99: Chapter 99 The Tragic Young Master's Nobleman 21

After speaking, he cautiously drew closer, his eyes half-closed, and gently pressed a kiss onto Lu Zhan's cheek.

Lu Zhan showed no sign of rejection; his expression was gentle, and a hint of indulgence and doting affection flickered in his eyes. He allowed Mo Yun to do as he pleased, then reached out and lightly draped an arm over Mo Yun's shoulder, taking the initiative to pull him into an embrace.

Mo Yun hugged him back gently, nuzzling his head against Lu Zhan's chest like a satisfied little kitten.

Lu Zhan softly stroked the back of the person in his arms, speaking slowly in a soothing yet firm tone.

"In the days to come, Senior Brother will always be with you. Be a bit better behaved; don't make me suffer like this or worry so much again!"

Full of attachment, Mo Yun tightly hugged Lu Zhan's waist and responded with a solemn and serious tone, as if making a vow.

"Senior Brother, rest assured, I will definitely be good!"

Lu Zhan gave a low hum of acknowledgement and tightened his embrace slightly.

Mo Yun felt his heart grow increasingly sweet. It was rare for his Senior Brother to be so soft-hearted and cherish him so much; with such a perfect opportunity before him, Mo Yun couldn't suppress the restless urge in his heart and couldn't help but say tentatively.

"Senior Brother, can I go back to the Yunxiao Sect with you?"

After saying it, he seemed to realize something and hurriedly added.

"Senior Brother, don't worry, I will never implicate you or the Yunxiao Sect. You've seen my disguise; I definitely won't let anyone see through it."

"If an accident really occurs and I am discovered, I will take full responsibility. Even if I have to die, I will never let you be tainted by even a speck of filth because of me."

Mo Yun's humility and cautiousness caused an indescribable feeling to well up in Lu Zhan's heart—a bit of bitterness and a touch of undeniable pain.

Placing his hand on the back of Mo Yun's neck, Lu Zhan lowered his head and tenderly kissed Mo Yun's forehead.

Feeling the warmth on his forehead, Mo Yun hurriedly looked up at Lu Zhan. His eyes were full of excitement and a bit of surprise; this was the first time Senior Brother had initiated a kiss.

Lu Zhan's eyes were full of pity and a hint of doting as he looked at Mo Yun tenderly and spoke slowly.

"Mo Yun, you don't need to be like this. Before entering the Demon Realm, I already laid my cards on the table with the major Sects. Everyone now knows about our relationship, so from now on, there's no need to hide anything."

"I have never cared about those empty titles. Previously, I was only afraid of involving Revered Master and the Yunxiao Sect, but when something happened to you and your life was uncertain, I realized I could no longer care about so much."

"Revered Master didn't say a single word of reproach, and the higher-ups of the various Sects have tacitly accepted it. As for my trip to the Demon Realm, the first goal was to find you, which is done; the second is to kill the new Demon Sovereign to silence the gossiping mouths of the world."

As the words fell, Mo Yun looked at Lu Zhan with a face full of disbelief. His heart shook, his eyes widened, and his lips trembled slightly. It took a long time for him to find his voice.

"Senior Brother, you... is everything you said true?"

Lu Zhan's emotions remained steady as he looked at him tenderly and nodded gently.

Mo Yun's eyes instantly turned red, and tears welled up. He threw himself into Lu Zhan's arms and said between sobs.

"Senior Brother, why are you so good to me? I am so lowly, with such filthy blood flowing in me, yet I rely on your doting and favoritism to test you and deceive you time and again."

Noticing the clothes on his chest becoming damp, Lu Zhan raised his hand to gently pat Mo Yun's back, soothing him softly.

"Mo Yun, actually, from the first day I met you, I knew about the Demon Race lineage in your body."

"When we first met, I felt admiration for you, and also a bit of pity. Despite being mired in the mud for so long, you possessed a heart of pure goodness."

"Back then, I felt you shouldn't stay there, so I brought you back to keep you by my side and teach you carefully. And you have never disappointed me; the matter of Bloodline was never your fault."

As the words fell, Mo Yun slowly raised his head. Traces of tears remained on his face, and his eyes were wet and misty as he stared blankly at Lu Zhan.

His Senior Brother had known everything from the very beginning, yet he still disregarded his reputation to bring him back to the Yunxiao Sect. If such a thing were exposed, Mo Yun didn't dare imagine what a difficult situation his Senior Brother would have fallen into.

Could he really be worthy of such a wonderful Senior Brother?

"Senior Brother, I feel like I'm so bad. I'm not worthy of the kindness you've given me. Someone like me has nothing that can match up to you!"

Lu Zhan's brow furrowed slightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of irritation.

"Mo Yun, I didn't say these things to make you think that way. I want you to understand that you are very good; it has been that way from the start, and I have always been very satisfied with you."

"In the world of feelings, there is no such thing as being worthy or not. No matter how good others are, it has nothing to do with me. They are not you, and I only like you. Do you hear me clearly?"

When these extremely serious words reached his ears, Mo Yun felt like a drowning man who had been suddenly pulled out of the water.

Various emotions intertwined and tangled in his heart, ultimately leaving behind only a sense of overwhelming joy and happiness.

How lucky he was to meet his Senior Brother in his time of distress, and what kind of blessing must he have received to obtain such a pure and absolute affection from him!

"Senior Brother, I understand. I really love you so much!"

Lu Zhan nodded slightly, his face incredibly gentle, saying nothing more.

At the same time, 009's habitually cheerful voice rang out in Lu Zhan's mind.

"host, the blackening value of the Male Protagonist Mo Yun has been completely eliminated. The mission is a success. Do you want to leave the Small World now?"

Lu Zhan was somewhat surprised; the progress of this mission's completion was truly unexpected. A hint of a smile unconsciously colored his eyes.

This child, Mo Yun, really didn't disappoint him! Although he was quite extreme and radical, at his core, he was still that considerate little sweetheart. Lu Zhan couldn't help but feel a sense of reluctance and tenderness.

"No, 009. I quite like this child Mo Yun, and I want to accompany him for a while. You go into stealth mode."

Lu Zhan looked down at the person buried in his arms and answered without any hesitation.

After a moment, Mo Yun's emotions had completely calmed down, and he raised his head slightly to look at Lu Zhan.

"Senior Brother, I heard you mention just now that you came to the Demon Realm also intending to kill the new Demon Sovereign, is that right?"

Lu Zhan's expression was warm and refined as he nodded with a relaxed posture.

"Senior Brother, why don't you back me up and let me try? That way, you can see what I'm capable of."

There was a hint of showing off in his words, as if seeking praise.

"Can you do it? You were injured so severely by him before."

Lu Zhan raised an eyebrow slightly, teasing him with a smile in his eyes.

Hearing those words, a flush of red appeared on Mo Yun's face, along with the embarrassment of having his shortcomings exposed.

"Senior Brother, I was letting him win on purpose. Just watch my performance this time. If I can't do it, don't I still have you?"
