Was it you that night?

Chapter 115: Chapter 113: The Heart Feels Torn Apart

"Aren’t we getting married? I’ll accompany you to the ceremony! But make no mistake, I am not Xu Jun, and I better not end up marrying you under his name," said Dongfang Wuya, stepping into the wedding hall first.

Little Black instantly understood his master’s intention, hence did not employ the Blinding Spell.

The moment Dongfang Wuya entered the wedding hall, all the guests were astonished, wondering where this stunningly beautiful groom in his wedding attire had sprung from.

Everyone had seen the groom before; he was Shen Qinghe’s senior, Xu Jun. Although good-looking, he couldn’t hold a candle to the beauty of the gentleman who just walked in.

Could the bride have decided to change grooms at such a critical moment?

As if completely oblivious to the strange looks from everyone, Dongfang Wuya, seeing no one following him, looked back impatiently and urged, "Aren’t we supposed to tie the knot? Are you planning to drag this out until dawn?"

Shen Qinghe felt that she might have misunderstood something: "What do you mean?"

Dongfang Wuya walked back to Shen Qinghe, took hold of her slender, snow-white wrist, and led her into the wedding hall, commanding the master of ceremonies who was petrified: "Continue the ceremony!"

If the Heart Demon that had ensnared Shen Qinghe was because of Yan Changsheng breaking off the marriage and causing Shen Zhuo to fall into a deep slumber, he might as well help her untangle this knot in her heart.

She wants to get married, so let her marry. As long as it doesn’t threaten his virginity, everything else could potentially be discussed.

The master of ceremonies finally regained his senses, instinctively glancing at Shen Qinghe.

Shen Qinghe herself was very confused by the current situation. Clearly, her groom was supposed to be Xu Jun, so how did Dongfang Wuya suddenly take his place?

Hidden among the crowd were Yan Changsheng and Xiao Chen, who upon witnessing this absurd scene, saw Xiao Chen unable to hold back as he stepped forward and declared, "Qinghe, I will marry you!"

Yan Changsheng furrowed his brows slightly, but he suddenly realized he didn’t even have the right to speak.

He had indeed seen the Demon use Qinghe’s Heart Demon to create this Illusory Realm.

Back then when he took Nan Sheng to the Sky Pole Sect, he had injured the Master, causing him to fall into an unrousable slumber. It was also because of him and Nan Sheng that Qinghe became a laughingstock for the entire Sky Pole Sect.

Although Qinghe seemed to be normal on the surface, this incident had left a thorn in her heart.

The Demon had taken advantage of this thorn in Qinghe’s heart to weave this Illusory Realm.

If Qinghe’s Heart Demon is not removed, they may never be able to leave.

Perhaps the only way out is for Qinghe to get married, to restore the lost face of Divine Sword Villa.

Qinghe loathes him so much; she definitely wouldn’t want to marry him. The hope now lay with Xiao Chen or Dongfang Wuya to break this spell.

The irony is that after having hurt her so badly in the past, he has now fallen in love with her.

Once they get out of the Illusory Realm, she will meet a man she likes, but that man cannot be him. Maybe one day in the future, just like today, he will have to watch powerlessly as she falls in love with another man, marries him as her Daoist companion, bears his children, while he can only be a bystander, watching her cry and laugh in another man’s arms...

Thinking of this possibility, Yan Changsheng felt a sudden piercing pain in his heart. The pain quickly spread throughout his body, making it hard for him to breathe.

At this instant, everyone in the wedding hall felt the building shake, but when they looked again, everything was calm as if the shaking had been nothing but their imagination.

As the master of the Illusory Realm, Qu Nian was the first to detect the instability of the realm, an unprecedented occurrence.

This instability had arisen because Yan Changsheng had developed a Heart Demon in that moment.

The moment Yan Changsheng’s Heart Demon was born, the Illusory Realm fluctuated, and he knew the root cause was the striking similarities between Yan Changsheng’s experiences and his own.

