Chapter 108: Ye Xuan Should Not Endure This Humiliation
At this moment, no one dared to underestimate Ye Xuan anymore. Everything Ye Xuan did seemed foolish to them.
However, the real folly was on their part; Ye Xuan was the one who was right all along. As for Ye Xuan’s character issues… no one dared to speak carelessly anymore.
Even if Ye Xuan really did something in this life to wrong their palace lord, honestly, it had nothing to do with his past life. They wanted to use his past to mock Ye Xuan, but they might end up getting their comeuppance.
Why bother? Better to just watch quietly. By now, some already felt their faces slapped multiple times, and their heads were still buzzing with embarrassment.
Thus, everyone seriously started watching the show.
———
After much deliberation, Ye Xuan decided to return to the Hu mansion. He knew his master would never let him go. However, now that his master had killed and taken over the body of his senior, Hu Wanquan, it turned into an opportunity for him.
Although he also knew the secrets of senior Hu Wanquan, compared to him, Hu Wanquan had less reason to kill him. Hu Wanquan’s reason to kill him was simply because he coveted Yu Ling’er.
But Yu Ling’er was the daughter of his master, Yu Tieshan, and after taking over Hu Wanquan’s body, he wouldn’t harbor any thoughts about Yu Ling’er anymore. This made Yu Ling’er safe.
However, under such circumstances, Hu Qian’er was in danger. Although Hu Wanquan was not a good person, Hu Qian’er was unaware of everything he had done. She was probably not a bad person either.
Otherwise, Hu Wanquan wouldn’t have acted without her knowledge… Clearly, as a father, he still wanted to maintain a good image in his daughter’s eyes. Therefore, he couldn’t just watch an innocent woman suffer. With this in mind, Ye Xuan resolutely headed towards the Hu mansion.
———
Listening to Ye Xuan’s thoughts at this moment, the disciples of the Jade Fox Palace were somewhat puzzled. According to Ye Xuan’s reasoning, his actions could indeed be considered chivalrous. However, what he did afterwards seemed to contradict this. What was going on?
———
“I can’t just go save Hu Qian’er; otherwise, that old sly master of mine will definitely realize I know something.”
At this moment, Ye Xuan arrived outside the Hu mansion and thought to himself. “I need to find a way to have Ling’er protect Hu Qian’er.”
With that, he took a deep breath and headed towards Yu Ling’er’s room. He had to act unaware of the situation; otherwise, he was doomed.
So, the first thing he did upon returning to the Hu mansion was to elope with Yu Ling’er! Sure enough, just as Ye Xuan reached Yu Ling’er’s door, he felt a sense of crisis from behind.
In the next moment, he felt himself restrained and then forcefully taken to an empty yard. Afterwards, the person who restrained him released him. Clearly, they were not afraid of Ye Xuan escaping from their grasp.
“Ye Xuan, my dear nephew, where are you going? Sneaking into a woman’s room in the middle of the night isn’t very appropriate!” Along with this voice, the face of Hu Wanquan appeared in front of Ye Xuan. He looked at Ye Xuan and smiled.
“Ah… you… Uncle… Uncle–!!!” Ye Xuan looked at Hu Wanquan, feigning a shocked expression. “Uncle… you didn’t…”
“Hahaha–!!!” Hearing this, Yu Tieshan, controlling Hu Wanquan’s body, laughed at Ye Xuan: “Did you think I died at the hands of your master? Your master was still inferior to me; he died by my hand.”
“Is that so? I thought… it was my master who was coming to kill me…” Hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn’t help showing a look of dejection.
“Now, Uncle, are you going to kill me? Then go ahead… I just ask that you don’t let Ling’er know the truth, otherwise, she will be miserable for the rest of her life.”
Hearing this, Yu Tieshan was somewhat surprised by Ye Xuan. This kid really cared about Ling’er. He could easily kill him now, but that would inevitably cause some trouble. Better to take things slow.
Besides, the things Hu Wanquan said before were too beastly; he still had to pretend to be interested in his own daughter. Otherwise, Ye Xuan would definitely be suspicious.
If he let his guard down and told others about his situation, it would cause even more trouble. Although his martial skills were formidable, and ordinary people couldn’t deal with him, if someone called in a legendary righteous cultivator, then he would be finished. So, even though he couldn‘t easily kill him, he also couldn’t let him off too easily.
“Your master wanted to kill you, and yet you’re still sad for him?” He smiled at Ye Xuan: “Seeing that you are a man of true feelings, I actually appreciate you, nephew. However, I fancy Ling’er, and Ling’er likes you… I really can’t keep you, nephew, what should I do?”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan’s expression subtly changed, nearly unable to hold back. But the next moment, he took a deep breath and forced a smile: “ Uncle… actually, I’ve always seen Ling’er as a sister… Actually, what I really like is someone like your daughter, who is noble, gentle, and polite. Though she isn’t as pretty as Yu Ling’er, she dresses quite charmingly…”
———
“How am I not as pretty as Yu Ling’er–!!!” At that moment, Hu Qianzao was extremely vexed. She looked at Yu Ling’er, convinced that she was prettier than Yu Ling’er at the moment.
Ye Xuan was simply lying through his teeth. However, she didn’t say this out loud. Because at that moment, everyone was watching the screen with a hint of sympathy in their eyes.
