Was it you that night?

Chapter 212: Chapter 210: Nan Sheng Returns!

"The master will definitely wait for the day Fairy Qinghe ascends. But once Fairy Qinghe ascends, what about the master?" Xiao Bai pondered this serious issue.

In the past, he always felt that the master would rise to the Nine Heavens, a place Fairy Qinghe couldn’t reach. But what if it was the other way around? If the master couldn’t awaken his Divine Body, then what?

Dongfang Wuya’s brows knit slightly.

Yet this was the reality.

With his innate Divine Physique, as long as he awakened his Divine Power, he could ascend above the Nine Heavens. But if he couldn’t awaken his Divine Physique throughout his life, and Shen Qinghe did ascend to become an immortal, wouldn’t they end up worlds apart?

"She said she would protect this Lord in the future. It seems she has the greater foresight," Dongfang Wuya said calmly.

Xiao Bai sighed inwardly, anyway in the master’s eyes, Fairy Qinghe was perfect. If Fairy Qinghe became an immortal and the master was still wandering The Four Seas and Eight Wilds, wouldn’t the master feel unworthy of Fairy Qinghe?

After driving Dongfang Wuya away, Shen Qinghe could finally focus on cultivation.

Who knows, maybe it was because of her Dual Cultivation with Dongfang Wuya, but this time she truly made a breakthrough.

When the others at the Sky Pole Sect saw Shen Qinghe’s cultivation base advance by leaps and bounds, they were not at all surprised; they were more interested in the romantic affairs between Dongfang Wuya and Shen Qinghe.

Some even speculated whether Dongfang Wuya’s days at the Simple Residence Courtyard were spent in nightly Dual Cultivation with Shen Qinghe and that her breakthrough was aided by Dongfang Wuya’s power.

Upon such speculation, who knows how many female cultivators envied and resented Shen Qinghe. This woman could not only share a bed with Dongfang Wuya’s beautiful body but also improved her cultivation base at an astonishing pace.

Before Shen Qinghe emerged, how many female cultivators wished to obtain Dongfang Wuya’s untouched body? Unfortunately, they were ruled out without even a chance to get close to Dongfang Wuya.

Shen Qinghe was originally just a frail mortal girl, but after meeting Dongfang Wuya, her fate changed drastically.

Many of Dongfang Wuya’s fangirls, despite their reluctance, had to admit that fate dealt different hands to different people.

Led by An Lu, the ardent fangirls who couldn’t beat Shen Qinghe could only curse her in the dark, hoping she would come to an unhappy end and be abandoned by Dongfang Wuya in time.

Even so, after a period of time, Shen Qinghe cultivated day and night and reached the Nascent Soul Completion Stage.

Not to mention the Sky Pole Sect being astounded, this affair was also being buzzed about across The Four Seas and Eight Wilds.

Before the cultivation prodigy Shen Qinghe appeared, there had been many talents in the cultivation world, including Nan Sheng who was also considered a once-in-a-millennium female genius.

But no genius was like Shen Qinghe, who in just a few short years, had advanced to become a Nascent Soul Completion Stage Cultivator, just a step away from the Emergence Stage.

Meanwhile, the date of Shen Qinghe’s marriage to Dongfang Wuya was set for the seventh day of the seventh month—the Qiqiao Festival.

For both Shen Qinghe and Dongfang Wuya, this was a day worth commemorating.

On that day, Dongfang Wuya revived Shen Qinghe, and it was also the day she was reborn and awakened.

Both of them felt it was a suitable day for their union.

During this time, apart from cultivating, Shen Qinghe engaged in another shameless form of cultivation with Dongfang Wuya.

Their wedding day was drawing nearer, and her heart became increasingly uneasy, simply because everything seemed too smoothly arranged.

If Nan Sheng had not lied, and Dongfang Wuya was to marry her as written in the book, then what did it have to do with Shen Qinghe?

