Was it you that night?

Chapter 112: Chapter 110: Qinghe Gets Married

It wasn’t until nightfall that Dongfang Wuya had no choice but to leave.

Over the next few days, Dongfang Wuya clung to Shen Qinghe every day, seizing every opportunity to persuade her to join him in cultivation.

Cai Xin thought Dongfang Wuya was like a charlatan, especially one who wanted to trick their family’s young lady into renouncing worldly life.

In her eyes, cultivating was just like becoming a nun!

Shen Qinghe, however, didn’t think of Dongfang Wuya as a charlatan; from the first glance, she felt he must be an immortal from beyond the Ninth Heaven.

No matter what Dongfang Wuya did, even if he deceived her, she never believed he had malicious intentions.

On the day Shen Qinghe’s martial arts matchmaking contest arrived, she personally took charge.

To her surprise, Dongfang Wuya insisted on accompanying her and even said he would help her screen the candidates.

Shen Qinghe didn’t stop Dongfang Wuya.

He was her esteemed guest, and since it was quite boring to stay at the Divine Sword Villa, she thought it would be good for him to get some fresh air.

Yan Changsheng and Xiao Chen both intended to enter the matchmaking contest under false names, but as soon as they appeared, they were recognized by Dongfang Wuya.

"Neither of these men is any good; you should disqualify them from the matchmaking contest!" Dongfang Wuya said lazily sitting beside Shen Qinghe, his tone commanding.

Cai Xin was angered upon hearing this, yet her young lady was obedient to Mr. Wuya’s commands and, quite shockingly, did indeed disqualify Xiao Chen and Yan Changsheng from the competition.

Afterward, the official competition began.

The young men who were eligible to participate were all highly skilled in martial arts and also good-looking—a total of forty men.

Shen Qinghe immediately noticed Xu Jun among the suitors as soon as she looked over.

Xu Jun was always kind to her, honest and sincere. She thought Senior Brother Xu saw her only as a junior sister; she never expected he would join the matchmaking contest.

"Why do you keep staring at Xu Jun? Is he better looking than I am?" Dongfang Wuya was unhappy that Shen Qinghe was always looking at a certain man.

If it were just about looks, he was confident he had never lost!

Shen Qinghe shifted her gaze toward Dongfang Wuya, "How would Mr. Wuya know about Senior Brother Xu?"

Dongfang Wuya sneered with a smirk, "This lord knows your fate, so naturally, I also know which flies are buzzing around you."

In fact, Xiao Bai had decided Shen Qinghe belonged to him and had voluntarily reported her affairs to him; he would find it hard not to know.

"Senior Brother Xu is not like others," Shen Qinghe couldn’t help but retort.

Senior Brother Xu was genuine, not hot-headed or impatient; she thought that if she really had to marry a stranger, it would be better to marry Senior Brother Xu.

At the very least, she knew Senior Brother Xu through and through, and she trusted his character.

Suddenly sitting up straight and looking grim, Dongfang Wuya who had been sitting without proper decorum asked, "Do you hope Xu Jun wins?!"

Shen Qinghe uttered a profound truth, "If Senior Brother Xu wins, I would be pleased with the outcome."

Dongfang Wuya lowered his eyelids, concealing the ferocity in his eyes, his tone chilling, "From what you say, you fancy Xu Jun?"

Wasn’t she supposed to like him, so how could she fall for someone else upon entering the Illusory Realm? Or was it that she fancied Xu Jun even while in the Sky Pole Sect?

It frustrated him that he had been somewhat anxious these past few days after sharing a bed with her, unsure of how to face her.

"I once fancied Changsheng, but Changsheng trampled my face and the Divine Sword Villa underfoot. Now, I wish to find a partner for marriage who can help elevate the Divine Sword Villa. Knowing someone’s background is most important. Senior Brother Xu is a good man; if I marry him, it should be a fine match." No sooner had Shen Qinghe finished speaking than Dongfang Wuya abruptly swept away in a swish of his sleeve.

