Chapter 13 - Yu Ling’er’s Regret
The one who protected her from the demonic beasts was not Senior Brother Qin, but Junior Brother Yu Xuan. However, Junior Brother Yu Xuan was forced to become a coward who fled—!!! The injustices he suffered were far from just this.
Yu Ling’er held back her overwhelming tears as she watched the unfolding scene, knowing that what she was about to do was excessively cruel.
“Damn it, Ye Xuan, you bastard—!!!”
Thud—!!!
Ye Xuan’s fist heavily struck an ice wall. Contrary to the expected shattering ice, there was no such heroic scene. Only his hand, bleeding profusely.
No physical pain could lessen the helplessness in his heart.
“Junior Brother Yu Xuan, you’re here.” At that moment, Yu Ling’er approached Ye Xuan from behind.
She looked at him, his face filled with regret, his hand bloodied from the punch, yet she felt no sympathy. Instead, she thought to herself: Serves you right for abandoning me and running away.】
“…”
Yu Ling’er’s heart clenched, “Don’t… don’t say it out loud, please… don’t say it…” Although Ye Xuan was her enemy, having killed her parents and senior brother, leading demons in an assault and causing havoc, in that moment, in Yu Ling’er’s eyes, he was like a wounded beast in despair, helpless in his inability to protect her.
She knew how excessively cruel her next words would be. For Ye Xuan in the scene, they were definitely the most hurtful words. However, no matter how much she prayed, the scene continued.
Ye Xuan turned around, overjoyed to see Yu Ling’er unharmed.
But before he could speak, Yu Ling’er said to him:
“Junior Brother, you don’t need to explain. I won’t tell my father about you abandoning me and running away.” She displayed an innocent smile. “Besides, even if my dad finds out, he won’t blame you. After all, you don’t have the ability to protect me, right?”
At that moment, it felt to Ye Xuan as if someone was slowly driving an ice pick into his heart. He felt as though his body had been thrown into an ice cavern, unbearably cold. Indeed, he lacked the ability to protect her…
He was nothing but a failure.
“By the way, Junior Brother, let me introduce someone to you. This is Senior Brother Yu Shou from Qingguang Peak… He’s a really good person. He not only saved me but also expended his spiritual Qi to heal my injuries. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have recovered so quickly.”
As Yu Ling’er spoke, a man emerged beside her. He wore a perfect smile, dignified and bright, his face radiating friendliness and kindness. He greeted Ye Xuan with a bow: “Junior Brother Yu Xuan, I am Yu Shou, the eldest disciple of Qingguang Peak. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Out of Yu Ling’er’s sight, Yu Shou was looking at Ye Xuan with a mocking gaze. His expression seemed to say: Look, even if you saved her, what does it matter? Will she believe you now if you say you saved her? A loser is always a loser, his smile gradually turning sinister.
Wasn’t this man the very one who forced Ye Xuan to leave earlier? Watching this man take credit for his deeds and stand beside the senior sister he loved, Ye Xuan felt his heart going numb…
But Yu Ling’er, unaware of Ye Xuan’s thoughts, just wanted to vent her frustration on him. Thinking of how Ye Xuan always said he liked her, and how hurt he would be if he heard her express affection for someone else…
The naive Yu Ling’er suddenly said, “Junior Brother, why don’t you greet the Senior Brother? He has already greeted you… Compared to you, I prefer someone like Senior Brother – courteous, gentle, and powerful.”
Boom—!!!
At that moment, Ye Xuan felt as if a thunderbolt had struck in his mind. His entire world seemed to turn white, devoid of any meaning.
Watching this scene, Yu Ling’er also felt dizzy.
How excessive had her past actions been? Back then, Ye Xuan was even willing to sacrifice his life for her. Yet, after he desperately protected her, she brought the person who drove him into a corner, the one who stole his credit, to praise him in front of Ye Xuan…
Even claiming her affection for such a person.
Why was she so foolish back then? Why couldn’t she see the truth?!! What kind of injury had she inflicted on Ye Xuan at that time? Even the younger, naive her understood that such words were incredibly hurtful to someone who liked her.
And even more so now.
Ye Xuan, I, Yu Ling’er, owe you an apology. I was blind and mistook the person…
I never imagined that Senior Brother Qin was such a person; I was always deceived by his outward appearance. But even though I wronged you, you shouldn’t have practiced forbidden demonic arts, killed my parents, and led demons to attack the mountain. You shouldn’t have harmed the innocent—!!!
