Chapter 138: This Development Seems Off
“They finally reunited–!”
Watching Ye Xuan and Hu Qian’er in the scene, oh no, I should say, it’s the meeting of the Jade Fox Palace Master Hu Qianzao, at this moment, all the people in the Jade Fox Palace showed a hint of curiosity.
They wonder what will happen next between Ye Xuan and their Palace Master. Why did the two people who once made a lifelong promise end up becoming enemies?
Only Hu Qianzao, looking at the scene in the picture, involuntarily showed a trace of pain in her eyes.
That was shortly after, when she was tired of her days in the Jade Fox Palace and wanted to go out for a walk…
She had never left the Jade Fox Palace before and was very curious about everything outside. For a while, she played outside for a long time.
During that time, she was very relaxed and happy, but meeting Ye Xuan was the beginning of her nightmare.
She never expected that she, the dignified Palace Master of the Jade Fox Palace, would fall into the hands of a small disciple of the Taihua Sect.
———
“Disgusting—!!!” Looking at the young man in front of her, Hu Qianzao couldn’t help but show a hint of disdain.
She knew what kind of place the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion was. Only improper men would want to go inside. This man standing here, staring inside, must be a despicable person.
However, she didn’t understand why she paid special attention to this man. Clearly, it was their first meeting, but he seemed different from others in her eyes.
“!” However, at this moment, Ye Xuan looked at Hu Qianzao, his expression couldn’t help but change.
In that instant, his mind seemed to flash through many scenes. These scenes were all scenes of him and Hu Qian’er when they were together in their previous lives.
Although they hadn’t formally become a couple, their feelings were deep. Even with ordinary conversations, strong affection could be felt between them.
When he was tired, Hu Qian’er wiped his sweat for him. When he was weary, she gave him her lap as a pillow, letting him rest under the shade of a tree…
At this moment, a strong affection burst out from Ye Xuan’s heart with the awakening of his memories. Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Ye Xuan finally remembered.
He looked at Hu Qianzao with eyes inadvertently filled with affection, “Qian’er…” He suddenly reached out and hugged the girl in front of him.
“—!!!” Under normal circumstances, if someone wanted to touch her, Hu Qianzao would definitely not hesitate to teach them a lesson.
However, facing Ye Xuan, Hu Qianzao inexplicably panicked. Not only did she not scold Ye Xuan, but she also forgot to dodge.
So, when she reacted, she had already been embraced by Ye Xuan.
———
“Uh…”
Looking at herself in the picture, Hu Qianzao couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
So, this was the reason why she had an inexplicable fondness for Ye Xuan when they first met? At that time, she thought she was attracted by his appearance.
Later, she thought he had used some despicable means on her. Making her relax her guard against him was all premeditated.
Wasn’t that the case?!!
——— “Bold, under the Emperor’s city, in broad daylight, you’re actually harassing a respectable young lady. Let her go—!”
Just as Ye Xuan’s hand was about to reach Hu Qianzao’s face, a scholar suddenly stood up and shouted at Ye Xuan.
“Uh…” His shout made Ye Xuan come back to his senses all at once. He couldn’t help but be stunned and awkwardly withdrew his hand.
Because he understood, Hu Qian’er probably still hadn’t remembered who he was. So, it was too rude for him to do such a thing to Hu Qian’er at this moment.
“Sorry, miss…” Ye Xuan apologized to Hu Qianzao:
“Just now, when I saw your face, I felt that you were very similar to an old friend of mine, so I lost my composure and did something rude.”
“Hmph, really?” Hearing this, Hu Qianzao looked incredulous and asked, “Do you think I’m an inexperienced little girl who can be deceived by your words?”
For some reason, even though this was a despicable guy, Hu Qianzao couldn’t help feeling that she quite liked him. She secretly thought, could it be that she had fallen in love at first sight with this guy?
No way—! But why did she let him hug her like that?
Seeing that Hu Qian’er indeed didn’t remember him, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but feel secretly disappointed. But thinking about it, it’s understandable. He just remembered her himself, let alone her.
He composed himself and asked the girl in front of him, “I am Ye Xuan, may I ask the young lady’s name?”
Upon hearing this, Hu Qianzao pondered for a moment. She didn’t want to talk to Ye Xuan originally, but that inexplicable fondness for him made her unable to help but want to say a few more words to him.
She said, “You haven’t answered my question yet. Do you think I’m easy to deceive? I haven’t settled the matter of you hugging me earlier–!!”
Hu Qianzao was born extremely beautiful and charming, plus she possessed the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox. Her every move and word were exceptionally captivating…
Previously, just walking on the road had attracted a lot of attention.
Now, talking with Ye Xuan here, coupled with the shout from the scholar just now, attracted even more people to stop and watch here.
“This girl is really beautiful.”
“Yeah, I’ve never seen such a beautiful girl in my life.”
“The girls in the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion are simply not beautiful compared to her.”
“What’s going on with them?”
“Just now, this young man molested this girl and hugged her.”
“Oh, this is serious. It’s broad daylight, how can he do such a thing–!”
“Young lady, don’t be afraid–!!!”
Amidst the discussions of the surrounding crowd, the scholar who had spoken before stood up again.
He stood in front of Hu Qianzao and said to Ye Xuan, “This young man, this is beneath the Emperor’s city. You actually did such a shameless thing. It’s simply outrageous. You better apologize to this young lady—!”
“I… I just apologized, didn’t I?” Looking at the scholar who intervened, Ye Xuan asked seriously.
Asked by Ye Xuan like this, the scholar was speechless for a moment.
But he immediately continued, “Is that what you call an apology? You’re clearly evading responsibility.”
Saying that, he turned to Hu Qianzao and said, “Young lady, rest assured, this is the Emperor’s city. I saw with my own eyes that this shameless person molested you. I’ll immediately call the city guards to arrest this shameless scoundrel—!!”
Looking at the scholar in front of her, Hu Qianzao couldn’t help but feel strange. Actually, she wasn’t as angry as she had imagined.
However, as the Palace Master of the Jade Fox Palace, how could she let go of being embraced like this?
Thinking of this, she nodded and said, “That’s right, this shameless scoundrel dared to molest me and stain my innocence. He should indeed be arrested and put in prison—!”
Hmph, who let this guy suddenly come and hug me? Just arresting him and keeping him for a few days would be letting him off easy—!!!
At this moment, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but feel dumbfounded. Until the moment he was arrested and taken to prison by the guards who came, he still hadn’t come back to his senses.
No, this development, something seems off.
