During this time, it was the most painful period for Hu Qian’er. Her father died because of his malicious intent, and instead of harming others, he fell victim himself. Her closest friend, Yu Ling’er, died trying to save her, and Ye Xuan, who silently loved her and helped her behind the scenes, also disappeared.
According to the leader of the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion, Ye Xuan had a special constitution. After death, he wouldn’t truly perish but would be reborn somewhere. Although she didn’t know why Ye Xuan was so powerful, waiting for Ye Xuan became the only thing she thought about every day.
She had no interest in managing her family affairs...
Those disciples recruited by her masters were expelled from the Hu family because of their evil intentions. Every morning, the first thing she did was rush to the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion to inquire about Ye Xuan’s whereabouts.
“Miss Hu, you’re here early again.”
Early in the morning, Hu Qian’er arrived at the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion. Her arrival attracted many people’s attention.
“Is she Miss Hu from the Hu family?”
“Yes, she’s really beautiful.”
“What’s the use of being beautiful? Haven’t you heard? Her fiancé was in dire straits. To save her own life, she ate her fiancé.”
“What? Is such a thing possible?”
“That’s too malicious... Does the leader of the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion not care?”
“What nonsense are you spouting?”
“Where did I fabricate anything?”
“Hmph, I’ve heard from people of the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion. Miss Hu’s fiancé loved her so much that he couldn’t bear to see her die, so he fed her his own flesh. She had no idea about it, and later, after her fiancé’s death, she learned the truth from the leader. Moreover, I heard that her fiancé seems to be proficient in immortal techniques and might not be dead.”
“Ah, is that so? Then where is he?”
“Who knows? I heard that during this time, Miss Hu from the Hu family comes to the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion every day to inquire about her fiancé’s whereabouts. She’s also a pitiful infatuated person.”
“So that’s what happened.”
“...”
Regarding the discussions of those around her, Hu Qian’er furrowed her brows slightly but didn’t say much. She walked straight into the Thousand Affairs Hall of the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion.
“Miss Hu, you’re here again.” Seeing Hu Qian’er’s arrival, the receptionist greeted her.
“Yes.” Hu Qian’er said, “Is there any news about Ye Xuan?”
“...”
Upon hearing this, the receptionist shook her head helplessly and said, “Miss Hu, forgive me for being straightforward. If we had news about Lord Ye Xuan, we would inform you promptly. You really don’t need to come here every day.”
“If I don’t come here, I have nowhere else to go.” Hu Qian’er sighed softly. She knew this would be the result.
Immortal cultivators weren’t omnipotent. In such a vast world, finding someone was not easy unless there was a fortuitous encounter. With regret, she turned to leave. However, at that moment, she suddenly saw a young man walking slowly into the entrance of the Thousand Affairs Hall of the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion.
The young man had extraordinary features, a tall figure, and a calm demeanor as he curiously surveyed the layout of the hall.
“!!!” The moment Hu Qian’er saw his face, she stood frozen in place.
“Um...” The receptionist girl took out a portrait from her task list and glanced at Ye Xuan standing at the door. She was very sure that this man, who was heavily rewarded to be found, was the person in front of her–!!!
He actually came voluntarily–!!!
However, the next moment, she felt a bit annoyed because Hu Qian’er was here. In other words, this person was found by Hu Qian’er herself, not related to the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion. This task was also invalidated...
However, after feeling annoyed, she showed a relieved smile. Anyway, Miss Hu finally found her beloved.
“Ye Xuan!!!” Hu Qian’er ran excitedly towards Ye Xuan. She was extremely confident that the person in front of her was definitely Ye Xuan.
She was overjoyed and couldn’t wait to embrace Ye Xuan. However, just as she was about to throw herself into Ye Xuan’s arms, she saw Ye Xuan looking at her with vigilance.
“Ye Xuan, you...” Faced with Ye Xuan’s vigilant gaze, all of Hu Qian’er’s excitement was extinguished in an instant.
“Young lady, how do you know my name?” Curiously, Ye Xuan asked her.
“Um...” Hu Qian’er finally remembered. She had heard from the leader of the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion that Ye Xuan’s situation was very special.
Although he could be reborn after death, he might not retain his memories from before his rebirth. It seemed that he had forgotten himself.
“Ye Xuan... Have you really forgotten me?!” She asked Ye Xuan with a hint of anticipation.
Ye Xuan asked Hu Qian’er, “Do you know me?”
“I do, I do!!” Hu Qian’er was overjoyed. “Do you... Do you not remember anything now? Come with me. I’ll have the leader show you what you did for me before. Then you’ll remember everything!!”
“Um...” Ye Xuan was speechless. Before he could answer, Hu Qian’er had already taken his hand and was leading him into the Thousand Affairs Hall.
“Elder Yuchen!!!” Passing through the hall of the Thousand Affairs Hall, they arrived at the rear corridor. Hu Qian’er shouted at an immortal cultivator of the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion who was standing by the fish pond.
Upon hearing this, the cultivator turned around and saw Ye Xuan, whose hand was being held by Hu Qian’er, and couldn’t help but brighten up. “Young Master Ye, I didn’t expect the rumors to be true... I thought... cough, I must have been mistaken. You really have been reborn–!”
He looked at Ye Xuan with curiosity and said to him.
“Um...” Ye Xuan looked puzzled. “What are you talking about? I seem to not understand. What you are saying...”
“Elder, as you said, it seems that Ye Xuan has no memories from before his rebirth. Can you try to help him remember what happened before?” Hu Qian’er asked the cultivator of the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion.
Hearing this, Yuchen looked at Ye Xuan and said, “It’s not impossible... However, I can only show him what happened to him before. Whether he can remember, I can’t guarantee.”
“Really? That’s great–!!!” Hearing this, Hu Qian’er couldn’t help but rejoice.
She turned to Ye Xuan and said, “Ye Xuan, you’ll know everything soon... Do you know how much I regret... If only I had found out earlier, your love for me, everything you did for me... If I had found out earlier, I wouldn’t have let you suffer so much–!”
“Um... You said I used to like you?” Ye Xuan’s expression became even more puzzled. He looked Hu Qian’er up and down and said, “It’s strange, I feel like I didn’t like someone like you.”
“Um...” Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Hu Qian’er couldn’t help but look embarrassed. She said, “What’s wrong with me... Hmph, you say you don’t like me. Wait until you see it later, and you’ll understand.”
“Hehe.” Hearing this, Yuchen beside them also chuckled and said, “Young Master Ye, you did indeed love Miss Hu to the extreme. The emotions you invested in her were truly touching. The girls of our Heavenly Mandate Pavilion were moved to tears when they heard about your deeds.
“Is that so... Did I really like her?” Ye Xuan looked at Hu Qian’er, pondering, and said, “Although I don’t have that kind of feeling... But, she is indeed beautiful. If time goes by, I might really like her.”
“Right, right–!!!” Hearing this, Hu Qian’er was overjoyed. He said I’m beautiful–!!!
——–
“Um...” Everyone from the Jade Fox Palace was dumbfounded.
Wait, what’s going on? Ye Xuan didn’t enter reincarnation and was directly reborn... What about Yu Ling’er waiting for him at the Naihe Bridge?
Yu Ling’er: Yeah, what about me?!
