Cultivation Online

"Who are you calling a dog?! I am Xuan Wuhan, a Core Disciple!" Xuan Wuhan responded to Fei Yuyan’s words.

"Disciple Xuan?" Fei Yuyan’s eyes widened with surprise when she saw Xuan Wuhan’s familiar face standing right in front of her, and she continued, "What are you doing here so late at night?"

"Eh? Disciple Fei?" Xuan Wuhan’s eyes also widened with shock when she saw a familiar face.

She then looked at the building number to make sure that she was in the right place. However, she suddenly recalled that they were currently at the Outer Court. Even if this wasn’t Yuan’s building, what is a Core Disciple like Fei Yuyan doing here?

"You... This is Disciple Yuan’s house, right?" Xuan Wuhan decided to ask her.

Fei Yuyan immediately began sweating cold sweats, and she stared at Xuan Wuhan with a nervous look on her face, clearly hesitant to tell the truth. However, since Xuan Wuhan mentioned Yuan’s name, Xuan Wuhan is clearly related to him one way or another so there was no way she could lie in this situation.

"Y-Yes, this is Disciple Yuan’s house..." Fei Yuyan answered after a moment of awkward silence.

"..."

After another moment of awkward silence, Xuan Wuhan spoke, "I-If you don’t mind me asking, what are you doing in another disciple’s house so late at night? And a male disciple too..."

However, Fei Yuyan didn’t answer her question and instead asked, "I-I can ask you the same... Why are you looking for Disciple Yuan so late in the night? I thought you wouldn’t return to the sect until next week?"

Xuan Wuhan frowned slightly and said, "Well, my schedule has changed and I have returned now, okay? As for why I am here— I was the one who introduced Yuan to the Dragon Essence Temple. Of course, I would want to see how he’s doing in the sect now that I have returned."

"What? You were the one who brought Yuan to the sect? Does this mean you know his background?" Fei Yuyan’s eyes widened after hearing Xuan Wuhan’s words.

"T-That’s right! I know his background! I know everything about him!" Xuan Wuhan lied to Fei Yuyan without even thinking about it.

"Can you tell me? I’ve been trying to figure out his background, but I can only assume that he’s from one of the Four Great Families..." Fei Yuyan sighed.

"F-Four Great Families? Yuan?" Xuan Wuhan looked at Fei Yuyan with a shocked look on her face.

"Eh? You mean he’s not?" Fei Yuyan raised her eyebrows, looking a little suspicious of Xuan Wuahan’s reaction.

"I-I am not telling you anything! After all, I’d promised him that I’d not reveal his identity to anyone! If you want to know so badly, why don’t you ask him yourself?" Xuan Wuhan decided to play the ’it’s a secret’ card, narrowly escaping the hole she’d dug herself.

"Hmmm..." Fei Yuyan narrowed her eyes at Xuan Wuhan before shaking her head a moment later and saying, "Anyway, I don’t have the time or energy to entertain you right now. If you’re looking for Disciple Yuan, he’s already retired for the night. Come back tomorrow morning."

Fei Yuyan proceeded to close the door on Xuan Wuhan’s face, but a quick reaction from Xuan Wuhan’s foot stopped the door from closing.

"Wait a second, I have answered your question, but you still haven’t answered mine. What are you— a Core Disciple doing in Yuan’s living quarters at this time? Don’t tell me you’re staying here?"

"Why does it matter? It’s none of your business what I do with another disciple. But if answering your question will make you go away then yes, I am currently staying in Disciple Yuan’s home for the time being."

Xuan Wuhan gritted her teeth at Fei Yuyan. Although there has been no enmity between the two of them before today, their current situation has definitely lowered their opinions of each other.

"Now if you don’t have anything else, please go away. I would like to get back into my bed and sleep, something you disturbed with your rude knocking," Fei Yuyan said as she tried to close the door again.

However, Xuan Wuhan refused to move her foot, blocking Fei Yuyan from closing the door on her.

"What is your problem, Disciple Xuan? You may be the Grand Elder’s granddaughter, but even you have to follow the sect rules, and what you’re doing right now is definitely breaking the sect rules."

"What sect rule am I breaking, exactly?" Xuan Wuhan shamelessly asked her.

"You..." Fei Yuyan was speechless. Unlike Yuan, she did not memorize the rulebook, hence why she could not answer Xuan Wuhan’s question.

"How about this? To make sure you’re not defiling my innocent friend, I’ll also stay in this house to keep watch." Xuan Wuhuan suddenly suggested,

"D-Defile?! H-How dare you! Who do you think I am?! Why would I defile anyone?!" Fei Yuyan exclaimed. "And what are you, a guard dog?!"

"You’re acting mighty suspicious, Disciple Fei. Why are you not telling me your reason for being here if you have nothing to hide?" Xuan Wuhan said with narrowed eyes.

"Because I..." Fei Yuyan rubbed her eyes and sighed.

"Fine, I’ll tell you. Will you leave me alone if I do that?"

"Of course..." Xuan Wuhan nodded.

Fei Yuyan took a deep breath before explaining to Xuan Wuhan about the zither competition and Yuan becoming her partner, hence why she’s staying over at his house— so they can practice more efficiently.

Xuan Wuhan was speechless after learning the situation, even feeling somewhat guilty for her behavior.

"I-I am sorry for misunderstanding the situation, but if it’s only something like this, why did you try to hide it like you’re doing something immoral?" Xuan Wuhan said afterward.

"I...I don’t know..." Fei Yuyan said. "Anyway, I am too tired, and I still have practice tomorrow with Disciple Yuan. I am going to sleep. Goodbye."

"W-Wait a moment! One more thing!" Xuan Wuhan quickly said.

"What is it?" Fei Yuyan looked at her with a tired expression.

"Can I come tomorrow and watch you two practice?" Xuan Wuhan asked.

"Do whatever you want as long as it doesn’t disturb our practice..." Fei Yuyan said before closing the door, leaving Xuan Wuhan standing outside with a dazed look on her face.
