Chapter 128: Could You Have Mistaken Something?

At this moment, Hu Qian’er was overwhelmed by too much information. Her father was dead? Yu Tieshan had possessed her father’s body and even intended to harm her? Ye Xuan voluntarily walked into Yu Tieshan’s trap to save her? It was Yu Tieshan who forced Yu Ling’er to die?! Was everything Ye Xuan said before true?!!!

Ah, this–!!!

At this moment, her mind was completely muddled. Each piece of information was an unbelievable change for her. She couldn’t even grasp what she should really be focusing on right now. Now, no matter how incredulous she was, was everything Ye Xuan said true? Was her father really dead?

Seeing Hu Qian’er like this, the cultivator from Heavenly Mandate Pavilion sighed softly, then changed the spell. The scene in the mirror moved forward in time to several days ago, showing Yu Tieshan talking with Hu Wanquan under the moonlight at night.

He began, “You might want to watch from the beginning; otherwise, no matter how I explain it, you probably won’t believe me.”

Although Hu Qian’er’s mind was in turmoil, she continued to watch the scene unfold.

——–

“What kind of spell is this?”

A disciple of the Jade Fox Palace asked someone beside them, “Why does it feel so similar to our palace master’s spell?”

“This is Mystical Beginnings Technique.” Someone answered, “It seems that this cultivator from Heavenly Mandate Pavilion is a disciple of Taihua. I heard that Taihua disciples practice a kind of Mystical Beginnings Technique, derived from the Former Dust Mirror. It can recreate past events through some mediums… This technique is indeed magical.”

“However, compared to our palace master’s spell, it still falls short; this can only trace back a few days.”

“Right.”

“That’s not necessarily the case; if the medium retains enough spiritual power and the opportunity is right, not just a few days ago, but even events from a hundred years ago can be retraced by this technique.”

“Wow, is it that powerful?”

“Of course… Unfortunately, unlike the Former Dust Mirror, the Mystical Beginnings Technique doesn’t recreate actual scenes but just some images from the past, so the scenes seen may not be real, they could be illusions. Therefore, this technique can only be used to trace clues, and facts still need to be discerned by individuals.”

“Oh? That’s still quite impressive.”

As everyone discussed, the scenes within the mirror continued.

——–

Hu Qian’er quietly watched what was happening in the mirror. In the scene, Yu Tieshan was suddenly knocked unconscious by her father’s palm. Then, her father carried Yu Tieshan out of the city, revealing the truth that he had killed the master and framed Yu Tieshan.

When she realized that her father was truly a bad person, Hu Qian’er was shocked, her eyes filled with disbelief. Just as her father was about to kill Yu Tieshan, Ye Xuan jumped out to save him. However, it turned out that Yu Tieshan had always hidden his depth well.

The real murderer of the master was himself, and his strength was much greater than her father’s. The two clashed, creating a huge ravine in the mountains. But it was her father who lost…

Seeing her father truly die at the hands of Yu Tieshan, Hu Qian’er couldn’t help but shed tears of grief. Although her father was a bad person, he was still her father!!!

However, her father had already died long ago, killed by Yu Tieshan. Yu Tieshan had possessed her father’s body, intending to kill Ye Xuan, who knew the truth. But no matter how he searched, he couldn’t find Ye Xuan, who had hidden away.

Later, when Ye Xuan returned to the Hu residence, he was found by Yu Tieshan, who, posing as Hu Wanquan, deliberately praised Ye Xuan. Moreover, he tried to make Ye Xuan act in a way that would make Yu Ling’er hate him, intending to have Yu Ling’er for himself…

“Shameless–!!!” Watching Yu Tieshan control his father’s corpse to do such shameless acts, Hu Qian’er couldn’t help but curse aloud.

“Miss Hu, although what Yu Tieshan does is shameless, the actions… are exactly what your father planned to do.” At this moment, a cultivator from the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion spoke to Hu Qian’er.

“Uh…”Upon hearing this, Hu Qian’er felt somewhat embarrassed.

Yes, she had been so preoccupied with her grief that she had forgotten that her father also had designs on Yu Ling’er.

Then, she continued, seeing that Ye Xuan, knowing it was a trap, deliberately fell into it, following the arrangements of Yu Tieshan—not her father, but Yu Tieshan—going to her mother’s concubine’s room in the middle of the night.

However, the technique used was far inferior to Hu Qianzao’s techniques; this technique allowed only one perspective, and lacked any inner monologue.

Even seeing this, Hu Qian’er couldn’t understand the purpose behind Ye Xuan’s actions…

From what Ye Xuan had done so far, there was no hint of him helping her. Yet, recalling what Ye Xuan had previously said, Hu Qian’er guessed some of the truth. Seeing herself leading people to brutally beat Ye Xuan, she felt some regret.

If what Ye Xuan said was true, then she shouldn’t have treated him that way. However, regret was just regret, and it didn’t touch her deeply. After all, the emotional engagement of the technique used was too weak.

Until a scene appeared:

“Ling’er, it seems you already know the truth,” Yu Tieshan said to Yu Ling’er, “I am giving you a choice now: either you die, or I will kill Hu Qian’er. You decide–!”

Yu Ling’er, tears streaming down her face, prepared a will in her room, determined to pass on a message to Ye Xuan no matter what.

Every word, every sentence, was her farewell to Ye Xuan.

“No–!!!” When Hu Qian’er saw this scene, she began to feel true sorrow.

She had developed real friendship with Yu Ling’er. Seeing Yu Ling’er willing to kill herself for her, tears welled up in her eyes. So, Yu Ling’er wasn’t dying for Ye Xuan, but for her?!

And it was because Ye Xuan asked her to protect herself that she was willing to make such a sacrifice. Yet, she had been blaming Ye Xuan–!!!

The scene ended there.

The cultivator from the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion then said to Hu Qian’er, “Miss Hu, I believe that after seeing this, you should understand that Ye Xuan likes you, otherwise he wouldn’t have done all this for you, enduring all insults and mockery with a willing heart.”

——–

“Uh…” Watching the scene unfold, everyone in the Jade Fox Palace was upset.

Not… How did you come to that conclusion, brother–!!!

Where does it show Ye Xuan liking Hu Qian’er, don’t just randomly ship them–!!!
