691: I really want to understand, the mean and ungrateful Ye Chenxiao
"Why?"
At this point, Zhao Xuehua finally confirmed that Ye Chenxiao wanted to kill her.
But why?
She truly couldn't understand why Ye Chenxiao wanted to kill her.
Had she not been good enough to Ye Chenxiao?
"Why? Hahaha, Zhao Xuehua, do you really take me, Ye Chenxiao, for a fool?"
Ye Chenxiao laughed uproariously, then a self-mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It was in vain that he had been sincere towards Zhao Xuehua, thinking she was different from others, a person who hated evil as if it were her enemy and held firm to her original heart.
He trusted Zhao Xuehua so much, but he never expected that this was all a scheme.
A scheme to use him as a stepping stone, to kill him, and to take his place.
"Huo!!!"
The two had a history.
Everyone's eyes flickered, and they perked up their ears to listen.
Ming Yu suddenly had a feeling of realization.
These two... perhaps there was some misunderstanding, and this misunderstanding was enough to make Ye Chenxiao want to kill Zhao Xuehua.
This also explained why Gu Qing was so certain that the two would end up on the Life-and-Death Arena.
Perhaps Zhao Xuehua's sudden closed-door cultivation was also Gu Qing's doing?
"What do you mean?"
Zhao Xuehua was even more bewildered.
"Still pretending? Fine, today I'll let you die knowing why."
A cold sneer played on Ye Chenxiao's lips: "You tried to harm me with a fake jade talisman, but you didn't expect that I have great luck, did you?"
"So that's it..."
Zhao Xuehua suddenly understood; no wonder Ye Chenxiao's attitude towards her changed drastically after returning from the Boundless Secret Realm. So the problem lay here.
But... Zhao Xuehua asked, puzzled: "Why would I use a jade talisman to harm you?"
That jade talisman was something she had begged her father for on her knees for a long time.
She herself was reluctant to use it, and precisely because she didn't have a jade talisman, her father wouldn't allow her to enter the Boundless Secret Realm, as the Boundless Secret Realm was too dangerous.
But she never expected that her good intentions would become the sharp weapon Ye Chenxiao used to kill her.
How ridiculous was that?
A desolate smile appeared on Zhao Xuehua's face.
"Naturally, you wanted to take my place."
Ye Chenxiao sneered. Facing death, Zhao Xuehua still wouldn't admit it.
"How would I take your place?"
Zhao Xuehua's red lips moved, and she spoke with difficulty.
That's right.
Everyone else also looked confused.
If Zhao Xuehua harmed Ye Chenxiao to death, how would she take his place?
How could the Star Saint Mother accept a Disciple who killed another Disciple?
Moreover, killing Ye Chenxiao was a major taboo of the Holy Sect.
Ye Chenxiao's sneer froze on his face, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.
Had he guessed wrong?
No, impossible.
That jade talisman had almost killed him.
The jade talisman was definitely fake; if it were a true jade talisman refined by the Star Saint Mother, there would be no mistakes whatsoever.
"Young Master, is there a possibility that the jade talisman was real, but its power diminished a bit from being stored for too long?"
At this moment, in the silent world, Hong Luan's extremely charming voice rang out.
Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Hong Luan in a vibrant red dress, her round, straight long legs occasionally appearing and disappearing through the slit in the skirt.
The long dress swayed, her demeanor enchanting, coupled with the amorousness in her eyes, she was simply a femme fatale who could bring ruin to a nation.
"What do you mean?"
Ye Chenxiao's gaze was like a knife, coldly fixed on Hong Luan.
Hong Luan's red lips curved slightly: "Literally. What, Young Master didn't hear clearly just now? Do you need me to repeat it?"
Ye Chenxiao had indeed heard clearly, but he instinctively refused to believe it.
He prided himself on being almost demonically intelligent, capable of seeing through any conspiracy or trick at a glance.
"Young Master is unwilling to admit it?"
Hong Luan chuckled lightly, her captivating beautiful eyes full of mockery.
"That's true. Young Master prides himself on being exceptionally clever, how could he make such a low-level mistake?"
"It's just that, Young Master, your nature is harsh and ungrateful, and you are suspicious and self-obsessed."
