Chapter 120: Ye Xuan is Truly Wronged

“Kid, you’ve really screwed me over—!!!” Seeing the disciples of the Hu household closing in, Lu Gu couldn’t help but panic.

He said to Ye Xuan, “What are you explaining now for? Just take her and run—!!! Once we’re out of the city, you can explain all you want.”

Hearing Lu Gu’s words, Ye Xuan pretended to be righteous and said, “Elder, isn’t it wrong to abduct a decent woman? Is that what a gentleman would do?”

“Ptui—!!!” Hu Qian’er couldn’t help but curse out loud, “You call yourself a gentleman?”

At this moment, in her eyes, Ye Xuan and this obviously no-good guy were bound to be captured.

“Ye Xuan, you scoundrel, why don’t you surrender now?!!” Yu Tieshan was surprised to see that Ye Xuan had actually escaped but was also somewhat frightened.

If Ye Xuan spoke out about his secret, it would be the end for him. Therefore, disregarding that Hu Qian’er was still in Ye Xuan’s grasp, he thrust his sword towards Ye Xuan.

Yu Tieshan’s sword was fast and accurate. Just a moment ago, Ye Xuan was still on guard, but in the next, the tip of the sword was only a foot away from Ye Xuan’s eyes. It was then that Lu Gu used his magic to block the attack aimed at Ye Xuan.

He said to Ye Xuan, “Cast the spell now, what are you waiting for?!!”

Ye Xuan, frowning, yelled out, “Hu Wanquan, your daughter is in my hands. Did you just try to kill me without considering your daughter’s life?!!”

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Yu Tieshan hesitated and dared not continue his attack. He had been rash, but now, if Ye Xuan had already shouted it out, and he still attacked without regard for Hu Qian’er’s life, it would surely raise suspicions.

However, at this moment, Hu Qian’er suddenly shouted, “Father, just attack, if I am unfortunate enough to die by this scoundrel’s hand, at least I can keep my chastity. If he takes me away, my purity will be lost—!!!”

“Uh...” Ye Xuan was taken aback. He was also somewhat surprised that Hu Qian’er would suddenly say such a thing. Wasn’t this giving Yu Tieshan a legitimate reason to kill her?!!

The longer they delayed, the worse it was for both Lu Gu and Yu Tieshan. Yet, both of them needed Ye Xuan—one wanted to use him, and the other wanted him dead.

“You do your best then.” Ye Xuan did not empathize with Lu Gu’s plight. He knew that ultimately, if Lu Gu got too frustrated, he would certainly kill Hu Qian’er.

He couldn’t wait for that to happen.

“Alright, I’ll try—!” Lu Gu, feeling helpless, attacked Yu Tieshan.

By now, he harbored murderous intentions towards Ye Xuan. This kid was too uncooperative—!!!

“Disciples, kill this scoundrel Ye Xuan—!!!” Yu Tieshan understood that Ye Xuan couldn’t stay any longer. Without hesitation, he ordered the Hu household disciples to attack Ye Xuan.

“But...” Seeing Hu Qian’er still in Ye Xuan’s hands, everyone hesitated.

“Don’t worry about Qian’er. It’s better she dies innocent than fall into the hands of this scoundrel—!!!” While fending off Lu Gu’s attacks, Yu Tieshan commanded.

“Yes—!!!” Upon hearing this, the disciples no longer hesitated and attacked Ye Xuan with their swords.

Seeing this, Hu Qian’er smirked triumphantly at Ye Xuan: “Ye Xuan, death can be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. Today, even if I die, I do so with honor—!”

“I honor your mom—!!!” At this, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but curse at Hu Qian’er.

The disciples of the Jade Fox Palace watched Hu Qian’er smirk triumphantly, each secretly cursing in their hearts. How could she not see that Ye Xuan was trying to protect her?!

It was truly unjust for Ye Xuan.
