“Who do you call a dog?! I am Xuan Wuhan, Core Disciple!” Xuan Wuhan responded to Fei Yuyan's words.

"Murid Xuan?" Fei Yuyan's eyes widened in shock when she saw Xuan Wuhan's familiar face standing right in front of her, and she continued, "What are you doing here late at night?"

“Eh? Student Fei?” Xuan Wuhan's eyes also widened in shock as he looked at the familiar face.

He then looked at the building number to make sure that he was in the right place. However, he suddenly recalled that they were currently in the Outer Court. Even if this was not the Yuan building, what was a Core Disciple like Fei Yuyan doing here?

"You ... This is Student Yuan's house, right?" Xuan Wuhan decided to ask him.

Fei Yuyan immediately began to break out in cold sweat, and she looked at Xuan Wuhan with a nervous expression on her face, clearly hesitating to tell the truth. However, since Xuan Wuhan mentioned Yuan's name, Xuan Wuhan was clearly related to him in one way or another so there was no way he could lie in this situation.

“Y-Yes, this is the home of Yuan” Disciple Fei Yuyan replied after a moment of awkward silence.

“”

After another awkward silence, Xuan Wuhan spoke, “J-If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing at the other disciple's house so late at night? And a male student also”

However, Fei Yuyan did not answer her question and instead asked, “A-I can ask you the same thing Why are you looking for Disciple Yuan so late at 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 want to see how he is in the sect now that I return. ”

"What's? You are 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.

“I-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 tried to figure out his background, but I can only assume that he comes from one of the Four Great Families” Fei Yuyan sighed.

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

“Eh? You mean she's not?” Fei Yuyan raised her eyebrows, looking slightly suspicious of Xuan Wuahan's reaction.

“A-I didn't tell you anything! After all, I had promised him that I would not reveal his identity to anyone! If you are very curious, why don't you ask her yourself?” Xuan Wuhan decided to play the ‘ini secret’ card, barely escaping the hole he dug himself.

“Hmmm” Fei Yuyan narrowed her eyes at Xuan Wuhan before shaking her head a moment later and saying, “By the way, I don't have the time or energy to comfort you right now. If you're looking for Disciple Yuan, he's 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 feet stopped the door from closing.

“Wait a minute, I've answered your question, but you still haven't answered my question. What are you” Core Disciple doing in Yuan's current residence? Don't tell me you're gonna stay here?”

“Why is it important? It's none of your business what I did with the other students. But if answering your question will make you leave then yes, I am currently staying at the Disciple Yuan's house for the time being.

“Now if you don't have anything else, please go. I'd like to go back to bed and sleep, something you disturb with your rude knock, ” Fei Yuyan said as she tried to close the door again.

However, Xuan Wuhan refused to move his legs, preventing Fei Yuyan from closing the door on him.

“What's your problem, Disciple Xuan? You may be the granddaughter of the Grand Elder, but even you have to follow the sect rules, and what you are doing now is clearly in violation of the sect rules. ”

"What sect rules did I break, exactly?" Xuan Wuhan shamelessly asked him.

"You ..." Fei Yuyan fell silent. Unlike Yuan, he did not memorize the rule book, therefore why he could not answer Xuan Wuhan's question.

"How about this? To make sure you don't defile my innocent friend, I will also stay in this house just in case.” Xuan Wuhuan suddenly suggested,

“D-Defile?! How dare you! Who do you think I am?! Why do I defile anyone ?! ” Excited Fei Yuyan. "And what are you, guard dog ?!"

“You're acting very suspicious, Disciple Fei. Why don't you tell me why you're here if you're not hiding anything? ” Xuan Wuhan said with narrowed eyes.

"Because of me .." Fei Yuyan rubbed her eyes and sighed.

“Alright, I'll tell you. Would you leave me alone if I did that?

"Of course .." Xuan Wuhan nodded.

Fei Yuyan took a deep breath before explaining to Xuan Wuhan about the zither competition and Yuan being his match, hence why he stayed at his home” so that they could train more efficiently.

Xuan Wuhan fell silent after learning of the situation, even feeling somewhat guilty for his behavior.

"I-I'm sorry for misunderstanding the situation, but if it's just like this, why are you trying to hide it like you did something immoral?" Xuan Wuhan said afterwards.

“I don't know” said Fei Yuyan. “By the way, I'm too tired, and I still have practice tomorrow with Disciple Yuan. I'm gonna go to bed. Good bye."

“T-Wait a minute! One more thing!" Xuan Wuhan quickly said.

"What's that?" Fei Yuyan looked at him with a tired expression.

"Can I come tomorrow and see you two practicing?" Xuan Wuhan asked.

“Do whatever you want as long as it doesn't interfere with our practice” Fei Yuyan said before closing the door, leaving Xuan Wuhan standing outside with a confused expression on her face.
