BXBX NOVEL Chapter 103
Chapter 103
However, she didn’t want to share those experiences herself, as everyone would soon see them anyway. She refrained from speaking, not wanting to seem like she was playing the victim.
Her gaze returned to the magical display, though she was puzzled why the spell she cast only showed events unrelated to her, even embarrassing her and the Jade Fox Palace disciples.
The spell, handed down by a deity, was beyond her full understanding. Once cast, she could only watch silently.
In the displayed scene:
——
“Hahaha–!!!”
Hearing Yu Tieshan call him a beast, Hu Wanquan laughed heartily: “Junior brother, what a delightful insult! I’m truly deserving! I always thought my schemes were clever, but you and junior sister saw through them.”
“A pity… Fortunately, I switched the real Banished Immortal Sword Manual with a fake one. Otherwise, I might have died at your hands. It’s a chilling thought.”
“Go ahead, curse me all you want. The worse you curse, the better I’ll treat your daughter. I liked Ling’er the moment I saw her. She’s even more beautiful than junior sister!”
“You–!!!” Yu Tieshan was infuriated, almost spitting blood. He wanted to retort, but held back his rage, resorting to hateful glares at Hu Wanquan.
Ye Xuan, standing aside, frowned with anger flashing in his eyes.
——
Outside the scene, Hu Wanquan’s shameless words naturally enraged the disciples of Jade Fox Palace outside the display.
They had just praised such a despicable man as virtuous, while condemning Yu Tieshan as evil. They felt like allies of Hu Wanquan, embarrassed beyond measure.
“This Hu Wanquan is a beast, not even worthy of being called human!” a wolf-eared girl furiously exclaimed.
“Junior sister, calling him a beast, aren’t you insulting yourself?” another disciple remarked: “Such a person is worse than animals!”
“What’s Ye Xuan doing? Why hasn’t he saved his master yet?”
“He must be scared to death and doesn’t dare to move!”
“That’s right, he’s afraid to save his master, so he flirts with his uncle’s wife, getting bitten back in retaliation!”
“Definitely. He’s both cowardly and foolish!”
Amidst the accusations, their attention returned to Ye Xuan, who still hadn’t made a move. They thought he was too scared.
“Go save him, you fool!”
“Is he waiting for his master to die before he goes to collect the body?”
As Ye Xuan remained inactive, they grew increasingly anxious.
Listening to these agitated remarks, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly. It seemed that these people still didn’t realize who the real protagonist was.
In Hu Qianzao’s script, he was a villain, but in his own story, he was the hero. How could he possibly behave disgracefully, standing idly by as his master died?
These people must not have felt the sting of being slapped in the face yet. The time had come for his own reversal.
——
In the scene, Ye Xuan frowned, looking angrily at his uncle Hu Wanquan ahead of him. However, he didn’t rush forward recklessly.
‘My cultivation is inferior to my master’s, and even more so to Uncle Hu Wanquan. To rush forward now would be tantamount to suicide,’ he thought.
——
Hearing Ye Xuan’s inner voice, those who had previously accused him of cowardice suddenly fell silent. They had not expected to be proven wrong so quickly.
Some calmer disciples of the Jade Fox Palace said, “As harsh as it sounds, it’s the truth. If Ye Xuan were to rush out now, it would only be a senseless sacrifice.”
“Does he intend to just watch his master die then?” other disciples of the Jade Fox Palace asked. “In this situation, even if he stepped forward, it would be futile.”
“But… this could just be an excuse for his fear to save his master… Who knows his true intentions?” someone muttered.
The calmer disciple replied, “But… this is exactly his thought process…”
Realizing this, everyone began to understand.
Earlier no matter how eloquent Ye Xuan’s words were, they wouldn’t know his true thoughts.
However, now they were hearing them firsthand! This meant Ye Xuan wasn’t truly cowardly but was thinking of a way to save his master. They had indeed misunderstood him.
“It seems Ye Xuan hasn’t figured out how to save his master, so he can only watch him die,” one of them said.
“Although this approach is indeed calm, it’s somewhat cold-hearted.”
“I think it’s good, at least he can preserve his life and seek revenge later.”
“Exactly!”
“Is his method of revenge to seduce his uncle’s wife?”
For a while, the people of the Jade Fox Palace began to debate Ye Xuan’s decision not to step forward. Some agreed, others disagreed.
When a close friend or relative is in danger and one is unable to help, should one leap forward to die together, showing loyalty, or survive by any means necessary, waiting for the right moment to act? Clearly, people had different opinions on such matters.
Ye Xuan, depicted in the scene, was not like some of the people present with exceptional strength; he couldn’t achieve a perfect solution.
Thus, many believed Ye Xuan had chosen not to save his master but to return and seduce his uncle’s wife, which naturally seemed disgraceful. However, what Ye Xuan did next remained to be seen.
