Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness-Chapter 12 - Could It Be, I Really Misunderstood Him?

Chapter 12 : Could It Be, I Really Misunderstood Him?

To survive, Ye Xuan kept on creating the story. Pondering his newly crafted plot, Ye Xuan thought, Am I being too harsh on myself in this story? Even I feel sorry for myself. Heh, I wonder how Yu Ling’er will react to this scene.

Finally, after hearing the man swear on the Heavenly Dao that he would not harm Yu Ling’er, Ye Xuan chose to leave. He had to. A vow on the Heavenly Dao leaves no loopholes; once sworn, nothing can be done or even planned against it.

What else could he trust at this point? The peak of Mount Taihua was really cold, bone-chillingly so, but even that was nothing compared to the coldness in Ye Xuan’s heart.

He had long accepted his lack of spiritual roots and the fact that he would never be powerful. Even if he faced humiliation and accusations from thousands, nothing had ever made him despise his powerlessness like this moment.

Senior sister Yu Ling’er was injured protecting him, but he, even risking his life, couldn’t protect her.

The man only refrained from killing him because it would have caused some trouble.

Just some trouble…

The man’s promise not to harm Yu Ling’er wasn’t out of fear of Ye Xuan’s threat, but out of pride, preferring voluntary participation. To that man, Ye Xuan’s threats were nothing but a joke to be toyed with.

At that moment, he felt like a wounded beast, helpless and hating his own impotence. He cursed himself continuously in his heart, why did he have to lack spiritual roots? He cursed himself for being powerless. “Ye Xuan, you useless thing, why don’t you just die!”

“…”

Watching the scene unfold and hearing the helpless roars from deep within Ye Xuan…

Yu Ling’er panicked. Why is it like this? In her memory, Junior Brother Ye Xuan was a crazed demon. But watching this scene, why does she feel sad and pained for him? Could it be that she really misunderstood him? Is everything in this scene real? What exactly is happening? What is the truth?

Yu Ling’er’s mindset was already greatly shaken.

But the relentless storyline continued:

On Qinyang Peak, Yu Ling’er awoke from her unconsciousness to find a man healing her with spiritual qu.

Confused, she asked, “Senior brother, who are you… Where is my junior brother?”

“I am Yu Shou, the senior disciple of Qing Guang Peak. When I arrived, I didn’t see anyone else.”

The man spoke: “It was quite dangerous when I found you, almost eaten by a tiger demon.”

“What?!”

Yu Ling’er exclaimed in surprise, then pondered:

“Could it be… my junior brother left me alone and fled?”

“Junior brother?” Hearing this, the man replied: “If he’s your junior brother, he must be the one who joined without spiritual roots. It’s natural for him to be scared facing a demon. Please don’t blame him.”

As he spoke, Yu Shou withdrew his healing Qi and gave her a warm, sunny smile.

“——!!!” Hearing his words, Yu Ling’er thought it made sense. Although the demon was severely injured by her, her junior brother was just a mortal after all.

In the face of danger, it’s normal for him to be afraid. But when she thinks about him abandoning her, Yu Ling’er can’t help feeling disappointed.

The little fondness she had for Ye Xuan is now completely gone. He had spoken so nobly before, claiming he would rather die in front of her. Back then, she was somewhat moved by his words.

“Thank you, senior brother… If it wasn’t for you, I would have been killed by that demon.” She bowed to Yu Shou in gratitude.

“Why mention it, junior sister? We are all disciples of the same sect, no need for thanks,” Yu Shou replied to Yu Ling’er. “But speaking of which, your junior brother is just a mortal. He ran away alone; I hope he didn’t encounter any trouble. We should hurry and look for him.”

“Right,” Yu Ling’er nodded. Yu Shou didn’t reach out to help her up, maintaining a certain distance. This is a world of cultivators, where there is a clear distinction between men and women.

If this were before, Yu Ling’er would have been very emotional seeing her senior brother Qin from before her rebirth, but now, watching this scene, she feels that something is off.

This scene matches her memory exactly. In her impression, senior brother Qin was always righteous and proper in his conduct, but if she considers the scenes she saw earlier, his current actions seem terrifying.

The scenes shown by the Beidu Star Lord, the god who controls fate, must be true. Does this mean… senior brother Qin has been a despicable person disguised as a gentleman from the beginning?

It’s terrifying to think that she misunderstood her junior brother Ye Xuan, who didn’t actually flee but was forced to do so for her honor and safety!

Is this really true?! This question haunted Yu Ling’er many times today.

But this time, she’s starting to doubt herself.

The events in the scenes she saw were perfectly reasonable. So, did she really misunderstand her junior brother Ye Xuan? If so, how unjustly he must have suffered!

As Yu Ling’er pondered, the scene shifted to the next part, making her even more anxious.

In the snow, Ye Xuan was running frantically.

Tears flowed from his eyes, already red from sorrow.

They say men do not easily shed tears, but why would he cry if not heartbroken? He knew his senior sister was being deceived by that unknown man, who she might even start to fancy.

He should be with her, telling her that it was he who protected her, not that despicable person who deliberately set a demon loose. But to protect her, he could only get farther and farther away…

Watching the script in his hands, Ye Xuan sighed:

“I’ve made myself so pitiful, I refuse to believe that I can’t wash away my villainous identity. I wonder if Yu Ling’er will cry watching this. Anyway, I’m swallowing my tears, pfft, hahaha. Yu Ling’er, I told you, the bone-chilling cold I felt before, I want you to experience it too. Don’t be too sad later, the more heartbreaking part is yet to come.”

At this moment, Ye Xuan realized his skill in clearing his name could actually be quite effective. Even knowing the story was fabricated, it could still move people to tears, let alone Yu Ling’er, who believed it to be true.
