Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness - Chapter 181: The Center of Attention

“Sect Master, you… you just said that Ye Xuan has an immortal spiritual root? This… can’t be… If he were an immortal spiritual root, how did you not notice it at the beginning?”

At this moment, Elder Qingyan was incredulously asking Qin Zhenren:

“We also couldn’t possibly fail to recognize an immortal spiritual root, right?”

“Yes.”

Hearing this, the other Taihua elders also showed faces of disbelief, turning their gazes towards Ye Xuan.

Among the world’s cultivation sects, many do not have the orthodox cultivation teachings, so the elders of those sects are often short-sighted.

Taihuan immortal Sect is an orthodox Daoist sect, skilled in assessing a person’s root and spirit and good at finding veins.

While they cannot discern everything in the world, surely the elders of Taihuan immortal Sect should be able to recognize an immortal spiritual root.

“Uh…”

Seeing the Taihua elders like this, Hu Qianzao and Hu Lan exchanged glances.

Could it be that even the people of Taihuan immortal Sect don’t know how powerful Ye Xuan really is?!  Is there still any doubt about Ye Xuan having an immortal spiritual root?!

Ye Xuan has been reborn over and over again, not to mention having an immortal spiritual root, having some things from ancient times is also quite normal.

Ye Xuan is so outstanding, yet the reaction of the people of Taihua immortal Sect to hearing he has an immortal spiritual root is like this?

“Everyone, do not be blinded by what you see before you.” Seeing the astonished look of the elders, Qin Zhenren finally spoke.

“There are talented individuals in this world who are excellent at concealing themselves, and some spiritual roots are extremely good at hiding and not easily discovered; this is not something unheard of…”

“Uh…”

Hearing Qin Zhenren’s words, the elders and the disciples of Taihua were all rendered speechless.

I mean, they understand this reasoning, but this is just too good at hiding, isn’t it? It’s one thing for ordinary spiritual roots to hide, but an immortal spiritual root?!

Isn’t that like having a gold mountain right in front of you, yet letting people not see it? But, regardless, since Qin Zhenren has now so confidently stated it, it should be correct, right?

Is Ye Xuan really an immortal spiritual root? And moreover, one that is hidden so well that it’s completely unnoticeable?

Ah, this–!!!

For a moment, the elders of Taihua looked at Ye Xuan with blazing eyes. Looking at them, it was as if they wanted to devour Ye Xuan.

“Who would have thought, Ye Xuan is actually a reincarnated immortal–!”

“Ah, what a pity, if I had taken him as my disciple back then, I would have had an immortal disciple in the future.”

“Isn’t that right, I’m so regretful.” However… speaking of which… we didn’t have the chance to take a disciple like Ye Xuan, but…”  The elder of Qingguang Peak glanced at Qingyan with a mocking tone.

“But, a certain elder had already taken Ye Xuan as his disciple, yet he still gave him away to someone else.”

“Cough…”  Qingyan couldn’t help but cough awkwardly, filled with regret.

Originally, Ye Xuan was clearly his disciple, but he underestimated Ye Xuan, and when Qingxue asked for Ye Xuan, he did not hesitate to give him away.

Thinking back now, he really regrets it to the point of tears–!!!  With his limited talent, even if he practiced for ten million years, there’s no possibility of increasing his cultivation.

Although Taihua Sect is an orthodox cultivation sect, there is no lack of competition within the sect. Like him, someone who became an elder based solely on seniority actually has no real power within the sect.

The only thing he needed to do was to teach his disciples well. Similarly, if he could teach a good disciple, his status in the sect would naturally rise.

If he could teach a disciple who becomes an immortal, his status would naturally be different. Then, even Qin Zhenren would give him some respect and not just assign someone to him as she pleased.

But unexpectedly, he missed a disciple with an immortal spiritual root–!!!

Seeing everyone around him looking at him with mocking eyes, he was very distressed. However, he soon noticed Yu Ling’er next to Ye Xuan.

