92: Chapter 92 The Tragic Young Master's Nobleman 14

The moment Lu Zhan's consciousness gradually cleared, he clearly sensed the warm presence in his embrace; it was Mo Yun.

He lowered his gaze to stare, only to see traces of exhaustion still lingering on Mo Yun's face, which caused a surge of inexplicable heartache in his heart.

Scenes from the past surged through Lu Zhan's mind like a tidal wave, and everything that happened yesterday was branded onto his heart like a hot iron, causing his cold, aloof face to flush with a faint blush due to these complicated feelings.

He had never anticipated such entanglements with Mo Yun, and this sudden turn of events left him momentarily lost and bewildered.

In his heart, Mo Yun was unique; he had always pampered and indulged him, but this did not mean they should have stepped into such a situation.

In an instant, he no longer knew what attitude to adopt when facing this Junior Brother whom he had once meticulously taught for many years.

Lu Zhan's body trembled slightly, his fingers lightly touching his brow, that subtle movement seemingly stirring the thousands of thoughts deep within his heart.

At this moment, he felt a splitting headache, and frustration surged into his heart like a tide.

And this slight movement actually woke the sleeping Mo Yun.

Mo Yun's eyelids fluttered slowly, and then he opened his eyes. His handsome, devilishly attractive face was full of obedience and docility, and his red eyes, mixed with a hint of unease and anticipation, gazed straight at Lu Zhan.

"Senior Brother, I just didn't want you to feel uncomfortable yesterday. Please don't drive me away, okay?"

His voice carried a trace of trembling, like a flower swaying in the wind, evoking pity.

Lu Zhan gently pushed Mo Yun away a little, then slowly rose and elegantly put on his robes.

His gaze was incredibly earnest as he stared at Mo Yun and said softly.

"Mo Yun, what happened yesterday was just an accident; it was not our intention. Let it pass with the wind."

"The Heavenly Demon Loose Practitioner has escaped and will surely spread word of your presence in the Human Realm. It is no longer safe for you to stay here; you should return to your Demon Realm."

These words struck Mo Yun's heart like a heavy hammer, his face instantly turning as pale as paper, his eyes filled with deep sorrow and pleading.

"Senior Brother, I know that in my current state, I am not worthy of you. Yesterday was also me taking advantage of your vulnerability. You can punish me however you like, just please don't drive me away. I want to stay by your side."

Mo Yun's hands trembled slightly as he tightly clutched the hem of Lu Zhan's robe.

"Mo Yun, do not let your imagination run wild; I have no other meaning. You are currently staying in the Human Realm alone, which is no different from being in a dangerous dragon's den. If you are not careful, your life will be at risk."

Lu Zhan's voice carried a hint of helplessness and heartache.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yun's expression softened slightly, his eager gaze fixed tightly on Lu Zhan, as if longing to find a sliver of comfort in his eyes.

"Senior Brother, are you really asking me to return to the Demon Realm only because you are worried about my safety?"

"What else could it be for?"

Lu Zhan's answer was without hesitation, exceptionally firm, as if it also revealed a hint of complicated emotion.

All the pain in Mo Yun's heart was immediately soothed, and a glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Senior Brother, even now, you do not loathe me, nor do you blame me, right?"

His words carried a cautious test and anticipation.

"Senior Brother has said it before: as long as you do not do evil, in my heart, you will always be the Junior Brother Mo Yun of the past."

A sense of heartache welled up in Lu Zhan's heart involuntarily. His expression softened, and as usual, he raised his hand to gently stroke the top of Mo Yun's head to comfort him.

His red eyes moistened involuntarily, and a clear tear slid from the corner of his eye. Mo Yun's emotions surged, and he hugged Lu Zhan tightly, burying his head in the crook of Lu Zhan's neck. His Senior Brother was really too good and too gentle!

"Senior Brother, only you in this world treat me this way, but I don't want to just be your Junior Brother. Senior Brother, I really love you so much; I want to stay by your side for a lifetime."

Lu Zhan was astonished, his eyes filled with disbelief, and he looked at Mo Yun with a sharp gaze, as if trying to see right through him.

