Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness

Chapter 118: The Truth, Let Me Explain

“Ah–!!!”Crack, crack–!!!

The sounds akin to flesh and blood being restructured incessantly echoed through the cell. However, the terrifying noise was overshadowed by Ye Xuan’s screams of agony.Ye Xuan’s cries of pain, however, could not escape the confines of the small cell.

After an unknown amount of time, the Lu Gu finally stopped he’s actions. And due to the intense pain finally subsiding, Ye Xuan eventually passed out. Looking at Ye Xuan fainting on the ground, Lu Gu slightly curled his lips, a hint of wickedness in his gaze.

“It seems the matter of the Banished Immortal Sword Technique is true. This young man is indeed useful. If he willingly obeys me, I wouldn’t mind accepting him as my disciple.But, it all depends on whether he knows his place. Well then, let’s waste a bit more of the gu power to help him recover,” he muttered as he cast another spell on Ye Xuan.

However, this time, his magic was not as horrifying as before, which was akin to breaking all the bones in Ye Xuan’s body. Now, his magic was like a gentle stream, washing over Ye Xuan’s body, removing all his pain.

Within his unconscious state, Ye Xuan felt his body suddenly lighten, as if he was floating among the clouds.

“This…” Feeling his body, Ye Xuan pondered, “Could it be that I’m dead? Is that why I don’t feel pain anymore?”

“Kid, open your eyes, you’re not dead yet. It’s too early to meet your junior sister,” said Lu Gu, his voice reaching Ye Xuan’s ears.

He suddenly opened his eyes, looked at his hands, then at his legs, assessing his physical condition: “I’m healed?!!” He exclaimed excitedly, “I’m really healed… Sss–!!!”

His excitement caused him to move abruptly, pulling at his injuries and making him inhale sharply from the pain.

“Kid, a cultivator’s magic isn’t as miraculous as you imagine, it’s not omnipotent,” Lu Gu remarked, “I’ve only healed your basic injuries. Your body needs about a month to recover naturally. If you exert too much force during this month, you will bleed internally.”

“Yes, thank you for giving a new lease of life–!” Ye Xuan bowed in gratitude to Lu Gu.

“Hehe.” Hearing this, Lu Gu chuckled lightly and spoke, “Kid, I see you’re quite clever. I want to take you as my disciple, are you willing?”

“Take me as your disciple?” Ye Xuan was startled by the offer, then shook his head and said, “Senior, I apologize… I cannot accept you as my master.”

“Oh?” Hearing this, Lu Gu inquired, “Mortals would be thrilled if a cultivator offered to take them as a disciple, eager to kneel and accept on the spot. Why are you unwilling to accept me as your master?”

“Because I have already resolved to die.” Ye Xuan stated, “After I have my revenge, I will go meet junior sister Ling’er…”

“I see.” Nodding in understanding, Lu Gu responded, “Well, if you’re unwilling to become my disciple, I won’t force you. What you do is your own business, but I still need to teach you some techniques.”

“You mentioned earlier that your master has mastered the Banished Immortal Sword Technique. I’m not sure of his actual strength. The Banished Immortal Sword Technique is renowned, and I’m not confident I can win alone; I need your help.”

“I’ve never cultivated before, how can I learn magic?”

“There’s nothing you can’t learn.” Lu Gu said, “What’s called magic is merely a martial skill that communicates with the forces of heaven and earth. You already have a foundation of qi, as long as you’re not foolish, you can learn the techniques I teach you.”

“Understood, then please teach me, senior!” Ye Xuan nodded and bowed to Lu Gu.

Lu Gu began instructing Ye Xuan in the techniques, “Very well, listen carefully. The first technique I’m going to teach you is…”

As he said, the basic techniques he taught were indeed simple. Even those who had never cultivated could quickly learn as long as they had a qi foundation.

In less than half a day, Ye Xuan had almost mastered the techniques taught by him. To everyone in the Jade Fox Palace, Ye Xuan’s aptitude for cultivation was astonishingly impressive.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan was so formidable–!!!

These techniques, if they were to learn, might take them a month to master properly. It appears that Ye Xuan truly has extraordinary talent.

“Kid, I’ve already explained the plan to you.” After teaching Ye Xuan the techniques, Lu Gu discussed further plans on how to proceed. He asked Ye Xuan, “Do you have any questions?”

