All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human

Chapter 319: Correcting the Girl’s Unfortunate Life (43)

"Can we find a place to sit?"

Qiann Yan couldn’t quite guess the intention of the visitor, but felt no malice from him, and invited him into the café beside the school.

There weren’t many people in the café at this time, and she chose a relatively secluded spot.

Qiann Yan kept her gaze on the young man’s face opposite her.

Wuh Huai was very cautious. Although this young man wasn’t as good-looking as him—no, his appearance was rather ordinary—his aura was undeniably formidable.

Unlike those whom they encountered before, if this person had any designs on Qiann Yan, it would pose a threat to him.

While Wuh Huai was mulling over whether Qiann Yan might take a fancy to this person, the young man spoke.

"I am here for Fei Xuan."

Upon hearing this name, Qiann Yan was slightly startled, then asked, "Xia Feixuan?"

"That’s right," the young man replied with a heavy gaze, his whole demeanor tinged with a sorrow unbefitting his age. "I once calculated Fei Xuan’s reincarnation. A while ago, I awoke from meditation, and Fei Xuan’s soul token had already shattered. During meditation, I saw Fei Xuan and learned she had scattered her soul on her own."

"Who are you?"

"I am Bai Hong, Fei Xuan’s mentor."

Actually, Qiann Yan had guessed it already; she had looked through Shang Ruqi’s memories and remembered all the key figures from them.

When this person appeared, she did not think he would be Shang Tong.

She hadn’t expected Master Bai Hong to sense something and come looking personally.

"I want to know what happened here," said Master Bai Hong. "It’s urgent, so I chose this method to come over. I can’t stay here long, or else the soul of this body will suffer from prolonged slumber."

"Alright, I’ll tell you."

Wuh Huai thought he better not eavesdrop on these words, clearly a fairy’s secrets, and gestured to Qiann Yan to move.

Since that person wasn’t pursuing Qiann Yan, he didn’t care anymore.

Whether the fairy liked him or not didn’t matter to him, as long as she didn’t like someone else.

Qiann Yan briefly recounted the events, then looked again at Master Bai Hong, whose eyes were already red, tears held back by sheer will.

"Xia Feixuan hoped you’d achieve Ascension soon," Qiann Yan reminded him. "Don’t disappoint her expectations."

Master Bai Hong listened to these words that sounded comforting but didn’t feel like comfort, and sighed deeply: "That child has been loyal and sincere since she was young. That’s why she always suffered. It’s my fault for teaching her to be too kind, which led to her being harmed by villains."

"Is kindness also a mistake?" Qiann Yan asked.

This question left Master Bai Hong momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond.

Could he say being kind was wrong? Naturally, he couldn’t; kindness wasn’t wrong.

What he valued in Fei Xuan was precisely her pure heart, unlike those who abandon ties for the pursuit of immortality.

"The wrong lies with those who harmed her, not her kindness."

"With the Shang family’s characters, good or evil, being targeted by them means risking schemes."

Master Bai Hong chuckled through tears: "Yes, fellow Daoist, you’re right. Fei Xuan’s pure heart is faultless; the wrong lies with those always harboring malicious thoughts."

Upon learning about Shang Ruqi’s current situation, Master Bai Hong laughed heartily.

Qiann Yan led him to Shang Ruqi’s grave; since he was there, Master Bai Hong certainly wouldn’t miss the chance to see Shang Ruqi.

Qiann Yan: "I brought someone to see you."

Shang Ruqi was wary: "Xia Qianyan, what trick are you up to now?"
