Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness

Her eyes held a hint of worry.

To be honest, letting the disciples enter a mystical realm like the Cosmic Heaven Realm to increase their cultivation right after they had just started was quite risky.

After all, before ascending the mountain, most of these disciples were mere mortals, with their three poisons not yet eliminated and their six roots unclean. A cultivator does not need to be free from desires, but they should not be too foolish either.

Letting these originally mortal individuals suddenly control such powerful forces, their sense of belonging to the Taihua Immortal Sect might not be strong, and they might not accept the monotony of cultivation, yearning instead for the bustling life below the mountain.

Although it is true that a hundred years of cultivation in the Cosmic Heaven Realm is not false, the realm itself contains nothing but allows for dedicated cultivation.

It is different from the outside world. After a hundred years of cultivation in the Cosmic Heaven Realm, these disciples had gained strengths they could never have imagined as mortals.

Among them, how many could still maintain their Dao heart? If not for the exceptional circumstances, no cultivation sect would willingly send newly accepted disciples with unsteady Dao hearts to a place like the Cosmic Heaven Realm to cultivate.

But now, with a great calamity approaching, this was a reluctant measure.

“Disciples, congratulations. After your trials in the Cosmic Heaven Realm, you have returned as cultivators at the Spiritual Insight realm.”

“It is easy to acquire techniques, but good talents are hard to find. Those of you who have succeeded in your cultivation within the set time can truly be considered as talents worth developing,” she slowly said.

“But, I hope you understand that in the path of cultivation, only those with a steadfast Dao heart can reach the end. Do not lose the initial heart of seeking the Dao.”

“Disciples will strictly follow the teachings of the Sect Master,” the Taihua disciples bowed to Qin Zhenren in unison.

Qin Zhenren continued, “To inspire all disciples to advance diligently in their cultivation, the Taihua Immortal Sect will soon hold a new round of the Sword Conference. All Taihua disciples of the Jade generation are eligible to participate.”

“Those who can outperform their fellow disciples and rank at the top will receive generous rewards.”

“The one who emerges as the champion will become the Yu Generation Senior Brother of the Taihua Immortal Sect, a position second only to the Sect Master and the core elders, and will also be the next Sect Leader of the Taihua Immortal Sect.

“Please prepare well after you leave here, and do not leave any regrets.”

“What–!!!” Upon hearing this, the Taihua disciples could not help but show a look of surprise.

A Sword Conference?  Determining the Senior Brother?!  The next Sect Master?!!

Ah, they had just come out from the Cosmic Heaven Realm, and now they were about to face such thrilling matters?!

“Hehe… the position of Senior Brother should be mine–!” Amidst the surprise of the disciples, some showed a confident look, seemingly determined to win the position of Big Brother.

“Brother Yushou, in my opinion, the title of Taihua Senior Brother is definitely yours,” a Taihua disciple approached Yushou and complimented him.

“Hehe, junior brother, don’t joke. My cultivation is not outstanding among the Taihua disciples, and I dare not dream of the position of being a Senior Brother,” Yushou said with a smile.

Though he said this, a confident smile hung on the corner of his lips. In his view, there were few among the Taihua disciples of the Jade generation who could compete with him.

And he was confident in defeating them all. Once he becomes the Taihua Senior Brother, with the power that comes with the position, hehe, he naturally had ways to get his hands on whoever he wanted.

Thinking of this, his brows furrowed again.

Yuling’er, this little wretch–!!!  Now, he was doing everything to please her, but she was indifferent to him. Once the opportunity arose, he would definitely make her regret and make her beg in front of him.

At this moment, the Taihua Grand Hall suddenly became quiet.  Everyone turned their gazes toward the entrance of the grand hall.

At the entrance of the grand hall, a man and three women walked in.  The man was handsome, and the women were beautiful; such a combination was not uncommon in the Taihua Immortal Sect.

However, the level of the man’s handsomeness and the women’s beauty was indeed rare.

Among the newcomers, the man was Ye Xuan, who had previously caught everyone’s attention, and the women included the Taihua elder Qingxue and the notably watched junior sister, Yu Ling’er.

These three, based solely on appearance, were indeed outstanding. Their arrival together drew even more attention.

Yet, it wasn’t their appearance alone that quieted the Taihua disciples.  What truly silenced everyone was the woman following Ye Xuan.

Her figure was graceful and captivating, her face delicate and stunningly beautiful. More importantly, on her head were a pair of long, pointed fox ears, and behind her, nine fluffy tails.

“Is this… what kind of demon… so beautiful?!”

Watching Hu Qianzao, some of the disciples with weaker willpower couldn’t help but gulp.  In this world, there existed such a beautiful spirit.

“I… I’ve seen many fairies in my life, but no fairy has ever been as captivating as this spirit.”

…

As everyone’s gaze turned towards Hu Qianzao, Yu Ling’er couldn’t help but smile at her, saying, “I must say, Jade Fox Palace Master , your charm is truly great.”

“Just by walking over here, you’ve swept their souls away. If you were to smile at them, they might even give you their lives.”

Hearing this, Hu Qianzao felt a bit embarrassed and said to Ye Xuan, “Ye Xuan, I didn’t do it on purpose… it’s the restrictions of Taihua Mountain that prevent me from hiding my aura. It’s the allure from my bloodline.”

Although the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox had never cultivated charm techniques, in reality, the charm techniques cultivated by ordinary fox spirits are merely about making themselves similar to the aura of a Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox.

This kind of powerful charm, if it were elsewhere, Hu Qianzao would naturally keep it under control. But here in Taihua Sect, one of the righteous cultivation sects, she was affected by the Taihua restrictions.

It wasn’t just about keeping her charm under control; she couldn’t even appear as a normal person if she tried.

Even Hu Lan, who was following behind her, had a pair of fox ears on her head and a fluffy blue tail behind her.

“Hmm, I understand, you don’t need to feel embarrassed. This is also a power,” Ye Xuan said with a smile, “Didn’t you see? Even Senior Hu Lan had to show her true form, right?”

Hearing this, Hu Qianzao then noticed that Hu Lan had shown her true form without her realizing when.

Curiously, she asked, “Senior Hu Lan, when did you transform?”

“…”

Hearing this, Hu Lan was speechless and responded, “Palace Master, along the way, your eyes have always been on your lover; you didn’t even notice my transformation. It really breaks my heart.”

“Uh… hehe…” Hearing this, Hu Qianzao gave an embarrassed chuckle.

Then, she looked at Ye Xuan with eyes full of deep affection, a trace of shyness in her gaze.

This look had no effect on Ye Xuan.  However, many of the surrounding Taihua disciples were struck dumb.

Heaven, what a beautiful woman…

In this world, if anyone could receive such a shy glance from this beauty, truly, they would die without regrets.

But—!!! Why is she looking at Ye Xuan—!!!

This guy Ye Xuan, his relationship with Junior Sister Yu Ling’er is already so obvious, yet now he’s flirting with this fox.

And they are so blatantly feeding them dog food; is this intentional?!! By the way, who exactly is this beautiful fox—!!!
