BXBX NOVEL Chapter 98
Chapter 98
The next day, early in the morning, Ye Xuan was dragged out by Hu Qian’er’s order, beaten severely, had a leg broken, and was covered in blood when sent to the authorities.
He didn’t even get a trial, and was directly thrown into the dungeon. At this moment, his appearance was extremely miserable.
Compared to the spirited demeanor he had when practicing swordsmanship with Yu Ling’er in the mountains, he seemed like a completely different person now. His wretched state was pitiable to behold.
——
“Strange, why has Ye Xuan been silent since last night?”
“Yeah… apart from moaning in pain twice, he seems to have not spoken at all.”
“What face does he have to speak? If I were him, and had been caught doing such a shameless act, I would be too embarrassed to speak as well.”
“Exactly.”
“It’s all his own doing. It seems like Ye Xuan’s life is over, right?”
“Yeah, that should be the case. Next, it should show how he mistreated our sect master, right?!!”
“As soon as the truth is revealed, that will be the end of his life.”
As everyone was thinking this way, they saw Ye Xuan, who had been silent all this while, finally couldn’t help but shed tears in the scene.
“He’s crying?”
“What face does he have to cry–!”
“Exactly, a man doesn’t lightly shed tears. He committed the crime himself and got sent to jail, what face does he have to cry?!!”
Saying so, everyone cast their mocking gaze at the present Ye Xuan.
Although the past life and the present life are not the same person, Ye Xuan was a scoundrel in both lives, and it’s very likely that he came to take revenge in this life because of a grudge against the master of Jade Fox Palace in his past life.
The transfer of grudges from a past life to the next is not unheard of. After all, sometimes reincarnation can’t wash away all sins, it’s possible…
Seeing their expressions, Ye Xuan’s face remained unchanged, but inside he was already laughing to himself.
‘Keep being smug, hope you still have the face to be smug later.’ Just as Ye Xuan was thinking this.
——
In the scene, images from Ye Xuan’s memories start to emerge in his mind. It was the scene from the previous banquet.
——
“Eh…”
“That’s strange, can this spell actually show Ye Xuan’s memories?”
“Sure enough, it’s the sect master’s spell, it can not only see into the hearts of the people in the scene, but also see what they are thinking–!”
Everyone praised Hu Qianzao.
But at this moment, Hu Qianzao herself couldn’t help but doubt.
Isn’t it…
When Beidou Star Lord passed this spell to her, she didn’t say it was this powerful. It can even see into Ye Xuan’s memories.
‘Well, let’s just see what he’s going to recall.’ Although she felt these things didn’t have much to do with her, she couldn’t help but feel a bit of schadenfreude at seeing Ye Xuan’s misfortunes in his past life.
——
“Brother, you should rest early.”
In Ye Xuan’s memory, just after the birthday banquet of his master ended, he had drunk a lot of wine. It was Yu Ling’er who helped him back to his room.
After helping Ye Xuan lie down, Yu Ling’er said to him: “Get up early tomorrow, and we can play around some more.”
“Mm.” Ye Xuan nodded and said, “Ling’er, you should also rest early… By the way… I noticed those guys, they look at you with lecherous eyes, be careful around them.”
“I understand.” Yu Ling’er nodded, then said, “If anything happens, I will scream loudly. Then, brother, you have to come to save me, hehe.”
“Hehe… Of course.” Ye Xuan said, “You understand… For you, even if it means dying, what’s the harm?!”
——
Ye Xuan’s words naturally elicited a wave of ridicule among the disciples of the Jade Fox Palace.
The mouth of a man, truly a deceptive ghost.
Did his actions later live up to what he’s saying now?
——
“Brother, don’t talk about dying or not dying, I don’t want you to die, if you die, what will happen to me… I want you to live well…” As she spoke, Yu Ling’er left Ye Xuan’s room and entered her own next door.
As the candlelight was extinguished, the entire Hu Mansion fell into silence, the previous liveliness seemingly disappearing in an instant.
In the middle of the night, Ye Xuan was disturbed by the urge to urinate and couldn’t sleep anymore. He got up and left his room. In a daze, he somehow ended up in the back courtyard of the Hu Mansion.
The back courtyard, where the female members of a large family usually resided, was generally off-limits to servants and disciples except for maids.
“Uh… It seems Ye Xuan met that concubine at this time?”
“It must be–!”
Everyone watched the scene, as some details in the picture were not very clear, so they really didn’t know when Ye Xuan met that concubine Huiyan.
In such a short time, how could he have hooked up with Hu Wanquan’s concubine?
It must be due to the scheming of someone with an agenda, and he must have taken the bait himself. Maybe, it’s because he met her at this time that Ye Xuan developed lustful thoughts and was manipulated by others?
Everyone thought so…
However, Ye Xuan did not meet the concubine Huiyan as everyone had thought. Instead, he found a restroom, and after using it, he walked back to his room alone.
The moon was exceptionally bright that night, shining as if it were day, covering everything in a layer of night. Even without turning on lights, everything could be clearly seen.
Even in the bushes, fireflies could be seen glowing.
Such a night scene, compared to the darkness when it first got dark, was absolutely beautiful.
Ye Xuan’s alcohol tolerance seemed better than expected; in just a short while, he had sobered up.
He planned to enjoy the night view of the mansion under the moonlight. Suddenly, his gaze noticed two people sitting in a small courtyard under the moonlight.
Looking carefully, weren’t they his master Yu Tieshan and his senior uncle Hu Wanquan?
“So late, and master and senior uncle haven’t planned to rest?”
Thinking this, Ye Xuan was about to leave.
But the next moment, he saw senior uncle Hu Wanquan suddenly strike master Yu Tieshan on the back. Caught off guard, master Yu Tieshan was knocked unconscious.
“–!!!” Ye Xuan couldn’t help but widen his eyes, seemingly unable to believe what he had just seen.
——
Outside the scene, the people of the Jade Fox Palace also showed a look of strangeness.
What was happening?!!
