Quick recap since it\u2019s been a while since the last update:\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Yu Zhen\u2019s half brother, Lin Zouwei, stole Yin Le\u2019s mini peach wood sword. Because of that, Yu Zhen\u2019s biological father, Zou Chengjing, showed up at Yin Le\u2019s school. Yu Zhen showed off a bit of his cultivation power, getting his father and half brother to apologize for the theft issue.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Office hours were not yet over, but Qiu Feiqian had already rushed home. It was obvious that she had heard about Yin Le\u2019s incident from Weng Xiping.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWhy are you hiding? Is there any use in hiding? Show me your arm, let me see it!\u201d Frowning, anxious and angry, Qiu Feiqian grabbed Yin Le, who had attempted to escape upstairs.<\/span><\/p>

Yin Le became docile and stretched out his arm. He repeated the words he\u2019d used to coax Yu Zhen on Qiu Feiqian.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cHonestly, I take my eye off you for one day and something happens. Sit down. Tell me exactly what happened today.\u201d With worry in her heart, she held Yin Le\u2019s arm at an uninjured spot. After tossing his schoolbag onto a couch, she sat down and adopted an attitude of \u201cwe\u2019re going to have a nice, long talk\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Yin Le looked pitifully towards Yu Zhen, beseeching his help.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s useless for you to look to other people today. You\u2019re grown up now. You even know how to fight. <\/span>Xiao <\/span><\/i>Zhen, make some honey water and bring it over. I\u2019ve asked Hu <\/span>Ma<\/span><\/i> to make some snacks that you like. Bring some of those too.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Yu Zhen had opened his mouth but promptly shut it after hearing her words. He gave Yin Le a sympathetic but helpless look, then left for the kitchen.<\/span><\/p>

Yin Le\u2019s heart turned to dust. He gave up struggling for his freedom. He lowered his head and honestly explained what had happened.<\/span><\/p>

Qiu Feiqian exploded in a rage. \u201cHow ridiculous! He stole your things and still dared to injure you? Zou Chengjing is it? That should be that son-in-law who married into the Lin family. He just has an adoptive father with a little bit of status. He dared to bully our family? He must consider everyone else beneath him!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Yu Zhen\u2019s heart was moved by her words. He set down the snacks and took his seat.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cMom, he has already apologized. Don\u2019t be angry.\u201d Yin Yan brought out a new pot of chrysanthemum tea which could reduce her internal heat[1]<\/sup><\/span>. \u201cTry this, Yu Zhen made it himself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cHow does that count as an apology? How can smashing his own jade pendant count as an apology?\u201d The more she spoke, the angrier she became. However, she didn\u2019t forget to take a sip from the chrysanthemum tea that Yin Yan had just brought out. She praised, \u201cThis tea tastes good. It\u2019s more fragrant and soothing than the one I\u2019m used to drinking.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWhat\u2019s more fragrant and soothing?\u201d After Yin Hexiang heard of what happened, he quickly concluded the tasks at hand and then rushed home. Spotting Yin Le, he frowned and continued, \u201cSpeak. What\u2019s this about you getting into a fight at school today?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Yin Le wailed in anguish and dragged a pillow to his side. He burrowed his head into it and wished he could die.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Seeing that Yin Le was finding the situation unbearable, Yu Zhen took the initiative to welcome Yin Hexiang back and have him sit down. He took Yin Le\u2019s place to give a full run-down of the events that had transpired. At the same time, he shifted the topic of conversation to Zou Chengjing, trying to probe for information about the man.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cZou Chengjing.\u201d Yin Hexiang tapped his knee and frowned. \u201cThis man is out of the country all year round. I\u2019ve only met him a few times. A few years ago, Qiu Feixiong had thought about doing business with him and asked me to get in contact with him. But I didn\u2019t do that. That guy looks good-natured and reliable but is too glib, so it\u2019s not suitable to get close to him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

