NOVEL NEXT Chapter 131: This Situation Definitely Doesn’t Look Right
Jade Fox Palace, high above the sky, a massive array was rotating. The formidable power of the array, enhanced by the veins of the entire Jade Fox Palace, seemed even more dominant. Even immortals would find it difficult to escape once trapped by this array.
However, at this moment, such a powerful array’s force was pressing down on Ye Xuan, a mere Spiritual Insight Realm cultivator. It must be said, they really overestimated Ye Xuan.
Not long ago, disciples of the Jade Fox Palace harbored deep hatred towards Ye Xuan. They wished they could charge into the array themselves and take Ye Xuan’s life. Yet, at this moment, as they watched Ye Xuan within the array, they felt a strange sensation in their hearts. “Ye Xuan… is he the same person as his past life?”
“Well… it seems so, right?”
“Ah, in his past life, his conduct was so noble. In this life, he couldn’t be too different, right?”
“Yeah… He’s a Primordial Spirit Body. Without entering the cycle of reincarnation, death for him is just amnesia. After losing his memory, he wouldn’t become a different person, would he?”
“I suddenly find it hard to believe that Ye Xuan would harm our palace master.”
“Well… I also think so… Could there be a misunderstanding here?” Seeing Ye Xuan trapped within the array, all the disciples of the Jade Fox Palace began to feel sympathy towards him. In their eyes, someone with such noble character as Ye Xuan couldn’t possibly commit acts of harm. Although, they knew their palace master wouldn’t spread rumors or slander. But perhaps, there was a misunderstanding here?
Even Hu Qianzao, at this moment, felt bewildered. If Ye Xuan truly was a Primordial Spirit Body, wouldn’t that mean the current Ye Xuan was the same as the Ye Xuan from his past life? Apart from losing his past life’s memories and strength, he was essentially the same person? Would such a Ye Xuan really commit acts of harm? Did they misunderstand him?!!
Honestly, Hu Qianzao felt a bit guilty now. If she had misunderstood Ye Xuan, it would be embarrassing! But that couldn’t be, absolutely not. The memories of him harming her couldn’t be false.
Could it be that Ye Xuan, upon recalling his past life, realized how much she owed him and how much he sacrificed for her, so he wanted to retaliate against her, thus behaving so crazily towards her? But that didn’t seem plausible either.
“I understand it now–!!!” She looked at Ye Xuan, thought for a while, and finally came up with an explanation, an explanation that convinced herself.
She said to Ye Xuan, “Though you were indeed a person of noble character before, after being reborn, you lost your memory and turned bad, which is why you did those harmful things to me.” “–!!!” Hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up. It must be like this; given Ye Xuan’s character, he would never do such things.
But, the current Ye Xuan had died once. Although he only lost his memory, a person’s character was greatly influenced by their life experiences. Even if Ye Xuan had a noble character before, if he went astray due to bad influence, it was possible.
“So that’s it–!” With this in mind, everyone looked at Ye Xuan with a hint of regret. Ah, what a pity… He was such a good person, but due to amnesia, he did bad things. When he regained his memory and realized the wrongs he had done, he would surely regret it.
“Um…” Seeing the gaze of everyone around, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but feel speechless. Wow, such audacity, a group of people so easily convinced.
Did they even consider how noble I was before? Even if I did lose my memory, how could I be turned into a villain? Impossible, absolutely impossible–!!! You guys are too naive–!!!
Anyway, the plot must move on to the next stage. If you want to misunderstand, go ahead. You’ll be proven wrong later.

“Ah… Ah–!!!” Suddenly, the scene turned dark. In the darkness, there came a miserable scream of a woman. The wretchedness of the voice made it seem as if someone was being torn apart forcibly, extremely painful. Just listening to that miserable scream made people unconsciously grit their teeth…
——–
For a moment, everyone in the Jade Fox Palace turned their gaze towards Hu Qianzao because they knew it was their palace master’s voice. Facing everyone’s gaze, Hu Qianzao remained calm. She knew that moment had finally arrived. She never let the disciples of the Jade Fox Palace know about her later experiences because she was ashamed to tell anyone.
It was too painful for her to speak about. Now, letting everyone witness it was the best choice.
