Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness-Chapter 109

Chapter 109: Why Should I Kneel and Beg for Forgiveness?

Yu Tieshan could clearly see that Ye Xuan was only saying these words to stay alive. Upon hearing them, he chuckled dismissively: “Nephew, if that’s the case, you should have spoken earlier. Had you done so, I wouldn’t have been so harsh on you.

“Now that you only regard Ling’er as a sister, from now on, you must be good and wholeheartedly devote yourself to my daughter Qian’er.”

“Uncle… ah no, father-in-law rest assured—!” Ye Xuan responded, “I, Ye Xuan, will definitely treat Qian’er well for my entire life, with all my heart.”

“Ha ha ha…” Yu Tieshan laughed, but his expression turned cold in the next moment, and he said, “However, empty promises aren’t convincing. I can’t trust you unless you perform a play for Ling’er to see.”

“A play?” Ye Xuan asked, “What kind of play?”

“Tomorrow night, I want you to go to the room of my concubine Hui Niang, and I will have Ling’er come to catch an adulterer. If you do that, I’ll believe you really have no designs on Ling’er,” Yu Tieshan declared.

“Ah, this…” Ye Xuan looked troubled.

“What, you’re unwilling?” Yu Tieshan continued, “Or is it that… you actually have no intention of giving up on Ling’er? Just looking for an opportunity to run away with her? If that’s the case, I’d have no choice but to kill you, albeit reluctantly.”

He didn’t really want to kill Ye Xuan now. Killing one more person would just bring more trouble. If Yu Tieshan and Ye Xuan died, leaving only Yu Ling’er, Hu Wanquan’s identity might be suspected.

He has now taken over Hu Wanquan’s body and must consider actions under Hu Wanquan’s identity. If Hu Wanquan becomes too suspicious, then Yu Tieshan would be in trouble.

“No, no… that’s not it…” Ye Xuan said, “I’m just worried that if it comes to that, Qian’er might not want to marry me?”

“Ha ha ha, rest assured, if I tell her to marry, she will marry… When the time comes, I’ll arrange everything,” Yu Tieshan stated,

“As long as you follow my script, I guarantee you’ll be able to marry my daughter, and furthermore, I will pass on to you the Banished Immortal Sword Technique.”

If it weren’t for Ye Xuan knowing about Hu Wanquan’s evil deeds, Yu Tieshan wouldn’t want to kill Ye Xuan right now. Although he always viewed Ye Xuan as a vessel for possession, he did appreciate his disciple. Unfortunately, Ye Xuan was too clever. Yu Tieshan could keep him for a while but not forever.

Ye Xuan must die—! But this time, he would ensure Ye Xuan’s death was clear and indisputable, not disappearing mysteriously and raising suspicions over time.

“Since that’s the case, then as your son-in-law, I will follow father-in-law’s arrangements—!” Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan feigned an excited expression.

———

As the master and disciple duo performed their respective acts within the scene, the onlookers from the Jade Fox Palace felt a chill.

At this moment, Ye Xuan, fully aware that he was in a desperate situation, pretended ignorance and even intentionally misled Yu Tieshan, guiding him in the direction Ye Xuan wanted.

Yu Tieshan thought he controlled Ye Xuan, but in reality, everything was proceeding according to Ye Xuan’s plan. Yu Tieshan was being manipulated by Ye Xuan.

It’s undeniable that he was in an absolute position of advantage, but that was because Ye Xuan had no means to deal with him directly. If Ye Xuan had the means to handle Yu Tieshan, perhaps Yu Tieshan would have died countless times by now.

Ye Xuan was forced to guide the situation in this direction out of desperation. It was a pity that if Ye Xuan at that time had found a righteous cultivator to support him, he wouldn’t have had to worry so much.

It is because numerous people suffer from oppression that righteous cultivators quickly rise to become mainstream in this world. No one wants to be oppressed one day and find themselves without help.

This great trend of the world may eventually see evil triumph over good, but whoever leads the world will surely guide people towards goodness; otherwise, they themselves won’t be able to sit securely in their position.

“Now it seems, everything previously was just a play performed by Ye Xuan, solely to save the palace master ‘s past life, Hu Qian’er?”

“But… the way the palace master treated Ye Xuan in her past life, not only misunderstanding him but also deliberately having his legs broken before sending him to prison?”

“Ah, this…” For a moment, everyone looked curiously at Hu Qianzao.

Hu Qianzao, looking somewhat embarrassed, said, “Why are you all looking at me? That was my past life’s issue, and Ye Xuan clearly stayed mainly for Yu Ling’er, what does it have to do with my past life? At most, he just wanted to help me incidentally…”

“That makes sense,” hearing Hu Qianzao’s words, the people of the Jade Fox Palace nodded in agreement.

“But he clearly wanted to help you, yet you hurt him so much, can you really be at peace with that?” At that moment, Yu Ling’er asked Hu Qianzao.

“That’s… if I were you, I would’ve knelt down and begged for Ye Xuan’s forgiveness a long time ago,” Qingxue also sneered.

Well… she had done so, she and Yu Ling’er had both done so in the past.

“Hah?!!” Hu Qianzao looked incredulous: “This debt is from my past life to Ye Xuan’s past life, why should I kneel and beg for mercy in this life, have you all got it wrong?!”

Hearing Hu Qianzao’s words, Qingxue and Yu Ling’er shared a knowing smile. They both felt that since the plot heavily emphasized past life matters, Hu Qianzao could not be completely unconnected to her past life.

The more vehemently Hu Qianzao denied it now, the harder the slap of reality might hit her later. In matters of being humiliated, both of them were quite experienced.

Subsequently, they watched Hu Qianzao with ill-intent. Confronted with their gazes, Hu Qianzao naturally felt bewildered. Especially when she noticed that Ye Xuan was also looking at her that way, she found it utterly unreasonable.

What exactly is he feeling so smug about? Hmph—!!! Wait until I let him see what he has done to me, and see if he can still be so smug. Disgusting—!!!

She glared fiercely at Ye Xuan.
