Was it you that night?
Chapter 127 - 125: A man frustrated in love really has a bad temper!

Chapter 127: Chapter 125: A man frustrated in love really has a bad temper!

Xiao Bai, upon receiving the message, immediately reported to Dongfang Wuya.

Dongfang Wuya, upon learning that Shen Qinghe was leaving Sky Pole Sect to look for Shen Zhiyao, subconsciously got up, wanting to leave with Shen Qinghe.

But as he stepped out of Bixiao Tower, he felt his behavior was inappropriate.

Times were different; Shen Qinghe was now a cultivator at the Golden Core Stage and should resolve issues on her own. He couldn’t accompany her every time.

This was also an opportunity for Shen Qinghe’s trials, so why should he join the excitement? Shen Qinghe wasn’t his daughter.

Seeing Dongfang Wuya return, Xiao Bai was filled with doubts, "Master, aren’t you going with Fairy Qinghe?"

"Why should I accompany her? What is she to me?" Dongfang Wuya scoffed coldly.

Xiao Bai replied earnestly, "Master once said that Fairy Qinghe belongs to Master!"

Moreover, on the night when Fairy Qinghe was drunk, the master clearly slept at Simple Residence Courtyard. Although he didn’t enter, he was sure that the master was with Fairy Qinghe.

Dongfang Wuya calmly responded, "I merely said it offhand; Shen Qinghe has no relation to me whatsoever."

Shen Qinghe was just a little female cultivator he had saved; he merely spent quite a few spirit pills on her.

After returning to Bixiao Tower, Dongfang Wuya was restless, still worried about the young and inexperienced Shen Qinghe, afraid that she could be schemed against and wouldn’t even know it.

When Shen Qinghe came to him reeking of Yan Changsheng’s scent, she was utterly unable to explain it. Now that Yan Changsheng had left with Shen Qinghe, if he took the opportunity to plot against her again, Shen Qinghe might still be helping Yan Changsheng count his money.

With these thoughts, he became increasingly unsettled and agitated.

Yet he also recognized that his behavior was inappropriate. Shen Qinghe was just one of many female disciples of the Sky Pole Sect, and his concern for her was excessive.

Just like that drunken night, he could’ve pushed her away, yet he let himself ...

Sect Master Zuo was worried about Shen Zhiyao’s safety but heard an unusual noise coming from Bixiao Tower. He listened closely and confirmed that something was indeed happening in Bixiao Tower.

Immediately, he left his cave dwelling and headed towards Bixiao Tower.

Even he, the sect leader, couldn’t break through the barrier outside Bixiao Tower. However, seeing him arrive, Xiao Bai promptly led him inside.

"What’s wrong with him?" Sect Master Zuo asked with concern.

Xiao Bai answered truthfully, "Ever since learning that Fairy Qinghe left the sect to look for Fairy Zhiyao, the master’s mood has been somewhat unstable."

"What does that have to do with him?" Sect Master Zuo couldn’t understand.

It had been many years since this ancestor wielded his sword; in fact, there were too few powerful beings who could make Dongfang Wuya draw his sword. Besides, Dongfang Wuya kept a low profile, usually remaining in Bixiao Tower, with most people knowing only his name and not seeing him in person.

Even if someone wanted to challenge Dongfang Wuya, he wouldn’t accept the challenge. Over time, fewer people bothered trying.

So many powerful beings in the cultivation world wanted Dongfang Wuya to draw his sword, and he couldn’t care less, but today he drew his sword anyway, which showed that the ancestor was in a foul mood.

"The master is likely worried about Fairy Qinghe’s safety..."

Before Xiao Bai could finish speaking, a flash of sword light cut off a lock of his hair. Although he was a puppet, he was startled into a cold sweat.

He didn’t dare make another sound and just stood honestly to one side.

Sect Master Zuo, watching this scene, thought to himself, if it’s about worrying for Shen Qinghe, why not just follow and take care of her, instead of practicing swordplay to vent frustration here?