"When the jade talisman had a problem, your first suspicion was that someone was trying to harm you. You never looked for the cause within yourself, nor would you admit your own incompetence."
"So you blamed all the faults on Zhao Xuehua, even though her kindness to you was as vast as a mountain, you could still find a hypocritical and ridiculous reason to convince yourself."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone suddenly understood that Ye Chenxiao wanted to kill Zhao Xuehua because of the jade talisman.
They had no doubt about the truth of Hong Luan's words.
Because they already knew that Ye Chenxiao was a hypocrite who was different on the inside than on the outside.
On the surface, Ye Chenxiao was a person who adhered to his beliefs, was clear about grievances and gratitude, and was decisive in his actions.
In reality, he was a harsh, ungrateful, selfish, and hypocritical scoundrel.
Many Disciples close to Ye Chenxiao had been harmed to death by him.
Ye Chenxiao always sought revenge, never repaying kindness.
This was also why they all detested Ye Chenxiao and wished to get rid of him quickly.
Only Zhao Xuehua foolishly believed that Ye Chenxiao was loyal and righteous, a favored son of heaven who held firm to his original heart.
Understanding the reason, everyone immediately looked at the two with the gaze of watching clowns, scanning back and forth.
"Hong Luan..."
Hong Luan had practically ripped off his deepest hidden mask.
Ye Chenxiao's eyes instantly turned red. He had never felt so humiliated, indignant, and murderous as he did at this moment.
He felt his old face burning, wanting to destroy the world, wanting to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"I'm just helping Young Master with his worries, why does Young Master look at me like that?"
Hong Luan stroked her red hair, her demeanor charming, but her eyes were full of mockery.
"Hahaha!"
"Hong Luan, that's naturally because you tore off his hypocritical mask. Such a selfish scoundrel is truly a disgrace to our sect."
Ming Yu laughed loudly.
"Hmph!"
Ye Chenxiao took a deep breath, staring fixedly at Hong Luan, gnashing his teeth, almost speaking through clenched teeth.
"How did you know about the jade talisman? Whose person are you exactly? What is your purpose in approaching me?"
"Naturally, my... good sister told me."
"I came here with no other intention than to see Young Master off on his final journey, after all, Young Master saved me and Yao Yao," Hong Luan said with a light chuckle.
Gu Qing's current identity could not be exposed yet, so she could only temporarily refer to her as a sister.
Thinking of Gu Qing mentioning herself with the jade-like fate, Hong Luan couldn't help but want to laugh.
And she really did laugh.
Her smile was bright and charming, like a blooming peony, beautiful and dazzling.
"Sister? Is your sister the newly appointed Vice Sect Master? Why does she know so much?"
Ye Chenxiao felt that the mastermind behind the scheme against him was very likely this Vice Sect Master.
Everyone looked at Ming Yu with strange eyes.
When did their big male Vice Sect Master become female?
Vice Sect Master Ming Yu: ... "What are you looking at?"
Ming Yu was furious.
"Cough!"
Everyone retracted their gazes, wanting to laugh but not daring to; this truly was Ming Yu's only joke in hundreds of millions of years.
After returning, they would surely have a good laugh.
"None of these are important."
Hong Luan shook her head slightly and said, "Young Master, I think you should be more concerned now with how to face the wrath of Yang Yan Heavenly Human after killing Zhao Xuehua."
"Why would I kill Senior Sister?" Ye Chenxiao sneered.
Since the misunderstanding had been resolved, he naturally wouldn't kill Zhao Xuehua anymore.
"Young Master, could it be that you forgot that you are on the Life-and-Death Arena? Only one of you two can walk out alive."
Hong Luan looked at him as if he were an idiot, her mockery unconcealed.
She truly wanted to know what grand and righteous excuse a hypocrite like Ye Chenxiao would use this time to convince himself to kill Zhao Xuehua.
That's right.
This was the Life-and-Death Arena.
Ye Chenxiao's expression changed slightly, and his gaze suddenly turned to Zhao Xuehua.
Zhao Xuehua also looked at Ye Chenxiao with a pair of dead eyes, her heart filled with sorrow.