At the mention of Qiu Feixiong, Qiu Feiqian\u2019s expression turned complicated. She quickly covered it up and said, \u201cWhy didn\u2019t I know about that? Were you hiding it from me?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt was mostly because your relationship with them wasn\u2019t good at that time,\u201d Yin Hexiang vaguely explained. Qiu Feiqian understood that the issue must\u2019ve happened quite early on. At the time, Qiu Xiehua hadn\u2019t yet become muddle-headed. Her relationship with her family didn\u2019t amount to much. Yin Hexiang likely didn\u2019t bring it up so that she wouldn\u2019t be annoyed by it.<\/span><\/p>

The mood was somewhat low when Yin Yan suddenly said, \u201cThat Zou Chengjing looks a little like Yu Zhen.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The whole family was stunned by his words, especially Yu Zhen who turned to look at Yin Yan. Practically forgetting the setting, Yu Zhen pressed a hand on Yin Yan\u2019s leg and slightly shook his head.<\/span><\/p>

He didn\u2019t want the Yin family to know he had such a terrible father.<\/span><\/p>

[You\u2019re now on opposing sides with Zou Chengjing. The earlier you tell Mom and Dad about it, the earlier they can make preparations. Otherwise, Zou Chengjing might harm you later on.]<\/span><\/p>

The hand on Yin Yan\u2019s thigh trembled. With his eyes drooped, Yu Zhen retracted his hand.<\/span><\/p>

All kinds of things made it clear that Zou Chengjing was not a good person. Yu Zhen had used cultivator techniques against the man, so judging by his nature and way of doing things, he truly might retaliate against the Yin family.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

That\u2019s something I never want to see happen. I was mistaken and should have told them sooner.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Sensing his acceptance, Yin Yan took hold of his hand and gently squeezed it. Looking at Qiu Feiqian, Yin Yan continued, \u201cFrom some angles, Zou Chengjing\u2019s son, Lin Zouwei, looks similar to Yu Zhen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The hint was too obvious. Qiu Feiqian frowned and looked at Yu Zhen who, with his head hanging low, appeared to be dispirited. A not-so-wonderful conjecture formed in her mind. Qiu Feiqian hesitantly asked, \u201c<\/span>Xiao<\/span><\/i> Yan, what do you mean by that?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Yin Le blurted, \u201cHow are they similar? Yu <\/span>Ge<\/span><\/i> is so handsome and the Lin-Zou father and son pair are so ugly. <\/span>Da Ge<\/span><\/i> your eyesight is too bad.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan glared at him, causing Yin Le to choke up. However, he was unwilling to stay silent. Glancing at Yu Zhen with worry, Yin Le whispered, \u201cThey really aren\u2019t alike. Yu <\/span>Ge <\/span><\/i>is so good looking…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cDad, Mom.\u201d Yu Zhen had sorted out his mood. He looked at the two of them and his grip on Yin Yan\u2019s hand tightened. \u201cMy parents actually didn\u2019t pass away early. I was actually abandoned by my parents. My father\u2019s name is Yu Jincheng. It\u2019s\u2026 very similar to Zou Chengjing<\/span> [2]<\/sup><\/span>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Jincheng. Chengjing. Isn\u2019t that basically just switching the words around? The clue is too obvious.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Yin Le was shocked while Qiu Feiqian and Yin Hexiang quickly realized the seriousness of the issue.<\/span><\/p>

Zou Chengjing had married into the Lin family. If Yu Zhen really was a secret child\u2026<\/span><\/p>

The couple frowned and looked at each other. Qiu Feiqian muttered to herself for a few seconds, then she said, \u201c<\/span>Xiao<\/span><\/i> Zhen, don\u2019t think about this too much. Your dad and I will investigate Zou Chengjing first. Don\u2019t worry, it doesn\u2019t matter whose child you are or what you have experienced in life. It doesn\u2019t change that you are a person of our Yin family. Don\u2019t feel burdened, do you understand?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

One of the reasons that Yu Zhen was afraid to tell Yin Hexiang and Qiu Feiqian about Zou Chengjing was because he was afraid of becoming estranged from them for having such a father.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

It wasn\u2019t that he doubted the moral standing of Yin Hexiang and Qiu Feiqian, but he cared about the issue too much and so he worried over the gains and losses.<\/span><\/p>