She spoke to everyone, “Watch closely. After seeing what happens next, you’ll understand how Ye Xuan harmed me.” Though she said so, her gaze towards Ye Xuan was somewhat conflicted.
There was no denying that she suffered terribly at Ye Xuan’s hands in the future. It could even be said that death would be a relief. But now, her impression of Ye Xuan had changed somewhat.
The Ye Xuan before her wasn’t just the one who harmed her; he was also the one who helped her in her past life, the one with noble character, worthy of great virtue. This Ye Xuan of this life had only done wrong things because he was led astray and made mistakes.
Could she rightfully seek revenge on the present Ye Xuan because of future events? Sighing, Hu Qianzao said to Ye Xuan, “Ye Xuan, I don’t know why you’ve become like this, but as long as you sincerely repent, I will forgive you for what you’ll do to me in the future!”
“–!!!” Hearing Hu Qianzao’s words, everyone in the Jade Fox Palace couldn’t help but feel overjoyed. This was great!
Honestly, those who had been helped by Ye Xuan were Hu Qianzao’s past life, while those harmed by Ye Xuan were Hu Qianzao herself. There was no reason for this life’s Hu Qianzao to forgive Ye Xuan.
However, after witnessing the previous events, everyone felt there might be some misunderstanding. At least, they didn’t want Hu Qianzao to really kill Ye Xuan. After all, they wanted to give Ye Xuan a chance to repent. It was great that the palace master was willing to forgive Ye Xuan.
As long as Ye Xuan corrected his misled thoughts and regained his past life’s memories, he would still be the person of great virtue from his past life. Yu Linger and Qing Xue smiled at each other.
Although they believed Ye Xuan was innocent and there was probably a misunderstanding, some misunderstandings might not be easily clarified. At least now, they could be sure that Ye Xuan was not in any danger.
Upon hearing Hu Qianzao’s words, Ye Xuan secretly chuckled. You forgive me? What do you have to forgive me for? Just wait until you see what happens next in the plot. Who needs forgiveness from whom? You haven’t figured it out yet. Laughing to himself, he didn’t respond to Hu Qianzao’s words but continued to look at the scene.

In the scene, the darkness dissipated, revealing the situation inside. It was the headquarters of the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion in Jianghua City. Hu Qian’er was writhing in agony on the ground.
“Ah! Ah–!!!”
From her mouth came a scream so painful it made people’s teeth ache. Several Heavenly Mandate Pavilion cultivators were beside her, jointly suppressing the green light on her body.
“What a terrifying Gu technique!” One of the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion cultivators said, “We never expected that she would be afflicted by the Ultimate Desire Devouring Gu just by eating a few pieces of Ye Xuan’s flesh. This Gu attaches itself to the soul as a curse… Even with our combined strength, we can’t suppress it!”
“??” Seeing the situation in the scene, Hu Qianzao had a puzzled expression. What’s going on now? Everyone also looked at Hu Qianzao with the same puzzled expression: Didn’t she say that the next scene would be Ye Xuan harming you? Why is it about the past again?!
Hu Qianzao felt embarrassed. She didn’t expect to spoil the plot. The matters of the past haven’t ended yet…
She didn’t explain much and quietly watched the scene. Everyone knew Hu Qianzao was feeling embarrassed and didn’t ask further. Anyway, they would find out soon enough.
——–
“Let me die, please, let me die–!!!” At this moment, Hu Qian’er was already tortured beyond recognition by the pain of the Gu. She screamed in agony on the ground, “I can’t bear this pain anymore, I really can’t bear it–!!!”
“Miss Hu, you must hold on!” The leader of the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion cultivators said, “Have you forgotten? You made a vow in this life to find Young Master Ye. We, the members of the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion, are also searching for Young Master Ye’s whereabouts for you. I believe we’ll have results soon.”
Hearing the cultivator’s words, Hu Qian’er was stunned. Her painful expression suddenly became resolute. “Yes… That’s right, I still have to find Ye Xuan, I still have to apologize to him… I still have to repay his kindness…”
Her body was trembling slightly as she tried to suppress the pain coming from within her. At the same time, several Heavenly Mandate Pavilion cultivators cast spells together, and the poison inside her body was finally suppressed.
