Was it you that night?

Chapter 151: Chapter 149: Not Being Together Goes Against the Heavens!

"I am serious, Mr. Wuya is the person I respect the most. He is my senior fellow apprentice and elder; I have never had any improper thoughts about Mr. Wuya!" Shen Qinghe emphasized again, her expression extremely stern.

She felt that Mr. Wuya probably thought she harbored untoward feelings for him—hence he specifically sent Xiao Bai to probe the "enemy situation." She was determined to clarify matters well, to prevent Mr. Wuya from thinking she lusted after his beauty.

Xiao Bai, unwilling to give up, said, "Don’t you think the master is exceptionally handsome?"

In the face of the master’s stunning beauty and those long legs, how could Fairy Qinghe withstand such a visual assault?

How many female cultivators coveted the master’s body; how could Fairy Qinghe be so abnormal?

"Mr. Wuya indeed is handsome, and thus he has so many admirers; I shall not join that excitement. What I need to do is to diligently cultivate, without distraction!" Shen Qinghe declared righteously.

Xiao Bai’s brows remained furrowed with worry, "If the master leaves, won’t Fairy Qinghe feel reluctant to part?"

Shen Qinghe hadn’t expected Xiao Bai to suddenly ask such a question. She paused briefly before responding, "Life is full of meetings and partings, and someone like Mr. Wuya cannot be confined to one place; it’s normal for him to leave. It’s natural to feel reluctant, but I can’t just hold Mr. Wuya back and ask him not to go, can I?"

Indeed, she always forgot that Dongfang Wuya was also the male protagonist of the book.

A place like the Sky Pole Sect cannot restrain someone as significant as Dongfang Wuya. In the book, he indeed eventually left the Sky Pole Sect.

One day Mr. Wuya will become a great figure, and she was fortunate to receive his guidance; it is a blessing of three lifetimes.

"If the master leaves Sky Pole Sect, won’t Fairy Qinghe go with him?" Xiao Bai asked in a subdued voice.

He had already come to regard Fairy Qinghe as the mistress, accustomed to seeing her and even more used to the master becoming lively and animated because of Fairy Qinghe.

He couldn’t understand why there had to be departures; why couldn’t they be together forever?

Shen Qinghe replied with a resigned smile, her voice filled with sincere emotion, "Mr. Wuya has his own path to follow, and I have my own ties; he and I are not meant to walk the same road."

Not to mention she had family in the Sky Pole Sect; even if she were alone, she and Dongfang Wuya were not meant to walk the same path.

How could she, a cultivator who had recently achieved Core Formation, possibly go to the places Dongfang Wuya intended to visit?

"Fairy Qinghe speaks almost the same words as the master, but I still can’t understand why you two can’t be together." Xiao Bai said this and began to wipe away tears.

Shen Qinghe’s heart softened at once, and she was also surprised; she had not realized that a puppet could feel such intense emotions, to the point of crying.

"Xiao Bai, don’t cry, Mr. Wuya hasn’t left yet, has he? If one day I become successful, I can go to look for Mr. Wuya and you," Shen Qinghe said gently, patting Xiao Bai’s shoulder.

Xiao Bai was still overcome with sorrow and expressed his inner thoughts, "I still hope that Fairy Qinghe could be with the master. How about this; Fairy Qinghe should find a way to claim the master’s virginity, I’ll help you, and then the master will have to take responsibility for Fairy Qinghe. If you have a child afterward and there’s a little master, it will be difficult for the master to leave without taking Fairy Qinghe along..."

Shen Qinghe was frightened by Xiao Bai’s words and subconsciously looked around to make sure no one was nearby before letting out a sigh of relief.

"You must never say such things in the future; if Mr. Wuya hears it, it might lead to a disaster—I might end up flayed!" Shen Qinghe exclaimed, but then realized something was amiss, "Xiao Bai, tell me the truth, has someone been prompting you to say these outrageous things?"

Xiao Bai shook his head, "No, this is what I truly think deep down. I feel that if my master were to become Daoist companions with Fairy Qinghe..."

"Never again speak such utter nonsense. Mr. Wuya has shown me great kindness, and I hold him in high esteem. It is not as you think," Shen Qinghe, worried Xiao Bai would blurt out more absurdities, hurriedly cut off his lengthy speech.

Xiao Bai wanted to persist, "But Master is so good, could Fairy Qinghe really remain unmoved?"

In her heart, Shen Qinghe pondered whether Dongfang Wuya was someone a little female cultivator like her could afford to have feelings for? That was one of the vicious male leads, after all; she wanted to live a bit longer.

"I think you might be too idle. Perhaps if you found some work to do, got busy, you wouldn’t indulge in such wild fantasies anymore," Shen Qinghe suggested with a smile.

Xiao Bai: ...

At this moment, he finally understood what it meant when they say the emperor isn’t in a hurry, but his eunuchs are to death.

Neither the master nor Fairy Qinghe were in a hurry; only he, the bystander, was anxious. He alone felt it was a pity for the master and Fairy Qinghe to be apart.

Dejected, Xiao Bai left the Simple Residence Courtyard, still believing that the master and Fairy Qinghe were meant to be, that they should be Daoist companions rather than separated.

With such a temper, the master would have a hard time finding a Daoist companion in the future. Who other than Fairy Qinghe could handle the master?

But Fairy Qinghe was different—not only was her temperament pleasant, but she was also so beautiful; countless male cultivators in the Sky Pole Sect had fallen under her spell.

If the master really left, Fairy Qinghe would surely be swept away by another male cultivator.

If he didn’t plan for the master, then no one would!

That night, after it grew dark, Xiao Bai summoned Little Black, who thought Xiao Bai had some important matter, but after hearing Xiao Bai’s "grand plan," Little Black felt at a loss for words.

"Haven’t you considered the master’s status, and what Fairy Qinghe’s status is? Are they really suitable for each other?" Little Black said impatiently.

"How are they unsuitable? I can see clearly how much the master likes Fairy Qinghe. All these years, I have never seen the master take such pains for anyone else. For Fairy Qinghe, the master even gave Fairy Zhiyao the Immortal Pill. The master is not the type to meddle unnecessarily; only Fairy Qinghe has the ability to make the master abandon all principles and bottom lines. They are so well-matched; it would be against heaven’s will for them not to be together!"

Little Black watched Xiao Bai ramble on, shook his head, and sighed, "Just let things take their course. I’m afraid if you really try to matchmake the master and Fairy Qinghe, the master could annihilate you in his anger!"

What kind of temperament did the master have? Even though Xiao Bai and he had followed the master for many years, the master might not have any affection for them.

If the master was displeased, eliminating a puppet was a matter of a flick of the finger.

"The master won’t! I am certain the master really likes Fairy Qinghe. If I successfully matchmake the two of them, the master won’t have enough time to thank me!" Xiao Bai was brimming with confidence.

Although Little Black couldn’t understand where Xiao Bai’s confidence came from, he could only wish Xiao Bai success.

However, as his own little pal, he couldn’t help but advise, "Even if you do try to matchmake, don’t make it too obvious. The master cares about face; if you overdo it, the master’s pride might not stand it. Moreover, with the master’s status, Fairy Qinghe really isn’t suitable for him. Maybe you should reconsider?"