However, Wuya valued his face greatly, and of course, Sect Master Zuo didn’t dare to offend him, merely applauding from the side.

How fortunate it is to witness Dongfang Wuya practice his sword in person?

But this appearance of Wuya, could it be that he is troubled by love?

In all the years he had known Dongfang Wuya, when had he ever seen him distracted by any woman? Let alone a woman, it had never even been a man.

However, since Dongfang Wuya saved Shen Qinghe, he’d always been the one standing up for her; those unaware of their relationship might even mistake Shen Qinghe as Dongfang Wuya’s own daughter.

Whenever Shen Qinghe was in trouble, it was Dongfang Wuya who rushed to save her first.

Looking at Dongfang Wuya now, it was likely he had fallen for Shen Qinghe, yet was unwilling to admit it.

Waiting for Dongfang Wuya to vent his frustration, Sect Master Zuo sighed in relief.

Given Dongfang Wuya’s profound cultivation base, a mere sword exercise could be sensed throughout the entire Sky Pole Sect; he was not concerned about others, only that it might attract the attention of powerful figures from other sects.

As Dongfang Wuya sheathed his sword, Sect Master Zuo approached him with a beaming smile, "If something is on your mind, you can talk to me. Don’t bottle it up and suffer alone."

Dongfang Wuya lazily glanced at Sect Master Zuo, "You may leave now."

Zuo An thought to himself that a drunk man speaks his mind; perhaps if Dongfang Wuya had a few drinks, he might reveal his troubles.

"How about you join me for a few drinks?" Sect Master Zuo suggested.

"Who do you think you are, to dare ask this lord to drink with you?" Dongfang Wuya’s words were laced with scorn.

Zuo An felt that a man tormented by love had an awful temper; there was no point in continuing the conversation today.

"Then how about I keep you company for a few drinks, is that okay?" Zuo An offered cheerfully. Just a man frustrated in love, after all. Despite their lofty status, weren’t they just like any common men when it came to women?

"You can get lost!" Dongfang Wuya couldn’t be bothered to pay Zuo An any more attention.

Suddenly, Zuo An spoke softly, "Zhiyao is out of reach this time, and Qinghe lacks some practical combat experience. We can only hope that Xiao Chen and Changsheng will fully protect her..."

The next moment, Zuo An was forced into a corner by a gust of sword wind.

Zuo An hurriedly said, "I’m leaving, I’m leaving, isn’t that enough?"

Really, with such a bad temper, even if he were Shen Qinghe he wouldn’t fancy him!

In the end, Zuo An was unceremoniously kicked out of Bixiao Tower by Dongfang Wuya, but he wasn’t angry at all; he was magnanimous and forgave Dongfang Wuya’s rudeness.

One thing he was certain of, Dongfang Wuya was indeed restless because of Shen Qinghe, most likely moved by her but unwilling to admit it.

This situation was not good at all.

Wuya should not be entangled in romantic affections. Continued interactions with Shen Qinghe could lead to complications in the future. It’s not that Shen Qinghe was undesirable, but Wuya’s situation was unique. A person like him was not suited for love and romance; it might be best to stop before things went too far to prevent any future hurt for Qinghe, as well as for Wuya himself.

Meanwhile, Shen Qinghe closely followed behind Xiao Chen and Yan Changsheng.

It was only when she was about to leave Sky Pole Sect that she learned Yan Changsheng had left a trace of his Divine Sense on Shen Zhiyao. Yan Changsheng had the highest cultivation base among all of them at present, so only he could find elder sister in the shortest time.

Seeing Shen Qinghe following closely behind him, flying with instrument control, Yan Changsheng suddenly felt a pang of sorrow.

From the time she could remember, Shen Qinghe had been his little shadow, liking to run behind him; when she was very young, she even liked to call him Brother Changsheng.

As she grew older and many teased her as his little wife, she shyly began to call him simply Changsheng.
