Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges, Where Does the Jade Person Teach Flute Playing

Three days!

Three days!!

Do you know how Tang San spent these three days!

Do you know!

Every day, he watched Zhang Tianyu and Xiao Wu sleeping in the same blanket!

Eating, cultivating, and attending the opening ceremony—they were always a pair!

Ah!

His heart ached so much!

In all his years growing up, even counting his previous life, he had never felt such pain!

Why does my heart ache so much? Tang San cried out in agony.

It was precisely because of his heartache, which Tang Hao had noticed, that Xiao Wu was able to keep her life.

Of course, that was only one reason.

Another reason was the relationship between Zhang Tianyu and Tang San.

Currently, in the entire Notting Academy, apart from his teacher Yu Xiaogang, the person with the best relationship with Tang San was Zhang Tianyu.

Therefore, on one hand, Tang Hao saw Tang San's feelings for Xiao Wu, and on the other, he considered the bond between Tang San and Zhang Tianyu.

The most important reason was that Tang San was still too young and far from being able to accept a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring. He had other matters to attend to, and even if he captured Xiao Wu, he had no way to keep her captive and watch her constantly, so he decided to leave Xiao Wu alone for the time being.

"San?"

Yu Xiaogang's call pulled Tang San out of his trance.

"Ah, Teacher, what is it?" Tang San asked.

"You seem a bit distracted and your spirit is low. Did you not rest well last night?" Yu Xiaogang asked with concern.

"Perhaps," Tang San said. "I'm sorry, Teacher, for making you worry."

"It's alright," Yu Xiaogang smiled somewhat stiffly. "You can rest in the carriage; I will wake you when we arrive."

"No need, Teacher, I will be fine in a moment."

Yu Xiaogang nodded and said nothing more. The carriage fell silent, and Tang San looked out the window, his heart full of confusion.

Why?

Why does my heart feel so uncomfortable whenever I think of Xiao Wu and Tianyu being a pair?

Why? There's no reason for this!

Thinking of this, Tang San's heart suddenly jolted. Memories of his time in the Tang Sect involuntarily flashed through his mind.

Those scenes spun in his head like a revolving lantern, finally settling on one person.

Senior Brother Tianya of the Tang Sect!

He was the only good friend he had in the Tang Sect. Back then, that senior brother had taken great care of him; he had even regarded him almost like an older brother!

Tianya, Tianyu, Ah, the names are so similar!

And that Senior Brother Tianya was also a dashing and handsome man. Between his brows, he did indeed seem to share a resemblance with Zhang Tianyu!

Could it be?

After learning that I had jumped off the cliff, did Senior Brother Tianya jump as well and come here with me?

No, no!

That shouldn't be it.

If that were true, then Tianyu should have retained his memories from his previous life. He should have recognized me long ago and confessed his identity to me.

Then, is it possible that Senior Brother Tianya didn't retain his memories like I did when he came to this world, but instead had his memories wiped and was reincarnated, which is why he doesn't remember me?

That is possible!

Ah!

Senior Brother Tianya, is it you?

Tang San's eyes grew moist.

But wait, no!

Even if he really is Senior Brother Tianya, why would I feel uncomfortable when he is with Xiao Wu?

That logic doesn't hold up!

I should be happy for him, not feeling stifled!

Could it be?!

Tang San's gaze suddenly turned strange, and his expression became somewhat complicated.

Could it be... could it be...

Could it be that I'm gay?!

Am I jealous of Xiao Wu because I saw her with Zhang Tianyu?

No, no, no!

Impossible! This is impossible!

Although I was single my entire past life and never had any romantic involvement with a woman, the person who stayed by my side the longest was Senior Brother Tianya.

But I am certain that my orientation is normal! I absolutely cannot be gay!

Uh...

But, the person who has stayed by my side the longest is indeed Senior Brother Tianya...

Could it be that I am actually a closeted gay man?

I thought my orientation was normal, but in reality, it isn't?

This... this can't be, right...

The more Tang San thought about it, the more panicked, apprehensive, and uneasy he felt.

Because the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the image of Zhang Tianyu in his mind was so vivid and lifelike.

Even though he wasn't by his side, it was as if he were right there in his heart...

Ah, how terrifying! No! Stop thinking about it!

"Tang San, what's wrong with you?" Yu Xiaogang finally noticed Tang San's odd behavior and asked, "Your complexion looks a bit pale."

Distracted by Yu Xiaogang, Tang San instantly snapped back to reality: "Ah, Teacher, I'm fine."

Yu Xiaogang frowned, looking at him with concern: "You don't look like you're fine. Tang San, are you really okay?"

As he spoke, he reached out to touch Tang San's forehead.

Tang San instinctively wanted to dodge, but then he thought that this was his teacher, so he didn't move.

However, when Yu Xiaogang's hand pressed against his forehead, he shuddered again, and an indescribable feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

This feeling!

This feeling of being cared for and worried about!

Ah!

It's so good!

This warm feeling—I haven't even felt this from my father before!

"Your complexion is poor, and you seem to be trembling a little," Yu Xiaogang asked, "Are you really sure you're okay?"

Tang San withdrew his gaze and lowered his head slightly: "Teacher, I'm really fine. Maybe I just didn't sleep well last night; I'll recover in a while."

Yu Xiaogang said: "If something is wrong, you must not hide it from me. You must tell me."

"Understood, Teacher."

"By the way, this is something I obtained while traveling in my youth. It's of no use to me anymore, so I'll give it to you."

As he spoke, he unbuckled his belt.

Tang San was shocked!

Wait a minute!

Why are you unbuckling your belt for no reason!

I'm still just a child!

And I'm a boy! What are you trying to do!

I'm not gay!

The next second, Yu Xiaogang handed the belt to Tang San: "This is a storage-type Soul Tool. It has never had a name; you should give it one."

So he was just giving me a belt!

Tang San let out a long sigh of relief. He had been so startled, thinking he was about to do something else!

As for a name...

Tang San listened to Yu Xiaogang's description of the belt, thought for a moment, and said: "How about we call it 'Where Does the Jade Person Teach Flute Playing'?"

"Huh?" Yu Xiaogang was stunned, "This name..."

"Uh, no, no, no, I misspoke," Tang San quickly corrected himself: "Let's call it 'Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges'."

Tang San was panicking. He clearly meant to say 'Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges', so why did he inexplicably blurt out the line that followed it?

Could it be that I really am gay?!

No!

Impossible!

Absolutely not!

I am normal!
