Chapter 113: A Brave Man Sheds Tears, Ye Xuan is Innocent

“Anyone who speaks of tonight’s incident will not be spared by me—!” With that command from Hu Wanquan, whose body was taken over by Yu Tieshan. Ye Xuan’s martial abilities were disabled, and he was locked up in the firewood shed. At this moment, he was less than an ordinary person, lying quietly in the firewood shed, not uttering another sound. Images from the past surfaced in his mind. Yu Tieshan breaking his martial bones with a palm strike, Yu Ling’er’s pale face, unable to bear seeing him in pain, and Hu Qian’er looking at him with deep-seated hatred.

“Was it really worth it to save someone unrelated to me, causing Ling’er to worry about me... and now I’ve become disabled?” In the dead of night, looking at the beams of the firewood shed, such a question inevitably arose in Ye Xuan’s mind.

“She even hates me to the bone...”

Hearing Ye Xuan’s inner thoughts, those present from the Jade Fox Palace also couldn’t help but feel the same. Yes, even though Ye Xuan saved Hu Qian’er, she looked down on him and even hated him to the bone. Although it wasn’t Hu Qian’er’s fault, for Ye Xuan, it was his life-saving actions that were repaid with deep hatred. That was the reality. Even if someone is willing to sacrifice themselves to save others, when the person they save not only doesn’t appreciate it but also detests them...

Does he really still have the courage to stick to his convictions?

“Ye Xuan must be regretting it now?”

“To be honest... even I would regret it in this situation. Helping others is not always about getting something in return, but being hated by the person you risked your life to save is just too painful.” Thus spoke the people of the Jade Fox Palace, all turning their eyes towards Hu Qianzao. Their palace lord from a past life really owed Ye Xuan’s past life a lot.

“...”

Seeing everyone looking at her, Hu Qianzao, who was feeling sorrowful for the past Ye Xuan, couldn’t help feeling speechless:

“Don’t all look at me, I didn’t do this—!!!” Clearly, she had accepted the fact that her past life indeed owed a lot to Ye Xuan. It was her who caused Ye Xuan such immense grievance—!!!

Thinking this, she felt an inexplicable sense of indebtedness. Was it because of the debts her past life owed that Ye Xuan came to collect in this life? No, that’s impossible—!!! The affairs of a past life, after all, were just that, unrelated to her present self. With this thought, she took a deep breath.

Her gaze then returned to the scene within the image. Ye Xuan must have regretted it... He surely felt that doing these things was not worth it.

“Is it worth it?” Ye Xuan asked himself, and then, with a resolved expression, affirmed: “It is worth it, very worth it... Living a life, just a mere hundred years, in this limited time, doing what I want to do, that is what makes it worthwhile—! I do not want to spend the rest of my life regretting not saving an innocent person, even if saving them might cost me my own life. But, it is still worth it—!!!”

“—!!!” Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the people of the Jade Fox Palace looked up to him in admiration. Ye Xuan, he had no regrets. Even more, his attitude became even firmer than before. In this world, there are many who do good deeds, but those like Ye Xuan, who sacrifice without regret, are indeed few. Ye Xuan should not have to endure such injustice... All he did was because he couldn’t bear to see Hu Qian’er harmed.

“Listen, daughter, the worst people in the world are these kinds of lechers; they are best at tarnishing a girl’s reputation. We must not be soft on such people.” The aunt told the little girl.

“I know, mom—!” The little girl, holding an egg, threw it at Ye Xuan’s face.

Crack, the egg burst on his face.

“Good—!!!” Countless people cheered around them.

And Ye Xuan, facing the ridicule, disdain, thrown rotten vegetables, and the accusations and contempt from the crowd, even a man as resolute as him couldn’t help but show a trace of tears in his eyes.

He didn’t blame these people, but he felt deeply wronged.

He hadn’t done anything wrong, yet why was he being treated like this?

“Yo? You still have the face to cry?!” At that moment, Hu Qian’er approached Ye Xuan, speaking with pride:

“Little pervert... dreaming of marrying me, grandma—! This is exactly what you deserve—!!!”

“—!!!” Watching the scene in the image where countless people cheered, Hu Qian’er mocked, and Ye Xuan helplessly shed tears.

In the Jade Fox Palace, some sentimental young girls couldn’t hold back their tears.

“Don’t bully him, he is innocent—!!!”

“Wuu, Ye Xuan is so pitiful—!!!”

Even some male disciples of the Jade Fox Palace couldn’t help shedding tears.

Ah, Ye Xuan, why did it have to end like this? The palace lord of the past really committed sins.