Nan Sheng couldn’t just be driven out of the Sky Pole Sect without any follow-up. Shen Qinghe even felt that one day Nan Sheng might come back with a vengeance.

The reality was not an overreaction on her part. On the third day of July, Nan Sheng suddenly returned to the Sky Pole Sect.

No one in the Sky Pole Sect had expected Nan Sheng to return so quickly, as the scene of her being dejectedly expelled from the sect was still clear in everyone’s mind. Who could have anticipated her swift return?

And her new identity was that of the long-lost beloved daughter of the Demon Queen, recently bestowed the title of Thousand Shadows Princess of the Demon Realm.

This time, Nan Sheng’s return to the Sky Pole Sect was to seek an alliance through marriage, and her chosen partner was Xiao Chen.

When Xiao Chen arrived at the Council Hall, Nan Sheng joyfully flung herself towards him.

Xiao Chen agilely stepped back several paces, avoiding Nan Sheng’s lunge.

Zuo An watched the scene and thought that the handsome man and beautiful woman made a delightful picture together. Besides, there had once been a past romance between Xiao Chen and Nan Sheng. If Xiao Chen were to marry the Demon Realm Princess, it would be beneficial for the Sky Pole Sect.

But all he was the sect master, not Xiao Chen’s father. He couldn’t control Xiao Chen’s marriage affairs, which would depend on Xiao Chen’s own wishes.

"Xiao Chen is here, please have a seat," Zuo An warmly invited Xiao Chen to sit, looking at him as if he were a cash cow.

Xiao Chen politely responded, "May I know why the sect master has summoned me?"

"It’s like this. The Demon Realm knows that the Sky Pole Sect is replete with talent and wishes to form an alliance through marriage. Nan Sheng, the Demon Realm Princess, has specifically named you as her chosen partner," Zuo An said, getting straight to the point.

Xiao Chen glanced at Nan Sheng indifferently, "I am flattered by the princess’s admiration, but I already have someone in my heart, and I wish not to marry any woman other than her. Please, princess, consider someone else."

Zuo An was surprised by his reply, "Since when do you have someone in mind?"

Since Nan Sheng had left the Sky Pole Sect, he hadn’t heard of any woman being close to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen seemed gentle and courteous on the surface, maintaining a certain distance from everyone. Zuo An was not aware of Xiao Chen’s preference for women.

"My beloved is Qinghe," Xiao Chen said, not avoiding the answer and without any regard for Nan Sheng’s dignity.

Nan Sheng laughed instead of getting angry at his words, "As far as I know, Qinghe is about to marry Mr. Wuya. Why would you trouble yourself, Brother Xiao?"

She had returned triumphantly to the Sky Pole Sect, wanting everyone to see that she was Heaven’s Chosen Maiden. Even though she had been driven out, she could come back with an even more dignified identity.

Xiao Chen, however, had slapped her in the face, making her lose face in front of Zuo An.

"Whether she marries or not does not contradict the fact that I like her. If one day I were to marry, it would definitely be to marry Qinghe," Xiao Chen said and then addressed Zuo An, "If the sect master has no further instructions, your disciple asks to be excused!"

Seeing this, Nan Sheng immediately followed him out.

She blocked Xiao Chen’s path, "Brother Xiao, given my special status now, it’s inappropriate for me to stay in the Disciples’ Courtyard. I wish to spend the night in the Spring Breeze Pavilion tonight, may I?"

Xiao Chen replied to her succinctly with three words, "Not possible!"

Nan Sheng watched Xiao Chen fly away on his sword, a cold smirk appearing on her lips.

If Xiao Chen liked Shen Qinghe that much, how could he possibly do nothing and watch Shen Qinghe marry Dongfang Wuya?

After she was expelled from the Sky Pole Sect and became a princess of the Demon Realm, she knew she was still the Girl of Destiny in the story; no matter how far the plot deviated, it would lead back on course.

Thus, the male lead could only be hers, and Dongfang Wuya’s eventual bride
