Chapter 141

*Pfft*!

Seeing Hu Qianzao starting to feel guilty, Ye Xuan almost burst out laughing. However, he held it in. Then, he chuckled inwardly…

It seemed that the temperament of this Jade Fox Palace Master wasn’t much different. He thought she was a tricky fox spirit, more difficult to deal with than Yu Ling’er and Qingxue.

Ah, he overestimated her. In Hu Qianzao’s script, she actually didn’t do anything wrong. She didn’t know herself, so whatever she did, like admiring flowers or taking a boat ride, was her own business.

Where was there any talk of owing anyone? But now, the script was in his hands, and if he said that her going to admire flowers with that scholar was unfair to him, then it was unfair. Could she argue back?!

She couldn’t at all. As long as the plot was well laid out beforehand, even if he said it was wrong for her to step into the house with her left foot first, then she was wrong.

And now, it was obvious that Hu Qianzao’s script was completely in his hands. The same unchangeable plot, in everyone’s eyes, had completely different meanings.

———

“No, Ye Xuan, now is not the time to be sad. Even if she has forgotten you, or even if she no longer loves you, you can’t give up.”

Ye Xuan pushed aside his sadness, looking determined. He muttered to himself, “Since you made her fall in love with you once, you can definitely make her fall in love with you a second time. Let’s go!”

With that, he quickened his pace towards the Fuxiang Garden. In the Fuxiang Garden, it was the season of blooming flowers, and there were many celebrities and literati coming and going. The Hundred Flowers Festival specially held by the Emperor was naturally extraordinary.

If you were lucky, you could even catch a glimpse of the Emperor’s true appearance here. As Liu Yuan led Hu Qianzao around the garden, he introduced the names and characteristics of the flowers in the garden.

However, Hu Qianzao was already annoyed by the chattering guy beside her. She was thinking about how to get rid of this guy. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her.

“It’s you—!!!” Seeing Ye Xuan suddenly appear in front of her, Hu Qianzao couldn’t help but look surprised. “How did you get out?”

“You, you rascal—!!!” The scholar looked at Ye Xuan with anger. He was just having a pleasant conversation with this girl, and maybe after a while, he would take the opportunity to confess to her, and then they would be engaged.

Now this guy jump out?!!

“How did you get out? Did you… escape?!”

Ye Xuan ignored the scholar in front of him and said to Hu Qianzao, “Miss, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ye Xuan, a disciple of the Taihua Immortal Sect.”

“Oh?!” Hearing this, Hu Qianzao’s eyes lit up. “The Taihua Immortal Sect, I’ve heard of it. It’s the top immortal sect in the world today…”

Saying that, she looked at Ye Xuan with a hint of disdain, “Since you’re from the righteous path, why did you do such a despicable thing as molesting a respectable girl?”

“Uh…” Seeing Hu Qianzao’s disdainful look, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but smile bitterly. “I’ve already explained the reason. It’s just that you didn’t believe me… How about this, our Taihua Immortal Sect has a spell called the Dream Technique, which can reveal a person’s past. If you let me use this spell on you, you’ll understand that I’m not lying.”

“Hmph, how dare you—!” Hearing Ye Xuan say he wanted to use the Dream Technique on her, Hu Qianzao said, “Who knows what sinister intentions you have? Saying you want to see someone’s past, who knows what you really want to see.”

“Uh…”

Hearing this, Ye Xuan said, “Miss, the Dream Technique is a righteous spell, absolutely not used for dirty purposes… You’re overthinking it.”

“Who knows.” Hu Qianzao looked at Ye Xuan’s frustrated expression and felt secretly delighted. She didn’t know why, but she felt like she enjoyed seeing him frustrated.

She didn’t know if she had some grudge against him from their past lives. She hadn’t heard of the Dream Technique, but in this world of myriad techniques, there wasn’t actually any spell that directly revealed others’ past secrets.

However, there were some spells that could manipulate people’s minds…

“Miss Hu, although he is a disciple of the Taihua Immortal Sect, the things he did are not what a righteous disciple should do. It’s a disgrace to the reputation of our sect. Let’s not talk to him.”

At this moment, Liu Yuan said to Hu Qianzao, “Let’s go over there and look at the flowers.”

Hu Qianzao was originally annoyed by this scholar, but seeing that Ye Xuan seemed to like her, she felt inexplicably joyful. So, she said to the scholar, “Okay, let’s go.”

“Please, miss.” With that, the scholar led Hu Qianzao away. And Ye Xuan was left embarrassed alone here.

———

In the scene, Ye Xuan was once again embarrassed. But outside the scene, everyone was indignant on behalf of Ye Xuan. The male and female disciples of the Jade Fox Palace cast resentful glances at Hu Qianzao.

“Palace Master, don’t you think you’re being too much? You clearly don’t really dislike him. You clearly still like him, but you’re deliberately teasing him—!!!”

“It’s too much—!!!”

Hearing this, Hu Qianzao felt even more embarrassed. At that time, she did have a special feeling for Ye Xuan, but she didn’t know she liked him.

And even if she really liked Ye Xuan or fell in love with him at first sight, she didn’t know about the things that happened between her and Ye Xuan. She didn’t know she owed Ye Xuan…

What’s wrong with teasing a man who pursued her when she didn’t know these things? This was just teasing him and keeping him interested. Many seniors in the Jade Fox Palace did this. Why was she being blamed by everyone?

It’s so unfair—!!!

However, although she felt a bit wronged in her heart, seeing Ye Xuan in the scene, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. All the happy moments they had before their reincarnation were gone from the scene.

All that was left was Ye Xuan standing there embarrassed, watching the person he liked leave him aside. At that moment, Ye Xuan’s heartache was beyond words.

Ye Xuan: That’s right, I feel sorry for myself.
