Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness

Chapter 76

“Senior brother, good morning,” Yu Ling greeted him, then glanced towards Ye Xuan’s room and asked with a smile, “Senior brother, are you here to see Ye Xuan so early?”

Yu Hao replied with a helpless expression, “Junior sister, don’t joke. Master already said that I should teach the junior brother, Ye Xuan, about cultivation. You took him away yesterday, and Master has already scolded me for it!”

Yu Ling chided him, “Brother, you’re too naive. If you don’t say anything, and I don’t say anything, how would father know?”

“Okay, okay, you go about your business, I’ll take care of Ye Xuan’s cultivation,” she reassured him.

Hearing her words, Yu Hao desperately gestured to her with his eyes as if trying to convey a warning.

Confused, Yu Ling asked, “Senior brother, what’s wrong? Did you get sand in your eyes?”

Yu Hao sighed helplessly and said respectfully in her direction, “Good morning, Master.”

Startled, Yu Ling turned around and saw her father, Qingyan, looking at her sternly.

“Father… Good morning…” she greeted him, feeling somewhat guilty about what she had just said.

Qingyan, her father and also the sect elder, coldly huffed, clearly upset. He thought Ye Xuan was too shameless; not only was he not diligent in cultivation after joining the sect, but he also spent all his time with his daughter, even making her lie to him.

“Do you still know I’m your father?” he asked. “Didn’t I assign your senior brother to teach Ye Xuan cultivation? Why are you doing it instead? You even sent your senior brother away!”

“Father, senior brother doesn’t teach as well as I do,” Yu Ling tried to explain with a smile. “Let me teach Brother Ye Xuan.”

“Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan… You seem quite close to him,” Qingyan grumbled angrily. “Absolutely not, I see that instead of teaching him, you are likely to neglect your own cultivation. From today, you are forbidden to see Ye Xuan!”

“I don’t care, I want to teach Brotyer Ye Xuan, and if you disagree, I’ll ignore you,” Yu Ling stubbornly stated.

“You this…” Although Qingyan, the sect elder, wasn’t an arrogant person, he was quite petty. He wouldn’t look down on someone without spiritual roots, but he felt it was a waste for his disciple to lack them.

Already displeased with Ye Xuan, who was not diligent and seemed to be courting his daughter, Qingyan grew even more upset.

He firmly said, “Believe it or not, if you talk to Ye Xuan again, I’ll expel him from the sect!”

“Then expel him,” Yu Ling suddenly smiled mischievously. “There might be many people who want to accept Ye Xuan as a disciple now.”

It seemed she was planning to trap her father. She reasoned that if her father didn’t respect Ye Xuan and kept him in the sect, he would regret it later. Better to let her father expel Ye Xuan now.

Hearing her words, Qingyan laughed heartily, “You dare to talk back to me, thinking I won’t expel him? Without the sect, who would want a person without spiritual roots?”

“As you don’t want him as a disciple, I’ll go and talk to the sect master to let Ye Xuan join my sect,” Suddenly, a cold voice came from Ye Xuan’s room, interrupting Qingyan.

Everyone was stunned, especially Qingyan, who thought he heard a woman’s voice from Ye Xuan’s room.

Yu Ling’s expression became weird, a mix of embarrassment and annoyance. She feared what might have happened last night.

As everyone was in shock, the door to Ye Xuan’s room opened, and a figure in a white Taihua standard Daoist robe walked out. The woman’s beauty was breathtaking, making everyone around feel inferior.

Indeed, she was a real immortal.

Descending like an immortal, she gracefully stepped out until everyone saw her face, and then revealed a light smile. Her beauty was breathtaking.

Everyone inhaled sharply at the sight. She looked even more beautiful than the day before. While her Ice Mountain beauty was alluring, her true demeanor suited her best, revealing her true beauty.

Yu Ling felt frustrated, suspecting something had happened between Qingxue and Ye Xuan. She recalled the techniques she had seen in the Former Dust Mirror, feeling dizzy at the thought.

“How can this be?!” Yu Hao, the senior brother, was astonished. How could Elder Qingxue emerge from Ye Xuan’s room, especially so early in the morning?

