Chapter 120: Dark Past (1)

While Zhong Liang is being scolded by his uncle Ning, inside the room shared by Yun San and Hong Yu, the two disciples of the same master were facing each other with a dark temper. 

"Big brother, what do you mean by your words?" Asked Hong Yu visibly annoyed, the expression on his handsome face gave a dark aura to this young 18-year-old cultivator.

"You understand what I meant! Hong Yu, what are you up to? "Yun San asked visibly angry, even the expression on his face looked a little scary. Given the already fierce features on his face, that kind of expression certainly frightened the children.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Hong Yu said softly, but I couldn't hide a slight irritation shining in his clear eyes. 

Yun San took a deep breath and decided to ignore Hong Yu, he was not going to fight this shameless snake who is this junior disciple. Other people may be deceived by the acts of Hong Yu and the prestige of good-boy and stellar genius within the Celestial Sword Sect, but Yun San had been deceived before by such an act so he saw it all very clearly. 

Hong Yu hid his relief to see his older martial brother ignoring him. Yun San went behind the bath screen, he began to take off his clothes, but never took his space ring from his finger. The clothes fell slowly, almost as a provocation to Hong Yu. 

Sure, Yun San was just throwing his clothes on the floor to dispel the anger in his heart, but for Hong Yu, it was like adding several needles to his heart.

Yun San could feel Hong Yu's burning gaze but pretended not to know, it was already common. Hong Yu struggled to look down at the tray that was holding his dinner.

"I need to control myself… I can't lose control like last time… This damn locket! Damn Tian-Fu lab! "Hong Yu thought as he closed his eyes and crossed his legs to meditate to calm his heart. 

Yun San finished his bath and dressed properly, not wanting to provoke this junior disciple Hong. When he came out from behind the screen he could only see Hong Yu meditating.

Hong Yu is a handsome young man, this could not be denied, the features of his face were elegant and his clear eyes gave a soft aura, in addition to his slender and flexible body, he could impersonate a woman of fine features if he wanted to. 

Yun San spent a little time contemplating this beautiful and deceptive face of Hong Yu. He could remember clearly like it was yesterday when he first saw Hong Yu. 

Hong Yu can now be considered a refined beauty, but when Yun San met him, Hong Yu was only 12 years old and small and thin, of course, still had the face of a little fairy. 

Yun San was 14 years old when his master Han Yie introduced Hong Yu as his fourth official disciple and brought the child to his mountain. Hong Yu was shy and a little fearful, which was quite common after all, was a 12 year old and was in a strange place. 

Of course, Yun San was very sympathetic to little Hong Yu and tried to be a good big brother. Yun San sighed as he remembered the past, he wondered when the good and kind Hong Yu became a calculating person with various schemes in his heart. 

Hong Yu stepped out of his meditative state and faced Yun San who was eating his dinner silently, so he also ate his dinner. The room was quiet, only the sound of chopsticks was heard throughout the room, the silence seemed a bit oppressive. 

Yun San quickly finished his dinner and went to meditate, he didn't say a word with Hong Yu. He knew he would lose his temper if he had to hear the lying words of this junior disciple.

People thought he and Hong Yu had a rivalry for resources on Master Han Yie's mountain. Of course, Hong Yu was at an advantage as he became a Master's mountain manager. 

However, the truth is that Yun San was a person who fought for justice and hated these schemes and evil things, Hong Yu was someone who purposely got into schemes and Yun San suspected that this junior disciple did evil things too.

So it was as clear as the day that Yun San would oppose Hong Yu at all. Only that wouldn't be enough to make them both so famous for their almost bloody rivalry. When Hong Yu was 15 and Yun San was 17, they went on a mission to an unfamiliar land and spent a month there. 

Who knew Hong Yu corrupts Yun San in that place?

It was not Hong Yu's intention, who could imagine that the enemy would use these dirty means to weaken a young Realms Foundation cultivator?

A powerful aphrodisiac that could kill a cultivator who had a body from the Soul Rising Realms stage, much less a Realms Foundation cultivator!

Yes, the old aphrodisiac trick. 

Of course, because of the aphrodisiac, Hong Yu's true feelings were exposed, who would think that Hong Yu loved Yun San so deeply? Not even Yun San suspected it! 

Well, things developed to a point where Hong Yu started to cut his whole body out of the heat as if he wanted to rip his skin out so that the heat would disappear. Unfortunately, Yun San had no medicine that was of the Rising Soul Realms level for such a case. 

Hong Yu cried and fought Yun San to get cut until Hong Yu began begging Yun San to kill him quickly. Yun San tried to knock out Hong Yu, but the body aches were too strong so he remains passed out. 

Moments later the enemies appeared and well the battle was not pretty, Yun San almost died, but managed to prevail against the enemy. His body, covered in the blood of the enemies, eventually got the information out of this demon aphrodisiac.

There is no cure.

It was an aphrodisiac that was still being tested by alchemists, something like a semi-finished product, so there was no cure yet. Either if it consumed the sex act or the cultivator could die, of course, if there were someone above the Immortal Realms cultivation then it would be possible to save the person. 

Yun San and Hong Yu were a month away from the Celestial Sword Sect, it was not possible to teleport Hong Yu with the talismans since his soul was unstable.

The communication stones were not working, it was not known if it was due to some mineral in the region or if it was the distance that caused the problem. 

What to do?

Hong Yu once again begged to die, he did not want to force Yun San to do these sexual things to him, of course, he had already been well tied by Yun San not to mutilate himself anymore. 

The effect of the aphrodisiac was progressive, each day was like hell to Hong Yu, as if there was a constant fire burning his skin and even the veins of his cultivation. 

Yun San could only close his mouth and carry Hong Yu on his back to bring his junior disciple to the sect. Stopping now and then to use ointments that heal the cuts and bruises that Hong Yu self-inflicted. 

But the weather was so treacherous, and as all the cultivators fought against the sky, why would the sky be merciful to the cultivators?

A storm formed in that region. 

Flying in swords was impossible… Walking was impossible… There was no one to ask for help. 

The situation was so desperate that even the talismans of communication were useless as if this region were forgotten by the gods and demons! 

Then in an abandoned cave, which was a former nest of a magic beast, Yun San took Hong Yu to protect himself from the storm. 

Yun San didn't know how Hong Yu broke free in the darkest hour of the storm and tried to commit suicide in front of him, how could he let his junior brother do it? 

What's funny and even exciting about a plot with the aphrodisiac was actually very scary and full of endless anguish for these two young people. 

The storm lasted all night, just as Hong Yu and Yun San stayed together for all that time. There were no feelings, kindness was not needed and was not welcome at that time, Hong Yu looked like a desperate animal who was finally sated and passed out after all. 

Yun San did not sleep all the time Hong Yu was unconscious, he watched the sleepy, exhausted face of this junior brother. He couldn't look at the marks on Hong Yu's body, he felt tremendous shame and anger at himself. 

Yun San had never felt so weak and so small before the will of heaven, before his enemies ... The arrogance of his youth had died there in that cave, along with Hong Yu's innocence.