Then, he said with a smile, “My Ling’er may not have an immortal spiritual root, but she has a heavenly spiritual root, her future achievements may not be inferior to those of an immortal spiritual root…”

“After all, an immortal spiritual root is just relying on the blessings of a past life… Moreover, everyone has seen the relationship between my Ling’er and Ye Xuan.”

“Even if he is no longer my disciple, he will eventually be my son-in-law, why are you all being sarcastic here?”

“Uh…”

Hearing Elder Qingyan’s words, the Taihua elders couldn’t help but be speechless.

That’s really shameless–!!!

Previously, he handed Ye Xuan over to Qingxue, clearly looking down on Ye Xuan, and now, before Ye Xuan has even made any actual commitment, he’s already calling him his son-in-law.

But, when you think about it, that’s also true. Throughout the entire history of Taihua, how many have had a Heavenly Spiritual Root?

Although he missed out on a disciple with an immortal spiritual root, he still has a daughter with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, and her relationship with Ye Xuan is clear for all to see.

It’s destined they will be a couple. In this way, it really seems like they are not in a position to mock him. Thinking of this, they all couldn’t help feeling a bit envious.

Why don’t they have such a good daughter to hook up with a son-in-law with an immortal spiritual root?

Elder Qingyan, usually not good at social interactions, unexpectedly has such good fortune, having given up a disciple who ultimately became his son-in-law.

Seeing the elders around her making sarcastic comments, Daoqin couldn’t help but shake her head slightly.

Cultivators are ultimately human… Who can truly abandon these worldly desires? She herself can’t abandon worldly thoughts, let alone them.

Then, her gaze turned to Hu Qianzao, and she said to her, “Palace Master, you are a guest from afar, there’s no need to be a stranger here in Taihua Sect. Since Ye Xuan is your beloved, let him be your guide while you are here in Taihua…”

Qin Zhenren was about to say something else when suddenly, her expression changed slightly. It seemed like she received some message.

She then asked, “Just now, I received a message that Jade Fox Palace seems to have been invaded by demons. Is Jade Fox Palace alright?”

It turns out, it was a distress signal from Jade Fox Palace that had finally been transmitted to Taihua immortal Sect through the righteous immortal alliance.

But now, the Palace Master of Jade Fox Palace was here with Ye Xuan, and it seemed there was no urgent situation anymore.

“Thank you for your concern,” said Hu Qianzao, looking towards Ye Xuan as she spoke, “Although there were some casualties, with Ye Xuan, Elder Qingxue, and Sister Yu Ling’er assisting, Jade Fox Palace is not in serious trouble…”

“Actually, it’s mostly Ye Xuan’s merit.” At this moment, Qingxue spoke up, “If it weren’t for him, let alone the people of Jade Fox Palace, I fear this time, we would have all been overwhelmed there.”

During her speech, her face showed a hint of pride for Ye Xuan.

“What?”

“No way–!!!”

Hearing this, the people of Taihua immortal Sect all turned their gaze towards Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan, no matter how capable, was just a minor disciple in the Spiritual Insight realm.

What capabilities does he have to earn such great merit? Even someone as powerful as Elder Qingxue almost failed there, and had to rely on Ye Xuan for help?

“What exactly happened?!” Hearing this, Qin Zhenren slightly furrowed her brow.

If even Qingxue nearly failed at Jade Fox Palace, the situation must have been far from simple. Moreover, what made her curious was that Ye Xuan could receive such high praise from Qingxue.

In that turmoil, how could a mere minor disciple in the Spiritual Insight realm achieve such merit? For a moment, everyone’s astonished gaze turned towards Ye Xuan.

At this moment, this disciple in the Spiritual Insight realm seemed to grow taller in their eyes. But, there were also those who looked at Ye Xuan with envy.

Even someone as aloof as Elder Qingxue had given Ye Xuan such high praise. This time, a newly promoted disciple had really stolen the spotlight?!