“Qing… Qingxue Senior Sister,” Qingyan finally greeted her, albeit late.

“Heh, I thought you might not recognize me,” Qingxue coldly chuckled. She had overheard Qingyan’s disdain for Ye Xuan, mocking his lack of spiritual roots.

Funny, Ye Xuan’s rapid cultivation progress was already evident. Did Yu Ling not tell her father, or did he not believe it?

Regardless, now that she and Ye Xuan had acknowledged each other and he had forgiven her, she planned to keep him close.

“I heard you don’t want to accept Ye Xuan as a disciple, which works out for me since I haven’t started accepting disciples yet. I’ll start with him. I’ll speak with the sect master to have Ye Xuan join my peak.”

“Really?!!” Elder Qingyan couldn’t contain his immense joy upon hearing this. He had actually been reluctant to take on this disciple, thinking that if they developed a bond over time, it would be awkward to dismiss him later.

However, now that Senior Sister Qingxue had voluntarily offered to take Ye Xuan as her disciple, it was more than ideal.

But—!!!

A moment later, Elder Qingyan’s thoughts took a sharp turn. Hold on, that’s not the main issue here. The real question is, why would Senior Sister Qingxue emerge from Ye Xuan’s room? This early in the morning, could it be that they…

Ah, this—!!!

Could it be that Ye Xuan, this guy, no way, right? Is he really that formidable? At this moment, Elder Qingyan’s face was filled with question marks.

He remembered that when Senior Sister Qingxue had joined Taihua Immortal Sect, she was already an immortal. Not only that, she possessed an unparalleled beauty, and numerous Taihua disciples pursued her.

Unfortunately, she was always indifferent to everyone. Even in any situation, she maintained a cold demeanor, and no one had ever seen her smile.

Such a person, would she really take a liking to Ye Xuan, a junior who had just joined the Taihua Immortal Sect and moreover, without spiritual roots?

Impossible, absolutely impossible—!!!

Yet, why would she emerge from Ye Xuan’s room and even say she wants to take him as her disciple?

“No need to think further,” Qingxue said to Elder Qingyan: “I don’t feel like explaining the details. It’s settled then, I’ll take Ye Xuan with me.”

As she spoke, Ye Xuan came out of the room. At this moment, Ye Xuan also wore a triumphant smile. After all, cough cough… those who know, understand.

Mo Qingxue, though not taking the initiative, was very cooperative with him.

“Uh…” Seeing Ye Xuan’s appearance, Yu Hao was completely stunned. He wore an expression of disbelief, almost suspecting he was dreaming. But how could he possibly dream of such a bizarre situation? It was impossible. So, this had to be real…

Heaven above, this new junior brother, could he actually be having an affair with Elder Qingxue? Elder Qingxue, the foremost of the Seven Sword Saints of the Taihua Immortal Sect.

Hiss—!!

At that moment, Yu Hao involuntarily inhaled a sharp breath of cold air.

Just who exactly was this junior brother, Ye Xuan? Elder Qingyan’s face also twitched…

Goodness, he had been naively hoping that there was some misunderstanding. But, damn it, seeing Ye Xuan’s expression, to say that he and Senior Sister Qingxue were not involved, he would never believe it.

Once, he himself had pursued Senior Sister Qingxue but, like others, stood no chance at all. She never paid any attention to them. Senior Sister Qingxue, once unattainable like a fairy… And now, she seemed involved with his new, underestimated disciple.

Thinking of this, Elder Qingyan felt his mood become somewhat strange. Complicated. Could it be that because of this, she wanted to take Ye Xuan as a disciple and spend day and night together? But why?!!

Elder Qingyan’s gaze turned towards Ye Xuan. Apart from looks, he didn’t see any difference between himself and this disciple.

Although he had long been married to Qingshuang, the thought that the woman he once loved was now with his disciple, and so unabashedly…

His disciple didn’t seem to have any noticeable merits, except being good-looking. What did Qingxue see in him?!!

At this moment, Elder Qingyan inexplicably felt a sense of defeat.
