Ling Yichen and the rest knew that Ling Chuxi would not let him go that easily and unconsciously stepped forward, surrounding Ye Qianhe.
Ye Qianhe’s expression changed. He knew he had fallen into Ling Chuxi’s hands, and had no chance of escaping. Recalling the first time he had seen Ling Chuxi, he had wanted to forcibly take her as a disciple and had chased her for thousands of miles in the Silver Ancient Mountain Range, but had been slapped by Ling Wushang in the end. Later, he met Mo Kongyuan, and was slapped again. From then onwards, he realized that meeting Ling Chuxi meant bad luck, and she was the star of misfortune in his life. He thought he would have peace of mind by escaping to the Sacred Realm of Sects, but didn’t expect to be expelled from his sect as soon as he came back. Then, he unexpectedly met Ling Chuxi again in his pathetic state.
‘Could it be that this is my destiny?!’ Thinking about the carefree and comfortable past and looking at his predicament today, Ye Qianhe suddenly felt a sense of despair. Even if he died at the hands of Ling Chuxi, it could be considered an eye for an eye.
“Fine… I was wrong at that time. If you want to do it, then do it, but please take into account that this old man didn’t actually hurt you, and please give this old man a painless end,” Ye Qianhe waved his hand and said dispiritedly. Knowing that he would surely die, his body felt light, and there were no signs of resistance at all.
Ling Chuxi looked at him strangely. She just wanted to teach him a lesson, but why was he acting as if he was going to die? What had happened to Ye Qianhe?
“Why didn’t you bring up your sect to scare people today?” Ling Chuxi asked suspiciously. Due to the opening ceremony of the Golden Pill Sect, she was not willing to make enemies with other sects during this time. If he were to bring up his Heavenly Star Sect’s identity then Ling Chuxi naturally would not be able to kill him.
“As things are today, I no longer have to hide it from you. I have been defeated many times by you, so I wanted to return to the sect to learn a few tricks, but I was expelled from the sect the moment I went back. I only have myself to blame for doing too many evil deeds. Now, I am no longer a disciple of the sect, and I don’t even have a foothold in this realm, so there isn’t much meaning to living either. Being able to die by your hand can be regarded as atonement for my past actions,” Ye Qianhe said lifelessly.
Only now did Ling Chuxi know why he was so desolate… he had been kicked out of his sect. Ye Qianhe seemed sincere, with real intentions of repentance, and it made Ling Chuxi hesitate.
If Ling Chuxi thought about it carefully… if Ye Qianhe had made up his mind to kill her, he would have had the chance to do so. He was moved by his love for talent and wanted to accept her as a disciple, so he repeatedly showed her mercy. Although he had been screaming about killing her, he had never actually made a move. And that time facing Ren Youran… if Ye Qianhe hadn’t appeared in time, she might have been killed.
Thinking about it from that perspective, Ye Qianhe could also be regarded as her lifesaver.
“Forget it, you have also saved me once. We are now no longer indebted to each other. I shall let you live; you may go.” Ling Chuxi was a person who would remember her debts and show gratitude. Seeing Ye Qianhe’s misfortune and signs of repentance, she didn’t want to make it hard for him any longer.
“You won’t kill me?” Ye Qianhe was stunned, looking at Ling Chuxi in disbelief.
“I’ll let you go this time, but if I find out that you’re doing evil deeds again, I will definitely take your life the next time I see you.” Ling Chuxi had never thought of killing him, but Ye Qianhe didn’t have to know that.
