Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness

Chapter 66

Chapter 66

Watching Yu Ling’er and Elder Qingxue continue to cry, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but secretly smile. However, he didn’t show his happiness at this moment, for fear of being noticed by them.

Thinking for a moment, he said to Yu Ling’er and Elder Qingxue, “Hey, if that’s really me, I’m quite pitiful, aren’t I? Wronged and heartbroken by you two. How do you plan to compensate me?”

“Brother Ye Xuan… as long as you can forgive me, I’ll do anything,” Yu Ling’er quickly responded. Thinking about what she had done to Ye Xuan, she couldn’t stop crying, “Wuwu… I didn’t mean it, Brother Ye Xuan, I feel so bad, really bad…”

Elder Qingxue also looked at Ye Xuan, seeing his clear (feigned) eyes that seemed to be comforting her. She paused for a moment, then said, “I owe you too much from our past life… even more than you think. Just watch the rest, and when you’re done, you can do as you please with me.”

At this moment, her heart was filled with despair. Even as an immortal, she couldn’t stop her tears and had no desire for Ye Xuan’s consolation.

———

The scene shifted to Ye Xuan, who was also in tears. He sat alone in the courtyard, surrounded by empty bottles of alcohol. The once spirited young man now looked utterly defeated.

He fiercely grabbed a bottle and poured it into his mouth, “Jiang Ling’er… Mo Qingxue, are you really so heartless? Wouldn’t you even give me a chance to explain? Why, why!!! What did I do wrong?!!!”

As he spoke, he choked on the alcohol, coughing in sorrow, “Come back… please… come back…”

———

If Elder Qingxue had seen Ye Xuan like this before, she probably would have spat in disgust. After all the wrongs he had done, how dare he be sad? How dare he accuse her of being heartless? Did he have no shame?!!!

However, now, Elder Qingxue understood the whole truth. She realized that it was Ye Xuan who had always been bearing injustice. He had done everything for her, but what about her?

After receiving all his kindness, she left with endless hatred and inflicted immeasurable pain upon him. No matter how he tried to explain, she just wouldn’t listen…

Ye Xuan, once so proud and spirited, now seemed decades older, utterly defeated. Mo Qingxue used to think that Ye Xuan never loved her, but now, Elder Qingxue understood.

She had always failed to see the love hidden deep in Ye Xuan’s heart. If only she had been patient a little longer, maybe things would have turned out differently.

Of course, if Mo Qingxue had been more patient, according to the script, she would have faced even more torment… But this truth, Elder Qingxue would never know.

“How heartbroken must one be to change so drastically.” Watching Ye Xuan’s sorrowful demeanor in the scene, Yu Ling’er also couldn’t help but weep.

As a young girl, she couldn’t help but be curious. Who did Ye Xuan really love more, Jiang Ling’er or Mo Qingxue? Although Jiang Ling’er was the one Ye Xuan truly loved, Mo Qingxue had also spent a long time with Ye Xuan…

The scenes of their happy times together, even now, warmed Yu Ling’er’s heart. But those happy memories had shattered.

And now, with Elder Qingxue standing before Ye Xuan, intent on killing him, it indicated that in his past life, Ye Xuan probably ended up without any happy outcome with Elder Qingxue. That was too pitiful. It shouldn’t have been his fate…

He spent his life doing good, so why didn’t he receive any good in return?!!

———

“Master Ye, you can’t drink anymore… Even if you drink more, the Madama and Miss Jiang won’t come back…” A maid said to Ye Xuan, “Drinking harms the body.”

“Drinking harms the body… Hehe…” Ye Xuan replied, “So what? At least… it doesn’t hurt as much as when I’m sober. To think, loving someone can be so heartbreaking! No, it’s loving two people and not being able to have either of them…”

Seeing Ye Xuan like this, the maid sighed and then suggested, “Master Ye, didn’t you say you were cultivating? Why not focus on your cultivation? I heard that those who succeed in cultivation become immortals, omnipotent. Maybe then, you could find Miss Jiang and the Madam.”

