Chapter 160: The Palace Master’s Utter Despair
“Release him, please, just let him go–!!!”
At this moment, inside Jade Fox Palace, Hu Qianzao voice broke out in panic. Her voice was so piercing, so full of guilt and helplessness.
The two immortals of Jade Fox Palace looked at each other, nodded silently, and then activated the spell to release Ye Xuan.
At this moment, they had no reason to hold him any longer. Not only did they have no reason to bind Ye Xuan, but they also had to consider how to deal with Qingxue’s fury.
Above Jade Fox Palace, the swirling protective formation slowly ceased, blending into the clouds and dissipating in the sky. The chains of spiritual energy binding Ye Xuan also retracted into the air, vanishing without a trace.
Watching his body regain freedom, Ye Xuan let out a slight sigh of relief.
The immediate danger had passed, but, the situation was far from over.
Especially now, Qingxue and Yu Ling’er were infuriated on his behalf. If Jade Fox Palace did not provide a satisfactory explanation this time, who knows what they might do in their anger.
There was no need for things to escalate further.
Next, it would depend on whether Jade Fox Palace, or more specifically, Hu Qianzao, understood the gravity of the situation. He just quietly observed Hu Qianzao, without saying a word. The people of Jade Fox Palace also remained silent, guiltily averting their eyes from Ye Xuan’s gaze, unable to meet his look.
“Ye Xuan... I’m sorry, I’ve wronged you–!!!” Hu Qianzao approached Ye Xuan, her heart full of guilt, her face tear-streaked.
Thinking back to how arrogantly and confidently she had treated him, full of spite, and to realize, in the end, that it was all a misunderstanding on her part. She hadn’t even given him a chance to explain.
At this moment, she felt utterly ashamed to face Ye Xuan. She knelt down in front of him, “I didn’t know... I really didn’t know... I... I deserve to die, kill me –!”NewW novels updates at novelhall.com
As the dignified master of Jade Fox Palace, she should not have resorted to such actions. Even in death, she should not be kneeling before anyone, but now, she had broken down completely.
He gently reached out, wiped the little fox’s face, and helped her up, saying, “Don’t worry, I have no memory of these things. These are events that will happen in the future, and to me, they are just a spectacle I’ve witnessed.”
“Moreover, even if the future me did experience these things, it was of my own volition, how could I take revenge on your palace master now? You don’t need to feel guilty, let’s end this matter today.”
“My husband—!!!” Hearing this, Qingxue couldn’t help but exclaim, “Have you forgotten? Just now the palace master said if she really misunderstood you, you could do as you please, now how can you...”
Regardless, Ye Xuan shouldn’t just let things slide so easily with Hu Qianzao. Having the palace master owe him a great favor could be beneficial for him.
However, Qingxue quickly realized something. Instead of being aggressive, it’s better to be generous and make Hu Qianzao owe Ye Xuan even more.
But being nice all the time isn’t enough; someone needs to play the bad guy. Only then will they truly understand Ye Xuan’s kindness.
Thus, she brought up what Hu Qianzao had said earlier.
Yu Ling’er also spoke up, “When making her statement earlier, she was so definitive, so confident, and no matter how much I tried to convince her, she wouldn’t believe me. Now, when the truth is out, she comes crying for forgiveness, as if it’s that easy—!”
Hearing Qingxue and Yu Ling’s words, Hu Qianzao felt both guilty and embarrassed. In her grief, she had forgotten how proud and confident she had been when she plotted against Ye Xuan.
And now?
Yu Ling’er had already predicted that she would end up crying and begging for Ye Xuan’s forgiveness. At the time, Hu Qianzao didn’t believe it... but now she did. At this moment, Hu Qianzao felt so ashamed that she almost couldn’t bear it, even harboring thoughts of suicide.
Thinking this, she raised her hand without hesitation and struck towards her own crown.
“—!!!”
No one expected this turn of events, and at that moment, everyone was shocked.
“Don’t—!!!”