Qiu Feiqian did not question him closely but instead considerately helped him. She took on a consoling attitude which calmed his unsteady heart. Yu Zhen couldn\u2019t help but to move closer and gently hug Qiu Feiqian. With a hoarse voice, he said, \u201cMom, thank you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s nothing. We\u2019re a family, there\u2019s no need to say thanks. Don\u2019t worry, Mom is here. There won\u2019t be a problem.\u201d It was the first time that Qiu Feiqian had seen him like that. She hugged him and patted him on the back as her heart almost melted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Qiu Feiqian had two sons. Before the car accident, the eldest stubbornly argued with the family for the sake of a woman. Meanwhile, the second child was like a monkey and wasn\u2019t considerate at all. It was a pity, but it was only after her two sons had grown up that she had felt the touching warmth of a mother-son connection with Yu Zhen.<\/span><\/p>

Yin Le remained shocked. <\/span>I don\u2019t understand how me getting into a fight got Yu Zhen involved.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

He peeked at Yin Yan, eyes filled with curiosity and his wish to appease. He hoped he could help smooth things out.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cTalk less, study more, and go rest.\u201d Yin Yan calmly tossed out those seven words, which were barely enough to be considered proper speech.<\/span><\/p>

Yin Le: \u201c…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

What kind of crappy brother is this? Can I trade him in for an exchange?<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Before going to bed, Yu Zhen washed his face and brushed his teeth as usual. As soon as he left the bathroom, Yin Yan pulled him into a hug and swiftly kissed him on the forehead.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cSorry, I didn\u2019t consult you before telling Mom and Dad about your personal matter.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s nothing. I know you were doing it for my own good. That really was the best time to talk about it.\u201d He returned the hug and leaned most of his weight on Yin Yan.<\/span><\/p>

At the time, Qiu Feiqian and Yin Hexiang\u2019s dissatisfaction with Zou Chengjing could almost break through the limits of the sky. Yin Yan had hinted at the issue with his vague words. It gave Qiu Feiqian and Yin Hexiang enough for them to fill in the blanks. It naturally set up Yu Zhen on the opposing side against Zou Chengjing, and quickly had Qiu Feiqian drawing him into a protected circle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If Yu Zhen\u2019s thoughts hadn\u2019t been disturbed by Zou Chengjing\u2019s appearance, and if he\u2019d been thinking with a cool head, he would have decided to speak out about the issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan firmly hugged Yu Zhen and gently touched his hair, silently giving him comfort.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Yu Zhen rubbed his head against Yin Yan\u2019s shoulder, then raised his head and kissed him on the chin.<\/span><\/p>

After a pause, Yin Yan bowed his head and responded to the kiss. The action was gentler than it had been in the past, and it brought a sense of comfort.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

They soon fell on the bed. Yu Zhen stripped off his shirt and grinded against Yin Yan.<\/span><\/p>

However, Yin Yan\u2019s actions were restrained. His hands remained at Yu Zhen\u2019s shoulders, not moving downwards the slightest bit.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYin Yan\u2026\u201d Yu Zhen quietly called out.<\/span><\/p>

Reason was on the verge of collapse. Yin Yan observed Yu Zhen\u2019s low mood and need to be comforted. His brows pulled together as he pressed down against Yu Zhen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Once he decided to be intimate, Yin Yan\u2019s overbearing passion immediately sprang forth. Yu Zhen quickly became limp on the bed and his low mood disappeared. His cheeks turned rosy and tears gathered in his eyes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan touched Yu Zhen, starting from his face and tracing a path down to his belly button. He hooked his fingers on Yu Zhen pants, then pulled them off.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As per usual, he let Yu Zhen vent once first. Although Yu Zhen appeared so tired he couldn\u2019t move, his hands roamed over Yin Yan\u2019s body. Yin Yan grabbed a roving hand, gently kissed it, then reached out his own hand in preparation for enjoying his own happiness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

