Chapter 22: Yu Ling’er’s Despair
At this moment, within the scene, the truth was finally revealed. Yu Ling’er couldn’t help but feel overjoyed. “This is great… The truth is finally out, and everyone’s misunderstanding about Brother Yu Xuan has been cleared.”
However, the next moment, Yu Ling’er realized something. Although the misunderstanding had been clarified, Brother Yu Xuan was now possessed by demonic forces. He was about to personally kill his own parents and two senior brothers…
Thinking of this, Yu Ling’er couldn’t help but feel a surge of guilt. It was a misunderstanding that she had caused, and yet, she had been happy about the misunderstanding being cleared, forgetting that her parents and senior brothers were about to die. She really shouldn’t have.
At this moment, her emotions were incredibly complex. She felt excitement for Ye Xuan clearing his name, satisfaction in seeing Yu Shou get his comeuppance, and sorrow for her parents who were about to die at the hands of Ye Xuan… It was a mixture of emotions, and for the first time in her life, she realized how complex a person’s feelings could be.
“Yu Xuan, it was I who misunderstood you——!!” At this moment, Elder Qingyan, filled with guilt, was apologizing to Ye Xuan. Mistress Qingshuang also looked at Ye Xuan with eyes filled with regret. Although the current Ye Xuan was enveloped in demonic Qi, terrifying to behold, in their eyes, Ye Xuan was just a pitiable child whom they had let down.
“Master…” Yu Shou had confessed all the despicable things he had done, and the truth was out. The master, mistress, and several senior brothers all knew the truth now.
At this moment, Ye Xuan felt incredibly excited. He had never been so happy in his life, and he wished time could stop at this moment. However, at this moment, behind Ye Xuan, the inner demon began to speak. It whispered softly: “Do you see? Kid, with my help, you can easily eliminate those you hate the most and reclaim the one you love the most. How wonderful is that?”
Ye Xuan’s body was once again engulfed in demonic Qi.
Watching this scene unfold, Yu Ling’er couldn’t bear to watch and turned her eyes away. Next, the inner demon would surely tempt Brother Yu Xuan to kill her parents. This was something happening right before her eyes, there could be no mistake…
Although she knew Ye Xuan was being tempted by the inner demon, the person committing those acts was still Ye Xuan’s form, so at this moment, Yu Ling’er couldn’t help but feel a hint of hatred towards Ye Xuan.
“If only his will had been stronger, he wouldn’t have been beguiled by the inner demon. Although he chose to obey the inner demon as a last resort to, he still ended up killing his my own parents and senior brothers. If it wasn’t for my second chance at life, giving me an opportunity to start over, how could I even be with him? Ah, fate is indeed too cruel.”
“Kid, what are you doing?!!”
However, what happened next in the scene was beyond Yu Ling’er’s expectation. She saw that Ye Xuan, who had been possessed by the inner demon, was gradually expelling it from his body.
His willpower was so strong!
“I sincerely helped you, kid. Is this how you repay me?!” The inner demon’s fierce gaze was fixed on Ye Xuan, “Look, I am the one who cares about you the most in this world. Your beloved woman, your master, your mistress, your senior brothers, have they ever truly cared for you? Even now, they only feel guilty towards you, but they don’t truly value you. These people, they all deserve to die—!”
As the inner demon’s temptation continued, a terrifying murderous intent began to rise in Ye Xuan’s eyes. His gaze shifted to Elder Qingyan and Mistress Qing Shuang, and then to his two senior brothers.
“Yu Xuan, what are you doing?!” Seeing the murderous intent in Ye Xuan’s eyes, Elder Qing Yan’s expression changed. Could it be that, overwhelmed by grievances, he now sought to kill them? “Don’t do anything foolish—!!!”
“Uh… Ah…” Ye Xuan’s expression turned fierce, and he pressed his hands to his face, as if enduring immense pain. His gaze, steadfast and determined, turned to Yu Ling’er lying on the ground. His love for Yu Ling’er had given him incredible willpower, allowing him to expel the already possessed inner demon.
“Impossible, a mere mortal dares to defy my control—!!!” The inner demon was shocked: “Kid, you’re biting the hand that feeds you, don’t blame me for being ruthless—!”
The next moment, a stream of demonic Qi from the inner demon attacked Yu Ling’er, who was lying on the ground.
“Stop—!!!” Ye Xuan tried to save Yu Ling’er, but he could only watch helplessly as the demonic energy entered her body. “What have you done?” he demanded from the inner demon.
“Heh heh… Kid, I’ll show you the power of my force—!!!”
At that moment, Yu Ling’er, who was lying on the ground, raised her head, her eyes gleaming with the inner demon’s evil light, and her voice became chaotic and piercing. It turned out that the real voice of the inner demon was so grating to the ears of those not beguiled by it.
“???!!!” Yu Ling’er initially thought that what would follow was Ye Xuan being tempted by the inner demon to kill her parents. But what was this situation now?!! Why was it her being controlled by the inner demon? Why didn’t she have any recollection of this?!! Ah, this—!!!
“Kid, I’m going to show you the price of betraying my kindness—!” At this moment, the inner demon easily controlled the unconscious Yu Ling’er’s body and spoke to Ye Xuan using her expressions: “Next, you better watch closely, hehehehe…” Saying this, Yu Ling’er’s face showed an unprecedented evil look.
“Stop—!!!” Ye Xuan couldn’t help but exclaim in shock. The inner demon had already picked up Yu Ling’er’s sword and was standing next to the eldest senior brother, Yu Hao.
“No—!!!” Watching this scene, Yu Ling’er also couldn’t help but cry out in shock. Could it be that the one who killed the eldest senior brother was herself? And the one who killed the second senior brother too? What about her parents?!! No… No, she clearly saw with her own eyes that it was Brother Yu Xuan who killed them.
