Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness Chapter 39 - Such a Devoted Daughter

Chapter 39 – Such a Devoted Daughter

“……” Ye Xuan didn’t feel inclined to indulge his master’s misunderstanding. ‘If he doesn’t want to listen, then I don’t want to talk. Let him misunderstand. He underestimates now, but he’ll regret it later.’

He said decisively, “Yes, master, I acknowledge my mistake. I’ll take my leave now and won’t disturb your ditation any further.” Without waiting for Yu Ling’er to add anything, Ye Xuan bowed to his master and left.

“Brother Ye Xuan, wait—!!!” Yu Ling’er hurried after him.

Seeing her reaction, Elder Qingyan slightly frowned. ‘Could it be that my daughter has taken a liking to this new disciple? But Ye Xuan, with no spiritual roots and questionable character, is not acceptable!’ He thought about speaking to her mother about this.

Yu Ling’er caught up with Ye Xuan outside the hall and imdiately apologized: “I’m sorry, Brother Ye Xuan. I had no idea my father would be so blind. He couldn’t see that you’ve reached the Qi Gathering stage and even thought you tricked into lying for you… I didn’t an for this to happen—!!”

“Hmph—” Ye Xuan almost laughed out loud. ‘This dutiful daughter dares to say her father is blind?’ He thought, but managed to keep a straight face and replied, “I never had any spiritual roots, so it’s normal for the master to disbelieve that I’ve achieved Qi Gathering so quickly. I wouldn’t bla him.”

‘Your expression doesn’t seem like you don’t bla him,’ Yu Ling’er silently critiqued. Then she added, “Brother Ye Xuan, actually, I think my father’s disbelief isn’t a bad thing.”

“?” Ye Xuan didn’t understand and asked, “Why?”

Yu Ling’er explained with a mischievous smile, “Think about it. Even if my father knew about your remarkable spiritual roots, it wouldn’t benefit you much. He doesn’t have extra resources to give you, and he’s not personally guiding your cultivation.”

“Better to let him underestimate you for now, and in the anti, you can strive to improve your cultivation. When he eventually realizes your true abilities, he’ll surely regret his current attitude. Won’t it be exciting to see his reaction then?”

This was Yu Ling’er’s calculated approach – firmly supporting Ye Xuan, not sparing a good word for her father. Since her father chose to misunderstand Ye Xuan’s abilities, let him be. When Ye Xuan’s cultivation level dramatically improves, he’ll certainly regret his stance.

‘Supporting you when everyone else underestimates you, that’s how I show my belief in you. This way, you’ll surely see differently,’ Yu Ling’er thought to herself, proud of her ingenious plan.

Ye Xuan was internally baffled by her words. ‘She’s really pushing it, betraying her father to stand with ,’ he mused.

The Yu Ling’er he knew was once very filial, but now, to stand with him, she was suggesting he conceal his talent and silently work hard, aiming to eventually prove her father wrong.

Reflecting on her change, he noted how Yu Ling’er had evolved from her previous straightforward nature, now showing more maturity and independent thinking.

Thinking to himself, Ye Xuan feigned embarrassnt and said to Yu Ling’er, “I’m not sure if that’s a good idea… Master seems to have forbidden you from guiding my cultivation.”

“It’s okay,” Yu Ling’er assured him. “When the senior brother cos, I’ll just send him away. Dad ditates all day, often for a month or two at a ti. He won’t bother with these things.”

“Alright, but let be clear, this doesn’t an I’ve forgiven you,” Ye Xuan reminded her. “You still haven’t given a satisfactory explanation for trying to kill . That issue isn’t resolved.”

Inwardly, he knew she had already saved him once, although she was unaware of it. Of course, he couldn’t ntion to Yu Ling’er how she inadvertently prevented the second female lead from attacking him, so he just kept it in mind.

“I…” Hearing Ye Xuan bring up her past attempt on his life, Yu Ling’er felt guilty. After so thought, she decided it was ti to stop hiding the truth from Ye Xuan. She felt it was the right mont to explain everything to him, to remove the thorn that had been lodged in their relationship.

“Brother Ye Xuan… I want to explain. Will you listen?” she asked.

“I’m not a romantic novel’s heroine. If you want to explain, I’m willing to listen, but whether I believe it or not is up to ,” Ye Xuan said. “If your explanation isn’t satisfactory, then it’s better you don’t treat too kindly now. Otherwise, you might regret it if I seek revenge in the future.”

“I understand,” Yu Ling’er said with a smile. “Brother Ye Xuan… even if I die by your hand, I won’t regret or hate you because I owe you… But, I don’t want to die… because I can never repay my debt to you. If you still want revenge after hearing my explanation, I’ll be ready to face your wrath.”

Ye Xuan internally sighed. ‘It seems we’re finally getting past this misunderstanding,’ he thought. ‘But I didn’t expect Yu Ling’er to be so deeply attached to . If she knew the person in her mories was just an act, that I was an emotionless actor, would she still feel the sa?’