However, Yu Zhen turned away unexpectedly and stuffed something in his own mouth. Then, as quick as lightning, he kissed Yin Yan and fed him the item which was pressed between his lips.<\/span><\/p>

The medicinal fragrance began to spread, the excited body quickly turned cold, and the hint of an immortal\u2019s aura reappeared.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cAlthough I understand that you did it for me, that doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m not angry. Punishment is still needed.\u201d Yu Zhen backed away from Yin Yan. Finding a lofty reason for his teasing, he didn\u2019t bother putting on his clothes and simply laid on the bed completely bare. He pulled up a blanket, turned around and yawned. \u201cIt\u2019s late, let\u2019s sleep. Goodnight.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan: \u201c…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

With no reverence for the master, nor respect for reason, he kicked Yin Yan. <\/span>“Turn off the light. It’s too bright.”<\/span> An arm and a leg were left exposed outside of the blankets, making him more alluring than if he had been completely exposed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan\u2019s gaze darkened.<\/span><\/p>

Pulled by spiritual energy, a pill floated over.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYou have to pay attention to your Taoist heart.\u201d Yu Zhen shut his eyes and \u201cconsiderately\u201d reminded him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan looked down at the back of Yu Zhen\u2019s head.<\/span><\/p>

One, two, three\u2026<\/span><\/i> In three seconds, the pill fell onto the blankets. Yu Zhen\u2019s body was relaxed and he fell asleep.<\/span><\/p>

\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan picked up the pill on the blanket and pinched it. Unable to bear it, he reached out for the exposed leg, thinking that he would give it a pinch as punishment. In the end, he touched it gently and moved the leg under the blanket.<\/span><\/p>

The sound of steady breathing reached his ears. Stretching his awareness, Yin Yan leaned down and listened to Yu Zhen\u2019s steady heartbeats. He lowered his head and kissed Yu Zhen\u2019s exposed shoulders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201c\u2026\u2026 Evil disciple.”<\/span><\/p>

In the middle of the might, Yu Zhen became restless. The sprout in Yu Zhen\u2019s dantian swayed slightly as if it had been disturbed.<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan\u2019s eyes opened. He sat up and watched Yu Zhen sleep uneasily. He coldly looked in a certain direction in the dim light. Waving a hand, he covered Yu Zhen\u2019s body with spiritual energy, cutting off an external pull on Yu Zhen\u2019s dantian. Then, Yu Zhen\u2019s dantian settled back to normal.<\/span><\/p>

“Xu Wu.”<\/span><\/p>

A white dango <\/span>[3]<\/sup><\/span> appeared, and following the rules, it lay down beside the bed.<\/span><\/p>

“Go and have a look.”<\/span><\/p>

Xu Wu meowed. It turned around and, in the blink of an eye, disappeared into thin air.<\/span><\/p>

After watching it leave, Yin Yan leaned down and pulled Yu Zhen into his arms and gave in to the urge to pat him. \u201cUnexpectedly, you used the spare seeds which were for practicing cultivation. Do you want to be eaten in return?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Yu Zhen had been half-awakened by the disturbances. After being patted, he completely woke up. He blearily opened his eyes and looked blankly at Yin Yan’s face, which was close to his own. Then he turned his head and glanced at the hand placed at the small of his back. His expression seemed to say that a belief of his had just collapsed.<\/span><\/p>

It\u2019s the middle of the night and Yin Yan actually secretly got up to\u2026 spank me?<\/span><\/i><\/p>

The air stilled and Yu Zhen bowed his head. Quietly, he shuffled out of Yin Yan\u2019s arms. He buried himself further into the blankets, leaving only his buttocks exposed. Red-faced, he warbled in a quiet voice, \u201cYou\u2026 If you want to\u2026 spank, spank away. I can take it. You don\u2019t need to be sneaky\u2026 I will be accepting of you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan: \u201c…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI won\u2019t laugh at you! Really! Having a slightly special urge is normal! You-you can bring it on!\u201d Yu Zhen turned his head and shut his eyes, assuming the position of a fearless sacrifice.<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan: \u201c…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Evil disciple! Evil disciple! Evil disciple!\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
