The Way of the Sword (BL) - Chapter 121

However, the next day Hong Yu looked as if he had gone into a psychotic break and could barely move, staying in a fetal position for a few days. Until Yun San had finally found some herbs that could help Hong Yu regain his health for a moment.

Long enough for him to take other calming remedies. The trip back looked like they had come back from some wake, the silence between them quite heavy.

Hong Yu declined to say what happened in that cave, even when the sect’s doctors commented to Master Han Yie about the condition of his disciple’s body. Hong Yu didn’t say a word and Master Han Yie didn’t have the heart to force him to say anything.

Yun San didn’t say anything either, even when Master Han Yie had nearly beaten him, to tell the truth. It’s not as if doctors couldn’t detect its essence and its Heavenly Qi in Hong Yu’s body, of course, that Master Han Yie and the others could only think the worst.

Fortunately, Master Chao (Master of Zhong Liang) prevented Master Han Yie from doing anything more radical. In the end, doctors found traces of the aphrodisiac that remained in Hong Yu’s dantin and so many of the doubts were cleared up, as this kind of potent “poison” could not have come from Yun San.

However, Master Han Yie asked Yun San to use the globe of truth, which could read his mind… Well, the truth was as ugly as Master Han Yie’s imagination. However, how could he blame his third disciple for saving the life of his fourth disciple, even if the means were so shameful?

Months later the organization that caused this whole disaster was destroyed by Grandmaster Zhang, scaring the whole cultivation world, for no one knew why such a radical attitude eliminated a complete organization!

The Heavenly Sword Sect has never commented on this subject.

Yun San felt terribly guilty about everything that happened, even though he had no choice at the moment. As he would feel guilty about all this and also felt guilty about Hong Yu’s feelings towards him.

Just because they did this and that due to the terrible circumstances didn’t mean that Yun San corresponded to Hong Yu’s feelings, nor did it mean that he had a right to play with the feelings of this junior brother.

So he was honest with Hong Yu, but this junior brother pretended that nothing had happened. Yun San can only follow the song that Hong Yu sang to him and others.

But from that day on, Hong Yu was never the same again.

Yun San already suspected before Hong Yu was doing very bad things, but from that day it was increasingly evident that there was something wrong with Hong Yu’s character, as if he had become someone else.

Only Master Han Yie did not see this radical transformation of Hong Yu’s personality. Of course, it may be because the master has been busy searching for his missing friends across the continent, or because he is worried about something Yun San couldn’t even imagine. It could also be that the master attributed to the trauma of the aphrodisiac the radical change of personality.

The only thing that hadn’t changed in Hong Yu was his burning eyes when they were alone. Hong Yu’s mask was very good and he really showed Yun San a certain disdain in front of the others… Well, at least the whole sect thinks their relationship is just a rivalry.

Yun San pretended not to see Hong Yu’s feelings that seemed to increase every day, at least the desire in Hong Yu’s eyes was becoming more and more visible.

Hong Yu saw Yun San enter his meditative state, so after contemplating his face, every beautiful feature of his face, his slightly fierce lips, his sword eyebrows, and his strong chin, Hong Yu sighed and got up from where he was, Going to the door.

“Where are you going?” Asked Yun San suddenly as Hong Yu opened the door.

“I don’t think that’s any of your business,” said Hong Yu arrogantly with a little petulance.

Yun San stared into that handsome, sassy face as he remembered that same tear-covered, pale face.

“Do not look at me like that! You know I hate it when you look at me with pity! You don’t have that right! “Said Hong Yu fiercely. The mask falling like a stone into the lake, rippling the feelings of both men.

“En. I don’t have that right, “Yun San said very softly, making Hong Yu even angrier and in a moment he literally threw himself at Yun San.

The two began to fight with random punches and blows, but there was too much force in each of their actions, it was not like a light fight between fellow disciples of the same sect.

Hong Yu’s resistance was often worse than Yun San’s resistance, so he was panting, holding Yun San’s clothing, while tears streamed down his handsome face.

“Hong Yu…” Yun San’s voice was deep and calm. Hong Yu clung to Yun San’s body and stood there hugging this martial elder brother, who he stubbornly loved.

Yun San didn’t react for a few moments before letting himself hug and stand like a beautiful jade statue.

Time passed very slowly for Yun San.

Then suddenly Hong Yu pulls away from Yun San’s body and he turns to leave the room. Yun San grabs Hong Yu’s wrist to try to stop him from coming out with the look of a beating.

Which was quite true, by the way.

However, Hong Yu easily got rid of Yun San’s grip, which did not surprise him, as the aura around Hong Yu had changed, he felt in his heart that this person was not Hong Yu.

“Hong Yu…” Yun San called once again only a little louder. However, there was no answer, just a cold, murderous look in his direction.

There was proof that the one looking at him wasn’t Hong Yu who was just crying.

“It’s you again…” said Yun San with a heavy heart when “Hong Yu” smirked at him with malice.

“Yes, it’s me again,” said Hong Yu in a coquettish voice, but the clear eyes were cold as the blade of a sword.

Yun San was still a few minutes staring at the door closing where “Hong Yu” had come out.

Once Yun San tried to tell the truth to Master Han Yie, but that “Hong Yu” had first-class acting and whatever soul possessed the original Hong Yu, the usual means of discovering an invading soul did not work in this person.

What could Yun San do?

Why did the nightmare in this cave seem to continue every day?

Who could he turn to?

Could Yun San just move on with his life and pretend nothing unusual was going on?

Yun San in the end just closed his eyes and cultivated again, after all, at that moment there was only one way he could see to help Hong Yu… To become strong, so strong that he would crush this invading soul and free Hong Yu… To finally end this nightmare that has been going on for three years.

Already Hong Yu walked quietly down the hallway of the inn as if Yun San’s angry glances and the small battle of wills between them had never happened. He wore light and slightly provocative clothes, too bad that there was no one in the hallway to see him acting all coquettish.

The clothes covered the soft silver glow that lay between Hong Yu’s slender legs, on the inside of his thigh was a tattoo in the shape of a locket with an ancient rune drawn in the “Avidity” center. The rune was painted a cherry red paint, which looked like every brushstroke was inlaid with sensuality and finesse.

“Night is just a child,” Hong Yu whispered as she smiled flirtatiously as she stared out at the starry sky.
