Chapter 119: Calling You Foolish, and You Still Won’t Believe

Hu Qian’er stared at Ye Xuan with a face full of hatred, the woman he had desperately saved. To save her, even Yu Ling’er had sacrificed her life. However, at this moment, Ye Xuan faced her hateful and scornful gaze.

Honestly, Ye Xuan also felt uncomfortable. Human hearts are not made of iron. Ye Xuan knew he was doing the right thing and that the other party didn’t understand the truth and would naturally hate him, which was to be expected.

But…

The hateful look in her eyes still felt like needles in Ye Xuan’s heart.

After Hu Qian’er finished shouting, Ye Xuan spoke calmly, “Are you willing to listen to my explanation now?”

“What more is there to explain at this point?” Hu Qian’er scoffed, “I’m telling you, no matter what your motives are, you won’t escape death today—my father will be here soon—!”

“Is that so?” Ye Xuan remained composed and said, “Qian’er, your father has long been dead, taken over by my master. He has always wanted your life; it was me who asked Ling’er to protect you. When my master found out, he forced Ling’er to kill herself, or else he would have killed you…”

“Uh…??” Hu Qian’er looked at Ye Xuan with disdain and coldly said, “Haha, my father is dead? Taken over by your master? He forced Ling’er to die, otherwise, he would kill me? What are you even talking about? You think… I would believe you?”

————

In the scene, Hu Qian’er’s dismissive look and tone made everyone outside the scene in the Jade Fox Palace incredibly angry. They really wanted to jump into the scene and slap the previous incarnation of their palace master.

Ye Xuan was clearly trying to help her, but why couldn’t she understand? However, as much as they thought this, everyone knew…

Hu Qian’er didn’t know the truth. In her eyes, Ye Xuan was the scoundrel who tried to force himself on her father’s concubine. Because of Ye Xuan, Yu Ling’er was heartbroken and driven to despair.

Because of Ye Xuan, she also lost face and was the subject of gossip when she went out. So, she had reasons to hate Ye Xuan.

But why couldn’t she just listen to Ye Xuan’s explanation? Is listening to his explanation really that hard?!

“Why does Ye Xuan still bother to explain when he knows Hu Qian’er won’t listen to him?” someone said.

“Yes… this kind of thing, explanations won’t work.”

“Unless Hu Qian’er sees the truth with her own eyes.” Some were annoyed at Hu Qian’er for being foolish, but others defended her.

“Yeah, think about it, if it were us, we wouldn’t believe it either,” someone said.

“That’s true… Ye Xuan used to be so clever, why is he being foolish now, still trying to explain at this time? He should just use the teleport spell to take Hu Qian’er out of the city first.”

“Hahaha…” Hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but laugh: “You fools, what nonsense are you talking about?!”

“What did you say?!!” Hearing Ye Xuan calling them fools, those disciples from the Jade Fox Palace showed faces full of anger. They were only sympathetic to the Ye Xuan in the scene, not this one who had harmed their palace master.

“I said, you fools, what nonsense are you talking about?” Ye Xuan continued, “At this point, anyone who isn’t blind can see that Ye Xuan’s aim isn’t to explain things to Hu Qian’er, but rather to buy time. Can’t you see?”

“What? Ye Xuan is deliberately buying time?”

“Why?” Those few asked curiously.

“What does he need time for?”

“Oh, heavens.” Ye Xuan shook his head helplessly and said, “He’s intentionally waiting for others to learn about what’s happening here. Do you really think that Ye Xuan would do everything that malicious Lu Gu tells him to?”

“Who knows what might happen once they leave the city—!!! I say you’re foolish, and you won’t even admit it—!!! Can’t you understand something so simple?”

“Uh…” Upon hearing this, those Jade Fox Palace disciples wore embarrassed expressions. Was that so? They looked around at their fellow disciples to see what they thought.

But those Jade Fox Palace disciples had already learned their lesson; at this time, they naturally believed whatever Ye Xuan said.

So, they all adopted an air of profundity and said, “Indeed, at this moment, the best choice for Ye Xuan is to buy time. As long as he manages to delay until a cultivator from the Immortal Order of Justice arrives, he has a chance to prove his innocence.”

“That’s right.” Another person nodded, appearing to have understood as well, “Ye Xuan really doesn’t need to flee. If he really listened to Lu Gu and left Jianghua City, then whatever Lu Gu wishes to do later would be possible.”

While they were talking—

————

“Boy, cast the teleportation spell—NOW!!!” Lu Gu seemed a bit anxious as he spoke to Ye Xuan.

However, Ye Xuan still did not comply. Because he understood that Lu Gu was definitely not a good person.

If he completely followed Lu Gu’s instructions, not only would he not get his revenge, but he would likely end up as just a tool for Lu Gu. Lu Gu’s true intent was definitely not to help him seek revenge—!

————

“Uh…” Hearing Ye Xuan’s inner thoughts, those aware of Ye Xuan’s intentions were taken aback. They hadn’t expected the past Ye Xuan to think this way. At this moment, he would rather pin his hopes on the Immortal Order of Justice, which he had never seen before, than trust Lu Gu who had saved him.

Was that really wise? Could he be so sure that Lu Gu was not a good person? Wasn’t that a bit too rash?

Just then, a stern shout rang out from within the Hu residence: “Who dares to intrude into my Hu residence and plot wrongdoing—!!!”

The next moment, Yu Tieshan, with sword in hand, rushed over. Accompanied by him were numerous disciples of the Hu residence.

Each one of them had exceptional skills; they leaped and flew, covering distances of dozens of meters in the blink of an eye, quickly surrounding Ye Xuan and Lu Gu.

The sudden appearance of these figures, agile and swift, brought an immediate sense of danger. Now, Ye Xuan and Lu Gu were encircled, facing the looming threat of the Hu residence’s master and his skilled disciples.
