Was it you that night?
Chapter 205 - 203: Mr. Wuya, Nine Heavens

Chapter 205: Chapter 203: Mr. Wuya, Nine Heavens

Shen Qinghe forced a bitter smile, "Mr. Wuya will leave the Sky Pole Sect sooner or later, and my cultivation base is too low; we’re not on the same path."

The place Dongfang Wuya was destined for was beyond her reach; if she truly became his spouse, she would have to work even harder to improve her own cultivation base.

"Did Mr. Wuya also leave the Sky Pole Sect in the original story?" Shen Zhiyao asked curiously.

Shen Qinghe silently nodded.

"Then where did he go?" Shen Zhiyao continued to ask out of curiosity.

Shen Qinghe pointed towards the sky, "Nine Heavens."

Shen Zhiyao exclaimed in surprise, finally understanding why Dongfang Wuya was so different from the other cultivators of the Sky Pole Sect, and why, even though he clearly had feelings for Qinghe, he said he only saw her as a disciple.

Nine Heavens, the abode of deities, was a place cultivators couldn’t reach, let alone Qinghe who was merely a little Golden Core cultivator.

"My status is worlds apart from Mr. Wuya’s; it’s not appropriate for us to get married," Shen Qinghe said, her emotions sinking.

"Indeed, how could someone like Mr. Wuya marry a little female cultivator? What exactly is his identity, do you know?" Shen Zhiyao pressed on.

Shen Qinghe shook her head, "I didn’t see the end of the original text, I only know that he later went to the Nine Heavens. After that, the Three Realms were thrown into great chaos because of Nan Sheng."

She had also asked Dongfang Wuya about his true identity, but he was unwilling to tell her.

Just as the sisters were discussing Dongfang Wuya, a sphere "whooshed" into the Simple Residence Courtyard and accurately drilled into Shen Qinghe’s Qiankun Bag.

Not only that, it tumbled about inside the Qiankun Bag, seemingly expressing its discontent.

Shen Qinghe then remembered she had forgotten to pick up the Beast Egg, no wonder the little guy was upset.

Shen Zhiyao couldn’t stop laughing at the side, "The things around you have all become spirits, each with their own personality."

"Perhaps it’s because they previously belonged to Mr. Wuya?" Shen Qinghe chuckled wryly.

"Still calling him Mr. Wuya? Shouldn’t you be calling him your husband instead?" Shen Zhiyao teased.

The smile on Shen Qinghe’s face faded, and she furrowed her brows, "I feel that this marriage is very unlikely to happen; let’s not spread word of this matter for now."

Shen Zhiyao felt the same, "That makes sense; Mr. Wuya indeed doesn’t seem quite right for you."

The difference in their status was too great.

Although Qinghe had a talent for cultivation, it was unknown how many years it would take for her to attain immortality.

"If Mr. Wuya is an immortal from the Nine Heavens, then why did he stay in the Sky Pole Sect? Besides, he wants to marry you but won’t even share his past with you; this puts you in too passive a position," Shen Zhiyao said, then her eyes suddenly lit up, "Do you think Mr. Wuya could possibly allow you to ascend on the spot?"

"That would not be in accordance with the laws of immortals," Shen Qinghe shook her head, although she too was unsure what those laws entailed.

"Forget it, just focus on your cultivation," Shen Zhiyao concluded.

Shen Zhiyao actually wanted to ask her sister about her feelings towards Mr. Wuya, but she’d rather Qinghe not come to understand them too quickly, to spare her the pain of emotions, to not fall for Mr. Wuya so deeply...

Nan Sheng’s expulsion from the Sky Pole Sect was a hot topic of gossip and, of course, also reached the ears of Yan Changsheng and Xiao Chen.

As Nan Sheng left the Sky Pole Sect, she waited and waited, hoped and hoped, but night fell, and Yan Changsheng and Xiao Chen still hadn’t come to bid her farewell.

These two men, one had once loved her crazily, and the other she had later fallen deeply in love with; yet on the day of her departure, neither had come to see her off.

