Chapter 161: Please, Forgive Me

Qingxue and Yu Ling’er provoked her with words, merely to make Hu Qianzao understand Ye Xuan’s virtues. Then, owing Ye Xuan more favors would bring greater benefits to him in the future.

If this Palace Master of the Jade Fox could truly fall in love with Ye Xuan, that would be even better. However, they did not expect that Hu Qianzao would feel so ashamed that she would think of taking her own life.

If her palm had struck her immortal spirit, she might truly died. The palm strike came so suddenly that no one could save her in time.

Just then, Ye Xuan reacted quickly, casting a spiritual spell through the air towards Hu Qianzao. The next moment, around Hu Qianzao, a huge circle of swords formed, with several qi swords revolving within, restraining all of Hu Qianzao’s movements.

The next moment, Lan Bai and Hu Lan had already reached Hu Qianzao’s side, about to subdue her. Seeing the sword circle that suddenly trapped Hu Qianzao, both of them couldn’t help but show a look of surprise.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

“Celestial Crimson Sword–!”

Their astonished gazes turned towards Ye Xuan. The Celestial Crimson Sword scripture, authored by the ancestral master of Taihua Immortal Gate, Bixia Zhenren, was said to be so difficult that even Qin Zhenren had not mastered it.

Only Bixia Zhenren herself could perform this technique in the world. Both of them, in their youth, had once witnessed the power of the Celestial Crimson Sword scripture.

Unexpectedly, today they saw it executed by Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan’s talent in swordsmanship was terrifyingly formidable–!!! Both unconsciously shook by the Celestial Crimson Sword that Ye Xuan displayed, but they also knew that now was not the time to be shocked.

At this moment, Ye Xuan slowly approached Hu Qianzao, squatted in front of her, and spoke, “What do you mean by this? You owe me a debt you could never repay in a lifetime, yet now you seek to end it all? Do you intend, after your death, to have the people of Jade Fox Palace seek revenge against me for forcing you to die, to make me live in unrest, is that it?!”

“Uh...”

Everyone thought that Ye Xuan would comfort Hu Qianzao a few words, telling her not to take past events to heart, urging her not to think of suicide. Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan completely changed his previous attitude and spoke such words.

“I... I didn’t... I just...” Facing Ye Xuan’s gaze, Hu Qianzao was extremely guilt-ridden.

Just now, she had been overwhelmed with shame and impulsively harbored thoughts of suicide. Now, hearing Ye Xuan’s words, she realized that her actions were completely framing Ye Xuan in injustice.

Originally, Ye Xuan could have righteously communicated with the people of the Jade Fox Palace. But if she had killed herself, Ye Xuan would have been burdened with the accusation of driving her to death.

Where was she apologizing to Ye Xuan? She was actually harming him–!!!

At this time, he could only pretend not to want any repayment. As long as she is happy, anything is fine and the like. Thinking this, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but feel depressed, speaking to those nearby, “Why are you all just standing there watching? Isn’t this the time for you to come out and persuade me to accept Hu Qianzao’s repayment? If I agree myself, it seems very insincere–!!!”

At this moment, Hu Qianzao already had tears in her eyes, how could she see Ye Xuan’s ulterior motives. The others also felt it was not their place to intervene in their affairs, naturally, no one spoke up.

Qingxue and Yu Ling’er initially wanted to play the villains, but seeing Hu Qianzao so heartbroken and guilty, and recalling how they once begged Ye Xuan for forgiveness, they couldn’t bear it either.

Although in the future, Hu Qianzao did indeed harm Ye Xuan, now, there was still a chance for things to turn around. Being on good terms with the Jade Fox Palace, and moreover, having the Palace Master of the Jade Fox devoted to Ye Xuan, would be beneficial for Ye Xuan later on.

Thinking this, Qingxue spoke up, “Husband, in my opinion, just let her repay you. I want to see if she can really do what she claims, being a beast of burden or a slave, I don’t believe it.”

As she spoke, her lips curved with a slightly malicious smile.

“Right.” Yu Ling’er also added, “She is the esteemed Palace Master of the Jade Fox, lofty and high. Now, she’s just saying nice things for you to hear, just agree and let her try; maybe in a couple of days, she’ll regret it.”

“I will not regret–!!!” Hu Qianzao’s nine tails shook rapidly, as she knelt in front of Ye Xuan, saying to him, “Ye Xuan, if you don’t let me compensate you... I might as well die, after all, without your forgiveness, there’s no meaning in living.”

“You–!” Hearing this, Ye Xuan wore an expression of helplessness, and then, he sighed, “Get up, I agree... I really don’t want your compensation.”

“It’s up to you whether you want it or not, but how can I have the face to appear before you if I don’t repay everything I owe you?!” Hu Qianzao was thrilled, happily saying, “Everyone saw it, he agreed himself to let me compensate him, no matter what I do to repay him, he must not refuse, if he regrets it later, you all must testify for me–!”

Saying this, her gaze swept over the crowd around her.

“Indeed, we all heard.” The members of the Jade Fox Palace quickly said, “Ye Xuan, our palace master is sorry to you, but you have already agreed to give her a chance to make amends to you, you must not refuse to let her make amends because of the past—!”

“We know, you like our palace master, and do not want her to feel guilty about you, but she owes you so much, how can she feel at ease if you do not let her pay off the debt she owes you?!”

“Palace master, hang in there, don’t let those two women look down on you—!”

“We believe you can do it, one day, you will repay what you owe Ye Xuan, and then, you can stand by his side with your head held high.”

“...”

For a moment, the people of the Jade Fox Palace were all speaking up for Hu Qianzao. However, after their words ended, they all started to look a bit strange.

“I feel like what I just said was a bit weird.” Someone said.
