Chapter 129.5:
At this moment, Hu Qianzao also felt a bit worried.
Although this was something she did in her past life, the thought of Ye Xuan risking his life to return for her past self, only to be treated like that by her, made her feel guilty.
Before, she thought Ye Xuan was a bad person and deserved whatever treatment he received. But now it seemed that wasn't the case!
Though her past life events have nothing to do with her, could she really justify watching her past self repay kindness with resentment, returning enmity for a favor? Obviously, that was impossible!
(On the screen)
It quickly turned into night, and Ye Xuan arrived outside the room of Hu Wanzhen's concubine, Hui Ning.
With a creak, the door opened, and the beautiful concubine, Hui Ning, appeared. She saw Ye Xuan and couldn't help but smile, "You finally came."
"Hurry up and let me in," Ye Xuan said.
"Oh, look at how eager you are," Hui Ning teased Ye Xuan before letting him in. And Yu Tieshan, who was monitoring Ye Xuan outside the courtyard, breathed a sigh of relief."Ye Xuan, in the end, you fell into my trap on your own." He smirked. He had been monitoring Ye Xuan all day today, especially when Ye Xuan was with Yu Linger. He was certain that Ye Xuan had no chance to communicate with Yu Linger.
Of course, if Ye Xuan really did such a thing, then he would have to kill Ye Xuan ahead of schedule.
At least Ye Xuan could live a little longer for now, right?
Inside the room, Ye Xuan looked at Hui Ning and asked her, "Do you know why I'm here?"
"I know," Hui Ning said. "Master said that as long as I serve you well, he'll give me this box of jewelry." As she spoke, she pointed to a small box behind her filled with jewelry.
Hui Ning was originally a pawn redeemed by Hu Wanzhen from the brothel, so she naturally didn't mind such things.
However, what surprised her was that Master actually valued this young man so much that he asked her to serve him.
She didn't know who this young man was and why he was so powerful.
Seeing Hui Ning's appearance, Ye Xuan shook his head slightly. It seemed that the old fox master not only wanted to get rid of me but also wanted to get rid of Hui Ning by this opportunity.
But it was understandable.
Hui Ning was Hu Wanzhen's confidante. Maybe she would notice something different about him. With his caution, he won't let Hui Ning go.
"Do you think he really asked you to serve me to win me over?" Ye Xuan asked.
"Isn't it?" Hui Ning asked back.
"No," Ye Xuan said. "He wants to get rid of both of us. If we really do something later, he will immediately send someone to catch us in bed and take us to the authorities!"
"Ah!" Hearing this, Hui Ning couldn't help but be shocked. "How… how could this be? I was rescued by him from the brothel with so much effort, and in just a few years, he's tired of me?"
"Haha," Ye Xuan smiled slightly and said, "If you want to live, listen to me now, otherwise, you'll die later."
"I… I'll listen to you for sure!" Hui Ning trembled at Ye Xuan's seriousness.
"Very well," Ye Xuan said. "When I remind you later, you scream."
"Scream?" Hearing this, Hui Ning looked strange. "Scream for what? For help?"
Ye Xuan glanced at her and said, "Scream for help, pretending that I'm assaulting you."
Hearing this, Hui Ning couldn't help but look at Ye Xuan in shock.
"… I understand." She understood what Ye Xuan meant.
According to Ye Xuan, Hu Wanzhen wanted to catch them in bed, so she was doomed. The best outcome was to be sent to the authorities, and the worst outcome was… the pig cage death.
Ultimately, Ye Xuan was saving her!
"If that's the case, why don't you hurry up and leave my room, Master? In that case, no matter what the Master's purpose is, we won't be afraid of him."
"Haha, some things can be avoided for a while, but not forever," Ye Xuan said. "With his martial arts skills, it's easy for him to kill us."
"I see…" Hearing this, Hui Ning felt a bit hopeless. She looked at Ye Xuan with a bit of gratitude in her eyes. "… If this is true, I can't repay you for saving my life, so… let me serve you for a while longer."
"You don't need to thank me," Ye Xuan said. "The more grateful you are to me, the more Hu Wanzhen will want to kill you. Just pretend you don't know what I've told you." He said casually, turning away without looking at the beautiful concubine in front of him.
Ah, he wondered if this could really save her life. But he hoped she could escape death.
(Outside the screen)
In the eyes of the Jade Fox Palace members, everything in this moment filled them with admiration. They finally understood what kind of person Ye Xuan truly was…
Those who had spoken ill of Ye Xuan before now wished they could take back their words.
Even in this situation, the past Ye Xuan was still considering others, expecting nothing in return. Such an upright person was truly admirable.
Earlier, just because this past Ye Xuan was Ye Xuan, they harbored intense hatred toward him, speaking ill of him. How were they any different from those foolish people who aided tyranny?!
(On the screen)
"Help, someone, there's a p_ervert!"
At this moment, within the Hu residence, a cry suddenly startled the surroundings. Yu Tieshan, who led the disciples and Yu Linger to the courtyard, couldn't help but be stunned.
What was going on? Why did Hui Ning suddenly scream?!!
However, there was no time to worry about that. His figure quickly flashed, discarding his night clothes and hiding in the shadows. When the disciples rushed in and entered Hui Ning's room, he slowly approached them from behind, walking toward the room.
"Ye Xuan, you beast, how dare you disrespect my senior sister, die!"
Seeing the scene inside the room, everyone's expression changed. Hu Wanzhen's disciples were both shocked and ready to take Ye Xuan's life.
"Stop!"
After shouting like this, Yu Tieshan immediately disguised himself as Hu Wanzhen and walked in from behind the crowd.
Seeing the situation inside the room, without a word, he drove those disciples out.
(Outside the screen)
Seeing this scene, everyone in the Jade Fox Palace couldn't help but gulp.
This was it…
Before, they had cheered and rejoiced when they saw Ye Xuan's martial arts being disabled by Hu Wanzhen. They had shouted that he deserved it!
But now, seeing Ye Xuan helplessly play the role of a villain violating his senior sister-in-law, facing Yu Tieshan's hypocritical face, the angry Hu Qianer, and Yu Ling'er, who knew the truth but couldn't say a word for Ye Xuan, and even Yu Linger pretending not to believe Ye Xuan, they felt endless regret.
Although the words they had said before didn't heard by Ye Xuan in the scene and was something that happened at some point in the past.
The past Ye Xuan had always been helping others, sacrificing himself for others, yet he ended up with a shameful reputation, being despised and humiliated by others.
On the other hand, the real villain was pretending to be hypocritical, was praised by them one after another for his high moral character. If the past Ye Xuan had heard what they were saying now, how desperate and painful he would have been!
Just thinking about this made them feel endless grievances. Moreover, Ye Xuan didn't even utter a word, allowing their palace master from the past to scold him and even break his leg…
He specifically returned to remind Yu Linger to protect the palace master of past life.
And how did Hu Qianer, the master from her past life, repay him?!
For a moment, everyone felt even more miserable.
They all owed Ye Xuan an apology.