He had thought that Dongfang Wuya was the one he needed to guard against the most, but now it seemed that Yan Changsheng was the unpredictable factor. He feared his plan was doomed to fail.

If the Illusory Realm shattered, Sanniang would have no chance of resurrection, and he couldn’t allow that to happen...

Within the wedding hall, Dongfang Wuya sensed the instability of the Illusory Realm.

But it was only a momentary turmoil, which soon returned to calm.

He thought it was Shen Qinghe’s merit and only wanted to marry Shen Qinghe quickly, to break the Illusory Realm, so he stepped forward and said to Xiao Chen, "You like Nan Sheng, so why stir up trouble? Go away!"

"Qinghe, that was a misunderstanding. I have always liked you. Since you want a man who marries you, I am more suitable for you than Mr. Wuya." Xiao Chen refused to back down.

Dongfang Wuya scoffed on the side, "Shen Qinghe, surely you’re not foolish enough to believe his words? He’s been living with Nan Sheng; how could he possibly not like Nan Sheng?"

Xiao Chen’s expression changed slightly, for what Dongfang Wuya said was clearly the reality.

"Do you dare swear on your conscience that you haven’t lived with Nan Sheng?" Dongfang Wuya added another stab at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen was speechless for a moment, unable to respond.

Dongfang Wuya was quite pleased with Xiao Chen’s reaction, he pushed Shen Qinghe to kneel down: "That’s enough, hurry up and pay homage to the wedding ceremony. I, for one, will kneel for you today. You should be grateful."

Shen Qinghe knelt down passively, feeling that the progression of this event was somewhat bizarre.

Clearly, Xiao Chen liked Nan Sheng, and Nan Sheng liked Yan Changsheng, but Dongfang Wuya claimed Xiao Chen and Nan Sheng had lived together. Xiao Chen had not denied it, which meant it was true.

How was this different from what she knew?

She was still puzzling over the love triangle between Xiao Chen, Nan Sheng, and Yan Changsheng, while the wedding officiant in front simply wanted to hurry the strange wedding to a conclusion, he exclaimed, "Bow to the heavens and the earth!"

Shen Qinghe turned her gaze to Dongfang Wuya, meeting his amorous peach blossom eyes.

"Isn’t what you want a husband to restore the reputation of Divine Sword Villa? Xu Jun could be your husband, and I can as well. Or do you wish for today’s wedding to become a farce, further disgracing Shen Zhuo?"

Upon hearing her father’s name, Shen Qinghe was shocked. She felt Dongfang Wuya’s words made sense; the reputation of Shen Zhuo and Divine Sword Villa shouldn’t be ruined because of her.

In fact, she could accept any man to complete the wedding ceremony with her, as long as it wasn’t Yan Changsheng or Xiao Chen.

She looked at the man beside her in the wedding robe, meeting his warm peach blossom eyes.

Seeing her still dazed, Dongfang Wuya simply pulled her to perform the bows to the heavens and the earth.

Afterward, the husband and wife bowed to each other, completing the ceremony, and the newlyweds were about to be ushered into the bridal chamber.

Yan Changsheng, who was observing all this, felt a heart-wrenching pain. He knew this was the Illusory Realm, but it still felt as though his heart was being torn apart.

"Qinghe..."

Yan Changsheng’s voice was very soft, but Shen Qinghe heard it; she turned around and met Yan Changsheng’s bloodshot eyes.

She stared blankly at Yan Changsheng, her expression absent and dazed for a long time.

"Just a scumbag, can he compare to me?" Seeing that Shen Qinghe and Yan Changsheng were gazing at each other through the air, unwilling to break eye contact, Dongfang Wuya curled his lips in sarcasm.

Lost in thought, Shen Qinghe turned her head, and was led by Dongfang Wuya towards the bridal chamber.

At that moment, Dongfang Wuya suddenly threw a red veil over her head, blocking the light from her view.

The next moment, Dongfang Wuya lifted the red veil with the Wedding Balance, and she looked up to meet his focused peach blossom eyes.
