Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Impossible, Was Ye Xuan Telling the Truth?

Watching the cultivators appear in the sky, the disciples of the Jade Fox Palace felt only profound sadness. Ye Xuan had ultimately succeeded. After paying such a high price, Hu Qian’er was finally saved. But was it really worth it for Ye Xuan? To save an innocent person, he suffered so much—what was the point?!

Others’ lives matter, but his own life mattered too!

It can only be said that this was all fate. If Ye Xuan had known this would be the outcome, he definitely would not have chosen this way to save Hu Qian’er. But once he decided to save her, he had already stepped onto a path of no return.

Fortunately, the heavens granted Ye Xuan a final act of mercy. If Hu Qian’er had died as well, Ye Xuan would have been filled with immense regret even in the underworld. One can only hope that in the underworld, Ye Xuan can reunite with Yu Ling’er, and in their next life, they might continue their past connection. It’s just unknown if their next life will be as Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er.

In the scene, several cultivators from Heavenly Mandate Pavilion arrived swiftly, looking at the situation below, the leader frowned slightly.

“Save her immediately–!”

“Yes–!”

At his command, several cultivators descended from the sky and approached Hu Qian’er. One of them spoke to Hu Qian’er: “Miss Hu, do not be afraid. We are cultivators from Heavenly Mandate Pavilion. We received a message and came specifically to rescue you and Mr. Ye.”

As he spoke, he gathered a spell in his hand and directed spiritual qi towards Hu Qian’er. The spiritual energy entered her body, and in the next moment, Hu Qian’er felt her body temperature rise significantly, no longer feeling the bone-chilling cold from before.

“Thank you.” Hu Qian’er said gratefully.

To her, these cultivators who had descended from the sky seemed almost radiantly dazzling. The image of receiving a chance to live in this desperate situation would likely be engraved in her heart for a lifetime. “No need to thank.”

After briefly restoring Hu Qian’er’s physical strength, his gaze turned towards Ye Xuan’s body encased in the ice. He furrowed his brow slightly. “It looks like Mr. Ye really loved you a lot.” He said to Hu Qian’er: “In my life, I have never seen such a devoted person…”

“Ah?!!” Hearing this, Hu Qian’er showed a face full of confusion.

“??!!” Not only Hu Qian’er, but the people of the Jade Fox Palace also wore puzzled expressions. What was happening? Why did the person from Destiny Tower Eighteen suddenly say that Ye Xuan suffered for Hu Qian’er?

“Senior, what are you saying, about him loving me or not loving me… Did you misunderstand something?” Hu Qian’er asked, confused.

“A person willing to sacrifice so much for you, even nourishing you with his flesh and blood to keep you alive, if it’s not because he loved you to the extreme, I can hardly imagine any other reason he would be willing to do these things for you,” said the cultivator from Heavenly Mandate Pavilion.

“Uh…” Hearing this, Hu Qian’er was even more puzzled.

“What nourishment with flesh and blood… what sacrifice so much, Senior, what are you really talking about?” she questioned.

The cultivator from Heavenly Mandate Pavilion slightly furrowed his brow and then said: “You really don’t know? He hasn’t explained it to you all this time?”

“Explain?” Hu Qian’er’s expression shifted slightly, as if she thought of something, yet also as if she hadn’t thought of anything.

“Explain what? He…”

“It seems he explained to you, but you didn’t believe him.” Seeing Hu Qian’er’s reaction, the cultivator furrowed his brow slightly: “If that’s the case, then Ye Xuan… is really too pitiful.”

“Senior… what, what are you really talking about?!!” Hu Qian’er felt somewhat uneasy under the gaze of the cultivator.

“Hehe, it’s hard to explain in just a few words, so take a look for yourself.”

The cultivator from Heavenly Mandate Pavilion spoke and then, with a gesture, cast a spell. Immediately, a mystical mirror appeared in the sky in front of him, and in the mirror, a scene appeared showing the moment Heavenly Mandate Pavilion arrived at the Hu residence.

“Lu Gu, you have harmed many, today, you shall not escape–!”

The cultivators from Heavenly Mandate Pavilion stood aloft in the air, their gazes cold, watching Lu Gu and Yu Tieshan below.

Yes, it was Yu Tieshan–!!

When Hu Qian’er saw the person in the scene, she widened her eyes in shock. She saw a person with a face identical to her father’s, but a sinister aura faintly radiated from him, altering his appearance to that of someone else. It was Yu Tieshan possessing her father’s body–!!!

“What–!!!” Yu Ling’er, witnessing the scene as if a ghost had taken over, was both shocked and terrified.

“Senior, what is that on my father?!!” She asked the cultivator in front of her.

The cultivator replied: “Can’t you see? Your father has died, and someone has used sorcery to possess his body. This person is Yu Tieshan, according to our investigation, he was your father’s junior brother and also Ye Xuan’s master…”

“He killed your father and possessed his body using sorcery. Of course, it was because your father attacked him first, which led to his retaliatory possession, essentially, your father brought this upon himself. However, after possessing your father’s body, his first target was to kill you.”

“Fortunately, Ye Xuan guessed his intentions and deliberately walked into his trap to let Yu Ling’er protect you. That’s why he didn’t get a chance to harm you…”

“Unfortunately, Yu Ling’er’s protection was too conspicuous, and he noticed. So he forced Yu Ling’er to commit suicide, otherwise, he would have killed you. Of course, he never planned to let you go.”

“No… no, this can’t be… this can’t be, my father… he’s dead–?!!!”

As the cultivator from Heavenly Mandate Pavilion explained, images of Ye Xuan’s previous explanations began to surface in Hu Qian’er’s mind. However, at the time, she did not believe Ye Xuan’s words, and her disdain for him only grew…

Now, even this senior is saying the same thing?!! Could it be that what Ye Xuan said was all true?!! No, how could this be possible, if all this is true, then, haven’t I really misunderstood Ye Xuan?