She was puzzled, looking back at Dongfang Wuya’s retreating figure, not understanding what she had said wrong to upset him.

"Such a temper, how can someone like this be a cultivator?" Cai Xin muttered softly on the side.

Shen Qinghe couldn’t help but shake her head with a smile, not paying any more attention to Dongfang Wuya.

In her view, Dongfang Wuya was just a passerby; he would one day leave the Divine Sword Villa, so she wouldn’t get overly involved with him.

The competition onstage was in full swing, and Shen Qinghe’s focus was entirely on the stage, leaving her no spare focus to pay attention to anyone else.

After leaving the scene, Dongfang Wuya felt his anger was inexplicable.

He knew that inside the Illusory Realm, Shen Qinghe had forgotten who she was, so naturally, he couldn’t have too high of expectations for her. Even if she truly married another man in the Illusory Realm, it would be nothing out of the ordinary.

With this in mind, what was there to care about?

A total of four people had entered the Illusory Realm, but only Shen Qinghe had forgotten her identity, making her very likely the target of the Demon.

If all went as expected, the Demon knew Shen Qinghe’s emotional knots and used them to restrain her.

Only by Shen Qinghe resolving her own Heart Demon could they have a chance to leave the Illusory Realm.

Having convinced himself of this, he quietly waited for the outcome of the competition; he even harbored the greatest malice in hoping that the winner would be the ugliest one.

By evening, the result of the competition had spread throughout Snow Bone City; Xu Jun was the final winner.

Xiao Chen and Yan Changsheng were also waiting for the result of the competition. When they heard it was Xu Jun, neither of them looked very happy.

They both knew Xu Jun, a disciple under their Master as well, who looked like a delicate scholar but possessed a decent cultivation base, upright in character with a pristine love life; it seemed impossible to find a single fault with him.

Yet, they couldn’t bring themselves to be happy for Shen Qinghe, even if this was just an Illusory Realm; deep down, they didn’t want to see Shen Qinghe get married.

In this Illusory Realm, however, Shen Qinghe did not remember her true identity. With the competition results out, the next item on the agenda would be Shen Qinghe’s wedding.

"You’re just going to watch Qinghe get married with your eyes open?" Xiao Chen asked with a heavy tone.

Yan Changsheng glanced at Xiao Chen indifferently, "This is the Illusory Realm; I can’t stop it. You, Senior Brother, have no feud with Qinghe. Perhaps you can sneak into the Divine Sword Villa and seize an opportunity."

Now the Divine Sword Villa guarded against him like a wolf; he couldn’t even enter the villa, let alone stop Qinghe’s wedding.

Xiao Chen felt this was reasonable. Instead of wasting time at the City Lord’s Mansion, it was better to keep an eye on Shen Qinghe from nearby.

In the Divine Sword Villa, Shen Qinghe was about to have supper when Dongfang Wuya, uninvited, sat down opposite her, watching her with cold eyes.

"What’s wrong?" Shen Qinghe didn’t know what she had done to provoke Dongfang Wuya.

"You can get married now, are you happy?" Dongfang Wuya looked at Shen Qinghe today and felt that her eyes were not eyes, her nose was not a nose; she seemed ugly in every aspect.

Shen Qinghe didn’t understand what he was angry about but, seeing as he was a guest, she still politely replied, "Senior Brother Xu won, so I’m quite happy."

It was better than marrying a stranger; that she could get such a husband through a martial arts competition, she felt her luck wasn’t too bad.

Dongfang Wuya leaned closer to Shen Qinghe, with a cold laugh curling his lips, "Your standards are so low, you’re so eager to marry? Are you saying you would have married anyone else who won today, even if they were anyone else?"

"I don’t know why Mr. Wuya is angry, but it’s true that I’m getting married. And indeed, it’s my good fortune to marry Senior Brother Xu..."

——

Wuya: My wife is going to get remarried to some other guy, what the hell?

Qinghe: Next comes the wedding night.

Wuya flipped the table: Wedding night? There’s not even a window!
