Chapter 46 : Ye Xuan’s Shameless Scheme

Seeing Yu Ling’er’s skeptical gaze, the Ice Mountain Fairy, Qingxue, felt a bit awkward, yet her expression remained frosty. She spoke, “I cannot deny that Ye Xuan indeed saved my family’s life, but whether his intentions were genuine is still unknown.

“Moreover, my family was unaware of the truth, so their misunderstanding is understandable.

Of course, it was indeed their mistake, which I don’t deny. However, that’s not the main point I want you to see. Just keep watching. You’ll understand once you see the rest.”

“Hmph—”

Yu Ling’er snorted lightly. Now, apart from continuing to watch, she didn’t have much choice. She was also curious about Ye Xuan’s past. Why was Ye Xuan the same person as his past life? What had he done in the past?

But after what had just transpired, Yu Ling’er was increasingly convinced that Ye Xuan couldn’t possibly be a great villain.

After Yu Ling’er turned her gaze back to the Former Dust Mirror, Qingxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Unbelievably, her frozen mortal heart was stirred once again because of such a trivial matter.

It seems her cultivation was still lacking.

“……”

Qingxue, though she had attained immortality, still remembered her days as a young girl. Back then, although just a poor farmer’s daughter, she lived happily. That changed when the landlord’s son, Ye Xuan, entered her life.

Everything changed because of Ye Xuan’s shameless scheming.

On that day, as the sun just rose and the weather was clear, Ye Xuan was having breakfast at home. A guard entered and spoke to Ye Xuan, “Young Master, Mo Dazhuang seeks an audience.”

“Which Mo Dazhuang?” Ye Xuan asked.

“It’s the brother of Mo Qingxue, that girl you mentioned before. You said among all the neighboring villages of Wuyuan Town, Mo Qingxue was the most beautiful and to your liking.”

“Oh? Let him in.”

Qingxue sneered coldly. Yes, Ye Xuan’s plotting started right then and there!

“Elder, who is Mo Dazhuang?” Yu Ling’er asked Qingxue.

“He’s my elder brother, you saw him in the previous scene.”

Yu Ling’er looked puzzled. The guard just mentioned that Ye Xuan was most fond of Mo Qingxue? Isn’t Mo Qingxue the Ice Mountain Fairy herself?

“Could it be that something happened between Ye Xuan and Master Qingxue in the past? Ah, this—!!!” Yu Ling’er’s expression became even more peculiar as she pondered this possibility. She sneaked a glance at Qingxue.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in worn clothes walked in from outside the hall. He approached Ye Xuan while showing a fawning attitude and saluted from a distance. “Good day, Young Master Ye, I’m sorry to disturb you—!”

The man’s appearance matched one of the individuals from the dilapidated farmhouse seen earlier. Previously, this man was cursing Ye Xuan with the most venomous words behind his back.

Mo Qingxue, the young girl, was scolded for a long time just for saying something wrong.

From the dialogue, it seemed he was Mo Qingxue’s elder brother. But now, facing Ye Xuan, he showed the most servile behavior. Glancing at the lavish food on Ye Xuan’s table, he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. These delicacies were probably something he could never afford in his lifetime.

“What do you want?” Ye Xuan asked, putting down his bowl.

“Young Master Ye, it’s like this… my family is in a difficult situation lately, so I came to ask if you could lend me some money to get through this tough time.”

“Borrow money?” Ye Xuan inquired. “How much do you want to borrow?”

“Well… um… I beg you, Young Master, lend me one guan.” Mo Dazhuang said awkwardly.

He didn’t want to borrow money from Ye Xuan, but since the tea garden was destroyed by the flood and Ye Xuan showed no urgency to redevelop it, they, the former tenants of the tea garden, had no income.

Especially him, with an elderly mother, wife, children, and an unmarried sister to support, they were struggling to feed themselves.

“One guan, and how long do you plan to take to repay it?” Ye Xuan asked.

“Two months, after two months, I will repay everything I owe, including interest,” Mo Dazhuang replied.

“Alright, I can lend you the money,” Ye Xuan said. “But what if you can’t repay it on time… what then?”

“If I can’t repay, you can report me to the officials,” Mo Dazhuang said. “I will surely repay it.”

Ye Xuan nodded and agreed to lend the money.

“Ah, this…” Yu Ling’er seemed puzzled and asked Qingxue, “Elder, isn’t it a good thing that Ye Xuan is willing to lend money to your brother?”

“A good thing?” Qingxue sneered. “But then he immediately had my brother robbed and took the money back—!!!”

“What!” Yu Ling’er exclaimed, unable to believe Ye Xuan could do such a thing. She glanced at Ye Xuan and shook her head dismissively. “No way, Brother Ye Xuan wouldn’t do such a thing. There must be some misunderstanding. Let’s continue watching.”

“That’s great. With this money, I can feed my family for a while. As long as I work hard to earn money during this period, I can pay off the debt in less than two months.” Holding the money in his hand, Mo Dazhuang could not help but feel very happy. In fact, his family had been starving for a while. On the way home, Mo Dazhuang was beaming.

“Ouch.”

At this moment, Mo Dazhuang suddenly heard a cry of surprise in front of him. He saw a woman kneeling on the ground with a pained look on her face. “Miss, are you all right—!!!” He hurried over and asked the woman.

“Brother, I think I sprained my ankle. Can you help me? My house is not far ahead.” The woman said to Mo Dazhuang. “It’s so painful for me.” As she spoke, she winked at Mo Dazhuang.

Mo Dazhuang could not help but shiver. He was completely fascinated by the woman in front of him.

“Brother, come and help me.” The woman looked very seductive and pretentious, but she was very attractive to Mo Dazhuang. “My house is over there…” As she spoke, she pointed at the bushes by the roadside.

“Gulp—!!!” Mo Dazhuang swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Then he understood. He had met a prostitute. It was said that some women were not good-looking. Even if they entered brothels, they were not qualified to receive customers.

So they could not make a living, so they could only choose to be prostitutes and hook up with passers-by in the wild. If it were in the past, he might not have bothered with such a woman. After all, he had a wife at home. However, this woman was really different from ordinary women. She was very beautiful.

He said to the prostitute. “Then … I’ll give you a hand. Although men and women should not touch each other, I have to do this at this time. Miss, please don’t be offended.”

“Don’t worry.” The woman said with a smile, “I know you are a good man. You can be more casual. Don’t be too distant.”

“…” Then Mo Dazhuang helped the prostitute into the bushes on the side. As the saying goes, one needs to be fed. However, he was not fed yet. He could only say that this prostitute was indeed very beautiful.

Looking at the scene, there was a movement in the bushes, but she couldn’t see anything. Yu Ling ‘er asked curiously, “Brother Ye Xuan, why did he help that woman into the bushes? Could it be that the woman was a spirit who lured people into the bushes and sucked their essence?”

Although she had lived for dozens of years and cultivated an immortal body, she was still a pure young girl. She really didn’t understand these things.

“Pfff!!!” Ye Xuan could not help but laugh out loud.

Elder Qing Xue looked a little embarrassed. ‘Why is the Former Dust Mirror always showing unimportant matters?!’ His elder brother was really too much. His family was starving, yet he was still obsessed with women—!!! Why not just let people see Ye Xuan sending people to rob her brother?!

Seeing Qing Xue’s awkward expression, Ye Xuan found it funny. There were even more exciting things to come.
