Was it you that night?
Chapter 192 - 190: Indissoluble and Chaotic

Chapter 192: Chapter 190: Indissoluble and Chaotic

Xiao Bai knew he could no longer hide the truth, so he straightforwardly knelt before Dongfang Wuya, "It was, indeed, I who collaborated with Lord Meng Yun, attempting to pair master with Fairy Qinghe and instructed Little Black not to remind master. Master can kill or punish me as he wishes, but I won’t have any regrets. My only wish is for master and Fairy Qinghe to be together without any regrets!"

Dongfang Wuya laughed derisively, "You commit such sordid acts and yet pose as righteous?!"

Shen Qinghe is the most innocent of all. How could they never consider whether Shen Qinghe could accept such an upheaval?

"How could a beautiful marriage be considered a sordid act? Could it be that in master’s eyes, consummating a marriage with Fairy Qinghe is sordid?" Xiao Bai retorted.

At this moment, Dongfang Wuya genuinely wanted to crack open Xiao Bai’s head to see what was really inside. Not only daring to conspire with outsiders against him but also daring to talk back?

Little Black fell silent for a while before suddenly stating a harsh truth, "Although Xiao Bai’s actions are shameful, they were indeed for master’s sake."

How could Dongfang Wuya not know this?

Otherwise, he wouldn’t need to utter another word before he could erase Xiao Bai from existence.

The most pathetic part was that he couldn’t even find a target for his resentment. It was clearly he who had forged this entire situation. Xiao Bai believed he was doing him a favor by joining forces with Meng Yun, yet he never considered what this meant for Shen Qinghe?

How could he face Shen Qinghe after this?

Xiao Bai, having braced himself for Dongfang Wuya’s punishment, vanished without a trace when he saw his master said nothing.

Xiao Bai and Little Black exchanged a glance, both feeling apprehensive.

Master has always been arrogant, acting impulsively and willfully, but he has never put himself in such a predicament. Now being manipulated by someone so close to him, yet remaining silent, this was out of character for the master.

"Master has slept with Fairy Qinghe. Shouldn’t that make him happy?" Xiao Bai was puzzled.

He thought after sharing a bed, they should be joyfully together, cherishing each other for a lifetime.

"What do you understand? Master is so fond of Fairy Qinghe, yet so restrained in not approaching her. Now that we’ve meddled like this, it leads to an inextricable mess. Master is feeling very conflicted now and needs time to think clearly. He might also be unsure how to face Fairy Qinghe," Little Black replied sagely.

Xiao Bai felt that Little Black’s analysis sounded like that of a love expert and thought it made some sense.

Meanwhile, Xiao Chen was called aside by Yan Changsheng for questioning, "Why would you tarnish Qinghe’s reputation?"

Xiao Chen replied gently, "I sincerely wish to marry Qinghe. How could that be tarnishing her reputation? I am not like some, who despite loving someone, lack the courage to let her know, instead hiding their desire in dark and shameful corners."

Upon hearing this, Yan Changsheng scoffed coldly, "Do you think spreading these rumors will make Qinghe agree to be with you?"

There were many male cultivators who wished to marry Qinghe. What was Xiao Chen?

"I simply enjoy seeing Qinghe’s name linked with mine. Over time, Qinghe will surely see my true heart." As Xiao Chen spoke, he patted Yan Changsheng’s shoulder, smirking, "Changsheng, when Qinghe and I marry, you’ll bless us, won’t you?"

Yan Changzhu brushed off Xiao Chen’s hand, "That day will never come."

It was then that Xiao Chen abruptly changed the subject, "I think the bruise on Qinghe’s arm looks like it was caused by someone’s pinch. Back when Nan Sheng was close to you, I remember seeing similar bruises on her... "

"Qinghe is not that sort of person. Don’t you dare tarnish her reputation!" Yan Changsheng interrupted his speculation in displeasure.

Xiao Chen was unfazed, "Indeed, Qinghe is not that sort of person, but men are creatures blinded by lust. If Qinghe were with me, I’d definitely struggle to suppress my longing for her body—"

"Xiao Chen, keep your sordid thoughts to yourself!" Yan Changsheng cut off Xiao Chen’s nonsense.

Xiao Chen pressed on Yan Changsheng, "Isn’t that what you think? When you were with Nan Sheng, you were inseparable, day and night, as if afraid the whole world didn’t know how much love there was between you."

"Don’t compare Qinghe with Nan Sheng, they are completely different individuals." Yan Changsheng no longer wanted to communicate with Xiao Chen, so he left angrily.

Xiao Chen watched Yan Changsheng walk away, only thick shadows remaining in his eyes.

Considering Yan Changsheng’s history with Nan Sheng, once Yan Changsheng liked someone, he was definitely capable of doing anything for them.

Dongfang Wuya had already made a move on Shen Qinghe, and he still couldn’t act, not even sure if he would be a match for Dongfang Wuya even if he awakened his true self.

He had lain dormant for many years, and if he stirred up certain people at this time, Sky Pole Sect would definitely have no place for him, which would also mean no chance to be with Shen Qinghe anymore.

And he had guessed the identity of Dongfang Wuya; this person was someone he could not afford to provoke.

The best strategy was still to use Yan Changsheng against Dongfang Wuya, reaping the benefits from their fight.

Yan Changsheng indeed felt the influence of Xiao Chen’s words; his inner Heart Demon began to stir again, persuading him to take Shen Qinghe away and keep her locked up.

But no matter what, he couldn’t let himself fall into the demon’s path, for then he and Qinghe would stand on opposite sides. However, he couldn’t just watch Qinghe fall into Dongfang Wuya’s embrace with open eyes.

Shen Qinghe was also troubled.

In the past, she had been preoccupied with cultivation, but after last night’s encounter with Dongfang Wuya, she felt a bit anxious.

She couldn’t understand how her relationship with Dongfang Wuya had progressed to this point.

She’d never had any improper thoughts about Dongfang Wuya, who had repeatedly warned her not to harbor such feelings toward him, yet last night they’d become intimately involved.

How was she to face Dongfang Wuya from now on?

Shen Zhiyao noticed that Shen Qinghe’s mood was quite unstable. Her sister had always been free of desires, focusing solely on cultivation, as if there was nothing in this world that could trouble Qinghe.

And yet, in just this moment, Qinghe was actually sighing.

"Qinghe, are you troubled by something?" Shen Zhiyao picked up Shen Qinghe’s veil hat, "There are no strangers here, so there’s no need to wear it, right?"

Shen Qinghe furrowed her brows tightly and let out another long sigh, putting her veil hat on properly, "Mr. Wuya specifically instructed me to wear the veil hat."

Especially after the awkward situation this morning, Mr. Wuya had made a point to tell her to wear the veil hat, how could she not wear it?

Keep in mind that she already owed Mr. Wuya a lot, and last night she had taken away what he’d guarded for who knows how many years, his virginity, how could she not fulfill this small request of his?

"Truthfully, although you owe Mr. Wuya a favor, you don’t need to be at his beck and call, do you?" When Shen Zhiyao spoke, she was afraid that her benefactor Mr. Wuya might be nearby and overhear her words.

"I owe Mr. Wuya far too much, I won’t be able to repay it in this lifetime." Shen Qinghe said and let out another light sigh, "Elder sister, you don’t understand."

Whimper, she had ruined Mr. Wuya!

"If I don’t understand, explain it to me until I do." Shen Zhiyao looked at Shen Qinghe encouragingly.

The identity of the goose is rather impressive, and it’s estimated that it will be revealed soon.
