Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness-Chapter 16 - Ye Xuan is Innocent, Yu Ling’er’s Regret

Chapter 16: Ye Xuan is Innocent, Yu Ling’er’s Regret

At this moment, Yu Ling’er had already become utterly disillusioned with her junior brother’s character. She couldn’t comprehend how someone’s character could degrade to such an extent. She had been trying to excuse and forgive Ye Xuan for abandoning her, yet why was he maligning Senior Brother Qin so?

Suppressing her anger, Yu Ling’er said to Ye Xuan, “If Senior Brother Qin is indeed such a despicable person, then by leaving me, weren’t you just allowing him to do as he pleases with me?”

“I had intended to die rather than leave.”

Ye Xuan responded, “But he threatened me with your life and purity… If I left, he wouldn’t harm you; if I stayed, he would…”

“Enough—!!!” Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Yu Ling’er exploded with anger. She interrupted him, looking at him with disdain:

“Ye Xuan, I never thought there could be such a despicable and shameless person in this world. Senior Brother Qin has been advising me, telling me not to blame you. But now, at the first opportunity, you directly slander him. Such an outrageous accusation, how could you come up with that?”

“Ye Xuan, I was wrong about you; you are indeed unworthy of forgiveness—!!! Your basic introductory training is over, you don’t need to come to me anymore—!!!” After saying this coldly, Yu Ling’er turned and left, leaving Ye Xuan alone, standing there dumbfounded. In that moment, his eyes were filled with a gray despair…

Watching this unfold before her eyes, Yu Ling’er deeply inhaled, even though she couldn’t actually perform such an action. But she felt as if she was doing so. Closing her eyes, she continuously saw Ye Xuan’s despairing gaze in her mind. She truly wronged him.

At that moment, his sincerity towards her was immense; he was even willing to die for her. Yet she labeled him as the most despicable and shameless person in the world, casting him into an abyss. At the time he needed support the most, she failed to trust him.

Yu Ling’er, anyone in this world might have the right to call Ye Xuan heartless and crazy. Anyone could say Ye Xuan is a great demon. But do you really have the right to say such things? At this moment, Yu Ling’er’s stance wavered.

She had always thought that Ye Xuan was inherently vile and crazy, which led him to commit numerous despicable acts. But now, she realized she had misunderstood him from the beginning. At least, he didn’t deceive her initially. If she had tried to believe him from the start, might things have turned out differently?

The plot within the scene continued, but…

Every day, Yu Ling’er could only see Ye Xuan alone in his room at night, in despair. He didn’t even dare to look at her anymore because her gaze was the greatest injury to him.

As Yu Ling’er felt moved and saddened by Ye Xuan’s past, regretting her actions, a sudden realization struck her. “Where did Ye Xuan learn such demonic arts? He was always at Qingyan Peak, never descending the mountain…”

Indeed, how did Ye Xuan practice demonic arts?

In the scene, the plot slowly progressed. This period was probably the most despairing days for Ye Xuan. His master never paid much attention to him. Because of Yu Ling’er, the eldest and second senior brothers also stopped caring for Ye Xuan as they did at the beginning.

Watching the scene unfold, Yu Ling’er was constantly filled with regret. If only she had trusted Ye Xuan back then, perhaps none of those terrible events would have occurred. Maybe it was the despair of that time that led Ye Xuan to commit such heinous acts later.

Although Ye Xuan was responsible for his actions, it was her induced despair that drove him to it. During this time, Yu Ling’er, in addition to her regret, also felt a deep self-loathing. However, she never saw when Ye Xuan started practicing demonic arts, until that day…

“Hahaha… boy, I can feel your despair. You’re hating someone, aren’t you?” One day, as Ye Xuan was meditating, suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind.

“Who’s there?!!” Ye Xuan tried to open his eyes, but found himself surrounded by darkness. Nothing…

“Come on, tell me, who do you hate? Let me relieve your worries.”

The voice, as if coming from the depths of an endless abyss, seemed to hold a bewitching power, tempting Ye Xuan to reveal his innermost feelings. Ye Xuan couldn’t see the owner of the voice, but he gradually became enthralled by it, as if falling into its world.

“This is—!!!” Ye Xuan couldn’t see the world before him, but Yu Ling’er could see it clearly. Behind Ye Xuan, there was an extremely ugly monster, whispering words that could relax one’s guard into his ear. The monster, with limbs like dry branches and a body like a rotten dog, was entirely black. Despite being much larger than Ye Xuan, it seemed to be clinging onto him.

“A Heart Demon—!!!” At that moment, Yu Ling’er’s expression changed drastically. She had always thought that Ye Xuan, because of his devotion to her, turned evil after being spurned by her and believing in Senior Brother Yu Shou. But now she realized, it wasn’t Ye Xuan who became wicked, but he was beguiled by a Heart Demon.

Such occurrences are rare even in the whole world of cultivation. A Heart Demon isn’t just a mental barrier but a real demon known for its ability to hide and manipulate minds. Once someone falls under its influence, they become its puppet…

And at this moment, Yu Ling’er panicked. Ye Xuan, under her ice-sealing curse, was awaiting death… Regardless of the evil acts the Ye Xuan in the scene might commit in the future, the current Ye Xuan was innocent, manipulated by the Heart Demon.

Thinking this, Yu Ling’er screamed in her mind:

“Beidou Star Lord, please, I need to save him—!!!” Although she couldn’t physically shout or move, her will was set on this action.

For the first time in her life, Yu Ling’er was so desperately eager to do something, even more so than when she wanted to kill Ye Xuan. Because she understood now. It was all a misunderstanding, all of it! She had misunderstood Ye Xuan. He was innocent. She not only wronged his actions but also his character. “Oh heavens, Yu Ling’er, what unforgivable thing have you done…”
