Chapter 89: Such a Malicious Man

Watching the scene unfold, Ye Xuan revealed a somewhat strange smile and said to Hu Qianzao:

“I wonder, Jade Fox Palace Master, what is this situation? You claimed I treated you with cruelty and cold-bloodedness, but what I see now seems to be you ordering people to mistreat me—!”

“Uh…” Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Hu Qianzao became even more embarrassed. For a moment, she didn’t know how to respond to Ye Xuan properly.

After all, the spell was cast by herself, so there shouldn’t be any issues with it. Meaning, everything seen in the scene must be true. As for why such a scene appeared…

She said, “Just keep watching, and you’ll understand, hmph—!” She didn’t want to explain hastily now because the plot was different from all the scenarios she remembered. Explaining hastily and being contradicted later would be embarrassing.

———

“Beat him, beat him hard, hmph—!”

“Yes, Miss Hu—!” Following the command of the young lady, her servants hit even harder.

“You little seducer, thief, beat him to death, he deserves it—!!!” The young lady said with a face full of pride: “Somebody, cripple his legs—!”

“Yes—!!!” Following the command, a servant took a wooden stick and smashed it down hard on Ye Xuan’s legs.

“Ah—!!!” With a scream, Ye Xuan’s legs were broken…

———

Outside the scene, Yu Ling’er showed a look of compassion. Although she didn’t know the exact situation, she felt that this Ye Xuan was her brother Ye Xuan.

His demeanor hadn’t changed from the present.

It was still her brother Ye Xuan. But why was he treated as a thief, and how did he end up being brutally beaten here? When did this happen…

———

“Cough……”

Seeing this scene, the chief steward, Xing Yao, spoke up, “Big sister, do you think this could be the entanglement between you and Ye Xuan in a past life…”

Hearing this, Hu Qianzao began to ponder: “My past life… it’s indeed possible.”

Everything in this world has a spirit and enters the cycle of reincarnation. Except for demons or special beings like the dragon race, who enter reincarnation upon death.

Although she is now the lofty palace master of the Jade Fox Palace, she naturally had a past life too.

Whether she was male or female, good or evil, human or demon in her past life, she was unclear…

Therefore, the spell she cast might indeed have revealed the entanglements between her and Ye Xuan in their past lives.

However, past life entanglements have nothing to do with her. Who could possibly manage affairs from so many past lives—!!!!

“I never expected Ye Xuan to have been a little seducer in his past life.”

“And a thief.”

“Well beaten—!!!”

“I knew it, how could our palace master ever do such a thing as to bully others.”

“No, even in her past life, the palace master wouldn’t have bullied others; it turns out she was teaching a thief and seducer a lesson.”

“Ha ha… I really got scared for a moment there.”

The disciples of the Jade Fox Palace cheered as they watched Ye Xuan getting his legs broken in the scene.

“Such a person deserves it—!!!”

“An evildoer in his past life, still an evildoer in his reincarnation, this Ye Xuan is truly wicked.”

“That’s why this world needs us cultivators to uphold justice, to prevent these evildoers from prevailing.”

“Hmph, if it were me there, I would have crushed his bones on the spot–!”

“…”

Obviously, the disciples of the Jade Fox Palace also grew to despise the Ye Xuan seen in the scene.

———

“Take this little seducer to the authorities–!” After breaking Ye Xuan’s legs, that Miss Hu ordered her servants.

“Yes–!!”

Soon, Ye Xuan was taken by Miss Hu to report to the authorities and was thrown into jail.

———

“Ha ha ha ha.”

“Evil begets evil.”

“Looks like he is going to spend his life in jail.”

“Our palace master in her past life was still too kind, if it were me, I would have castrated him–!!!”

The most satisfying thing in the world is to see the wicked receive their deserved punishment.

At this moment, to everyone in the Jade Fox Palace, Ye Xuan was seen as a tremendous villain, a tremendous villain. Him having his legs broken and being thrown into jail naturally felt very gratifying.

The only one not pleased at the scene was probably Yu Ling’er. She instinctively felt that there must be some misunderstanding here, but she also knew that speaking up for Ye Xuan now would only make her the butt of jokes.

She turned to Ye Xuan and whispered, “Brother Ye Xuan, whether or not this was your past life, I believe there must be some misunderstanding here. Maybe, later on, this palace master of the Jade Fox Palace will also beg for your forgiveness.”

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly. It seems Yu Ling’er has watched too many scripts, and she has figured out his patterns.

Hu Qianzao’s fox ears twitched, revealing a look of disdain, “Me, beg forgiveness from this heartless and unrighteous man? Even if I, Hu Qianzao, were to die, my hatred for him would be etched deep into my bones—!”

“Yu Ling’er, you are too naive, Ye Xuan is definitely not a good person. He is just a heartless and unfeeling man… How could a truly good person bear to do such cruel things?”

“I’m not talking to you right now.” Yu Ling’er responded, “You’ll know later what I mean, don’t regret it.”

What kind of person is Elder Qingxue? The leader of the Taihua Sword Saints, didn’t she end up begging Ye Xuan for forgiveness?

Although you are the prestigious master of the Jade Fox Palace, and your status might be somewhat higher than Elder Qingxue’s, you are much younger than her. If you don’t end up begging for forgiveness later, I, Yu Ling’er, will take your surname—!!!

Seeing Yu Ling’er’s unyielding attitude, Hu Qianzao felt secretly annoyed. She had good intentions in advising her, but this foolish girl wouldn’t listen.

Heh, even a fool knows, a person who, without any grievance or grudge, wants to extract someone’s inner pill and even turn them into a puppet, just how malicious their true intentions must be.

How could someone capable of such malice be a good person? How could they possibly have a sincere heart? Thinking this, she said to Yu Ling’er: “Fine, just watch, when you see what he’s done later, you’ll be the one who’s upset—!!!”

Yu Ling’er stopped talking, knowing that at times like this, no one could persuade the other. However, the disciples of the Jade Fox Palace looked at Ye Xuan with even greater hostility.

Although most of them did not know the specifics, Hu Qianzao had informed them of the cause and outcome of this operation. They also knew about the excessive things the future Ye Xuan did to their palace master.

Such matters, the palace master certainly wouldn’t lie about. Seeing Yu Ling’er so trusting of Ye Xuan must mean Yu Ling’er has been deceived by his outward appearance. What a malicious man he is.
