past few days?"
“I have managed to keep my distance from others and returned the sachet.”
"So, I guessed that I must have done something wrong again to make you angry..."
"I'm not angry." This was the first time Wei Yuan had seen his master so shy. He couldn't get enough of looking at him, and his greedy gaze lingered on Yu Tang, almost burning a hole in him.
He struggled to maintain a serious demeanor and said, "It's just that I encountered new problems when facing you."
That's why I've been avoiding you.
Yu Tang asked in confusion, "What new problem?"
Wei Yuan raised an eyebrow, reached out a hand to grasp Yu Tang's hand, and pointed downwards.
Facing Yu Tang's shocked gaze, he revealed a very handsome smile and said.
"That's the problem. Didn't you sense it yourself, Senior Brother?"

"Wait!" Yu Tang felt the hand that Wei Yuan was holding was burning hot, and his whole body felt like it was about to catch fire.
He tried to keep his mind clear and said to Wei Yuan, "Let me think about it carefully."
"You mean you'd act like this if you saw me?"
Yu Tang truly maintained a thirst for knowledge when asking Wei Yuan questions.
Although the occasion wasn't quite right, since he was already there, he couldn't let the opportunity slip by.
If there's a problem, it's best to resolve it quickly.
He didn't want to see Wei Yuan avoiding him anymore.
