Chapter 16: He Truly Wished He Could Die Like That. But... |
“Hmm…”
Ye Xuan initially thought he would need to show Yu Ling’er multiple scenes before his script swayed her.
But unexpectedly, she had already started to change her mind after just the first one.
Does she have no trust in Senior Brother Qin?
Well… She’s truly a child with such a naive attitude.
But honestly, even if Ye Xuan were in her place, he would be swayed by such a script, right? The person he always trusted the most, believed in the most, turned out to be a shameless scumbag. Meanwhile, the one he always looked down upon was desperately trying to protect him.
However, this script only changed her stance between him and the original protagonist, Yu Shou.
It’s far from enough.
Moreover, even if he crafted the script perfectly, considering the real world, countless loopholes would still exist.
Come on, this was the Great Immortal Sect, the most prominent sect on the righteous path.
Having one major villain like him was enough; why would there be another villain?
According to the novel, Yu Shou was upright. In other words, he was a person of unrivalled integrity.
Ye Xuan painted Yu Shou darker to protect himself, making the plot holes bigger later.
However, in front of a gold medal screenwriter like himself, what dog-blooded whitewashing route couldn’t he handle?
Not to mention whitewashing and blackening, he could even make even the heroine fall in love with him.
At least for now, Yu Linger had started doubting Yu Shou’s character.
As for how much feelings she still holds for Yu Shou, it depends on how strong her moral values are.
If Yu Ling’er’s values were more sincere, she’d feel less affection for Yu Shou while believing in the plot he scripted.
The plot Ye Xuan created wasn’t just to make Yu Linger stop liking Yu Shou; more importantly, it made Yu Linger feel indebted to him.
If he could make her fall in love with him because of this, that would be even better.
This way, the following plot could be arranged more smoothly.
Although he had the power of the system, after seeing all the plots, Yu Linger only had a moment before he could be saved.
However, he only had one chance.
If, after watching the plot, Yu Ling’er still refused to forgive letting him go or hesitated to kill him, and if the system’s rewards weren’t strong enough…
Then he would really have to give up defeat amid cheers.
The upcoming plot was crucial because it was time for the villain’s descent into evil.
Yu Ling’er was extremely kind and righteous. She would never forgive a villain who committed evil deeds. No matter what reasons he had, if he killed innocents, she would still kill him without hesitation.
Although these events have not yet happened in this world, to the heroine, they were events that had already occurred, enough to kill him.
But thanks to Yu Linger being overly righteous, if she mindlessly believed that Yu Shou was a good person just because she liked him, and he was undoubtedly a bad person just because she initially didn’t like him, that would be a huge problem.
He wouldn’t even pass the first hurdle of gaining her sense of indebtedness.
“Alright, let the villain-turned-evil plot unfold!”
While Ye Xuan started a new script, Yu Linger took a deep breath, calming her emotions.
She said to herself, “Even though I know… Junior Brother Yu Xuan, you truly liked me, but everything you did later was sinful. Although I owe you, I will never let you go.”
From Yu Linger’s current perspective, all the scenes in front of her made sense.
The North Star Goddess didn’t deceive her; she was a high-ranking star goddess who could instantly stop time flowing outside. Even the most powerful immortals couldn’t do such a thing.
Moreover, she had the opportunity to be reborn, a power she couldn’t comprehend.
So, the scenes in front of her might actually be true.
Perhaps she truly owed something to Ye Xuan.
But even so, she would still kill Ye Xuan. Because what Ye Xuan did later was unforgivable. She remembered the day she first saw Ye Xuan practicing demonic arts.
…
(On the screen)
Time passed day by day…
During this time, Ye Xuan’s cultivation made no progress at all.
However, for the current Ye Xuan, his life had already lost its meaning.
The woman he loved the most fell for someone else.
Moreover, she misunderstood him.
Clearly, he had risked his life to save Senior Sister Yu Linger, but she didn’t believe him at all.
Although she didn’t blame him, the words she spoke felt like icy needles and poison, stabbing into his heart every day.
Pulling out, it was blood accompanied by pain.
However, he couldn’t do anything about it.
Every day, watching Senior Sister Yu Linger exchange letters with that man who deceived her, he truly wished he could die like that.
Unfortunately, he didn’t want to die.
Because… if he died, he wouldn’t be able to see her anymore.
