Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness - Chapter 117

Chapter 117: Why Is Ye Xuan Always So Tragic

Watching the sudden intervention of the sinister man, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but be surprised.

“You… you’re a cultivator?!” he asked the man.

“Hehe, surprised?” The man smirked slightly, somewhat proud.

Ye Xuan was indeed surprised, and even happy. But the next moment, he couldn’t help but show a hint of disappointment: “Since you didn’t choose to help me earlier, why save me now?”

“Ha ha ha, I help whoever I want to help, do I need a reason?!” said the man. “Kid, I’m asking you now, do you want my help or not? If you do, then follow me obediently. If you don’t, well, you can just die here.”

“Yes—!!!” Ye Xuan said. “Please, help me—!!!”

Previously, he wanted to die because he understood that with his own strength, there was no chance of turning the situation around. But now it was different.

Now that a cultivator was willing to help him, he had the capability to confront his master, Yu Tieshan. Given this opportunity, how could he just watch Yu Tieshan remain at ease?

Thus, at this moment, he decisively abandoned the idea of suicide. The sacrifice of Ling’er filled him with regret. He should not have involved Ling’er, but now that things had reached this point, he absolutely could not let her death be in vain.

He needed to avenge Ling’er and make Yu Tieshan pay.

“Good,” the man nodded, withdrew his magic, and said to Ye Xuan: “First, I need to heal your body. Your legs and martial bones are damaged, and to repair the destroyed parts, we need to realign them. This process will be very painful. Can you endure it?”

“What?” Hearing this, Ye Xuan showed a look of joy: “You can heal my body?”

“Of course,” the man said. “What can’t a cultivator do that you mortals can imagine?!”

“In that case, please proceed, senior,” Ye Xuan quickly bowed to the man: “By the way, I don’t yet know how to address you, senior.”

“Just call me Lu Gu,” the man said with a smile.

“Lu Gu?” Ye Xuan bowed again: “I have seen Senior Lu Gu.”

“You kid, you’re quite worldly. When I didn’t show my cultivator’s abilities, you ignored me all day, but now that you know I can help you, you know how to bow and respectfully call me ‘senior.’”

Seeing Ye Xuan like this, Lu Gu smiled and said: “But that’s human nature; I won’t blame you. I must warn you, though, healing your body will be far more painful than when it was destroyed! If you can’t endure it and die, don’t blame me.”

“Of course—!” Ye Xuan gritted his teeth; he had not wanted to live before, but now that he had a chance for revenge, he naturally was not afraid.

“If I really can’t make it through, then I’ll just meet Ling’er sooner.”

“Then let’s get started—!” Saying this, Lu Gu formed a magical gesture with his hands, and a green spiritual light flew from his fingertips towards Ye Xuan.

The next moment, Ye Xuan felt as if his body was being twisted by a tremendous force. The places that had been injured and misaligned were mercilessly forced back to their original positions.

“Ah—!!!”

In just an instant, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but cry out in pain. If it were anyone else, faced with such intense pain, they would have passed out long ago.

However, this pain was a thousand times more intense than usual, reaching the limit of human pain tolerance, and Ye Xuan could not faint. He could only scream and roll on the ground in agony.

No matter how much Ye Xuan rolled, the green light from Lu Gu’s spell continued to target the old wounds on Ye Xuan’s legs. Under the influence of this light, his body made a cracking sound, like bones being crushed.

Just watching this scene, everyone in the Jade Fox Palace felt their bones trembling. The magic of cultivators is not omnipotent; even immortals have cases they cannot heal.

Ye Xuan’s severely injured body wasn’t considered a major issue; with time and proper care, especially with treatment from a cultivator, there was still a chance he could recover. However, Lu Gu’s cruel method of healing was unheard of.

————

“This Lu Gu… might not be a good person—!!!” Watching the scene unfold, a disciple at the Jade Fox Palace expressed concern.

Hearing this, many fellow disciples nodded in agreement. With Lu Gu’s level of cultivation, he could have easily taken Ye Xuan to a reputable cultivation sect for healing.

However, he chose not to do this and instead used such brutal magic to heal Ye Xuan in the prison. This clearly showed that he was not a good person.

Moreover, why would a cultivator of his stature be lurking in a jail that held ordinary people? This was also very suspicious.

At this moment, many were beginning to worry for Ye Xuan. Why does a good person like Ye Xuan always encounter evil people and unfortunate events?

Despite his martial skills, character, talent, and wisdom being far superior to ordinary people, the calamities he faced were unimaginable to most.

At this time, everyone in the Jade Fox Palace was fully absorbed in the story, even forgetting that they were originally watching to see how Ye Xuan supposedly harmed their palace master. Now, all they cared about was what misfortune Ye Xuan would face next.

————

“Boy, just scream all you want, haha, no one will hear your screams—!” At this moment, Lu Gu continued to channel spiritual power into Ye Xuan, who was rolling on the ground in agony.

“As long as you survive, I’ll help you—!” Lu Gu said.
