Chapter 101: The Tables Have Turned, How Awkward Now

“Er…”

At this moment, in the Jade Fox Palace, everyone was silent. They looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion. It was truly unbelievable — shock –!!!

Just moments ago, they were all talking about how Yu Tieshan was not a good person, and Hu Wanquan was highly respected.

But now, Hu Wanquan’s expression suddenly turned cold, and his words left everyone momentarily unable to react.

——

“Has Hu Wanquan turned evil?!!”

“Is he… is he joking?!”

“Er… Can you joke about something like this?”

After someone said this in shock, everyone quieted down again. Their eyes were glued to the scene, and they couldn’t help but swallow nervously.

Even Qingxue and Yuling’er were incredulous. Even they had not expected Hu Wanquan to turn evil. They had only thought there might have been some misunderstanding…

But the reality was this?!!

This was not just a turn to darkness; it was a complete reversal!!! At this moment, Yuling’er became somewhat excited. The story was finally taking a turn — the reversal had begun –!!!

Since Hu Wanquan was not a good person, perhaps what Ye Xuan did afterward could be explained.

Of course, the story had not been confirmed yet, so she didn’t want to speak prematurely. Anyway, she remembered all the sarcastic comments made by the people in the Jade Fox Palace. Soon, she planned to return them all –!!!

——

“Senior brother… what are you saying, I seem to… not quite understand?!!” Upon hearing Hu Wanquan’s shocking revelation, Yu Tieshan was naturally surprised, but after his initial shock, he quickly reacted.

His eyes shifted, and he pretended to be completely clueless, asking Hu Wanquan.

“Hehe… at this time, junior brother, it’s pointless to play dumb with your senior brother. Do you think by playing dumb, I’ll let you go? Since I’ve chosen to act, you’re destined to die today.” Hu Wanquan sneered and continued:

“When our master took us both as disciples, he favored your talent and planned to pass on the Banishee Immortal Sword Manual to you, and even wanted to marry junior sister to you.

“How could I just stand by and watch? So, while that old man, our master, was injured, I gave him a stab in the back with your sword.”

“Of course, I used your sword, and I deliberately left a fake Banished Immortal Sword Manual beside master’s body. I knew that with your greed, you would definitely quietly take the manual!!!”

“But what I didn’t expect was that you would take the fake manual and still argue your way out of it. Junior sister, so blind, was still willing to leave with you under suspicion of patricide!!!”

“Luckily, she didn’t understand the Banished Immortal Sword Manual; otherwise, you would’ve discovered the manual in your hands was fake long ago.”

“You wouldn’t have wasted so many years practicing the Banished Immortal Sword Technique, causing your cultivation to regress instead of progressing, making you no match for me now!”

“I suppose, over the years, you must have doubted whether the manual was fake, right? Otherwise, why would junior sister, so young, have died so early?!! Did you murder her?!”

“–!!!” Upon hearing this, Yu Tieshan’s expression changed drastically, “Senior brother, you… you misunderstood… Junior sister just died early due to a premature birth.”

“Hehe.” Hu Wanquan laughed, “We, as brothers, know each other too well. I’m not a good person, and neither are you.”

“However, I was bad in the shadows, and you were worse in the dark, even worse than me. At least… I was sincere to junior sister. If she had married me, I would never have harmed her.”

“No, I absolutely did not harm junior sister–!!!” Upon hearing this, Yu Tieshan shook his head and said, “Senior Brother… since you’ve made it so clear, I’m probably doomed today, so let me be frank with you. Junior Sister has long known that everything was your scheme.”

“I took the Banished Immortal Sword Manual and Junior Sister knew about it too. She married me just so that I would desperately practice the sword technique in order to one day settle accounts with you—!!!”

“Senior Brother, you’re truly ruthless. I knew you took the sword technique, and I would definitely not be your opponent, so I’ve been hiding from you and didn’t seek revenge. But I didn’t expect that after so many years, I would still fall into your hands.”

“But I don’t understand, why did you suddenly want to make a move against me—!!! Over the years, although I haven’t had much contact with you, at least on the surface, we didn’t have any grudges, right?!!”

“Is that so?!” Hearing this, Hu Wanquan couldn’t help but relax his eyebrows, then continued, “So that’s how it is. I thought Junior Sister was so blind, knowing that you were suspected of patricide and still willing to be with you.”

“Now it seems that it’s because my plan was exposed. In this way, I didn’t lose to you after all. I really have to thank you for letting me know about this.”

“As a return, now that you’ve asked, of course, I should answer why I suddenly wanted to make a move against you. Because… I found that your daughter looks a lot like Junior Sister, and moreover, she’s prettier than her—!” As he spoke, a wicked light shone in Hu Wanquan’s eyes.

Yu Tieshan exclaimed in shock, “What… what do you mean? What are you planning to do to Ling’er—!!!”

“Actually, it’s nothing much.” Hu Wanquan said, “Think about it, if Ling’er suddenly loses her father, loses her support, and I take good care of her, do you think she will fall in love with me?” Saying so, his lips curled into a cold smile.

“What her mother owed me, let her pay it back.”

“Hu Wanquan, you beast—!!!” Hearing this, Yu Tieshan couldn’t help but curse Hu Wanquan out loud.

And Ye Xuan, who was hiding in the dark, also showed a look of rage.

——

In the Jade Fox Palace, everyone also showed a look of anger. Goodness, who would have thought that Hu Wanquan had such an idea?!!

“Just now, who said that Yu Tieshan doesn’t look like a good person?” At this moment, Yuling’er finally had a chance to speak.

She understood that worrying about what has already happened wouldn’t help. Now, the only thing she had to do was to slap those who had just been sarcastic about Ye Xuan hard in the face for him.

“Who said that Hu Wanquan is a highly respected person?”

“Err…”

Hearing this, everyone in the Jade Fox Palace became awkward.

Yuling’er’s gaze then turned to Hu Qianzhao, her face full of mockery, “Just now, who said that Ye Xuan, like his master, couldn’t possibly be wronged, and there must be no misunderstanding?!”

Hu Qianzhao’s face became even more awkward.

I mean, what’s going on here? The Hu Wanquan who looked like a good person turned out to be a super villain.

And Ye Xuan’s master, who seemed cold and sinister, turned out to be a good person?!!

Alright, she was so sure earlier that Ye Xuan, like his master, wouldn’t be wronged. Now, isn’t this a face slap?! And it’s a loud one at that—!!!

His master was wronged, and his senior uncle is the bad guy. Just now, they were all praising Hu Wanquan, while also using Yu Tieshan’s case to be sarcastic about Ye Xuan.

Now, isn’t this awkward—!!!