No wonder they say men are fickle, she felt it deeply at this moment.

Shen Zhiyao had personally witnessed Nan Sheng leave the Sky Pole Sect with resentment. She deliberately mentioned this to Shen Qinghe, finding it exceptionally satisfying.

Shen Qinghe could understand Shen Zhiyao’s feelings because she, too, very much disliked Nan Sheng.

"It only proves that karma exists, and when the time comes, retribution follows," Shen Qinghe said, feeling relieved and invigorated, "elder sister, shall we practice swordplay?"

Shen Zhiyao readily agreed, but as soon as she crossed swords with Shen Qinghe, she noticed that Qinghe’s Sword Qi was becoming increasingly fierce, and her imposing aura made Zhiyao feel oppressed.

She quickly stepped back and asked, "Are you about to have a breakthrough? Why do I feel like your Cultivation Base is so overwhelming I can hardly breathe? Ah, the Black and White Rope has changed color again!"

Shen Qinghe looked down and saw that the rope had completely lost its black color, turning entirely white.

"How miraculous, how did it change color again?" Shen Qinghe was also surprised.

"Could it be that after Nan Sheng left, your Cultivation Base is about to breakthrough again?" As soon as Shen Zhiyao finished speaking, Shen Qinghe indeed felt that she was on the verge of a breakthrough.

At that time, the people of the Sky Pole Sect were still lamenting Nan Sheng’s expulsion from the sect, especially Zuo An and several elders, yet at this very moment, someone from the Simple Residence Courtyard was about to advance in level.

Of course, the person about to advance was Shen Qinghe.

"Master, Fairy Qinghe is breaking through again!" Xiao Bai ran to Dongfang Wuya to report this significant event.

Dongfang Wuya smiled slightly, "Isn’t that quite normal?"

Xiao Bai didn’t quite understand the implication of his words, "Is it normal for Fairy Qinghe to breakthrough again so soon?"

Dongfang Wuya just gave him a nonchalant smile and did not continue the conversation.

Xiao Bai felt even more puzzled when suddenly Little Black popped up and said to him, "Stupid! Have you not considered who our master is? Fairy Qinghe received our master’s purity, how could she not advance in level?"

After saying this, he quickly hid away again.

Xiao Bai suddenly realized, "So that’s how it is! Indeed, nothing could be more normal; master gave up the purity he had maintained for so many years to Fairy Qinghe, it must be a significant boost for her!"

Dongfang Wuya chuckled, "This girl sure is lucky."

"Exactly!" Xiao Bai was immediately filled with emotional tears, thinking that when Fairy Qinghe became his mistress, she should really thank him.

The news of Shen Qinghe’s sudden advancement shook the entire Sky Pole Sect, and many people, including Zuo An, headed to the outside of the Simple Residence Courtyard.

Xiao Chen and Yan Changsheng also arrived; their expressions were not very pleasant upon hearing the news of Shen Qinghe’s sudden advancement.

That’s because it had been less than ten days since Qinghe’s last advancement, which was not normal unless Qinghe had received an incredible fortune, and that fortune was very likely from Dongfang Wuya.

Although no one knew Dongfang Wuya’s background, judging by his Cultivation Base and Zuo An’s deferential attitude towards Wuya, they all guessed that Dongfang Wuya’s identity was extraordinary.

What method could allow a Cultivator to rapidly advance in level? That would be Dual Cultivation with a highly advanced Cultivator.

Qinghe’s subsequent advancement in such a short period could likely be due to Dual Cultivation with Dongfang Wuya; how could this make them happy?

In the midst of the commotion, Dongfang Wuya, dressed in red, appeared.

"Qinghe is in the middle of a breakthrough, don’t go in and disturb her," Zuo An saw Dongfang Wuya was about to enter the Simple Residence Courtyard and hastily stopped him.

Dongfang Wuya looked at Xiao Bai, who understood the hint and uttered the surprising words, "Master is going to see the mistress, how can that be called a disturbance?"
