Chapter 111: Ye Xuan, What a Great Man

No one would believe that two inexperienced young people, idly bored, would use such a code. Moreover, they could communicate even though neither understood the code themselves.

Therefore, the people of the Jade Fox Palace would rather believe that Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er truly understood each other’s hearts. However, at this moment…

———

In the scene, a memory appears.

“Senior brother, what are you doing?”

At that moment, Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er were watching the sunset when suddenly Ye Xuan took Yu Ling’er’s hand and lightly tapped on her palm.

“Ling’er, Ling’er, you’ve grown up.” Ye Xuan said, “There are some things I should tell you now.”

“?!” Hearing this, Yu Ling’er curiously asked, “Senior brother, what is it?”

Ye Xuan said, “I think that we need to be different from others. When we speak to others, we do it through our mouths, and our words could be overheard, thus they wouldn’t be our secret anymore.”

“So, I have developed a way of communicating that doesn’t involve speaking. This way, we can understand each other’s thoughts without anyone else realizing what we are saying.”

“I want to teach you this method of communication, as a secret just between the two of us. When you were younger, I was afraid you might tell others. Now, Ling’er, would you like to learn this communication method that only the two of us will use?”

Hearing this, Yu Ling’er couldn’t hide her excitement and joyfully said, “A secret just between me and senior brother? I want to learn, I want to learn—!”

“Well, listen closely, my method of communication is unique. To learn it, we need to have our own language system…”

“Hahaha, that would be wonderful, senior brother, then we can whisper secrets that no one else can hear—!” 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑒𝔀𝓮𝘣𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝓵.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Years later, after finally mastering the code that Ye Xuan taught her, Yu Ling’er was overjoyed.

However, Ye Xuan said, “Ling’er, you must remember, this code is our greatest secret. So, when I use this code to speak to you, it is always from the bottom of my heart, and you must not doubt it at all.”

“Likewise, when you use this code to speak to me, I will also have no doubts. If you ask me to die, I will not hesitate and will immediately do so. Therefore, you must be careful when using this code to speak.”

“Senior brother, I understand.” Seeing Ye Xuan speaking so seriously, Yu Ling’er nodded solemnly, “I will never misuse our secret.”

——

“Sss—!!!”

Witnessing the scene in the memory, where Ye Xuan taught Yu Ling’er the code, everyone at the Jade Fox Palace was shocked. Does someone like Ye Xuan really exist in this world?!!

Just to keep a secret between him and Yu Ling’er, he actually developed a completely independent language system from the normal one, and then encoded these languages to teach Yu Ling’er?

It’s rare that such a code system, which is only useful between Ye Xuan and others, was something Yu Ling’er was willing to learn and she learned it so earnestly?!

But it was precisely because of such past events that now Ye Xuan could communicate with Yu Ling’er in front of Yu Tieshan without being discovered.

This truly shows that forewarned is forearmed—! Unfortunately, Ye Xuan did not know that Yu Tieshan planned to kill him. Even if he warned Yu Ling’er, it would probably be in vain.

Ah, such brilliance in Ye Xuan, truly too clever.

What a pity, such a pity, if only he could be more fortunate, his future would truly be boundless.

Thinking this, everyone sighed helplessly, their eyes returning to the scene.

———

“Ling’er, listen carefully to what I’m about to say, it’s all true and concerns my life, stay calm.” Ye Xuan then spoke to Yu Ling’er using the code.

“Your father killed his master, who is also your grandfather, and your father also killed your mother.

Your uncle is not a good person either; he harbored ill intentions towards you.”

“Last night, he wanted to kill me and your father but was killed by your father instead. Your father used sorcery to take over uncle’s body, and now, he resides within your uncle.”

“He now mistakenly thinks that I am unaware of his act of taking over my uncle’s body, so he didn’t kill me last night but instead tried to win me over under the guise of my uncle’s identity.”

“However, I suspect he doesn’t truly believe that I am unaware of his actions. As for why he didn’t kill me, he must have other concerns. I need you to find out what he’s worried about and then figure out a way to save my life—!”

“Remember, your father is not a good man, and if you try to reason with him, my life would be in jeopardy. Also, your father might target Hu Qian’er, because she knows her father best and might spot something amiss. You must find a way to keep her safe; she is innocent.”

“—!!!”

At that moment, Yu Ling’er’s face turned pale.

She had clearly analyzed all the codes Ye Xuan had given her. In just a short while, Ye Xuan had told her too many things that were hard for her to accept.

But she had no choice but to accept them because these were words spoken through the code, leaving no room for doubt. If she doubted them, it would be akin to sending Ye Xuan to his death.

Ye Xuan had made it very clear that this concerned his life. Tears involuntarily streamed down her cheeks. At that moment, she had to believe everything Ye Xuan said unconditionally, even though she didn’t fully understand some of it immediately.

Even though Ye Xuan said her father killed her mother, her grandfather, and took over her uncle’s body. Each of these revelations shook Yu Ling’er’s worldview to its core.

Under normal circumstances, she might have broken down. But now, she had to consider Ye Xuan’s situation first—!

In Ye Xuan’s arms, she said to Ye Xuan using the code: “Senior brother, given this circumstances, why didn’t you flee last night?”

“I had thought about fleeing.” Ye Xuan replied in code: “But I didn’t dare gamble on whether your father would harm Hu Qian’er out of his depravity because he deliberately let me know the truth, intending to kill me.

“I didn’t want to regret it later, so I came back to ask you to protect Hu Qian’er.”

“You consider her… What about me?” Yu Ling’er asked somewhat jealously.

“I can only hope you will be safe.” Ye Xuan responded: “Otherwise, whether I return or not, you would be in danger.”

Yu Ling’er wept silently, knowing that when speaking in code, she couldn’t let emotions get the best of her. Yet, at that moment, she still felt jealous. Her beloved came back not for her but for another woman.

But she understood that Ye Xuan was right. If her father was mad enough to target her, Ye Xuan coming back for her would have been meaningless, merely joining her in death.

Ye Xuan chose not to find another way but to risk himself to lower her father’s guard, so maybe she could protect Hu Qian’er. He was risking his life to save Hu Qian’er— With his intelligence, he shouldn’t have done this.

“Senior brother, why did you do this? Do you really fancy her, especially since she is now your fiancée…?” She asked Ye Xuan using the code.

“Silly girl… I just don’t want to regret someday in the future that I didn’t save an innocent woman, as for the fiancée matter, I never took it seriously.”

Ye Xuan stroked Yu Ling’er’s hair and comforted.

———

As they watched everything unfold on the screen, the people in the Jade Fox Palace were once again stunned by Ye Xuan, who had come back not for Yu Ling’er, but for Hu Qian’er?

Not for any fiancée, just so he wouldn’t one day regret having not saved an innocent woman? What a great man he is—!!! But the later fate of Ye Xuan…
