Chapter 93

“Ha ha ha, Ye Xuan, I heard that in these years, you and Sister Ling’er have been cultivating in the mountains with Uncle Yu. You must have profound cultivation by now. Come, let me offer you a toast, brother. When you have time, you must show me your skills!”

The banquet was still going on, and a young man approached Ye Xuan with a smile on his face.

At this moment, Ye Xuan had already been toasted by them countless times.

On the surface, these fellows seemed warm and hospitable, each taking turns toasting Ye Xuan.

But if someone paid close attention, they would notice that they drank less, and Ye Xuan drank more.

Even if someone is a heavy drinker, how could they possibly outdrink so many people? Although Ye Xuan was displeased, considering his master’s dignity, he just played along with them, drinking as much as they poured.

After all, drinking to the point of collapsing here wasn’t a big deal. In his view, this was Master Hu Wanquan’s home, and with Master Yu Tieshan being brothers with his master, even if he collapsed from drinking, it wouldn’t matter…

“Brother… Are you okay?” Yu Ling’er whispered to Ye Xuan. At this moment, her eyes carried a bit of worry: “If you really can’t drink anymore, just stop… They seem to be deliberately getting you drunk.”

“Don’t worry, I’m not stupid.” Ye Xuan replied: “If I really can’t drink anymore, I’ll just lean on this table, or lie on the ground, what can they do to me?”

“Hmm.” Hearing this, Yu Ling’er nodded her head.

Indeed, brother wasn’t stupid; how could he not see that these guys were harboring bad intentions? “That’s good.”

While the younger generation enjoyed their drinks, Hu Wanquan and Yu Tieshan were also continuously clinking their cups.

“Brother, you really have a ruthless heart. For so many years, you didn’t even come to visit me.”

After downing a cup, Hu Wanquan said to Yu Tieshan.

“Ah, brother, please forgive me. In these years, I’ve achieved nothing and secluded myself in the mountains, not daring to see anyone. Unlike you, brother, who is rich and famous.”

“Hehe, what are you talking about, brother? Yours is mine, and if you say the word, I’ll share half of my wealth with you. What do you think?” Hu Wanquan laughed heartily.

“Ha ha ha… Brother, your kindness is too much for me to accept. How could I do such shameless things? Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. Brother, here’s to you.”

“Drink–!”

“Drink–!”

——

People in the Jade Fox Palace watched the banquet, whispering to each other.

“It seems that the master’s father from her previous life was a good man, look how nicely he treats his junior brother.”

“That’s right… offering half of his wealth just like that, all for his junior brother.”

“Our master must have been born into a good family in her past life, otherwise, how could she have this opportunity to become the master of our Jade Fox Palace in this life?”

“…”

Only Hu Qianzao, watching the scene, couldn’t help but feel a faint sense of familiarity.

“Could it be that the memories from my past life aren’t completely erased, affecting me now?” She frowned, contemplating.

Looking at Hu Wanquan in the scene, she felt a vague sense of kinship.

——

In the scene, everyone was enjoying their drinks when Hu Wanquan suddenly turned his gaze to Ye Xuan and laughed, saying, “By the way… Ye Xuan is still unmarried, right?”

Hearing this, everyone quieted down, and those who were trying to get Ye Xuan drunk turned their attention to their master.

Yu Tieshan replied: “Xuan’er is indeed still unmarried.”

“That’s really great.” Hu Wanquan laughed heartily: “My daughter Qian’er is also not betrothed to anyone, wouldn’t it be perfect for her to be with Xuan’er?!”

“–!!!”

Hearing this, many people became anxious.

Hu Qian’er quickly said: “Dad, I…”

“There, there, Qian’er, let your father decide, don’t interrupt.” Hu Wanquan saw his daughter’s reluctance, but he knew these matters were decided by adults, not up to her willingness.

“Humph–!!!” Hu Qian’er huffed angrily, glaring fiercely at Ye Xuan.

At the same time, Yu Ling’er, who was beside Ye Xuan, was naturally anxious. She hurriedly tugged at Ye Xuan’s sleeve, signaling him to quickly refuse.

Hu Wanquan’s disciples around them were also anxious…

How could their charming junior sister, who was also the master’s only daughter, a wealthy and noble lady, be married to this country bumpkin?!! They were still eyeing her. It was just that the junior sister had never looked up to them-!!!

Ye Xuan naturally also had an innocent look on his face. Although being suddenly told that such a beautiful girl was to be married to him would make any man happy, he had already made a promise to Yu Ling’er by his side.

Naturally, he could not agree. But, could he speak up at this moment?!! This was the master’s initiative.

As the woman’s family, if he outright refused, wouldn’t that be disrespectful to the master? This would certainly displease the master too. This matter could only be rejected by the master…

So, Ye Xuan turned his gaze towards his master, not interjecting. Seeing Ye Xuan’s reaction, Yu Ling’er showed a look of disappointment. The kind that gets a close-up shot…

——

“Uh…”

In the Jade Fox Palace, everyone was stunned by Hu Wanquan’s sudden move, all taken aback. What’s going on? Why did Hu Wanquan suddenly want to marry his daughter to Ye Xuan?

If this happens, doesn’t it mean that the palace master had a marriage contract with Ye Xuan in her previous life? Then why did she call Ye Xuan a thief and a little lecher, have him beaten up, and sent to prison?

Why didn’t Hu Wanquan and Yu Tieshan intervene in this matter? It can’t be that the palace master from her previous life didn’t want to marry Ye Xuan and deliberately slandered him, right? That’s absolutely impossible –!!!

They refuse to believe that their palace master from a previous life would be such a person of poor character. Absolutely not.

Only Yu Ling’er, seeing herself in the mirror with such an unbelieving look towards Ye Xuan, suddenly felt her face twitch.

Is it really so? Really so –!!!

Although she had guessed what the plot was like, seeing herself once again not believing in Ye Xuan, Yu Ling’er became anxious.

Could it be that in this life, she also left him because she didn’t believe in Ye Xuan?!! Oh my god, how much does she owe Ye Xuan –!!!

Qingxue, on the other hand, cast a sympathetic glance at Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er. It is said that in this world, there is a kind of couple called “Seven-Life Unfortunate Lovers”, who love each other for seven lifetimes but never have the chance to be together in any of them.

Could it be that Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er are such a couple?!

At this moment, the most puzzled person is Hu Qianzao. Because she feels that the scene in front of her seems familiar, as if she has seen it before.

She doesn’t know what’s going on–!!!