“No.” Ye Xuan said, “Senior, let’s act earlier rather than later—the sooner, the better–!”

According to Lu Gu’s plan, Ye Xuan needed to first capture Hu Qian’er and then lure out his master, Yu Tieshan, to the outskirts of the city to decide life and death, ensuring that innocents wouldn’t be involved.

To be honest, although Yu Ling’er had died and it seemed that Hu Qian’er was truly unharmed, Ye Xuan was still worried about her. After all, he could guess Yu Tieshan’s intentions.

He intentionally had Hu Qian’er tell him about Yu Ling’er’s death to make him understand the consequences of scheming against him. He sacrificed his life to save an innocent person, yet he was made to lose the person he loved most. This was meant to torment him.

So, after achieving his goal, whether Yu Tieshan would keep Hu Qian’er alive was really uncertain–Maybe next time, it would be Yu Tieshan himself coming to the prison to tell him that he had killed Hu Qian’er.

Thus, it was best not to delay too long.After all, Ye Xuan had seen firsthand what kind of person his master was.There are indeed people in this world who delight in evil.

Under Lu Gu’s leadership, Ye Xuan easily escaped the prison with him, and after leaving the prison, they headed towards the Hu residence.At that time, the night was deep.

Hu Qian’er was in her courtyard, mourning Yu Ling’er’s death. Although she had not known Yu Ling’er for long, she had already come to regard her as a sister…

In this short time, their relationship had grown incredibly close…Yet she had not expected Yu Ling’er to die for Ye Xuan. She couldn’t understand why Yu Ling’er would do such a thing. Just for Ye Xuan, was it really worth it?! The less she understood, the more she naturally hated Ye Xuan.

“Who–!!!” Suddenly, Hu Qian’er felt a disturbance beside her and turned to look, only to see a figure under the night sky, staring at her.

Who else could it be but Ye Xuan?!

“Ye Xuan, you escaped from prison?!” She said to Ye Xuan, and the next moment, her expression darkened, and murderous intent surged, “Since you’ve come to me willingly, today, I will take your vile life, so Ling’er can wait a little less on the Bridge of Helplessness–!!!”

Saying this, she didn’t hesitate and didn’t wait for Ye Xuan to respond before she attacked him.

At this moment, Hu Qian’er, with thousands of resentments against Ye Xuan, was extremely ruthless in her attack. Although Ye Xuan had been treated and was almost well, he still needed a month of recuperation. In a real fight, he might soon fall into Hu Qian’er’s hands.

Looking at Hu Qian’er’s face full of hatred, Ye Xuan felt a wave of helplessness. Immediately, he raised his hand, muttered a spell, and qi turned into a chain of magic that locked Hu Qian’er in midair as he pointed his finger.

“Go–!!” The next moment, Hu Qian’er was locked in the air by Ye Xuan’s magic chain.

“What is this?!!” Seeing this, Hu Qian’er was shocked. She struggled desperately in the air, but the chains formed by the spell were properly tensioned, and she could not break free no matter what.

“Very well, kid, now cast the teleportation spell I taught you immediately, and teleport the three of us out of the city,” said Lu Gu from behind Ye Xuan.His face showed impatience as he reminded Ye Xuan.

However, Ye Xuan did not act as he wished and make a move.Now that he had gained his freedom, he no longer wanted to put himself in uncontrollable situations as before.So, he directly said to Hu Qian’er, “Qian’er, listen to my explanation–!”

“Father, thieves have broken in, it’s Ye Xuan, he’s escaped from prison, come save me–!!!” Bound by Ye Xuan’s magic chains in the air, Hu Qian’er couldn’t struggle and suddenly shouted loudly. This shout was probably heard by the entire Hu residence. After shouting, Hu Qian’er looked at Ye Xuan with a smug expression:

“You think, with whatever strange sorcery you’ve learned, I would submit to you?Dream on–!!! Even if you kill me, it’s useless. Explain it to Ling’er in the underworld–!!!” Although she didn’t know why Ye Xuan would come here after escaping from prison, she guessed that Ye Xuan was here for revenge.

“It’s shameless of you to even show your face in front of me, I really hate that I didn’t kill you before–!!!” Saying this, hatred rose again in her eyes.
