Chapter 110: Could Anyone Really Do This?

In Hu Qianzao’s view, even if the Ye Xuan of her past life did indeed help her, it ultimately didn’t concern her present self. Furthermore, she believed that Ye Xuan had only helped her past self incidentally because of Yu Ling’er.

With this in mind, she felt even less need to dwell on the past. However, at this time, she also acknowledged that the Ye Xuan of the past wasn’t a bad person.

“Brother, it’s terrible, father is missing—!!!” Early in the morning, Yu Ling’er arrived at Ye Xuan’s room and knocked on his door. Ye Xuan came out and Yu Ling’er handed him a note.

Everyone was familiar with this scene, having seen it before. Yet, watching it now evoked different feelings.

At that time, Hu Wanquan had already been killed by Yu Tieshan, who then possessed Hu Wanquan’s body. So much had happened in just one night. Only Ye Xuan knew the truth.

But at that moment, constantly under surveillance by Yu Tieshan, he had no opportunity to explain the situation to Yu Ling’er. Otherwise, once he spoke out, Yu Tieshan would likely take his life, right?

In the scene, Hu Qian’er came from outside the guesthouse and saw Yu Ling’er and Ye Xuan embracing, her expression turning sour.

However, she didn’t notice that her father was quietly observing the situation in the courtyard from behind her. The look in those eyes belonged to Yu Tieshan.

“Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan, no matter how clever you are, you were still taught by me,” Yu Tieshan thought proudly. “Do you think you can deceive me? You’ve known the truth for a long time, which I am very aware of. Even though you hid well, I am sure you were hiding there at that time.”

“I am merely using your plan against you, letting you obediently cooperate in my play. Once you fall into the trap, do you think you will still be alive? Fortunately, I did not kill Ye Xuan yesterday, and unexpectedly, a righteous cultivator has appeared in such a short time…”

Thinking this, Yu Tieshan looked up into the sky. He saw a streak of light flying by, apparently heading to the site outside the city where he had fought Hu Wanquan the previous night. That streak of light was a disciple flying on his sword.

“If I forcibly killed Ye Xuan now, drawing the attention of the righteous cultivators, I would truly be finished. But this kid, no matter how clever, probably doesn’t know that besides secular warriors, there are also righteous cultivators walking the earth.”

“Otherwise, he wouldn’t have returned last night but would have gone to seek help from a righteous cultivator. This basic knowledge, even children are aware of, but Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er do not know it.”

“Ha ha ha. After all, I never told him that in every major city, there are stations of righteous cultivators. Whenever someone seeks help, the righteous cultivators are willing to assist. Now, I just need to keep a close watch on Ye Xuan and lead him step by step into a death trap.”

———

Hearing Yu Tieshan’s thoughts, the people of Jade Fox Palace were left speechless.

“No wonder I felt something was off. Why would Ye Xuan engage in a battle of wits with Yu Tieshan and not simply seek help from a cultivator’s station?”

“So, he truly didn’t know that ordinary people in this world have the opportunity to seek help from cultivators?”

“This common knowledge, Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er lack because they were raised from childhood by Yu Tieshan, who harbored ill intentions towards Ye Xuan and naturally wouldn’t let him know such crucial information.”

“Sss—!!!”

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped. It seemed Ye Xuan appeared to have won, but in reality, he lost. And Yu Tieshan, who appeared to have lost, actually won.

He won because Ye Xuan was unaware that he could seek help from cultivators, which was crucial information. No matter how clever Ye Xuan was, if there was no one who could definitely help him in this situation, other than facing death, he had no other option.

After all, Ye Xuan valued Yu Ling’er’s life more than his own. In such a situation, Ye Xuan was already doomed. This was also why he would end up having his martial abilities crippled and be thrown into prison by Yu Tieshan.

Yu Tieshan watched so closely, Ye Xuan didn’t even have a way to signal to Yu Ling’er. Just as everyone thought Ye Xuan was definitely going to lose, suddenly…

———

“What… Brother, what did you say?!!” Yu Ling’er expressed this thought silently, her face showing shock.

“I’m saying, Junior Sister, calm down a bit. If you show any hint of something unusual, I’m done for,” Ye Xuan communicated silently. At the same time, he embraced Yu Ling’er in his arms.

“Did I just hear Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er communicating silently?” Someone in the Jade Fox Palace wondered. “Is it just my imagination?”

“It doesn’t seem to be an illusion. I heard it too, could it be that Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er truly have a telepathic connection, allowing them to communicate silently?”

“Where in this world is such a thing possible? Absolutely not!”

“There were no fluctuations of spiritual power! What’s going on here?” Even with the veteran cultivators present, they couldn’t help but widen their eyes in surprise at the scene unfolding before them.

Yu Ling’er was overjoyed: “Could it be that my past self and Ye Xuan were truly connected at the soul level?! If so, then I surely wouldn’t have wronged him again, right?”

Her biggest fear now was that she might wrong Ye Xuan again and abandon him. At that moment, everyone focused intensely on Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er, eager to find out if they truly could communicate telepathically.

Suddenly, Qingxue noticed something. Her eyes lit up as she realized something but kept silent, instead looking around to see if anyone else understood.

When her gaze fell on Ye Xuan, she saw him smiling back at her, his eyes conveying that he understood everything. At that moment, Qingxue also understood. It seemed that Ye Xuan had figured it out, but it was unclear if there were any wise individuals within the Jade Fox Palace.

At the same time, Hu Qianzao also noticed something and spoke up: “Look, Ye Xuan’s fingers are rhythmically tapping on Yu Ling’er’s back, and Yu Ling’er is doing the same on his back. They are communicating in this manner, not through any form of telepathy.”

“Palace Master, are you joking? They just tapped a few times randomly; how could they be communicating like that?” someone responded to Hu Qianzao.

“Besides, Yu Tieshan is watching from not too far away. If Ye Xuan dared to signal Yu Ling’er in any subtle way, such as writing or whispering, he would have noticed it already.”

“No–!” Hu Qianzao, watching how Ye Xuan’s fingers continuously tapped on Yu Ling’er’s back, confidently said: “Ye Xuan is definitely using a sort of code to communicate with Yu Ling’er!”

“A code?” Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention back to the scene. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝓮𝓌𝑒𝒷𝘯ℴ𝑣𝓮𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Indeed, Ye Xuan’s fingers were moving constantly. But his movements were subtle and fast.

“What kind of code is this? Could it be a musical score?” pondered a male immortal from the Jade Fox Palace.

“Indeed, I’ve heard that the music masters of the Taihua Immortal Gate can communicate through their melodies. ‘A true understanding is hard to find,’ they say, meaning if you understand their melodies, you know their thoughts. This is a common method they use for coding.

“But that’s not right. This isn’t any musical score, and moreover, Yu Ling’er can understand what Ye Xuan means and match his code? That’s too far-fetched!”

“Exactly!”

Everyone would rather believe that Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er could understand each other’s intentions than believe they were communicating in this manner.

After all, this was a method they had never seen before. Could Ye Xuan have possibly foreseen this situation and prepared a code with Yu Ling’er in advance? In this world, would anyone actually do something like this?!!
