Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness

Chapter 121

Hu Qianzao watched the scene from her past life with a displeased expression. “Why was my previous self so foolish? If she had thought it through even a little, she should have realized that Ye Xuan wasn’t harming her.”

From Ye Xuan’s conversation with Lu Gu, it was clear that he could have taken her away at any moment. He was deliberately delaying. Isn’t that obvious?!

Well, it’s something that not everyone can see. At least, many in the Jade Fox Palace had not seen it before. But after listening to Ye Xuan’s explanation, Hu Qianzao should be able to draw her own conclusions, right?

Even if she doesn’t trust Ye Xuan’s words, it’s clear he was trying to help her. Otherwise, why would Ye Xuan wait to call others instead of taking her away immediately when he caught her? Just from this alone, she should have tried to buy time for Ye Xuan instead of tripping him up!

“Thank goodness this is just my past life.” Hu Qianzao said somewhat relievedly, “I would never do such foolish things.”

Hearing her words, Ye Xuan secretly chuckled to himself. It seems that this palace master has yet to realize the gravity of the situation.

——–

In the scene, Yu Tieshan never expected that in such a dire situation, Ye Xuan would still have a chance to turn things around, especially with the help of a cultivator. Initially, he thought he was doomed and was about to flee without hesitation.

But soon, he noticed something was off. The cultivator Ye Xuan brought didn’t seem too keen on attacking him; rather, his focus seemed to be on Ye Xuan.

“Could it be that he also discovered Ye Xuan has a immortal spirit root?”

The legendary root that only reincarnated immortals possess, which could make even the simplest cultivation techniques rapidly ascend to immortality. Those with such a root are highly coveted by those on the path of evil.

Yu Tieshan had taken Ye Xuan as his disciple after accidentally discovering the deeply hidden immortal spirit root, hoping to practice the Blood Soul Seizing Technique to take over Ye Xuan’s body and become immortal.

But his plans were disrupted by Hu Wanquan’s stupidity, forcing him to use the technique prematurely. Regrettably, he had to abandon his plans to possess Ye Xuan.

But now, seeing this cultivator’s attention fixed on Ye Xuan during the attack, he was more certain that the cultivator’s target was not him but Ye Xuan. This person was no righteous cultivator. After all, which righteous cultivator would be like this?

In an instant, Yu Tieshan figured out the crux and hastily said to Lu Gu, “Elder, let’s not fight anymore. Ye Xuan is full of tricks. If we keep restraining each other, who knows what he might do next?”

“We’ve already drawn the attention of other cultivators. It’s best not to engage in unnecessary battles and think of a way to escape! Otherwise, no matter your plans, they could all turn to dust.”

Hearing this, Lu Gu hesitated slightly. He looked at Ye Xuan, pondering his options. His purpose was not really to help Ye Xuan, nor had he noticed Ye Xuan’s immortal spirit root. He was only helping Ye Xuan because Ye Xuan could help him escape Jianghua City, avoiding the attention of other cultivators.

If he continued to tangle with Yu Tieshan, as he had said, he might indeed end up being used by Ye Xuan. Seeing that it was about time, if Ye Xuan didn’t act, he would immediately kill Hu Qian’er to make Ye Xuan pay.

Seeing Lu Gu stop, Yu Tieshan also breathed a sigh of relief. From the fight just now, he knew that if it came to a life-and-death struggle, he might not be a match for Lu Gu.

But the problem was, a cultivator’s abilities are not something an ordinary person who has learned a bit of dark arts could fathom. He didn’t know what other powerful techniques Lu Gu might have.

Moreover, if he used the Banished Immortal Sword Technique here, it would definitely attract the attention of other cultivators. That would be troublesome!

Seeing Lu Gu looking at him, Ye Xuan silently made up his mind. “Now is the moment!”

Thinking this, he activated a spell with a gesture of his hand. The next moment, a green totem pattern spread out from under his feet. The light from the pattern rose up and enveloped Hu Qian’er, who was still bound in the air by Ye Xuan.

“—!!!”

“Kid, you’re looking for death—!!!”

Seeing that Ye Xuan’s teleportation spell included only himself and Hu Qian’er, and not himself, Lu Gu couldn’t help but become furious. He waved his hand and a streak of green light flew towards Hu Qian’er. Although it was unclear what the green light was for, it was obvious that it was nothing good.

He didn’t attack Ye Xuan because he knew that given Ye Xuan’s character, even in the face of death, he wouldn’t stop casting the spell. If Ye Xuan were to escape, then he would be trapped.

However, this time, seeing the green light flying towards Hu Qian’er, Ye Xuan frowned but didn’t stop casting the spell. Instead, he moved to shield her with his own body.

“—!!!”

Hu Qian’er’s expression subtly changed, looking incredulously at Ye Xuan before her. She couldn’t understand why Ye Xuan would block her from the green light, which clearly seemed harmful.

The next moment, both Ye Xuan and Hu Qian’er were enveloped in a bright light and disappeared from everyone’s sight.

“Damn it—!!!” Watching this unfold, Lu Gu was unable to contain his fury. He turned to Yu Tieshan and said, “Kid, you know what you’ve done. Once the cultivators arrive, you’re dead. There’s no escape. If you want to live, listen to me—!!!”

“Uh… Yes—!”

Yu Tieshan clearly understood what Lu Gu meant. Could the cultivators really not see that he had taken over Hu Wanquan’s body? Although unsure of the full extent of a cultivator’s powers, he presumed they were beyond his challenge. Now he had no choice but to listen to Lu Gu.

“Think you can just leave? Do you really think the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion doesn’t exist, that you renegades can come and go as you please?!”

At that moment, however, a stern shout was heard, and several figures appeared in the sky above the Hu residence. These individuals were dressed in dark blue robes, not looking like typical cultivators, but they were all levitating, clearly not ordinary people.

“Heavenly Mandate Pavilion?!”

Yu Tieshan’s expression turned peculiar. Really? He had only killed one person; did it warrant the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion dispatching so many?

The Heavenly Mandate Pavilion, as legend had it, was a secretive organization of cultivators under the holy dynasty, rarely seen by ordinary folk or even government officials. But when malevolent cultivators stirred trouble, the agents of the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion would swarm in…

There they stood in the sky, several men and women, their robes fluttering without wind, each dressed in the distinctive dark blue uniform, looking exceptionally stern and formidable.

“Damn, they’ve really come—!!!”

Seeing the several cultivators in the sky, Lu Gu clenched his teeth in frustration. He knew they were here for him. If not for the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion restricting spatial spells, why would he have needed Ye Xuan’s help to escape…

Unfortunately, it had still ended in failure. This time, he was doomed, and so was Yu Tieshan, who had used a possession spell and would certainly not survive once discovered.

It was all Ye Xuan’s fault—!!!

But Ye Xuan, having been affected by his Ultimate Desire Devouring Gu, he chuckled, would not have an easy time either.
