“You, at the very least, are a cultivator, a disciple of the prestigious Taihua Immortal Sect. How could you commit such a despicable act as indecently assaulting a virtuous young lady? It’s truly a disgrace to our sect!”
If it were an ordinary person, being imprisoned would mean at least several days behind bars. However, Ye Xuan was a cultivator after all. After revealing his identity, the prison officials didn’t give him a hard time.
However, when releasing Ye Xuan, one of the officials couldn’t resist giving him a lecture, “You’re a cultivator, why not spend some time in the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion? If you’re short on money, you can spend less.”
Upon hearing the lecture from the prison official, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but be speechless. He explained, “You’ve got it wrong... I really didn’t lie. That young lady truly is the reincarnation of my wife. When I saw her, I couldn’t help myself.”
“Hahaha...” The prison official burst into laughter upon hearing this. “Only you know if that’s true. Do you think I’ll believe you? How many people in this world deceive innocent young girls with such stories?”
Ye Xuan was speechless. He didn’t bother to explain further and left the prison alone, heading back to where he had encountered Hu Qianzao before.
Watching Ye Xuan’s figure disappear, one of the prison guards asked the prison official, “Boss, are we just letting him go like that?”
“What else can we do?” The prison official gave the guard a stern look and then looked in the direction Ye Xuan had left. “After all, he’s a disciple of the Taihua Immortal Sect. He just hugged a girl, what else can I do to him?”
“Pfft... Ridiculous!”
The guard spat towards the direction Ye Xuan left, disdainfully saying, “I thought only those wealthy young masters would do such things as molesting virtuous young ladies. I didn’t expect even cultivator disciples to do such things. It’s simply tarnishing the reputation of cultivators!”
“That’s right! Does such a person even deserve to cultivate?!”
Watching Ye Xuan being looked down upon by the two guards, the people from the Jade Fox Palace couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed.
Even though Ye Xuan explained himself, why did no one believe him?
“Why... why is it like this... It’s one thing if others don’t believe me, but I didn’t expect Qianzao not to believe me either. She... has she really forgotten about me so completely?”
Ye Xuan searched the entire street, but he couldn’t find Hu Qianzao’s figure again. At this moment, a hint of frustration appeared on his face.
He used to be so carefree when he first descended from the mountain. But now, just because he met Hu Qianzao, he felt like a different person.
The unfamiliar expression on Hu Qianzao’s face when she looked at him made him feel like his heart had been pierced.
It was very uncomfortable. But he knew that now wasn’t the time to be frustrated. Hu Qianzao had grown up, but she was still a stranger to him.
This was a very dangerous sign!
If Hu Qianzao fell in love with someone else during this time, Ye Xuan couldn’t imagine whether he would still have the courage to live.
Since fate had given him another chance to meet Hu Qianzao, he had to seize this opportunity. He absolutely wouldn’t let it slip away.
In the scene, Ye Xuan’s worries suddenly infected all the disciples of the Jade Fox Palace.
Feeling a bit conflicted, the catwoman Xing looked at Hu Qianzao and asked, “Sister... You... haven’t fallen for someone else, have you?!”
She knew about the future scene where Ye Xuan tortured Hu Qianzao, so she believed that Hu Qianzao shouldn’t easily let Ye Xuan off.
But she also didn’t want Hu Qianzao to fall in love with someone else. This way, it’s too despairing for Ye Xuan, isn’t it?
As soon as she said this, everyone around turned their gaze towards this side. Obviously, everyone was eager to know what would happen in the future.
Judging from Hu Qianzao’s current behavior, at least she shouldn’t have remembered that they once loved each other. So, during this time, did she fall in love with someone else?!
“I didn’t!!” Hu Qianzao hastily said, her gaze already shifting towards Ye Xuan as she spoke. That sincere expression seemed to want to make Ye Xuan believe her...
But soon, she withdrew that gaze. Why should she need to make Ye Xuan believe her? It seemed as if she really felt guilty towards Ye Xuan.
But... she really did feel guilty towards Ye Xuan. Just thinking about it made her feel embarrassed.
“You’ll see if you keep watching.”
“I was really foolish!!”
At this moment, Ye Xuan returned to the place where he had encountered Hu Qianzao before. He patted his head and said, “I almost forgot about my Taihua Mountain’s Dream Technique. With the Mystic Dream Technique, I should be able to find out where she went...”
Saying that, Ye Xuan condensed spiritual power in his hand and activated the spell. Immediately, Ye Xuan seemed to enter a dreamlike state. He saw everything that had happened before.
(After he was sent to prison by the guards of the Holy Capital, Hu Qianzao was preparing to leave.
“Miss, I’m Liu Yuan. Would you mind telling me your name?” The scholar stopped Hu Qianzao and asked her. As he spoke, the admiration on his face couldn’t be concealed.
“Seeing as you’ve helped me, it’s no harm to tell you my name. I’m Hu Qianzao.”
“Hu Qianzao?” The scholar’s eyes brightened at these words and praised, “What a good name. Miss, do you have anywhere in mind to go?”
“I haven’t thought about where to go, just wandering around.” Hu Qianzao said.
The scholar asked again, “I see. That’s great. Miss, you may not know, but today, the Holy Emperor has ordered a Hundred Flowers Ceremony in the Fuxiang Garden.”
“Celebrities and literati who have come from afar will all go to the Fuxiang Garden to admire the flowers. I don’t know if I have the honor to invite you to visit the Fuxiang Garden with me?”
“Don’t agree to him...” Watching the scene in the dream, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but whisper.
“Well, okay, I’m not familiar with this place, so I’ll trouble you to be my guide.” However, the Hu Qianzao in the dream didn’t hear Ye Xuan’s words and just smiled at Liu Yuan.
This smile, like the blooming of myriad beauties in an instant, for a moment, Liu Yuan looked at Hu Qianzao’s appearance and felt intoxicated. There could actually be such a beauty in the world.
Then, in the dream, there was a scene of Hu Qianzao and Liu Yuan leaving together. The next moment, the dream shattered, and Ye Xuan returned to reality.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel heartbroken. “She actually agreed to go admire flowers with someone else... She really forgot all our promises...”
Ye Xuan’s heartbroken appearance made the disciples of the Jade Fox Palace also feel distressed. Clearly, they had made a promise for the next life, but after the next life, they were completely forgotten by the other party.
Even seeing the other party agreeing to someone else’s invitation made them feel so uncomfortable.
A little fox ran up to Hu Qianzao and said, “Palace Master, you’re going too far. Are you worthy of Brother Ye Xuan?!”
“Uh...” Hearing the little fox’s accusation, Hu Qianzao couldn’t help but look guilty.
I... I really owe Ye Xuan. For her at that time, someone inviting her to admire flowers wasn’t a big deal. She didn’t know what kind of promises she had made to someone else in the past.
But now, knowing that she had once promised Ye Xuan, even after being reborn, she would definitely make Ye Xuan fulfill the promise and let Ye Xuan renew their relationship.
She realized that her agreement to go admire flowers with Liu Yuan was such a heartbreaking thing for Ye Xuan. Even if it was just admiring flowers with someone of the opposite sex, it wasn’t a big deal.
But if she already had a lifetime promise with someone else, this was something she shouldn’t have done. Ye Xuan was truly wronged.
