Chapter 97: Have I Failed Ye Xuan?
At this moment, Hu Wanquan, Hu Qian’er, and Yu Ling’er were all looking at Ye Xuan.
Hu Qian’er’s eyes were full of disdain, and her expression showed contempt.
Although she didn’t like Ye Xuan much before, her father suddenly wanted her to marry Ye Xuan, and moreover, together with Yu Ling’er, making it hard for her to have any good feelings towards her future husband.
Now, what Ye Xuan did made her despise him even more. Now, let alone her father, even if the Matchmaker came in front of her and said she had several lifetimes of marital fate with Ye Xuan, she would absolutely not marry such a shameless man.
Yu Ling’er’s face was pale as she looked at Ye Xuan, her eyes filled with a hint of pleading.
She said, “Senior Brother…… please tell me…… what exactly is going on?!!”
Faced with Hu Qian’er’s contempt, Yu Ling’er’s plea, and Hu Wanquan’s seriousness, Ye Xuan shook his head and said, “I’m sorry… Ling’er… I was blinded by wealth and beauty for a moment… I… have nothing to say.”
Hearing this, Yu Ling’er’s face turned even paler.
She sadly turned her gaze away, no longer looking at Ye Xuan.
“Ye Xuan, you really wasted your master’s painstaking efforts for you–!!!” Seeing this scene, Hu Wanquan finally couldn’t hold back.
He was furious to death, rushing to Ye Xuan and struck him in the chest with a palm. Directly crippling Ye Xuan’s martial bones.
“Ah–!!!” Accompanied by a scream, Ye Xuan fell to the ground and did not get up. He looked at Yu Ling’er, his eyes filled with an indescribable emotion.
But Yu Ling’er dared not meet Ye Xuan’s gaze, just looked away and silently wept.
“Someone, lock Ye Xuan in the firewood room, and send him to the official residence tomorrow–!”
“Yes–!!!”
Following Hu Wanquan’s order, several family servants rushed in. If Ye Xuan, whose martial arts had not been crippled, naturally could not be caught by these ordinary servants.
But now…
Ye Xuan was even worse than an ordinary person.
“Humph–!!!” After Ye Xuan was locked in the firewood room, Hu Wanquan heavily snorted and then turned his gaze towards his disciples.
Facing Hu Wanquan’s stern gaze, the disciples felt somewhat guilty.
“If I find out this matter has anything to do with you, none of you will get off easily–!!!” He said to everyone.
“Master, please don’t misunderstand, we absolutely have nothing to do with this–!!!” The Hu family disciples quickly said.
“It’s best that way. Today’s matter, no one is allowed to spread it, otherwise…” Speaking of this, Hu Wanquan didn’t say more, but with hands behind his back, he went to his concubine’s room.
Naturally, he was going to comfort his frightened concubine.
“Just sending him to the official residence is too cheap for him–!!!” At this moment, Hu Qian’er looked in the direction of the firewood room, her eyes full of hatred. She could imagine how her father would be ridiculed afterward.
Although her father strictly ordered no one to speak out, with so many people seeing it, how could it not be spread. Her father, Iron Sword Invincible, was also a famous person in the martial world, how could he suffer such humiliation–!!!
She will not easily let go of Ye Xuan. Thinking of this, her gaze turned to Yu Ling’er beside her and said: “Ling’er, surely, you have seen what kind of person Ye Xuan is, he is not worthy of your lifelong commitment, when the master returns, you better tell uncle not to mention marrying you to him again–!”
Hearing this, Yu Ling’er just quietly shed tears, not saying much.
“Sigh… you should rest early.” Seeing Yu Ling’er like this, Hu Qian’er sighed and turned to leave.
——
At this moment, in the Jade Fox Palace, everyone faced this sudden turn of events with a sense of bewilderment. Why did Ye Xuan choose to give up explaining himself?
He must have been framed by those Hu family disciples and that concubine of Hu Wanquan.
Even if he did indeed go into someone’s room on his own and was disrespectful to his master, at most they would just dispose of him, not to the extent of sending him to the officials.
Now, he’s not explaining himself. Even if Hu Wanquan wanted to be lenient, he wouldn’t know how to start.
“It seems that Ye Xuan probably really did this for the first time, hence he’s a bit panicked and can’t think of an explanation right now, right?”
“Should be the case…”
“But, Hu Wanquan is indeed worthy of being the previous life’s biological father of our palace master, such virtue, so magnanimous.”
“Yes, if I were him, I definitely wouldn’t let Ye Xuan off so easily.”
“We, as cultivators, are so open-minded, yet even we fear wearing the green hat, let alone martial artists, who value face the most–!”
“Exactly, if it were me, I would probably break all of Ye Xuan’s bones–!”
“However, this way, we can probably understand why Ye Xuan used such cruel methods on our palace master, it seems like it’s a grudge from a previous life.”
“Yes, it must be the case. But it was his own shameful deeds, how dare he even think of claiming debts from a previous life?”
“Pah–!!!”
“In his previous life, he let down Yu Ling’er.”
“Look, she’s still foolishly protecting Ye Xuan.”
“Poor Yu Ling’er.”
As they spoke, some people turned their gazes towards Yu Ling’er.
Unlike the silent Yu Ling’er in the scene, the current Yu Ling’er was protectively standing beside Ye Xuan. Although Ye Xuan’s strength had surpassed hers, if needed, she would definitely die for him first.
Seeing Yu Ling’er like this, some people also secretly felt pity. Such a nice girl, why did she have to fall for someone like Ye Xuan, the great villain?!!
Hu Qianzhuo watched Yu Ling’er and said to her, “Yu Ling’er, do you see?
“The truth is sometimes so direct, I know it’s hard for you to accept, but that’s the fact. Perhaps some people now seem like good people to you, but once they need to, unable to resist temptation, they will turn into villains.”
“Just like Ye Xuan beside you.”
“No matter how he behaves in front of you, making you like him, it cannot change the fact that he will do cruel things to me in the future. You better wake up, lest you end up like your previous life, only left with heartbreak, unable to even speak. If you regret later, it will be too late.”
Hearing this, Yu Ling’er couldn’t help but feel guilty internally.
Did she really let Ye Xuan down again in her previous life? Did she fail to firmly believe in him when he needed trust the most?!!
As for Hu Qianzhuo’s words, she didn’t take them to heart at all.