"You love me? Since when?"

Mo Yun looked up. Although there was a hint of timidity on his handsome face, there was more determination, and he looked at Lu Zhan with burning eyes.

"Mo Yun has loved Senior Brother for a very, very long time. From the moment Senior Brother took me by your side, indulged and cherished me, and taught me with care, I have been unable to extricate myself and have kept Senior Brother in my heart."

As these sincere and passionate words reached his ears, ripples inevitably stirred in Lu Zhan's heart, but they were forcibly suppressed, and he calmly advised.

"Mo Yun, this is wrong. We are both men; it should not be like this. Perhaps you are simply mistaking your long-standing admiration and reliance for love."

Hearing this, Mo Yun's face was full of urgency, and he looked at Lu Zhan with an extremely earnest gaze.

"Senior Brother, love does not distinguish by gender, and there is no right or wrong. If I love, then I love. I am not a child; I can tell my own feelings apart. I truly, truly love you. Please don't deny me like this."

Lu Zhan fell silent upon hearing this. This was something he had never faced before. Reason told him he should refuse mercilessly at this moment, but his heart faintly brimmed with reluctance and heartache, making it impossible for him to be hard-hearted.

At this moment, the complicated feelings between them surged slightly, struggling, tangled, confused, and bewildered, yet unable to be completely severed.

"Senior Brother, don't be in such a hurry to refuse me. Wait for me; give me some time. I will definitely handle the affairs of the Demon Realm as soon as possible and then come back to find you. I swear, I will never let your reputation be damaged in the slightest."

Mo Yun's eyes were filled with humility and pleading, and he looked at the silent Senior Brother with a firm gaze, speaking urgently once more.

"Mo Yun, that is not what I meant, and I do not care about such empty names. What you said is too sudden; I need some time to think. Let us both calm down. You return to the Demon Realm first, and we will discuss this matter later."

Lu Zhan's inner emotions were in a chaotic mess, making it difficult to decide, and his hands unconsciously applied a little more force, slowly pushing the person away.

"Senior Brother..."

Mo Yun was filled with unwillingness and wanted to continue saying something, but was directly interrupted by Lu Zhan raising his hand. Lu Zhan's eyes were full of unquestionable firmness, without the slightest wavering.

Seeing this situation, Mo Yun could only give up for the time being. In fact, this result was already much better than he had anticipated.

Senior Brother had neither shown him disdain or loathing, nor had he used harsh words against him, nor had he laid a hand on him. After learning of his feelings, he hadn't directly and heartlessly rejected him either.

Perhaps he really should feel satisfied. At the very least, in Senior Brother's heart, he was a unique existence; Senior Brother was always so tender with him and so easily soft-hearted.

"Senior Brother, I will listen to you. I will go back. Please don't abandon me; I will handle the Heavenly Demon Loose Practitioner as soon as possible and then come back."

Mo Yun's face became gentle and obedient, his eyes filled with anticipation and pleading. He tugged at the wide sleeve of Lu Zhan's robe, acting spoiled as he usually did.

Lu Zhan nodded slightly, took out an exquisite jade pendant from his storage ring, and gently hung it on Mo Yun's waist.

"This item is a pair; they can sense each other and can also be used to communicate and transmit messages."

Mo Yun's face was instantly occupied by indescribable joy, and the love in his heart surged like a tidal wave, difficult to suppress.

"Senior Brother, thank you! I am really so happy."

Lu Zhan raised his hand and gently stroked the other's cheek, his tone so soft it seemed capable of melting a person's heart.

"Go."

Mo Yun nodded, took Lu Zhan's hand, and planted a kiss on the back of his hand, after which his figure gradually dissipated within the Immortal Cave.

Lu Zhan watched Mo Yun leave, his heart filled with mixed feelings and an indescribable sensation; he did not know whether what he had done was right or wrong.

Sigh...

Lu Zhan sighed helplessly in his heart and stopped overthinking it.

He stepped out of the Immortal Cave, circulated his spiritual power, and with a light wave of his hand, the Immortal Cave instantly vanished into ruins, and Lu Zhan's figure also slowly disappeared along with it.