“—!!!” Her words sparked a light in Ye Xuan’s eyes. He mumbled to himself, “Right… I’ve been so caught up in my sadness that I forgot. If I attain success in cultivation, I can go anywhere in heaven and earth.”

“I refuse to believe I can’t find them. Once I do, I’ll lock them up and explain everything. They won’t be allowed out until they’ve heard my whole explanation, hmph—!!!”

“Yes, Master Ye, that’s the spirit! With your talents, why wallow in sorrow—!!!” The maid encouraged him, “Once you’ve succeeded in cultivation, you can bring them back, lock them up, and slowly explain. They’ll have to believe you then—!!!”

“Phew—!!!” Ye Xuan sighed deeply, “If so, today shall be my last day of sorrow. From tomorrow, no more wasting time… You may leave.”

“Yes, Master Ye.” The maid left, sighing and shaking her head once out of Ye Xuan’s sight, “Cultivation isn’t that easy… Becoming an immortal, how is that even possible… I’ve never seen an immortal in my life…”

Ye Xuan stood up and gazed at a tree in the courtyard, his eyes melancholic. He began reciting a poem:

“The wind stops, the dust settles, the flowers are gone, I comb my hair no more in endless sorrow.

Things have changed, people are gone, it’s painful to be apart, I try to speak, but tears fall first.”

“They say the scenery by the creek is still beautiful, but it only adds to the memories and pain in my heart. Where can my broken heart escape to? A single day feels like three autumns have passed…”

He wasn’t trying to show off, but the Former Dust Mirror didn’t show inner thoughts. If he didn’t express his sorrow, Mo Qingxue and Yu Ling’er wouldn’t know his feelings while looking at the tree. They needed to deeply feel his ‘pain’ so they would regret it…

Ye Xuan’s goal wasn’t just to clear his name. He wanted to clear his name, earn rewards, and at the same time, take down these rebellious heroines. Yes, he was that despicable…

What’s wrong with being a little despicable if it serves the purpose? Being a good person handed a villain’s script, if he played the villain honestly, he’d be killed by the heroines. That would be the real injustice—!!!

———

The Former Dust Mirror can’t reveal the inner thoughts of those in the scenes, so at this moment, both Elder Qingxue and Yu Ling’er are experiencing a mix of sadness and joy.

They are saddened because Ye Xuan is so heartbroken. The grief weighs heavily on his heart, making each day feel like an eternity apart…

Elder Qingxue even starts recalling the days when Ye Xuan taught her to read and write, how she used to think studying was useless.

Only now does she realize that not only could reading help her cultivate, but it also deepened her understanding of the extent of Ye Xuan’s love for her.

But they’re also happy. Ye Xuan has finally decided to pull himself together. That’s great—!!! Honestly, watching Ye Xuan get sadder and more despondent day by day has been agonizing for them.

The guilt is like a knife cutting through their hearts, making them wish they could jump into the scene and slap their past selves.

“Cultivation relies on one’s spiritual roots, temperament, and insight…”

In the scene, Ye Xuan is sitting cross-legged in his courtyard. He’s meditating with a focused mind, and the spiritual qu of heaven and earth is rushing towards him at an incredible speed.

His absorption of spiritual Qi is so rapid that it causes a storm of spiritual Qi in the nearby area. However, since there are no real experts in Wuyuan Town, no one connects this storm to someone cultivating.

Eventually, Ye Xuan slowly opens his eyes: ‘I didn’t expect… in just a few years, I’ve already reached the Dao Fusion Realm!’ Looking up at the sky, his eyes show a hint of sorrow. ‘Is my tribulation approaching? Ah… I wonder if I can survive this ordeal.'”

(TL: If anyone has forgotten the cultivation realm levels here you go. Qi Gathering, Enlightment, Foundation Building, Object Manipulation, Spiritual Insight, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divine Transformation, Void Refinement, Dao Fusion.)
